If life had a starting line, someone was born in Rome

Chapter 285 The beautiful world is right in front of us, but no one notices our existence (-in-)

In the curious eyes of everyone, Luo Dongshan smiled:

"Isn't it just a visit to the workshop? What's the big deal? Let's go!"

With that said, he took his head and walked towards the outside of the office.

Zhang Yunshu quickly stood up and followed Luo Dongshan.

Sun Wei and Wu Peng followed closely behind, with expressions of excitement and anticipation on their faces.

After walking out of the office and walking under the eaves, everyone clearly felt the quietness of the entire factory.

Although people were coming and going, you could see smiles on everyone's faces, but no loud noises.

It was this that made everyone realize that Tengfei's factory was different from other places.

After walking down the gentle ramp, everyone entered the workshop.

What comes into view is the scene of workers busy.

Zhang Yunshu and the others have never been to a factory workshop and have no idea what a normal workshop is like.

But everyone can see that these machines in production are very complete in terms of height and safety facilities.

Audiences in the live broadcast room will understand this if they have spent time in a factory.

"The height of the quality inspection table has been lowered to facilitate staff with leg disabilities."

"I used to wonder what the employee who lost his hands could do, but now I understand."

"The crawler speed has also been adjusted. Factory Director Luo really thinks about the workers."

"Such a costly transformation...what made Director Luo decide to do this?"

"Yeah, I don't think any entrepreneur wants to recruit people with disabilities from the beginning. Why would he do that?"

"The reason behind the same curiosity."

"..."

The audience's comments were noticed by director Liu Yong.

He quietly pulled Zhang Yunshu aside and whispered:

"Yun Shu, the Internet is very curious about Factory Director Luo and the employees here."

"If you have the chance, you can ask everyone about this."

Zhang Yunshu blinked his eyes and said with a smile:

"Actually, I'm also curious. It's a small matter, so I'll keep it under wraps."

As he spoke, Zhang Yunshu raised his head, looked around the workshop, and suggested:

"Director Liu, I will discuss with Teacher Lin and Factory Director Luo to see if we can do a small interview directly. If you are curious, just ask, do you think this would work?"

When Liu Yong heard this, his eyes lit up:

"Yes, why am I telling you secretly? Just ask, go ahead!"

"..."

Zhang Yunshu scratched his head and walked to Lin Feng and Luo Dongshan who were talking:

"Teacher Lin, Uncle Luo, I'm sorry to excuse you."

Luo Dongshan, who was discussing technical issues with Lin Feng, raised his head with a confused look on his face:

"Ah? What's the matter?"

Zhang Yunshu repeated what he had just said to Liu Yong.

After Luo Dongshan listened, he waved his hand:

"As for the employees, as long as they are willing, I definitely have no problem with it."

"But I am a bit busy now, eager to discuss technical issues with your teacher Lin.

"In this case, you leave Teacher Lin to me, and go communicate with the employees first!"

Hearing this, Lin Feng was helpless and could only smile:

"You should communicate with the employees first, respect other people's privacy and wishes, and don't stalk them."

Zhang Yunshu nodded:

"Understood, I am a measured person!"

When the audience in the live broadcast room saw this scene, their eyes lit up.

"Interviewing workers? OK, I want to know how their experiences are different from those of us able-bodied people."

"I also want to know why they are disabled...forget it, this is probably a question they don't want to hear."

"I'm a doctor. I can tell that several of them have polio and one has cerebral palsy."

"Huh? Cerebral palsy?! Doesn't cerebral palsy mean a fool? I don't see anyone who can't do their job."

"Cerebral palsy is an abnormal development of some areas of the brain. It does not mean that you are unable to work."

"Really? I'm even more curious about everyone."

"Jiayi, hurry up and start the interview!"

"..."

Amid everyone's discussion, Zhang Yunshu looked for a suitable interviewee.

Sun Wei and Wu Peng were also by her side to assist her.

However, it seems that all the workers are busy with things on their hands, and they are really embarrassed to interrupt.

Wu Peng had an idea, pointed outside the factory and said:

"There are also workers outside, shall we go out to look for them?"

Zhang Yunshu slapped his forehead and insisted on looking for it in the workshop. Isn't this stupid?

"Okay, let's go outside and take a look."

