Living like a salted fish in the end times

Chapter 365 Dating agencies and unions

Back in the bedroom, Yang Haoxuan took a pack of beef jerky and went straight to the canteen of the mining area. Since there was a welcome banquet in the evening, the back kitchen was very busy at this time.

"This gentleman, may I ask who you are?"

The canteen manager saw the outsider and asked.

Yang Haoxuan quickly took out his work card, and replied with a smile:
"Manager Xing, my name is Yang Haoxuan, and I'm a senior staff member of the governor's mansion. Didn't we just shake hands? You forgot it so quickly?"

The cafeteria manager thought about it carefully, and finally recognized the other party: "I remembered, you were standing next to the consul just now, no wonder you look familiar."

"Manager Xing, I would like to ask you a favor?"

Yang Haoxuan got straight to the point.

"Brother Yang, you are too polite, just ask if you have anything to do." The canteen manager seemed very enthusiastic.

In order to welcome the arrival of the consul, the mining area held a special mobilization meeting yesterday. At the meeting, thousands of exhortations were made, and no matter what, the inspection team should not be neglected.

"Manager Xing, the thing is like this, in addition to being a staff member, I am also a special writer for the Federal Daily.

Recently, I want to write a report on the current situation in South America, so I want to borrow two employees from you to learn about their life experiences and accumulate materials. "

Yang Haoxuan just found an excuse.

Hearing this, the manager of the cafeteria suddenly showed a look of embarrassment: "Brother Yang, I can't make the decision. I need to ask for instructions..."

This request is a little sensitive. If the other party says something that shouldn't be said in the press release, he will definitely have to bear the main responsibility.

Yang Haoxuan directly interrupted: "Manager Xing, I understand your concerns. Don't worry, I can assure you that this interview does not involve your company. If so, you have the right to refuse to answer."

"Brother Yang, can you give me a few minutes? May I report to our leader?"

The cafeteria manager did not let his guard down.

This kind of thing needs to be reported no matter what.

Yang Haoxuan nodded quickly: "Of course it's no problem."

Ten minutes later, the canteen manager finally reappeared, followed by two female employees.

"Brother Yang, I kept you waiting."

"It's okay." Yang Haoxuan waved his hands, then looked at the two cooks: "Manager Xing, what do you call these two?"

The two cooks are very beautiful, one is in her 30s and still has a charming charm; the other is in her early 20s, she is delicate and cute, and belongs to the type of little bird.

The canteen manager pointed to the younger one and introduced:

"This is Lisa Ono, who is currently working as the head chef in the kitchen. Although she has Nisan blood, she is a native of Brazil."

The immigration of Nisan people to Brazil is a long history and legendary story.

During the peak period, the Nisan people in the entire Brazil region accounted for almost one-tenth of the total population, and the number reached more than million. It was the place where the Nisan people immigrated most except Nisan Island.

Of course, the above are all data before the eruption of the Yellowstone volcano. Nowadays, the largest immigration place of the Nisang people is undoubtedly the mainland, with a total number of 3000 million.

Ono Lisa looked a little restrained, and bowed a ninety-degree bow on the spot:

"First meeting, please take care."

"Hi, Miss Ono!"

Yang Haoxuan's tone was kind.

Big Lolita, everyone loves it.

Besides, the other party is of East Asian yellow race just like himself, so he is considered half a fellow.

Immediately afterwards, the canteen manager pointed to another person and introduced: "This is Giselle, from Argentina, and is currently working in the back kitchen. Her specialty is baked mashed potatoes. The taste is amazing and it is very popular."

"Ms. Giselle, hello!"

Yang Haoxuan took the initiative to say hello.

"Staff Yang, you are too polite."

Giselle nodded with a smile.

After exchanging pleasantries, the canteen manager explained to the two subordinates: "You two should cooperate well with the interview with Staff Yang and don't worry about it."

"Manager Xing, we know."

The two said in unison.

The manager of the cafeteria nodded, and apologized to Yang Haoxuan: "Brother Yang, there is still something to do in the cafeteria. I can't do without people, so I won't accompany you. If you have other needs, you can let them come and let me know."

"Manager Xing, you are busy. I don't have any important reports here, so it shouldn't take much time."

"Okay, see you at the dinner then."

……

After Manager Xing left, Yang Haoxuan led the two cooks to a corner of the restaurant by the window.

"You two can sit down as you please."

As soon as Giselle sat down, she couldn't wait to say: "Staff Yang, let's start? You can also see that the cafeteria is very busy today, and we want to go back early to help."

The reason why Manager Xing chose her was because she was old and experienced, and she was not easy to say wrong things.

