Wear it quickly! My mad dog-like host!
Chapter 1058 Money 58
The winter sky is a little gray, and as the year draws to a close, the shops on the streets are hung with red decorations.
The music of "Congratulations on your fortune" overflowed from the shop, and passers-by all had satisfied smiles on their faces after hearing it. It seemed that they had made a lot of money this year and had enough money in their pockets.
This year, because of the annual meetings held by wealthy companies, there were so many foreigners on the streets that they almost outnumbered the Chinese.
"Xiao Rui, how are you going to spend this winter vacation?" The girl in the red down jacket withdrew her gaze from the foreigner who passed by her, and asked casually to her best friend while biting the milk tea straw in her hand.
The girl named Xiao Rui smiled with some pride, "I saved some money working as a part-time translator during the summer vacation, so I can spend it as I like during the winter vacation."
The girl's eyes were filled with envy after hearing this. She hugged her arm and rubbed it, "Ahhh, I'm so jealous, so envious!"
As she said this, there was no negative emotion in her eyes, but she was happy for her bestie. "Order me another cup of milk tea!"
"no problem!"
"You haven't told me yet, what are you going to do during the summer vacation?"
"I want to take some additional physical fitness classes. There will be a physical fitness test at the beginning of next school year, and I'm afraid I won't pass it..." When she said this, the girl who was so proud just now suddenly wilted, and her whole body revealed a gloomy look.
“Hahahahahaha!!!” Girls on the street laughed without hesitation.
"If you laugh again!" Xiao Rui's face was full of irritability. She shook off her best friend's hand and stood there angrily, glancing at her best friend out of the corner of her eye, waiting for her to coax her.
In other schools, the physical test includes long-distance running, sit-ups, etc., but in Tongxin School, the physical test is real martial arts fighting, the kind that punches into the flesh, and the passing conditions are strict. You need to fight with the instructor and only after the instructor confirms that you have passed!
If you fail, no matter how good your level of literature, art or skills is, you will have to repeat the grade.
Although I don’t know why the school has such a rule, students at Tongxin School will work hard to meet the standards.
Failure to meet the standards means that you will be demoted to another level of education.
Although that educational ladder has the same educational resources as them, they know that once they turn 18 or finish the college entrance examination, they will no longer enjoy certain preferential treatments provided by Tongxin Welfare Home.
Tongxin School never restricts them from understanding the outside world. It even leads or encourages them to understand the outside world. In addition to cultivating their abilities, it also cultivates their political sense.
Their thinking is far more mature than their peers.
They know very well what kind of life the children in ordinary orphanages live. They know even better what kind of education children of their age receive. They can even make some inferences about these people's future achievements.
Making trade-offs between interests and not wanting to fall behind others is their biggest motivation for learning!
The girl held back her laughter, thinking of her best friend who was knocked down by the instructor in a few moves, and suggested: "Instructor Tan said that she is on duty this year, you can ask her to give you extra lessons."
Xiao Rui shrank subconsciously, not caring about being angry, and raised her head and wailed, "But Instructor Tan's class is so painful!"
When the people around heard her words, they subconsciously looked over at her.
Her best friend stopped drinking her milk tea and dragged her away, “If you howl again, Instructor Tan will be cyberbullied.”
To be fair, Instructor Tan’s martial arts class is the class that can improve physical fitness the fastest.
The two of them ran across a street without blushing or breathing hard before stopping.
Xiao Rui asked her best friend, "An An, what about you? What part-time job do you have during the winter vacation?"
Tongxin School has a rule that they can only work part-time in this city and they need to report to the life teacher and obtain the teacher's consent before they can do so.
The only situation where you can leave the city to work part-time elsewhere is to go to a factory designated by a wealthy company. You also need to report to the life teacher and let the life teacher contact you.
An An raised his head and sighed, "I'll look for it tomorrow. If I can't find it, I'll go find the life teacher to contact the factory."
It is really hard to find part-time jobs and jobs in Yongning City. It’s not that there are no jobs, but they have all been taken by alumni in advance.
There are more than a thousand students in the high school department of our city's Tongxin School, and each of them has his or her own specialties. In addition, because they are over 16 but not yet 18 years old, many jobs are not suitable for them. Even if they are willing to do it, the life teacher will not agree.
"Isn't there any translation work for the teaching staff?" Xiao Rui didn't bother to find out about this because she didn't need a part-time job during the winter vacation.
An An's face fell, "Do you know how many people are competing with us?
Part-time tasks like these are shared by Tongxin School, and the total number of students in the high school departments of all Tongxin Schools is tens of thousands, plus now those little idiots in the middle school departments are also trying to snatch them from us..."
Each generation is stronger than the last. Every student at Tongxin School can speak several foreign languages. Only now do they realize that they were just lazy in learning languages in the beginning.
She said angrily: "So far, I have only managed to get a translation job that can be completed in two hours!"
"I still have to wait until school starts, when those little idiots are overwhelmed by their studies, before I have a chance...Huh?"
Her vicious expression froze, and she looked back over her best friend's body. When she saw a group of foreigners who were talking in a confusing manner with a few Chinese people, she listened carefully and her eyes lit up instantly.
"Here comes work!" She pulled her best friend and walked over quickly but steadily.
Two languages came out of his mouth one after another, "Hello, how can I help you?"
The two parties were stunned, and immediately a look of surprise appeared on their faces.
The man who had just quarreled with the foreigner pulled her sleeve and pointed at the pile of trinkets at her feet, "Little girl, come here, help translate. They stepped on our things, they have to pay for it!"
An An didn't rush to translate, but roughly estimated the price of these things and asked the man: "How much do you plan to ask them to pay?"
Those small accessories were soaked by mud and water, which did affect their second sale.
"Five thousand!" the man said without hesitation.
An An was speechless for a moment. Those little things together were worth at most five hundred, and that was the selling price. But it was none of her business.
She turned around and conveyed the man's request to the group of foreigners.
Foreigners are naturally unwilling to pay so much money. In recent years, new things have appeared in China again and again, causing a sensation internationally. They dare to come to China, naturally because they have understood the prices there.
The man rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Then call the police and let them handle it!"
The foreigners frowned when they heard An An's translation. Although they had heard that the Chinese police were different from those in their country, what would they do if the other party bullied them because they were foreigners and they stood on the other side?
Seeing that the foreigners stopped talking, a look of pride flashed in the man's eyes.
Seeing this, An An held out his hand to him, "Translation fee, fifty."
When the man heard this, his eyes widened, "You came up here on your own, I didn't ask you to help translate! Besides, you charge fifty for just a few words, you might as well just go and rob me!"
"?" She smiled and said, "Okay, it's her business now."
She took her hand back and took out her phone. "Then call the police. You should know how much these things are worth. He is a malicious blackmailer, and a foreigner at that. You know that we are cracking down on blackmail recently, and you will be detained for blackmail."
"Hey hey hey...wait a minute..." The man subconsciously wanted to grab the phone to stop her from making a call.
An An dodged backwards swiftly, "Talking is one thing, but why are you taking action?"
The man rubbed his hands and said flatteringly: "If you can get them to compensate me 5,000, I'll give you 500 as translation fee!"
An An: "One thousand."
The man gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, one thousand is one thousand!"
An An: "No, I mean your stuff is only worth one thousand, and you have to give me five hundred for translation."
The man's voice suddenly rose, "Are you really robbing me?!"
