Lin Chen, a 35-year-old programmer in Shenzhen, is called into a conference room by HR on an ordinary workday. He's being laid off, and the news hits like a bolt from the blue.
After ten years at a major tech company, where he was once a key member of the technical team, he's now being “optimized” out because of his age. With 300,000 yuan in savings, a monthly mortgage payment of 12,000 yuan, and a family to support, this middle-aged man gets a taste of life's bitter realities.
The resumes he sends out vanish without a trace, and an interviewer's words, “It's tough once you're 35,” cut him to the quick. On a balcony late at night, he gazes at Shenzhen's dazzling skyline, lights a cigarette, and falls into thought: should he accept his fate, or fight back?
A chance encounter introduces him to Web3 and AI. While others mock him, saying, “Old dogs can't learn new tricks,” he studies through the night, weaving his dream of a comeback with code. The AI investment system he develops himself earns him tens of millions in crypto; with his skills, he returns to a top tech company, T Company, as a technical leader earning a million yuan a year.
But this is only the beginning. He uses AI to transform traditional restaurants, turning his nephew's little shop into a chain empire; expands into international markets, dazzling the world with Chinese technology; and ultimately achieves financial freedom, elevates his family, and reaches the pinnacle of life.
This is an epic tale of turning around a midlife crisis, and a dream-making legend for ordinary people in the age of AI.
Age is never the end. Technology is the timeless ticket in. When fate closes one door, learning opens up a whole starry sky for you.
Food and grass, a rare quality product in workplace literature
The writing is very good. Although some of it is incomprehensible, it is consistent with real life. Come on.
Although it is an AI article, some chapters are not connected, but you can read it by skipping it.
This book is well written and has a strong sense of immersion. This paragraph repeats what AI wrote, but you didn't pay attention to change it.
The description of the psychological process of finding a job again is very touching!
The author is forcibly using lies to cover up the cruelty of the truth
To be honest, this book is very well written. Although it has flaws, I can fully see the protagonist's clear growth path and have a strong sense of immersion.
A very good book
Hahahahaha, the employees of T Factory are very involved, especially in the canteen. Unfortunately, now that we are on the island, we can no longer eat from Sinovac Michelin.
🤭🤭🤭 A pretty good book
