Chapter 613: Comparative Damage
Maotou had never stayed in a hotel of this level, and he was able to come to China because of China's African strategy. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Naturally, there is no cost to go to school, and the government will also have a small monthly subsidy, although it is not much, but it is enough to feed a child like Maotou, who has been displaced since childhood.
It's a pity that this is almost a face-saving project, and after two years of study, whether they can stay or not depends entirely on their own ability.
Maotou didn't read anything since he was a child, and those two years of study were similar to listening to books for him, but he learned a Chinese that was not fluent but enough to communicate, but he didn't know English, otherwise he could at least find a job in an English training institution.
In such a situation, the Maotou visa cannot be renewed and can only return to Uganda. Fortunately, he met Shi Lei, who offered him an employment contract, which allowed him to return to Huaxia, which was like heaven in his eyes.
Staying in a five-star hotel, Maotou simply felt new when he saw everything.
It is no exaggeration to say that everything here is, in the eyes of Mao Tou, extremely expensive.
After he entered the room, he didn't dare to move, so he found a waiter and helped him turn on the hot water in the shower room, and he took the shower gel four or five times before he felt that he was already very clean and worthy of the cleanliness in this five-star hotel room.
Yu Yimin specially arranged for someone to stay in the hotel and wait for Shi Lei to arrive, and as soon as Shi Lei walked into the hotel gate, a soldier greeted him and politely told him that Yu Yimin arranged for him to wait for Shi Lei here.
"Uncle Yu is too polite, I'll just open a room by myself. ”
"The chief said that he must wait for you to return, and your friend has no contact information, for fear that you will not find him then. This is a good hotel key card for you, and your friend lives next door to you. ”
Shi Lei thanked the soldier, and the soldier said: "The chief said that he wants to invite you and your friends to have a meal in the evening, of course, you rest first, and he will contact you at about five o'clock in the afternoon." ”
Shi Lei knew that this was indispensable, so he was not polite and agreed.
The soldier said goodbye and left, Shi Lei went upstairs, walked to the door of Maotou's room, and he rang the doorbell.
Maotou quickly opened the door, smiled innocently, and said to Shi Lei with a twist: "Mr. Shi, I know that it is very expensive to live here, but don't worry, I will work hard in the future, and I will return all this money to you after I earn money." ”
Shi Lei entered the house with a smile and said, "It's okay, it's not my money anyway, don't think about it so much, we have to go to Wudong when we go back." Wu Dong, you know, right?"
"I know, I know, the Yangtze River Delta, the capital of Jiangdong Province, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. When I used to study in Lingdong, I also wanted to go and see it, but I didn't have the money......" Mao Tou lowered his head, cramped and uneasy.
Shi Lei laughed and said, "Okay, after arriving in Wudong, the employment contract may not be done, after all, you may not be able to do the work written in the contract." But don't worry, I'll let them give you a job that you can. If you really can't do it, I'll arrange for you to learn to drive, and then I will be the driver. ”
Maotou's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "I can drive, but I don't have a driver's license." I'm in Kampala, I've driven with a friend, and it's not difficult, a few times it will work. Sometimes, I also help people who travel to Kampala to drive and act as a guide. ”
Shi Lei nodded and said, "That's easy, you don't have to worry about a driver's license, I'll go back and ask someone to get one for you." Okay, you can rest first, and I'll go to sleep for a while, but I'll fall into jet lag. I'll take you to dinner in the evening. Oh yes, you can use everything in this room as you like, you can drink as much water as you like, and you can eat whatever you want. If that's not enough, just call someone to send it over, the hotel restaurant has a delivery service. ”
Maotou scratched his head and said, "Then I don't dare, this hotel is too high-end, and the toilet is cleaner than my home." Mr. Shi, don't laugh at me, I even tried the water in the toilet just now, it doesn't taste at all, I can drink it!
Seeing Maotou's embarrassed appearance, Shi Lei did not feel anything ridiculous, on the contrary, he was deeply sad.
Perhaps, there are many people in China who are still struggling at the bottom of life, but compared to people like Maotou, they should actually feel happy. At least, as long as they are willing to smash it down with a lot of strength, they can always have a bite to eat. And Maotou, who even feels clean with the water in the toilet, is in Kampala, and probably can't even afford to drink a mouthful of clean water. Such a day is not lived by people.
And Maotou is definitely not the worst person living in Uganda, after all, he is still in the capital Kampala, and there are people who are more precarious than him.
With a long sigh, Shi Lei patted Maotou's shoulder and said, "You will never return to the kind of life you used to have in the future, remember, no matter how clean the toilet is, the water there is not drinkable." Do you see the mineral water on the table? ”
In Shi Lei's view, after all, Maotou has lived in China for two years, and in Uganda, he also makes money by being a guide for tourists, and it is impossible for those tourists to be so stingy that they don't even buy him a bottle of water to drink.
However, Mao Tou said in a daze: "I know, mineral water costs a bottle or two, but in this kind of place, it must be very expensive." I owe a lot to Mr. Shi before, I ...... Also, as soon as the faucet is turned on, there is water, and I just drink that. ”
"Fool, the mineral water in this house is free, drink it casually!" Shi Lei rolled his eyes and told again: "The water from the faucet should also be boiled and drunk, you will use the electric kettle, right?" Remember, don't drink the water in the toilet again." ”
"Actually, the water in the toilet is much cleaner than the water we have there. The water we have there will be a layer of mud underneath it for a while. ”
Shi Lei didn't know what to say, so he had to say: "Adapt to life here as soon as possible, don't act like you've never been to Huaxia." In the future, your life will be much better than it was then. Alright, go to sleep. ”
After that, Shi Lei turned around and went out and entered his room, and Shi Lei sighed for a long time.
In the past, he was also dissatisfied with life, thinking that his classmates' living expenses were often two or three thousand, and he could still buy clothes and shoes that he could not reach, and after having a black card, he could afford these things, but he was worried that he would be wiped out by the black card one day.
But now, Shi Lei has quietly become a person who doesn't care about 1.8 million, and after his own funds are used for investment, his worth has quietly reached the level of more than 100 million. Compared with Mao Tou, I feel even more that I am living an emperor-like life now, while Mao Tou is still worried about a sip of clean water.
Lying on the bed, Shi Lei could even imagine that Maotou might not dare to sleep on the bed, but would choose to lie on the carpet, at most on the sofa.
With his hands behind his head, Shi Lei thought back to his changes in the past six months, and in addition to being unbelievable, he suddenly felt that he was selected by the black card, which may also be a good thing. Even though death was always threatening him, he had experienced a completely different life after all.
After thinking about it again, Shi Lei said self-deprecatingly: "At least, they don't have to worry about when they will suddenly leave this world." ”
But he also understands that if he is allowed to choose freely, maybe he will still choose to get a black card.
