Many people will encounter some problems when applying for certain jobs. The employer will ask a question that may involve discrimination - city people or country people.
People have always complained about these problems and they have caused heated discussions in society many times. The law has also formulated some relevant measures to target this kind of discriminatory behavior. However, many companies will still raise such issues when recruiting people. question.
Is this a form of discrimination
Is the unwillingness to recruit workers from the countryside just because the worker is from the countryside
In fact, this is not the case. For capitalists, there is no direct relationship between where workers come from and the labor force that squeezes them. Even if these workers come from outer space, as long as they are placed in the working class, they cannot prevent the subjective needs of capitalists from being squeezed. .
What really makes city and countryside become opposite words comes from the conscious behavior of city people and the conscious behavior of country people.
Some people will also say that they cannot see the difference between the two, but the difference is not only there, but also very big.
In this era of great changes in society, every day in the city is a new change. New technological products are born, new laws and regulations are established, and the emergence of more new things constantly washes away people's understanding of the world.
However, in rural areas, the slow pace and further distance from the urban center mean that changes in the countryside often occur on a quarterly or yearly basis. Their understanding of new things is less and slower than those in the city. This also means that When there are emergencies, it is difficult for them to react immediately and handle them correctly.
The situation that the little secretary encountered at this time was actually somewhat similar to the situation that Alyssa encountered back then. It also related to her immediate interests and safety, and she also faced a choice of fate at a certain moment.
Both of them have similar backgrounds - Alyssa's father is a government official and the director of the Transportation Bureau, and the little secretary personally works in the core unit of politics.
They all come from middle-class families. Never doubt the price of an apartment in the imperial capital. This is not what a girl in her twenties who has been working for less than ten years can afford. Just like a villa in Oak Bay has risen to 300. It costs more than 800,000 yuan. In other cities, a villa of the same size may only cost 30,000 to 500,000 yuan.
So their choices were almost the same. The little secretary subconsciously grabbed the phone and dialed Du Lin's residence in the imperial capital.
She remembers these numbers. As the secretary on duty in the office outside the new party leader's door, she must firmly remember the name, personality, characteristics, and their recent schedule and other information of each new high-level person, including their phone numbers.
The phone was answered after three rings. Du Lin personally answered the call, "Help me, I live in..."
She didn't know if Du Lin would save her, and she didn't even know if the people outside were from Du Lin, but at this moment, the alarm call was useless, and the apartment doorman didn't seem to be interested in meddling in other people's business. It was even more impossible to interfere in such a thing. There was only one person she could ask for help and who was capable enough to save her, and that was Du Lin.
Du Lin never disappoints people. He told the girl for a while, asking her to protect herself, hide herself, and then count to a hundred.
The little secretary did as Mulin asked. She quickly ran into the bedroom and pushed everything that could be moved behind the door.
The girl who has never shown any special talent in strength is like a divine help at this moment. Even a heavy bed or wardrobe can be pushed by her easily.
During this process, the police outside the door began to violently break the door after giving a warning. According to the police, the caller did not show up. In order to avoid accidents, they had the right to forcefully enter the room to check whether the life safety of the caller was threatened. Do you need help
The little secretary was about to cry. While wiping her tears, she held her head in her hands, buried her head between her knees, and started counting down according to the purpose.
one hundred…
Ninety-nine…
Ninety-eight…
The banging on the door outside suddenly stopped with a loud bang that made the wall tremble several times. The sound of leather shoes getting closer and closer was obviously more than two people, there were three people outside!
The single apartment will not be too big, with one bedroom, a simple living room for cooking and a washing area, and the rest is only the bedroom.
There was a knock on the bedroom door, and the policeman's voice came from outside the door, "Madam, please open the door, we are the police, you can trust us..."
The little secretary covered her ears and continued to count down in panic, as if these ever-changing numbers had a magical power, giving her a great power that she could not believe, like... As long as she counted the last number, everything would be terrible. Everything will end.
The police outside the door began to slam into the bedroom door again. The banging on the door and the intensified vibration behind it became more intense, which made the little secretary shed tears that she had just wiped away.
She could even see the door open a crack, and a somewhat embarrassed policeman outside the door was breathing heavily, staring at him with cold eyes through the door gap less than an inch wide, and then he kept hitting the wooden door with his shoulder.
The furniture behind the door plays a big role. The small space allows these furniture to be used very rationally. They block the door tightly, but this does not mean that the door cannot be opened.
The policeman paused for a moment, and then started to smash the door panel with a baton. The already somewhat twisted door panel soon made a different twisting sound than before, and with a dull cracking sound, the door panel was smashed through.
The policeman outside the door no longer persuaded the little secretary to open the door. Instead, while staring at her, he pushed or lifted the furniture blocking the door to make more space for the door to open.
The girl burst into tears at this time. She couldn't even count down. Her lips trembled and she lost control. In addition to fear of pain and death, her brain could no longer accommodate anything more.
Seeing that the intensification behind the door was cleared, the policeman sucked his stomach and began to squeeze in. The girl seemed to remember something at this time, and she looked around for something that could be used to prevent the police from entering.
Table lamp, clothes hanger, but the effect is not very good.
The policeman finally squeezed in. He grabbed the little secretary's hair and tore it hard, with a ferocious and twisted expression on his face as if he was enjoying the fear on the girl's face. "You should have opened the door, madam!"
His other hand suddenly touched the little secretary's waist and slowly groped upwards. The girl's whole body was trembling because of fear and something else.
Her lips moved slightly. The policeman was a little curious and asked with a grin, "What are you talking about?"
