Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 254 Uncle Ninth takes care of Effie’s employment
"Uncle Ninth, I may disappoint you. I really have no official status."

In the antique tea room, Li Jiankun sat at the Kung Fu tea table, helplessly spreading his hands.

Effie was next to him, and the girl had to follow him. She was like a frightened little white rabbit, sitting upright with her head drooped, and the tea cup in front of her was not touched.

Uncle Jiu murmured: "Am I overthinking it?"

"Uncle Jiu, there is something I don't know whether to say or not."

"But it doesn't matter."

"It's not that I don't care about you, I really can't. The war only ended last year, and the country is now full of waste. We can finally take a breath and vigorously develop people's livelihood."

Li Jiankun said slowly:

"The location of Kowloon Walled City can be said to be in the hinterland of Hong Kong City. If we intervene at this time, it will definitely trigger international disputes, and the good situation in front of us will immediately collapse. We have lagged behind developed countries for too many years. If we don't catch up, we really have no chance. .

"This is the big picture and I hope you understand."

Uncle Jiu looked at him carefully and said suspiciously: "You still say that you are not an official?"

Li Jiankun: "...really not."

"Then you know so much?"

"I... have a relatively high degree of education."

"How tall?"

"postgraduate."

Effie looked sideways, thinking that was no wonder.

"Even if you have a doctorate, you can't be so rich according to the salary level in mainland China. How about donating supplies worth [-] Hong Kong dollars?"

"I didn't join the system. I ran my own business and made a few small bucks."

"You don't want to be an official with such a high degree of education?"

"Maybe I'm a bit different and that's not my ambition."

Uncle Jiu asked a lot of questions like a water meter reader, and was finally forced to accept the fact that Li Jiankun was really not from the Yamen.

"I came to see you doing business and wanted to talk to you about business matters. After thinking about it, I decided not to do it. You have a high degree of education and a good character. You can make a fortune by following the right path. It's better not to make friends with people like me."

Uncle Jiu laughed at himself, and then changed the topic, "But I admire you, but I dare not say it elsewhere. If you encounter trouble in the Kowloon area in the future, you can contact me at any time."

"Thank you Uncle Jiu for your love. If I am really in trouble, I will always rely on you!"

After bidding farewell to Uncle Jiu, Abao led a group of people and sent Li Jiankun and Effie directly out of the Walled City without returning to the material distribution point.

Li Jiankun also achieved his goal, walked around and witnessed a piece of history.

At the same time, there was an unexpected gain from Uncle Jiu.

Living in Hong Kong in the 80s, it was hard to say whether you would encounter the Young and Dangerous. Regardless of this superficial relationship, you might be able to save your life at a critical moment.

"Master, go around the turntable a few times."

The taxi driver picked up the man and woman not far from Kowloon Walled City and didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he just did as he was told.

After confirming that he was not being followed, Li Jiankun asked the master to move on and return to Yuan Ji Hotel.

On the way to send them out, Abao reminded Li Jiankun of something, which made Li Jiankun understand that the Kowloon Walled City was actually still in a state of war, and there were frequent conflicts between the gangs supported by the British and their local gangs.

Back at the hotel, Effie looked at the time, went behind the counter to get her backpack, and said she was going to start work.

"Why are you still going? Didn't I say I would give you a job?"

Before being interrupted by Abao, this topic was only discussed once, and Effie almost forgot about it.Thinking of it at this time, Bulin's eyes were curious and inquiring.

"What work?"

"Multi-functional. You know Lin Xinjia? To tell you the truth, he is the only polished commander in the company at present, and you are the only one with me."

Leather bag company.Four words popped into Effie's mind.

Such companies can be found everywhere in Hong Kong City, and most of them engage in deception and abduction.

To be honest, Effie was repelled from the bottom of her heart.

But she also thought that the Mr. Li in front of her was not that kind of person.

"Can I ask about the salary?"

"Let's not talk about it for now. Let's see how you perform at work."

Li Jiankun has not yet discussed Lin Xinjia’s salary.

But Lin Xinjia should not think that his boss is a stingy person.

Effie was different. Li Jiankun didn't give her 3 yuan. She seemed a little hesitant for a moment, thinking that even if they were doing serious things, a company with only two people would undoubtedly still be a leather company.

Not even talking about salary...

It seems very unreliable.If she agrees, she will lose her two jobs there if she is not reliable here.

