The earthly reality of small-town do-gooders

You, a small town problem maker, finally got into the NPC cold economics major. When I was in college, I was always unconvinced that the ones next door were too snobbish, thinking only about investment banking and fund internships, and that I was the orthodox economics. But when it comes to finding a job and a bitter one, see the finance interview together also dare to say a few words, see the Hanqing and Qingbei is a breath of air are afraid to come out, and finally can not help but mutter why they also come to face such positions.

Finally, you rely on the brush skills finally or into the financial street of the big fund company, spent 6 years, when the financial industry senior researcher, after all, economics such professional can only look at macro and financial. Then tightly in Guangwai spent 6 million to buy a 65 square meters of old broken small, every day to look at the initial sale of the house to your intermediary circle of friends, suggesting to yourself that Guangwai is the next rise of Desheng.

The mortgage payments are 28,000 per month, and you have to double up on the top, calling out to your parents to help with the kids. A family of 5 new Beijingers crammed into a husband’s room with an available area of 45 square meters, the age of the room and your age to play Huarongdao. Your wife wants to replace the washing machine with a washer-dryer one, but you want to get a 3C special price, buy a drum washing machine with under-drainage and find that the water does not go down, and then sweat in the 4 square meters of the toilet tossed for a day and finally only returned, a master of the East delivery is looking at you with a face of dog disgust. .

In order to pay off the mortgage, every day in the company to take the initiative to work overtime until 9:00, because then late to catch the bus, by the company’s new entrants which which children behind the snickering “struggle forced” was hung up to no secret on and do not know, but helpless financial stocks every day like their own morning blog without any improvement, the morning meeting basically can not insert the speech, even if you catch the last 9:25-30 minutes here garbage time to say a few words, next to the fund manager either started to get up to go to the order or to brush his head down on the phone.

This day wanted to go back early, and was temporarily assigned additional tasks by the company’s leadership, write a Division I how to do a good job in the current regulatory environment compliance and growth win-win, you are moved to bite the yes, after all, this is the main value of financial researchers in the company. After writing a bunch of sets of words, found that it has been more than 10 o’clock missed the last 423, you gritted your teeth in the winter Financial Street Road to call the express car, but found that the queue to 28, so dripping with snot swept six bicycles are bad, and finally the seventh is good, crunching to ride home. While riding also consoled themselves, thanks to buy a house in Guangwai ride a half hour to home, passing above or blocked with shit like the Tianningsi Bridge, heart there is a trace of smug, but could not help but sneeze.

When you get home, your kids are still expressionlessly brushing up on their online English classes, your mom is washing the dishes and making the photos of your kids that you don’t know what day they were taken to make a beautiful face ready to send to your friends, and your dad is lying on the couch brushing up on his shake and the whole room is filled with that weird laughter effect. You go downstairs to throw the garbage, into the elevator on the left is cramming classes on the right is the electric dad’s ads, the screen darkened a moment, you see yourself that do the problem home of the dead gray face. After returning, the child finally finished all the after-school homework, because the water heater storage water is limited, you have to wait another 40 minutes to take a bath, when your parents came over to you, said they wanted to go back home, you heart a thud, then who will pick up the child, when the fund manager is not more hopeless.

Well lying in bed, your wife tells you that several groups say that this year’s admissions policy has changed again, let you hurry to ask, and then turned the body. You inquire in the group of classmates, a finally went to the two sessions a line of students echoed you a few words, said it is indeed difficult, my children certainly can not go to the experimental two small can only go to struggle, you feel the sky is spinning, there are only three words in your head, Versailles! Sleepless night.

The next day, you took a rare leave of absence to go to the Board of Education to inquire about the problem of schooling, and finally learned that this year, because of the special number of school-age children in this helicopter school, may have to be the same as the Desheng side, the possibility of a transfer. You are angry, said I am the tang NPC graduation, also got a Beijing account, is also considered the introduction of talent, why my children can not get on, is it really only by the account settled in the order of ranking it? Suddenly you recall, you finally patted the child’s shoulder yesterday and said, Dad came to this step, all only by my own efforts, so I believe you can, and your parents, that year is also so and you said. When you get excited, you kneel down.
