Everyone.
They are all unwilling to be mediocre.
Especially young people, always full of vigor and dreams.
Whether it is boys like Kikukawa Shinno and Omura Jiichi, or girls like Igarashi Koori, Hattori Kyoko, Kai Reno, Soma Maya, Kurata Kiri, and Kawahara Koi.
When they graduated from college, they all entered the workplace with beautiful expectations for the future.
At that time, they were full of energy and enthusiasm. They always felt that as long as they worked hard, their talents would be brought into play, they would be valued by their superiors, and they would be promoted and get a raise.
But as time went on, they found that this social effort was completely useless.
No matter how hard they work, the credit goes to their predecessors and superiors. What does it have to do with ordinary people like them?
Very tiring! Very tiring! But the most despairing thing is that no matter how hard you try, you won’t get any attention!
Is he the legitimate son of a big family?
no?
Well, I'm sorry, this time it was Sato who got promoted, and next time it will be Nakamura who got a raise, and it has nothing to do with people like them who come from small families.
Is it a famous school?
no?
I watched my fellow Keio students get promoted and get salary increases, but I never got one.
effort?
There is no point in trying.
What my boss likes to say most is that for newcomers like you, don’t you know how to learn from your predecessors?
But when you work hard for your seniors, you will only hear the most hateful insults - idiot, you can't even do such a simple thing, are you a good-for-nothing!
However, even if I was scolded or no matter how angry I was, I would never dare to think about taking leave or doing something as luxurious as resigning. Even getting sick was a terrible nightmare.
Speaking of working in a large company, my colleagues' activities after work are either going to the disco in Roppongi to dance, or going to the hostess bar in Ginza to drink.
All they ordered were Louis XIII and Macallan whiskeys... until they were drunk.
Weekend activities range from golfing to skiing, and a round of golf or a night at a hostess bar in Ginza can easily cost thousands of dollars.
Everyone was wearing John Robb shoes and Anima clothes, and even the cleaning lady was wearing jewelry from Van Cleef & Arpels or Patek Philippe.
This is just the most common phenomenon. Faced with the envy and expectations of relatives and friends, it seems that everyone feels that they can make a fortune working in a large company.
But as newcomers, their monthly salary is only around 300,000 yuan. The only thing they can do is to rent the cheapest house, max out their credit cards, or even use consumer finance loans to maintain a decent life.
Get ill?
Resign?
Ask for leave?
Falling in love? I dare not think about these.
Every month when it’s time to pay the mortgage, the dense pile of bills is enough to make people despair.
If you want to pay off the loan, the only thing you can do is to be more cautious to avoid offending your seniors and getting into trouble.
Gradually.
They have no enthusiasm for anything.
I work hard every day, but in fact I am just wasting my time.
But——am I really a waste?
As Nagano Nao yelled loudly, the two boys' faces turned red and white, and the blue veins on their foreheads wriggled like earthworms.
If society didn't give me a chance, why would I want to be a useless person like this? Among the girls, Hattori Kyoko and Kurata Himiri were already crying with their hands covering their mouths.
yes!
Who in this world understands my hardship? Every time, my friends and relatives would only flatter me or lend me money. If I don’t lend them money, they would always say that I work in a big company and become selfish when I have the ability.
But who knows how much humiliation he has to endure for a salary of three hundred thousand a month.
She was scolded by her seniors, complained by clients, bullied by male colleagues, and had all kinds of work assigned to her.
Who gives girls a chance in such a society ?
The only sounds in the office were sobbing and wailing.
It happened that the president Ida Yoko and the head of the headquarters, Oda Kishimoto, passed by and heard Nagano Nao's roar just now. They frowned slightly when they saw this scene.
"Sir, this boy is really going too far! How can he say such words that hurt people's self-esteem!" Oda Kishino understood his intention and said tentatively.
Jingtian Heng said calmly: "Let's see what he wants to do first!"
“.”
