Chapter 65: Employment pressure is high, and my cousin's troubles!
Chapter 65: High employment pressure, cousin’s troubles!
Since their homes were not too far apart, Ye Bai and his uncle chatted while walking, and soon they arrived at his uncle's house.
After entering the door, Ye Bai observed the surrounding environment.
It is also a courtyard and a bungalow, both of which are kept fairly neatly.
Inside the house, there are many awards and certificates posted on the walls.
Taking a closer look, they are all witnesses of the glory of my cousin Ye Ze who has been studying for so many years.
It is not easy for a family to support a doctoral student.
In addition to the children's own efforts and persistence, the silent efforts of the parents behind the scenes cannot be ignored.
When he looked at these certificates, his uncle stood beside him and watched together.
It’s like remembering the excitement I felt when posting certificates of award in the past.
"Uncle, is Ozawa in the room? I'll go talk to him."
"Okay, he has locked himself in the room all day. You go in and help me persuade him. Please, Ye Bai."
It can be seen from the uncle's expression that he has been trying to persuade his son a lot recently, but unfortunately it has had little effect.
Only when I had no other choice did I think of asking Ye Bai for help.
"Okay, I'll go there first."
Ye Bai said goodbye to his uncle, came to Ye Ze's door, and knocked lightly.
Giggle
Soon, the door opened from the inside.
The first time he saw his cousin Ye Ze, Ye Bai realized that he was really not in a good condition.
Indeed, as his uncle said, he was listless, pale, and very thin. Compared with the way he looked in his memory, it was a million miles away.
"Brother? Why are you here?"
Ye Ze did not expect to see Ye Bai at this time, with a surprised expression on his pale face.
Then, a bit of joy appeared, and his eyes lit up.
"Ozawa, let me see you. After I came back from Hangzhou, I have always wanted to meet you, but I was worried that you were too busy, so I came here now."
Ye Bai and his cousin have played together since childhood, and their relationship is still very close.
"Brother, come in quickly and sit down."
Ye Ze immediately got out of the way, pulled Ye Bai into the room to sit down, and said quickly.
"Brother, I have watched all your videos online. Every speech you make is powerful and every word is precise. I am so proud to have a cousin like you!"
After hearing this, Ye Bai just smiled lightly and started to bring the topic to Ye Ze.
"Oze, you have been studying since you were a child. You are the only doctoral student in our old Ye family. I am very proud of you!"
The smile on Ye Ze's face dimmed, and he complained in a low voice: "What's the use of a PhD student? It's not...Alas!"
Hearing what he said, Ye Bai continued to follow the stick and said, "Aren't you about to graduate? The employment situation this year seems not to be very good. Do you have any plans for your job?"
Shaking his head, Ye Ze had no intention of hiding anything from his cousin, and said frankly: "No! Brother"
"The employment situation this year is indeed very severe. You don't know that with so many graduates from our school, only a few can find satisfactory jobs."
"Last year, some good companies were recruiting more than ten or twenty people, but this year, they were only recruiting one person."
"I have submitted a lot of resumes, but they either went to waste or failed to pass the second or third screening. There are only a limited number of good positions, but there are many people competing for them. I originally thought my conditions were pretty good, but who knows there will be even better ones.
People are so curly!"
"You said that after studying hard for so many years, I can't just be a waiter or something. It's not that I look down on waiters, but that I can't get over the hurdle in my heart."
"In this way, I can't face the painstaking cultivation of my parents for so many years, and I can't face the hard work of myself for so many years."
"This kind of mentality of being too low and too high makes me feel very distressed! It's really annoying."
After hearing his cousin say so much in one breath, Ye Bai was also shocked by the current employment situation.
He knew the situation was bad, but he didn't expect it to be so bad!
After thinking for a moment, he said to Ye Ze: "If you didn't tell me, I really didn't know that the current employment situation has become so severe."
"However, don't put too much pressure on yourself. The general environment is in recession, and this is not your fault alone. At this time, everyone needs to bite the bullet and get through it. When the rain passes and the sky clears up, everything will be fine.
It will be fine."
After a pause, Ye Bai continued: "For general students' employment, doesn't the school hold some school-enterprise job fairs? Or, does your employment guidance teacher provide you with any advice?"
When mentioning this, Ye Ze looked a little lonely and said slowly: "The school still recommended that we find a satisfactory and decent job."
"Oh?" Ye Bai chewed on the words "satisfying and decent" and asked, "What is a satisfying and decent job?"
Ye Ze smiled bitterly and began to explain.
"In fact, it means that we should try our best to go to big companies, such as those giant Internet companies, well-known companies or foreign-funded companies, etc."
"So that's it."
After Ye Ze finished explaining, Ye Bai realized that this was what the school called a satisfying and decent job.
Outside the room.
Uncle Ye Jianzhang and his aunt were sitting uneasily in the living room, chatting at random.
"Old Ye, you said that Ye Bai came here to help persuade him this time, can Xiao Ze be more open-minded?"
"Yes, you have to have confidence in Ye Bai. He and Ozawa have always been close, and coupled with his eloquence, I can definitely trust him."
Ye Jianzhang took his wife's hand and comforted her.
The aunt frowned deeply, sighed, and complained to her husband.
"Tell me, we have worked so hard for Ozawa to study for so many years. How come we can't even find a decent job after graduation? He is a doctor!"
"Shouldn't there be a rush for PhDs everywhere? Shouldn't you be able to get into a good employer and make a lot of money as soon as you graduate?"
"I originally thought he had graduated, but we finally managed to see the moonlight after the clouds cleared. Who would have thought that this would happen again."
Seeing that his wife was filled with bitterness, Ye Jianzhang could only enlighten her.
"Actually, Ozawa's conditions are still very good. If he were to find a job casually, it would not be difficult at all. But now that the employment situation is grim, it is not easy to find a job that meets his expectations."
"You also know that our son has always been very high-spirited. He just doesn't want to give in, which is why he is so distressed."
Auntie agreed very much when she heard this, nodded and said: "Yes!"
"But we can't blame our son. He has studied for so many years. If he does the same job as an undergraduate or college student, where is his value?"
"Give it to me, I can't accept it either."
At this point, the problem seemed to have returned to its original point. The couple fell silent and stopped talking... This chapter has been completed!
