The carefully revised resumes flew into the mailboxes of HR of different companies along with the emails.

Although Yang Zheng also knows that most of the endings of this email must be lost. But his face was still full of yearning.

Yearning also represents love.

It was as if he had finally found what he loved most in the twenty-nine years he had lived.

That love is called life.

As long as you love life, life will sometimes give you hope, right?

But Yang Zheng seems to underestimate life.

Twenty-nine is not too old, nor is it young. In particular, he is still engaged in the work of a programmer, in this somewhat youthful profession. In addition to large enterprises with strict requirements, small and medium-sized enterprises prefer to recruit college students who have just stepped out of school and are a little bookish and full of energy.

These students have lofty ideals, they will be willing to give up their current life and the treatment and salary that should belong to them in many beautiful speeches, they are willing to work like a cow, like a cow in the company to depict a better future.

In the 996 work system advocated by many bigwigs, like the age of twenty-nine, which should be full of vitality, has long since changed from the cow expected by the enterprise to a sheep.

Although sheep also have their value. But sheep are not as honest as cows, and even less cattle are hard-working.

Obviously, the recruitment information they typed out said that they were going to recruit wolves with wolf nature.

But in the end, it seems that all the cattle and sheep that come in are the wolves that love to eat.

……

Uncle Li, who is seventy-five years old this year, heard him say that he was also a famous student on this street when he was young.

But now Uncle Li has a wrinkled face, small eyes, and broken eyebrows. It's hard to imagine that he was really a handsome young man in his prime, as he said.

However, no matter what Uncle Li is doing now, he still has many friends on this street, and he has always been the chess king of this street.

Uncle Li's chess style is different from that of most chess players.

His chess is more like a hundred chess, because whenever he plays chess, there is always a group of people gathered behind him. These people, the youngest ones are five or six years old, and the younger ones are twenty or thirty years old, forty or fifty years old, but there are more old people who are about the same age as him.

In addition to the first few moves, Uncle Li will be pointed at by these people in almost every subsequent move.

Whenever he encounters this situation, Uncle Li will always smile and show his big yellow teeth, seriously think about the words of these people, and then choose what he thinks is the most perfect move.

Some people say that Uncle Li's title of "chess king" is not worthy of the name at all. Because his victory or defeat was pointed out by the people around him.

Some people also say that Uncle Li's chess is not glorious to win, after all, his opponent is dealing with dozens of people led by Uncle Li at the same time.

But they seem to forget that last year's Uncle Li won the third place in the senior group of the provincial chess competition, and they also forgot that Uncle Li was also a master chess player recognized by the state when he was young.

Uncle Li is also worthy of the title of master when he was young.

No matter how others slander him, insult him, or curse him, he will always sit here lightly, and play every game of chess seriously in this small street, in this small park, and in this small chessboard.

……

Yang Zheng hasn't played chess for a week.

This week, he has been tired of interviewing, and sometimes he has to interview several companies in a day.

But the ending seems to have been predestined by God a long time ago.

He is a person who is not good at words and expression, and among this group of young people who are more energetic and energetic than him, he is even less outstanding.

He has a longer work experience than young people, and he also has a calm and responsible attitude that young people do not have, of course, his biggest advantage is his quality, kindness and honesty.

But it seemed to have become a burden for him this week.

Whenever the interviewer asks him why he left his previous company, he will truthfully say that he is not good at handling interpersonal relationships and offended the leader to leave.

His honest answer was met with suspicion of his character by interviewers who were much younger than him.

Similarly, whenever the interviewer vaguely asks him if he can accept overtime without a base salary and a salary that does not meet his value, he will answer truthfully, no.

This honesty made him label as mindless and emotionally unintelligent.

Except for a few small companies that are really short of manpower, the interviewers of most companies will politely use a sentence and wait for the notice to send him away.

His somewhat cumbersome honesty has also become an interesting little joke in the city's already small HR circle.

Under the exaggerated rendering of those who want to form jokes, many senior HRs have labeled this honest and honest man as "fool".

Of course, not everyone has malice, speculation, and suspicion towards Yang Zheng, a pure man.

There are still two companies that still give Yang Zheng enough goodwill, and one is a new type of network company that makes mobile games. He thought that Yang Zheng was honest and down-to-earth enough, so he sincerely invited him to join his team, but his work place was far away in Ice City. Yang Zheng thought about it for a long time but still refused.

He was reluctant to rejoice, and when he left the city where he had lived for twenty-nine years, he would feel inexplicably unwilling in his heart.

However, he still left the phone number of the man who was full of kindness to him, and this was the first time he took the initiative to leave someone else's phone. It was also the first time he looked at himself from the inside out.

It turned out that he was not as good as he imagined.

It turns out that his age is not young.

As for the second company that is willing to ask for him, it is an Internet company that is in dire need of manpower, and their boss is an elderly man whose eyes are full of kindness.

He should also be a good person, willing to give Yang Zheng ideal treatment, and willing to give the salary prescribed by law when working overtime. But he was so good that the young people in his company used him as a pedal to go to better companies.

He should also be an old man who sees through life, and no matter what reason his employees leave, he will bless him from the bottom of his heart.

He is also very famous, at least Yang Zheng knew his name in the previous company. But it was also because he knew his great name that he refused the old man's invitation.

After all, the company run by this old man has always been free in order to keep its promise to users. Even though he can't make ends meet, he never defaults on his employees' wages.

The money that pays employees is basically the old man's life savings. The app designed by their company has absolutely no possibility of resurrection if it does not increase the charging model.

The world is cruel, and even if he is a good guy with a great reputation, no venture capital firm is willing to support him.

Coupled with his advanced age, he can say that there will be no turning over in this life.

And his app is destined to close with his death, and his persistence will also live in some people's memories with the end of his life and his app.

Yang Zheng is an honest man, he understands that even if he doesn't go, this old man can run the app alone, and he also understands that the old man just wants to find an employee and restore the lively atmosphere before.

Therefore, he resolutely refused.

However, he still gave the old man a glass of wine at the end.

The wine was halfway through the interview, and he impulsively went downstairs to buy it at the convenience store. He took the can of room temperature beer and returned to the old man's office.

Under the old man's astonished gaze, he opened the jar and plucked up the courage to toast him.

This should be the craziest he has been in 29 years.

It is also the one he has regretted the least in the past 29 years.

This cup is not only for the elderly.

What I respect even more is his kindness and persistence.

He finished his toast and staggered out like a child.

Outside the door was the sunset when he failed when he left his job, and he stepped on the sunset when he won chess that day, and his heart was full of hope.
