C121 – Forever Unemployed

The reason why He Yishu had linked all the members of the company of the person who had chosen the second option was naturally not to really spill over to the innocent but rather to give these people a chance to self-sacrifice.

 

Since they were able to justify He Yishu standing up for self-sacrifice and taking on everything in the previous incident, then when they encountered something similar, it was assumed that they must also have a very high level of awareness and take the initiative to stand up and give themselves up, right?

It was for this reason that He Yishu added a three-day deadline so as to give these people enough time to sacrifice themselves.

 

After this post appeared, it immediately caused a heated discussion on the virtual network.

 

Passerby #1: Rune Card Big Brother is simply heartless, sick, and crazy! I can’t even think of such tactics; I can only frantically call him Big Brother!

 

Passerby #2: This is the way to go for those who are selfish and think only of their own interests and impose their will on others! I’m in favor of Rune Card Big Brother!

 

Passerby #3: Although I think those people are really over the top, it’s a bit too much if it involves the whole company, isn’t it?

 

Passerby #4: Upstairs, did you miss the details? If Big Brother really wanted to let those people be punished together, would he still need to leave a probation period of three days? Big Brother is obviously forcing those people to leave their jobs voluntarily.

 

Passerby #5: Upstairs, it’s called “do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” Previously, they asked the innocent Mr. He Yishu to come forward for self-sacrifice in such a righteous manner, and now that the matter has come to them, they will surely be happy to volunteer for self-sacrifice, right?

 

Passerby #6: In fact, these two things are not exactly the same; after all, Rune Card Big Brother is really innocent; he obviously didn’t do anything, but he was forced by so many people to come forward, and he was also asked to sacrifice himself. But the reason why these people ended up in such a situation is completely self-inflicted, and no one can be blamed.

 

Passerby #7: So where are all those people who were coming forward in a righteous manner? I just want to ask: Does your face hurt now? Is it swollen?

 

……

Of course, there were also people who stood out in annoyance because they had been added to the blacklist and went even further to chastise He Yishu, but they were quickly disliked by countless people and could only run away in disgrace.

 

And in the next three days, a very similar scene was staged in countless companies; those who were blacklisted by He Yishu, whether actively or passively, all left the company and lost their jobs in the span of three days.

 

This matter made their hearts suffocate to death, especially when they left the company. Those undisguised comments with ridicule, as well as eyes full of sarcasm, were like a needle sticking in their hearts and like a slap, making their faces hot and painful.

 

However, at this point in time, they hadn’t really realized the seriousness of the problem because they thought that even if they lost a job, they could still find a better one.

 

What they never expected was that when they started looking for a job again after this incident had subsided, they realized that things were far from being so simple.

No matter what kind of job they were looking for, whether it was a job that required strong specialized skills or a very common job that didn’t require special skills, they would get the same answer: “Sorry, although you have a lot of work experience and your work ability seems to be very strong, we can’t give this job to you because I can’t guarantee that, in this company, anyone won’t wish to learn how to make Han character cards. We may choose to be self-sacrificing, but we are not forcing anyone else to sacrifice their right to pursue their own work for your own personal work issues. Do you not think so?”

 

Such words were not so much a rejection as it was a deliberate attempt to humiliate them now, yet in the face of such results and humiliation, they could only grit their teeth and suffer in silence.

 

After countless frustrating job searches, they finally realized that what they had lost was not just one job opportunity but all the job opportunities in their lives.

 

It wasn’t until this time that they really realized what a stupid thing they had done before and what price they would have to pay for it.

It wasn’t until this time that they finally felt deeply sorry for this. Unfortunately, everything had already happened, and even if they felt sorry for it, it was impossible for them to change anything.

 

At that time, these were all afterthoughts. Three days later, the military department arranged for He Yishu’s assistant to verify the work situation of the blacklisted personnel one by one, and after determining that all of them had already left their previous jobs and had not found any new jobs, this matter was considered to be over for the time being.

 

As for He Yishu himself, he was now in the office of the dean of the first academy, but this time, he didn’t receive an invitation from the dean, but rather, he went there on his own initiative.

 

The dean personally poured He Yishu a cup of water, then sat down across from him and spoke with a smile, “He Yishu, may I ask what it is that you came to see me about today?”

