Hearing Shi Zhijian calling him, Hu Juncai didn't dare to stay in Shi Yufeng's room anymore, and hurriedly rushed over.
Shi Yufeng said from behind: "Juncai, please come and sit down if you have time. I still have a lot to say to you!"
"Don't worry, Sister Yufeng, sometimes I will definitely listen to you carefully when you express your concerns!" Hu Juncai stroked his middle parting with his hand, shook his head, and hurriedly left the room.
Like a thief, Hu Juncai came to Shi Zhijian's room and saw that he was packing up documents with a cigarette in his hand. Hu Juncai explained calmly: "Well... I didn't find the toilet, so I ran a little further away."
Shi Zhijian ignored what he said and just threw the packed briefcase to him, "Let's go!"
Hu Juncai was busy holding his briefcase and was stunned, "Where are you going?"
"Zou Wenhuai's family!"
…
Wan Chai, Lockhart Road.
In a high-end apartment, Zou Wenhuai, who was on vacation, was moving the goldfish in the fish tank to the balcony to bask in the sun.
The baby goldfish was swimming around in the fish tank. Zou Wenhuai pinched a little bit of fish food and sprinkled it in. The goldfish quickly devoured it all.
"Good guy, I'm so greedy! It looks like I'm going to change to a big fish tank soon. Can I change your house? Do you prefer a Chinese-style one or a Western-style one, or an independent mansion or a garden villa?"
Just as Zou Wenhuai was whispering to Jinyu, the doorbell rang outside.
Without looking back, Zou Wenhuai ordered the Filipino maid, "Jenny, open the door and see who's coming!"
After a moment, there was a creaking sound of the door opening coming from outside.
"Excuse me, does Mr. Zou Wenhuai live here?"
Zou Wenhuai recognized Shi Zhijian's voice.
Jenny shouted to him at the door: "Mr. Zou, someone is looking for you!"
"Got it!" Zou Wenhuai clapped his hands and patted the fish food stuck on his fingers into the fish tank.
Zou Wenhuai turned around and came to the living room. Shi Zhijian had been invited in by Jenny. Following Shi Zhijian was another student from No. 1 Middle School.
Zou Wenhuai pointed to the sofa, invited Shi Zhijian and the two of them to sit down casually, and asked Jenny to make three cups of coffee.
Shi Zhijian said: "Don't bother me, I'll stop for a while and leave."
"So urgent?"
"Yes, I have things to do and am very busy." Shi Zhijian got straight to the point, "Did I feel embarrassed last night?"
Zou Wenhuai adjusted his glasses, nodded and said, "This is not an ordinary embarrassment! The world will be in chaos after you leave!"
"Where's Mr. Shao? What's your reaction?"
"What kind of reaction can you have?" Zou Wenhuai took out a cigarette, took out one and handed it to Shi Zhijian, and then took another one and handed it to Hu Juncai. Hu Juncai waved his hands and said that he didn't know how to eat cigarettes.
"Mr. Shao's face turned dark! You're such a smart boy. You got drunk and almost turned the grand celebration party upside down! The worst thing was that senior consultant of the Water Supplies Department, Bai Ligao..."
Shi Zhijian took out the match and bent down to help Zou Wenhuai light the cigarette. He did not smoke his own, but played with it in his hand.
"That ghost guy was surrounded by reporters and couldn't get away. He was asked all the questions and there was no place to hide!" Zou Wenhuai blew out a puff of smoke, raised his head and looked directly at Shi Zhijian, "Seriously, what are you doing?
"
Shi Zhijian smiled, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zou Wenhuai: "This is an apology letter. Please help me pass it on to Mr. Shao!"
"A letter of apology?" Zou Wenhuai was slightly startled, "Why didn't you hand it in yourself?"
"You also said that Mr. Shao is angry now. If I go to him, wouldn't I be asking for trouble?"
Zou Wenhuai smiled bitterly, "What about me? Didn't I also get criticized in the past?"
"You are used to being criticized and you have immunity!"
"Tch, you kid!"
"Thank you in advance!"
"Okay, I won't do it next time!"
After saying this, Shi Zhijian stood up and left, returning the unsmoked cigarette to Zou Wenhuai, "If you don't have work, you should smoke less! Especially not such a good one!"
