Chapter 571: Shrinking by Half

The afternoon tea started too late, and when it was time for dinner, Duan Huan and Liang Sixi were still with tea and pastries, and there was no room for dinner at all, so they omitted dinner.

In fact, I didn't finish dinner, and I still have a little regret to be happy.

She also likes the barbecued pork on the peninsula, the golden ratio of fat and lean, not greasy, and the taste is just right.

I didn't eat the perfect barbecued pork, and I was a little resentful, so I opened a bottle of champagne.

Sitting in front of the large floor-to-ceiling windows, drinking just the right amount of semi-sweet champagne, overlooking the night view of Victoria Harbour, is also a great treat.

The sweet and sour champagne and the dazzling night view are not the slightest attraction for the hard-working Liang Sixi.

She was holding a pile of newspapers and maps, writing and drawing in a notebook, and was in full swing planning to find a job.

In fact, Liang Sixi didn't have to be so nervous, he got his ID card on the first day of his arrival in Hong Kong, and he successfully found a house, which is something that most people who have fled Hong Kong can't think of.

Getting an ID card and renting a house, everything is going in a good direction!

Liang Sixi, a girl, came to a foreign land empty-handed, and if she wants to gain a firm foothold on Hong Kong Island without relatives and no reason, she is destined to put in more effort than others.

But then again, that's good, at least it's all about their future.

What she has won through struggle is at her disposal, and she will not be squeezed out by her vicious family.

Liang Sixi's plan for the future is very clear and detailed.

She was going to look for a job like an office clerk in the newspaper first, even if it was just running errands in the office, which was a high starting point for her.

Once you have found a job, you should quickly improve your business ability and educational level.

After accumulating a certain amount of work experience, even if you encounter unexpected circumstances, the options for changing jobs will be broadened a lot.

If she can't find a job as a clerk, she will do manual work such as waitress and cleaner, and then take on more part-time manual work from the outside, so that it is not a problem to support herself.

As long as she can maintain the most basic life, she will find a way to apply for a training class to learn a technical degree.

She already knows English, and her education level is not bad, but she lacks a diploma.

After learning the technology and getting a diploma, if she can't find a job with brain power, then she can only make a conclusion to herself that she is stupid.

It is not easy to have a sense of urgency and a clear plan, and the most commendable thing is that he dares to think and dare to act, and he has a super ability to act, which is a place to appreciate Liang Sixi.

In fact, Liang Sixi's vigorous and resolute personality is very suitable for the fast-paced urban life on Hong Kong Island.

The spirit of daring to think and fight is also easier than ordinary people to get out in the rush.

At half past seven the next morning, after having a buffet breakfast in the restaurant, Liang Sixi was ready to look for a job in the CBD on the other side of the Central according to the information sorted out.

Originally, I wanted to remind her to prepare her resume, but I found that I didn't understand the recruitment mode and process of Hong Kong Island employers in this era.

Besides, if Liang Sixi gets a resume, it is estimated that she can only rely on compilation, and she didn't even finish elementary school, should she write it on her resume?

It's only been a day and a night, and Liang Sixi's shyness and apprehension when he first arrived has dissipated a lot.

She generously used English with a strong accent to ask the hotel staff how to get to the Star Pier to take the ferry.

Duan Huan felt that Liang Sixi went to the interview with braids, a dress and a pair of power shoes, and it was estimated that the image was unqualified, so he personally operated for her.

A makeover, of course, starts with a hairstyle.

Huan Huan untied her short braids, pulled her hair into a neat bun, and her whole face instantly became energetic.

Without makeup, the makeup step was directly omitted, and only the scalpel was used to trim her excess eyebrows.

The slightly slim shirt and trousers were all made in the space a while ago.

They were all made of good fabrics bought at the Friendship Store, and they were originally intended to be used as equipment for women and men.

The shirt is a little loose, but the hem is tucked into the pants, and you can't see anything wrong.

The pants can't be settled, her height is a cut short of Huan's, and the length of the pants is also much worse.

In addition, Duan Huan is still the kind of typical short and long legs, and the tailor-made pants of Duan Huan are worn on her, and the legs and feet that grow are cut off, and it is estimated that they can be made into a mop.

I borrowed a sewing machine and tools from the hotel's laundry room, cut the trouser legs in 20 minutes, and repaired the trousers by the way.

I changed the ironed pants and put them back on my body, and I straightened up several degrees in an instant.

Only the shoes are a bit difficult to do, and there are a lot of high heels and flat scoop shoes in the happy space, but they are not suitable.

First, Liang Sixi's feet are half a size smaller than those of Duan Huan, and the pull-back shoes can be tied with shoelaces and can be worn as much as possible, but the leather single-shoe high heels must fit the feet to walk.

Second, those are all shoes from the previous life, and the style and pattern are a little different from the present, and if you pay attention to it, you may be exposed.

Fortunately, Tsim Sha Tsui is a bustling business district, and it is so easy to buy shoes.

The tall luxury stores that occupy the golden port cannot afford to consume, and the small shops facing ordinary citizens also have a lot of good goods at low prices.

Huanhuan quickly picked out a pair of versatile black leather shoes with pointed toe and low square heels for Liang Sixi, and the leather and workmanship of the shoes were good.

With a new look, Liang Sixi hurriedly waved his hand to Duan Huan, and then strode towards the Tianxing Wharf.

Liang Sixi was very busy going to the interview, and he had no time to spare.

She had to dispose of the old pounds in the space, and she couldn't do it when she saw the money turn into useless waste paper.

Old coins are collectible, but you can't all send them to antique shops and auctions, right?

As the saying goes, scarcity is expensive, so many old pounds, if all of them are put on the antique market for circulation, it will immediately cause the value of the collection to plummet!

For the old version of the currency that is not in circulation, the normal channel is only to get the issuing bank to replace it for a new one, but there are several British banks that issue pounds, and you need to consult door-to-door.

"Miss, our bank can replace the old banknotes that are no longer in circulation with the new ones that are in circulation, but you need to bear the depreciation of the depreciation.

There is a 1% service charge for the old currency exchange service! Reservations are required one day in advance! The female teller said in a sweet voice with a cold expression.

Duan Huan felt a little unwilling, but in the end, he had to decide to change.

Whoever let the pound go downhill all the time, and when the euro comes out, the depreciation will be even more severe.

The bank asked Duan Huan to show her ID card to fill out the form, and Duan Huan was dumbfounded, how could she have an ID card to show it!

And isn't Hong Kong Island a free economy? So much offshore capital, offshore companies, hidden information in the stock market and various capital markets to dive to their heart's content.

Why did she get here, and she even had to ask for an ID card for a new banknote?

The explanation of each bank is similar, and the replacement of the old and new versions of the currency needs to be reported to the head office on Hong Kong Island, and the head office will destroy it uniformly.

As long as the amount of the old currency is more than 10,000 pounds, you must show your identity document and complete the formalities before you can handle it.

Facing the teller's mechanical unified face, he left the bank with a sigh of relief.

The pounds in the space, Wan Huan has not counted how many there are, but they are all visually not less than a few hundred thousand.

The depreciation has shrunk by half and hundreds of thousands, and Duan Huan also feels very painful.

But half of the depreciation must be changed, otherwise will it continue to depreciate to one-third?

In case the bank doesn't change it at that time, looking at so much money and becoming useless waste paper, it will be impossible to find a place to cry.

But ID cards, it's a problem!
