Chapter 148: Persons with Disabilities

Belonging to New York City, the Bronx is like another world than Manhattan, poor, backward, deserted and chaotic.

In Su Jingzhen's eyes, the Bronx during the day is just a relatively remote and deserted neighborhood in New York City, but Joanna told him that at night, there are a large number of unemployed black people wandering on the streets, and it is very unsafe to walk alone on the streets, especially women.

Benny Coleman is a white man who lives in the Bronx, and Su Jingzhen's main task here today is to hire him.

Before World War II, the people who lived in Brolklin were mainly white, but after World War II, because of the gradual emigration of whites, it slowly evolved into a settlement for black and Hispanic people, and Coleman, who was a descendant of the white people who lived here at that time, was also a disabled person.

Coleman lost his parents, his home, and his hearing in a fire that followed the explosion, and although the federal government will have some compensation and benefits, Coleman will not be able to get out of the slums on this alone.

Deafness allowed Coleman to immerse himself in his own world, after graduating from college, he studied some Internet knowledge at home, and had some unique technology for the production and design of web pages, and because of this, Coleman received a lot of small outsourcing projects, which made him have a small reputation in the industry, and headhunters also knew his existence through these.

Stopping in front of an old six-story apartment, Joanna relaxed her seatbelt and said to Su Jingzhen: "If you are sure to hire this person, you will let him move out of the Bronx early, I don't have a good impression of this area, including the people who live here, I always feel that they are criminals." ”

Su Jingzhen is a little funny, this is obviously a map cannon, although there are many rumors about the Bronx, but in the nineties, due to the efforts of the New York City Police Department, the security here is not as terrible as the legend says, although it is still very dangerous to go to the street at night.

"Don't laugh, our law firm, every year, as long as the criminal cases are in New York City, then most of the criminals are from this area. Joanna saw that Su Jingzhen wanted to laugh, and knew that he didn't believe it, so she immediately explained a few words.

"Okay, let's go see this Coleman first, but why do you suggest that I hire him? The information says that he is deaf and mute?" Su Jingzhen did not refute Joanna, and changed the subject after getting out of the car.

"There are tax incentives, the most important thing is that this person has a good reputation, and I want to solemnly state that this person is just deaf, not dumb. Joanna's idea is also very simple, hiring people with disabilities will have tax incentives, which will help accounting firms save money on accounting.

According to the information of the headhunter company, the two came to a suite on the fourth floor, rang the doorbell, and a man with a beard and about 30 years old opened the door.

"Hello, I'm Sue, I'm here to discuss something with Mr. Coleman, I've already called to communicate with me before, and the lady behind me is a lawyer. Su Jingzhen saw that the man who opened the door was wearing a hearing aid in his ear, and probably guessed that he was Coleman.

"Hello, just call me Joanna. Joanna was on the side, also holding out her hand and saying hello.

"Hello, I'm Coleman, please come in. "This is indeed Coleman, but he speaks a little slowly, even a little slower than Su Jingzhen's English.

Walking into the apartment, this small apartment is a little smaller than the one Joanna lives in now, with an open kitchen, a narrow balcony, looking at the dilapidated furniture, Su Jingzhen knows that this gentleman's life is not rich, and the only valuable thing in the family is probably the computer next to the bed.

"Mr. Coleman, I have made the situation clear on the phone, my website is now online, I believe you have also seen it, I don't know how you think about the hiring. Sitting down on an obviously arranged fabric sofa, Su Jingzhen quickly got to the point, long story short.

"Well, Stephen, I said on the phone before, after all, because of my own problems, I am not very good at dealing with strangers, or I am not used to chatting with others, so I choose to pick up some odd jobs at home, if I go to your company......" Coleman spoke very slowly, and the meaning of his words seemed a little unconfident.

"I know, the information of the talent company has your self-report, but because of this, I will come to you, I believe you also know, to maintain a website is actually quite monotonous, every day is always on some code that others are not interested in, and our company is still very small, and it is estimated that there will not be too many people in the near future, so you don't need to mind this problem too much. ”

It's not that no one has come to Coleman before, after several failed attempts to enter the company, Coleman has drawn a cross to the option of a fixed job, because every time he has a conflict with his colleagues, his ideas are not supported by his boss, which may be because he is not convincing enough, or it may be that the thinking circuit of the tech nerd is too strange.

Now the yellow man in front of him is very sincere, and he said that he didn't want to go out, which means that he politely refused, but he still came directly to the door to continue to recruit, but can he really adapt to do a fixed job?

"Mr. Coleman, I believe you know the situation in the Bronx yourself, and as a lawyer, I can tell you responsibly that there are countless criminal cases here every year.

People always yearn for something beautiful, whether it's life or something else, and now that there is such an opportunity in front of you, why don't you cherish it?" Joanna saw Coleman's hesitation, and began to persuade on the side.

"Mr. Coleman, your skills are described in detail in the report of the talent company, and even your works in the past two years are listed, and I have no doubt about your skills.

So in terms of salary, it is calculated according to the average salary in the industry, and all the benefits are the same as other companies, which is only during the probationary period, after the probationary period.

If you can get my approval, I don't dare to say the top salary in the industry, but I can still afford it at the middle and upper level, and I think you don't need to have too many worries in this regard,"

After Su Jingzhen finished talking about Joanna, he immediately talked about salary, what was the average salary of a technician in the IT industry this year? The annual salary was about 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, which was enough for Coleman to move out of the Bronx.

Hearing Su Jingzhen say this, Coleman smiled, if Su Jingzhen said a salary of 50,000 yuan or more, Coleman may still be a little hesitant, after all, he is an ordinary technician, he knows that it is not difficult for him to find a job, after all, relying on the status of a disabled person, he can help the company to be tax-free.

But the person in front of him obviously didn't really look at his identity, but really recognized his technology, and really wanted to ask him to do technology, which made him excited.

The lawyer was right, he wanted to move out of the Bronx all the time. (To be continued.) )
