Homo sapiens

A metropolitan area in the south of XX.

a fringe suburban town

The sun is scorching hot in July.

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, 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 Fat House 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 checkout 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 Fat House 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.

A red paper advertising a popular shop for rent was posted on the door.

'closed? It’s so delicious that it’s normal to close the door. ’ He paused for more than ten seconds, his eyes slightly dazed.

After attending college, he chose to stay and work here.

It was relatively smooth at the beginning, and 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. Starting from 2020, the studio's business orders became less and less, and several previous partners also had internal differences. In June 21, they finally parted ways.

He also moved from the bustling urban area to a suburban town with cheaper rent. 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, Illustrator, 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 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 "The Past and Present Life of Li Qingye and Homo Sapiens Company".

Click on the video.

He watches videos not to be interested in international events, but to increase his knowledge so as not to lose touch with society.

At the age of thirty.

An awkward and helpless age.

He is legally a young person and a middle-aged person in the eyes of ordinary people. He doesn't know when this kind of age will pass.

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 the face were like thousands of ravines on the high slopes of 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 comics...

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 (immediate family members need to go to the Southeast Asia headquarters to work together). 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. After all, this has forced America to retreat.

Although Homo Sapien Company claims to accept all migrant workers, it does not reject all comers.

First of all, individual migrant workers are not accepted, they must work as a family unit.

Secondly, they cannot have any behavior that harms Homo sapiens company, or they cannot make any remarks that discredit the company, and they cannot have a specific criminal record.

Finally, there is the special review by the Human Resources Department of Homo Sapiens Company, which is actually a secret investigation by the Field Division.

Since Homo sapiens opened channels for migrant workers, 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 to apply for jobs.

The quality of migrant workers in East Asia is pretty good, but there are a lot of problems with the labor force in South and West Asia.

For example, there are self-destruction soldiers with evil intentions, and their families are controlled by gangs, intending to let young people work in Homo sapiens companies, and then the gangs will require these people to send money back continuously, or simply become intelligence pawns of all parties.

This kind of screening does not make the field division feel troublesome, but rather enjoys it.

For example, a dozen hyenas from Samode were controlled by the field division and transformed into soldiers.

There are also those gangs who want to kidnap family members and threaten migrant workers, but they are directly followed by the field business 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 openly.

However, this kind of thing does not affect ordinary people.

The number of migrant workers from all over East Asia who go to work for Homo sapiens companies 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 are not willing 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 Company, the usual process can be divided into three stages: probation period (six months), internship period (six months), formal period - natural employees, and undisclosed formal period - new human employees .

If you are a new human employee (lurking outside), you can directly skip the probation period and internship period and become a new human employee in the official period.

For those who don't have much ambition and want to live a decent life, choosing to work at a 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, Homo Sapien Company has no intention of bringing capital into the group. The company's original shares have only one owner from beginning to end, and that is Li Qingye.

Since there is no way to invest in Homo sapiens company.

Then many people will not choose to join the Homo sapiens company.

Many of the people who come to work at Homo sapiens companies are young people from ordinary families.

Thank you for your support (ω｀). I’ve been having a hard time these past few days. It’s so uncomfortable. There are some typos that I can’t correct in time. Please bear with me!
