Chapter 2 Unemployed upon graduation
After thanking Du Xuanming, Xin Lin left the induction cabin hall and walked towards the personnel department.
Xin Lin is also a part-time college student in the martial arts hall, and he is in the same school as Du Xuanming, so he is called a senior by the other party. However, Xin Lone's qualifications are much older than Du Xuanming's, and he has entered the martial arts hall since his junior year, and it is now his fifth year. Generally, part-time college students can only work as reception staff, or ordinary clerks in other departments, such as Du Xuanming.
And Xin Lian's position is the assistant coach of the martial arts department, and he has signed a formal labor contract with the martial arts hall!
The assistant coach is already a middle-level staff in the martial arts hall, and usually only recruits formal Force warriors, not only with a high salary, but also with good benefits, the biggest advantage is that he can use the various equipment of the martial arts hall at the best price without affecting customers after work, so Xin Lin has the opportunity to practice meditation in the induction cabin, otherwise with his meditation time exceeding that of normal people several times, the cost burden will be too heavy.
Xin Lian's job is to teach the youngest group of new students in the martial arts hall martial arts skills, especially the experience of Jingwu Changquan, and several martial arts halls near Strait City are well-known.
Jingwu Changquan is the most widely circulated set of basic martial arts in the Earth Federation, which was summarized by a group of top martial arts masters organized by the official body of the Federation, the "Super Energy Affairs Department", and has been improved many times, and is almost perfect.
Almost everyone can practice this set of Jingwu Changquan, but it is easy to learn and difficult to master, Xin Lin has been practicing Jingwu Changquan longer than he has been practicing meditation, since he was ten years old, and it has been fifteen years now!
In terms of cultivation, Xin Lin has nothing to say, but only when it comes to Jingwu Changquan, Xin Lin is confident that at his age, he will not lose to anyone in the Federation.
At the beginning, the martial arts hall hired Xin Lin as an assistant coach, precisely because of his experience in Jingwu Changquan, and in addition, he was optimistic about Xin Shan's potential, thinking that he would soon become a Force samurai.
It's just that the world is unpredictable, five years have passed, and Xin Lonely still can't sense the vacuum energy.
Of course, Xin Lin has cultivated several master students in the martial arts hall in the past few years, many of whom later became Force warriors, made a name for themselves in large and small competitions at all levels in the city, attracted a lot of business for the martial arts hall, and achieved outstanding performance.
But the management of the martial arts hall didn't think so, and in recent years, there have been quite a few complaints, and the manager of the martial arts department who hired Xin Lin at that time was also promoted and transferred, and no one in the management spoke for him. Xin Lone's contract is about to expire next week, and the personnel department has not sent anyone to discuss the renewal of his contract, and the attitude of the martial arts hall is obvious.
Now, Fei Zhengrong, the manager of the personnel department, made an appointment with him in the middle of the night when the martial arts hall was at its least crowded, and this was about to give the final notice.
"It's a pity, but it's actually a pretty good job." Xin Silent shook his head regretfully, mentally prepared.
When he arrived at the office of the personnel department, the translucent door opened automatically, and when Xin Lin entered the door, he saw Fei Zhengrong sitting behind a wide desk, wearing a suit and leather shoes, and his hair was meticulously combed, looking very formal.
Now the average life expectancy of federal citizens has reached 200 years old, Fei Zhengrong is over 80 years old, and he is at the peak of his life. At this time, when he saw Xin Lin enter the door, he got up and made a gesture to sit down.
Finding that there was no one else in the office, Xin Xiao said secretly: "It seems that he specially stayed until late at night to wait for him." ”
He has an average relationship with Fei Zhengrong, and when he usually meets, he just says hello, and there is almost no contact at work, and he just nods his head.
"Manager Fei, are you looking for me?" Xin asked as soon as he sat down.
