Chapter 180 The Sky Falls (15) (1st + 2nd) [VIP]
The knocking on the door continued, and Ren Zhiling's cell phone also rang. It was obvious that Ren Zhiling's mother, who was standing at the door, was sure that she was at home.
Barrage:
【Grass, why do you say that it means taking 40 years less detours. 】
[Because generally speaking, security guards are all in their 60s or 70s, so working as a security guard now will lead to the same end as working forty years from now, so you can save yourself the trouble of taking forty years.]
[This job market is pretty clear to you. 】
【Did you see that? Security guard is the answer. 】
【——A warm recommendation from the God of Working. 】
[It is hard to imagine how much martial virtue there would be in a world that needs mages as security guards, and how miserable the owners of the community live every day.]
[I beg you not to mention the fact that Ye Dian is a wizard. Every time I mention it, my inner filter about wizards in the magic world will be shattered a little.]
[Only one point? I thought the filters were all broken when everyone was selling grilled sausages in Yedian. ]
[Sorry, my filter broke after I saw his black nails.]
[It’s so funny. I have now accepted that he is a part-time worker. Mage, what kind of mage?]
On the screen, the exploration team members did not know that all investors' image of Ye Dian had gradually changed from a mage to a working king.
Hearing his affirmation, Ren Zhiling raised her head with shining eyes: "Really?"
"Really," Bai Jinshu nodded, "Of all the jobs I've ever had, security guard is the easiest."
"But there are still some things we need to pay attention to here..." Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ren Zhiling.
"It's not important!" She was in a good mood and waved her hand. "It's decided! I'm going to open the door for my mother. Try not to let her in. You don't have to take anything she says to heart, and you don't have to respond. Just treat her as air. Don't give her any looks or reactions."
Ren Zhiling returned the phone to Ning Xiao and went to open the door in her slippers.
It was her strange instructions that made the exploration team members look a little puzzled.
What does "just treat her as air" mean?
[Ren Zhiling’s growing environment seems...] Lu Changfeng opened the temporary group chat and was hesitant to speak.
[What on earth did you hear before?] Xu Zichen tagged Yin Liantao, [Why did Ren Zhiling's parents suddenly come here in droves?]
Yin Liantao: [I was afraid something might happen to her, so I knocked on the door and called her name. Then I heard her father asking her why there was someone else at home. He said on the phone that he would come over to talk to her this afternoon, and that he didn’t want to see any irrelevant people.]
Ning Xiao: [What then? ]
It seems that if it was just because of such a small matter, Ren Zhiling would not have complained in that tone.
Yin Liantao: [Then her father said that she quit her job to start her own media, and that Uncle Liu saw her selling sausages, which made him embarrassed. He also said that he didn’t care about her previous mischief, but this time she had to go back to the research institute.]
Yin Liantao: [He also said that if he hadn’t pleaded with the director, Ren Zhiling would have been fired long ago.]
AKA-From Afar-Mage: […I was wondering why Ren Zhiling couldn’t quit this job. It turns out this is the reason.]
Yin Liantao said helplessly: [...Brother Ye, your answer is the same as hers.]
Yin Liantao: [But I doubt one thing.]
[His father’s control is so strong… Logically speaking, Ren Zhiling has been admitted to a foreign country and entered another research institute. It is written on her face that she wants to get out of control. Her father should have been unable to bear it a long time ago. Why did he react so strongly this time?] She glanced in the direction of Ren Zhiling, [Could it be that the gene was left by him?]
This inference was very likely, and everyone exchanged glances and nodded.
If Ren Zhiling's genes are the key to Liu Yi's appearance, then the person who left her genes must have an inseparable relationship with Liu Yi.
Fu Yandong's imagination was blown and he guessed: [Could it be that Ren Zhiling was originally a clone? She was created by her father, so what Liu Yi got was not Ren Zhiling's genes, but the original genes.]
Ning Xiao: [Can the clone's words be hidden from her mother? ]
Lu Changfeng: [Didn’t Ren Zhiling say before that her father and mother played the good cop and the bad cop respectively? These two are obviously on the same front.]
That's true. From this perspective, Ren Zhiling's parents are basically equally suspected when her genes were passed down five hundred years later.
Ren Zhiling grew up in a bad environment and it was visibly that she had a bad relationship with her parents. After opening the door of the room, the exploration team members sat on the sofa in the living room and exchanged information about previous events. The mother, who Ren Zhiling called the "good guy", had not yet entered the room.
The two stood at the door of the room. Ren Zhiling firmly blocked the exploration team members behind him, and did not intend to let anyone in. His tone suddenly changed from excitement to calmness: "What are you doing here?"
Everyone's ears pricked up.
"I came to see you." A very soft female voice came from the door.
Different from everyone's imagination of Ren Zhiling's mother, this voice was surprisingly gentle.
