Chapter 209 Age Discrimination
Lao Dou couldn’t sleep all night because of what Er Lao and A Yao said. Near dawn, he finally made up his mind to apply for the position of financial director in person. He believed that the second brother and A Yao were right. Apart from being a little older, he was fully qualified for the position of director.
After he figured it out, he fell asleep and slept until noon. After having a hasty lunch, he went out to apply for a job. The second guy, Ayao, knew that Lao Dou was not even in class to apply for a job, so he came home early and waited for the good news from Lao Dou.
"Old Dou, how are you? Did you apply for the job?" It was almost six o'clock when Old Dou finally came back. As soon as he came back, the second brother couldn't wait to ask.
Lao Dou was very angry and cursed at the second brother: "I blame you for being a loser. The older you get, the more valuable you are. What a piece of shit."
"You old man, please don't tell me that you failed to find a job. We didn't even go to work just to wait for news about you." Hearing Old Dou's tone, he knew what was going on, but the second brother still asked without giving up.
Old Dou’s face was charred and his head was dizzy with anger. He went to apply for a job today, but he was not even allowed to enter the company. Although Ajuan didn't apply for the job, she finally got in for an interview. That's why he was so angry, he almost lost his face.
"Abba, don't be angry, it's fine if the director doesn't do it." Boss Guang comforted him at the right time.
"If you're not angry, you're lying. That lousy company has no courtesy at all. Even if he comes to invite me, I won't go." Lao Dou said angrily: "That manager is so salty. Yes, my eyes lit up when I saw the big girl, and I came to pick her up at the door. What about me? I couldn't even get in. "
Kang Qirui shook his head and said, "Forget it, old man. Dou, if you didn’t apply, you didn’t apply. The family is not waiting for you to go out to work and have dinner. Why are you so tired?”
"Do you think I'm doing it for money? I'm just using my spare energy, do you understand? Do we old people have to eat and drink at home and wait to die?" Lao Dou did not admit that he was interested in the financial director's annual salary, but he also had his own A set of rhetoric. And I have to say, he does have a point.
"Old Dou, didn't you tell him that you are the famous God of Wealth Kang?" asked the second guy.
"Cai, you are a dead man." Old Dou rolled his eyes at the two men. If you tell me whether the God of Wealth is healthy or not, wouldn't you laugh it off? "I asked the front desk, and they said they only recruit people under the age of sixty. Even if you say that you are the king of heaven, I can't do it."
The second guy was surprised, "Then you are a few years older. Isn’t it 500,000? Don’t you say that the older the accountant is, the more valuable he is?” At the retirement age of sixty, please pack your bags and withdraw." Ayao, the veteran section chief of the unit, knows best about this one-size-fits-all approach.
"As the saying goes, all efforts are in vain, and the accountant is also sad about his age." The second brother made a concluding speech.
Speaking of this, Lao Dou became even more angry, "What kind of world do you think this is? I am subject to age discrimination when traveling, and now I am subject to age discrimination again when I go to Yingping as the financial director. Now I have experienced our kind of Because of your age, you can only queue up.”
“Abba, where do you want to queue up?” The boss was the only one who didn’t understand what Lao Dou meant.
Lao Dou didn't expect that someone would ask this question himself. He was stunned for a while before angrily saying: "Big chimney!" The boss didn't know how to respond.
The second guy had a weird idea: "Speaking of which, Old Dou, if you don't say you are sixty-eight when you apply for a job today, but say you are fifty-eight, I think you will definitely be able to do it. Apply for the job.”
"You need to register for an ID card. Do you think you just casually say how old you are?" Lao Dou shook his head, thinking that the second brother was crazy.
“You also said it was written on the ID card. Won’t you write it again?” The second guy said something that shocked the whole audience. Can you write the information on the ID card yourself? ?
Everyone criticized the second brother one after another, but Lao Dou, the person involved, thought it was reasonable. He also gave an example and said: "There was a man named Hua Touwen in our previous unit. He was still a man in his sixties. The accountant was supposed to retire like this, but he went back to his hometown and wrote a certificate saying that his age had been reduced by two years, making him fifty-eight, so it was best to hire an accountant. So A Zong made sense. "
The second brother saw that Lao Dou also supported his idea, so he became even more bold: "So Lao Dou, why can't we do it if others do it? That's five hundred thousand. We will go back to our hometown tomorrow. Are you going to ask your uncle to change it?”
“No, no, how can you change your age casually?” Kang Qirui firmly objected.
"Why can't you change it casually? How did Lao Dou's colleague change it? How did those athletes change it? I can do it as well. What are you afraid of?" The second brother thought that his idea was right. Passionately opened the microphone and said: "What if you are discovered in the end? If you cheat for a year, you will get 500,000 yuan, if you cheat for half a year, you will get 250,000 yuan. If you don't make such easy money, it will be like lightning."
