503: Chasing dreams

Qian Ziyong’s words filled countless viewers watching the interview with envy.

Feihuang Group’s salaries were no longer a secret; they were ridiculously high.

They were two to three times higher than those in the same industry.

But now, Qian Ziyong said he would increase salaries by another 50%!

What kind of concept was this?

It was rumored that Feihuang Group’s minimum salary was ten thousand yuan.

That was ten thousand after tax.

This meant that even with the lowest salary at Feihuang Group, a 50% increase would bring it to fifteen thousand.

Fifteen thousand?

Excluding a few first-tier cities, how many people could earn such a high salary?

And even in first-tier cities, the median salary was only a little over six thousand.

In Shen City, it was even just over five thousand.

This was the median, the salary of most Working people.

But these were first-tier cities!

How high was the cost of living in first-tier cities?

With a salary of five or six thousand, did one still expect to save money in a first-tier city?

A joke!

To save money with a five or six thousand salary, one could only avoid socializing, eat the cheapest food, and wear the cheapest clothes.

And what about the housing prices here?

Ten thousand per square meter?

No!

Fifty thousand per square meter!

Even if one didn’t eat or drink for a year, they could only buy one square meter.

Saving for twenty years would just about buy a shared area.

At a construction site in Shen City, a middle-aged man threw his hat to the ground and loudly declared, “I’m going to Han City, I’m going to join Feihuang Group!”

He then looked at the bento box in his hand: “Damn it, what kind of crappy bento box is this? It costs me fifteen yuan, expensive and unpalatable!”

“I’m going to Han City, to work for Feihuang Group, and to eat at Feihuang Restaurant!”

Inside a factory.

A young man was hiding in a corner, watching the live broadcast.

“What are you doing?”

“Playing with your phone during Working hours?”

“Two hundred deducted!” a middle-aged man said.

The young man looked up at the fat middle-aged man, took off his dust suit, and forcefully flung it at the middle-aged man.

“Deduct money! Deduct money! I work twelve hours a day, and my monthly salary is only five thousand!”

“Deduct your sister’s money, I quit!”

It was true that he was wrong to play with his phone.

But the other party only paid five thousand a month, made them work for ten consecutive days without a break, and twelve hours a day.

Why should he work diligently?

Did the boss treat those who worked diligently seriously?

Go to Feihuang!

Go to work at Feihuang!

Even sweeping garbage was better than staying here!

Even sleeping on the streets in Han City, waiting for an opportunity to join Feihuang Group, was better than wasting one’s life here.

Watching the interview live, countless Working people made up their minds at this moment: they must go to Feihuang.

Anyway, Working for anyone was Working, so why not go to Feihuang Group?

It was said that Feihuang Group was building factories and recruiting a large number of people!

It was said that Feihuang Group was going to develop Han City into a first-tier city in the country.

It was said that Feihuang Group’s minimum monthly salary was ten thousand.

It was said…

No matter what, let’s go and see!

The audience had a very good impression of Qian Ziyong.

Sincere!

Extremely sincere.

When talking about raising workers’ salaries, Qian Ziyong’s face was full of smiles, full of genuine smiles.

The live broadcast ended, and Qian Ziyong said a lot in the interview.

He spoke of his aspirations for the future, his aspirations for Feihuang Group, and told a dream.

A dream that ordinary people wished they could immerse themselves in.

Even knowing that the dream Qian Ziyong spoke of might never come true, they were still willing to sink into it.

And Qian Ziyong truly did it!

Feihuang Restaurant was now open all over the country.

Everyone knew that Feihuang Restaurant employees had a minimum salary of ten thousand.

No matter which city’s Feihuang Restaurant, the minimum salary given to employees was ten thousand.

Qian Ziyong not only said it but also truly put it into action.

After the live broadcast ended, someone left a message below the video.

“I’m in Magic City, and I want to escape this city.”

“One day, I was strolling through a mall, and the goods inside were so expensive I couldn’t afford them. Bored, I wandered around and came to the underground parking lot.”

“I was shocked to find that a parking space cost twenty-five an hour, and my salary was only twenty-five!”

“A parking space worked twenty-four hours, while I could only work a maximum of twelve hours.”

“That’s when I knew I couldn’t even compare to a parking space here.”

“I don’t belong here; here I’m not even an NPC, maybe just a random passerby A or passerby B.”

“I escaped. I’ll go to Feihuang first. If I’m lucky enough to stay at Feihuang, then I’ll settle down in Han City.”

“If I can’t enter Feihuang, then I’ll find a remote small city and live out my ordinary life.”

—Left by someone who didn’t want to be ordinary but eventually resigned themselves to it.

Many people deeply resonated with this message and liked the comment.

This comment was pinned, and many people saw it.

Countless people flocked to Han City.

Previously, it was construction workers who flocked to Han City.

But at this moment, countless people with dreams flocked to Han City.

Just like the great “going to sea” back then, they pursued hope, pursued dreams.

Perhaps the road ahead was rugged, but it was a path forward.

Although they were ordinary, they also had dreams.

Han City suddenly found that its population had increased even more.

Before, it was construction workers, countless workers.

But now, it was more young people, countless young people.

They came from all corners of the country, wanting to join Feihuang Group.

Among these young people, many viewed Feihuang Group like the citizens of Han City themselves, treating Feihuang Group as a belief.

No matter what the job, as long as they could join Feihuang Group, they would do it!

Whether it was sweeping, moving bricks, carrying goods, or washing vegetables, as long as they were allowed to join Feihuang Group, they would do it!

Even as temporary workers, as long as they were Working for Feihuang Group, they would do it.

Was Han City short of people now?

Not short, and short.

It wasn’t short of workers; there were millions of workers in Han City, so Han City truly wasn’t short of construction workers now.

But it lacked ordinary people to serve these construction workers.

Construction workers worked hard to add bricks and tiles to Han City, building roads and digging rivers.

But their living security needed people to provide it.

These young people could do it.

Countless young people entered Feihuang Group, becoming members of Feihuang Group, or temporary workers.

Those fortunate enough to join Feihuang Group, as rumored online, received a minimum monthly salary of at least ten thousand after tax.

Feihuang Group knew they had no place to live and arranged collective dormitories for them.

Although they were six-person collective dormitories.

But Feihuang Group promised that this was an extraordinary period, and there wasn’t enough space.

In the future, they would definitely provide them with double, or even single, dormitories.

They believed in Feihuang, they believed in Feihuang very much.

From the moment they arrived in Han City, no, from the moment they arrived in Wu City, they had a very good impression of Feihuang Group.

When they arrived in Wu City and left the train station, there were large groups of Feihuang Group staff and train station staff leading them to board buses heading to Han City, which departed when full, free of charge!

Along the way, countless buses could be seen, like a torrent, heading towards Han City.