Because of the angle.
Nagano Nao did not notice the two people standing not far away outside.
He looked at the two girls who were already crying, and then at the girls with red eyes. Instead of sympathizing with them, this guy shook his head secretly.
What does this little bit of insult mean?
In the past, my bosses always cursed people, using words like "pig" and "idiot" every day.
What’s even more infuriating is that they love to impose fines. It’s only 5,000 yuan a month, but when you’re unlucky, they dare to fine you up to 3,000 yuan.
If that were the case, that would be fine.
If you want to complain, there will always be idiots who will say - if you have the ability, don't do it, no one is forcing you to do it.
We are all workers—why are there so many spiritual capitalists?
With such emotion, Nagano Nao said in a low voice: "As young people, are you satisfied with your current life?"
“.”
No one answered.
Isn't this nonsense? If you are satisfied, who would cry?
Nagano Nao was obviously dissatisfied and shouted, "Answer me."
“Not satisfied.”
"Are you willing to accept this? Are you willing to be taught a lesson like a dog by your seniors? Are you willing to not be promoted no matter how hard you work? Are you willing to accept this?"
“Not willing to accept that.”
"Louder."
“I’m not willing to accept this!”
This time, the eight people raised their heads and shouted with resentment in their eyes.
When Nagano saw that it worked, he immediately yelled, "I'm not willing to accept this. What did I see? They look like they are working hard, but they are all listless and useless people who have no ambition to make progress."
"Why can't you muster up the courage to fight again?"
"No chance? I am just an intern, a young man, so why can I be promoted? Just because I come from Keio? That's not the case."
"Because I believe that this world is made of gold and will always shine, and I believe that as long as you work hard, you will be rewarded."
"Come to think of it, I was once a bastard."
"Is it useful to work hard? It's useless. The eldest son is born to inherit the family property. I don't even have a share of the ashes on the stove."
"But I have to work hard, because I know that since my background is not as good as others, I need to work harder than others to have a chance, instead of just not working hard if it's useless anyway!"
It turns out that adults have such a background!
Bastards often have very low status. The saying that all the dust on the stove comes from the eldest son is enough to show how high the eldest brother's status is. In an ordinary family, if the eldest son eats a fish, even if there is still a tail and the bastard wants to eat it, the eldest son has the right to feed the fish tail to the dog.
Then isn't our starting point much higher than that of adults?
“.”
"God rewards hard work, and hard work will eventually pay off. With the accumulation of little by little, I was admitted to Keio University, but I did not slack off and studied politics and philosophy hard."
“.”
"The adults were able to choose me from among thousands of Keio students because of my hard work."
“The status of our predecessors is also due to their past efforts.”
"And you?"
"Are you going to admit that you are a waste just because of a little setback? Answer me, are you a waste?"
After saying this, Nagano Nao was moved by his own efforts.
The young man, who didn't have any self-esteem, was provoked by him and his face turned red, full of resentment. The eight people present almost shouted at the same time: "No!"
"So what are you waiting for? Please show a hundred times more courage and ambition."
"When you slack off, think about next month's bills. If you don't get a promotion or a raise, you'll have to pay off your loans until you're 30 or 40."
“When you want to pretend to be hardworking, ask yourself if you want to be a useless person until you are 40 years old.”
"I don't care about other classes, but from today on, our class has only one goal, and that is - to make money."
"So what should our slogan be from today on?"
"effort!"
After receiving this loud answer, Nagano Nao immediately waved his arms excitedly: "From today on, fight to become the strongest fierce dragon on earth.
Slogan, Come on, come on, come on!! "
“Come on, come on, come on.”
“Work hard, work hard, work hard.”
“Work hard, work hard, work hard.”
"Make money, make money, make money."
"Make money, make money, make money!"
“.”
The young man with a red face screamed desperately.
Looking at all this, Nagano Nao secretly said - from today on, let's make the classroom the best! (End of this chapter)