"Yes, I invited you over this time to talk about work arrangements, but we have a lot of time, so we are not in a hurry to start ......" Fei Zhengrong said as he said, his index finger tapped a few times on the screen desktop, a glass of orange-red drink rose in front of him, slid smoothly in front of Xin Shi, and said with a smile: "Assistant Teacher Xin, you just finished meditating, let's have a cup of tranquility tea." ”
"Thank you, Manager Fei." Xin Lin did not refuse, after thanking him, he took a sip of Ningshen tea, the clear and sour tea entered his stomach, and his spirit was immediately lifted, and the fatigue after practicing meditation in his brain was gone, and the whole person was much more relaxed.
This cup of Ningshen tea is not an ordinary drink, it is actually a medicine prepared by the nutrition department of the martial arts hall, the main role is to relieve the load on the brain, restore the spirit, and take into account the taste, there are a variety of collocation, it is very popular with the students, the sales are very good, and it is also one of the important sources of profit for the martial arts hall.
The cup of tranquil tea in front of him was sweet and slightly sour, which was Xin Lian's favorite taste, and this small detail made him glance at Fei Zhengrong opposite.
"Assistant Teacher Xin, your meditation time has been extended again today, right?" Fei Zhengrong asked gently, as if he was doing a homely job.
"Yes," replied Xin Silence truthfully, "I have broken through three hours of meditation. ”
"Three hours ......" Fei Zhengrong sighed lightly and shook his head: "The previous meditation time record of non-Force warriors in our martial arts hall was one hour and three minutes, and you are almost three times the original record, this situation is really rare!" ”
Xin was silent, and Fei Zhengrong continued: "But I have read your personnel file, Assistant Teacher Xin was born at the end of the year, and he will be over twenty-five years old in half a year, and time waits for no one......"
Hearing this, Xin Xiao held the teacup in his hand, his eyes became cold, and he knew very well why Fei Zhengrong wanted to mention his age.
Twenty-five years old is a very important age for every Federation citizen who is interested in cultivation!
Because the success or failure of Force cultivation depends on meditation, and the effectiveness of meditation depends on brain cells.
Brain cells are the only non-renewable cells in the human body, reaching their peak at the age of 20 and numbering about 14 billion. Before the interstellar age, the brain cells of human beings on Earth began to die at a rate of 100,000 per day from the age of twenty, and now with the improvement of medical technology and average life expectancy, coupled with reasonable exercise, the time for brain cells to begin to decay has been extended by five years, and it only has an impact on meditation after the age of twenty-five, and the physical ability has gone downhill until death.
Therefore, theoretically speaking, the decade between the age of fifteen and twenty-five is the peak period of brain cell development, and it is also the golden period when humans are most likely to sense vacuum energy.
According to statistics from the Federal Department of Psychic Affairs, the proportion of all Force warriors who only sense vacuum energy after the age of twenty-five is less than one percent, and the older they are, the lower the percentage, and by the age of thirty, they are basically completely useless.
Therefore, there is a widely circulated saying: "If you don't become a samurai at the age of thirty, you will have no hope for life." ”
In fact, the vast majority of federal citizens stop meditating after the age of twenty-five.
Of course, miracles have happened, and the latest time in the history of the Federation to sense vacuum energy is ninety-four years old! However, at such an advanced age, he sensed the vacuum energy, and there was no future at all.
Xin Lin was born at the end of the year, and he will be twenty-five years old in half a year, which is also the main reason why the management of the martial arts hall thinks that he has no hope of becoming a Force samurai, and more and more people around him are not optimistic about Xin Shan's prospects.
Fei Zhengrong stopped at the point, did not continue on the issue of Xin Lone's age, changed the topic, and said: "I have here a record of Assistant Teacher Xin's cultivation time in the induction cabin in the past year, and the situation is not optimistic. He stretched out his finger and tapped on the desktop, and a light screen was projected between the two of them, and a series of data refreshed like a waterfall.
Xin Lin knew that the martial arts hall could call up the user's use record in the induction cabin at any time, and this was also the first time he saw his meditation data, he took a closer look and found that it listed in detail which induction cabin he used in a certain period of time in a certain year, month, day, and so on......
Flipping down a few pages, there are a total of 365 records in this record, which happens to be an earth year, and Xin Lin has not missed a day.
