Chapter 482 He is really unlucky today, everyone comes to blackmail him!
Chen Wuming and his friends couldn't find Shen Qingran, and were angry. They returned the same way they came, planning to wait and see. They would also ask the owner of the restaurant for some money so they could go out for drinks and find dancers.
Seeing that Shen Qingran's two companions were seriously injured and could not bring any benefits to the store in the short term, the store owner fired them directly. He also refused to pay their wages and medical expenses on the grounds that Shen Qingran had recruited Chen Wuming, causing heavy losses to the store.
Xu Hanqi followed the information given by Shen Qingran and found the store. He saw her two companions arguing with the store owner. After learning the reason, he said, "They are my fellow villagers. If you bully them, you are bullying me.
I didn’t want to make a big deal out of it, so I paid them their wages according to the rules and compensated them $100 each for their medical expenses.”
The shop owner knew Xu Hanqi and knew that this man was not someone to be trifled with, so he promptly paid the wages and corresponding medical expenses to Shen Qingran and the other two.
Xu Hanqi got the money and was about to take the two injured comrades to the clinic for examination when Chen Wuming and others appeared.
Chen Wuming: "Hey, isn't this Mr. Xu Er? Do you know these two people?"
Xu Hanqi: "We just met. My dad said that they were washing dishes in the store a few days ago. They broke a few dishes and ran away, causing heavy losses to my family. My dad heard from others that they were here, so he asked me to bring them back and let them work for free for a period of time to make up for my family's losses.
Are they your people? Then you came at the right time. You are the boss, and you have to pay for the broken plates. Considering that we have known each other for so many years, you should pay 200 US dollars. "
Chen Wuming sneered, "I thought we were the only ones with evil hearts, but it turns out you're even more evil than us. What kind of plate is that in your house? Is it worth $200? Also, these two people are not my men, so don't put the blame on them!"
Xu Hanqi: "Since you don't know them, there's no need to talk. I'll take them back to work."
With the protection of the Third Master, the Xu family did not dare to challenge Xu Hanqi and signaled his brothers to make way.
He could only ask the store owner to get back his losses and grievances tonight...
After Xu Hanqi took Shen Qingran's two companions away, Chen Wuming and his brothers pulled out the restaurant owner and demanded $1000. If he didn't give them the money, they would smash the store.
The boss was furious. He was really unlucky today. Everyone came to blackmail him!
The shop owner didn't dare to confront Chen Wuming and his friends, so in order to get rid of these troublemakers as soon as possible, he reluctantly paid 1000 US dollars.
When he first bought the store, he thought it had a good location and a large customer flow, and thought that if he managed it well, he could make a lot of money in a year.
After he took over the business, he realized that there were more troubles than he had imagined. Every few days, thugs would come to collect money, and if he didn't give them, they would smash the store.
The police don't care about what happens in Chinatown. It's useless to call the police. Once he calls the police, he will be retaliated against even more severely.
The boss deeply regretted buying the store and blamed Shen Qingran for being too pretty, otherwise what happened tonight would not have happened and he would not have lost more than $1000 in vain.
I can no longer find pretty girls to be waitresses...
Xu Hanqi took Shen Qingran's two companions to the clinic for a check-up. They were all skin injuries and would be fine after applying some medicine and resting for a few days.
After bandaging the wound, Xu Hanqi took the two of them back to his restaurant, reunited with Shen Qingran, and gave her the requested salary.
It was obvious at first glance that Chen Wuming and his gang were the local bosses here. After what happened tonight, other stores probably wouldn't dare to hire them. But without jobs, their food and drink would become a problem in the future. Shen Qingran carefully asked Xu Ce if their store was short of handymen.
Xu Ce recalled the sad experience when his family first came to the United States. He sympathized with Shen Qingran and the others' situation, and knew that they needed money to survive here.
“My restaurant is not short of staff, and you just had a conflict with Chen Wuming and his gang. They won’t give up until they get the upper hand. You are not suitable to appear in public in the short term.
My wife owns a clothing store. All the clothes are designed and made by herself. She has cooperation with some shops and schools. She needs to rush the work recently and she is in need of help. I can recommend you to help.
However, she is paid by piecework, with income ranging from 10 cents to $1 depending on the process. If she is quick, she can earn more than dollars a day.
You guys can work on it for a few days first, and when you are familiar with it, you can take some of the fabrics and accessories back to the dormitory and give them to her after processing. This way you don’t have to run back and forth and delay your school time.”
Shen Qingran said happily: "Thank you, Uncle Xu! We will definitely do our best. When is it convenient for you to take us to meet Miss."
Xu Ce: "You can do it right now. Your Miss Wen's clothing store is just across from my restaurant. Their processing workshop is behind the store and upstairs. Let Hanqi take you there."
Shen Qingran: "Okay, thank you!"
With Xu Hanqi's introduction, Wen Xin directly took Shen Qingran and others to familiarize themselves with the workshop, and promised that they could come to work at any time.
Although Wen Xin's production workshop is small, it is almost entirely machine-operated, and only slight human assistance is required.
It was the first time that Shen Qingran and his friends saw how advanced sewing machines and overlock machines worked efficiently, and they couldn't help but sigh at the gap in industrialization between their country and the United States.
Shen Qingran thought about it, took the cloth back to the dormitory, and worked hard on it with his hands for a whole day, but it was still less than an hour of work with a machine.
After discussing with her companions, she decided to bring some simple work such as making hair accessories and buttoning back to the dormitory, and do complicated processes such as making clothes in the workshop with machines. In this way, she can earn a lot of money in a month.
With stable jobs, Shen Qingran and his friends no longer have to worry about living expenses and can focus on their studies...
On January 79, 1 (the second day of the first lunar month), the central government removed the labels of the five evil categories of people, including landlords and rich peasants.
The Central Committee decided that, except for a very small number of people who persisted in their reactionary positions and had not yet been reformed, all landlords, rich peasants, counter-revolutionaries and bad elements who had obeyed the law, worked honestly and not done bad things for many years would have their labels removed and enjoy the treatment of ordinary citizens after being evaluated by the masses and approved by the local government.
In terms of admission, recruitment, joining the army, joining the Youth League, joining the Party and job assignment, the main consideration is political performance.
In special periods, capitalists belong to the five categories of hei personnel. After the new policy comes out, they only need to submit information and after approval, the hat on their body can be taken off...
When Xu Man saw the news in the newspaper, she was so excited that tears came to her eyes. She finally had the chance to regain her civilian status!
As soon as Wang Chengnan saw the new policy, he went to submit information for Xu Man, all the Xu family members, and Xue Wanyi.
Because they had performed well over the years and Wang Chengnan acted as a guarantor, the review documents were quickly approved...
