"Sorry, we can't introduce you to a job without a social security number."
······
"When you go to the factory, you will also need your social security card number. The factory will look at your past credit record, and according to Chenxi City law, all employers must purchase social insurance for their employees."
"Are there any jobs that don't require a social security card number? I don't know about that. We are a formal employment agency. You can go to other agencies and ask. I'm sorry."
······
"Sorry... Without a social security card number, the employer cannot confirm the identity of the employee. If something goes wrong at that time, our employment agency will also be responsible. You can go to other companies to ask."
······
I asked several large employment agencies in succession, and the responses I received were basically polite rejections.
Employers may not necessarily purchase social insurance for their employees in accordance with the law, but they must see their employees' social security numbers to ensure that they will not recruit criminals and that their own interests will not be damaged.
After all, the vast majority of people in the Commonwealth have a Social Security number since they were born. Not having a Social Security number proves that there is something wrong with that person.
You say you are a wilderness wanderer, but you may not really be a wilderness wanderer.
Of course, by talking to the staff of these employment agencies, He Ao also learned that no company dares to recruit real wilderness wanderers.
The reason is simple. The city-entry visa for wilderness wanderers generally has an expiration date.
The short-term travel visas obtained by He Ao and Penny are generally valid for only seven days.
According to the laws of Chenxi City, after the travel visa expires, you can continue to renew it at the Chenxi City Defense Force Exit and Entry Management Office. In theory, the renewal can be extended indefinitely.
But generally if a wilderness wanderer stays in the city for 28 consecutive days in a month, the city defense army will most likely not renew his visa, and may even refuse to issue him a new visa in the next few months.
.
In this regard, the general reason given by the city defense army for refusal is that [it may affect the security of the city]
Why does it affect the safety of the city?
Because it is difficult for wilderness wanderers to find stable jobs in the city, since they cannot find jobs, the city defense army has the motive to suspect that the wanderers are doing some illegal things in the city.
Once the visa expires and cannot be renewed, the wilderness wanderer will be forcibly expelled from the city.
This makes companies worry about whether wilderness wanderers can have stable jobs after hiring wilderness wanderers. After all, recruiting people also costs money.
If you can't find a stable job, you won't be able to get a long-term visa, which in turn will affect your job search.
This makes it difficult for wilderness wanderers to stay in the city for a long time.
In the past, Ronald came to the city in a hurry, traded furs and left. All he knew was that his visa could be renewed indefinitely, but he did not know that the city defense army would refuse to grant a new visa if he stayed in the city for a long time.
A limousine passed through the street, and the wind blew Penny's short hair.
The little girl was obviously a little frustrated, "Is it so hard to find a job in the city? Chief, where should we go next?"
"Go to the Social Security Group."
He Ao looked at the vast steel jungle ahead and said softly.
Cities do not welcome wilderness wanderers.
——
The two took a taxi to the Social Security Group Building.
The Social Security Group building is not high and looks very old.
Only the first and second floors of the entire building are reception halls, and the third floor and above are office buildings.
Nowadays, most social security cards are applied online and issued by mail.
After a newborn is born, parents only need to fill out a simple form online and attach a birth certificate issued by a hospital with a formal business license to apply for a social security card for their child.
The Social Security Group will verify the authenticity of the information in the form, and then send a new social security card to the residential address filled in the application form within one week.
Handling pension insurance, retirement and other businesses can also be confirmed remotely online. Basically, people can complete most of the business without leaving home.
Therefore, most of the employees of the Social Security Group are responsible for online services, and there are very few windows for offline services. Offline windows are generally used to handle some complex special situations.
For example, adults apply for a new card.
There were not many people in the hall and it was quite empty.
He Ao took the number, waited for almost half an hour, and sat in front of the window.
"Hello, do you want to apply for a new social security card?"
The staff member was a little girl with a sweet voice and golden curly hair. She looked at He Ao with a smile and asked softly.
"Yes."
He Ao nodded slightly.
"Please show your birth certificate and passport." The staff said gently, "Passports and birth certificates other than those from Chenxi City are acceptable. We will contact the group branch where your birthplace is to verify the information."
“Is it okay without a birth certificate and passport?”
"If your birth certificate is lost, you can tell me the hospital and time of your birth, as well as your registered name at the time, and we can verify it. Similarly, if your passport is lost, you can tell us your passport code.
We can also contact the city government for enquiries.”
"I am a wilderness wanderer."
He Ao said calmly.
"ah?"
The staff member was stunned for a moment. She seemed to have never encountered such a situation before. Then she thought for a moment, stood up slowly, and whispered to He Ao, "Please wait a moment, I need to ask my supervisor."
Then she walked backstage.
After a while, a capable woman with a ponytail and black hair, who looked to be in her forties and neatly dressed in uniform, appeared behind the window together with the staff just now.
She showed an apologetic smile to He Ao, "Sorry, according to the group's regulations, we cannot apply for social security cards for wilderness wanderers now. If you only have a passport and no birth certificate, you can also apply for a social security card, but the passport and birth certificate
If there are none, then there is nothing we can do.”
He Ao looked into her eyes and nodded gently, "Okay, thank you."
Then he got up and walked to the waiting area.
Petunia saw him coming and stood up hesitantly, "Chief, how are you doing?"
He Ao shook his head, "No."
Penny was stunned and sighed slowly, "It's really difficult to live in the city."
He Ao didn't say anything, but just led Penny outside the social security building.
The supervisor's words just now revealed another piece of information. It is possible to apply for a social security card without a birth certificate and only a passport.
However, a birth certificate is required to apply for a passport.
After the newborn is born, with the birth certificate issued by a regular hospital, the parents go to the city hall to apply for a local passport for the child.
You don't need a birth certificate, you only need a passport to apply for a social security card. It can be understood that since you have a passport, it proves that the city government believes that you were born here and the birth certificate has been verified, so there is no need for a birth certificate.
However, judging from the requirements for adults to bring a birth certificate and passport when applying for a social security card, the social security group does not require a birth certificate.
There is another interpretation of this sentence, that is, someone can bypass the 'birth' and obtain a passport directly from the city hall.
This kind of passport is also recognized by the social security group.
But even if there is a way to directly obtain a Chenxi City passport, this method has not been made public, and it may not be that easy to prove.
Although according to He Ao's current C-level strength, no matter how high the threshold is, it is possible to achieve it, but he has to consider not only himself, but also the more than a hundred wilderness wanderers in the camp. Most of these wilderness wanderers are ordinary people.
people.
"Chief, where should we go next?"
Penny followed He Ao out of the Social Security Building and looked at the sun setting in the sky.
"No Christos! No Christos!"
At this moment, a pair of marching people slowly passed by them.
“We don’t want this extreme new mayor!”
They held a portrait of Christos with a red cross on it and a huge banner that read "No Christos", and crowded through the streets.
He Ao took a glance and found that York, the wilderness hunter who had accosted them last night, was also among them.
"Bah," a curse came from behind, "the bastards who are paid to parade will do anything for the petty profit in front of them."
He Ao turned around and found a group of young boys and girls standing behind him. The curse just now came from one of these boys and girls.
The leader of this team is a girl with a camera on her chest, a high ponytail, who looks to be eighteen or nineteen years old, and has a face full of freckles.
