502: The world I wish for

Shu Lingyun: "..."

The staff behind her: "..."

Is this a live broadcast accident?!

As soon as Qian Ziyong spoke, the live viewership ratings soared.

Countless people called their friends.

"Brother, hurry and watch! Qian Ziyong is on the news live, and what he’s saying is very direct; he’s talking about rectifying the business world!"

"Not just rectifying the workplace, but rectifying the entire business world!"

"It’s so exciting, so overbearing!"

"No one has ever dared to answer questions so domineeringly. Qian Ziyong is saying whatever he thinks, not holding anything back!"

Many people started turning on their TVs, which they hadn't used in years.

There was also a live broadcast online, and many people took out their phones to watch directly on them.

Those video platforms have their own algorithms; seeing such high popularity for this live news broadcast, they immediately promoted it across the entire platform.

Soon, many people were watching Qian Ziyong's interview on their phones and TVs.

The photographer could see the backend data, and seeing the viewership ratings soar, the photographer's body trembled.

This was the fastest data surge he had ever witnessed in his career.

Shu Lingyun continued to ask, "President Qian, what are your plans for the future?"

Qian Ziyong asked, "Are you asking about myself, or Feihuang Group, or this world?"

Shu Lingyun said, "Any of them."

Since any was acceptable, Qian Ziyong said, "I don't have many plans for myself; just marry a virtuous wife and have a few mischievous children."

Shu Lingyun nodded, Qian Ziyong was finally being normal.

Although this was just a common person's thought, it was still a relatively normal one.

Qian Ziyong continued, "And then, research medicine that makes people live longer. I don't want eternal life or immortality; just not dying isn't enough. I also need to not age, preferably staying eighteen forever!"

Shu Lingyun: "..."

Are these the words of a human being?

You are a boss, an entrepreneur!

This is a live broadcast! A live broadcast!

I asked about plans, not dreams!

Qian Ziyong continued, "As for Feihuang Group's plans, I think Feihuang Group can go global!"

"Establish a Feihuang Group Branch in every country."

Shu Lingyun smiled and said, "President Qian, you have such grand ambitions to develop Feihuang Group globally."

Qian Ziyong shook his head, "You're wrong. I don't have grand ambitions; I want to open Feihuang Group all over the world so that I have a place to stay when I travel the world."

Shu Lingyun: "..."

Shu Lingyun had a speechless expression.

No wonder the internet says people can't keep up with the pace of the post-2000s generation; their thinking is too uninhibited, isn't it?

The audience watching the live broadcast were all laughing hysterically.

Especially when they saw Shu Lingyun speechless and not knowing how to respond, they were even more delighted.

Someone sent a bullet comment, "President Qian is truly too honest; he says whatever he thinks, without any pretense!"

Another post-2000s audience member excitedly sent a bullet comment:

"Yes, President Qian is from the post-2000s generation; he's still young. If all of us young people were mature and stable, doing everything by the book, would we still be considered young people?"

"I think Qian Ziyong is very normal. Who doesn't want to live forever? The richer one is, the longer they want to live. Qian Ziyong just said what they wanted to say but didn't dare to!"

"President Qian is too straightforward, too real; I love him to death! From now on, I am President Qian's loyal fan. Compared to those celebrities in the entertainment industry, President Qian is more worthy of our admiration!"

Many viewers had a good impression of Qian Ziyong's authenticity.

Nowadays, many people act one way to your face and another behind your back.

In front of the camera, they pretend to be so positive and upright, just to build up an image.

But actually, behind the scenes, sigh... their private lives are chaotic, simply unbearable to look at.

Inside the conference room, Qian Ziyong continued to be interviewed.

Shu Lingyun said, "President Qian, you really are good at joking."

After saying that, she waited for Qian Ziyong to continue.

"Oh, where was I just now?"

"Hmm, it should be my plans for the world."

Qian Ziyong thought for a moment and said, "I think the world should be where people who are willing to shine and contribute, work hard to shine and contribute, benefiting the entire world."

"And those who are unwilling to shine and contribute, who just want to live their own small lives, should live their own small lives."

"This world is too oppressive to ordinary people, oppressing those who are content with being ordinary."

"I think this is wrong!"

Shu Lingyun was somewhat curious, "President Qian, do you mean that the lives of ordinary people should not be as they are now?"

She didn't understand?

Qian Ziyong nodded, "It shouldn't be like this!"

"Our labor costs are too cheap!"

"Whereas in many foreign countries, labor is very expensive."

"When labor is expensive, things become cheaper."

"I believe that a family of five should only need one person to work hard to support the whole family."

"But the reality is that even a family of three, with two people working, many families are just struggling!"

Shu Lingyun didn't know what to say.

She knew these things too.

As a reporter, her job was to understand the truth of matters.

Don't be fooled by short videos now, where it seems everyone can earn millions.

In reality, many people only earn three thousand a month.

How many years has it been since wages increased?

And money is becoming less and less useful.

A cup of milk tea costs twenty yuan; a day's wages are only enough to buy five cups of milk tea.

Qian Ziyong said, "If a person doesn't work hard and doesn't earn money, that's one person's problem."

"If most people are caught in internal competition and can't earn money, whose problem is that?"

"I don't know."

"This is not the world I expect."

"The world I expect is one where a person only needs to work six hours to live very well."

"Perhaps not becoming rich and famous, but the most basic happiness should be attainable!"

"Even in the animal kingdom, no animal needs to hunt twelve hours a day to feed itself!"

"Even cows work half a day and rest half a day."

All the ordinary people watching fell silent.

Yes!

They called themselves oxen and horses, but in reality, neither oxen nor horses are used all day long.

Which horse pulls a cart all day?

Which ox plows the field all day?

But they do; people working twelve hours a day are everywhere.

Most importantly, even with such work, they can't afford a house, and the money they save all year is only enough for medical treatment!

This world shouldn't be like this.

But they had already grown accustomed to it.

It seemed as if the world was supposed to be this way.

It had always been this way...

Why, despite working so hard, did their lives show no improvement, just a struggle?

Why was life so difficult, just to survive took all their strength?

Shu Lingyun asked, "President Qian... do you think the world should be like this, which is why Feihuang Group gives such high salaries to its employees, making it the industry's ceiling?"

Qian Ziyong shook his head, "No, the wages I pay are not high."

"The wages I pay are just normal prices!"

"They are what they should have had in the first place."

"I think it can be even higher; they deserve higher wages and better benefits."

Shu Lingyun hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are you saying that Feihuang Group will increase wages again in the future?"

Qian Ziyong nodded very affirmatively, "That's right, Feihuang Group will increase employee wages again, by at least another 50%. That's reasonable!"
