alien heir

() The people who were frustrated and drunk because of the company's collapse were not only Cheng Yuan and Liu Sida, but also many people like them, so when the two of them walked shoulder to shoulder and came to a restaurant near the company to order some side dishes While drinking, I found that many former employees of the company had gathered here, and most of them were programmers similar to Cheng Yuan.

"It seems to be from your information engineering department. Do you want to ask them to come here?" Seeing the group of people, Liu Sida asked Cheng Yuan.

"Forget it, I'm not very familiar with it usually." Cheng Yuan shook his head.

"I knew you would say that." Liu Sida sighed, "You are always like this, and you don't like to fit in. However, it's okay not to chat with them. They are different from you. You are a master's degree from Shangdong University. The company It's broken, you can always find a good job with your academic qualifications, they are enough."

Glancing at the group of colleagues who were yelling after drinking too much, Cheng Yuan pursed his lips and said nothing.

Indeed, unlike the marketing department and other departments, most of the programmers who work in the information engineering department are homeboys like Cheng Yuan. Although they earn a lot of money, their social circle is actually very narrow, so they naturally prefer stability and job-hopping Aspirations are not high.Especially after working in a company for a long time, you already have a certain circle of connections and qualifications. Going to another company is tantamount to starting again. This is not an ordinary blow to everyone.

In today's China, the unemployment rate is constantly increasing, and the employment situation is severe. Old programmers like them who have been working for many years may not be much better than young programmers who have just graduated from college.

You must know that making programs are those routines, experience is secondary, and innovation is the most important.The younger you are, the more energetic and creative you are. You can keep learning new things and have endless good ideas. However, old programmers not only start to decline in innovation, but also have high requirements and are difficult to serve. Compared with the members, the comparison of advantages and disadvantages is obvious.

Therefore, in the software companies of China, most of the old programmers rely on their seniority to make money, but if the company closes down, the situation is different. It is tantamount to starting again and competing with young programmers on the same starting line. The pressure is not 01: 30 o'clock.

In short, it is not difficult for many old programmers to find a job, but it is more difficult to find a company with high and stable income.

Of course, if you have a master's degree from a prestigious university, it is still easy to find a good job in China, but most of the programmers here, few have a master's degree.

After all, today's technology companies have also begun to be pragmatic. As far as programming is concerned, a master's degree may not be better than an undergraduate. Spectacular, that is to say, for outsiders to see.

Take Cheng Yuan as an example, he thinks that he may not be much better than those undergraduate colleagues in software technology, he just went to school a few years more than them and got an extra degree.

Strictly speaking, those people's skills are still good. The reason why it is not easy to find a job is actually a matter of supply and demand.

China’s programmers are now just like China’s steel industry. Ordinary programmers are overstaffed, but high-end programmers are extremely rare. Many places are not even as good as India, but there are probably too many reasons for this phenomenon. , It will involve many factors such as social system, educational environment, industrial adjustment, etc. Before the ability to change the environment, there is no need to continue to be angry. It is a waste of energy.

Liu Sida, who works as a technical supporter in the Information Consulting Department, also understands these things, so he just asked a few questions and stopped caring. After all, at this time, everyone is facing a catastrophe, so it's good to be able to take care of yourself. .

However, it seemed that he saw that someone was worse than himself, so Liu Sida calmed down a little. He didn't drink wildly as soon as he came up, but had a drink with Cheng Yuan while eating food, although he still couldn't avoid scolding during the banquet. That, but he finally calmed down.

"I should have known that Zhao Sihai was not a thing! It's a shame that I believed him so much back then!" After taking another sip of wine, Liu Sida sighed, "Old Cheng, I hurt you. I shouldn't have pulled you into this company. Otherwise, with your ability, you should have gone to a prestigious university to become an associate professor long ago."

"What's the use of talking about that." Cheng Yuan shook his head and poured him a glass of wine again, "We are still young, so what are we afraid of?"

"Young? Damn, we're almost thirty, okay?" Liu Sida drank a glass with his neck up again, and then said with his tongue out, "If you do what we do, you're already an old man! Damn, think of this time Start all over again, and compete with a bunch of college students born in the [-]s, so I will... Hey! Mom, Zhao Sihai, don't let me see you again, or I'll kill you!"

Speaking of this, Liu Sida suddenly burst into tears: "Do you know, Lao Cheng, do you know why I sold my house to buy company stocks? Isn't it just because I want people to look down on me? When I fell in love with Sun Fang, why later? Break up? Isn't it because her family thinks I'm poor? Isn't it because another person is richer than me? I just don't accept it and want to look like myself, so... who knows, it ended up like this, old Cheng, Do you think I am a failure?"

"You're a big loser!" Cheng Yuan said angrily, "You're such a poor guy and you still say you've failed, are we going to hit a wall? Isn't it just for a woman? Come on, drink!"

As soon as I said this, I heard a sound of exclamation from outside. I turned my head and saw that there were many people around a place outside, pointing and not knowing why.

The always lively Liu Sida rushed out first, but not long after, he came back with a livid face.

"What's the matter?" Cheng Yuan, who just got up and was about to follow the past, asked.

"Yes, yes..." As soon as he said this, he suddenly vomited and vomited.

After finally vomiting, Liu Sida gritted his teeth and said, "It's Xiao Chen from our consulting department, she, she jumped off the building!"

"what?"

"Anyway, you, don't go, it's too miserable, the ground is full of... nightmares!"

After a period of relative silence, the next step was to go back to drink.

In the end, Liu Sida was still very drunk. Although Cheng Yuan also drank a lot, he should have passed out if he was not as drunk as Liu Sida, but it was strange that he was not drunk at all, instead he was very energetic. .But at this time, Cheng Yuan didn't have time to think about it, he just paid the bill, and then helped Liu Sida back to his home, let him wake up and talk about it later.

After taking Liu Sida home, helping him to lie down on his bed, and seeing him start to snore and fall asleep, Cheng Yuan sighed, put down a glass of water on the bedside, and left quietly room.

After coming to the living room, Cheng Yuan sat on the sofa and closed his eyes for a while, then suddenly opened his eyes and muttered to himself: "It can't be like this, it shouldn't be like this! Sure enough, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility , Now I finally understand the meaning of this sentence. Yes, I used to have no choice but to watch all this powerless, but now I have enough strength, so I should do something !"

After finishing speaking, Cheng Yuan turned on the communication function of the bracelet, and said to Vivian and others who appeared in front of him, "Where are you now?"

"Of course it's in the small house you rented." Vivienne replied, "We don't have any identity now, where else can we go?"

"Okay, wait for me, I'll be there right away."

"Is something wrong?"

"I'll talk when I get there."

After finishing speaking, Cheng Yuan looked back and forth subconsciously, and then he went out of the room, then climbed up to the roof, commanded with his mind, and let the No. [-] multi-purpose transporter, which was floating stealthily above him at any time, fly down, and then, He quickly climbed in, and with a whoosh, he flew towards Cheng Yuan's newly rented house for Vivian and others.