She forced herself to think calmly, and while she was sitting behind the counter wondering, there was a roar at the door, and Uncle Yuan's second-hand van came back.

When Li Jiankun went to the bathroom to drain the water, Effie grabbed Lao Yuan, explained the whole story, and asked him to help come up with ideas.

"You girl, you are usually very smart. Why are you confused at the critical moment? Do you still need to ask? Of course you are following Li Tong... Oh, I am not used to calling him. I have been away from the mainland for too many years. Let's call him Boss Li. I will definitely follow him. He's doing a great job! Are those two odd jobs of yours called jobs?"

Lao Yuan was afraid that she would not be able to think clearly, so he kept talking for a while.

"You didn't know Lin Xinjia before. Let me tell you about him. He came here three years ago and worked as a coolie in a garment factory. What's the matter? I must have been with this boss Li for only a few months. Look at him now. , I am also a boss when I go out. I may not have a lot of money, but the small money is really not bad.

“If people don’t tell you about your salary, they are testing you!

"Don't forget that he is from mainland China. He is very mysterious and has a big background!"

Effie scratched her head, "But he said that his family is farming."

"You believe this too?!"

Lao Yuan is angry. He doesn't understand why this girl's IQ seems to have dropped to zero today. How does Boss Li look like a farmer?If someone's temperament is that of a farmer, shouldn't a person like him be allowed to dig out excrement?
"What are we talking about?"

Li Jiankun waved his hand and walked over with a chuckle, "Old Yuan, get some food. I'll take her to the company in the afternoon."

"Hey, good!"

Lao Yuan gave Effie a fierce look and then got into the kitchen.

Effie was confused at this time. Does a leather bag company with a polished commander really have a company?
A quarter past one.

Kowloon, Mongkok, Chin Yip Building.

Li Jiankun led Effie to the 11th floor by taking the elevator. The aisle headed north. After walking about ten meters, he stopped.

Effie looked through the open glass door. In front of her was a company background wall with several black advertising words posted on it, and English underneath——

CHINA ELECTRONICS LIMITED.

Li Jiankun took the lead and walked in. After bypassing the background wall, the scene inside came into view.

Hoohoo!

Doesn’t the sense of class come out now?

There is a set of brown leather sofas and a modern glass coffee table next to the wall, and four high-end desks are neatly arranged on the other side.

There is a framed picture with large characters hanging on the wall: A journey of thousands of miles, a great future!
In the corners and beside the floor-to-ceiling windows, green plants are planted in large ceramic pots, full of green and spring.

Don't miss it, it's sixty square meters and has three single rooms.

Hearing the noise, Lin Xinjia rolled up his sleeves and walked out of an office with a screwdriver in hand.

"The boss is here. Hey, Affi is here too."

Effie looked at the scene in front of her, her head was buzzing, this is not some leather goods company, this is a serious modern company!
It is also the workplace that she longs for.

She dreamed of becoming a white-collar worker in an office, so she devoted herself to planning her life, working hard to acquire all kinds of knowledge and improve herself. She originally planned to achieve her goal before the age of 25, which would be considered a success.

Unexpectedly, this day came so suddenly and so quickly.

"How are you, Fei? Are you okay?" Li Jiankun turned around and asked.

"Uh-huh!"

"You work for a month first, and I will pay you a salary based on your performance. If you are in a hurry to use the money, you can advance it from the company first. Is there any problem?"

"no!"

"As for the job title, I mean the job title printed on the business card, assistant to the general manager. But in fact, there are only two of us, so just do whatever you have to do. It's actually quite leisurely at the moment, and there's not much to do."

"understand!"

Li Jiankun smiled and saw that Duobedong was a high-end translator, a professional accountant, and had good economics skills.

Where can I find such good employees?

"By the way, Xinjia, when will the phone be installed?"

Just like in the Mainland, if you want to install a phone these days, it’s useless to beg your grandfather and grandma. You must have different qualifications.

Here in Hong Kong City, landline telephones have long been popular. With a newspaper phone number, the telecommunications company will provide door-to-door service.

It's cheap, and definitely doesn't cost thousands.

"The appointment is for tomorrow."

Li Jiankun nodded, thinking that he would wait for the phone to be installed and try the line first.

There is a girl named Huang who fiercely warned him that if he dares not contact him when he comes to Hong Kong City, he will be killed...
