"Xiao Su, there won't be any problem with next month's rent, right?"
The landlady's eyes were full of suspicion. She even suddenly opened the door of Su Huai's bedroom and peered in, as if she was spying on a thief from the countryside.
But Su Huai could only nod and apologize: "No, no!"
…
"Can you please stop making fun of me and Su Huai all the time?! Are we a good match?!"
The beauty colleague's outburst came without any warning, and her irritated and angry attitude suddenly cooled down the atmosphere of the department dinner party.
Su Huai stood there awkwardly, moved his lips twice, and then suppressed his excuses.
I really don't miss you...
…
"Mr. Su, thank you for the hospitality, but I'm afraid we are not suitable. Oh, by the way, I will pay the half myself."
The blind date didn't move his chopsticks much during the whole process, and his attitude was impeccably polite. After A paid half of the bill, he turned around and left as if he was relieved.
Su Huai was also relieved.
He liked the other person quite a bit, but he knew he wasn't worthy of her, so he started worrying about gains and losses as soon as he sat down.
The current results are not bad at all.
…
Are they going too far?
In fact, no one is too much.
They are all normal people, trying to safeguard their own interests and be realistic, but they did not intentionally insult Su Huai.
However, the combination of various factors caused Su Huai to live in an environment where he encountered obstacles at every turn. This was also true.
There are really not that many top-notch idiots in society, but more ordinary people who hold high and low while weighing both internal and external interests. If you are not successful enough, then they will weave a big web to make you feel uncomfortable all the time.
Who is to blame?
Su Huai didn't think it was his problem.
As a young man from a small town with average height, average looks, and average IQ, facing this era of soaring prices, just living a serious life is already very difficult.
He tried hard, he just couldn't do more.
But it is a pity that Darwinian society never pities the weak, let alone reasons.
The strong can treat the world like a bitch and charge as much as they want, but the weak can only be repeatedly crushed by Tiger tanks, and there is no joy in the process.
The world has always been like this.
Su Huai has lived for more than thirty years and has already seen everything clearly.
His mentality is getting calmer and calmer, and he is less and less likely to be disturbed by the outside world. However, when some people ask from above, "Have you worked hard? Has your salary increased over the years?", at that moment, he finally broke through.
I'll work hard for you!
How the hell do you want me to work hard? !
My grandparents were ordinary rural people. They dug in the soil with sweat and blood for many years and finally sent their parents out of the countryside.
My parents also endured hardships enough. When they were young, they cut pig grass and studied at the same time, and finally settled down in a small county town.
Su Huai was even more worried and struggled to get into two non-key universities.
Three generations of people have worked hard for decades but cannot afford a toilet in Shanghai. The fundamental reason is that they have not been able to reap the dividends and their hard-earned income cannot keep up with inflation. However, you attribute the reason to us not being enough. effort? !
I can fuck you MLGB!
Su Huai did not vent his emotions online, but angrily took home a box of beer.
Drink and reminisce about your life.
I was the happiest when I was a child, and that kind of heartless happiness will no longer exist.
The most profound memory of middle school is studying hard despite low self-esteem, and then becoming even more inferior due to the impact of talent.
Working part-time while studying in college was very fulfilling, but in the dead of night I was always struck by confusion and uneasiness.
After working, I became a social beast. My knowledge became wider and wider, my personality became smoother, but my future became increasingly bleak.
To this day, it seems that it is hard to come back.
So fucking sad…
Su Huai shook his head and smiled bitterly, his eyes blurred. He suddenly wanted to call his mother, but he was afraid that she would worry.
When an adult man wants to talk to his parents about household matters but is worried that they will worry about him, it proves that he is not the pride of his parents, but a burden to them.
So sad.
Waves of frustration surged into his heart, making Su Huai almost go crazy.
if……
If I work harder in high school, can I get into a better university?
Not very realistic.
After the study intensity is maxed out, what you compete for is pure IQ and understanding. If you can't do the final math problem, you can't do it. There is no possibility of being upset.
…
If I take more certificates in college, can I find a better job?
not much differences.
The best way out is the public examination, the postgraduate entrance examination, foreign companies, and big factories, but the upper limit has been set for a long time, and it is just a working dog.
If you want to be promoted to a senior executive and earn an annual salary, and achieve real success, you still need capabilities, emotional intelligence, background resources.
Just by working overtime, you will be the scapegoat of your department until you die.
…
If we start a business early and seize those so-called turnaround opportunities, can we achieve financial freedom?
I guess it's enough.
