Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 658 He's just a dog!

Most of the audience members were not familiar with the movie plot; their purpose was simply to see Zhou Yang and the son he played in the film.

At the very beginning of the film, Zhou Yang appears on the screen in a suit, looking dignified and imposing, giving the impression of a domineering CEO.

Zhou Yang plays a character named Zhou Bancheng, who carries a device with him wherever he goes, and his suit attire is precisely for the purpose of better promoting this device.

Although Zhou Bancheng's life in the drama is quite impoverished, his handsome appearance is still hard to ignore.

"My God! If good looks could bring wealth, Zhou Bancheng wouldn't be in such a sorry state!"

"Brother Yang looks really handsome in a suit, but his disheveled appearance is also heartbreaking!"

"Am I the only one curious about what this instrument is used for?"

"I've never heard of anyone selling this kind of equipment, but Zhou Yang is really handsome!"

"Brother Yang is indeed handsome, but I'm more interested in how his son is doing!"

"..."

The theater was filled with whispers, but the movie on the screen continued, and the audience's eyes were focused on the images.

The video mentions that the device is called a bone scanner, and Zhou Bancheng must sell two units every month in order to cover the rent and his son's kindergarten fees.

Unfortunately, he hasn't sold a single one in a long time!

Zhou Bancheng used all his savings to obtain the regional agency qualification for this instrument, but found that the market response was lukewarm, which made him feel frustrated, but he still had to work hard to make a living.

On this day, as usual, while he was promoting his equipment, he happened to meet a gentleman in a suit and driving a luxury car, who looked very glamorous.

Instead of wallowing in self-pity, he took the initiative to ask the man about his profession, and the man kindly told him that he was a stockbroker.

The audience was surprised when they first heard about this profession, as they felt it was too high-end and far removed from the work they usually encountered.

Zhou Bancheng couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, sharing the same thought as the audience: such a prestigious profession must require a high level of education.

But to his surprise, the man told him that there were no educational restrictions.

This scene gave Zhou Bancheng a glimmer of hope. After a night of contemplation, he decided to try his hand at being a stockbroker.

However, his wife did not support the decision. The pressures of life were already overwhelming her; four consecutive months of working two jobs were still not enough to pay the two months' rent arrears.

Viewers felt heartbroken, as if they were witnessing the desperate struggles of people at the bottom of society just to survive.

Zhou Bancheng and his wife did nothing wrong; they just wanted to live a better life, but they never expected that surviving in this society would be so difficult.

Nevertheless, he wanted to try again. During the interview, Zhou Bancheng accidentally lost his equipment, which was undoubtedly adding insult to injury. His wife left him, taking their son with her.

At this moment, Zhou Bancheng felt helpless, as if no one could support him anymore.

A month passed, and he still hadn't heard back from his application. When he finally found the HR manager, the manager was on her way elsewhere.

He had to lie and say he was going there too. On the way, Zhou Bancheng tried to persuade the HR manager, but the manager was engrossed in a Rubik's Cube that few people knew how to solve at the time.

Zhou Bancheng saw an opportunity, so he solved the Rubik's Cube, which left a deep impression on the HR manager and earned him an interview opportunity.

The HR manager hurriedly got out of the car to go to work, while Zhou Bancheng, penniless, had no choice but to escape when the driver wasn't looking.

He kept apologizing as he fled, a scene that touched the hearts of the audience, reminding them that life often deals heavy blows to those who strive.

In the blink of an eye, this incident led to his detention. The day he was released from prison happened to be his job interview day, but Zhou Bancheng was in a sorry state, his clothes covered in paint.

The HR manager was disappointed to see him dressed like this. Since the interviewer was one of the company's investors, Zhou Bancheng had no choice but to admit, "I've been trying to come up with an excuse for why I'm dressed like this, but I've decided to tell the truth!"

The interviewer calmly asked, "If someone came to an interview without even wearing a shirt, how would you feel? And if I actually decided to hire him, what would you think?"

Without hesitation, Zhou Bancheng replied immediately, "Then he must be wearing a very sophisticated pair of trousers!"

The interviewer smiled, impressed by Zhou Bancheng's intelligence.

However, do you think he can get a good job?

That's not actually the case. The interview is just the first step. The next six months are unpaid internships, and only one out of 20 people will be selected to become a stockbroker.

The competition was fierce, but Zhou Bancheng still decided to give it a try.

This made viewers very concerned, as it was truly difficult to endure such a life.

Fortunately, his wife returned and took their son with her.

Zhou Bancheng took his son to a cheaper motel.

The arrival of his son brought hope to Zhou Bancheng's life!
Every Saturday, Zhou Bancheng would take his son to play basketball.

Zhou Haolin, playing basketball, excitedly exclaimed, "Hey! Dad! I want to become a professional basketball player!"

Zhou Bancheng shot the ball into the basket without hesitation.

"Oh, that's not easy... Your skill level is about the same as mine before, you don't seem to have any talent in this area!"

Zhou Bancheng meant that perhaps other interests should be considered.

However, the son was clearly disappointed, stopped playing ball, and remained silent.

Zhou Bancheng realized what he had said. Seeing his son's expression, he wanted to slap himself. Why did he say such a thing!
Filled with regret, Zhou Bancheng looked at his son who was tidying up the basketball and said earnestly, "Listen, don't let anyone tell you that you can't succeed! Even I might not be able to do it, understand?"

Looking at Zhou Bancheng, I think my son truly understood.

"Understood!"

This scene deeply moved the audience, who reflected on how their parents often judged the accuracy of their children's statements based on subjective perspectives during their childhood. They too had dreams in their childhood, but these dreams were often unfulfilled due to their parents' influence.

Zhou Bancheng is a good father!

Many viewers resonated with this, recalling their own childhood moments and their eyes welled up with tears.

They don't blame their parents; they just hope their parents can support them like Zhou Bancheng did.

As the plot unfolds, viewers can't stop crying as Zhou Bancheng endures immense life pressure.

In the movie, Zhou Bancheng's life finally settles down. He works with all his might, even choosing not to drink water or go to the bathroom in order to save time.

Heaven often favors those who work hard; Zhou Bancheng was called away by the HR manager.

When Zhou Bancheng saw the shareholder who had interviewed him last time again, he felt a mix of emotions and could only greet him with a smile.

In fact, he was very nervous. Entering this office meant two possibilities: either he would be fired or he would be hired.

However, it is clear that the chances of being hired are even smaller.