Last year, the meditation duration was only 2 hours and 26 minutes, but today, it has exceeded 3 hours.
When Xin Lin looked through his cultivation records, Fei Zhengrong said expressionlessly through the light screen: "Assistant Teacher Xin, because you are a staff member of the martial arts hall, the cost of using the induction cabin is at least five percent discounted, and it is two percent lower than the cost price, that is to say, every hour you use the induction cabin, the martial arts hall is operating at a loss on this induction cabin." ”
Originally, this was a benefit given to employees in the martial arts hall, but Assistant Teacher Xin's meditation time was more than three times that of others, and the frequency of use was particularly high, the average employee meditated once every two to three days, but Assistant Teacher Xin had to use the induction cabin to assist in meditation every day...... Cumulatively, the total cost of resources consumed by Assistant Teacher Xin on this benefit is equivalent to one-third of the salary paid to you by the martial arts hall! ”
"Coupled with the depreciation cost of the use of the induction cabin, the total price will rise by another ten percent, as well as the preferential treatment of Assistant Teacher Xin on other consumption in the martial arts hall......"
With a soft "bang", Xin Xiao put the teacup on the table and said coldly: "Manager Fei, don't say it anymore." I know that I have consumed a lot of the resources of the martial arts hall, but my performance is also obvious to all, and the ranking has never fallen out of the top five, have you ever calculated how much profit I bring to the martial arts hall? I'm afraid it's far more than that! ”
A trace of embarrassment appeared on Fei Zhengrong's face, his purpose today is not to renew the contract with Xin Lian, of course, he will only calculate the losses that Xin Lin has brought to the martial arts hall, as for Xin Lian's contribution to the martial arts hall, it is never mentioned, let alone calculated.
Fortunately, with many years of work experience in the workplace, Fei Zhengrong had already developed a cheeky face, coughed dryly, and said, "Assistant Teacher Xin, I hope you can understand the difficulties of the martial arts hall." ”
"The operation of the martial arts hall is getting better day by day, what are the difficulties?" Xin asked rhetorically.
"Well...... Fei Zhengrong's face was stunned, to be honest, the martial arts hall was really at a loss in this matter. He suddenly cursed in his heart, but it was not Xin Lin who was scolded, but Li Szt, the director of the martial arts hall.
This martial arts hall is called "Qimai", and like the hundreds of Qimai martial arts halls distributed on major planets of the Federation, they all belong to the property of the Blatter family, and Liszt is the director of the Straits City branch library, and it is said that he has a strong relationship with a core member of the Blatter family.
Not renewing the contract with Xin Lin is a decision made by Liszt, and as for the reason, Fei Zhengrong knows it very well.
Liszt has a nephew who is the same age as Xin Lin and is also a fresh graduate this year, and has not yet found a suitable job. However, this person is a little stronger than Xin Lone, he is a Force warrior, although he only started a few months ago, and it is estimated that he has only gathered one or two Force nodes, but in any case, he is also a registered and naturalized junior warrior, based on this alone, Liszt arranged him into the martial arts hall as an assistant teacher, and others are blameless.
Because the number of assistant coaches in the martial arts hall is limited, Xin Lone, who has neither the Force nor a backer, is unlucky when his contract expires.
Of course, Xin Si's huge consumption of using the induction cabin, as well as his long meditation but inability to sense vacuum energy, is not optimistic about his prospects, and it is also one of the reasons why Li Szt decided not to renew his contract with Xin Li, but these are secondary reasons, as an excuse, the main reason is that Li Szt wants to arrange his juniors into the martial arts hall.
Curator Liszt gave an order, but Fei Zhengrong wanted to come forward to act as this villain, but Liszt was his top boss, if Xin Lonely didn't leave, then he wouldn't think about it in the future.
