Chapter 14: Apply for a Job
Facing the conditions offered by Liang Xi, Lao Ying was mad inside. He knew there were detectives near the coffee shop. Liang Xi called him carelessly, and he didn't know if Liang Xi was stupid. How to trade now? As long as he sat next to Liang Xi, his identity would be exposed immediately.
Liang Xi: "If you don't have time, you can give the cash to the courier and have him deliver it to the cafe. However, I would like to state in advance that I will not be responsible for anything after the item is handed over to the courier, and I will not refund the money."
"Why not tomorrow?" the eagle asked.
Liang Xi replied: "I am a superstitious person. I had my fortune told 20 years ago, and the fortune teller told me that I must not trade face to face tomorrow, otherwise there will be a bloody disaster tonight."
Old Eagle understood what Liang Xi meant. He was worried that he would take things away without spending a penny tonight. Although he did intend to do so, he would never admit it. Old Eagle tried to be as patient as possible: "You have to believe me, nothing will happen tonight."
Liang Xi: "You want me to believe you?"
Eagle: "Yes, I am someone you can trust."
Liang Xi: "You said you were in Oxford."
Eagle: “Yes.”
Liang Xi: "But I know you are in London. Tell me, how can I trust you?"
The old eagle was speechless for a long time, then said, "Two hundred thousand, two hundred thousand pounds, all in small denomination notes."
Liang Xi said: "Take a photo of a small-denomination bill of 200,000 yuan and give it to me. If it is there, I will believe you."
The old eagle said, "I don't have it now, but I will definitely have it tomorrow."
Liang Xi sighed deeply: "Forget it, since you are so sincere, I will tell you for free. The thing is in room 701, in the half bottle of Thai herbal cream in the trash can of the bathroom, it is a flash memory." Fifty thousand pounds flew away, and there was no place to reimburse the gas money. There was no way, the other party had no sincerity in the transaction. Liang Xi knew that there were police outside, but you didn't take any risks, but asked me to take risks, what do you think I would do?
The truly sincere approach is to give Liang Xi 50,000 pounds at the beginning, and Liang Xi will naturally tell him the location of the things through the website on the business card. Eagle showed that he was anxious to get the things, but not anxious to pay. This shows that Eagle is concerned about whether he can get the things, and ignores whether Liang Xi can get the money.
As soon as Liang Xi finished speaking, Mark immediately shouted: "GO, GO, GO!"
The flash memory was not originally in the green grass paste of 701, but in the hollow leg of the sofa of 1503, and was glued to the inner wall of the sofa leg. If it is daytime, even if you find the sofa leg, you can't see the flash memory unless you use a flashlight. The hiding place is not very good, but this is not the purpose of Liang Xi to move the flash memory. The flash memory was moved because the green grass paste will slowly corrode the flash memory, which is equivalent to a time destroyer.
When they confirmed that the person at the door of the apartment was an agent, they decided that Liang Xi could not blackmail the bad guys with the flash drive. This was also one of the reasons why Liang Xi did not agree to the deal tomorrow, because Liang Xi was not sure whether the flash drive would still be usable tomorrow.
Will the green herb paste corrode the flash memory? Liang Xi didn't know, but the green herb paste was the only thing he found at the scene that could corrode the flash memory.
The eagle was hoping for a lucky break. Unfortunately, the hummingbird soon told him that there were police cars downstairs. The eagle was very upset by this setback, but after fully understanding John's information, he realized that the current Liang Xi was no longer the Liang Xi that Uncle Black knew. It was a mistake for him to underestimate Liang Xi, and the biggest mistake was that he did not track down the information of the Rose Detective John, thinking that he was just an ordinary detective.
The Eagle announced: "Operation failed, destroy all data, evacuate the UK."
…
Liang Xi, who didn't make 50,000 pounds, could only continue to work at the detective agency every day and wait for job calls. In the past few days, students who had traveled to relax after graduation have returned to China one after another. Liang Xi has a good relationship with his classmates. He answers calls whenever he gets one and takes time to communicate with his classmates using social software. The topic that his classmates are talking about now is basically employment.
Before he could catch the job offer from his classmates, Liang Xi received a call for an interview, a part-time job with an hourly wage of up to £80. However, it was not a regular job and he was required to report when leaving London. If he was in London, he had to arrive at the workplace within half an hour after receiving the job call.
Such a high hourly wage position is the Chinese translator for the London Metropolitan Police.
80 pounds, half an hour a day to support yourself, is there any job that can make more money than this? Note that this is hourly wages. If you need to translate a contract yourself, you can work for three days and three nights, and you can have enough living expenses for a year.
The next day, Liang Xi changed into a suit and drove to London Metropolitan Police Station with confidence. After entering the door, he followed the instructions to the meeting room on the second floor. There were already more than 20 people sitting here, and some people were learning Chinese temporarily. After all, the hourly wage was 80 pounds. The bad news followed. Liang Xi found that the interviewees also included Chinese who had just immigrated to the UK.
It is so shameless that an English teacher who has lived in a Chinese environment for 40 years actually came to the UK to compete for Chinese translation. Where is fairness? Where is justice?
A girl in police uniform explained to the applicants that since the interview would take a long time, they would have to do an interview before the interview. The implication was that the first round of simple interviews would eliminate those who were just filling in the numbers. One by one, the interviewees came forward to be questioned, and each person had only half a minute of interview time. Half of them were eliminated at this stage.
Liang Xi sat down, and the girl looked through Liang Xi's reward: "Chinese?"
Liang Xi nodded: "Yes."
Girl: "Taking Chinese as an elective major in college?" Do you have any shame?
Liang Xi nodded: "Yes." Face or diploma? Liang Xi chose the latter.
The girl just threw a number plate to her. She was not in the mood to show off her skills.
…
A total of 13 people participated in the second round of interviews, half of whom were Chinese. The interview content was to translate a piece of English news into Chinese and another piece of Chinese news into English.
To be honest, it was not a big deal for Liang Xi. But Liang Xi's English was a little bit of a problem. His English was quite good, but not very good. The 40-year-old immigrant English teacher was the first to hand in his paper, and the examiner gave him a very high evaluation and praised him greatly. His tone meant to tell the other interviewees: You can go away, don't waste my time.
Liang Xi was the second to hand in her paper. The interviewer was a white woman in her forties with average skills. She checked her two answers word for word. Of course, if her skills were really high, the police department wouldn't have to hire an hourly translator. After a long time, the interviewer said to Liang Xi with regret: "Your results are very good, but there is a spelling error in your English."
Liang Xi disagreed and said, "In addition to Chinese, I am also fluent in Cantonese, Minnan, Hakka and Chaoshan."
The interviewer showed interest: "Say something in Minnan dialect."
Liang Xi: "Ni Niang card queen?"
Interviewer: “What do you mean?”
Liang Xi replied: "How is your mother's health?"
Interviewer: “Cantonese.”
Liang Xi: "Black and muddy thunder, spicy double flames, freezing and burning."
Interviewer: “What do you mean?”
Liang Xi replied: "I really like your beautiful eyes."
Without saying a word, the interviewer took the stamp and stamped it on the resume: "Keep your phone turned on." Just based on Liang Xi's words, it is enough to prove that Liang Xi is an honest boy.
Liang Xi shook hands with the interviewer: "Thank you."
The interviewer watched Liang Xi leave and said to the other interviewees: "The interview is over. Thank you everyone, goodbye."
