At the age of 17, he won the top science in the college entrance examination and embarked on the road to Tsinghua University
In 1991, 17-year-old Zhang Xiaoyong took the college entrance examination. He was very smart since he was a child, and he studied very hard Xi, and his parents and teachers had high hopes for him. Before the college entrance examination, Zhang Xiaoyong repeatedly conducted mock tests, and his results were among the best all year round.
On the day of the college entrance examination, he walked out of the examination room with confidence, waiting for a good result of his own.
A month later, the results of the Hunan Provincial College Entrance Examination were announced, Zhang Xiaoyong excitedly searched for his name, and when he saw the information that the total score of science was 538 points, and the top science student in the Changsha County College Entrance Examination, he was so excited that he couldn't speak.
This is not only the glory of Zhang Xiaoyong, but also the pride of the entire family. The parents were ecstatic, and many neighbors in the town came to congratulate them.
With his outstanding achievements and excellent comprehensive ability, Zhang Xiaoyong got his wish and entered the coveted Tsinghua University, majoring in biological science and technology, and wanted to become an excellent scientist.
During his days at Tsinghua University, Zhang Xiaoyong Xi studied diligently, joined the scientific research team, and cultivated his scientific research ability. Seeing their son dancing in a top school, the parents are sincerely proud and grateful.
Procter & Gamble's work is dull and helpless, and his parents are sick and helpless
In 1996, Zhang Xiaoyong graduated from Tsinghua University and wanted to continue his studies and make great achievements in the field of scientific research. However, the country implemented a "dual-track system" at this time, and Zhang Xiaoyong had to change his original plan and choose social recruitment.
He took a fancy to Procter & Gamble, a Fortune 500 company with scientific research strength, and wanted to develop in relevant departments.
Unexpectedly, after joining the company, Zhang Xiaoyong was assigned to the customer service department, and the work content was single and boring. Faced with various complaint calls every day, his scientific research dream has nowhere to be realized, and he feels that his future is bleak.
Zhang Xiaoyong applied for transfer many times without success, and he was depressed.
Just when Zhang Xiaoyong was at a loss, his father suddenly suffered a stroke in 2001 and couldn't take care of himself. My mother was already weak, and now she was unable to take care of her alone.
When Zhang Xiaoyong heard the bad news, he immediately submitted his resignation to the company, bought a return ticket and returned to his hometown.
As soon as he returned home, Zhang Xiaoyong saw that his home was in a mess, and his parents' haggard appearance made his heart like a knife. Over the years, he worked hard and saved some savings. But I didn't expect that my parents were sick and the medical expenses were extremely expensive, and I soon spent all my savings and fell into trouble.
Zhang Xiaoyong blamed himself and was heartbroken.
He returned to his hometown to find a job to support his family, and eventually became a security guard
After quitting his job and returning to his hometown, Zhang Xiaoyong began to look for a job. But there is no market for biotechnology in his hometown, and the job he can find cannot take care of his parents.
Zhang Xiaoyong tried to do sales in a real estate company, running around with all kinds of entertainment, and was tired of running for his life. He couldn't stand the torture of having to take care of his sick parents when he returned home.
After several rounds, Zhang Xiaoyong found a job as a security guard in Changsha. It's a humble job, but it's stable, has regular working hours, and most importantly, frees up time to care for your parents.
When Zhang Xiaoyong made a decision, his father was heartbroken, and his mother didn't say a word, but he had no way out and could only choose to bear the disappointment of his relatives.
In 2008, Zhang Xiaoyong came to interview for a security job with his resume, and when the person in charge saw his Tsinghua graduation, he immediately shouted insults at him for falsifying. Zhang Xiaoyong didn't explain, and silently took out his academic certificate.
After the person in charge saw the truth, his face was ugly as if he had eaten a moth, and he lowered his head in embarrassment.
Since the day Zhang Xiaoyong became a security guard, he began to guard day and night. At first, his colleagues envied and despised him, but it didn't take long for them to be impressed by his work ability and style.
Zhang Xiaoyong devoted himself to this job, just for his family to live a good life.
The security work is stable and contented, and he is quietly looking down on fame and fortune
Although the job of security guard is hard for Zhang Xiaoyong, it is stable, free time, and most importantly, the salary can support the family. Outside of work, he also spends a lot of time taking care of his sick parents.
There is no future in this job, but Zhang Xiaoyong's heart is unprecedentedly satisfied and steadfast.
In 2013, Zhang Xiaoyong self-taught to obtain the qualification certificate of property manager, relying on his own efforts and strength, he was soon promoted to the director of the customer department. This job does not require running around and toiling, and it is easy to visit the community every day and help residents solve some problems.
Zhang Xiaoyong's work ability and handling of people have also won the love and admiration of all owners.
Zhang Xiaoyong no longer cares about fame, fortune and status as before, and lives peacefully and indifferently. Many of his Tsinghua classmates have already achieved fame, but Zhang Xiaoyong did not dare to attend the class reunion, for fear of being asked about his current situation.
He often comforts himself, his family is safe and healthy, and his own happiness is the most important thing.
The winged bird lives hand in hand, and the ordinary life is content and happy
Over the years, Zhang Xiaoyong got married, had children, and formed his own small family. His wife wholeheartedly supported Zhang Xiaoyong's decisions and took care of his elderly parents with him.
After work, Zhang Xiaoyong washes and cooks, accompanies the children to grow up, and enjoys happiness with his family.
On weekends, Zhang Xiaoyong will take the family on an outing to relax. Looking at the happy smiling faces of his wife and children, he will secretly rejoice how correct his choice was in deciding to go home to his husband and children.
Although his life is simple now, Zhang Xiaoyong feels extremely satisfied and happy.
Zhang Xiaoyong no longer has the pursuit of fame and fortune back then, and he no longer has regrets for life. His talented classmates have a great career development, and Zhang Xiaoyong is sincerely happy for them.
He learned to reconcile with himself and live the ordinary but fulfilling life he now has, with no other luxuries.
