Chapter 161 Another Choice (Part 3)
The train started slowly.
Wang Haoran, sitting in the soft sleeper, and Mu Ziying, sitting on the upper bunk, looked out the window at the city slowly receding, and then they seemed to have entered a green world of rice fields and jungles.
This was the first time they had taken such a slow train.
In fact, the speed of the train in front of them is actually quite fast.
After the upgrade and renovation by Qingye Group, the old railway before Hongsawadi not only has much better road conditions, but the speed has also been increased to 70 to 90 kilometers per hour.
This experience, which seemed like going back to the last century, actually made the migrant workers who had left their hometowns feel a little bit novel.
"Excuse me..."
The flight attendant pushed the cart and introduced the food to them in fluent Mandarin: "This is lunch. There are curry chicken rice, black pepper steak rice, and braised pork trotter rice. What do you need..."
"How much is one serving?" Wang Haoran asked quickly.
The flight attendant smiled and said, "You are prospective employees, so you can enjoy employee treatment, 5 gold yuan per serving, and a bottle of lemon tea for free."
"Uh... is this train owned by the company?" Wang Haoran pulled out a five-yuan note from his wallet: "One serving of black pepper steak and rice."
"A serving of curry chicken rice." Mu Ziying also took out a five-yuan gold note.
The flight attendant quickly brought the two people a still-warm lunch box and two bottles of lemon tea: "Thank you for your patronage. The company has many businesses. Anything with green leaves belongs to the company."
"I see. Your Mandarin is really good."
"Because I am a Kachin!" The flight attendant smiled and waved to the two of them.
Looking at the green leaf logo on the lunch box, Wang Haoran opened it. Inside was rice similar to Indian rice, followed by a large piece of steak, cherry tomatoes and pickles.
After taking a bite of the beef, he raised his eyebrows. It was very tender, and the flavor after being fried and grilled was very strong.
"So cheap? This should be the famous Haitian artificial beef in Southeast Asia, right?"
The person walking next door was muttering to himself.
Wang Haoran didn't care about this. He thought that asking for natural beef for a 5 yuan lunch box was probably just a daydream.
You should know that according to the indirect exchange rate, 5 gold yuan is now roughly equivalent to 3.6 Huayuan. At this price in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, you can't even buy beef or boxed lunches.
Since the ingredients were good and the company had very strict requirements for the kitchen, the lunch tasted pretty good. Wang Haoran finished it in no time and drank most of the glass bottle of lemon tea:
"Burp...comfortable!"
Half an hour later, the flight attendant pushed the cart to recycle the stainless steel lunch boxes and empty glass bottles.
Wang Haoran picked up a random topic: "Ziying, it seems that plastic bottles and plastic lunch boxes are rarely used here."
"Because the production cost is relatively low, the production cost of Hongsavadi's glass industry is the lowest in Southeast Asia and even in the world, so they use a lot of glass products."
While answering, Mu Ziying checked various websites in Hongsawadi on his old smartphone.
"As for lunch boxes and plastic bags, I heard that paper boxes and paper bags, bamboo baskets, and stainless steel boxes are used instead here. Plastic bags and plastic lunch boxes are banned in Hongsavadi."
Wang Haoran joked: "This is quite environmentally friendly."
But Mu Ziying shook his head: "It's not for environmental protection, but the oil production in Hongsavadi is insufficient. The limited oil needs to be supplied to industrial chemicals, so we need to avoid wasting oil on the production of plastic bags and fuel."
“Isn’t there an oil pipeline?”
"So what if there is a pipeline? Importing oil costs money, and this pipeline is not the main supply to Honsavadi. I guess they don't want to be strangled! I heard that Honsavadi and America have a very bad relationship."
Mu Ziying is very realistic, which may be related to his life experience. He has no illusions about this world.
While chatting, the train passed by endless rice fields and rivers.
That evening, they arrived at their work destination, Mandalay.
Although the role of geographical barriers has become very small in the face of modern weapons, the Mandalay region is still the most important strategic center of Hongsavadi.
This is one of the reasons why Sapiens chose to develop its industrial base here.
More than a dozen heavy industries, including
In order to strengthen the connection between these factories, a railway and highway around Mandalay were even started.
The next day, early in the morning.
Wang Haoran, who was not used to the hot weather in the south, got up from the temporary dormitory.
Since the first three months were the internship period, the company did not arrange real family-style dormitories, but instead arranged temporary dormitories.
In a dormitory room for two people.
After brushing his teeth and washing his face, Wang Haoran saw Mu Ziying holding a smartphone and making a call.
It was pitch black last night and neither of them had a good look at their surroundings. Now they can finally take a closer look at their surroundings.
To the south of the temporary dormitory is a large bare rice field, to the north is a highway, and across the highway is a small town.
Wu Fei, who is in charge of managing new employees, called together 27 new employees. These 27 people were all interns assigned to Aoba Airlines.
"Hello, I'm Wu Fei, the administrator of Nantian Dormitory. This is my business card. If you encounter any problems in the dormitory or outside, remember to find me."
Taking the business card, Wang Haoran took a look at it. On it was Wu Fei's name written in Chinese, English and Burmese, as well as her phone number, email address and Yemai ID (similar to a WeChat ID).
"You can add my Yemai account and I will add you to the group. This is an internal requirement of the company." Wu Fei continued:
"Now let me tell you a few important things. First, if you have any problems, you can report them to me or your superiors . If we can help you solve them, the company will not sit idly by. Don't think it's troublesome. The company is your home."
The crowd was somewhat skeptical, after all, they had heard this slogan many times.
"Second, you by yourselves, but don't mention your work to anyone other than the company staff. I don't think you want to be fired by the company for leaking information, right?"
"Third, you must keep your employee card safe. It is more important than your passport. Not only can you enjoy internal discounts, but if you have any problems, you can directly take your employee card to the nearby internal security stations and they will help you."
Everyone carefully looked at the employee card in their hands. The card was designed similarly to a bank card, with a headshot, name, job position and a series of numbers on the front, and a double helix gene sequence pattern similar to a gold dollar on the back.
"The last thing is, follow me and have dinner now."
Suddenly everyone started laughing.
Wang Haoran discovered that the cafeteria was not in the dormitory but in the town.
Wu Fei, who was in front, explained to them: "The whole town is full of people from the company. They have farm workers from agricultural cooperatives, supermarkets and banks, and restaurants."
The whole town is full of people from the company? They had heard about the tyranny of the Qingye Group in Hongshawadi a long time ago, but when they heard about this situation, Wang Haoran and others were still very surprised.
Entering the Nantian Farm Restaurant in Nantian Town, Wu Fei introduced them:
" There are four restaurants in Nantian Town, and you can eat in any of them. If you think the food is not tasty, or there is something wrong with the food, or the waiter's attitude is bad, you can complain on Yemaihao. Don't feel embarrassed, this is encouraged by the company. As long as the complaint is reasonable and well-founded, the company will reward points."
