Synopsis of the story "When the Wedding Ring Rusted in the Hidden Pocket of a Suit"
Zhou Yuan, a 45-year-old unemployed programmer, found a pawn receipt for his wife's mortgaged wedding ring in the secret pocket of his old suit. The "Survival Limit Formula" written in red on the back was like a blood stain on the fabric. When the enamel cup of the former "provincial champion" shattered on the mortgage note, and when Alzheimer's father used antihypertensive drugs as rocket fuel to feed fish, the dignity of this intellectual family peeled off into rust-colored fragments under the weight of reality.
On a rainy night when delivering food, Zhou Yuan used his greasy fingers to draw a heat map of the business district on the back of the receipt, and unexpectedly discovered that the "cellular grid distribution method" could increase efficiency by 40%. He hid his old mobile phone in a takeout box as a terminal, and rocket graffiti drawn by his son often popped up on the screen. The boy who was once laughed at by his classmates for "dad delivering takeout" wrote him in his composition as "a superhero who builds rockets with code." The mother, Shen Yuehua, concealed her uremic hemodialysis and used supermarket price tag paper to fold rockets and praise them as "my son's patent" to everyone she met. The origami paper was still stained with blood drops oozing from the needle holes.
When Zhou Yuan attended an industry summit with his algorithm, the HR of his former company ridiculed that "delivery people can't enter this building." The building's LED screen suddenly played a demonstration of his system optimized with food delivery data. At the signing ceremony, he took out a pen from the takeout box to sign, and in his suit pocket was a rocket folded with receipt paper. What's even more shocking is that he melted the "rust-colored tokens" crowdfunded by the unemployed (wedding rings, academic certificates, coded hard drives) into physical rockets. When launched, the tail flame showed the blue color of a takeout box, and the payload compartment contained resume chips of unemployed people over 35 years old.