The atmosphere in the office was very embarrassing, for the sake of his own job, Fei Zhengrong put away that little compassion, and was about to speak, but saw Xin Lin waving his hand, and said: "Manager Fei, if the martial arts hall doesn't want to renew the contract with me, I don't want to fight, as long as I am compensated, I will leave immediately." ”
Fei Zhengrong didn't expect Xin Xiao to let go so quickly, he hurriedly put away the set of unconvincing rhetoric that he had thought of before, and said quickly: "According to the provisions of the federal labor law, the martial arts hall will give you a compensation equivalent to six months' salary, based on your average salary in the previous six months, the amount is about 80,000 yuan, do you accept it?" ”
"Yes."
Xin Lin nodded, as early as when there were rumors in the martial arts hall that he would not renew his contract again, he had already checked the federal labor law, and the amount Fei Zhengrong offered was about the same as he predicted. If he sues Wuguan for arbitration, he may be able to get more money, but Xin Lin has vaguely felt that his meditation has been a little abnormal recently, and he doesn't want to be distracted by that little money.
Nothing is as important as sensing the vacuum energy yourself!
Fei Zhengrong was overjoyed, and said with a quick operation in his hand: "Assistant Teacher Xin, as long as you sign this agreement to terminate the labor relationship, 80,000 yuan will be paid immediately." ”
The light curtain on the table flickered, and a long prepared agreement appeared on the map, Xin Lin looked at it carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, he logged in his citizenship serial number, signed his name on the desktop with his fingers, and at the same time printed the entire palm on the table, and then stamped his own personal electronic seal, so the agreement took effect.
A second later, the mobile phone on Xin Lian's wrist shook slightly, and when he raised his hand, he saw that a copy of the agreement had been received in the mailbox, and at the same time, the bank prompted that a compensation of more than 80,000 yuan had been credited to the account.
"Assistant Teacher Xin, there are four days left before your contract expires, and it just so happens that you have three days of annual leave that is useless, so start tomorrow as a holiday, I will arrange for other teaching assistants to top the work in these days, and you will be able to hand over the work on the last day." Seeing that the headache for half a month was finally solved, Fei Zhengrong, who was already ready to prepare for Bo Gongtang, breathed a sigh of relief, and his mood became extremely relaxed.
Xin was stunned for a moment, obviously Fei Zhengrong had calculated it in advance, so he specially arranged to interview himself tonight, but he had already signed the agreement, so there was nothing to worry about, and he said politely: "Okay, Manager Fei, I will leave." ”
After saying that, Xin Lin got up and walked out of the office.
Fei Zhengrong couldn't help but feel a little distracted as he watched Xin Lone's back disappear outside the door, as well as the cup of tranquility tea on the table that he had only taken a sip of. From Xin Lin entering the door to leaving, the whole process took less than five minutes, and he behaved quite calmly, which was really unexpected by him.
"Doesn't he care about the teaching assistant job?" Fei Zhengrong said secretly in his heart.
It's hard to find a job in the interstellar age, and it's even harder to get a good job!
Nowadays, with the development of science and technology, almost all jobs that require physical labor are done by machines, and the competition for jobs in mental labor is extremely fierce, even an ordinary white-collar position has to beat a dozen competitors to get, and most of the losers can only enter the service industry in the end, but the salary of service personnel is small, and the social status is also low, and many people would rather stay at home than go to work.
As a result, the unemployment rate of the Earth Federation has remained high for many years, and has been maintained at about 20 percent, and this group of people live on the basic benefits provided by the federal government, neither starving to death, nor living a good life.
The position of assistant coach in the martial arts gym seems ordinary, but for a young person who is about to graduate from college, it is one of the best jobs he can find, with high salary and good salary, and the starting point is much higher than that of more than ninety out of five graduates.
Fei Zhengrong empathized, if he learned that he was going to lose his teaching assistant job when he was about to graduate, he would definitely be angry, trembling with anger, making a lot of noise, and it was natural to go to court, and he would never be like Xin Lian who was talking about other people's things neatly and neatly, and made a decision in a few minutes.
Even if this calm is only pretended on the surface, it is enough to prove the excellence of Xin Lone.
"I hope Liszt's decision today is right, otherwise it would be me who will bear the blame." Fei Zhengrong thought silently, sat alone in the office for more than ten minutes, and made sure that he would not run into Xin Lonely in the parking lot, and then went home from work.