The three children and the photographer ran outside the workshop.

When leaving the house.

Lin Feng glanced at the backs of several children.

Seeing Liu Yong and the others following them, they were relieved and continued to discuss technical issues with Luo Dongshan.

Zhang Yunshu and the others ran outside the door and saw a man wearing a shirt and trousers.

But the person was in a wheelchair, rocking the wheelchair towards the workshop.

Sun Wei patted Zhang Yunshu's shoulder and whispered:

"This uncle looks gentle and gentle. How about interviewing him first?"

Zhang Yunshu nodded:

"I think it's okay."

As a result, the children hit it off and ran towards the man in the wheelchair.

Cao Liang had long seen these three children with the photographer behind them.

However, he didn't know what was going on with the children running towards him, so he stopped the wheelchair for a moment.

Wu Peng ran the fastest and was the first to rush in front of him.

"Hello, uncle! My name is Wu Peng. We are doing a program now. Can you please interrupt me for a while and interview you?"

Sun Wei and Zhang Yunshu also arrived on the back foot.

After the two introduced themselves respectively, they stared at Cao Liang eagerly.

Cao Liang looked at the camera behind the three children and smiled friendly:

"The interview is not impossible, but Director Luo is waiting for me, maybe ten minutes? Is that enough?"

ten minutes?

Zhang Yunshu nodded:

"That's enough, that's enough. Let me make it simple."

Sun Wei smiled and added:

"Uncle, if you are asked a question you don't want to answer, you can just refuse to answer."

Wu Peng cupped his hands and said sincerely:

"If there is anything inappropriate, we will apologize to you first."

The three children have no experience in dealing with people with disabilities and are worried that they will say the wrong thing.

Therefore, let’s emphasize the premise first.

Cao Liang looked at the three polite children and felt a little appreciation in his heart. He nodded immediately:

"It's okay, feel free to ask."

Zhang Yunshu first asked his first question:

"Uncle, what position do you work in now?"

"Workshop director."

Cao Liang replied with a smile:

"In charge of equipment and safety."

The three children looked at each other, but they didn't expect that they would catch a workshop director!

Wu Peng said even more quickly:

"Are you the workshop director? No wonder you look so elegant and bookish."

After finishing speaking, he scratched his head and his mind followed behind his mouth:

"I don't have any bad intentions towards other workers..."

Sun Wei also quickly helped Wu Peng find compensation:

"Uncle, it's like this. The employment requirements for ordinary positions and the position of workshop director are different."

"Wu Peng was attracted by your temperament, so I want to ask."

"What school did you graduate from?"

Looking at the anxious child, Cao Liang waved his hand and said comfortingly:

"Don't be nervous, I understand." "My alma mater is an ordinary undergraduate school, and I majored in mechanical manufacturing."

“Being lucky enough to serve as the workshop director of Tengfei Factory is partly due to my professional background.”

"And...you're lucky, right?"

Lucky? ?

The three children looked at each other, a little confused.

Is it because as a disabled person, the path to education is more difficult than for others?

That’s why there’s the word lucky?

Zhang Yunshu thought so, so he asked:

"Uncle, when you were studying, were you different from other classmates?"

"So, you would use the word 'lucky' to describe yourself?"

When Cao Liang heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly, patted the wheelchair under him, and said with a smile:

"You are overthinking it. I am actually disabled after birth. There is nothing special about my academic career."

what? !

The three children looked at the smiling Cao Liang and felt a little unbearable.

However, it was more curiosity mixed with apprehension.

Why is this uncle disabled?

Why are you lucky to work at Ascendas?

But, if you ask...

Isn’t it just about uncovering people’s scars?

Can I ask?

Just when the children were struggling, Cao Liang had already noticed it and said directly:

"I was disabled because of a car accident that injured my spine."

"The reason why I say I'm lucky..."

"After the car accident, I was seriously injured. I lay in the ICU for more than a month before I narrowly escaped death."

"what?"

When Wu Peng heard this past incident, he opened his mouth in surprise:

"Has the perpetrator been punished?"

Cao Liang nodded:

"Of course I was punished accordingly, and then I also received compensation from the insurance company."

Wu Peng looked at Cao Liang and thought to himself.

If it were him, no amount of compensation would be worth the ability to stand!

