Cheng Yize wouldn't blame his parents, but he discovered that the ease he had imagined was not what it seemed.
Of course, the son has an obligation to support his parents, so they felt he was fine.
But he's no longer the same executive he used to be; he's now overwhelmed with work.
The saying "raising children to provide for old age" has been passed down for thousands of years. Cheng Yize considers himself a filial son, but he still cannot provide for his parents' continued luxurious lifestyle while taking good care of himself.
Indeed, he has a duty to support his parents, and the law stipulates that he cannot abandon them. Even if he has such thoughts, his upbringing will not allow him to do so.
But he can't find a job.
Only those who participate in the competition truly know how complex society is these days.
So many people are vying for their careers, yet he has always worked diligently, often staying up until 11:00 or 12:00 every night, and even staying up until the early hours of the morning when there are big projects. What is he doing all this for? Just to keep his job, right?
However, when the real flood came, he was still submerged.
He took his well-prepared resume and applied to many large companies, but didn't receive a single reply.
Later, he started looking into investing in some small companies, as long as they were legitimate companies that paid his social insurance and housing fund contributions.
He hasn't completed his social security contribution period yet, so he won't be able to receive a pension in the future.
If he were to pay his own flexible employment social security contributions, the amount he would have to bear in a first-tier city would be considerable.
But if he doesn't pay, Cheng Yize doesn't believe his children will treat him with the same filial piety he shows to his own parents.
Cheng Yize's parents had no concept of paying into the pension fund. In their rural village, no one would be willing to spend so much money on such a thing. In their eyes, it was all useless.
When they get old, their son will take care of them.
Sometimes Cheng Yize struggles with reason and emotion, and he asks himself, "Am I just born so unlucky?"
Born to a poor couple, he received the best conditions from his family from childhood to adulthood, but even those conditions were not as good as those of the worst classmate in his school days.
Cheng Yize grew up with low self-esteem and vowed to become a superior person, to earn the respect of everyone.
But in reality, everyone is busy with their own lives, and the situations that occur in those "proud protagonist" novels simply won't happen to him.
No matter how capable he is, he's just a high-level white-collar worker, not as good as a rich second-generation born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
Moreover, he also has his parents to rely on.
These parents prevented him from getting married, but they were also holding him back from moving forward.
He invested less than 100,000 yuan in him, but he spent as much as 200,000 yuan on the elderly couple in a year.
He used to earn a million yuan a year, and his parents took care of his children. He was still able to take out this 200,000 yuan and did so willingly.
Now that everything is gone, my parents still don't know when to stop. They insist on organic vegetables, meat, eggs, and dairy products, and extra-large prawns. They also insist on a constant supply of seafood and health supplements.
When Cheng Yize tried to persuade them to cut back on expenses, he was met with a barrage of insults, with accusations that he was unfilial.
Cheng Yize was helpless.
He sometimes resented his parents. They had no money to have children and gave him nothing, yet they relentlessly demanded more from him after he grew up.
His hatred is useless; after all, he was born, and he is afraid of death.
Then you should just work hard to find a job.
He is still young and vigorous, at least that's what Cheng Yize thinks. He believes he has great advantages: work experience, connections, and a sharp mind. In short, his future shouldn't be too bad.
Cheng Yize was quite confident in himself, but in reality, he was overthinking things, and society would slap him hard in the face.
So many people are queuing up to find jobs, especially in first-tier cities. Those large companies are simply overflowing with people. Even people with top-notch degrees have to go through 10 or 20 rounds of interviews to get in. No matter how good they are, how good are they really?
The age of 35 is sometimes taken into consideration by companies.
Cheng Yize was already 35 a few years ago. If he was really that capable, why didn't he turn the tide and revive the company?
Gradually, Cheng Yize was awakened by the slaps he received from society.
He found that he was no longer in demand in the market; he was no longer in demand in the marriage market, and now, the same was true in the job market.
Cheng Yize felt a sense of helplessness that he couldn't quite describe.
With two mouths to feed at home, he now avoids his old colleagues whenever he sees them.
Feeling increasingly heavy-hearted, Cheng Yize tried to find some less-than-perfect companies to use as a temporary measure.
But even companies like this are hard to find.
Cheng Yize was going crazy.
He reduced his parents' living expenses to one-third of what they used to be, but the money was still dwindling.
Just when he was at his wit's end, someone he never expected extended an olive branch to him.
How could Cheng Yize not know that Jiang Tian had acquired his former company?
At that time, he felt envious, jealous, and resentful. What did that woman have that made her so special? She was just a woman, so why did she have such good resources and so much money?
However, when Jiang Tian's assistant called these former key employees of the company to ask if they wanted to go back to work, Cheng Yize readily agreed.
He was truly at his wit's end.
If he can't find a job, a proud person like him might very well take his own life.
Jiang Tian gave him an opportunity, and Cheng Yize suddenly developed a strange fondness for her.
