500,000 RMB!
The sand sculpture netizens who originally sympathized with Zhou Jing and Abby, and loudly denounced the cannibalistic capitalist society first fell silent for a moment, and then lost their composure.
What is the concept of 500,000 RMB
In 2018, the annual per capita income of the capital was 62,361 yuan, and this is the political center and economic center of China. The per capita annual income is only a little over 60,000 yuan, while the poor provinces in the west have an annual per capita income of less than 30,000 yuan. .
How many Chinese people are doing more difficult and dangerous jobs than this, but their income is not even half of 500,000 yuan
Even in San Francisco, where housing prices are extremely high and rich people gather, a household with an annual income of US$70,000 is well into the ranks of the middle class, okay
Zhou Jing's annual income, even with a conservative estimate, can beat 99.9% of the netizens in the live broadcast room. In fact, 99.99% of the keyboard warriors who boast that they don't pay taxes are excluded.
Everyone suddenly discovered that the person who needs more sympathy is themselves...
"Fuck! Are you recruiting merman fish?"
"Don't look at me as a man, I am very good at women's clothing, and I am more beautiful than many girls!"
"Although I don't want to have a sex change, I can still accept breast augmentation. Anyway, I can't see it when I put my legs in a mermaid suit... Wouldn't it be nice to earn a few years and then shrink your breasts back? "
"As long as I want to recruit men, I will sign up. No kidding, I just want to lose weight!"
"That's right, a job that only recruits girls, isn't it really sexist?"
All kinds of unscrupulous barrage burst out instantly.
Zhang Zian guessed it somewhat, Zhou Jing and Abby are not fools, if not for the generous rewards, who would grit their teeth and insist on such an anti-human job
How much is an annual income of 500,000 RMB? There are indeed many, but you have to take into account that this industry eats youth food. It’s okay for a girl in her 20s like Zhou Jing, and Abby is already in her 30s. How many more years can she work? How many years can the body last? I can’t do it until I’m 40 years old at the most, my body doesn’t allow it, and the aquarium doesn’t allow it. I’m old, who wants to watch the mermaid aunt? What if there is danger in the water
As a single mother, Abby can't lose this job, at least not now. She has to save money desperately to save enough for living expenses and children's college tuition before the age of 40. Although it sounds like a luxury, she can only do it. Work towards this goal.
Zhou Jing, since she chose this job, of course she also has her reasons and difficulties. She agrees with Abby that neither of them can lose this job, even if they are taking painkillers, they must grit their teeth and stick to it.
Up to now, Xiaoxue doesn't know how to persuade her. She has never experienced this kind of process of trying her best to survive, but talking about some beautiful scenes will only make people feel "why not eat minced meat"
Abby couldn't understand what the three Chinese were muttering, and was tired of cursing, so she simply sat down at the dressing table and put on makeup.
Before going into the water, you need to make up, and you need to wear heavy makeup, emphasizing eyeliner and lips, otherwise the facial features will be blurred through water and glass.
Xiaoxue looked at the two sets of mermaid suits, and remembered Zhou Jing's claim to the staff just now that she and Zhang Zian were here for an interview. She had a guess in her heart that the aquarium had already started looking for Abby's replacement
There are only two sets of mermaid suits and they are very expensive. In addition, Abby is getting older, and the aquarium may feel that it is time to change.
But this job is too hard and too damaging to women's bodies. Unless you are a money-crazy person, it is not easy to find a backup candidate.
Zhou Jing smiled, "Are you sympathizing with me?"
"No, I didn't..." Xiaoxue clarified with a guilty conscience, but she was indeed sympathetic.
Zhou Jing shook her head, "I'm glad I found this job. Although it's hard and tiring, at least I can earn more money. As long as I can finish my university studies, I will quit my job because... I still want to get married and have children. The person who really needs sympathy is not me, the girls who play mermaids in China, they do almost the same hard work, the only thing better than me is that they don't have to endure such low water temperature, but correspondingly, the monthly salary is only five or six thousand yuan Money, or even less, they deserve more sympathy."
Xiaoxue was silent, and could only sigh at this moment.
There are so many suffering people in this world, how can we help them
Many domestic aquariums also have mermaid performances. When the audience sees the girls playing the mermaids swimming briskly in the water, they may think that this is a job that can easily make money while lying down, but in fact, it is a job. Work that is hard, tiring, and physically damaging may not be rewarded accordingly.
But even for such a job, there are still many girls from the countryside rushing to do it. After all, this job does not require academic qualifications or work experience.
In comparison, Zhou Jing was considered very lucky.
The audience in the live broadcast room had mixed feelings.
Take a long breath to cover up your tears, mourning the hardships of people's lives.
"I've seen a mermaid show, but I didn't expect it to be so hard to be a mermaid..."
"Most service industries in the United States can get tips. It's really unfair to ask for a tip when you order a takeaway, but you don't get it when you exchange your health for money."
"All the girls playing mermaids should be asked to draw a QR code on the back. The next time you watch it, old buddies, please scan the code and press zero with your eyes closed."
"That's right, I've only seen one mermaid who really makes money lying down, and that's Shihua with big breasts and no brains..."
"Haha! After all, he has a good face, which is incomparable."
It's obviously a joke, but everyone's heart is heavy.
I can endure the pain of extreme dieting, and it is more profitable to be a model, but not everyone can be a model, it depends on the appearance, opportunity and luck. People with average looks can only earn more even if they work harder. less money.
It's not fair, but there is no complete fairness in this world, otherwise why would some people prefer to live in a dream
Zhou Jing also sat in front of the dressing table and began to put on makeup.
Seeing this, Abby knew that Zhou Jing had decided to go into the water, and a smile finally appeared on her face.
Zhou Jing has never told anyone about these things, even her parents and classmates in China, she has always kept her mouth shut, and every time she is asked, she always smiles and answers: "It's okay, it's not too hard... I lost weight ? I'm losing weight! I know, I'll eat well!"
Every industry is like a mountain, as long as she doesn't say it, no one can imagine that this industry is so hard.
She has been holding back the depression in her heart, almost to the point of exploding. After she opened up the chatterbox this time, she couldn't hold it back any longer. Talk about it.
