Chapter 430: Okay
Although they don't know who this young man is, Da Liu and Xiao Wang don't think it has anything to do with them, and their thoughts are very simple: if they have this idle effort, they might as well wash two more cars - the two have been in the United States for a while, and they know too well how rare this opportunity to work part-time at Fernandez is.
But sometimes it's so magical, Da Liu and Xiao Wang felt that the person who came had nothing to do with them, but things came to the door: Chen Geng came directly to Da Liu and Xiao Wang.
This is actually easy to understand, no matter who it is, it is not easy to see a compatriot in a foreign country, of course, they will happily go forward to chat a few words.
Looking at the young man who came to him and had a good relationship with Mr. Joshua, Da Liu and Xiao Wang were subconsciously a little nervous, but seeing the other party's yellow skin and soft facial lines as themselves, and most importantly, the smile on the other party's face was full of kindness, the two of them suddenly settled down a lot.
When Chen Geng stretched out his hand to Da Liu and Xiao Wang, it was in Mandarin that made the two of them feel particularly cordial: "I'm so happy to see my compatriots here, I don't know what to call the two of you?"
In a strange place, the same skin color and the same mother tongue are the most able to bring strangers closer to each other, listening to the familiar Mandarin in Chen Geng's mouth, which does not have the slightest stiffness of foreigners, the tension in the hearts of Da Liu and Xiao Wang suddenly relaxed, and hurriedly stretched out their hands: "My name is Liu Xiangqian, this is my classmate Wang Fusheng at the University of Michigan, and we are also very happy to meet you, this comrade...... What do you call it, sir?"
For his school, Da Liu is still quite complacent: although the University of Michigan is still a little behind the world's top universities such as Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, it is also one of the top 30 universities in the United States, known as the "Gregorian Ivy League", and the University of California, Berkeley, UCLA and the University of Wisconsin-Madison and other famous universities represent the highest level of public universities in the United States, and he can be admitted to the University of Michigan, which is his greatest pride.
"Oh, my name is Chen Geng. ”
"Chen Geng?" Xiao Wang subconsciously turned his head to look at Da Liu: "Da Liu, why do I think this name is a little familiar?"
“......”
Da Liu didn't speak, he was stunned: Chen Geng?!
Of course, he knows the name, and he knows what it means: the youngest billionaire in the United States, the boss of AMC, the four major American automakers, and a nationally renowned patriotic Chinese...... There are too many names on this Mr. Chen Geng, too many to count, and even the reason why he and Xiao Wang were able to get this precious opportunity to study in the United States is thanks to this Mr. Chen Geng, if he hadn't set up a fund to fund Chinese students, he wouldn't have been able to come to the United States to study.
Thinking of the fact that he had just shown off his study to the other party, Da Liu's face turned red all of a sudden.
Looking at Da Liu's cute expression, Chen Geng immediately smiled, he waved his hand and said, "The University of Michigan is a very good school, huh...... Look at your appearance, you should know who I am, well, when you go out, everyone is compatriots, I won't say it politely, you should probably also know that I haven't embarrassed us Chinese in the United States, so if you encounter difficulties, what can I help, everyone open their mouths, be polite, everyone is Chinese, and it is appropriate to help each other outside. ”
“......”
Da Liu and Xiao Wang nodded desperately with red eyes, and couldn't say a word: to put it mildly, this person in front of him can be regarded as his great benefactor!
is different from those ethereal promises, the two can see that Chen Geng is serious when he says this, and also, if he doesn't really want to help himself, why does Chen Geng spend so much money every year to help everyone study abroad?
In the end, it was the older Liu who had a better ability to control his emotions, he took the lead in controlling his mood, and said to Chen Geng gratefully: "Mr. Chen, what did you say...... We are all embarrassed, we are studying and living well in the United States, much better than in China, and we can eat meat every day! I don't know what else, but several of our University of Michigan classmates are very content with the current conditions, and everyone said that they would like to take a moment to thank you and invite you to have a meal."
Speaking of this, Da Liu suddenly thought that the Mr. Chen Geng in front of him was the youngest billionaire in the United States, so could people lack his own stutter......ing?
"Okay," before Da Liu finished speaking, Chen Geng nodded with a smile and said, "I like others to invite me to dinner the most, when are you going to invite me?"
Hearing his boss's answer, Joshua's eyes were about to pop out in surprise: When did his boss talk so well?
Others don't know, Joshua still doesn't know, with his boss's current value, status and influence in Detroit and even the entire state of Michigan, not just anyone is qualified to invite their boss to dinner, the state legislators, the officials of the state government are about the same, and the main officials of the city halls are barely qualified, as for the city councilors......?
But now, two international students who can be seen everywhere can get such an opportunity?!
Joshua's heart was filled with envy.
“......”
Da Liu and Xiao Wang didn't expect Chen Geng to agree, the two of them paused for a moment, then nodded heavily and vigorously, and then cautiously tentatively said: "That...... Do you want to see next Monday line? next Monday night. ”
"Next Monday?" Chen Geng thought about it, and next Monday he didn't seem to have a big deal, so he nodded: "Cheng, no problem, then it's decided." ”
Da Liu and Xiao Wang were immediately overjoyed.
Chen Geng casually asked, "How is it? Do you feel tired from working here? Does the shadow affect your studies?"
"Not tired!"
"It doesn't affect at all, it's just a car wash, and it's 4 dollars an hour, where can I find such a good job?"
After realizing that Chen Geng was not as lofty and arrogant as the big people he had seen, Da Liu and Xiao Wang were relieved and finally less nervous.
But Chen Geng's brows furrowed suddenly: "Four dollars?"
