Today is Sunday, and Sun Hongming told his wife that he would work overtime.
After leaving home, he rushed to the talent market. There is usually a small special event here on Sundays, and there will be more companies than usual.
In this day and age, people at his level used to submit resumes online or communicate with certain headhunters to find new job opportunities.
However, the reality of finding a job in the past period made him afraid to rely solely on the Internet anymore.
He had never thought that the employment situation would be so severe this year. The news he received from headhunters was that many companies were laying off employees, especially people of his age group, who were hardest hit by layoffs.
Alas, people over forty are despised by others.
These days, without telling his wife and children, Sun Hongming spends all day visiting various job markets, or hanging out in some shopping malls and supermarkets, staying up until get off work, and then driving home.
An unprecedented anxiety deeply tortured him, as he had to pay back a mortgage of 20,000 yuan every month.
His wife is unemployed and takes care of two children at home, so the burden of life for the family of four falls entirely on him.
Not long ago, he got a promotion and a salary increase, moved to a new house and improved his housing conditions, and it seemed that he was embarking on the road of life.
Why did he become unemployed and abandoned in the blink of an eye?
If I had known that I would lose my job so soon, I would definitely not have traded in a small house for a larger one and shouldered a heavy mortgage loan.
Sun Hongming kept searching in the market, and he would immediately submit his resume to any company that could offer a decent salary.
It was just the change in the face of the person in charge of recruitment after looking through the resume and the polite words of "We have accepted the resume and we will notify you after arranging the interview" that made Sun Hongming disappointed again and again.
Sun Hongming didn't even eat lunch. He was sitting on the steps outside the job market, smoking a cigarette.
After only one week of unemployment, he seemed to have spent his whole life.
In fact, he also looked for some old classmates who stayed in Shanghai, hoping to introduce them to the company they worked for, but nothing happened.
He even shamelessly went to find a junior student whom he had supported in the past, but he was politely rejected.
If he didn't still have some savings to support him for a while, Sun Hongming would really be desperate.
"Mr. Sun."
A shout came, but Sun Hongming ignored it. There were too many people with the surname Sun. The person called "Mr. Sun" was definitely not an unemployed person like himself.
"Smoking less, it's not good for your health!" Following a tap on the shoulder, a slightly familiar voice came again.
Sun Hongming looked up and saw Du Qiu looking at him with a smile on his face.
"Dr. Du? Are you looking for a job too?"
"I'm coming to find you."
"Looking for me? Is there something wrong? I made it clear to the police last time. You should not be involved." Sun Hongming was a little surprised.
"Is your job search going smoothly?" Du Qiu pointed to the job market.
"Forget it, I didn't expect it to be so difficult for people over 40 to find a job..."
Sun Hongming was very tired these days. When he met Du Qiu, his former colleague, he immediately felt the desire to talk.
"Brother Sun, you can't be depressed like this. At your age, it's a good time to start a business for the second time. You have rich management experience. How about starting a business with me?"
Sun Hongming's ability is definitely very strong, but Du Qiu can see clearly that if the R&D department only relied on "mad cow disease", it would have been shut down long ago.
In the future, I will focus most of my time and energy on technical research, and the company's management and operations still require dedicated personnel to be responsible.
It is best to know this person well and be reliable.
Although Du Qiu and Sun Hongming only worked together for less than a year, they both saw with their eyes his various responsibilities under the oppression of "mad cow disease".
Sun Hongming is definitely a responsible person.
Therefore, when Da Liu mentioned Sun Hongming, Du Qiu couldn't sit still. After leaving the company to Yuan Minhua and Da Liu, he went directly to the talent market to find Sun Hongming.
He was afraid that it was already lunch time and Sun Hongming would leave. Unexpectedly, he saw Sun Hongming sitting on the steps with his head down and smoking from a distance.
Faced with Du Qiu's sudden solicitation, Sun Hongming was stunned for a few seconds, then he finished the remaining cigarette in his hand, looked up at Du Qiu, and said, "Dr. Du, why do you like me so much?"
Du Qiu smiled and said: "Do you believe it or not, I would rather get hurt than close the door to you?"
Sun Hongming's eyes flashed with gratitude. Although Du Qiu's words seemed a bit rash, he could see his character.
"Okay, as long as I can repay the monthly mortgage of 20,000 yuan, and my family of four can have food and clothing, I can spare this hundred pounds." Sun Hongming patted his not-so-thick chest and said.
"Okay, I'll take you there first, and I'll tell you about the company in detail on the way."
Du Qiu took Sun Hongming and drove back to his company.
As soon as I entered the factory, I saw Liu talking to someone pointing at the abandoned cars. It seemed that they were disposing of scraps.
Yuan Minhua came from the office area from a distance and reported excitedly.
"Mr. Du, I made an appointment with the cleaning company. They will come in the afternoon to clean up the office area and factory area.
In addition, Da Liu was responsible for finding a scrap company and selling all the unnecessary things. When people in the park go to work in the afternoon, I will go to them to arrange security."
Sun Hongming looked at Yuan Minhua in surprise, "Xiao Yuan, are you here too?"
"Yes, we have been recruited by our great doctor. Mr. Sun, please join our Mengyuan Technology, so that we can all work together again." Yuan Minhua said with a smile.
On the way here, Sun Hongming had already learned about the basic situation of Mengyuan Technology and the basic treatment Du Qiu gave to entrepreneurial cores. He had already decided to follow Du Qiu.
Now that I see Yuan Minhua and Da Liu, I feel much more at ease.
Without so many founding partners, Mengyuan Technology will no longer have the messy infighting relationships like Roadstar Technology.
"Yes, let's work hard together! Let's work hard together!" Sun Hongming said, and couldn't help but make a cheering gesture with his fists.
"Everything is difficult at the beginning, let's discuss work arrangements together."
As Du Qiu spoke, he shouted to Da Liu who was not far away, "Da Liu, when we've finished talking, come to the office upstairs."
Du Qiu took Sun Hongming for a brief tour, and then the three of them sat down and began to discuss various work arrangements.
Du Qiu listed the company's most urgent issues at present, and Sun Hongming and Yuan Minhua came up with ideas together to initially improve the work plan.
Du Qiu didn't have much preparation for starting a company. Fortunately, he had written a rough plan before, and with the help of the two of them, many loopholes were indeed filled.
Sure enough, professional matters should be left to professionals.
Du Qiu clapped his hands and said: "Brother Sun, the entire management and operation of the company will be left to you. Sister Yuan will complete the recruitment of personnel according to priority as soon as possible.
There is still half a month left in this month, and I will work with Da Liu and his people to complete the integration of software and hardware of the control system as soon as possible and fulfill Tianqi's contract."
Sun Hongming's thin face glowed with excitement, and it felt good to be back at work.
He nodded vigorously and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Du, we will strive to complete all plans ahead of schedule, and we will definitely cooperate with you to finalize Tianqi Company's contract."
"Leaders, aren't you hungry?"
Da Liu pushed open the door and walked in, carrying two large plastic bags with fast food boxes inside.
"Come on, come on, let's eat first. Only when you are full can you have the strength to work." Da Liu greeted everyone while putting the snacks on the conference table.