Lao Dou seriously thought about the consequences of changing his age, shook his head and said: "No, I am a law-abiding person, and I cannot do such illegal things." Although he was very moved after hearing what the second brother said, he was also very scared. "Old Dou, who can't die, even if I catch you and put you in jail, what if I give you a life sentence? How many more years can you stay in jail?" The second brother's words made Old Dou so angry that he raised his hand and wanted to hit him hard. After the slap, he dodged and continued: "And you are already this age, which prison will accept you? Think carefully about what I say, Old Dou."
Old Dou In the end, he was persuaded by the second brother, and he agreed to go back to the village committee with the second brother tomorrow to ask his uncle to write a certificate to change his age. Kang Qirui and the boss even tried to persuade him for a long time, but they were still kicked out of the room by Lao Dou. . "Forget it, boss, Lao Dou won't listen anymore. Just let him hit the south wall." Kang Qirui also had nothing to do with Lao Dou.
The boss Guangya nodded helplessly, Lao Dou would not look back until he suffered a loss.
Early the next morning, the second brother drove Lao Dou out without even eating breakfast. They went straight to his uncle's house but did not find him. After asking, they found out that his uncle was at the ancestral hall, so they turned around and headed to the ancestral hall at the entrance of the village.
"Great uncle, do you still recognize me?" Lao Dou and his second brother walked into the ancestral hall and saw their uncle and several villagers drinking tea. They walked over and sat down to say hello.
"I've had enough. Have you eaten?" My uncle was a little deaf and didn't hear what Dou said, but he was still very polite.
Lao Dou and the second guy looked at each other, and Lao Dou said again: "Uncle, my name is Zhu Dachang." Lao Dou said his nickname, and this was the first time the second guy heard about Lao Dou. There is also such a nickname that makes me laugh.
"Pork intestines? Pig intestines are delicious. Stir-fried pig intestines with soybean sprouts is my favorite thing to eat." My uncle was not only deaf, but he also seemed confused and the chat was not on the same channel at all.
Old Dou had no choice but to talk about a lot of things from his childhood in an attempt to arouse his great-uncle's memory. After talking for a long time, his great-uncle nodded and said, "Oh, Pig Intestine. I remember. Your nickname is Pig Intestine because you are born in the Year of the Pig." Yes, I am also a Pig, I am 12 years older than you."
"Old Dou, it seems that my uncle is not completely ignorant yet. I still remember that he is twelve years older than you." The second brother whispered. He said something to Lao Dou, and then said to his uncle: "Uncle, you are mistaken. I, Lao Dou, was born in the year of the Rooster and was born in the year when I took away the carrot head."
"No. No, your grandfather is born in the Year of the Rooster, and your Old Dou is in the Year of the Pig." My uncle recalled it, and emphasized: "It is impossible that your Old Dou was born in the year when Carrot Head was taken away. What your Old Dou said just now. He even avoided Carrot Head when he was a child."
The second guy glared at Lao Dou, blaming him for talking nonsense. The second brother bullied his uncle for being ignorant and said harshly: "Uncle, you heard me wrong. My old Dou didn't say anything about hiding from carrot heads just now. You believe me, my old Dou is really a chicken."
< br>The second brother's insistence finally made his uncle believe his lies, so he took Lao Dou and his uncle to the village committee to find the village chief to write a certificate.
"Village Chief, I used to be very familiar with you, Old Dou. You, Old Dou, are great at catching fish. You can catch raw fish and water snakes in just a short time in the water." After everyone got to know each other, Old Dou began to make favors.
The village chief interrupted him, "Uncle Kang, you are getting further and further away. You are looking for me just because of your age, right?"
"Yes, yes, you know. There was a war in the past, so I wrote it wrong when registering for residence. I originally wrote it as 35 years instead of 45 years. If you don’t believe me, you can ask my uncle. "Old Dou?" He didn't even blink when he talked about panic.
"Village chief, pig intestines belong to pigs, not chickens." My uncle said, that's how ignorant people are. Sometimes when you wash his hair, he turns around and forgets to restore his original hair. Got it.
The second brother quickly shouted: "It's wrong, it's wrong, my uncle and grandpa, didn't I just say it right, he is a chicken." The two quarreled again.
After hearing this for a while, the village chief became impatient. He slapped the table and said, "Okay, okay, my head is getting big from the noise. Whether you are a pig or a chicken, you are not the only one who has to eat and poop. Kang Bo, you Why do we have to change this age?”
Lao Dou told the reason he had discussed with the second brother: “Village Chief, I am already so old and ready to queue up at the big chimney. I don’t want to be reincarnated if I die. If I fall down there, what if King Yama sees that my information is not right and refuses to let me be reincarnated as a ghost?”
Although this is the reason? It's very outrageous, but people born in Lao Dou's era were indeed very superstitious, so it makes sense. "Okay, okay, I'll write it to you now. After you get the certificate, go back and don't argue here." The village chief didn't know whether he believed Lao Dou's lies or simply didn't want to hear the second brother and his uncle arguing, so he nodded. I agreed to give Lao Dou a certificate.
