lover forty

"you are fired!"

I broke up with my love yesterday, drank at night, overslept in the morning, when I rushed to the company, the boss who had been waiting pointed out that I was fired.Uncle Chang Cai froze in place.

Contrary to him, Boss Sun was so happy that he almost set off firecrackers to celebrate.He roared inwardly: Damn it!This old man was finally caught by him and fired!Three years!Three years!He finally made a mistake in front of him!

Three years ago, Boss Sun took over the company from his father. He saw that the old employees of the company were not pleasing to the eye, and thought that these old employees were old waste. Therefore, he specially targeted the old employees who were not pleasing to the eye. Wrong, he used this as an excuse to fire her, and then recruited young and beautiful girls to replace the original employees.But Uncle Chang Cai is an exception.If you really want to describe it, it is a tough nut to crack.He works hard, never arrives late or leaves early, and has no problems with his performance.Therefore, he could not find a reason to fire the other party.

But since the other party didn't make any mistakes, let's start with his salary and year-end bonus.Therefore, he withholds the other party's salary every month, which is called the company fund, and everyone has to pay it.Then, cancel his year-end bonus.But even so, the old man remained steadfast and refused to leave.Boss Sun was so angry that he vomited blood. Seeing this old man every day ruined his good mood all day.

After staring at him for three years, today, three years later, he is finally late!

Boss Sun's mood... is about to fly.It's not in vain that he stared at the other party for three years!God finally hugged him back.

This time, he could finally dismiss the other party as a matter of course.

After being stunned, Uncle Chang Cai hurriedly asked: "Mr. Sun, please give me another chance! I promise I won't do it again next time! Even if I deduct a month's salary."

Mr. Sun said happily: "Uncle Chang Cai, it's not that I don't give you a chance, it's that you don't give yourself a chance. No matter which company it is, it won't keep anyone who is late casually."

"I didn't casually..."

"Okay, you have [-] excuses. But in front of me, all your excuses are useless. Go, go and hand over the work and then go to the property to collect last month's salary and get out."

Lovelorn yesterday, unemployed today.This is simply more terrifying than last night's nightmare.

Uncle Chang Cai always knew that Boss Sun wanted to fire him, so he was meticulous in his work, and he would not let the other party catch him, so as not to be fired for various reasons.Even if the wages were deducted every month, and only about 1 yuan was obtained, he never flinched.But now it's all over.He has three years left on his mortgage and is 40 years old, making it even more difficult to find a new job.Losing this job now is equivalent to cutting off the mortgage and food.You know, his monthly 1 yuan, excluding the mortgage payment, the rest is spent on life.Therefore, after a month, there is no money at all.

How to do how to do?

Uncle Chang Cai lost his soul and handed over with other salesmen, and then went to the financial room to receive his last salary.

Walking out of the company, there was a conversation between Boss Sun and the front desk behind him.

"Go, buy me a roll of firecrackers, I want to celebrate..."

At this moment, Uncle Chang Cai just wanted to cry.

Came to Central Park in despair and sat on a stone chair. Uncle Chang Cai hugged his head and said like a mantra: "What to do, what to do, what to do..."

The beggar who was lying on the ground next to him suggested: "Hey, brother. Why don't you beg with me."

Uncle Chang Cai looked up and looked at the beggar's messy hair and yellow teeth. He seemed to see his future self - an older man who couldn't find a job and was abandoned by society, and ended up living on the street fighting dogs for food and begging .

He was so frightened that he got up and ran away.

The beggar said disdainfully: "Tch, what's the big deal. I used to be the chairman..."

After wandering outside for a day, Uncle Chang Cai finally accepted the fact that he was unemployed.He casually bought a takeaway and went home. As soon as he entered the community, the yellow dog pounced on him.He hurriedly avoided: "This is my dinner and I can't give it to you!" Then, guarding his food tightly, he entered the elevator.

In the elevator is the acquaintance of the aunt from the same community. She lives on the tenth floor.

"Xiao Chang, you leave work so early today?"

"Yes, Aunt Liu."

"What about the person I told you about last time? Although Xiaozhu divorced early, she is five years older than you and has three children. But she is definitely a good woman who takes care of her family. I think you are honest and stable. Work. If the two of you are together, you will be able to live a good life."

"This... I don't think we are suitable. So..."

"What is appropriate or not? You are too old. If you don't get married now, who will take care of you when you are old and lie on a hospital bed? Hey, you just don't like to listen to old people's words, and you will regret it when the time comes... ..."

