Chapter 912
In the first few days, Xiuen still felt that this was definitely not a problem, with his rich life experience as a local bureau leader and a fellow inmate, wouldn't it be very simple to find a job in the west that could support himself?
Reality gave him a mouthful in a very timely manner and made him understand how cruel society is.
His first job was as a pizza and snack driver on the Loop, and in addition to receiving a 15-cent commission for each order delivered, the tips were all personal. According to his algorithm, he can deliver at least eight orders a day, which is already more than one dollar, plus the consumption given by the guests, all of which add up to almost two yuan. In this relatively backward place in the west, two yuan is enough for the necessary expenses of a day's life, and there is surplus, and it is not a problem at all to support yourself.
There were also a few foreigners who immigrated to the empire with him, all of whom looked innocent, referred to as stupid.
At the moment before meeting the interviewer of the restaurant, that is, the owner and the cook, he felt that this time he was stable, he had too many advantages, and the most important one was his identity, he was an empire!
And then, as mentioned above, reality gave him a slap in the face in time, making him understand that he couldn't be stable.
He was eliminated on the grounds that he didn't look like a good guy and had been in prison, and the restaurant didn't want such a person to deliver food, which would affect the restaurant's image and lose more customers. Secondly, and most importantly, those immigrants only cost eight cents a bill, and these people give the restaurant more security.
This may seem to have nothing to do with the so-called sense of security, but in fact, these immigrants are very careful about their identity and information, and now basically all immigrants are in the inspection period, and once someone complains about them, it will have a great impact on their status as a resident of the empire. This makes it safer for restaurants to occasionally deduct their wages for some reason, and with the fact that they want lower wages, choosing these controllable immigrants is what micro, small and medium-sized enterprises in the west are most willing to do.
It's not impossible to hire Imperial citizens to work, but these people are uncles, and maybe they will in turn complain about the exploitation of their labor by restaurants, so why choose an Imperial man with a criminal and prison history?
So Xiuen was defeated, and inexplicably failed.
Then he looked for several jobs, and in each job there would be some immigrants as competitors, and each time he became a stepping stone for those immigrants, and after a successful escort interview, he was successfully defeated.
Once, twice, three times, gradually Xiuen understood that the current society is no longer the society of the past, although there is still a big labor shortage in the society as a whole, but there are also some outstanding problems, he does not know how to summarize these problems, but he feels the existence of problems.
In fact, this is the same problem for many countries with population introduction systems, the contradiction between cheap labor and high-priced labor and the attitude of exploitation by employers are destined to have a great imbalance in employment in countries with more foreign populations. On the one hand, there are the migrants who are willing to be oppressed and exploited, who are willing to swallow their anger and accept unfair treatment in exchange for a right of residence, and the quality of life and quality are more like a luxury for a better future for them. Today's efforts are for tomorrow's enjoyment, and it is precisely because of such ideals that they are willing to do things that many of their own people are not willing to do.
On the other hand, the Imperials need better working conditions, better compliance with the minimum hourly wage required by law, and organizations such as workers' unions to provide them with all kinds of assistance. When the capitalists use these people, they will seem very hesitant, and they will be very relieved to use them, after all, there are many skilled workers among them, but then there are a lot of troubles, all kinds of experiences, all kinds of rights, and there are strikes and so on, and sometimes the capitalists are controlled by these workers and workers' unions.
Although there is no obvious contradiction between the two poles so far, some places have already shown signs of it.
Of course, Yixiu's understanding of society is not enough to find and summarize these problems, he just feels that it has become very difficult to find a job.
In the following period of time, Xiuen continued to look for new jobs, and finally could only take the initiative to lower his salary requirements, and told his employer that he was not dragged down by his family, and he could do what he could for the company on weekends, which was what he could do, and he got a ...... Sewer work. Yes, cleaning up the sewer silt adds up to only eighty cents a day, and there are four hours of free overtime on weekends. This money is not enough for him to guarantee his life in the west, and now Xiuen is no longer even demanding quality.
So he took a second part-time job, working on the construction site in the morning and cleaning the sewer pipes in the afternoon.
During this time, members of the workers' union approached Xiun and asked about his treatment at work and whether his rights had been violated. But in the face of the smiling eyes of his employer, Xiuen could only tell the truth "truthfully".
Gradually, Xiuen is immersed in the struggles of an ordinary person's life, and in the face of a heavy life, he must swallow his anger, otherwise he will go hungry, or he will sleep on the streets at night. Since he was a child, he has been an outstanding representative in the eyes of his family and friends, even if he goes to prison, he is not at the bottom, and now this life has made him realize that there is an unprecedented world, and heaviness. Gradually, he was about to forget about Durin, and began to save every expense, began to calculate the use of every penny, and smiled with satisfaction at the deposit of more than thirty dollars in the bank.
Until he was informed that Doolin had returned and that it was time for him to "work".
Half a year of hard life finally made Xiuen feel like a world away, and when he faced Durin again, his mentality was already different, and there was a change that he couldn't even speak. He didn't know if it was a good change or a bad change, but at this time his heart was already calm, it was impossible.
What is it for so much torture?
If you just want to live a peaceful life, it is absolutely impossible, maybe it is more unwilling to let him reappear in front of Durin. He needs a chance, whether it's from Durin or from the official, and he wants to prove that his excellence since childhood is not luck, not coincidence, it's his own hard work, it's talent!
If I have been successful before, I will be successful in the future!