"Don't worry, I didn't lie just now, this interview really won't waste much time." After Yang Haoxuan finished speaking, he took out a paper bag from his pocket: "I have some beef jerky here, let's chat while eating."

"No, no, we're not hungry."

Giselle waved her hands again and again.

As expected, the people around the Consul were able to produce high-end goods like beef jerky. Seriously speaking, such good things could not be found in the entire mining area.

Unmoved, Yang Haoxuan divided the beef jerky into two and placed them in front of them:
"You two don't need to be polite to me. Beef jerky is just an interview fee. The question I'm going to ask next may make you feel a little uncomfortable. Please forgive me."

"Staff Yang, as long as you don't ask about the mine, we can answer other questions. You don't have to worry about it."

Gisele had an early vaccination.

Yang Haoxuan took out his mobile phone and pretended to turn on the recording: "Okay, then let's start!"

Giselle and Ono Lisa hurriedly sat upright.

"First of all, the first question, can you two briefly introduce your respective family situations and how you came to the copper mining company?"

Yang Haoxuan got straight to the point.

The two cooks looked at each other, unexpectedly, it was Lisa Ono who spoke first this time.

"Staff Yang, our family originally lived in the Oriental district of Sao Paulo, Brazil, but because of the eruption of the Yellowstone volcano, the whole family moved to my grandfather's farm.

Later, the situation became more and more serious, and the whole society was out of control, and zero yuan purchases were everywhere, and my grandfather's farm was quickly affected. "

Speaking of this, Ono Lisa's expression was serious.

Yang Haoxuan hurriedly asked: "What happened next?"

"Later, in the process of defending the farm, many relatives died. In the end, we were forced to leave the farm and moved all the way to Rio de Janeiro."

"What's going on in Rio de Janeiro?"

"Rio de Janeiro has a garrison anyway, and it is a coastal city. Although the social order is chaotic, it is much better than Sao Paulo."

"Have you ever thought about going back to Nisang?"

Yang Haoxuan asked curiously.

"I've thought about it, but it's not easy to go back, and Nisan itself is on the earthquake zone. We thought it over and over again, and we still think it's safer to stay in Brazil."

Ono Lisa paused, then sighed:
"What happened next was exactly as we had feared. The Mount Fushi volcano soon became the second Yellowstone volcano, and the island suffered heavy losses."

Yang Haoxuan nodded, motioning for the other party to continue.

Ono Lisa once again fell into memories: "In the next ten years, our family relied on savings to support our lives, and I also successfully passed from elementary school to high school.

Until three years ago, a large-scale riot suddenly broke out in Rio de Janeiro. The place where the riot broke out was near my house. In the end, everyone except my father and I were killed. "

"I am sorry for your loss."

Yang Haoxuan hastily handed over the handkerchief.

Lisa Ono took the handkerchief and wiped away her tears, and then continued to recall: "After the family broke up and died, my father's health became worse day by day. He felt that he could no longer stay in Rio de Janeiro, so he spent all his savings and helped me find a family. Spectrum dating agency.

Finally, after many blind dates, shortly after my father passed away, I finally married my current husband, followed him to Chile, and settled down in the mining area. "

Yang Haoxuan first comforted the other party with a few words, and then focused on asking about the situation of the dating agency.

Giselle took the conversation and answered helpfully:
"Staff Yang, most of these so-called dating agencies are actually run by various warlords. They can collect money from both sides, and the profits are very lucrative."

"It's too dangerous to deal with warlords, isn't there an official matchmaking agency?"

"Staff Yang..."

Giselton became hesitant for a moment.

Yang Haoxuan turned off the phone's recording skillfully, and then comforted him: "You two can rest assured, I will not disclose any of your identity information."

Giselle breathed a sigh of relief: "Actually, there is nothing that cannot be said, many of them are half-open secrets.

The government did run a dating agency, but there were many cases of self-stealing in the process, and repeated prohibitions continued, so that everyone gradually lost trust in the official dating agency.

As far as the facts are concerned, although the warlords charge expensive fees, they still have professional ethics. Most of the time, they can do things with money, and there are officials watching from the side, so they dare not mess around. "

Good guy, Yang Haoxuan called him a good guy.

This simply refreshed his three views.

However, this issue is more sensitive. Seeing that the other party did not want to communicate in depth, he changed the subject:
"How do ordinary dating agencies charge?"

