"Hello, my surname is Zhou, everyone likes to call me Mr. Zhou, we did just arrived in New York, you said you can help us find a job? Then you must have lived here for many years and are familiar with the local situation. ”

The man named Song Qing smiled, took off the red soft hat on his head, bowed and said:

"Mr. Zhou is right, I've lived here for five years, and I don't dare to say anything else, but I know you very well in the Manhattan precinct, and you're all here to look for jobs, right? Don't know if you found the right one? If I don't have a relationship here, I can introduce you to the automobile factory or steel factory, and the remuneration is very good! ”

Zhou Yu looked at the person in front of him with interest, and almost guessed the other party's true thoughts.

The car factories and steel mills he spoke of were probably real, but as for the good pay, it was a matter of saying that they would end up in a place like the mines they had encountered in London.

There will be restrictions on their personal freedom, and the pay is pitiful, and the daily working hours are twice that of ordinary workers, and the Song Qing in front of him is very likely to introduce a worker and get a lot of rewards.

Zhou Yu seemed to be thinking, and motioned everyone to relax with his eyes, he looked up with a smile and said:

"So Mr. Song Qing, can we find some jobs that are not factories if we want to do them? For example...... Clubs, bars, docks, etc., to be honest, we used to work in factories and came here for a change of scenery. ”

That Song Qing's eyes rolled, and he quickly knocked his right fist on the palm of his left hand, nodded and said:

"I understand, I understand, there are some, bars...... Sir, you may not know that Prohibition is being enforced here, and no one dares to sell alcohol in public, or even drink in groups, which will be punished severely, but ...... I really know that there are docks recruiting, and most of them are manual jobs, and the pay is not as lucrative as the factory, I wonder if you can consider it? ”

Zhou Yu raised his hand to interrupt the other party's words, nodded and said: "Let's go to the dock, we don't have much culture, and we don't know how to read, so we have this strength left~ It's really a blessing to meet Mr. Song here today, you know, if we can't find a job anymore, we can only go to begging after this meal." ”

Zhou Yu's expression gradually became gloomy as he spoke, and he lowered his head, and Liu Banxian and the others on the side grinned like that, they were all about to believe that their group was going to be unable to eat.

The man's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, everyone is a compatriot, and we should take care of each other when we go out." ”

During the break between the two talking, Zhou Yu noticed that many of the diners around him had cast strange glances at them, which felt like they were looking at fools.

Zhou Yu, who had already eaten and drunk, glanced at his companions, and Nunu said, "Then why don't we go and see it now?" ”

Everyone was very cooperative, showing that they were not very smart.

"Let's see, let's go see it now."

Song Qing showed an expectant look, hurriedly walked to the door, and pushed the door open diligently.

However, at this moment, Zhou Yu's dozen people can no longer be regarded as people in his eyes, but walking dollars one by one, if he sells these people to gangsters, he will definitely be able to share a lot of money! That way, he could even use the money to move out of the Lower East Side, buy a small house with a garden in Brooklyn or Queens, and get out of the place.

Walking out of the restaurant, Zhou Yu stopped Zack who wanted to get out of the car with his eyes, and shook his head at him, while the latter sat back with a little confusion.

The group followed Song Qing, turned into the depths of Chinatown, and stopped on a beach near the East River.

A few low houses in front of the Song and Qing dynasties ran over, waved his hand and said: "Mr. Gao Ping, here~ here are my newly pulled workers, they have just arrived in New York, they don't know anything, they have worked in the factory before, and they said that they want to go to the dock to find something to do." ”

From a distance, Zhou Yu squinted his eyes slightly, and saw that the man called Gao Ping had two sparse beards, did not wear a hat, and even had a long braided twist on the top of his head, just like the kind of hairstyle that people often kept in the late Qing Dynasty.

The man was tall and thin, a little thin, but his eyes were like jackals and falcons, and he glanced at Zhou Yu and them coldly.

He nodded imperceptibly, raised his chin slightly, and pointed to a fishing boat parked on the edge of the riverbank.

Immediately afterwards, he shouted something to the people on the boat in the dialect of the coastal area with a strong accent, and Zhou Yu vaguely heard words such as "Ma Zai" and "come to business".

Seeing this step, he was basically able to determine that this Song Qing was not at ease at all, and should have specially haunted the Chinatown area, looking for compatriots who had just arrived in New York, and then tricked them into places such as black coal kilns in exchange for money, which was already equivalent to human trafficking.

"Hey~ Although the good Chinese don't lie to the Chinese, but when you really go to a strange place, no matter where you are, the first thing you need to watch out for is the so-called fellow countrymen."

Zhou Yu sighed secretly in his heart, and was determined to rectify this unkind behavior of local compatriots.

He made a gesture behind his back with one hand, and the other C13 brothers instantly understood what he meant, which was a gesture often used on the battlefield, meaning "be on high alert, wait for the signal to move".

Today, Zhou Yu originally just wanted to take everyone out to relieve their homesickness, have a full meal, and only go to the dock tomorrow to find a job to find news, but since the other party sent it to the door by himself, he had no reason to push it out with both hands, which may be a good opportunity for them to meddle in the local gang business.

After Song Qing finished communicating with the other party, he turned around and trotted a few steps, and beckoned to Zhou Yu with a smile:

"Fellow, get on the boat, the boat will pull you across the river, where there is work on the dock, I have already agreed, four hundred dollars a month, which is quite a lot for you newcomers who have just arrived here."

Zhou Yu nodded gratefully, and hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, fellow, four hundred dollars...... We didn't dare to think before we came, you are really our benefactor, you are really relying on relatives at home and relying on fellow villagers when you go out! ”

Song Qing didn't hear the irony in Zhou Yu's words at all, and thought that people were really thanking him.

He scratched his head, waved his hand and said, "No thanks, no thanks, this is what I should do, come here and line up, let's get on the boat." ”

The group walked to the side of the fishing boat, and they were all cautious under Zhou Yu's hints.

Hu Rentian seemed to have his hands in his pockets, but he was actually holding the handle of the gun.

Hong Ah Ghost clasped his arms in front of his chest, and hid two sharp blades under his armpits.

The fortune teller giggled, but he had already pinched a packet of chili powder he had prepared himself in the palm of his hand, and as long as something was wrong, he would sprinkle it on it, first seal the enemy's eyes, and then slash it fiercely.

The rest of the people also unintentionally put their hands in a position where they could take out their weapons in the first place.

"Huh? You, pull your hand out, what is hidden in your pocket? ”

The other people had no problem getting on the fishing boat, but when Hu Rentian arrived, he was suddenly stopped by a man with a mustache next to him, who insisted that he take out the hand that was inserted into his trouser pocket.

Hu Rentian stared at the other party, without the slightest concession or intention of taking out his hand.

And that Gao Ping's face gradually hung a layer of frost, seeing that the conflict between the two sides was about to break out, Hu Rentian suddenly grinned, pulled out his left hand, and made a hip twisting motion:

"What can this be? It's just that I'm born with a good foundation, which makes you mistakenly think that I have something hidden in my pocket, and I was often misunderstood before. ”

The other C13 brothers almost choked on his saliva when they heard his words, and they almost used all their strength to hold back their laughter.

The gloomy expression on Gao Ping's face then turned into disgust and disgust, and he waved his hand, and Hu Rentian ran quickly onto the fishing boat with his back slightly hunched.
