There wasn't much foot traffic on the streets, perhaps because of the hot weather.
An unknown convenience store chain.
The clerk was looking at his phone boredly. Suddenly, a middle-aged man wearing a mask slowly opened the door. The clerk glanced at him.
Unkempt hair, bloodshot eyes, and dark circles worthy of smoky makeup.
‘Another fat house, it’s really annoying.’ The clerk continued to lower his head and play with his mobile phone.
Looking at the reflection on the glass of the freezer, the middle-aged man shook his head mockingly, then opened the freezer and took two bottles of Feizhai Happy Water.
I walked around the other shelves and picked up a box of chocolate pies and two boxes of tomato soda cookies.
Put things on the cashier counter.
The clerk scanned the code and 26 yuan popped up on the display.
The young and middle-aged people directly took out the payment code.
drop!
[26 yuan has been received...]
Picking up the small bag, the young and middle-aged man did not say a word to the clerk. He was afraid of society and did not care about the clerk's indifference. Instead, he was afraid that the clerk would be too enthusiastic.
He looked at the balance on his phone.
[Balance: 573 yuan]
A man was walking aimlessly on the empty street. He opened the Feizhai Happy Water and took a long sip: "Huh... burp..."
I passed by the rice roll shop where I often ate before and was about to buy a rice roll, but I found that the store had closed the rolling shutter.
There is a red paper advertising the popular shop for rent on the door.
‘It’s closed? It’s so unpalatable, so it’s normal to close it.’ He paused for more than ten seconds, his eyes slightly dazed.
After attending university in Yangcheng, he chose to stay and work here.
It was relatively smooth at the beginning. He was recruited by a game company to be an artist. In 2017, the company went bankrupt, and he opened a private studio with a few old colleagues. The studio could get some business orders from various websites.
But the good times did not last long. Since 2020, the studio's business orders have become less and less, and several previous partners also had internal differences. In June 21, they finally parted ways.
He also moved from his previous Haizhu District to Nansha District, where the rent is relatively cheap. At the same time, he used his personal account to take some illustration business orders online.
Return to the small house you rented.
I washed my face and cooked a bag of instant noodles.
He sat in front of the computer and looked at the accounts of Mi Painter, Hua Guo Illustration, Weibo, and Station B. After looking through the private messages, he did not see the content of the consultation.
It has been more than two months since I received any orders. Now the competition in the illustration industry is very fierce, with a large number of new people coming in and constant price wars.
On the other hand, AI painting technology is also constantly improving. Nowadays, AI has taken a large part of the market share of ordinary figure paintings and big head paintings.
"Huh..." He sighed and took a sip of instant noodles.
Opening Station B, he found that Khan had updated it, and the title was [Homo sapiens and the potential of Southeast Asian integration].
Click to open the video.
He watches videos not to be interested in international events, but to increase his knowledge and avoid being out of touch with society.
At the age of thirty.
An embarrassing and helpless age.
He is legally a young man and a middle-aged man in the eyes of ordinary people. He doesn't know when this kind of age will be over.
After watching the video, I also finished eating all the instant noodles.
Touching his slightly swollen belly, he leaned on the computer chair and stared at the gray ceiling, his eyes somewhat divergent, as if they were floating thousands of miles away.
'Going back to your hometown?'
The face in the memory became clear in an instant. The wrinkles on his face were like thousands of ravines on the high slopes of the loess.
Unknowingly, tears were sliding down my cheeks.
He wiped away his tears and patted his face: "Cheer up, there is no obstacle that you cannot overcome."
After readjusting his mentality, he continued to look for orders on various websites and also looked for other channels to make money.
Half an hour later, he suddenly stopped the mouse and focused his attention on a web page.
[Mengguo Company is recruiting comic screenwriters. This job is responsible for writing comic screenwriters...
The basic salary is 500 gold yuan per month, and the probation period is 3 months. If you are promoted to Grade C employee, you will automatically receive an internal employment contract invitation from Homo Sapiens Company (immigration with immediate family members is required). Please browse the attachment for employee levels, salary and benefits...]
Homo sapiens company? Of course he knows about this giant company that dominates Southeast Asia and forces America to retreat.
Although the Homo sapiens company claims to accept all immigrants, it does not reject all comers.
First of all, individual immigration is not accepted and must be based on family units.
Secondly, they cannot have any behavior that harms Homo sapiens company, or they cannot make remarks that smear Homo sapiens company, and they cannot have a specific criminal record.
Finally, there is the special review by the Immigration Department, which is actually a secret investigation by the Field Service Department.
Since Homo sapiens Company opened up immigration channels, a large number of people from South Asia, West Asia, and East Asia near Southeast Asia have gone to the Human Resources Department of Homo sapiens Company to apply for immigration.
The quality of immigrants from East Asia is pretty good, but there are a lot of problems with immigrants from South and West Asia.
For example, there are self-destruction soldiers with evil intentions, and their families are controlled by gangs, and they plan to let young people immigrate to the Homo sapiens company. Then the gangs want these people to send money back continuously, or simply become intelligence pawns of all parties.
This kind of screening does not make the field department find it troublesome, but rather enjoys it.
For example, a dozen hyenas from Samode were controlled by the Field Service Department and transformed into soldiers.
There are also those gangsters who want to kidnap family members and threaten immigrants, but they are directly followed by the Field Service Department and directly take advantage of them.
This makes many forces think that they have succeeded, but in fact they do not know that they are fighting with open fire.
However, this kind of thing does not affect ordinary people.
The scale of the immigrated Homo sapiens company from all over East Asia is actually the largest.
This July.
There are approximately 720,000 people in the three East Asian countries who have obtained temporary visas for employees of Homo sapiens companies, not including family members.
Because the temporary visa is only for half a year. After half a year, if you don't want to stay, you can leave by yourself. If you are willing to stay, you must bring your immediate family members over within a month.
According to the regulations of the Human Resources Department of Homo sapiens, the immigration process can usually be divided into three stages: probation period (six months), internship period (six months), formal period - natural persons, and undisclosed formal period - new human beings.
If you are a new human being (lurking outside), you can directly skip the probation period and internship period and become a new human being in the official period.
For those who don't have much ambition and want to live a decent life, choosing the Immigration Homo Sapiens Company is naturally the best choice.
Those who want to be billionaires, or those whose families have small assets, will definitely not choose Homo sapiens company.
After all, the Homo sapiens company does not bring capital into the group. Just because you are a billionaire, you will not be superior to others or get the original shares of the company after joining the homo sapiens company.
The original stock of Homo Sapiens Company has only one owner from beginning to end, and that is Li Qingye.
Since there is no way to invest in Homo sapiens company.
So why did they join Homo sapiens?
Isn't it good to be a dragon in other places?
Or is the multi-billion dollar family fortune no longer valuable?
Nowadays, many of the people who have come to join Homo sapiens companies are young people from ordinary families.
Their family has no company, few apartments, no factories, no large farms, and no stores to inherit.
There is no love, wife and children, maybe only old parents.
They have almost nothing, so they are willing to take their parents away from home to find the dream world.
