Wei Mingzhe had spoken to Chen Ya in a nonchalant manner before, but now that he was really facing unemployment, he still felt a little regretful.

After all, he had worked in that company for eight years and did not have much work experience outside of that company. He was a little at a loss when he was suddenly thrown into the vast crowd.

Seeing the CTO calling him, he still had some glimmer of hope in his heart - if the other party was here to win him back, was there any possibility that he could return to the company and get a promotion and a raise?

With this somewhat unrealistic idea in mind, he answered the phone, and a cold, stiff voice came from the other end:

"Hey? Wei Mingzhe, are you really just going to walk away like this?"

Hearing this, Wei Mingzhe's mood plummeted: "What's wrong?"

"I heard you were getting married soon, right?" the voice on the other end of the line said. "How dare you quit your job at this critical moment?"

Wei Mingzhe said angrily, "Don't bother with that. I'll figure it out myself."

"From what you said, you have found your next employer?" The CTO's tone was a little sarcastic.

Wei Mingzhe was actually a little off: "No."

"If there's nothing, you're still talking about finding a solution. What solution do you have?" The CTO even sounded a bit gloating. "Forget it, how about this? The company won't cut your salary. You'll still receive your original salary. You can come back to work and we'll forgive you for what happened before. What do you say?"

Wei Mingzhe was furious, but he managed to maintain his composure and said in a restrained manner:

"I think I'd rather not. Thanks for the company's concern. I can find a new job on my own."

"Haha, what kind of job can you find?" the CTO on the other side said rudely, "You are the worst in our company. I have talked to some of our competitors, and with your level, 80% of the companies in the industry won't hire you."

Wei Mingzhe said in a weaker voice, "Things will work out in the end. I think I should be able to find a job I like."

The CTO completely cooled down and said, "Are you really that confident?"

"It's not a question of self-confidence or not, it's mainly..."

"Well, then, don't say the company didn't give you a chance," the CTO interrupted him, clearly not wanting to know what Wei Mingzhe was thinking. "When you want to come back, things might not be the same as they are now. I'm giving you a heads up."

After hanging up the phone, Wei Mingzhe was in a daze for a long time.

"Fuck! All I did was ridicule me and listen to a bunch of bullshit!"

He slapped the stone table and felt his hands go numb.

The young mother with her child nearby hurriedly moved away with her child, as if avoiding the plague god, with a hint of fear in her eyes.

Wei Mingzhe smiled bitterly.

Yes, in today's world, people without jobs, like homeless people and the mentally ill, are all monsters in the eyes of "normal people".

From ancient times to the present, people without assets have been looked down upon, and in this era the contempt is doubled.

The ancients said that those who have constant property have perseverance. Nowadays, people are eager to write "Those who have no constant property have no perseverance, no willpower, and no personal dignity and moral standards" on big-character posters and hang them in the streets.

Thinking that he still had to explain his unemployment to Chen Chi, his mood became even heavier, and he suddenly felt that life was very tiring for men.

His father used to always tell him how he chased his mother when he only had a salary of 250 yuan. He didn't think much of it when he was a child, but now he seemed to see that his seemingly ordinary father also had a heavy burden on his shoulders.

He called his father.

After the call was connected, a slightly vicissitudes of life voice sounded on the other end of the phone:

"Son, why did you think of calling Dad? Isn't it still working hours now?"

Wei Mingzhe slapped his head and then remembered that he had done something wrong again and shouldn't have called the old man.

If they knew that he was unemployed, they would be extremely anxious, and their anxiety would be useless.

He could only fake a smile and say, "Why, I can't call you because I'm at work?"

"Don't be so poor here. Go to work hard and make money to support the family. Chen Chi is a good girl. You have to let her live a good life, understand?"

Wei Mingzhe smiled miserably: "Of course I know that."

"That's good to know," the old man said. Then he thought of something and said, "Are you out of money again?"

"You'll always be broke, but that won't solve the problem," Wei Mingzhe said. "Don't overthink it. I just called to chat."

The old man laughed over there: "Is it because the wedding date is approaching, and you feel a little nervous?"

"Of course. After all, I've never been married before."

"Hey, don't worry, it's the same for everyone," the old man said, lighting a cigarette with a smile. "You just need to stand there and send someone out. You don't have to do anything else."

"That was when you got married, wasn't it?"

"Yes, I was confused when I got married. I didn't understand anything. Your mother's family thought I was a stupid son-in-law."

"Hahaha……"

After talking with his father for a while, Wei Mingzhe felt much better.

The disgusting feeling brought by the company's annoying CTO just now has also dissipated a lot.

He suddenly thought of something and asked, "Um, Dad, how did you and my mom manage to raise me to this age when we were young?"

"What kind of stupid question is that?"

"Given my family's financial situation, I think this is nothing short of a miracle," Wei Mingzhe said. "I'm not even married yet, and I feel quite overwhelmed. In the future, there's pregnancy, childbirth, formula, education... It's like a mountain of difficulties, so I feel a little sad."