As soon as the elevator door opened on the fifth floor, Uncle Chang Cai escaped from the elevator as if fleeing.

This Aunt Liu is good at everything, but she is too enthusiastic to be a matchmaker.He's gay, how can he be with other women?Isn't this a disaster for others?

As for when he was old... let's talk about it when he was old.Because, it is the individual who always has the day of death.Moreover, the most important thing for him to consider right now is the extremely dangerous life crisis.If he doesn't find a job soon enough, it's really over.

The key is to eat takeaway food, turn on the computer and search for "elderly employed" and "40-year-old looking for a job" on the search engine.The information that popped up on the webpage made him desperate.

Click on a related forum, which is full of topics about employment for older adults.

The first post was posted by a young man, who said that the uncle next door to him lost his job and became a waste.He was not welcomed at home every day, and finally committed suicide.

The second post was written by a man in his 40s.It records his search for work.But this post has been updated for more than two years, and he still hasn't found a job.

The third post was written by young people, calling them trash.It is said that cleaners, dishwashers, and brick movers do a lot of work, but they just don't want to do it.There are thousands of floors under this post.Mostly scolding.

The fourth post is a self-reported post of a 40-year-old.This post is very depressing and painful to read.

……

Looking at it, it is obvious that this society does not give older people a chance.Therefore, at his current age, it is even more difficult to find a job with a salary of tens of thousands of yuan a month.But if you can't find it, the house can't continue to repay the loan.And those so-called cleaners and dishwashers.These, of course, have wages, and the wages of these jobs are only two to three thousand, which is not enough to pay off the mortgage.So what's the point?

Unless, he gets married.Two people, live together and repay the loan.

But he will not marry.

Thinking, thinking.Feeling so distressed, he quietly wiped away his tears.

Close the forum and open the job site to find a job.He found that the basic age limit for recruiting salesmen is 30 years old.There are basically no more.He chose to restrict his search by age and found jobs over 40, mostly cleaners and the like.Backing off, he tried to apply for job postings with no age limit.I voted for several companies at once.Then close the webpage, and pray in my heart that I can get an interview notice tomorrow.

The next day, the phone was quiet.

On the third day, there was no call.

On the fourth day, there was not even a text message.

Knowing that those resumes had been deleted into the trash can, Uncle Chang Cai continued to vote.This time, he randomly submitted resumes.Who might be blind and take a fancy to him?

With this expectation, a week later, there was still no notification.

He continued to vote.After voting, I opened the refrigerator to cook, only to find that there was only one cabbage left in the refrigerator.

Start the fire, put in a handful of noodles, then carefully remove a cabbage leaf and cook the noodles.

Half a month later, he still failed to find a job.If you don't frugal, the money in the card will be used up quickly.

After eating the noodles with only oil, salt and cabbage, he thought to himself, it wouldn't be a problem to wait like this.So eat up the noodles.He tidied himself up and headed to the talent market.

The traffic on the subway is scary.It's hard to squeeze up, but still be caught in the middle.Uncle Chang Cai is thin and frail, but fortunately he is used to the crowds on the subway.

After finally arriving at the talent market station, when he got down, there were two more footprints on his shoes.Her hair, which was originally combed, has also become a mess.

After brushing his hair with his hand, he walked out of the station and headed towards the talent market.

In the talent market, you can see many young people.There are very few people as old as Uncle Chang Cai.Therefore, as soon as he entered, he was yelled at——

"Uncle, our company recruits cleaners, including food and housing, [-] a month, working eight hours a day."

"Uncle, our factory needs toilet cleaning, come here?"

Uncle Chang Cai smiled back awkwardly, shook his head, and walked into the talent market.

In the talent market, every company has a job listing.He looked over one by one, and from time to time someone called him to do cleaning work.Looking at the work of recruiting salesmen, he mustered up the courage to go forward and hand out his resume.

The interviewer took the resume, looked at him and said, "Forty?"

Uncle Chang Cai nodded with difficulty.

"Sorry, our company needs active young people."

"Don't look at my age, I actually have a young heart."

"Oh...then what, in fact, what we need is a height of 1.8 meters, and the height of the sir is obviously not enough."

"I can wear a booster."

"Actually, I was wrong. What we want is 1.6 meters."

"I can bend over."

"No, no, actually, we don't want to apply for you. Sir, if you must stay and work in our company. Uncle Cleaning welcomes you."

Uncle Chang Cai angrily withdrew his resume and went on to the next company for an interview.
