"Huh? You two sisters are going to be raised by others?" Zhu Xuefeng was a little surprised. What kind of family could make such a decision? It seems that this powerful man put great pressure on their family.
“Well, my sister is prettier than me. She is also studying here, majoring in journalism. She is still waiting for me at home. If she can’t go back today, she will probably be anxious to death.”
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Seeing that the little boss seemed to be interested, the woman knew that this was a rare opportunity and quickly gave a brief description.
It turns out that the head of the family is her grandfather, and his father is the eldest son of the family. Because of the feud between the family and a certain big family, the young people in the family have no chance to study in big cities, so the family can only grit their teeth and send them to Overseas, there is now a letter from the family, saying that they met a noble man for help and the feud was avenged. In order to repay this noble man, the grandfather asked the two daughters to help him raise children. Their parents did not object, but the two sisters who had received higher education for three years abroad did not. Happy.
"No matter how much grandpa insists, my sister and I will never agree to this bizarre marriage. Mr. Zhu, will you help us?"
The woman's attitude is very firm. , but his expression was still full of expectation. Zhu Xuefeng could see it, but he still continued to ask.
"Since your grandpa said you are a noble person, you should also be rich and powerful. You are really willing to endure hardship here instead of going back to be a rich wife. Many girls would envy this kind of life."
The woman shook her head, "I don't know what kind of delusion this noble man poured into Grandpa, but my sister and I want to make our own decisions in life matters. We don't envy wealth. We are confident that we can create a future for ourselves. "
Zhu Xuefeng nodded. He had decided to give the two sisters some help. This kind of thing is indeed a bit excessive. It seems that it is not a good thing for a powerful man to force two women. , studying law and journalism, which seems to be useful for my career in North America.
"Okay, tell me, how can I help you?" Zhu Xuefeng didn't think that it would be too shameless for this woman, who obviously has a strong sense of autonomy, to come to the door in the middle of the night just to find financial help. If so, Zhu Xuefeng would be indifferent. Thoughts of help.
"I heard from Brother Jiang that your company has many great products. Even Happy Coke is your company's product. It's amazing. You want to build branches on the east coast. I don't know that my sister and I Can I do an internship in your company?"
He glanced at Zhu Xuefeng and quickly added. "Don't worry, if we are not up to the task, you can ask Brother Jiang to send us away directly. We will have no complaints. We just ask that you give us a chance to be self-reliant."
As expected, the woman's words further confirmed his belief. Judging from the woman, she is a self-reliant and self-reliant woman who deserves help. Although the woman was asking for help, she seemed neither humble nor overbearing. This kind of woman would definitely be able to accomplish something great.
"Then what kind of positions in the company do you two think are suitable for you?"
"Boss, I study law. I want to help the company's legal department and learn by the way. My sister is studying journalism. Do you think she can help in the company’s publicity department?”
Zhu Xuefeng thought for a moment, but nodded in agreement. "I have no objection. I agree in principle. You can let Manager Jiang make arrangements."
The woman stood up happily after hearing this. The boss made the decision without carefully understanding their academic status. This was something she didn't expect. She quickly thanked him and immediately changed her title to "boss".
“Thank you boss, we must be worthy of your trust. I heard that you are going to rent a villa tomorrow. I can accompany you. I studied law and have a deep understanding of the legal provisions here. I can help you You provide certain legal assistance."
Looking at the excitedly blushing woman, she exuded a light of confidence. It seemed that she was very confident in her profession, Zhu Xuefeng said with a smile.
"You need a lawyer to sign a lease contract here. You haven't graduated yet, and you probably don't have a lawyer's license. It doesn't seem possible."
The woman's face suddenly turned red, and as she rolled her eyes, she seemed to have it again. idea.
"Boss, the landlord of the house we rent is a lawyer and a Chinese. We can ask him to accompany us."
"Oh, is there such a coincidence?" Zhu Xuefeng asked with a smile.
“I’m not going to lie to you. There is a Chinese residential area here. The whole street is full of Chinese. The house we rent is right there. The landlord is a part-time lawyer. He is responsible for all the legal disputes in the whole street. He is very experienced in handling it."
Seeing the woman's face flushed and trying to describe the lawyer's impressive achievements, Zhu Xuefeng thought of something and said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, I believe it. By the way, what's the name of the bad guy who forced you to marry? Who is that powerful man? Where is your home? Don't let me offend you by being confused. People, I don’t know who I’ve offended yet.”