At this time, Zhang Yunshu asked Cao Liang again, saying:

"Escape from death is indeed lucky..."

"But, uncle, you were working before the car accident, right? How did you come to Tengfei?"

Cao Liang shook his head and said with a smile:

"For people like us who are born healthy but later disabled, escaping from death is really not a big blessing."

"Actually, coming to Tengfei is my greatest luck."

As soon as these words came out, the three children became excited and stared at Cao Liang with burning eyes.

Facing the children's eyes, Cao Liang said calmly:

"After I was discharged from the hospital, I discovered that because I had been absent from my job for a long time, my original company had hired someone to replace me."

As soon as these words came out, Wu Peng's eyes flashed with anger:

"Ah? Isn't this taking advantage of others' danger?!"

Sun Wei and Zhang Yunshu also nodded, feeling that Cao Liang's previous company did something wrong.

However, Cao Liang waved his hand and said to the three of them:

"Actually, I can understand that the company needs to run, and it is impossible to wait for me with an empty position."

"I just thought, you can give me a different position."

"However, the company is now talking to me about my resignation."

"They thought my body no longer met their hiring requirements and wanted to fire me."

Hearing this, Wu Peng's fists clenched.

Cao Liang continued to say unhurriedly:

"I didn't suffer a loss either."

"For humanitarian purposes, the company gave me an additional two months' salary compensation in addition to the highest requirements of the law."

Zhang Yunshu said weakly:

"So, you took the money and left?"

Cao Liang nodded.

The three children were silent.

According to the law, the company gave the maximum compensation for dismissal.

Yu Qing gave me two more months of salary compensation.

This matter can be handled well, I really can’t fault it!

Even Cao Liang, no, they all agree that if the company wants to operate, it is impossible to allow a certain position to be vacant for a long time...

But why does this sound so frustrating? !

What's wrong?

At this time, Cao Liang's voice rang again:

"I had just been discharged from the hospital and my health was unstable, so I took the money and returned home to recuperate."

"After a year of rehab, I feel like I'm almost ready to go back to work."

"Just sort out your work experience and resume and start applying for jobs."

"As everyone knows, this is the beginning of my hell career..."

When the three children heard this, their hearts tightened.

Just listen to Cao Liang say slowly:

"The pain in my body and the fact that I am disabled do not defeat me."

"Because I believe that as long as people are alive, there is hope."

"Moreover, this car accident only took away my ability to stand and walk, but it did not take away my knowledge or ability."

"I feel like I can still stand up mentally with my abilities."

“But when I was looking for a job, I found that the knowledge and abilities I thought were of no use at all.”

“When all companies saw that I was disabled, they immediately rejected me.”

"Everyone agrees that I am physically disabled, so I will have a lot of inconveniences at work."

"I don't even have a chance to try..."

Cao Liang remembered the past and smiled bitterly:

"This is the real purgatory, spiritual purgatory."

"I feel like I live like a shadow in the sun."

"Obviously the beautiful world is right in front of us, but no one notices my existence, and no one needs me."

"This feeling of being ignored rips at my heart all the time."

"I even hate myself for being too tenacious in life, and imagine how simple it would have been if I had died directly under the wheel."

Hearing Cao Liang's inner monologue, the three children felt distressed and silent.

They know where they felt aggrieved before——

Obviously he still has the ability to participate in social collaboration.

There is also the will to realize the value of one's life.

However, society no longer accepts disabled people!

Just like you don’t see disabled people when you go out, it’s not because there are no disabled people in the city, or there are very few disabled people.

But, they can't get out.

On the most basic blind road, there are obstacles everywhere.

Not to mention, the rarely seen disabled bathroom.

And, there are tall and steep stairs everywhere...

For people with congenital disabilities.

They have been living in such an environment and may have become accustomed to or even acquiesced that they are not valued.

However, for people like Cao Liang who have acquired disabilities.

The world seemed to have suddenly torn away its disguise, revealing its most cruel side.

He could speak out and wanted to speak out, but he was muffled by invisible hands.

Therefore, he suffers.

And those disabled people who have been silent do not know that they can speak out!

They don't even know what pain is.

At this moment, the three children truly realized:

What exactly are the disabled people facing?

This is different from what I took for granted before, the natural compassion for the disabled.

Completely different!