If Ren Zhiling had not said before, "One plays the good cop and the other plays the bad cop," probably everyone would have felt somewhat dissatisfied with Ren Zhiling's attitude after hearing this soft voice and her cold tone.
Ning Xiao lowered his voice and said in a whisper: "This is not what I thought."
He thought that Ren Zhiling's mother was an enhanced version of Ren Zhiling. When she spoke, a cold breath came to his face, which reminded people of some cold metal instruments or the smell of disinfectant in the hospital.
It's not his fault. On the rare occasions when Ren Zhiling was visibly in a bad mood, or when she talked about something related to her job, her voice had this quality.
A voice that would immediately make one feel that she was a "calm and indifferent scientist."
However, this voice will soon be diluted by her friendliness and will instead be regarded as a manifestation of her professionalism as a researcher.
She hadn't expected her mother's voice to be so gentle.
Bai Jinshu raised his head and glanced at him, then said softly, "Inherited."
If Ren Zhiling was really born into a family where her father was extremely controlling and her mother was a cold researcher, she would not have been able to grow up with such a friendly personality.
But now considering her mother's character, this is not surprising.
It turns out that the family consists of one good guy and one bad guy.
"Well, now that you've finished looking, take care." Ren Zhiling stood inside the door, completely unaware that the exploration team members behind her had already analyzed her family environment in just a dozen seconds. She crossed her arms across her chest, not showing any intention of welcoming anyone in, and was about to close the door.
"Why are you talking like that?" the soft female voice said sadly. "Lingling, I heard that you were almost attacked when you went abroad for an exchange a few days ago. Are you injured? If I had known that the meeting was so dangerous, I would not have let you go."
"I am not missing any limbs. I will go even if you don't want me to," Ren Zhiling said perfunctorily. "You see, I am intact. Please go back."
"I specially asked for leave," the female voice at the door seemed not to hear the rejection that was about to overflow from Ren Zhiling's words, and continued softly, "Lingling, I remember you have a room here that is specially reserved for your mother. You must be scared abroad. I will stay here with you for a while."
Although her tone was gentle and sounded as if she was coaxing a child, she did not intend to ask for opinions at all. Instead, she made up her mind on her own.
"You are not welcome," Ren Zhiling, who obviously had a lot of experience in dealing with such situations, refused bluntly in a drawn-out tone, "Someone is staying overnight these days, and you have no place to stay."
"Is anyone here?" the female voice asked in surprise, "Lingling, is this your colleague?"
"My friend," Ren Zhiling took a step to the left, blocking her view of the room, "Don't you know that I resigned a long time ago?"
"Lingling, are you still having conflicts with your father?" The female voice exhaled softly, "If you don't do research, what else can you do? You have been a genius in this field since you were a child. You can't do any other job."
"Look, you've been changing jobs these days. You told your colleagues at the institute that you wanted to be a pet blogger, and you were seen setting up a stall in front of the third primary school. This can only mean that you are not suitable for other jobs. You are only suitable for research. Stop making trouble."
As soon as these words came out, the members of the exploration team who were still sitting in the living room clearly felt that Ren Zhiling's aura suddenly "surged" and his tone became much more aggressive: "Don't you know what I've been doing these days?"
"You were influenced by your friends, weren't you?" The woman's voice was still gentle, not sounding angry at all. "Did these shady friends trick you into following them and making you do something stupid?"
The exploration team members who were sitting in the living room without saying anything felt more and more puzzled the more they listened.
Every word Ren Zhiling's mother said sounded like she was on Ren Zhiling's side, but it sounded strange no matter how you listened to it.
There is a very subtle sense of disharmony.
[Isn't that right?] Finally, Xu Zichen took the lead in posting in the temporary group chat, [Ren Zhiling's mother, why is she so sure that she is a scientist?]
The investors on the barrage reacted one after another:
[Fuck, that's right, why does her mother keep saying that Ren Zhiling is suitable for research. ]
[I used to think that maybe it was because the couple both had the same strong desire for control, but now that Brother Xu Pi said this, it really seems wrong, right? ]
[Even if Ren Zhiling came from a scientific research family, why was her mother so sure that she couldn't do any other job? ]
[That gene, the more I look at it, the more I think it must have something to do with her parents.]
[And judging from her mother's tone, she was so certain that it was terrifying. How could she be so sure that Ren Zhiling could only do research? Or had she been so certain since she was a child?]
[Isn't this just like brainwashing? We've been telling you since you were little that you're only suited for research, you can't do anything else, you can only do research, and you can only listen to us...]
[Ren Zhiling's life from childhood to adulthood, before the project started, wasn't it possible that someone had arranged everything for her? 】
[Hiss… Now that you mention it, I feel like the environment she grew up in was pretty horrible…]
At the door of the room, Ren Zhiling gradually lost her patience, and finally crossed her arms over her chest, saying in a cold tone: "No, it's all my own choice. Since you came to see me, now that you've seen it, you can leave."
