Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 27: I'll give a million to anyone who betrays me!

As a professional host.

Chen Siyu quickly calmed herself down.

She expressed a different opinion once again.

“Zhou Yang, I still think you’re too extreme, or all young people are extreme. And my question is why young people want to give up, which has nothing to do with whether young people are under a lot of pressure. After all, who isn’t under pressure?”

“Every generation has its own pressures.”

"Just like our generation, we also have our own pressures. Why are you less resilient to pressure than we were?"

Ultimately, it's because the younger generation is not as good as the older generation.

Hearing Chen Siyu say that.

Zhou Yang gave a wry smile.

She explained, "That's because times have changed, elder sister."

"Your generation was fortunate to have witnessed China's period of great development, during which GDP increased several times over and China's ranking soared from over tenth in the world to second."

"My salary has increased several times over the past ten years."

"At that time, housing prices were also at a low point, and were relatively reasonable compared to wages."

"Moreover, the economic growth rate is higher than the loan interest rate, and the longer the period, the less pressure there will be."

"But now, the economic growth rate has slowed down."

“Tens of millions of college students graduate every year, and many of them become unemployed before they even graduate.”

“Basic wages have hardly increased in recent years, but housing prices have increased several times over.”

"Earning a salary of a few thousand yuan, but having to support a house costing tens of thousands of yuan."

"Can that generation handle it?"

"Times have changed, elder sister!"

A single sentence: Times have changed.

This instantly broke the defenses of millions of young people in the live stream.

"Zhou Yang said that so damn well!"

"Times have really changed. My dad used to pay off his mortgage in a few years after buying a house. Now, I estimate I'll have to pay it off for most of my life."

"Sigh, that's just how my dad is. He scolds me for being bad and always brags about how great he was back in the day, how he was independent from a young age and bought his own house. But he doesn't realize that times have changed."

"How many people can afford to buy a house without their parents' money these days? At least among the young people in our live stream, there aren't many!"

"This is an era where family connections matter. It's too difficult to rely on yourself. Don't try to argue with me using survivor bias. Not everyone is a chosen one."

"If you give me tens of thousands of yuan a month, I'll work myself to death! Otherwise, why would I risk my life?"

"So why am I lying down? It's because this society is fucking awful!"

"..."

The young people started talking non-stop.

They were venting their dissatisfaction.

They have been oppressed too much by this society.

Despite having tried so hard, I still get scolded like a dog by those middle-aged people who have benefited from the times and have oily faces.

Zhou Yang paused.

Looking at Chen Siyu, he continued.

"I can give you an example."

"A young man studied hard for more than ten years, graduated from university at the age of 22, then sent out a lot of resumes, interviewed with countless fraudulent companies, exhausted all his energy, and finally found a job at a slightly more reliable company."

"This job doesn't even have a two-day weekend, it's just one day off a month, with a maximum of four days off. And since I can't afford to rent a place in the city center, I can only rent in the suburbs, and the commute takes more than an hour."

"So I have to get up at 6 a.m. every day, arrive at the company at 8 a.m., and when I'm still in a daze, I'm dragged to the morning meeting to listen to the leaders give employees encouragement, make empty promises, and spout motivational platitudes."

"What?! Our team is the best!"

"I give a million to anyone who betrays me, and those who will be loyal to me in the future will be worth hundreds of millions."

"Understand the applause!"

"The company is mine now, but in the future, it will ultimately belong to you!"

"Don't be discouraged by a low salary right now. Work hard and take the company public, and I'll give you shares directly!"

"They're giving me a million dollars to everyone who betrayed me, and shares in the company after it goes public." "This pie is too big for my britches!"

"The company's future belongs to us, so why don't you give us a raise? Why do you always say that young people should endure hardship first and not always think about money when it comes to raising salaries?"

"Talk about money when you're trying to win people's hearts."

"Talk about the future when you're talking about money."

Isn't that ridiculous?

Speaking of it.

Zhou Yang couldn't help but laugh out loud at the shamelessness of these bosses.

"So what I want to say is..."

"Don't just criticize today's young people for being complacent and unwilling to endure hardship."

“Look for yourselves at how the companies and bosses around you treat young people.”

"Every era has lazy people, but there are also diligent and hardworking people, especially our Chinese nation, which has been hardworking and resilient since ancient times."

"This spirit has lasted for thousands of years."

"So it's because the young person suddenly had a genetic mutation? Of course not."

"Young people are still full of high morale."

"It's just that the workplace and society have worn down their sharpness."

"If you keep seeing empty promises, even a fool would realize it."

"Is it possible to make a horse run without feeding it grass?"

"How do we prevent young people from giving up and reignite their fighting spirit?"

"That's simple."

"That means real estate developers should lower housing prices, or company bosses should raise wages."

Is this question difficult?

"Of course it's not difficult!"

"Anyone who can be a boss is a shrewd person, so you understand where the problem lies and you know the answer."

"But you'll pretend you don't know!"

"Because raising wages costs money, and it's your money. Every dollar raised means a dollar less for you, it hurts too much."

"So you always use low wages to recruit young people, and when one group of people doesn't want to do it anymore, you immediately replace them with the next group, since China doesn't lack people anyway."

"Man-mining is a consumable resource; you can have as much as you need."

"But who would have thought that this generation of young people has become so shrewd that they have collectively learned to give up. When they see a company that makes empty promises, young people either quit or slack off."

"You're panicking, but a pay raise is out of the question; it's too painful to do so."

"So you vested interests have started to band together to criticize young people."

"From a moral high ground, we criticize this generation of young people for being immature, unable to withstand pressure, and lacking a sense of responsibility."

"that's it."

"Young people cannot refute this, because they have no voice and no means to resist."

"So it's a group of middle-aged men in their thirties and forties."

"Embracing a delicate and beautiful young woman who has just graduated."

"Criticizing young people for not working hard enough."

"After all, if young people don't work hard to earn money for themselves, where will they get the money to live a life of debauchery and keep mistresses?"

"They're all old foxes who've been around for a thousand years."

"Who are you playing the ghost story with?"

"So tell me!"

"How can young people not give up!"

Zhou Yang's questioning.

This left Chen Siyu completely stunned.

Zhou Yang's words were really awful!
In her opinion, some of them were even of low quality.
