After the completion of the People's Republic of China, the iron ore mine in Dahetao Town was completely preserved. After the local government took over, the big walnut iron mine upgraded its equipment year by year, and it was also booming.

The residents of Da Walnut Town are basically employees of Da Walnut Iron Mine or the families of employees. The same is true of Chen Ziyang's parents, both of whom are mine workers. Chen Ziyang has been attending the mine children's school opened by the iron mine since he was a child, the big walnut iron mine children's primary school, and the big walnut iron mine children's middle school. That is, in the middle school for the children of the big walnut iron mine, Chen Ziyang was so frightened by the blood spirit tablet that he didn't dare to go to the men's toilet for three years.

The people of this town are simple and unpretentious, and life here is peaceful and comfortable. It is precisely for this reason, coupled with Lao Dao's original warning, that Chen Ziyang was instructed not to be too far away from home when he works in the future. After graduating from college, Chen Ziyang, a lazy man, did not choose to stay and work in those first- and second-tier big cities like his other college classmates, but returned to his hometown, returned to the big walnut town where he was born and raised, and lived a simple and quiet life.

Because Chen Ziyang is a college student, coupled with his father's relationship with an old worker in the mine, he easily became a regular employee of the mine. Chen Ziyang just worked in 2004, at that time just caught up with the best efficiency of the mine, coupled with the accelerated development of iron ore at that time, iron ore was introducing information software, and Chen Ziyang University studied information management and information system, is a major that even he does not know what this major is for, so he was assigned to the information department of the iron ore agency.

At that time, it was enviable that you could work in an iron ore mine as soon as you graduated.

Chen Ziyang's job in the Information Department is simple and easy. Every day, he only needs to spend half an hour to an hour to sort out and enter the data automatically collected by the previous day's system into the system.

Aside from occasionally typing a few SQL statements to help others query the data, there's basically nothing to do. Then there are very few times when the system crashes due to emergencies, as long as you debug a few times according to the operating instructions given by the outsourcing software provider, if it is not repaired well, call the outsourcing software provider and ask them to send someone to repair it remotely online.

Chen Ziyang's life during this period was the most comfortable. Just graduated from college, he got a salary of several thousand yuan, drank tea when he went to work, read the newspaper, and bragged with his colleagues. For an unmotivated lazy man like him, this is undoubtedly a fairy-like day.

Unfortunately, the good times were short-lived. I don't know why, after a few years, the efficiency of iron ore slowly began to decline, and after a few years, iron ore even reached the verge of bankruptcy. Chen Ziyang thinks that the funniest thing is that the tasks given by other head offices to subsidiaries are how much money you make, but at that time, the indicator given by the superiors to the big walnut iron mine was that the quarterly loss should not exceed how much money! It can be seen that the iron ore mines were in recession at that time, and the general environment was like this. Even such loose policies have not been able to stop the decline of the iron ore economy.

The loss target of Big Walnut Iron Mine in one quarter was exceeded in only one month!

As mine workers, Chen and his colleagues don't really understand why the steel industry is so down. Their main concern is only food, clothing, shelter and transportation. First of all, the most terrible thing is that they can't pay wages for several months in a row, and finally wait for the wages to be paid and tell them that they will only be paid basic wages in the future, and then the iron ore mine production is reduced and intermittently suspended, and then even the payment of basic wages has become a problem, only 500 yuan a month for each person's living expenses, and then a large number of non-regular workers are dismissed.

It is in this environment that Chen Ziyang has basically become a quasi-laid-off worker in the new era.

The world is impermanent, and the steelmaking blast furnace that was so prosperous back then is no longer smoking, and the scenery of the past is no more. Chen Ziyang, as a child of the mine, can be regarded as witnessing the rise and fall of iron mines in his hometown. When the benefits are good, they are so good that they are heavenly, and when they are bad, they can also kill a bunch of people.

In fact, it is an exaggeration to say that Chen Ziyang is a laid-off worker, but Chen Ziyang is no different from leaving his job without pay now. The workers in the mine receive a living allowance of several hundred yuan a month, and everyone wants to find another way. The younger and the more capable go out of the ravine to find work, the diligent go to the nearby counties and cities to work, and those who have relatives and friends outside go to take refuge. In short, the eight immortals crossed the sea to show their magical powers.

At this time, Chen Ziyang found that he was a little embarrassed.

At the age of his early thirties, his career of achieving nothing, the lazy work habits that he had spent six or seven years cultivating since he was a child, and now Chen Ziyang is dumbfounded, he has no other livelihood skills at all.

When you go out to find a job, age has no advantage; Looking for a job near a small town, I feel that I make too little money and I am tired. He can't do a job that makes a lot of money. After going back and forth, Chen Ziyang found a very serious problem: he had no money!

Chen Ziyang has worked for a few years, in addition to the necessary expenses of life, but he has just bought a house with all his savings, but now this house cannot be used as food, and cannot be used as money.

Chen Ziyang is like this now, he has achieved nothing and is empty-handed. Fortunately, his parents are retired, and although the retirement salary is not much, at least his parents' lives are guaranteed. And Chen Ziyang has never been married because of fate, the whole family is not hungry when he eats alone, and there is no drag from the family, he can do anything if he wants to.

Chen Ziyang's days were mixed day by day, and he also tried a lot of ways to make money during this period. He has taken the civil service exam, found a job through connections, opened an online store, and wrote novels on the Internet...... But without exception, each story doesn't end very well.

Chen Ziyang, a civil servant, did not enter a one-to-three interview; He can't get the favors he needs to find a job; He only sold three local products in the Northeast a month, and the remaining unsold mushrooms and fungus attracted insects because of improper storage; I wrote 600,000 words on the Internet to write a novel, but I didn't sign a contract, and there were only three votes for the recommendation from beginning to end, two of which were voted by himself, and the other one was asked for in the forum.

In a word, the current Chen Ziyang has nothing left over from eating, and what is not going to work! Seeing that half of his life was about to pass, he couldn't even marry a wife, his parents nagged in his ear every day about work and marrying a daughter-in-law, and he went out to drink with friends every night.

Just when Chen Ziyang was about to spend the rest of his life in a mess, Yang Lei found him on this day.