After saying this, she turned around and closed the door without waiting for the person outside to react, then let out a breath and rolled her eyes as if she was very angry.
"I sent her away. We just need to leave before the afternoon. What... are you doing?" Ren Zhiling adjusted her mood and turned around, only to see a group of people sitting on the sofa, tapping on the smart watches on their wrists.
"Ren Zhiling." Unexpectedly, when he heard her voice, Xu Zichen raised his head seriously and called her name.
"Yes?" Ren Zhiling explained in confusion, "What's wrong? Don't be angry at my mom. When she was little, she thought people with lower scores than me were questionable. When she got older, she thought people with lower academic qualifications than me were questionable. Now she thinks people who don't work in the research institute are questionable. Just ignore what she says."
"No, none of us are angry. We just noticed a problem," Yin Liantao looked up at Xu Zichen and said carefully, "That is... have you ever doubted a problem?"
"What?" Ren Zhiling looked strange.
"Could it be that... Liu Yi is not the first person from the future to come back?"
"You should also be able to sense that your parents' desire for control is abnormal, so why are they so sure that you will be a scientist in the future?" Xu Zichen touched his chin and looked up at Ren Zhiling, "Since you are the key figure in the destruction of the future world, is it possible that before you were born or shortly after you were born, they were revealed by people in the future more than ten years later, and learned about your future achievements."
"So they are so sure that you can only be a scientist and cannot enter other industries?"
Ren Zhiling frowned slightly.
"And your father's desire for control is a bit too specific and biased towards a certain aspect. You said that he thinks everyone should follow the direction he arranges, but he seems to have a strong desire to control only certain specific results. Generally speaking, shouldn't people with strong control desires want to control every aspect of your life? Why is your father's desire for control concretely reflected in which university to take the doctoral exam for, which research group to join, and which project to research?" Fu Yandong clasped his hands together, looking sincere.
"You mean..." Ren Zhiling bit her lower lip slowly, "It's very likely that the reason why it became like this five hundred years later is because these schools and research institutes were the future I should have been heading towards from the beginning. But I had already broken away from these predetermined events when I knew nothing, and led the future towards an uncontrollable direction?"
"Not necessarily, it's just a guess," Xu Zichen spread his hands, "Besides, since people from the future have appeared, the disaster that will occur five hundred years later must have been predetermined before the people from the future appeared. So no matter whether you made these choices before, the fact that the sky fell five hundred years later and the people from the future had no solution and had to travel back five hundred years to try to change the future by influencing the past will not change. Your choice to change will at best be like changing your career this time, changing other events except the disaster."
He paused. "But if possible, to find out why your change caused the butterfly effect, you'd better check whether there were any special events that happened to your parents during the time when you were born. Or try to get some information out of Liu Yi today. But if Liu Yi lives in an information cocoon, he may not know."
"...Okay, let me think about how to check this." Ren Zhiling frowned and thought for a while, then turned around and looked out the door through the peephole. He took a windbreaker from the hanger at the door and put it on. He glanced at the time and said, "I'm going to pack my luggage first, sort out the things I need to take with me, and put them in your hotel room. I won't be back this afternoon."
If her father's desire to control her was really because she had deviated from the future track he knew, then her previous admission to other universities and employment in other research institutes could only be considered minor changes, while directly changing careers and not doing research was a major derailment. No wonder he couldn't accept it.
Ren Zhiling found the dark green suitcase with laser pattern and went to the room to pack her luggage. She had just returned from abroad not long ago, so she packed her luggage very quickly. She had finished packing in less than ten minutes. After making sure that Ren Zhiling's mother had left, the group walked out of the community with the luggage and put Ren Zhiling's suitcase in Yin Liantao's hotel room.
"Although I want to be a security guard, uh..." Sitting in the hotel lounge, Ren Zhiling touched his head and said with a guilty conscience, "But this job seems to be different from selling sausages in self-media. Do I need to apply for it?"
"First of all, shouldn't I... um... find a place that recruits security guards? Can I use a job search software? Are there any requirements?" She cast a curious look at Ye Dian.
As expected, Ye Dian said skillfully: "It depends on what kind of position you want to find. There are many types of security guards."
"Generally speaking, most people's ideal security guard is actually one who earns a lot of money and has little work to do. He works in office buildings and works in three or two shifts," he said, watching Ren Zhiling nod vigorously. "This type of security guard usually works in a monitoring room with air conditioning. There are very few things to deal with. Normally, they only need to watch the surveillance and check the company's door locks after get off work. They have all five insurances and one housing fund, and their salary is basically not lower than the local normal level. It is everyone's dream job."