"Nine… "
"eight… "
"Seven, please, hurry up!"
"six… "
"Counting?", the policeman laughed, and continued to raise his other hand, "Counting is a good way. We have plenty of time to play this game tonight..."
When he finished saying this, the girl counted the last number.
Just when he was about to say something more, several intensive gunshots suddenly sounded in his ears. When he turned back and looked out the door, a gun was already pointed at his head.
Puff puff!
The back of the little secretary's head was suddenly opened by something, and a stream of heat and some sticky stuff sprayed on her face. Her whole body shook violently, and she stood there stupidly, like It's... lost all consciousness.
The policeman's body lost its strength and soon collapsed to the ground. His collapse also pushed the little secretary to the ground. It seemed that the pain in her butt made her come back to her senses. The man outside the door also squeezed in. Come in.
He cleared the furniture behind the door, grabbed the girl's arm, dragged her up from the ground, and pulled her out.
"The boss asked me to arrive within a hundred seconds. I hope I'm not late." The stern-faced man pulled the girl and ran down the aisle. The girl was dragged and ran like a marionette without any initiative. .
This sentence seemed to have some magical power. After saying it, the girl's eyes suddenly became focused. She began to run subjectively, accelerated, and asked, "One hundred seconds..."
The man replied without looking back, "One hundred seconds..."
The two quickly went downstairs and got in the car and left. On the way, they missed several police cars with their lights flashing. The girl turned around and looked out of the rear window. They turned at the second intersection, which was where she lived. place.
Compared to the helplessness she felt just now, she felt much better now and a little tired.
Fifteen minutes later, she arrived at a villa. She saw Dulin in the lobby, which made her suddenly and inexplicably relax.
Just as she was about to express her gratitude, Du Lin covered his nose slightly and moved out of the way. He waved and called a girl, "Take her to wash her off. She is smelling of sweat and...", He didn't say it, but everyone knew what it smelled like.
At this moment, the little secretary wanted to cut off her face and throw it away. It was so shameful. She pressed her jaw tightly to her chest and went to the bathroom with another girl.
After washing herself carefully and putting on brand new clothes, she appeared in front of Du Lin again. There was no strange smell on her body anymore, only a clear floral fragrance.
"Thanks!"
This was the first thing the little secretary said after she stabilized her mood tonight, and it was also a way of thanking Du Lin for saving her.
Dulin smiled and responded, just looking at the girl.
He was holding a wine glass in his hand, holding the rim of the glass with his thumb and forefinger, and holding the bottom of the glass with his little finger. The wine glass was constantly rotating in his palm. He seemed a little embarrassed when he saw it, and the girl looked elsewhere. .
The luxurious decoration and furnishings are not much different from other villas in the central city of the Imperial City. Some of the antiques and works of art displayed here can be sold for thousands or even more.
For people like Du Lin, wealth has long lost the meaning it should have, and even the concept of wealth has become blurred.
"What happened tonight will not only happen once!" Two or three minutes later, Du Lin said these words, which attracted the girl's attention and made her heart beat violently twice.
Seeing that Du Lin seemed to have no intention of explaining more, the girl, who had lost most of her thinking ability, couldn't help but ask, "Why?"
At other times, she might have guessed it, but she had just been frightened. At this time, her mood was difficult to calm down, her mind was very confused, and she didn't have enough attention to think.
Du Lin shrugged his shoulders and crossed his legs. He took a sip of wine and placed the cup on the coaster on the coffee table. "Because as long as I catch you, my enemies will be able to use a weapon against me." "
The simple explanation made the girl wake up immediately. What Du Lin said was not wrong at all. If she was threatened and hurt enough, she would not be able to guarantee that she could tell the truth, and Du Lin had not threatened her before. , she lied.
In order to be less painful, less painful, and not suffer more injuries or even death, she would definitely compromise, and then she would tell a lot of unfavorable testimony against Dulin.
This made her tremble. She had already thought of the more serious consequences. She glanced at Du Lin secretly. She felt that if she was really coerced into giving false testimony to accuse Du Lin (?), Du Lin would definitely not let her go. .
The more she thought about it, the more confused her mind became. She couldn't find a suitable solution for a while, so she could only look at Du Lin helplessly, "What should I do?"
Dulin stood up with a smile, walked to the bar and got a new wine glass, and brought a bottle of wine over. He poured some wine for the girl, "It's very simple, let those who want to frame me have no time and Do this with all your energy, and after this period, you will be safe.”
He pushed the poured wine in front of the girl. The girl held it in both hands and hesitated for a moment. Then she took a big sip and her face suddenly turned red.
Du Lin stretched out his index finger and gently slid it on the girl's face. The girl did not dare to avoid it, her face turned red as if blood could spurt out from a small opening.
"I like your freckles, they make people feel very close...", he smiled, "So in order for us not to be disturbed by those people, we need to let people know the truth of some things...", he picked up the wine glass, He clinked the wine glass in the girl's hand and said, "Let people know the truth about Mr. Powers falling down the stairs!"
The girl suddenly looked at Du Lin with wide eyes. She didn't believe that Du Lin would tell the truth, but if he didn't tell the truth, then the so-called truth might...
The girl trembled again, and therefore deeply realized the horror at the core of the political whirlpool, oppression, murder, and even frame-up. These ugliest things are like air here, surrounding people, and people have already Take it for granted.
Du Lin looked at the girl nodding her head, very satisfied. He raised his finger and pointed at the girl. Someone brought paper and pen to the side. He looked at the girl and said, "I said, you remember it, and then memorize it!"
