Li Jia now no longer has the vitality and indifference she had when she was at school. She has just started working, and the excitent and thrill of being able to support herself has long since been lost in the mists of ti.
When she has a rare mont of leisure at work, she looks around at all the other busy young people in the cubicles, just like her, and wonders if her 16 years of study have really prepared her for this boring, uninspiring job.
Sotis the more she thought about it, the more discouraged she beca, especially when she was severely reprimanded by her supervisor for trivial or groundless reasons. More than once, she wondered if she should seriously consider her parents' opinions and follow their plan to go ho and beco a civil servant.
Even more depressed than Li Jia was Gao Zhiyi. As a top student in the finance departnt, Gao had always dread of becoming like those elites on Wall Street, where they could wave their hands and close multimillion-dollar deals. He would have been happy if he could have developed a model of his own, one that would last a lifeti.
However, if ideals are like a plump person, then reality is at best a skinny person.
It should be said that they still have many employnt options. Various companies co to the university to recruit, and they have a lot of choice. However, there are not many companies that match their interests.
In 1996, the overall situation of the dostic stock market was good. With inflation disappearing and bank interest rates falling, after several years of decline, the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets both rose sharply that year. This was of course good for their employnt.
He happily picked a few, and finally chose a large securities firm, and was assigned to the investnt departnt of his choice. This was a high-paying position with good prospects.
However, for this newcor, he is just a piece of the company, moving wherever needed, endlessly helping with various docunts. There are also opportunities to travel on business, but those are trips that the older people don't want to take. There are also opportunities to go to banquets, but they are just there to serve as wine barrels.
What's even more annoying is that when sothing goes well, it's the leader who gets the credit, but when sothing goes wrong, it's definitely the people below them who take the bla—of course, he's not angry about this situation anymore.
A colleague in the sa departnt who has been working there for almost three years still hasn't been assigned any projects. He has heard people say that the bosses and managers all have connections, and that people like him, who don't have any connections, just have to suffer.
Of course, objectively speaking, their work is a bit more difficult, but their salary is not bad. Besides, opportunities may arise one day, so Gao Zhiyi, who is always optimistic, has persevered.
After working like a horse for more than a year, he finally had the opportunity to work as a consultant for a company's restructuring. Although he was only an ordinary clerk, it was still an opportunity, wasn't it?
However, this opportunity, which he considered to be the first step in his career, was clearly in his grasp, but on the first day, he was replaced by a girl who had just joined the company.
If it hadn't happened, he wouldn't have minded, but to be replaced at such short notice was unbearable! Although he was a chubby guy with a big heart, he did have a temper. He went to see his manager and had a few words, but of course his protest was in vain. After that, he was made to do all kinds of nial tasks.
Until one day, he finally couldn't stand it anymore and threw a resignation letter at the pig-headed supervisor's head.
After that, for half a year, resignations were commonplace, and he moved from company to company, until he currently works as a sales representative for a pharmaceutical company, which has nothing to do with his major. Moreover, even his son can't say for sure how long he will be able to do this job.
His current job is just a job, and he has no passion for it, let alone any plans.
So when Feng Yiping ntioned it, the two guys, who already lived together, agreed imdiately after just a few seconds of hesitation, without even asking about the salary.
Li Jia in particular said, 'Haha, I've finally beco a supervisor too.'
'Hey, and I'm still your part-ti secretary!' Feng Yiping reminded her, and in front of Gao Zhiyi, emphasised the word 'secretary'. The connotation of the word 'secretary' is now being changed by the group of people who beca rich first.
'Hmph, what else can you do? I can do anything,' Li Jia imdiately took Gao Zhiyi's arm, 'but I can openly bully people with a tiger's authority.'
When she thought about Feng Yiping's green face when they first t in 1993, even though he was about to beco her boss, Li Jia still couldn't find any sense of awe, and still saw him as the little brother who loved at and was very shrewd.
As for leaving the provincial capital early and going to Feng Yiping's city, they didn't mind. 'We're all from small counties.'
'Do you want to find a few more people?' Li Jia asked Feng Yiping while eating the tripe in the hotpot.
'That would be great, but after the frawork is set up next year, we should interview them even if they're fake.' Feng Yiping said that this part could not be skipped. Even if there is a shortage of people, we still need to have a general understanding of the people we recruit.
In this era, where everything is about money, having money still makes things easier. Feng Yiping needed an industry insider, and he had already found one from the first supermarket chain in Shanghai.
Haha, this is also a characteristic of the dostic market. Of course, I guess this is the case in many countries. Companies that are at the forefront of their industries often beco the industry's own Whampoa Military Academy, training talent for themselves while also supplying a large number of talent to their competitors.
The executive will also bring a few people over, and they will be in place after the New Year. By then, the project will be almost ready to start.
Feng Yiping is almost 18 years old, and it is finally ti to take the driver's license test. He has long been accustod to having a car, and he is finally old enough. Now that he has calculated it, he has quite a lot of RMB in his possession, so he decides to go ahead and buy a car.
i Yiliang took Feng Yiping to the school where they had taken their driving test, and with the help of alcohol and cigarettes, he got Feng Yiping to test out a few things on the driving school's test course. Feng Yiping's level was of course affird, and then he paid a bit more so that he could get his driving licence quickly after the first month of the year.
It really wasn't easy. Most of the current driving schools are related to the transportation departnt, and so driving schools are directly subordinate units of the transportation departnt.
While doing all this work, Feng Yiping wondered if this was how all the later road killers ca about.
However, there was really no such concept at the ti, mainly because there were few cars. In this era, in inland cities like theirs, if there was traffic congestion, it would indicate that the city's economy was developing well.
Really, the phenonon of traffic congestion, which the people later ca to hate, is definitely what many governnt officials want to see now.
If the higher-ups co to inspect, they can see that for a while during traffic control, the cars on the street are stuck for miles. This scene is definitely better and more effective than the flowery reports he writes.
With a driver's license in hand, buying a car is also on the agenda. Feng Zhenchang is not willing to change his car now. This van is quite good and quite practical, and it is convenient for carrying people and things.
i Yiliang really wants to change his car and give this one to the engineering departnt, but after thinking about it carefully, he feels that this car is still suitable.
If he goes on return visits and provides after-sales service in a luxury car, the property owners will definitely think, 'In just a few years, the boss can drive such a nice car, so I guess he has made a lot of money from us.'
That might even have the opposite effect.