Seeing Ren Zhiling nodding rapidly, Bai Jinshu took a deep breath and said mercilessly, "So don't even think about this kind of job with such good conditions. This kind of job will not appear on the recruitment software. If you don't have connections, you won't know that this kind of job is recruiting people."
"Moreover, this type of position belongs to the fire control position, which requires identity verification. You are too late and don't have time."
Ren Zhiling: "...Okay, then are there other types? Common ones that are easier to find?"
"The most common one is parking lot security," Bai Jinshu raised his chin and motioned everyone to look at the parking pole at the hotel entrance. "The advantage of this type of job is that it is easy to find. Generally speaking, they work in two shifts. The salary is not too high but not too low either. It depends mainly on the location of the parking lot. The more prosperous the parking lot, the higher the salary of the security guard."
"The downside is that there is no air conditioning, and the office is so small that it is not convenient to go on break because you have to raise the barrier to charge vehicles entering and leaving at all times."
Ren Zhiling's eyes seemed to be moved: "That's fine, I can just choose a more remote parking lot, and try working for a day today."
"Oh, this type of security guard needs to be able to drive or be proficient in reversing skills," Bai Jinshu Wuqing added, "Because in some cases, parking lot security guards need to direct the reversing of vehicles passing by. If they can't drive, they can't direct the drivers. Some security guards are required to drive themselves to facilitate the reversing of the car owners."
"If you don't have an ID card and you take the driver's license test, you can't get a job."
"Forget it then." The light in Ren Zhiling's eyes disappeared instantly. "I can't drive. I haven't even learned how to drive yet."
"The most popular positions are warehouse security guards," Bai Jinshu touched his chin and took a look at Ren Zhiling's physique. "But apart from some remote warehouse managers, most warehouse managers sometimes need to help unload goods and count the goods, which is not easy and requires physical strength."
"That's not possible for me," Ren Zhiling was very clear about her position. "I can't lift anything with my shoulders or hands. I died on the playground after running 800 meters in college. I'm a typical sports waste. My physical fitness is not even a quarter of that of a goose."
Exploration team members: ...
Ren Zhiling’s description of herself is quite vivid.
"Boss Ye," Ren Zhiling touched the tip of his nose after finding that he was not competent for several jobs in a row, and asked proactively, "What about the community security guards? I feel that there are the most community security guards."
"Community security guards? There are two types," Bai Jinshu glanced at her and said, "One is the guards who stand guard. Generally, they are only provided in middle- and high-end residential areas. The salary is very high, and there is no problem with the five social insurances and one housing fund. They need to stand outside the community in uniform and basically work in three shifts. They stand guard at work, and they have to stand for one hour and rest for ten minutes. Your physical fitness will definitely be ruined."
"Besides being tired, this type of security guard has height requirements, and some positions also have gender requirements."
He glanced over Ren Zhiling's head and said sympathetically, "And generally speaking, the height requirement for this type of position is over 1.8 meters. Sometimes the requirement is relaxed to 1.75 meters. You also need to have a good appearance and temperament, and the police station needs to use your ID card to prove that you have no criminal record."
Ren Zhiling, who is 1.6 meters tall, said: I feel like I am being attacked.
"That's fine." She looked at Ye Dian expectantly, "What about the other one, Boss Ye?"
"There is another type? It's also a monitoring room, but the conditions are worse than those in an office building," Bai Jinshu tapped the table. "This type requires patrols, cleaning the community every morning and evening, etc."
Ren Zhiling: "Hey, this is good!"
Bai Jinshu frowned and said critically, "But generally speaking, this kind of position doesn't recruit people, and you need an ID card to take up the position."
"Um..." Ren Zhiling raised her hand, "Boss Ye, I have a question."
"Speak." Bai Jinshu said briefly.
"That's right..." Ren Zhiling was very puzzled, "Why do you, Boss Ye, always emphasize that you need an ID card to work?"
"This thing..." She sounded confused, "Doesn't everyone have it?"
In modern society, who doesn’t have an ID card?
Good question.
The hotel lounge fell into an eerie silence for a moment.
After a long while, Ye Dian's voice sounded faintly, full of resentment: "Because I don't have it."
"I am an illegal resident," he said.
The author has something to say:
《Surprise! He became a demon king in the magic world, but when he entered the modern society, he couldn't find a regular job because he didn't have an ID card.》
Ye Mowang: Otherwise why do you think I changed my career so quickly? (Smoke)
By the way, the parking lot security guard is no longer applicable now, because the job of parking lot security has been much easier in recent years than in previous years. The popularity of QR code scanning for charging and various WeChat applets has led to the fact that basically all parking lots equipped with intelligent charging systems can have car owners complete entry, gate opening and exit payment by themselves, which optimizes the opening and closing of parking gates and charging links in the security work process.
So now most of the parking lots that use smart payment have also optimized the security guards (what a hell of a joke) (start banging the wooden fish)
