Chapter 1114 King of Scrolls, I am very good at Scrolls (Third update, please subscribe)
With the money just borrowed by his cousin in his hand, Song Yaozu stood on the shore of the pier and watched his cousin go At the cargo station, he walked up to the dealer and smiled softly, then took out his cigarette and lit it for him. Then the dealer generously waved his hand, signaling for his cousin to go back and continue carrying the sacks.
When my cousin went to carry the sacks, he waved to him and said:
"Did you see that, that's my cousin, a top student at the University of Hong Kong, who will be a barrister in the future. ”
Working as a coolie at the Hong Kong Island Pier is the first choice for many poor children from lower class backgrounds. Although there are now toy, plastic flower, clothing and other factories in Kwun Tong, North Point and other places, but Not many young people go to work in factories because it is harder to earn money in factories.
Hong Kong Island is not Nanyang. In factories on Hong Kong Island, it is normal to work for 13 hours. Although Nanyang's laundry has been hit, sweatshops are still very popular in many places because of the The product is cheap. As long as it is cheap, there is no need to worry about sales.
Besides, it is very convenient to export from Hong Kong Island to the UK.
Hong Kong people can endure it... In fact, those who can endure it are those who swim from the mainland. Those people are in good health and can endure hardships. They not only take the initiative to work overtime, but also like to cover shifts. When it comes to work, one person does the job of two, even if they work eighteen or nineteen hours, as long as they have money, they are still happy.
"From now on, they can only enter the factory."
Looking at his cousin and the others, Song Yaozu sighed, because of the emergence of containers - Hong Kong Island already has a container terminal. In the end, These dock coolies are all being eliminated.
Thinking of the articles he had read in the office, Song Yaozu understood that this was just a process.
After staying at the pier for a while, Song Yaozu walked slowly along the road. During this period, he also stopped to eat a rice roll in front of a street food stall and just sat on the street. In a daze, he would occasionally cast his gaze to the ground. There were still red firecracker fragments left over from the New Year on the street.
In this way, he stayed on the roadside until the evening, and did not set out to go home until after nine o'clock in the evening. If it were not for sleeping, he did not want to return to the shanty town. After all, that was where he had been. Commit to where you want to leave.
Waiting to return to the dilapidated and congested shanty town, there were only a few lights illuminating the roads in the shanty town at night. When people on the roadside saw Song Yaozu appearing in their sight, they would occasionally fight with him. Say hello, and then watch him walk towards his home.
Before Song Yaozu walked far away, someone here looked at him and whispered:
"It's a pity that Yaozi, the most eye-catching young boy in this street, has no future in the future!"
"It's just that it was not easy to provide a college student, but he just offended the boss. Now it's better, boss In a word, no law firm in Hong Kong dares to use him."
" Use him? Use him to contradict yourself? "
"This street boy is really unlucky. He is supposed to please the big boss, but he insists on contradicting the big boss... "
Listening to the voice behind him, Song Yaozu smiled coldly and just walked home.
After walking through the alley, before reaching the door of his house, Song Yaozu heard the sound of his mother arguing with others. He frowned and walked slowly over. Several neighbors were blocking the shabby wooden door of his house. I blocked my mother at the door.
"Sister-in-law Ling! No matter what, Yao Tsai has no job now, so the money must be paid back. I really need it urgently!"
A middle-aged woman said to her mother in a shrill voice Said:
"It is only natural to pay back debts!"
The mother immediately raised a high profile at her and suppressed the other party's voice:
"Ayun! Who took the initiative to enter my house, put down a hundred yuan, and said he didn't have to pay it back? It was all the neighbor's wishes. Wow, that's what you wanted."
"That's different, you guys Jia Yaozi has been fired, and the big boss has said that no one in Hong Kong dares to use him! Can you afford it, Mrs. Ling?”
Standing near the door of the house, Song Yaozu said Seeing these neighbors pressing for debt at his doorstep, a large part of his tuition fees were lent to him by his neighbors after they heard that he was admitted to the University of Hong Kong. Originally, they were counting on him to be able to graduate from the University of Hong Kong. I took care of them, but I never thought that I would offend my boss and lose my job all of a sudden.
Although it was very unpleasant for them to come to ask for debts, Song Yaozu was still very grateful for their help. After all, without their help, he would not have been able to graduate, so he walked up and said:< br>
“I will definitely pay back the money.”
"Yeah, Yao Tsai, no law firm dares to hire you now, how will you repay the money in the future?"
"That's right, Yao Tsai, I know you are smart and will definitely be promising in the future, but we are all poor people. , It’s not easy to save some money, we also have to give money to buy rice for our children to study!”
Song Yaozu glanced at the neighbors without saying anything, and took out a piece of paper from his pocket! , said:
"This is the Nanyang expatriate pass. Do you think I can pay you back?"
Everyone was speechless when they saw it... They can benefit the family. If you can cover the sky with only one hand on Hong Kong Island, can you still reach out to Southeast Asia?
Besides, it’s easier to make money in Nanyang!
Even if you work as a coolie, you can still earn several times more than in Hong Kong Island?
Nowadays, I don’t know how many people feel regretful just thinking about not going to Nanyang back then. Now even if they want to, they can’t go there.
Ordinary people cannot go to Nanyang, but the person in front of me graduated from the University of Hong Kong, so he can definitely go to Nanyang.
Isn’t this pass the evidence?
The faces of the neighbors who were originally asking for debt immediately changed and smiled.