 

“There is indeed a very important matter that I want to discuss with the dean.” He Yishu picked up the cup of water and took a sip, speaking in a light tone, “Dean should have seen the post that I released earlier, right?”

 

The dean raised an eyebrow and frankly nodded and admitted it, “I did see it; to be exact, I saw it at the very first moment because I’ve been very concerned about this matter.”

 

“Does the dean think that I went too far?” He Yishu didn’t directly state the purpose of his trip but instead extended the topic as if making small talk.

 

The dean was silent for a moment, then frankly stated his attitude: “Personally, I don’t think your approach is excessive. I actually like this attitude of dealing with things; it’s both frank and forceful.”

 

“Thank you; I think so myself. It’s just that the number of people on the blacklist increased so much at once, making me slightly bitter.” He Yishu smiled and shrugged.

 

“But there are more people who support you out there, so you don’t need to feel bitter.” The dean’s voice had a little more of a teasing tone to it as he lowered his voice. “To tell you the truth, I’m also among the people who support you.”

 

“I’m really happy that the dean said that, so as one of the people who supported me, what does the dean think I should do to return the favor?” He Yishu raised an eyebrow in mock surprise, then inquired.

 

This question was something that the dean didn’t expect, and after thinking for a moment, he honestly gave his own answer: “I don’t think that the people who chose to support you in this matter would want to get anything in return from you.”

 

“Bad people should be punished, and good people should be rewarded accordingly; this has always been a very simple truth.” He Yishu obviously also knew that when these people chose to support him, the vast majority of them didn’t think about the issue of reward, but as the person being supported by these people, He Yishu felt that he had a good reason to seriously consider this question. “If you want a person to do good things all the time, there are often two ways to do it. The first way is to let him know that he will be punished for doing bad things, and the other way is to let him truly experience that if one does good things, there will be good rewards.”

 

These words were unexpected by the Dean, who thought hard about them, smiled rather approvingly, and said, “You have a very good point, and it would be a very pleasant thing indeed to receive a good reward for one’s good deeds; so what are you going to do about it?”

 

“I do already have my own ideas, but the prerequisite is to get the dean’s support, and that’s exactly the main purpose of my visit over here today.” After a whole lot of idle chit-chat, He Yishu finally stepped into the main topic, “I hope that the dean can do me a favor and create an additional course in the first academy called the Han Character Rune Card Major.”

 

If He Yishu’s previous words only made the dean feel a little surprised, then the matter he proposed at this time was enough to make the dean feel shocked: “Han character Rune card Major? You mean…”

 

“Yes, I hope that I can bring a little return to these people who have supported me, but apart from Han character rune cards, it seems that I don’t have any other skills that I can show off.” He Yishu sighed first, clearly feeling some regret over this.

 

In fact, He Yishu had even thought about whether or not to gift each of these people a Han character rune card before, but then he denied his idea; after all, he had only just sold five Han character cards at a sky-high price before, so if he were to gift them on such a large scale like this now, it would undoubtedly be slapping his own face.

 

Of course, such an approach was also very unkind, and he’d feel sorry for all the credits that had already been pocketed by him.

 

Under such a premise, He Yishu carefully discussed this matter with Adrian again before coming to the conclusion of opening a Han character rune card major.

This was actually in conflict with He Yishu’s previous intentions, but it was more conducive to him realizing the interstellar popularization education of Chinese culture as soon as possible.

 

The reason why He Yishu changed his plans so easily did have something to do with the fact that he felt he had already made enough money to do whatever he wanted to do, but a more important reason was that he had already discovered another direction for the expansion of Han character rune cards.

 

Applying the Han character rune card to human mental energy, or even the human body, would be an even more enlightened and unconstrained direction of research, but it would obviously also bring about an even greater impact on the development of mankind.

 

Back to the main topic, although He Yishu had already made such a choice, opening a well-established major was obviously not a trivial matter; it required enough preparation time as well as sufficient manpower and material resources, and it would be very difficult if He Yishu was left to accomplish it on his own.

 

In this situation, He Yishu naturally thought of the dean of the first academy; as the dean of the Capital Star’s first academy, he was obviously the most suitable to help himself with this favor; at the same time, this matter also had great benefits for him; for the first academy, it was a complete win-win decision.
