Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 76 Ogami's Job Problem
"Bodyguards are very well paid in this industry because of certain risk issues."

Chen Yan looked at Ogami's confused eyes and said seriously:
"You probably have no concept of wages in the Empire."

Ogami nodded blankly.

Chen Yan explained: "Let's put it this way."

"In the dyeing factories in the lower city, casual labor in the dust workshop, the wages are only 2-3 pence a day."

"And a decent breakfast of brown bread with a slightly cleaner mush would cost a penny."

"That is to say, even if they only eat two meals a day, casual workers in the factory can barely afford to eat."

Ogami was shocked by this data, he whispered slowly:
"Is it so low..."

Chen Yan nodded and continued:
"Ordinary workers in factories, I mean [unskilled workers], work a limited amount of work a day and earn 4-6p."

"If you don't rent, don't smoke, don't enjoy entertainment, and eat two meals a day, you can save money."

Ohgami continued to listen.

"And a skilled worker — I mean, a skilled worker who has been in the factory long enough to make enough wealth for the bosses — can earn eightp a day, or more."

"But their work intensity is very high, and they have to work in the factory for more than 15 hours a day."

"Their bodies can't support such a heavy workload, and they often fail to work for a few years before their bodies collapse."

Ohgami frowned: "In this way, the daily salary of 8 pence is indeed very low..."

Chen Ya nodded: "Yes, the daily salary of 8 pence is not enough to support the daily expenses of you and Nuomi Guo."

"Not to mention, in the future, Nuomi Guo will need to spend money to go to school, right?"

"You are a grown man, you have such a big appetite, you have to spend money to buy food, right?"

"When glutinous rice fruit is still growing, eating some nutritious food, such as fish and shrimp, will cost money?"

You have to pay for renting my apartment!

While Chen Yan was talking, cold sweat came down Ogami's forehead.

"It's...so stressful..."

The more Chen Yan talked, the more righteous indignation he felt.

"It's just about money, and insurance!

What if you really became a bodyguard and got hurt?Get healed!

The medical resources of the empire are surprisingly expensive!
If you don't have insurance, you don't dare to treat your illness, so you can only bear it by yourself! "

Ogami's face was stiff, and the huge pressure made his dark circles deeper.

Chen Yan covered his stomach with one hand, clenched the other hand into a fist, and slammed it on the dining table.

"Those job advertisements with low daily salaries are purely for fooling fools!"

Ohgami felt a little desperate: "But I saw several job advertisements, and the daily salary basically didn't exceed 8 pence."

Like a shrewd businessman, Chen Yan gestured to Ogami with his fingers:

"You have to bargain with them."

Ohgami looked humbly receptive.

"It doesn't make sense to deal with the imperial people. You have to show your skills—if you want to be a bodyguard, you have to let your employer know that you are strong enough!"

Ogami nodded, thoughtful in his eyes.

"It's not a problem for you to show your strength."

Just kidding, killing two ruthless police officers with guns with a cold weapon, the force value must be off the charts.

"After deterring them with force, it's time to negotiate terms."

"30pence."

Chen Yan stretched out three fingers.

"Believe me, with your skills, it's not a problem at all to get a daily salary of 30 pence or even higher!"

Ohgami's eyes lit up: "What can you do with 30 pence?"

Chen Yan pointed to the cutting board: "I can eat cod every day."

Ogami shrank his head: "Let's forget about this..."

When he said this, the eyes of the glutinous rice fruit sitting beside him immediately became strange.

Ohgami hurriedly explained: "I mean, we can eat other things. The landlord said that there are many different foods in the empire..."

His clumsy explanation didn't make Glutinous Rice Fruit feel any better.

Chen Yan hurriedly gave him the steps and changed the subject.

"If you can earn 30p a day, the problem of eating can be completely solved."

Hmm... not only the food problem can be solved, but also the rent problem can be solved together.

"Although the daily salary of 30 pence is not enough to support the education of glutinous rice fruit, I believe that you can find more ways to make money."

"In addition to salary, it is insurance."

"There is only one insurance company in Yanan City. It is said that it was established by a member of the Conservative Party. It is called [Yanan City Public Insurance Company]."

"Although the insurance premium of this insurance company is relatively expensive, its reputation is guaranteed because of the endorsement of the Conservative Party."

"According to the law of Yanan City, as long as there is a formally effective contract, the employer must pay insurance to the employee."

"This is one of the very few laws in the entire empire that are beneficial to workers."

Ogami rubbed his chin: "When I went out these two days, I saw a lot of workers in the lower city.

There are so many of them, if everyone has to pay insurance, wouldn't the factory owner have to spend a lot of money? "

Chen Yan nodded and said: "Yes, so no employer will take the initiative to implement this law."

Ohgami was stunned: "Isn't the law of the empire mandatory? Why..."

Chen Yan shook her head: "I am also very confused about this."

"We're on our own."

"You have to get an insurance policy for yourself, of course, that again depends on your ability."

Ohgami nodded: "Understood, the empire is just a cloak of a civilized society, but in fact it is still the law of the jungle where the weak prey on the strong."

Chen Yan joked: "You know a lot!"

Ohgami sighed meaningfully: "It took us many years to come to the Empire. On the way, I learned a lot. Those books from different civilizations made me knowledgeable enough."

Chen Yan patted Ogami on the shoulder.

"In short, life will gradually get better."

Ohgami nodded.

Chen Yan stood up and picked up the projector that had just been placed on the table.

"Then, I'll go back and rest first!"

Ogami and Glutinous Rice Fruit said good night to him.

Chen Yan first went to the bathroom on the second floor, and then returned to the bedroom on the third floor.

Close the door, take out the projector, and turn it on.

The screen of the projector is only slightly larger than the screen of the mobile phone. The data displayed in the upper left corner seems to be the focal length, and the upper right corner is the battery level-the battery shows 95%.

It appears that Johnny McGowan charged the projector before depositing it.

Chen Yan thought to himself, although this thing is a good thing, but he can't use it many times, because the price of electricity is too expensive.

It costs about 20p to go to the city center and charge it once.

This is a huge sum of money.

Thinking of this, an idea appeared in Chen Yan's head:
If I use the projector for business and get the tax bill for the charging fee, can I go to Byron Weiss Group to reimburse the money?

Chen Yan played with the projector, and found that there was an option called [Video] on this projector.

This... this appears to be more than just a projector.

Or a video camera...

Spirit Vision Camera!
