As he drank, Su Nan began to pour out his grievances.
He had followed his mentor's recommendation to work at a local museum in Philadelphia. In the end, he had only been there for two months, and before his internship was over, the museum closed down.
There were many museums in the United States. Some people said that the United States had more planes than any other country in the world. This was more applicable to museums. The number of museums in the United States was several times that of other countries combined!
It was common for museums to close down. Many museums relied on donations from rich people to keep them running. Some only relied on one or two rich people, and the rich people who were willing to donate to the museum were mostly elderly.
Once these people died, the family members who inherited their wealth would not continue to donate to the museum, and the museum would most likely close down.
"Those regular workers are fine, right? They have contracts and seniority. The government and the museum have to give financial compensation. What about me? I'm a rookie, an intern. If the museum closes down, I'll get nothing. Just get lost. "Su Nan drank another mouthful of beer and shook his head.
It was obvious that he had a lot on his mind. This time, he was looking for Li Du to vent.
Li Du said, "Then change jobs. You're a postgraduate in accounting, right? You'll have to take all kinds of tests. This job has a wide range of jobs. "
Su Nan burped and waved his hand. "It's a wide range, but no one wants to use me. I don't know why. My resume is pretty good, and my requirements are low, but these companies are not willing to use Chinese people."
Sophie said, "It's mainly because of the poor economic environment. Many companies have closed down. They are the main employers of accounting talents. Don't be discouraged, and don't doubt your identity and ability. "
Su Nan smiled bitterly. "Yes, it's because of the environment. Sigh, but it's not so bad that I can't find a job even after sending my resume all over the United States, right?"
As he spoke, he shook his head dejectedly. "There's nothing I can do. I'm preparing to go back. It's good in China, but the money comes in slowly."
Su Nan's family was not well off. His parents had both been seriously ill and could not work. His sister had resigned to take care of them.
He had chosen to study at the University of Philadelphia because the school had always reduced fees and implemented financial subsidies for outstanding students from poor families.
Su Nan had a full scholarship to study abroad. He had come here to study and earn money at the same time. He did not spend a single cent from his family. Instead, he could send at least a thousand dollars to his family every month.
This money would not be of much use in the United States, but it could be converted into RMB. This was five or six thousand dollars, enough for his family to use.
Su Nan did not come to Phoenix to look for Li Du because he had no money. He was a very thrifty person.
Li Du patted his hand and comforted him. "Don't worry, there will always be a way out. After all, you are a Sea Turtle. Won't it be easy for you to go back and make money? There are plenty of high-paying jobs. "
Su Nan smiled bitterly. "It's not that simple. Haven't you seen the news? There were too many overseas students in China, and American diplomas were no longer popular. Especially for our accounting major. The system here is different from overseas. You'll have to learn a lot from scratch when you go back, and the salary isn't high. "
"If I find a job here that pays four or five thousand dollars, you know that I don't spend much and can save two or three thousand dollars a month for my sister. That's a lot of money, enough for them to live comfortably."
"But what if we earn RMB? I have to go to cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, right? How much can you earn in a month? A starting salary of 10,000 yuan was not low, right? But other than living on your own, how many thousand yuan do you have left? "
Holding the bottle of wine, Su Nan began to pour out his grievances.
Li Du had not contacted him for a long time and did not know that his situation was so bad. He asked, "Your parents, are they short of money?"
Su Nan took another big gulp of wine. "My dad's dialysis is best done every Wednesday, every two to three days. My mom's liver disease is supported by foreign drugs. D * mn, they don't have medical insurance. Don't you think it's stressful? "
"My dad is frugal, more frugal than me. He thinks that dialysis is too expensive and wants to go once a week. D * mn, once a week? He'll die in half a year! "
Sophie asked with concern, "Then do they need to be transferred to the United States for treatment? My mentor knows some experts in kidney and liver disease. Maybe they can help."
Su Nan shook his head and said, "Money, I have to have that much money. Forget it, let's not talk about this first. Sigh, let's drink, wet people, let's drink. We haven't drunk together in a long time. "
Li Du opened another bottle of wine for him and said in a low voice, "You should have contacted me earlier. I didn't know it was so difficult on your side."
Su Nan smiled bitterly. "Difficult? It's okay, I've suffered a lot. This is all bearable. Besides, you know me. I like to joke and amuse people, yes, but I'm also a person with a sense of shame … "
He sighed again and again, losing his former sharpness.
Li Du said, "I mean, I know some people here who can introduce you to a job."
Su Nan's eyes widened.
Li Du felt that it would not be a problem to put Su Nan in Harry Winston, Inc. Even if he could not get in, he could find Steve and the others, or even the Ford brothers, whom he had just met. It would be too easy to get Su Nan a job.
But he had other ideas. "If you were asked to leave the United States to work in Australia, and you might have to travel a lot, would you be willing?"
Su Nan said, "To Australia? What kind of treatment? As long as the money is in place, I don't mind going to Mars. "
As he spoke, he laughed, and then saw Sophie laughing too. He felt a little embarrassed and touched his head. "Sorry, sister-in-law, I'm a little talkative. Please don't mind."
Sophie smiled and nodded. She just listened gently and didn't interrupt much.
"Travel expenses will be reimbursed, food and accommodation will be subsidized, and a salary of five thousand dollars during the probation period. How about that?" Li Du asked.
"What about after I become a permanent employee?"
"A fifty percent increase on the five thousand dollars."
Su Nan quickly put down the bottle and stared. "Are you kidding me? A job with such a high salary? "
He had applied for a job in the United States with an expected monthly salary of four thousand dollars, which was a more qualified job for a master's degree graduate.
Li Du said, "Don't think too highly of yourself. There are a lot of things to manage. Otherwise, a lot of the accounts are actually quite complicated."
Su Nan said, "No, no, no, that's not a problem. As long as I can do it, it's a good job."
Li Du wanted to pull him into his own camp and make him work for him.
A salary of a few thousand dollars a month was just a drop in the bucket for him. Just the maintenance of the yacht alone would cost several thousand dollars a month.
He knew Su Nan well. After all, he had been a college classmate for four years. He was capable and responsible. If he went to Australia to manage the accounts of Lightning Ridge and Seagull Island, it would be the most suitable.
Su Nan stopped drinking and put down the bottle to ask carefully.
