"Then what……"
Zhuang Wenxing asked softly, his voice trembling, "Why do they hate us so much?"
Zhou Sheng slowly shook his head: "Actually, at the beginning of the reform, the relationship between natural persons and public employees was not as rigid as it is now."
"Especially with the promotion in the parliament, many individuals have great goodwill toward well-educated public servants."
"But this situation changes once a natural person starts working."
"Under the education provided by social care centers, the average ability of public servants is slightly higher than that of natural persons, and thus..."
"Publicly funded workers have rapidly taken over the jobs of a large number of natural persons."
"The wave of unemployment has changed many individuals' views on public servants."
Zhuang Wenxing suddenly realized.
“But this is just the beginning,” Zhou Sheng continued.
"Publicly funded personnel are still relatively new, so almost all the work is done by grassroots employees."
"In the early stages, the management team consisted primarily of individuals."
“It’s perfectly normal for people living in City 3 to be related by marriage or other connections.”
"As a result, the flames of hatred gradually spread to the company's management."
"Many management staff have begun to intentionally or unintentionally suppress those employed by the public sector."
Zhou Sheng's words silenced Zhuang Wenxing.
"Is this the reason why the HR departments didn't choose us...?"
He sighed softly and asked in a low voice.
Zhou Sheng withdrew his listless gaze from the window and glanced at Zhuang Wenxing: "No, it's not like that."
"The management's deliberate suppression did not keep the public employees in check for too long."
"After all, the Proxima Centauri human civilization has a complete promotion system, and for people with high enough ability, promotion is not a difficult thing."
"When the first public employee stepped into the company's management, the situation deteriorated again."
"When all individuals realize that their livelihoods will be in jeopardy sooner or later, they choose to band together for mutual support."
"Forming alliances?" Zhuang Wenxing's expression shifted slightly. He had heard this term before. "You mean..."
Zhou Sheng nodded and said with certainty, "They are the companies you interviewed with."
"The development of public sector employment has a relatively short history. Although it has a population advantage, it does not have much advantage in terms of social resources."
"Therefore, when all natural persons band together to form super-large companies, companies built by public servants will have no room to survive."
Fortunately, the Academy of Sciences discovered this in time.
"Councilor Ren Feng and Chief Scientist Zhang Zhengqing promptly introduced a regulation."
“Every unit or company must have a certain number of employees to support.”
At this point, Zhou Sheng shook his head again with a wry smile: "The devil is always one step ahead of the saint."
"After the regulations were introduced, companies that formed groups of individuals relaxed restrictions on their most junior employees, allowing them to apply for the most basic positions. However, if they wanted to be promoted or apply for management positions..."
"Sorry, no way."
"This is what happened to you during the day."
Zhuang Wenxing stared blankly at Zhou Sheng in front of him: "Then, what should I do next?"
Zhou Sheng chuckled: "Choose a company where employees can band together. You can get promoted there, but the company is smaller and you'll be suppressed by larger companies."
Zhuang Wenxing's eyes revealed a deep sense of resentment.
"When can we..."
Zhou Sheng naturally understood Zhuang Wenxing's meaning.
He sighed softly: "Perhaps we'll have to wait until public servants enter the parliament and the academy of sciences."
"However, the situation of forming alliances over there is even more serious than that of individual companies."
"The councilors are powerless to change this situation."
Zhuang Wenxing was silent for a moment, then sighed softly, "Then, let's wait."
...
A few days later.
While Zhuang Wenxing was looking for work, a piece of news came.
In City 5, a public servant clashed with several individuals.
The injured person was seriously injured and sent to the city's central hospital; their fate remains unknown.
Those individuals went so far as to verbally abuse all public employees in the street, claiming that public employees are only fit to do the lowest-level jobs!
The news caused an uproar across Proxima Centauri!
Because the impact was so severe, it even attracted the attention of Councilor Ren Feng.
Several individuals were swiftly arrested and convicted of crimes against humanity, and sentenced to death.
Parliament's swift and decisive actions immediately silenced the clamor within Proxima Centauri society.
However, one can still vaguely sense that the tension between public servants and private individuals has intensified.
...
Lu Yongchang raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at Ren Feng and Zhang Zhengqing in the holographic projection.
"So, what did you do after that?"
"How could this lead to such a serious war?"
By this point in the conversation, he had already figured out why the human civilization on Proxima Centauri had fallen to its current state.
war.
The war between natural persons and public servants!
In Lü Yongchang's view, although the two sides had deep-seated conflicts, it was not enough to warrant a war of this scale.
In fact, with proper guidance, this antagonism could gradually improve over time—provided that there are public servants within both Parliament and the Academy of Sciences to balance the power between the two sides.
Ren Feng sighed deeply.
"I was too hasty."
"That open confrontation served as a wake-up call for me."
"I do not want the human civilization of Proxima Centauri to follow the same path as the Proxima Centauri civilization."
“I wanted to resolve the dispute between public servants and private individuals quickly, so I issued an order.”
"I have issued an order banning natural reproduction."
Ren Feng whispered a shocking piece of news.
Immediately, a look of astonishment flashed across Lü Yongchang's face.
What the heck?!
What happened next?
Lu Yongchang asked in a deep voice, "What about zero? Didn't you conduct any simulations using zero?!"
"later……"
Ren Feng's eyes were filled with pain.
"Initially, this proposal was met with opposition from countless people."
"Our previous success made us complacent. We ignored the objections of others and did not conduct a simulation with zero data, and we forced the proposal forward."
"The proposal was successfully implemented under the supervision of Parliament."
"Natural reproduction is gradually disappearing on Proxima Centauri."
"But what followed was an increasingly serious polarization."
"This time, it's not about companies, businesses, or even within parliaments, but between cities."
"City No. 4 gradually became a gathering place for natural persons."
"Cities number two, three, five... these cities gradually became residences for public servants."
"Because the proposal was successfully implemented, we did not pay attention to this phenomenon."
"After all, we just need to wait for a while until people naturally age, and the conflict between natural people and public servants will naturally disappear."
"but……"
"One day, City Number Three declared independence and declared war on all natural persons."
