The onlookers were stunned, this guy is amazing, turning a totally losing game into a crushing victory.
Yang Chen nodded with admiration, finished his drink in one go, and left.
To maximize his time, Yang Chen picked up another order along the way.
The passenger was a foreign girl with black hair, she looked like she was from one of those oil-rich countries.
Yang Chen confirmed the phone number with the girl and drove her to Tangchen Yipin.
The foreign girl asked in fairly fluent Dragon Country language, "Driver, do you know where I can find a translation job?"
Yang Chen looked at her with surprise, she’s living at Tangchen Yipin and still needs to look for such a job?
The rent there is in the tens of thousands a month, what kind of translation job could pay that much?
Nevertheless, since she asked, whether he knew or not, Yang Chen decided to answer.
"Do you know how to do foreign trade? If you do, I could recommend you to a couple of companies for interviews." Yang Chen asked.
The girl nodded and said, "Yes, yes. How much would the salary be? Can I earn a million a month?"
Holy crap, Yang Chen was so startled he almost slammed on the brakes.
A million a month, that’s a bit of an unrealistic demand.
Even if she was translating Martian, it shouldn’t pay that much.
Yang Chen smiled and asked, "Miss, do you perhaps have some misunderstandings about money or numbers? The average salary in Hai City is just over nine thousand, and the average salary in the whole Dragon Country is just over a thousand. Finding a job that pays a million a month is a bit unrealistic. To put it this way, that kind of salary isn’t earned from a job, it comes from business, or it’s a position like a CEO of some big company."
The girl reasonably stated, "But if it’s below that number, it’s not enough for me! At home, my monthly pocket money is about 500,000 Golden Ram, which is around 900,000 in your Dragon Country currency. But I feel like that’s a bit tight, so I want to find a job with a monthly salary around a million so I can live a little more comfortably."
This is crazy, isn’t it?
A girl with a monthly pocket money of 500,000 Golden Ram, does she really need a job?
This is nonsense, isn’t it?
Yang Chen replied with a smile, "Your spending level is too high, we probably don’t have a job suitable for you around here. I think you should contact your family; only your family’s pocket money can meet your needs, you definitely couldn’t earn that much from a job."
The girl shook her head immediately and said, "No way, I’m only here because I’m dissatisfied with the marriage my family arranged for me and ran away from Jinbai to here. If I contact home, they’ll definitely use diplomatic channels to bring me back. I can’t contact my family, at worst I’ll just spend a little less, only spend 100,000 Dragon Country Coin a month, so I can make it last a little longer."
Whoa, this is a wealthy Jinbai family, oh no, someone who can use diplomatic channels to bring her back must be a member of the royal family.
In that oil-rich country, women still have a very low status, not to mention ordinary women, even princesses don’t have much status.
There are more than a few cases of 18-year-old princesses marrying 50-year-old men for political marriages.
So, her saying she ran away because she was unhappy with her family’s arranged marriage is not impossible.
Yang Chen: "Then why don’t you go to Europe or the United States, maybe they could meet your needs there."
The girl shook her head and said, "I went, but they brought me back each time. So I ran to the Dragon Country this time, as long as I hide well, they definitely won’t find me."
Yang Chen nodded without speaking further.
Anyway, he couldn’t help her, she’d have to find a way to deal with life herself.
Soon, Yang Chen brought the girl to Tangchen Yipin.
The rent here is in the tens of thousands, but now that she plans to spend less, she asked again, "Do you know where I can find a clean and hygienic house to rent? Preferably with a large balcony where I can enjoy the view."
Yang Chen: "Yes! You can check out Longteng Garden, all the houses there are new, six-floor small villas, each with a large balcony, next to a park with woods and lakes, the scenery is nice. If you need, I can call them and ask them to give you a discount."
The girl asked again, "Are there high-paying jobs in the vicinity? I’d be okay with a job paying less than a million a month, just not too low."
Yang Chen was really speechless, she has no idea what living normally entails.
In her world, it’s effortless, with a monthly pocket money of hundreds of thousands and everything else taken care of, it seems like in her understanding, everyone worldwide can get hundreds of thousands in pocket money a month.
Yang Chen shook his head and said, "That place isn’t like here, there aren’t such high-paying jobs. But I think with your current situation, saving money is earning money, isn’t it?"
The girl nodded and said, "That’s true."
At this moment, Chairman Pu Chunhua of Longlian Supermarket Group called Yang Chen.
Yang Chen quickly answered the phone, "Hello, Chairman Pu, what’s up?"
Pu Chunhua: "Mr. Yang, I apologize for disturbing you so late. There’s a problem with a batch of goods our import-export company sent to Africa being transshipped through Jinbai, they’ve been detained over there. Some pork products were stolen by workers and flowed into the market, and they felt that we disrespected their customs, so they detained all our goods. This batch is worth over 80 million and can’t be detained. Plus, some goods can’t stay long, or they’ll spoil, which would be a huge loss for us. Mainly, I’m worried if this batch has issues, any future exports passing through Jinbai might also be detained and inspected, increasing our difficulties."