Yang Lei then became a little uneasy and hesitated.
“We came out three years ago, and we have never met this powerful man, but our grandfather said he was not a bad guy, but a great hero. In less than two years, he gave our family hundreds of dollars in reimbursement. After years of blood feud, his status is beyond words. Now he is in charge of our hometown. He is said to have done a lot of good things for the benefit of the people. He doesn’t sound like a bad person.”
“I’ve never met you. Are we going to force you to be young? ”
Zhu Xuefeng was very surprised and thought that the other party was interested in seeing the woman. A pair of beautiful twins indeed had more than double the temptation for men. Just like Erya and Sanya, they were a little distracted for a while.
Yang Lei glanced at the young boss strangely, who seemed to be distracted, and answered honestly.
“We haven’t met. My grandfather said that he hasn’t gotten married yet. Maybe he has seen photos of our sisters. Now the family members who have studied in North America and Great Britain and worked are all being invited back, saying that they are Help this person build our home.”
It seems that this family is quite powerful and can send so many descendants to study abroad. Zhu Xuefeng is also a little curious about this nobleman who has not yet married. I thought he was a middle-aged man, but it turned out that he was not married yet, was he married? Zhu Xuefeng seemed to realize something and asked again.
"Big wedding? The other party is very noble? Not an ordinary dignitary? Where is your family? I'm really curious."
Faced with Zhu Xuefeng's series of questions, the woman seemed a little hesitant. It seemed that there were some questions that she wasn't quite sure about, so she hesitated for a while before explaining.
"My grandfather said this, saying that the other party's status is very noble. He didn't say it too specifically. He only said that if my sister and I get married, even if we are young, we will be princesses in the future. As for our family , the family has asked us to swear not to disclose it casually, but if you want to know, I can also tell you that our family is inherited from..."
Seeing the woman say this, Zhu Xuefeng had to stop her, there is no need to let her know. People broke their family vows. There were too many old family rules, and Zhu Xuefeng didn't want to cause trouble. As for the noble person the woman was talking about, Zhu Xuefeng also made a rough judgment. He was most likely the heir to the royal family of a small country. There are still several small royal families like this in Southeast Asia.
This man probably already has his own fiefdom and is waiting to succeed, but he doesn’t know which country it is. He doesn’t care about those small countries, but he didn’t expect this. The woman I met by chance had such an extraordinary background, and the vague aura of nobility in her body was clear. The family heritage that had been passed down for thousands of years was indeed profound.
As for the old man of the family, it seems that he is betting on the family and wants to be completely tied to the chariot of the heir. Zhu Xuefeng is not interested at all in this kind of grievances and palace battles between wealthy families, and he has no intention of getting to the bottom of it.
"Okay, since it's inconvenient, don't say it. It doesn't matter. It's getting late. Tomorrow we will ask Manager Jiang to make arrangements for you. Do things for me in a down-to-earth manner. There is no need for this kind of thing. If you think about it again, if you are still worried that it is not safe to ask Manager Jiang to change your job in another city after graduation, I don’t believe that your family can come all the way here to find you.”
Meet this young boss. She didn't seem to care about the other party's identity, and she already acknowledged that her two sisters could continue to work in his company after graduation. The woman breathed a sigh of relief. When Boss Zhu asked about it just now, she was a little worried, worried that the young boss would change because he didn't want to cause trouble. idea.
But if someone wanted to help her, it would be inappropriate not to tell the truth. Fortunately, the young boss seemed to have guessed something and did not let her reveal the family secrets. Moreover, she also agreed to help her. The woman was very happy and stood up quickly. , looked at the little boss with a red face, and finally bowed respectfully and saluted, and then left happily.
A Ford car was speeding along the seaside road. Zhu Xuefeng looked at the time and saw that it was already past nine o'clock. He had been driving for more than forty minutes and had not yet arrived at Yang Lei's residence. This was a bit strange. Too far.
"Boss, we'll be here soon, in ten minutes at most."
Yang Lei also saw her boss checking the time from time to time and explained quickly.
“Traveling so far to work? Is there no place nearby where I can work?”
Yang Lei explained sheepishly, “Boss, we can’t help it. There are very high requirements for studying abroad and working here. "Strict."
