10:17.

In the International Conference Center Building, the conference room in the hall on the seventh floor is brightly lit.

The LED scrolling display in front of the hall plays back and forth the red font of "Celebrating the Successful Conclusion of the 10th Yuli Group's New Talent Vocational Training Conference".

On the rostrum, a U-shaped bald middle-aged leader in a suit and leather shoes was holding a microphone and spitting at the young employees below:

"We have fewer young people in our unit, what does that mean? That's the opportunity, let's think about it, when our old comrades retire, whose future will it be? That's your world......"

"Young people, the future is bright, as long as you work hard, it is not a problem to get an annual salary of 100,000 million a year......

"As long as we develop the company well and do a good job in every project in hand, everyone will ......benefit in the end."

"Come, everyone shout the company's slogan with me-

The company is my home, and everyone strives to grasp production.

The company is my home, and everyone works hard to achieve results.

The company is my home, and everyone sleeps and cares about it.

The company is my home, and everyone takes care of it......"

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

The applause at the bottom was repeated, and the energetic faces listened to it enthusiastically at the moment, applauding desperately, as if they were ready to spill blood and waste liver for the company's generations in the next second.

They rushed to respond to the call of the leaders on the stage, and the sound of slogans rang out wave after wave, shaking the green branches decorated in a corner.

In the corners of both sides of the conference room, there are several pots of lush phoenix bamboos, and the slender bamboo leaves hang down gently, pulling up a green barrier, separating the quiet corner from the lively hall.

Under the shade of green leaves, Gu Yu was leisurely looking around, as if he saw a leek field waiting to be cut.

At the beginning of the millennium, the young 80s began to gradually enter the society and took over the burden of building the country and society.

As the latest generation after the reform and opening up, and the last generation to grow up in traditional education, they are familiar with the story of the "working emperors" who started working step by step, with an annual salary of one million, and learned patience and obedience.

Therefore, this group of young people born in the 80s entered the job with the idea of "working as a worker, and working as a worker can also become a person", and moved forward bravely under the wielding of a radish and a stick by the leaders:

Working overtime, writing reports, cleaning...... I will do whatever the leader tells me to do.

Overdraft the kidneys and boil bald hair.

The loss of youth and the early birth of flowers.

Many people say that they are thirty years old and fifty years old, which sounds like a joke, but it is really the inevitable end of the bottom frontline workers.

They have dedicated their youth to the company, but the company has different attitudes and methods towards workers of different ages.

Twenty-year-old sits on the pie and talks about treatment.

Thirty-year-old talks about feelings and academic qualifications.

Forty, fifty......

Love to do it or not, don't do it just to move the position of young people. There are tens of thousands of people in the world, and there is no shortage of hard work.

Some people say: "State-owned enterprises are good, aren't state-owned enterprises able to fish?" ”

But in fact, state-owned enterprises have been de-administratively since 95, and there are only enterprise editors, not business editors, and the main goal after the reform is to go public and make profits.

For the leaders to touch the fish continue to fish, but for the workers ......

Before being reborn, Gu Yu attended a reunion of old classmates, and his memory was particularly deep.

In the middle of the party, a classmate brought in a classmate who had not appeared in the class reunion and group chat for a long time.

Those who have studied in college know that except for a few people in the same dormitory, college classmates basically come to play except for a few play, and the rest have become "familiar strangers" who don't necessarily greet each other after graduation.

This classmate is almost like this, when he was in college, he had a quiet personality, he was not easy to speak, and he felt a little "little transparent" even in class activities.

But Gu Yu still remembers him, because when he graduated, he and Gu Yu entered the same Yuli Group, but Gu Yu was admitted to the head office, and he entered the branch of Yuli.

But when he came in for the first time, almost all of his classmates didn't recognize him, thinking that he had gone to the wrong room.

In the graduation photo, he is wearing a white shirt, with white and clean skin, like a knife-cut face, a little young and white.

In the previous class reunion, there were girls holding graduation photos and laughing:

"Why didn't anyone find out that there was such a handsome guy hidden in the class?"

This time we met, but the appearance has changed greatly, both post-80s, some well-maintained classmates are still in their prime, like young girls; And he was black and haggard, and his eyes were full of vicissitudes as if a century had passed.

He was a little restrained at first, but after drinking a few glasses of wine, his face gradually turned red and he opened the conversation-

Since 06, he has worked hard for the company for so many years, but in exchange for the company's salary cut and work.

As the company responds to the call of the country - younger and simpler.

Internal salary cuts, layoffs, ...... All kinds of measures are also coming.

However, the number of leaders in the company's office has increased year by year, and most of the front-line workers at the grassroots level have been cut in half.

What was originally done by three people is now all pressed on one person.

He works as a quality inspector and is responsible for detecting the quality of coal, cement clinker and finished cement products. But to do their job, they don't honestly stay in the laboratory, wearing a white coat and operating instruments.

Instead, they have to climb up to more than ten meters high iron car and tall and smooth cement mixer truck, use iron buckets, buckets to take out samples for testing, one bucket often weighs dozens of pounds, and they have to be transported by bicycle to the laboratory a few kilometers away.

Because the matter of three people is now all pressed on one person, the sampling process that was originally two hours has now become less than an hour. I'm so busy every day that I may not have time to eat until noon.

Because it is far away from the company's canteen, it is usually transported to the factory gate by the aunt in a barrel, and the workers themselves go to the kitchen with lunch boxes. After the time passed, the aunt left and could only go to the cafeteria to eat.

One time in the middle of summer, a train came to bring coal, and he and his colleagues went to work, sweating through their clothes. As a result, because there was too much coal, I was busy until the afternoon, and I was busy with work. But there is no food to eat at this point, so I can only go to the cafeteria to eat.

As a result, a dispatcher stopped them and scolded:

"Can you die without a meal? One by one, I want to be lazy all day long, and my salary will be deducted from the assessment. ”

In an instant, he and several colleagues felt cold in their hearts, and in the middle of summer, they felt that the inside and outside of their bodies had entered the cold winter early.

"I really didn't want to do it at the time!"

Emotional, he choked up a little.

I don't want to do it, is there a way?

He and his wife are ordinary workers, and in addition to raising their children who are in junior high school, there are six elderly people waiting to be supported, in addition to the parents of the husband and wife who are "only children", as well as his grandparents.

Their parents have been laid off in the process of social transformation, suffer from high blood pressure and diabetes, and are usually in poor health, but they still insist on setting up stalls to sell vegetables early every day to reduce the burden on their children.

"When people are middle-aged~ they know that they can't help themselves!"

At the end of the party, he was drunk and muttered a sigh on the wine table.

Gu Yu took a deep breath, glanced at the energetic faces around him who were still in their green years, and felt relieved.

No matter what the future holds, at least now the years are quiet, the youth is still there, only cherish the present, hold the future, in order to avoid regrets,

Fortunately, they are young in the millennium~~