The U.S. government stipulates that the minimum hourly wage for workers is $4, that is, in addition to those black factories, the minimum wage that a company can give workers is $4 per hour, based on a 5-day work week and 2 more days per month, the salary of a worker with the lowest monthly salary is $702, which translates to an adult salary of about $8,400 or more - a bit low, but it is understandable why the average annual salary of Americans is more than $9,000 and less than $10,000, isn't it? There always has to be a lower value to be pulled up the average.
But Chen Geng is a little different here, in order to take care of his compatriots, he deliberately made a rule: any student who comes to work part-time, as long as he has a student ID to prove that he is a student, can get a part-time hourly wage of $5.
The reason why there is such a rule is to take care of their compatriots - it is definitely not okay to only provide such a part-time hourly wage for international students studying in the United States, and it is easy to be sued by the dissatisfied Lao Mei on the grounds of discrimination, but if everyone's part-time hourly wage is like this, then there is no problem, and no one can say anything.
"Yes, $4 is completely in accordance with the regulations of the US government," Da Liu nodded again and again, looking extremely contented: "Working here, I can earn almost $400 a month." ”
Da Liu is indeed very content.
In China, even a 10-year-old worker's salary is only more than 30 yuan a month, and at the official exchange rate, it is only a dozen dollars, but he can now earn more than 400 US dollars a month, in addition to his own necessary expenses, he can save almost 300 US dollars a month.
$300 is almost equivalent to three years of a worker's salary...... It would be even more exaggerated if it was calculated at the exchange rate of the black market...... Compared with those compatriots who had to brush dishes until the middle of the night in order to live after going abroad, and did not earn more than $100 a month, what is there to be dissatisfied with?
Da Liu was very happy, but Chen Geng's brows were slightly wrinkled, and he turned his head to look at Joshua.
Although Chen Geng's gaze was not very harsh, Joshua suddenly shuddered!
He was already crying: what the hell was going on, what was wrong? Why did these two fellow bosses only take four dollars an hour when it was $5 an hour?
He was just about to speak, but Chen Geng glared at him fiercely, and then said to Da Liu and Xiao Wang with a smile: "Since this week, it's already five dollars an hour, didn't your team leader tell you?"
"Is there such a thing?" Da Liu looked confused.
"No, I don't. Xiao Wang also looked confused.
However, while being confused, the two of them were more happy in their hearts: since Chengen said that it was $5 an hour, it was definitely $5 an hour, and they didn't run!
Thinking that they can earn almost $100 more a month in the future, the two of them are happy.
"Oh, maybe your team leader forgot to tell you," Chen Geng nodded, as if he had said something very small: "Joshua, go back and post a notice at the door, telling the students who come to work part-time that their hourly wages will be adjusted to five dollars an hour in the future." ”
"Good...... Ok ......"
Joshua's voice sounded like he was crying.
........................
"Let's talk about it. Chen Geng's expression was very calm, and he didn't look like he was angry.
"I ...... I don't know what's going on," Joshua was about to cry, as an old subordinate who had been with Chen Geng for almost three years, he knew too well the temper and temperament of his boss, and he knew very well that if he didn't handle this matter well, he would be unlucky, but the problem was that he really didn't know what was going on: "I'm paid to everyone according to the standard of five dollars an hour, boss, you have to believe me......"
When Da Liu said that his hourly wage was $4, Joshua was already stunned: hell, $4?!
As a person who started a business with Chen Geng, Joshua knows very well how much his boss values these part-time workers, the boss said that the hourly wage of part-time workers is five dollars an hour, and he is indeed paid according to the standard of five dollars an hour, why did it become $4 when it came to Liu and Wang?
He didn't suspect that Da Liu and Xiao Wang were lying, the two had been working part-time here for more than three months, and their humility and diligence were appreciated by almost everyone, but if it wasn't for the problems of Da Liu and Xiao Wang, then ......
Joshua's eyes turned red, and he suddenly thought of the problem!
"Pound, Pound, boss, Pound is the leader of the third group......"
Bond?
Chen Geng was stunned for a moment, and then breathed a sigh of relief: As long as this matter was not Joshua's doing, it would be fine.
He's a nostalgic person, and if it was really Joshua's doing, this guy would be too disappointing, but if it was a guy he hadn't heard of a name...... Well, that's for the best.
"Are you sure?" Chen Geng stared at Joshua: "Are you sure you are clean in this matter? It has nothing to do with you?" Joshua, for the sake of you being by my side from the beginning, I will give you a chance. ”
What chances?
If this incident had anything to do with him Joshua, now that he honestly admits it, Chen Geng will treat it as if this incident had never happened...... But there will never be a second chance to be forgiven in the future.
Joshua also knew this, and even more so much about how rare this opportunity the boss gave him, he immediately raised his fingers, cursed and swore: "Boss, you know, I'm a black man, I'm looked down upon by those white people every day, and the ones I hate the most are those damn racists, I swear to you, with my mother, My grandmother and my family's honour swear to you that I really don't know anything about it, and that when I pay those part-timers, I really pay them five dollars an hour. ”
After knowing what the problem was, Joshua finally relented.
Chen Geng nodded, pressed the button of the intercom Comrade Aniston, and asked her to bring the guy named Pound over.
————
Joshua also knew this, and even more so much about how rare this opportunity the boss gave him, he immediately raised his fingers, cursed and swore: "Boss, you know, I'm a black man, I'm looked down upon by those white people every day, and the ones I hate the most are those damn racists, I swear to you, with my mother, My grandmother and my family's honour swear to you that I really don't know anything about it, and that when I pay those part-timers, I really pay them five dollars an hour. ”