"You kid, you're embarrassing me again!"
…
Shi Zhijian took Hu Juncai and left Zou Wenhuai's house, saying: "How wonderful."
"Huh? That's good. Mr. Zou is willing to help."
"That's not what I meant."
"Then what are you talking about?"
"I mean the Filipino maid."
"Well, Mr. Shi, your taste is very special. So you like Binmei?" Hu Juncai stuck out his tongue.
"Zhong Yi, you are a ghost! I found out that ever since I took you to enjoy the fun, you have learned bad things! Where did the scholar's ideological and moral character go? Your mind is full of male thieves and female prostitutes!"
"That's what Mr. Shi is criticizing! I will definitely work hard to correct it! Haha! But Sister Bin is really good. I've heard that she is a first-rate expert in pine bones, horse-killing chickens, and so on!"
Shi Zhijian asked him: "Are you listening to what others say, or are you experiencing it yourself?"
Hu Juncai waved his hands hurriedly: "It's unfair, I really listened to what they said!"
"I mean, the market for Filipino maids is huge!" Shi Zhijian changed the topic, "Nowadays, many people still have the trend of self-combing women, but you see, it won't be long before these Filipino maids will seize the employment market!"
Shi Zhijian is not talking nonsense. Filipino maids emerged in Hong Kong's employment market in the early 1970s. At that time, there was a shortage of self-combing women. At this time, Filipino maids were very popular among Hong Kong people because they were honest, hard-working, and knew English.
Especially some Hong Kong celebrities like to hire dark-skinned girls at this time.
For example, the famous star Xie Yuan is a staunch supporter of Binmei. He once said when he was a guest on the "Xiangjiang Hourly Interview" column: "I treat all the Binmei who work in my house as my relatives. They are so hard-working, even if I
When I come back from a party in the middle of the night and drink too much, they will make me some hangover soup before I go to sleep!"
As a result of the star effect, in the mid-1970s, the number of Filipino maids employed in Hong Kong soared from 30,000 to 130,000, a four-fold increase!
Regarding Shi Zhijian's certain "prophecy", Hu Juncai was hesitant and recalled the situation at Zou Wenhuai's house just now. He felt that this kind of Philippines is really easy to use. The most important thing is that it looks tall and different. Even the maid can speak English.
, then wouldn’t the host’s house be of a higher grade?
Hu Juncai suddenly thought, in this case, why not set up a Filipino maid agency?
Recruit maids in the Philippines, find good families for them in Hong Kong, and get kickbacks from both sides to eat the difference. Wouldn’t that make a lot of money?
Hu Juncai's eyes shone brightly and his breathing became rapid.
He is a lawyer and is very knowledgeable in labor and employment laws. Of course he knows whether this kind of business is easy to do.
"Are you very interested? Want to be an intermediary?" Suddenly, Shi Zhijian interrupted him.
Hu Juncai said "uh" and suddenly looked at Shi Zhijian with a look of surprise on his face: "How do you know?"
Shi Zhijian smiled, "Your thoughts are all written on your face! You smile so wretchedly and treacherously!"
"Ahem, I..."
"I'm not criticizing you! Just do it if you think about it! Although this business is a bit small, it is still very profitable. You can use your savings to give it a try!"
"You are quite old. You cannot be a lawyer for the rest of your life. How can you go to court to argue for others when you are old? It is best to have a career to support you!"
"Mr. Shi, I..."
"No need to say anything! I support you in opening a labor agency! Of course, I support you purely spiritually!"
Shi Zhijian was very ambitious. Although he knew that "labor agencies" were very profitable, he didn't take it seriously yet. Hu Juncai had been following him for so long. Even if he had no credit, he still had hard work. This time it was up to him whether he could seize the opportunity.
Sometimes, opportunities are given to you, but if you don’t have the guts to take advantage of them, it’s all in vain!
Hu Juncai had already decided at this time, I want to make money, I want to make a lot of money!
After gnashing his teeth, Hu Juncai finally remembered the business and asked Shi Zhijian: "Mr. Shi, where are we going now?"
Shi Zhijian walked straight towards his car and said: "Far East Bank!"
