Post-2000 boss: You can be late up to seven days a week!

Chapter 188 Like the Moon in the Water

Magic City, Bihai Park.

Under the cover of the hazy moonlight, two figures quietly entered the park.

The bright full moon is reflected on the calm lake, the breeze wrinkles, and the lake surface ripples like a silver mirror.

The photographer looked at the calm lake with a strange expression on his face.

"Are there any fish in this park?"

Bai Chen disagreed.

"Of course. I came to work out in the morning and saw some uncles and aunts fishing!"

With that said, Bai Chen threw out the fishing rod in his hand.

Looking at the fishing rod in his hand, the photographer suddenly had a trance-like experience.

This seemingly ordinary daily happiness was something he had never experienced since graduating and joining the workforce.

He doesn't know where to start, his life seems to have been occupied by overtime work.

After work every day, I just want to curl up at home and lie in bed. The little free time I have is spent watching short videos on my phone, or lying in bed without thinking about anything.

If Bai Chen hadn't suddenly thought of this today, I'm afraid he probably wouldn't have experienced this.

I don’t know when it started, but my companions who used to play games with me in Internet cafes all started to drift apart because of their busy work schedules.

Although they have just graduated a few years ago, everyone seems to have ended up lonely in life as described in the book.

The photographer stared at the calm lake, his eyes a little dull.

When he realized this, he felt a little disappointed and froze in place.

Bai Chen stared at the photographer who was quietly watching the calm lake. At this moment, the photographer's brows were frowning, but the sadness between his brows was like a bit of ice that had never melted.

Bai Chen couldn't help but feel confused.

"what happened?"

The photographer pointed to the full moon in the lake and was filled with emotion.

"Just out of society, it seems that true friendship is like the moon in the water at this moment. I can only watch..."

"Even if we make an appointment several months in advance, as soon as the food is served, there will always be people who take a few bites and leave due to work reasons, and I am no exception..."

The photographer couldn't help but lower his head, his face full of sadness.

Bai Chen put his palm on the photographer's shoulder and patted it gently a few times to express comfort.

"Our life should not only be about work, we have friends, wives, and relatives. When your day is exploited by capitalists and only rest and work are left, then your emotions will inevitably give way to work..."

"The fundamental reason is that when our will cannot be unified with reality, we will feel pain."

The photographer looked at Bai Chen who kept spitting out golden quotes in front of him. He was stunned subconsciously and said with a strange expression on his face:

"Is this also what Mr. Cao said in his quotations?"

Bai Chen nodded decisively.

"That's right! Many people today are numb and don't even think it's important to work for more than eight hours..."

"But when you are in pain, you should reflect on it. Is it reality that makes me suffer? Is it work that makes us suffer?"

"Wrong, it's capital. They deprive us of our rest time, causing us to have no time to hang out with our friends and do stupid things. As a result, we have no time to go back to visit our elderly parents, or even have no time to find a partner. The companionship will be with ourselves. Someone who is having the time of his life!”

"And the pain you feel now is just based on looking back at the past now, because neither they nor you had the extra leisure time to slowly savor the happy times before!"

The photographer couldn't help but be shocked when he heard what Bai Chen said.

Thinking about it so carefully, it seems that this is really the case. .

From the Qingming festival to the Spring Festival, he has almost never gone home to visit his parents. Every time it was because I was too busy at work or for other reasons.

Even if there is such time, after all, the holiday is only three or four days.

Coupled with time off and the like, the usual work pressure becomes even greater.

Traveling thousands of kilometers back and forth to visit his parents, he felt tired just thinking about it.

To be honest, isn't it because he works so hard at work that he has no energy to do anything?

Even if they take this kind of vacation, they are mostly used to heal the psychological trauma suffered at work at home.

As for this kind of leisure time of playing games with friends or even going fishing in the evening, he didn't dare to think about it.

Looking at Bai Chen, whose spirit was completely different from his own, the photographer couldn't help but sigh.

He looked up at the bright moon and sighed:

"Mr. Cao. He is really a philosopher..."

To be able to point out the common problem of migrant workers in contemporary Kyushu with such precision and say such philosophical words makes the photographer feel ashamed.

Unfortunately, Bai Chen shook his head after listening to the photographer's emotion.

"Mr. Cao said that philosophers use different perspectives to explain the world and problems, but what we need is to solve problems!"

"So Mr. Cao probably doesn't like others calling him a philosopher. He is trying to solve problems."

The photographer lowered his head and looked at the fishing rod in his hand with a helpless expression.

"Since ancient times, how can those who change the law have a good end?"

Bai Chen responded with a smile: "In Mr. Cao's words, he is a soft-hearted person who cannot see the suffering in front of him, nor can he see others treating him like a horse!"

"He could have been like other capitalists, standing high..."

"Wouldn't that mean you have no conscience?"

The two looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

"Yo! The fish is hooked!"

……

In the studio, everyone looked at Bai Chen and the photographer who were sitting in the park fishing, with very difficult expressions on their faces.

"It turns out that even if Mr. Cao gave him an eight-hour working day, wasn't it a waste? First he went to an Internet cafe and then went to the park to fish. This is not what a young man in his twenties should do! "

"That's right! Back then, Mr. Sun's words about studying for the rise of Kyushu inspired many scholars. Today, we, the younger generation of Kyushu, have time to stop studying? Instead, we are obsessed with fishing, an activity that only retired men like?"

"What's so good about this kind of activity? When you retire, you will have plenty of time to fish. Shouldn't the most important thing now be to work hard? Even if you don't burn yourself at work, at least you should read more books to cultivate your sentiments. Bar?"

The audience in the live broadcast room looked at the scene of the two people sitting alone by the lake, fishing leisurely, and they were also filled with emotions.

[I don’t know when I started to envy this kind of life! 】

[What I envy is not that people go fishing, but that they have a lot of time at their disposal after get off work. We have to read, bask in the sun, and do things that others look stupid for eight hours! 】

[I want to go home to see my parents and spend time with my wife and children! 】

[We are not machines, machines only run continuously for a day! 】

[Although it is true that jobs can be created without using machines, it doesn’t mean we will be caught using machines, right? It is said that the robot home will be scrapped after being used for a long time! 】

[Sure enough, Mr. Cao’s side looks like science fiction no matter how you look at it! 】