Zhu Xuefeng understood a little. Later generations had heard that there were many requirements, but he didn't expect that the management was quite strict now.
"Tell me briefly, what are your requirements?" Since Zhu Xuefeng agreed to Jiang Fangzhou recruiting two people to work, he had to consider this. Don't violate local laws in a daze, as it would be worthless.
As a law student, Yang Lei is very clear about these requirements.
“For international students here, if they want to work to meet their living expenses, there are only two ways. One is to work off campus, and they need to apply for a special work permit. The application conditions include holding legal student status and being enrolled for more than 9 months. , grades meet the general standards, etc. The time limit for off-campus work is 20 hours per week, which can be increased to 40 hours during holidays. It should be noted that the company where you work must be recognized by the Immigration Bureau or the Ministry of Labor. ”
"Oh, I understand, KFC meets the requirements, right?"
Yang Lei nodded, "Yes, there are actually many job opportunities in the Chinese area, but they have not been registered with the Immigration Bureau and the Ministry of Labor. I learned I don’t dare to take risks like this.”
“What’s another way to work?”
Zhu Xuefeng was worried that recruiting these two people would cause trouble to his company, but he couldn’t help but ask.
“There is also an internship and work permit. International students can also conduct off-campus internships or work through internships or internship permits under specific courses. These permits usually require that the internship or work content must be related to the student’s major or course "
"Oh, that means if you are engaged in legal work in our company, it is considered an internship?"
Yang Lei nodded, and Jiang Fangzhou also explained, "Boss, I want to arrange for Ms. Yang to do some supporting work with the lawyer in the company’s legal department, and her sister to do some external publicity for the company.”
Since Zhu Xuefeng agreed to help the two sisters, he naturally would not go back on his words, but he still wanted to know more clearly and avoid causing trouble to the company in North America. This was an important money bag.
“Have you consulted the relevant legal advisors to see if there is a risk of illegal employment in this situation?”
“Don’t worry, boss, I already consulted the company’s legal affairs on the phone last night Consultant, these are all operable, and they are not illegal. However, these two positions involve the company's core secrets. They are core positions of the company. They are of great importance. It stands to reason that they must be investigated and screened according to the requirements of the head office. I have no right to do so. That’s what I said, so I asked Ms. Yang to ask for your opinion.”
“Boss, don’t worry, my sister and I will strictly follow the company’s requirements and will never reveal company secrets.”
As soon as Yang Lei heard Jiang Fangzhou's explanation, she immediately realized that there were some risks and quickly expressed her stance.
"Well, I believe you can do it. It should be here by now."
Zhu Xuefeng looked at an archway in the distance. It was so distinctive that it was impossible to admit it. The tall archway It stands right in front of the street, behind it should be the Chinese residential area that Yang Lei mentioned.
A few people parked their cars in an open space outside the street and followed Yang Lei into the street. Sunlight shines through the sparse clouds on the slightly old streets. On both sides of the streets, wooden buildings account for the vast majority. The development here seems to be somewhat out of touch with the outside world. The shop signs still retain the style of that era. Characteristically, the coexistence of Chinese and English fonts reveals traces of history.
Pedestrians wore the clothes of that era, most of the men wore suits and leather shoes, and the ladies mainly wore dresses, walking or riding bicycles, rushing through the streets.
Cantonese, Hokkien, and occasionally English conversations can be heard, showing the living conditions in a foreign country at that time.
In the snack bar, the steaming steamed buns, fried dough sticks and traditional Chinese breakfast exude the tempting aroma, attracting passers-by to stop and taste.
In the teahouse, you can also see many old people sitting together, sipping crude tea, chatting about homely things, and enjoying their leisurely morning time. They seemed to have found their own peaceful world in this small corner.
The stalls along the street are filled with fresh vegetables, fruits and seafood. The vendors use traditional weights to weigh the goods, and the voices of bargaining with customers come and go. There is a lively and energetic atmosphere permeating the market, like the epitome of a small town in the 1970s and 1980s.
"Miss Yang, wait a moment." Yang Lei was walking in front and was suddenly stopped by Jiang Fangzhou. She stopped and looked back, only to see that Boss Zhu had lost it at some point. Jiang Fangzhou pointed at it. Pointing to a small shop selling steamed buns not far away, sure enough, Boss Zhu was inside. (End of this chapter)
