Dong Qiangqiang's Story of Leaving Germany

Chapter 30
Dong Qiangqiang said and sat down: "I'm new here and I'm not very familiar with the university. I have a few small questions. Can I take a few minutes of your time?"

The girl glanced at the screen and said softly, "Go outside and talk."

The two came out of the computer room and introduced themselves to each other. Dong Qiangqiang knew that the girl's name was Ding Yan, and she was studying mathematics at Hannover University.

"Have you heard about the APS certificate?" After a brief exchange, Dong Qiangqiang went straight to the topic.

Ding Yan thought about it and shook her head.

Dong Qiangqiang was a little disappointed, so he had to change the question: "Then if you want to work here, is there any place like a student employment agency?"

Ding Yan thought for a while and said softly, "You can go to the city center to see. There are several intermediaries there. The largest one seems to be called Arbeit Zeit. I heard that many students find jobs there."

Dong Qiangqiang was a little curious and blurted out, "Have you ever looked for a job there?"

A flash of pride suddenly flashed in Ding Yan's eyes: "I have a scholarship."

Dong Qiangqiang was stunned for a moment, and then he said enviously, "You are amazing! I admire it!"

Ding Yan smiled and shook her head: "Is there anything else?"

"Oh, and a little question: if I want to surf the Internet here, where should I go to apply for an account and password?"

"The string of numbers after the letters on your student ID card is your account number, and the last four digits of the numbers are your password. Also bound is your print account. Didn't you read the student handbook?"

"Oh, I haven't had time to look." Dong Qiangqiang scratched his head embarrassedly.

Ding Yan nodded and slowly walked back to the computer room.

Dong Qiangqiang returned to the storage room, pulled out Jin Yuan's student ID card, got it in the computer room and tried to log in using the method Ding Yan said, but he could actually access the Internet. It seems that Jin Yuan has not changed his password before.

He uses a search engine to find APS-related content online.But to his surprise, the official website of APS has not been launched, so he did not find any contact numbers.

He continued to search without giving up, and finally found an important message on a study abroad forum: the person who posted the post should also be a German student, and he is currently in Germany, and the German university he applied for also needs to submit an APS certificate.However, since APS has not yet been established, he finally contacted the German embassy in China, and also contacted the German Academic Exchange Center DAAD in BJ, and then sent his notarized materials to these two places at the same time, and he is still waiting for the audit results. .The poster also said that the information he found was that APS would be established in July and officially receive the application materials, but the specific date was not found.

Dong Qiangqiang copied the online method into a notebook, and summed up: it seems that it is not only himself, this certificate has made all applicants very embarrassed.Moreover, APS has not yet been established, even if it is useless to return to China, it is better to follow the example of this classmate and mail two university application materials to return to China.If it was established in July as he said, I would mail a copy of the materials to APS in advance. This would be equivalent to double insurance, and it would be more secure.I just don’t know how long it will take to review the materials and whether I can take the preparatory exam in time.

He was uneasy, sitting alone in front of the computer and tangled. In the end, he felt upset, so he simply left the library and went to the city center to find a part-time job agency.

Hannover city center is located right in front of Hannover railway station. Generally speaking, the city center of every city will be very prosperous, and Hannover is no exception.

Dong Qiangqiang first wandered around the clothing store and ice cream shop in the city center, and then saw a green sign on a white background in the distance, with two large letters: A&Z.

Pushing open the dark blue glass door, the first thing that catches his eye is a large wooden table full of small cards of various colors, but there is no one at the front desk. Dong Qiangqiang turns his head and sees the wall next to him. After reading a whole wall of job information, he was overjoyed, and he copied the job that he felt was suitable while reading it.

Just as he was writing, a magnetic baritone sounded behind him: "Hello. Are you looking for a job?"

Dong Qiangqiang turned his head quickly, and saw a bald bearded man in a white shirt and blue tie standing behind him. The bearded man looked at him with a kind smile.

"Yes, I'm looking for a job."

"Please register first, and then I will introduce you." The bearded man led Dong Qiangqiang to the wooden table and handed him a few forms.

After a while, Dong Qiangqiang handed back the completed form to Beard, who smiled and took a look at the materials, then raised his head and said, "Your ID."

Dong Qiangqiang hurriedly handed over his passport, and at the same time did not forget to explain: "I am a college student."

The bearded look became serious, as if he was hesitating. He looked at his passport and asked, "Did you bring your student ID?"

"Student ID?" Dong Qiangqiang whispered 'no good', "That...I will have it right away."

Beard returned the passport to Dong Qiangqiang: "This is a three-month short-distance tourist visa. According to regulations, you cannot work here."

"Then I..."

Before Dong Qiangqiang finished speaking, the bearded man stopped him: "After you register, you can only work part-time if you change to a student visa. Otherwise, our employers here will not consider it." He emphasized again, "This is It's the law."

Dong Qiangqiang understood what he meant. He narrowed his eyes and stared at the beard for a while. He didn't say anything. He pushed open the door and walked out of the labor agency.

He stood dejectedly beside an advertising post a dozen meters away from the front door of the agency, smoking a cigarette while watching various small advertisements on it.Some work information can be vaguely seen, but the key information is covered by the newly posted advertisement. Dong Qiangqiang can't help tearing it up. At this moment, a figure suddenly flashes in the corner of the eye, and then there is a low lame sound. German: "Looking for a job?"

Dong Qiangqiang looked down and saw a black, thin and short Eastern European man looking up at him eagerly.

He had the heart to refuse, but there was a mosquito-like voice in his heart that said to himself: It's not a loss to ask.

"What's the job?" He continued to look at the mutilated advertisement on the advertising column.

"I'm a good worker here." The Eastern European man grinned, showing his white teeth, and pointed to a bench next to him, motioning to look there.

Dong Qiangqiang nodded, and the Eastern European man happily walked over first.

When Dong Qiangqiang approached, he glanced at no one around, carefully opened the zipper of his shirt, and took out a large stack of blue cards from it.Dong Qiangqiang took the card and saw that it was full of job recruitment information.

The more Dong Qiangqiang looked at it, the more strange it became: "Are you all a German company?"

"Of course it's a German company, so it's all good work." The Eastern European man said triumphantly.

"But... I don't have a student visa." Dong Qiangqiang hesitated for a while, but he said it honestly.

The Eastern European man approached his ear, fearing that he could not hear clearly, he said word by word, "No problem."

Dong Qiangqiang looked at his mysterious smile and couldn't help lowering his head and hesitated.
