Chapter 672: The Price of Waywardness
"It's the Navy Office, Miss Chang." The female officer stopped her from behind, and Chang Xin turned around and looked at the other party suspiciously.
"The office primarily served veterans and military families in the colonies, and I was responsible for the recruitment of colonial personnel." The warrant officer said.
"Navy...... Recruit? Chang Qing stopped and frowned.
"Exactly." The female officer flicked her fingers across the holographic screen in front of her. "When I saw your file, I thought you were here to join us, you know, the defaulting contract colonists joined the army to avoid bankruptcy, which is a common occurrence in our area."
"Bankrupt? What bankruptcy? Chang Qing seemed to be asking about this word for the first time, which could not help but startle the warrant officer.
"You're kidding, aren't you? Miss Chang? She looked puzzled when she saw that Chang Xin was not like a fake, and finally began to believe that this Ma Daha might really not know. Well, apparently you don't know yet, so I'll explain, but I'm afraid it's bad news for you. The female officer paused as she spoke, and Chang Xin stared at her impatiently.
"The Colonial Bureau has a strict mutual agreement with employees, especially contract colonists, and you see, if Party A terminates the contract early, then although Party B will not get the salary in the future, it will receive a decent repatriation payment, which will generally not be affected after returning to the place of origin, and can even sign a new contract agreement with the Colonial Bureau again." The female officer explained.
"But if it is a breach of contract, it is completely different, the operation and development of the colony is basically the funds of private enterprises, and what the Colonial Bureau of the Development Committee does is only overall management, so according to the provisions of the civil law, the contract colonial individual breach of contract is a civil dispute, and it is necessary to compensate for the pre-colonial training costs and a large amount of penalties."
"Penalty money? But the colonial bureau didn't mention any compensation to me, right? Chang Xin couldn't help but say when he heard this.
"That's because you didn't give them a chance, right?" The female officer dragged the screen in front of her upwards and pointed. "Miss Chang, it is written in your colonial file that 'the dispute has not been resolved', which means that the penalty has not been paid, and it is impossible for you not to know this if you go through the formal breach of contract procedure."
"I don't know? Girl, I don't want to stay in Epterus, don't you just like to go? I don't ask them for the wages I owe, but they can ask me for money instead? What a joke. Chang Xin was annoyed in his heart, his voice was excited, and Roger, who was not far away, had already come up when he heard the movement, and behind him was poor Jonny, who 'always followed the supporting role and still had to be complained'.
"Besides, my citizen card file has been updated, and now I'm a free citizen, and I don't have the slightest connection with the Colonial Bureau." Chang Xin's momentum rose when he said this, and he seemed much calmer.
"Freedmen?" Jonny and Roger couldn't help but speak at the same time and looked at each other.
"That's two different things, Miss Chang, since you have terminated the contract, the Yinmeng government will naturally give you a new identity, but those records in the colonial archives will follow you for the rest of your life."
"So what?" Chang Xin didn't understand.
"No, there are generally no colonial corporations that claim compensation from defaulters, and there are even fewer examples of such civil lawsuits." The female officer said.
"That's not it, as if you were talking about it very seriously."
"Although it is not a civil law provision, there are unwritten provisions on the disposal of defaulting colonists in various industries of the Union. You see, Miss Chang, those seemingly innocuous records, once you follow you, no company will dare to hire you in the future, which means that you will no longer be able to have a decent job in the future, don't you know this? ”
"What?" Chang Xin was a little stunned when he heard this.
"This is just the beginning, Miss Chang, and the worse is yet to come." The female officer's face tensed. "Once you have this stain on your file, your citizen credit rating will automatically drop below the basic line, which will affect all your previous and future financial management, investments, loans, and creditor's rights. You should know that we are no longer living in the era of the Human Federation, where money flowed, and personally, credit rating is almost everything. If you have no income, if your credit points are negative for a long time, the committee will put you on the bankruptcy list, in which case, you will also be temporarily deprived of your citizenship rights......"
"It's a hell of a life." Chang Xin finally understood, no wonder Huang Li died before leaving, but she was very impatient when she was in a hurry to leave that ghost place, and she didn't want to hear the noise of her friends, it turned out that this was the price! She tried to secure a comfortable future for her fragile mother, but she didn't realize that she would now have to lose even the most basic citizenship rights. The thought that she might have to live with her mother on her brother's meager pension in the future made her have the idea of strangling herself to death at once.
"Hi, cold beauty." Chang Xin stared at the nameplate on his chest. "Rachel, that's a nice name indeed...... Okay Rachel, your pitch is amazing, well, I'm convinced. Chang Xin squeezed out the smile she thought was the sunniest on her face, and her voice became sweet. You mentioned earlier that joining the army can avoid bankruptcy? How to avoid it? Let's talk about it in detail for my little sister......"