“Oh, I know Yao Tsai is the most capable!”
“That’s not true. With this pass, it’s only a matter of time before he becomes famous...”
For a while, compliments rang out again, just like in the past. As for money, no one asked about it, and no one even took the initiative to mention whether there was enough money to buy a plane ticket. He also offered to lend him money.
Song Yaozu naturally refused.
He had some money, some savings, and some money borrowed from his cousin.
The only problem is - work. He needs to find a job within half a year, otherwise, he will have to leave Nanyang.
......
"Tang Daan Law Firm" is just across the street. In the five-story building, in the not-so-spacious lobby, there are signs of merchants, large and small. There are all kinds of small copper signs, most of which are companies.
When Song Yaozu went upstairs, Tang Daan had not come over yet, and the door of the office was locked. It seemed that he was performing a one-man show, but there were no clerks or receptionists that are standard for lawyers. All expenses. From the glass window, you can see a small office inside, with a signboard "Tang Daan Law Firm" hanging on the door frame next to it.
Go downstairs and wait for a while.
Going downstairs and standing under the shade of a big tree next to the street, Song Yaozu was wondering if he could find a job here. In the past three months, he had already found a job in law firms of all sizes. He contacted dozens of companies, but no one wanted to hire him.
“Something is wrong!”
Song Yaozu, standing on the roadside with a Nanyang Bactrian cigarette in his mouth, was a little confused.
"They say it's easy to find a job in Nanyang, but when I got there, I hit a wall. No one was willing to hire me."
Song Yaozu, who frowned, couldn't figure out why no one was willing to hire me. Be willing to hire yourself.
“Can it be said that even the Li family can reach out here?”
This is unlikely!
Although he was thinking this way, Song Yaozu was more worried that he would not be able to find a fixed contract job with a mid-line income in three months.
Mid-line income level, fixed contract.
All foreigners who obtain a pass as a "talented person" must find a job that meets this requirement within six months, and then submit it to the Immigration Bureau by their employer. After receiving a reply from the Immigration Bureau, they You can get a work permit.
The median income in Nanyang is 1,800 South dollars, while the annual income of new employees in Nanyang is only 1,500 Yuan, and the fixed contract means that various insurances are required.
These two requirements are actually the threshold for immigration. There is only one reason why someone is willing to hire a person with a salary that is 20% higher than the market - he must be good enough.
But this does not apply to law firms. The salary for new employees in law firms is 2,200 yuan!
I looked at my watch, it was already ten o'clock in the morning.
Song Yaozu went upstairs again. The office was already open. When he entered the office, Tang Daan was biting a piece of bread and writing something randomly in his hand. There was still a smell of coffee in the room, and there was something on the table. In the coffee cup is a cup of black coffee.
He took a look at Lawyer Tang. He looked in his early forties, but his hair was graying and he seemed to have dark circles under his eyes.
It seems like this guy is an overtime addict.
In an instant, Song Yaozu had a plan in his mind, so he stepped forward, introduced himself to Tang Daan, and took out his university diploma, lawyer qualification certificate, passport and residence permit.
"It is not easy to get into the Department of Law of the University of Hong Kong, and it is even more difficult to graduate."
Tang Da'an immediately smiled and said very kindly:
"There is no need to worry in Hong Kong Island The working income is not less than that in Nanyang, why do you want to come to Nanyang?”
I took a look at his residence permit. It has been three and a half months since he came to Nanyang, a top student in the Department of Law at the University of Hong Kong, and he still can’t find it. It is really rare that I can work in my small law firm.
But, what a talent!
If you can stay, then stay!
“I want to change the environment.”
Song Yaozu said.
"Lawyer Tang, when I was in Hong Kong Island, I was used to working overtime frequently. In Hong Kong Island, I worked more than 13 hours a day!"
How did he do it? Frowning?
As a lawyer, Song Yaozu was naturally very good at observing people's emotions. He thought to himself, could it be that he felt that I didn't work long enough?
“Of course, this is just a normal state. If there is a case, I can work for 18 hours. Moreover, I don’t have family or friends around me. I came to Nanyang alone, so I don’t need weekends, no. Need a vacation.”
What’s wrong with Lawyer Tang?
Song Yaozu noticed that the other party's expression seemed even more abnormal. What was going on?
"Lawyer Tang, please rest assured that my family members are all in good health. I will not let my family members' health affect my work, and I will not get married and have children in a short time. I will not let anyone Life affects work!
As long as you give me a chance, I promise to satisfy you with excellent work! Moreover, I am personally willing to cut my salary by about 15%, just to meet the mid-line income standard! "
Pursing his lips, Tang Daan frowned. He looked at the sworn young man in front of him, put his information on the desk, and frowned even more. Now he He already understood why no one was willing to hire him.
Seeing this, Song Yaozu felt a thump in his heart and seemed to understand the result.
Putting his hands on the armrests of the swivel chair, Tang Daan looked at him like this. The former young man heard him say at this time
“I understand, it’s a waste of your time, Lawyer Tang. ”
"Well, I'm sorry!"
Tang Daan looked sincere. In fact, he originally wanted to keep this young man.
Just as he was putting away the materials and preparing to leave, Song Yaozu hesitated and asked.
"Lawyer Tang, I have a question that I would like to ask."
"Say."
"Can I know, is it because I'm not good enough? None of you are willing to hire me?"
Looking at the confused look on the young man's face, Tang Da'an asked,
"We have Hatred?”
