My sister-in-law from Qingdao

Around 4 p.m., I returned to Shuiyunjian.

The first thing I did was register for employment at the security department.

The head of the security department is surnamed Liu and his name is Liu Dachuan.

Upon seeing me, he paused for a moment, frowned, and asked, "Why do I feel like I've seen you somewhere before?"

"Have you seen it? No, I don't think so?"

"Where are you from? What is your educational background? What jobs have you done before?"

I handed over my ID card and said, "I'm from Ju County, Rizhao City, and I graduated from junior high school."

This guy took my ID card, looked at it for a few moments, and then laughed.

"I remember now, have you forgotten the time in the lobby when you got beaten up for your sister-in-law?"

That beast looked at me with absolutely no friendliness.

"I've forgotten about it. What's past is past. Why bring it up?"

"You've got some guts, kid. But to be honest, your sister-in-law is really beautiful. I think she's number 36. Where is she selling herself now?"

Liu Dachuan's words ignited a fire within me.

"Can you talk? If you can't, then shut up."

Looking at the man's lewd face, I felt an urge to slap him twice.

Liu Dachuan was taken aback for a moment, then sneered, "Who introduced you? You're pretty arrogant, kid. Do you know who I am?"

"I've been hired and I'm here to start work. Do I need to tell you who referred me?"

I got really angry when I remembered him saying that my sister-in-law was selling things there.

"You've got guts. Don't say I didn't warn you. If you work in the security department for three months, I might make sure you don't get paid."

No wonder Brother Zhao Yun told me not to reveal my identity; it turns out even a small security department can be quite shady.

"Whether I get paid or not, I work hard or not is not up to you."

"You've got personality, go get your uniform and start work."

Liu Dachuan's cold gaze swept across my face, and he waved at me, saying...

I went to the logistics department to get my security uniform, changed into it, and then began patrolling the area at the entrance of the lobby on the first floor.

A man in his mid-thirties, also dressed as a security guard, was sitting by the door, smoking and looking me up and down.

"New here?"

When someone initiated a conversation with me, I quickly nodded and said, "Yes, I'm new here, just started working."

"Look at your delicate skin, why don't you find a better job? Working here, you only make 3,800 yuan a month, which isn't even enough to cover your cigarettes."

I couldn't help but laugh.

"Brother, don't you work here too? If you can do it, why can't I?"

"I'm different from you. I'm a resident who received compensation for my land expropriation. I come to work just to kill time. My wife owns two clothing stores, and she supports me."

I have to admit that in today's society, those who are relocated due to land expropriation are not to be trifled with.

Once an urban village is demolished, you can get millions or tens of millions of yuan, plus several houses. You can just sit back and win big.

"Brother, who got you in here?"

This guy took out a cigarette, handed it to me, and asked with a grin.

"I'm from a rural area, that's okay, I just applied for the job."

The guy nodded subconsciously and said, "Then I don't think you can last long."

"Why? A salary of 3,800 is not low. In my hometown, I can only earn a little over 2,000 yuan a month by doing odd jobs for 80 yuan a day without taking a break."

I had barely finished speaking when a security guard poked his head out of the inner room and called out to me, "Chen Dong, come here for a moment, the section chief wants to see you."

I rushed into the inner room and saw Liu Dachuan and a few of his buddies playing a card game, shouting and yelling.

"Section Chief Liu, you wanted to see me?"

Liu Dachuan casually picked up a twenty-yuan note from the side and threw it in front of me, saying, "Go buy me a few packs of cigarettes."

What kind of cigarettes can you buy with twenty yuan?

The cheapest cigarettes now cost around ten or twenty yuan, and even then, you can only buy a pack of the most basic, low-priced cigarettes.

"Did you see that? Waiting to draw, hurry up." Liu Dachuan said without looking up.

When I walked to the door with the twenty yuan, I was stopped by that guy in his thirties.

Where are you going?

"My boss asked me to buy cigarettes!"

The guy grinned and smiled.

"What kind of cigarettes do you plan to buy with twenty yuan?"

"I don't know either, but I guess you can buy the cheapest Hademen."

The guy gave me a meaningful smile and whispered, "If you want to stay in the security department and become one of Liu Dachuan's protégés, then use this twenty yuan to buy two cartons of Zhonghua cigarettes."

I was stunned and speechless.

"What do you mean?"

"What else could it mean? Everyone has to follow the rules when they come in, no matter who they are. Everyone inside has bought Zhonghua cigarettes except me."

But the treatment was different; I directed the vehicles outside while they played cards inside.

"If I weren't a native of Qingdao, I would have been fired long ago."

When he said that, I suddenly realized what he meant.

Chicks don't pee; each has its own way of doing things.

If a mere security section chief at a KTV is doing this kind of work, imagine what it would be like if he were a higher-ranking official!

"I can't buy a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes for twenty yuan, I don't have the money."

Without turning my head, I walked straight ahead.

I bought a box of white wine for twelve yuan.

When I came back with the white sword, this guy grabbed me with a grin.

"Hey bro, what's your name?"

"Chen Dong".

"My name is Ma Zhiyuan. Remember my name. If we meet again in the future, I'll treat you to a meal."

His words completely stunned me.

"What does that mean?"

Ma Zhiyuan gave a wry smile and said, "With your lack of understanding, you'll be out of here in less than a month. It's too easy for them to make things difficult for you."

"Screw them, I don't believe they have the guts."

I pushed open the door and entered, carrying the change and the box of white liquor.

When they saw me return with the white general, their expressions varied.

Liu Dachuan, in particular, had an icy expression.

"I bought a box of White 12, and I have eight yuan left."

I put the money and the box of white liquor in front of Liu Dachuan, then turned and walked out.

When I returned to the door, Ma Zhiyuan became even more enthusiastic than before.

He pulled up a chair for me and made me sit next to him.

"Brother, you're a real man. I love your personality."

"I'd like to offer my services, but I don't have any money. I'm just a migrant worker, earning so little each month. I haven't even received my salary yet. Why should I just buy him two cartons of Zhonghua cigarettes right off the bat?"

I said indignantly.

"Sigh, you're still young. But you'll be in for a rough time next."

No sooner had Ma Zhiyuan finished speaking than the young security guard who had called out to me earlier poked his head out again.

"Chen Dong, find a broom and a trash can, and come over and clean the room."

Ma Zhiyuan looked up at me, shook his head with a helpless smile.

"Sorry, I'm here as a security guard, not a cleaner. Whoever wants to clean can do it; I'm not doing this."

As soon as I said those words, the security guard's expression changed immediately.

"You're pretty arrogant, aren't you? Don't you even know the basic rules? What's wrong with asking you to clean up?"

Just like your sister-in-law, she sells her body, you sell your soul. What are you pretending to be so high and mighty for, you country bumpkin?