A person will definitely encounter many opportunities in his life, but most ordinary people cannot grasp them. In fact, this is the norm.
Those PUA masters on Douyin open their mouths, recognize and shut up. It seems that if you buy a course and improve your cognition, you will definitely succeed. But is this really the case?
Bullshit!
There are so many opportunities within the scope of our knowledge. In hindsight, those opportunities will be more fragrant, but beforehand, who can guarantee that they will be successful?
If you cannot succeed 100%, you will have to face the consequences of failure.
The second generation can withstand many failures, so they can relax and seize the opportunity in advance when they see the slightest signs.
Those who have capital are never afraid to start over again, because success is good, but failure can also accumulate experience and lessons, and the next time you start a business, you will be more comfortable.
But Su Huai, like thousands of ordinary workers, has no room for error. If he fails, he will bear heavy debts and huge time costs, and he will never recover.
Under such heavy pressure, even if you really dare to work hard and find the right project, it is more likely that your mentality will be out of balance and your operations will be deformed, leading to failure.
Therefore, cattle and horses are not suitable for starting a business at all.
Most of Su Huai's classmates and friends have tried to do something on their own, and the probability of success is about one in fifteen.
To sum up, it seems like a modern version of Journey to the West——
Those who have the backstage know-how will do well in the end;
Those who had no escape route would basically die violently.
Therefore, young people must not accept any PUA from brick-and-mortar experts. There is no fairness in starting a business from the beginning. On the same track, there are many cars that roll over ten times without breaking a muscle, and there are various off-site activities. As a super competitor, it is highly likely that we will lose.
In 2020, there were only 740,000 dishonest persons subject to enforcement nationwide, and by 2023 the number had risen to 20 million. Except for half of the unlucky ones who bought houses with high leverage, the rest were all migrant workers who blindly started their own businesses.
Su Huai had been restless for a while in his early 30s, but after he truly saw himself clearly, he could only feel happy.
Starting a business? Are you that fucking material? !
People in middle age are not as good as dogs. Being bald does not make them stronger, they only make them uglier.
Really, I'm glad I didn't waste time.
…
If you don't be so stubborn and work hard to catch up with a young rich woman while you are young, can you change your life against the odds?
Well, this is somewhat reliable.
You can eventually find pure love in college, but the problem is, how can a 20-year-old be so thick-skinned?
And just having a good face is of no use. If your appearance is not good enough, the difficulty is +100; if you are not sweet-mouthed enough, the difficulty is +500. Even though you have great power, what is the point of not being able to use it?
Oh, by the way, the above sentence is just a daily boast. We don’t have a big tool, just an old-fashioned flashlight.
…
"If I could do it again..."
The half-drunk Su Huai clenched his fists tightly, and his tone was as cruel as ever——
"I can't fucking lick them to death!"
It is impossible to work part-time, and you will not be able to keep up with inflation if you make money in a regular manner.
Starting a business is even more boring, it’s busy, tiring and stressful.
Su Huai has really fought hard enough. He just wants to go back to his youth and find a Bai Fumei to eat soft food, make the first pot of gold steadily, and then seize the three major opportunities of live streaming e-commerce, Bitcoin, and the 2022 World Cup. Choose any one, and you can enjoy life happily from now on.
Those who accuse him of being worthless are all children who have never been severely beaten by society. Don't bully, bully is your fault.
But the ambition only lasted for a few seconds, and soon Su Huai became discouraged.
"Lick the hair! With a dick like ours, it's enough to lick an 80-point beauty. Who gave you the courage to lick a top-notch white and rich beauty?"
Most men are very worried, but Su Huai, whose hairline has moved up 8 centimeters, is particularly worried.
When he was in his prime, he was clumsy, tongue-tied, poor in money, and faceless. Now he is ruthless, ruthless, and well-versed in tricks, but he has been destroyed by the years into a sizzling black and yellow old fried stick.
In short, no matter what age he is, he is never...unworthy of flirting with girls.
"Forget it, I don't want to do it all over again, give me a Tongzi father!"
Su Huai drunkenly threw the can into the trash can in the corner, but ended up hitting the wall.
A bang woke him up.
"Grass!"
Su Huai slapped his thigh hard, feeling disgusted with himself: "What's the matter with you, little brother? You don't even dare to do the best thing in your dreams? When adults do multiple-choice questions, of course they have to do both!"
Humming a shapeless tune, Su Huai fell onto the bed crookedly. Before falling into sleep, there was only one thought left in his mind -
If I could do it all over again, I would choose Li Bai.
Laughing down a glass of wine, killing people in the city.
