"Since you know that strip clubs are not a good place, why don't you try to find another job? Compared to other big cities in the United States, New York still has more opportunities, right?" Lu Li asked with some puzzlement. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

He did not feel contempt or contempt for the other party because he was engaged in the special services industry.

After all, who will inevitably encounter financial difficulties, sometimes in order to make a living, they have to do something they don't like, or even extremely disgusted.

But as long as she is self-reliant, even if she is a street girl who makes money by selling her body, he will give the most basic respect.

Because all normal people want to do decent work, but decent work is very limited, most people can only reluctantly compromise with reality.

Zhang Ling explained with a wry smile: "No, you don't understand, although there are more opportunities in New York, there are very few students like us who have not yet left the school, and more than 90% of them are interns who do not have much salary.

You know, I majored in finance and securities, so I had to go to Wall Street to find a job.

But what is Wall Street?

It was a purgatory that would eliminate more than 75 percent of Ivy League graduates in the first year, and I didn't dare to set foot until I was ready.

Otherwise, once my confidence is broken, I can't guarantee that I will have the courage to try a second time.

Also, do you know how big the gap is between my annual living expenses and tuition fees?

A full forty thousand dollars!

If it weren't for Mr. Balthazar, the owner of a strip club, who had also suffered from working while making money, and was willing to increase the commission of the dancers, I am afraid that I would have to really sell something to make it to the end of my studies. ”

Feeling the bitterness revealed in the tone of the young girl in front of him, Lu Li couldn't help but nodded lightly and sighed: "Going to college is indeed a huge financial burden for middle-income families in the United States, no wonder so many high school girls do not hesitate to auction their first night online in order to make up for tuition, or go to the SeekingArrangement website to ask for support." If you know that there is so much competition among Wall Street stockbrokers, why did you study finance in the first place?"

"Hah! It may seem ridiculous to say, but when I was in high school, I went with a few friends to see The Wolf of Wall Street, starring Leonardo, and I was fascinated by the luxurious life depicted in it.

I hope that one day I can earn millions or tens of millions of dollars, drive a top-notch sports car, live in a luxury villa, own a private jet, a yacht, and enjoy life to the fullest.

Unfortunately, after I actually entered college, I realized that Wall Street stockbrokers were far from being as glamorous as they seemed on the surface, at least most of them were not as good as they were in the movies.

First of all, new employees need to sign a three-year training contract, during which they only have a meager fixed salary and do not receive a penny of commission.

Secondly, if you want to change from a trainee to a full-fledged broker, you need to complete a series of goals, such as developing more than 100 clients on your own in the first year, and developing client assets between 30 million and 100 million US dollars within three years.

Last but not least, due to the high pressure of work, many senior executives in the company have the habit of harassing female employees.

One of my senior sisters was sexually harassed by her boss, but she just resisted a little and lost her job.

Doesn't that sound dark?

I sometimes feel like an idiot to choose such a horrible industry.

But now it's too late to regret it, I can only rush forward, maybe the striptease dance is just the beginning......"

There is no doubt that Wall Street stockbrokers are one of the most brutally competitive professions on the entire planet, and it is not surprising that a female college student who has not yet graduated is in awe and fear.

Although Lu Li doesn't know much about the inner workings of Wall Street, he has seen a lot of similar news reports.

For example, an investment company executive asked his wife to play with a big client, but the wife refused to comply and sued her husband in court, and the whole thing caused a lot of trouble, and the result was that he had to lose a lot of money and then divorce.

In addition, there was a defendant who sexually harassed a female subordinate of a company executive, and was finally awarded $18 million in damages.

These are the tip of the iceberg, those that have not been exposed, or who have reached deals with each other, are even more thousands, and it is estimated that there will only be more "couch auditions" than Hollywood dives, and there will never be less.

I'm afraid that people who haven't experienced it will never understand how terrible the allure of the word success is, and how easily it can destroy people's morality, dignity, and bottom line, so that they don't care about the process at all, and just want to hold fame and fortune firmly in the palm of their hands.

Lu Li, who was born at the bottom of the society, knew very well how far a person could degenerate in order to be successful, so he pondered for a moment, and quickly proposed: "If you don't mind, I can offer you a job related to finance, I don't know if you are interested?"

Zhang Ling's eyes lit up instantly, and she quickly asked: "What kind of job? How much is the salary? By the way, I haven't asked yet, what exactly do you do, and you actually scattered tens of thousands of dollars in cash without changing your face." Thanks to you, I have achieved more than 3,000 achievements today. ”

"I have a fancy nightclub in Miami and a biotech company, and I'm looking for a personal assistant who understands finance. As for the salary, it is tentatively set at $6,000 per month after taxes, and the place of work is in New York. Lu Li made the conditions without thinking.

After all, he will soon become a shareholder of JPMorgan Chase Bank, and he will inevitably have to deal with financial securities, and there is still a lot of money to take care of in the stock market, so it is necessary to hire a financial and securities professional assistant.

More importantly, he doesn't want to see the other party swallowed up by the huge black hole of Wall Street and become the kind of person who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.

"Wow! The monthly salary after tax is six thousand! Are you sure that the job content is just an assistant, and there are no other additional terms?" Zhang Ling's eyes showed a hint of vigilance.

"Yes, just an assistant. Don't worry, I have a girlfriend and I don't have any intentions for you. Lu Li smiled and spread his hands to show his innocence.

Just when Zhang Ling was a little hesitant, the two unconsciously passed through the door of the apartment and came to the staircase on the fourth floor.

Seeing that the house number of her room was in front of her, she subconsciously took out the key to open the door, then turned around and asked, "Can you give me some time to think about it?"

"Yes. But you'd better hurry, if you don't give me an answer by tomorrow, then I'll treat you as giving up. ”

After that, Lu Li also took out the key and unscrewed the lock, walked into the temporary residence, took a simple shower, and fell into a groggy sleep......