"The fees charged by various dating agencies are different. Local blind dates are the cheapest, usually only a few thousand yuan. In short, the closer the distance, the cheaper;
Going a little farther to Venezuela basically costs tens of thousands of yuan. There are many state-owned enterprise workers there, and they are the most popular matchmaking partners;

The farthest one is to go to Europa, which is more expensive, usually hundreds of thousands, and there are many rich people there, and there may be a chance to marry into a wealthy family. "

After Giselle finished speaking, she couldn't help showing a bit of bitterness on her face. After all, the reality is not a fairy tale. The probability of Cinderella is too low. Some people have done statistics. In the past ten years, there are only a handful of real successes.

Yang Haoxuan was a little puzzled: "Why is there no Dongfang?"

"It's not that there are none, it's just that the number is relatively small. The reason is very simple. The immigration conditions on your side are too harsh. In addition to the long distance, the light travel fee is a big expense. The risk is too high and it is not worthwhile."

Giselle reluctantly explained.

Everyone knows that the East is now the absolute political, economic and cultural center of the Federation. Whether it is the security environment or the standard of living, it is the best in the Federation.

Of course, if you can marry an oriental person, then everything is not a problem. Unfortunately, quite a few of those who come to America to work have families.

In addition, these blind dates are not very interested in marrying them as wives. After all, oriental people have more traditional thinking and have higher requirements for the other half of marriage.

As the saying goes, people don't want to marry dead flowers and broken willows.

Coupled with the fact that young people today are generally unwilling to get married, the success rate is even lower.

In fact, not everyone is as lucky as Lisa Ono to marry an oriental person.

For most of them, the mistress is their final destination, such as herself.

Yang Haoxuan nodded in understanding, and then asked again: "Tens of thousands of dollars is not a small amount, what if you can't make up the money? Don't you want to marry for the rest of your life?"

"No, dating agencies can pay on credit. As long as the blind date is successful, the blind date will usually pay back the money."

Giselle replied.

Yang Haoxuan raised his eyebrows: "What if the blind date fails?"

"Then we can only dig in the mine until all the arrears are paid off. In fact, this is not easy, because the money belongs to usury, and the more it gets later."

Giselle sighed.

"Go down the mine? Didn't the government expressly prohibit women from going down the mine? How dare they break the law knowing the law."

Yang Haoxuan said in astonishment.

Giselle spread her hands and quickly explained: "In our place, the labor law doesn't work at all, in your words, it's useless.

Besides, if you don’t go down the well, you will starve to death. After all, good jobs are not available to us people. If you go down the well, you can still have something to eat. The most important thing is to survive. "

"What about the trade union? Does the trade union not care?"

Giselle shook her head: "How could there be a real trade union in the territory of the warlords? Just go outside and find out. Those so-called trade unions actually serve as supervisors.

It's fine if they don't bully others, but you still expect them to uphold the law and help the big guys uphold justice?What are you kidding?Unless the sun reappears. "

"It's true that the people are living in dire straits. The news is right." Yang Haoxuan expressed his heartfelt emotion.

"Staff Yang, this is probably our fate! If it weren't for the sake of my family, I would have died long ago, and I wouldn't be able to survive today."

"Ms. Giselle, do you still have family members alive?" Yang Haoxuan hurriedly remedied after finishing speaking: "I didn't mean that, I meant..."

"I understand that I actually have a mother and a younger sister who live in Buenos Aires. I hope I can save more money and bring my mother to live with me."

"Will it cost a lot to take over?"

Yang Haoxuan asked curiously.

"Well, it's easy to take over, but life is definitely a big problem. After all, our family's food stamps are limited every month, and there is no way to live with one more person for the time being.

Now I can save three to five catties of grain every month. I believe that in three or four years, I will have the confidence to take over my mother. "Giselle envisioned.

"From your point of view, Buenos Aires is not under the federal government?" Yang Haoxuan was a little surprised.

After all, Buenos Aires is the largest city in Argentina.

"Buenos Aires is too far to the south, especially the port, which has long been abandoned, and two-thirds of the year is frozen, so it's normal to look down on it."

Yang Haoxuan frowned: "Then this time is too long, can't we buy food on the black market?"

"The price of grain on the black market is too high, and our family's...economic conditions are not good." Giselle lacked confidence.

As I said earlier, she is just a mistress, and her "husband" has limited help. If she is not working in the cafeteria, don't even save this little food.

"How much money are you short? I can lend it to you."

Yang Haoxuan thought for a while and said.

He has never suffered since he was a child, and his heart has always been soft, so it's fine if he doesn't see it, but he can't ignore it if he sees it, at least he will do his best.

Giselton was a little moved, but after thinking about it, she finally gritted her teeth and refused:

"No, I..."

"This is not a donation. It needs to be repaid. At most, you won't be charged interest." Yang Haoxuan persuaded patiently.

ps: Ask for recommended tickets and monthly tickets!
