Chapter 43

  "She is also a graduate of F University, and didn't pass the exam twice. Well, I myself don't want to take the exam, but looking at the questions, it's really difficult." Director Feng Lei asked the new assistant, "Is there anyone in your class who didn't pass this year?"

  "More than half didn't pass. This exam is really difficult, and it's different from what we usually learn. If you don't do well in any subject, the total score will be hard to pass, and even if you're just one point short, you can only take it again next year. It's even harder than the certified public accountant exam." Chen Huasheng didn't mean to brag, let alone that even among her classmates, there were two people who scored higher than her, which shows that there are many geniuses in this world.

  Feng Lei was very satisfied with Chen Huaisheng's calm attitude: Such people are not uncommon, but it is rare to get them under one's own banner.

  The next day, Chen Hui-cheng sat in the passenger seat of his boss's car and went out to handle business.

  "Little Chen, can you drive?"

  I don't have a driver's license.

  Most small and medium-sized enterprises do not have a full-time driver, and most of them are driven by the boss and accompanied by employees.

  "Hmm... when should I go sign up for driving school? The training fee can be reimbursed."

  "......Alright."

  The new boss seems to understand her meaning and will open it, but without a license. So he made an offer, reimbursing the driving school training fee as the cost of being a part-time driver.

  And she agreed.

  The contract is hereby concluded.

  After all, the driving school fees are in the thousands, and she can't afford to pay them at once. Going through the trouble of getting a credit card to pay in installments with handling fees is also a loss. Not to mention buying a car and license plate. Therefore, Chen Huisheng has an advantage in the short term, but the boss has an advantage in the medium to long term.

  Thinking back to the previous generation, how much was the income of the first job? The boss gave 1,400 or a generous móyàng (a unit of currency), an income below 2,000 that seemed to have been taken for three years...

  Nowadays, many things have changed. For example, she is studying and working in S city, and her mother has invested their savings in real estate instead of losing it to her father's mistakes, so they will have a more comfortable life after retirement. As for herself... probably even if she meets that person again, she won't go back to the original path... or maybe she just won't run into that person at all!

  Some scattered thoughts, casually responding to the boss's topic, and then opening a small section of road, arrived at the customer's factory.

  Visiting companies is a familiar task for Chen Huasheng, although with different identities and footholds, what types of companies will encounter which problems, people who have not been in contact before really don't understand these things.

  The company is having issues with collective labor contracts and labor disputes, but is still hesitant to spend money on hiring a long-term legal consultant.

  “……Charlotte, do you have any additional statements to make?” Director Fang saw the people in front of him, dressed in Western-style suits that were a mix of Chinese and English, but refused to properly provide social insurance for workers. Of course, many times migrant workers from other places are also unwilling to pay social insurance outside their hometowns, and even more so refuse to transfer their social insurance back to their hometown cities. They would rather have the money in hand.

  "My personal suggestion is to purchase group accidental insurance for all employees at a relatively small cost, in order to prevent major troubles in the future. For example, if all employees ride bicycles to and from work, and there are many vehicles traveling at high speeds near the company entrance, in the event of an accident, the insurance company can resolve many issues without you needing to incur additional lawyer fees... Another example is that previously we spent thousands of dollars hiring a lawyer for changes, I think as long as the company has a responsible administrative staff member who goes to the business registration department a few more times, it can be resolved by just paying transportation costs."

  Chen Huasheng spoke in English and Chinese, with a noticeable British accent. Although there were slight differences between the two languages, what he said left his listeners stunned.

  The corners of Feng Lei's mouth curled up, very pleased: Really made a big profit!

  Feng Lei happily took Chen Huai Cheng to her own beauty salon after a group of bird people went away to think and study.

  "What do you think of this company?"

  "Even if they don't cheat, it's hard to guarantee that nothing will happen in those Taiwanese SMEs." Chen Hui stopped for a moment, "Moreover, I think their workshop has potential safety hazards. So many people, only one exit, no safe passage or fire extinguishers, the warehouse and processing area are almost together, things are piled up very messily...and there's no insurance at all. If a fire breaks out, so many people...whoever is their legal advisor will be unlucky."

  This company reminds her of the production accident in the previous life that was so loud and intense that it almost wiped out the development achievements of a strong county-level city. In that accident, those who died or were injured did not have social insurance, medical insurance, work injury insurance, or accidental injury insurance. I remember that at that time, a senior human resources manager told me that the biggest failure in the management of this company was not buying accidental injury insurance, which led to the complete collapse of the operating side and even dragged down many other Taiwanese companies.

  "Ah, no wonder you suddenly asked if there was a fire drill."

  "Such factories are prone to accidents, and once an accident occurs, the boss's first reaction is to run back home, leaving unpaid wages and supplier debts. No sense of responsibility, no integrity." Oh, she hasn't even mentioned that the most untrustworthy ones are Korean-funded small and medium-sized enterprises, whose level of dishonesty is so low and their influence so bad that it's comparable to Ponzi schemes - she was unlucky enough to be assigned to deal with such cases in her previous life, resulting in her being so angry that she almost died. As a result, except for direct investment subsidiaries of large companies like Samsung, she has been proclaiming everywhere that the promises made by Korean entrepreneurs are no different from farting. "A relative of ours used to trust this kind of Asian entrepreneur and was cheated out of a lot of money."

  "I didn't notice anything about the fire department, I'm worried that their workers will make trouble sooner or later." Feng Lei no longer considers Chen Huai as a newcomer assistant. Even people who have worked for many years may not understand so many things. "There are many things at stake, and workers' rights are often 'contagious'. Little Chen, if they ask you to be their legal advisor, I mean if that happens, then you go talk to them yourself. I still suggest not to take it full-time, because the price they offer won't be high, it's not worth it for you."

  "Alright, I reckon it's pointless negotiating with them too, and transportation is also a problem."

  "Hmm, at most one or two days a week, and you still need to spare some time to give suggestions to the beauty salon!" Fang Lei wasn't a naive girl, she didn't completely believe Chen Xiao's words about opening an online store, but it was within her interests. "This afternoon, think about their draft collective contract. Tonight we'll go to the salon again."

  As expected, Chen Hui's eyebrows opened and he smiled. What I lack most now is suppliers and practical experience, and I don't have a good grasp of how far the online store can go. The only thing I can be sure of is that I still need another job to make a living.

  Right, it seems like many people don't know they have a job?

  While having lunch, Chen Haotian sent a few text messages saying that he had found an assistant job at a law firm. Then, the translation agency also confirmed another translation, unfortunately it was handwritten - not having a computer is really inconvenient, and I have to go to the internet cafe to check.

  In the afternoon, she first found driving school materials, made a phone call, then searched for templates in the library and online, and went to the talent market. At dinner time, she returned home and organized her things. When the boss called her downstairs to walk together, she had also printed out the draft on both sides.

  Beside her, fellow graduates at least have some working experience, if not they would change jobs, like she did in her past life.

  But now she doesn't have it, nor does she need it.
