Reaching the age of thirty, my income randomly doubled - Chapter 1045: 781: Confusion and Trouble

Chapter 1045: Chapter 781: Confusion and Trouble

The next day, Chen Lu took a day off work at the company.

This time he wanted to take the initiative to talk to his father. For someone like him, a second-generation, what is the true meaning of life?

He was actually quite confused, just watching the people around him constantly busy.

You say they work hard, but it’s just for a bit of loose change.

A bit of money, endlessly squeezing their living space, and like the hand of God, continuously urging them forward.

It seemed that stopping for just a moment would greatly impact not only their life but also their family.

Because if you don’t work hard, others will go mad trying.

This is an era of frenzied competition after the bonus period has completely ended.

It’s also an era where stopping is simply impossible.

Chen Lu didn’t want this, but he also wanted to find his own life’s meaning.

So he wanted to talk to his father. Perhaps only his father could resolve his current confusion.

Chen Pingsheng was as usual, taking Little Ji Ye out for some Tai Chi in the morning.

In the evening, he would tell him bedtime stories, stories that contained life lessons and simple philosophy.

He was paving the way for Little Ji Ye’s development in advance.

By the time Chen Lu went to find him, it was nearly noon, and the father and son went to eat at a barbecue restaurant.

“Dad… I want to work in the HR department?”

“Why?”

“Because I feel like it might suit me better over there.”

“And what if it doesn’t fit again?”

“Then I can just switch again!”

Alright… he indeed had this condition and qualification, but Chen Pingsheng still proactively asked, “Tell me the reason you want to change jobs!”

“I went to see my college roommates yesterday, they are so lost and helpless in job searching every day. If I could move to the HR department, couldn’t I better help people like them?”

“That’s not the primary reason you want to change departments.”

Chen Pingsheng said: “With the development of the times up till today, social class has become somewhat solidified. From the Reform and Opening-up in the 80s, as long as you went to college, you were bound to succeed. Then in the 90s, with the Southern Tour Speech, it was everyone for themselves showcasing their talents. Those with a bit of skill quickly rose in that wild era.

“In the millennium, most urban residents caught the real estate bonus, making countless city dwellers rich overnight through demolitions. With the internet era, middlemen were eliminated making information completely transparent, making it no longer suitable for small-scale entrepreneurship.

“Then came the short video influencer era, many young people rose with the tide, but disappeared just as quickly. Any platform bonus lasts only two to three short years.

“From the Reform and Opening-up till now, it’s been almost sixty years. After twenty years, the nation has been calling for industrial upgrading and supporting the technology industry strongly.

“Development has resulted in the big becoming bigger, the small becoming smaller, and the middle being eliminated.”

Chen Pingsheng had yet to mention another point, the invisible plutocratic system had almost formed.

Or rather, it had already formed.

His Tengying Group counted as a plutocracy, the former ruler of internet traffic, the Big Penguin, also counted as a plutocracy, and later the rising Byte Group also counted as a plutocracy.

With financial strength, material resources, and capabilities reaching their level, it is beyond ordinary people’s imagination and not something small enterprises can even try to surpass.

In other words, the nation’s bonus has completely disappeared at this point.

The best outcome for ordinary people is no longer entrepreneurship, but working for companies like theirs.

Chen Lu’s attempt to help ordinary people by switching to the HR department could only be described as overly naive.

Big enterprises have the pressures and responsibilities of big enterprises.

And this kind of responsibility is something Chen Lu cannot currently bear.

Especially companies as large as theirs, appearing vast but still under the control of red-letter documents in many respects.

If not for that, and without exaggeration, ordinary people would have even less space.

Relying solely on education is no longer enough to change fate, you also need to match your parents’ background and resources.

Regardless, Chen Lu is willing to try more, and Chen Pingsheng still supports him.

His son is only in his early twenties, growing up in luxury, living a carefree life, shaping his current calm demeanor.

Many times, saying more doesn’t compare to him taking actual steps.

Chen Lu quickly changed jobs, leaving Tengfei AI and transferred to a small company under the group.

Still following his own idea, he became an HR there.

Chen Lu also got a few positions from his father, bringing Zhao Kai in with a decent salary standard.

Tengfei AI is a tech giant and doesn’t need an overtime culture.

The people there work and leave on time.

All efforts need only be within the eight hours of work.

Work is just part of life, not suitable to become all of it.

In small businesses, it’s different. To complete tasks, working overtime is often required.

Chen Lu went there and quickly adapted.

His first task was an HR assessment for July’s university graduates.

Many were like Zhao Kai, practicing in advance to secure a decent position in such a small company.

The workplace culture often grows problems wherever there is power.

Chen Lu, who was parachuted in, recruited three newcomers on his first day.
