After being stunned for a long time, Tong Wenjie finally said, "Fang Yuan'er, is it true that no one introduced you to a job?"
"Maybe everyone didn't see it." Fang Yuan said harshly, "After all, I only sent one message, and it was quickly overwhelmed by other messages. It's normal that everyone didn't see it."
"Dad, if you are still not convinced, then send a red envelope to the group first, and then talk about helping you find a job." Xiang Nan suggested.
After hearing what he said, Fangyuan hesitated for a moment, finally picked up her phone and sent a two hundred yuan red envelope to the group.
In fact, he most likely knows that after the red envelopes are distributed, it is unlikely that anyone will introduce him to a job.
But he still doesn't want to admit defeat to his son easily. This is a matter of face for him as a father.
After the red envelope was sent out, it was quickly snatched up by the group of friends, which shows that many people are online now.
However, no one mentioned work to him.
This made Fangyuan's face become a little embarrassed.
"Okay, let's eat first, eat." Tong Wenjie saw this and said quickly.
Xiang Nan nodded.
…
During the meal, Fangyuan looked at her phone frequently, but her expression became worse and worse.
After receiving all the red envelopes, someone responded to his message.
But they are all "come on", "thank you", "like", "brother, rush duck" and the like, which are nutritious soup and water, and have no useful information at all.
"Fang Yuan'er, let's eat, don't look away." Tong Wenjie saw this and comforted him repeatedly.
"How can I still eat this?" Fang Yuan said depressedly, "Look at these people, they are usually very close to me and my senior brothers, not to mention how affectionate they are. This is not the time to really beg them. Look at one of them. Everyone pretends to be deaf and dumb."
He thinks that he is usually very popular. He has so many classmates, junior brothers and junior sisters, and he also knows so many rich bosses. I originally thought that even if I quit my job, it would not be difficult to find another job.
But now, he has really been hit hard by reality! The blow gave him a headache and made him lose face.
"Dad, you haven't understood that yet. Networking is not about how many people you know, but how many people know you." Xiang Nan took a few bites, and after finishing the meal, he suggested to Fangyuan, "Ma Yun, Liu Qiang You also know Dong, can you point them out?
Real estate agents and insurance salesmen were the ones throwing business cards all over the street, asking for their contact information. Do Jack Ma and Liu Qiangdong still need to ask for their contact information? How many people want their contact information but can't get it. "
“In the final analysis, connections are based on exchange of interests. It’s not about how many things you ask others for, but how many things they ask you for.
You are now a corporate legal officer with a stable career and a good salary. You have no need to beg for help, so people will naturally want to get close to you. But once you lose your job, you immediately become a middle-aged unemployed man. Who doesn't worry that you will ask others to borrow money.
People will naturally start to guard against you and stay away from you to avoid being implicated by you. This is human nature, this is completely normal. "
"..." Fangyuan and Tong Wenjie both stared at their son in shock.
They really didn't expect that their son could tell such a thorough truth.
"Son, where did you learn these things?" Fang Yuan coughed dryly and asked in disbelief.
"It's all in this book, and it's all on the Internet." Xiang Nan spread his hands and said, "Have you never read "Zengguang Xianwen"? There are tea and wine and there are many brothers. How can you see one person in a pinch? There is no human kindness. I say spring is good, but I'm afraid it will be cold when autumn comes."
"..." Fangyuan and Tong Wenjie looked at each other and really didn't know what to say.
"Okay, you should go back to your room after dinner." Tong Wenjie urged.
Xiang Nan and Lin Lei'er both nodded and then went back to their rooms.
…
"Alas, our son has grown up too fast. A few days ago he was just a naughty and mischievous monkey, but these days he has become more worldly than you and me." Fang Yuan said with emotion.
"This is not a bad thing. Boys should be more mature. What kind of future can they get from playing around, eating, drinking and having fun all day long?" Tong Wenjie agreed.
"He is still a child now, and he should be like a child. He is innocent and cute. Now that he has become so mature, I don't think it is a good thing." Fang Yuan objected.
"He is already eighteen years old and an adult. In ancient times, he got married and had children long ago. He is the father of the child, and he still has the child." Tong Wenjie retorted, "It's because you are too immature as a father to let the child be yours." Worry about everything.”
Fangyuan blinked, unable to say anything else.
To be honest, after this incident, he really learned a lesson.
I originally thought that I was very popular and had friends everywhere I went. I didn't worry about my job at all. I thought I would find a way out soon if I quit my job.
Therefore, he often comes late to work and leaves early, and he always sneaks out to drink with Qiao Weidong, making him like a veteran in the workplace.
But now he knows that his so-called connections are basically worthless. If he is really fired, I'm afraid no one will take over.
In this case, he should just work honestly. Otherwise, if we really get fired, who can we rely on to support our family, old and young?
…
"By the way, let me tell you something again. I just went to Fanfan's room. Do you know what he was doing?" Tong Wenjie asked again.
Fangyuan was stunned for a moment, then blinked and lowered his voice and said, "You're not doing that kind of thing, are you?"
"What? Look where you are going." Upon hearing this, Tong Wenjie immediately punched him.
"I'm talking about playing games, where did you think you were?" Fang Yuan said with a bad smile.
Tong Wenjie's face turned red, "You're not serious. Now, let's get down to business and don't make trouble. I'm telling you, my son is writing a thesis."
"Write a paper?! What paper should you write?" Fangyuan asked in surprise, "Isn't paper written only in universities?"
"My son said that as long as he has the ability, he can write a paper at the age of five. Moreover, he also said that once the paper is published, he can participate in independent enrollment." Tong Wenjie explained.
"Really, is there such a thing?" Fangyuan quickly took out his mobile phone to check, "Hey, it seems to be really good. But can our son write a paper?"
"Yes, I've written a long article. I don't know much about the 'history of the composition of celestial bodies' or anything like that." Tong Wenjie explained.
"You don't understand, how can our son understand?" Fang Yuan wondered.
"My son is smart." Tong Wenjie said proudly, "He used to be naughty and mischievous and did not use his intelligence in the right place. Now my son finally knows how to work hard."
"That's an explanation." Fang Yuan nodded, "But is our son really that talented that he can write a thesis at the age of eighteen? I had to hold back my college graduation thesis for several months."
"You and I are both academic masters, how could my son not be a genius?" Tong Wenjie said with conviction.
