Chapter 12 Over Forty

Author: Mei Shiniang

Yu Wenhao put a sticker on the center console in front of the passenger seat, with his WeChat QR code printed on it, his mobile phone number, and a warm reminder:

"Passengers carrying valuables are welcome to scan the QR code. If you accidentally leave any items on the car when you get off the bus, please contact me."

Every time a passenger gets off the bus, Yu Wenhao will actually check the place where he sat to see if the other person has left anything behind. If so, he will put it away to avoid being picked up by the passengers behind him and causing unnecessary trouble.

There are indeed many passengers who have added him on WeChat. Some of these customers who have added him on WeChat will ask him on WeChat if he is nearby when taking a taxi. If he is, he will specify a vehicle when placing an order.

Became his old customer.

After the man got in the car, he saw this sticker, picked up his phone, scanned the code, and then asked Yu: hello:

"Your surname is Yu?"

Say hello correctly.

"Is it still easy to drive online car-hailing services now?" the other party continued to ask.

Yu Wenhao shook his head: "It's hard to drive, there are too many cars, and the platform squeezes drivers so much that many drivers have no money to make. In order to squeeze out a little profit, there is no way, even the air conditioning in the car

I don’t dare to turn it on. If I turn on the air conditioner, I have to agree with the passengers in advance and charge additional air conditioning fees.”

The man laughed: "You don't want to accept it too, do you?"

"No, no, I didn't mean that." Yu Wenhao said quickly.

The man nodded and was silent for a while. Then he asked, "What are the requirements for driving an online ride-hailing service? I heard that the regulations are stricter now than before."

"Yes, if there are more sheep, there will definitely be more people coming to collect wool." Yu Wenhao said, "Now people need identification, and cars need vehicle identification."

"Person ID and vehicle ID? What do you mean?"

After saying hello, Yu told him what a person's ID was and what a vehicle ID was. The other party nodded, indicating that he understood, and then asked:

"Can you tell me how to apply for these two certificates?"

Yu Wenhao turned to look at him and laughed: "What, boss, you don't want to come and steal our jobs, do you?"

The other party also smiled: "It's possible. Is it okay?"

"Stop joking." Yu Wenhao said, "Let me tell you, with your style, you are not only a big boss of your own company, but also a senior executive of a large company. How can you like our kind of business?"

The other party was a little surprised, said "Oh" and asked, "How do you know what I do?"

Yu Wenhao said: "I deal with customers every day. It can be said that I have seen countless people. How could I misjudge them? Boss, please tell me, am I right?"

"Let's make it right." The other party said, "I belong to Ali."

"Haha, let me just say that's right. I won't make mistakes." Yu Wenhao shouted proudly.

The man sighed: "It's a pity that it's in the past. I was laid off last week and I got a big gift package and left."

"You changed jobs yourself, right?" Yu Wenhao said with a smile.

The other party shook his head and looked a little sad: "No, it's really not. I'm under a lot of pressure. If I dare to change jobs, I will be kicked out. I won't lie to you."

Yu Wenhao was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It's okay, it's okay. If you can become a senior executive in Alibaba, you are also a hero among people. If you are not in Alibaba, you can go to other places. People like you must be scrambled by everyone."

want."

The man smiled bitterly and had no words. He couldn't say anything more to say hello, and both of them were silent.

After a while, the man asked: "Do you know who I was drinking with just now?"

Yu Wenhao felt funny in his heart, how could I know who you were drinking with? Before he could speak, the man asked and answered:

"The man from the headhunting company contacted me from time to time when he was working and wanted to recruit me, but I didn't even agree. I hired him as a courtesy. Guess what he said to me?"

Yu Wenhao shook his head, and the man continued:

"He told me that I am already forty-two, and the atmosphere in the workplace has changed drastically. People like me who are over forty are already considered senior citizens, and all companies will reject them. Haha, this is a stick.

I beat him to death and told me clearly that I had no remaining value to him."

"Here I go, forty is an old person, whose standard is that?" Yu Wenhao shouted.

The man smiled bitterly: "The standard of the employer and the standard of the boss. In our industry, there are indeed many bosses who retire in their forties. This is a young industry. Forty-something people are indeed old and dissatisfied with old age."

No, I was the eldest in my old department. Alas, even I don’t know what else I can do next.”

The man's voice was lonely and helpless. Yu Wenhao comforted him and said:

"It doesn't matter. How do you say that? If you don't leave me here, you will have a place to stay. What do you have to worry about as a highly skilled person like you?"

"Talent? Haha."

The man then snorted: "How naive, oh, I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about myself. I originally thought that I was a talented person with amazing academic qualifications and experience in a large company. I have been training there for more than ten years and learned a lot.

All I learned were skills. After I left my job, I discovered that in the past ten years, I had just trained myself into a useless person, a useless person."

"How is that possible?" Yu Wenhao said.

"This is the reality. Let me tell you, if I were a coder, my end might not be so miserable now. I could change to another company and continue to write code. Unfortunately, what I used to do was operations, and I left the platform.

, what can I do? Really, if you ask me to go to the Civic Center to do something, I don’t even know what to do.

"The bigger the company, the more detailed the division of labor and the stricter the rules. In that position, I have been really polished into a screw by that position, or a special screw. After leaving that place, I really have nothing.

Yes, I am just a piece of scrap metal. If you ask me to go to a small company, let alone be a vice president or something, or even be an office director, I will be a mess.

"I no longer even know how to deal with people in society. My original position did not require me to deal with people at all. The conditions and platforms I need have been created for me. I can just do it step by step.

What I do is also cut into very small pieces. Now if I have to face something independently, I will be at a loss. Really, I feel like I am completely useless."

It can be seen that the man has a lot of pain in his heart and has suppressed himself for too long. When facing such a stranger to say hello, he talked and fully entered the posture of confiding, entered the context, and opened himself up.

.

Yu Wenhao comforted him and said: "No, it really isn't. You may have just lost your job and are not used to it yet. It will be fine once you get used to it. Unemployment is not as scary as you think."

"As for, do you know how many times I have hit the wall in the past week or so? Once I hit the wall, I will confirm once that I am indeed a waste. If I hadn't hit the wall everywhere, how could I have asked that idiot to drink with a stern face?

It turns out that when he is in front of me, he will obey me no matter what he says. What a fool, he didn’t let me hit the wall, but gave me a nail directly!"

As the man spoke, he looked out the window with a blank look. The brilliance of the city had begun to wither by this time, and the entire city began to dim as soon as midnight passed.
