Although Huang Mude lipped to support Chen Yiyan to go out to work and had a little improvement in her opinion, he actually felt that she had no education and was not very good at English. An oriental man was looking for a job in Shaffer. He probably could only do some low-level jobs such as serving dishes and washing dishes in a dirty restaurant. Then, a lady from an old-fashioned family like Chen Yiyan would not be able to stand such a job and declare her failure.
However, Chen Yiyan actually thought about this for a long time. During the confinement period, she compared her strengths and weaknesses, and finally roughly drew direction for herself.
Early the next morning, Chen Yiyu wore a neat trousers. Chen Yiyu's previous clothes had no pants. These pants were smaller than those that Lu Yunhe had not worn. She did not deliberately cut out lines or something. She was a lonely woman looking for a job outside, blurring her feminine characteristics as much as possible, so the pants looked a little fat, but they were still within a decent range.
The coat was also modified with Lu Yunhe's tweed coat. The fabric of this coat is a bit thick, and Chen Yi-chan was a little troubled when he was transforming it because it was during the confinement period and she didn't try too hard. She did a lot of geniuses to modify her shoulders and sleeves.
Lu Yunhe was about 1.75 meters tall, and his coat was almost as close to his knees on Chen Yiyu. He hid her whole body under the coat. From the back, he basically blocked her female curves. If she cut her hair neatly, she would look like a thin oriental boy from the back.
She wore a handmade knitted sweater she learned to make after coming to Shaffer. Knitted sweaters were not popular in China at that time. Chen Yiyan learned from Mrs. Liu, who was studying abroad next door. Although she knitted it very ordinary, she wore it on her body without caring about it. She covered the dark gray tweed coat with Lu Yunhe and surrounded it with a thick camel scarf.
She stood in front of the mirror, her coat was a bit big, her sweater was not stitched, and her pants were a bit fat. The combination of these dresses was actually a bit inconsistent, but they were more pleasing to her than her wearing her Chinese-style jackets and skirts and cheongsams.
She was so excited that she drove out the early car. In fact, she wanted to write some of her resume on paper, and later she found that she was 21 years old and had no experience. She didn't have the golden resumes of her previous life. She is now a pure housewife and had to go out empty-handed.
The bus swayed for more than an hour, and finally arrived in Shaffer City at around 9 o'clock. She got off the bus and walked a long way before she reached her destination.
Although she had lived with Lu Yunhe in Shaffer City for a long time in her previous life, she had not really visited the city. She only planned to eat, wear and clean housework every day in the countryside corners. Later, when she was in her fifties, she returned to her hometown and traveled to Shaffer City, and then she had a good trip.
Time flies back thirty years and returns here. Although there are not the novel buildings and shops that came from the previous life, some iconic old buildings are still there. This may be the beauty of Schaffer, the old and new blends just right. Turning across the famous Bright Brothers Bank on the corner, Chen Yi-chan found the place she was coming: Schaffer Financial City.
The Schafer Financial City is one of the dozen Schafer districts, and it is even the smallest among these administrative districts. It is only one square kilometer, but this square kilometer of land is worth every inch. There are head offices and branches of major financial institutions in the world, including international banks, securities companies, insurance companies, etc. There are many financial institutions, forming the basic composition of this square kilometer.
Before World War I, this was the most prosperous financial and trade center in the world. Later, due to the influence of World War I, many banks went bankrupt and closed, which directly led to its most important international securities issuance business transfer to Wall Street in New York. Since then, Schaffer Financial City has no longer had the grand occasion of the past. Moreover, the low tide after World War I made it sluggish, from the world's largest trading volume financial center to one of the four largest financial centers in the world. Although it is still famous, it is not as good as before.
Chen Yi-chan walked on the streets of the Financial City. Although banks, securities companies and other financial institutions were lined with them, the buildings of these companies were not cold high-rise buildings, but old-fashioned buildings full of rich historical flavor. There are many Baroque and Gothic buildings, the most famous one is the Schaffer Stock Exchange on the corner of the street just now.
The Shaffer Stock Exchange is a typical white Gothic building. It is said that this building was built in the 16th century and has been a historical building for hundreds of years. The complex patterns outside the building cost the bank a lot of maintenance costs every year. However, when standing in the hall of the exchange, when the sun shines in from the round windows on the vault, it makes people feel as if they are standing under the glory of the Holy Spirit, and they can't help but want to worship here.
Therefore, the buildings of the Schaffer Stock Exchange are not only the symbol of the Schaffer Financial City, but the exchange itself is also a giant in the Financial City.
Walking on the streets of the Financial City, not only are there financial institutions that look deterrent, but also many small stalls selling food. You can smell these tempting smells everywhere on the road. These tempting food and Gothic buildings weaken the distance the Financial City gives, making people sigh at the beauty of the Financial City.
Chen Yi-chan walked on the side of the road and was attracted by a stall of fried fish and chips in a long queue. She had not had breakfast in the morning, so she lined up for a while to buy a meal. Fried fish and chips are a long-lasting food in Schaeffer City. The Schaffer people especially liked it. At their dining table, they had to eat about two or three meals a week. The poorer the family, the more they ate, because these two foods were very cheap in Schaeffer.
Chen Yi-chan bought a newspaper at the newsstand on the corner with fish pieces and chips, found a coffee shop on the street, ordered a cup of hot coffee, and ate while reading the newspaper while looking for a job in the breeze of spring in April.
As a result, after reading the newspaper, Chen Yiyu began to feel a headache because she mistakenly calculated the economic situation and thought it was the prosperity after World War I. As a result, she found that there was very little information on recruitment in the newspaper, and there were many reports of unemployment. Several branches of Shaffer Financial City closed down and returned to their headquarters. After dinner, she walked deep into the financial city and found that there were indeed many buildings and shops with doors closed, and the people coming and going on the streets were not as many as she saw when she came in her previous life.
People were walking in a hurry, holding briefcases, and their faces looked worried. Chen Yiyan looked at the recruitment information of the Financial City in the newspaper. Now he seemed to only recruit two types of people. One was the top elite, such as CEO or manager-level talents. Although it is rare to recruit workers from outside, it requires a lot of requirements, including education, working hours, and even companies that have worked in, and even financial cases that have taken over. In the end, the exchange of such top talents was actually based on headhunting companies.
The second type of job recruitment is the lowest-level jobs in the financial city institutions, or even non-staff personnel, such as cleaning and security.
In this economic depression period, there are only a large number of layoffs, and everyone can’t take care of themselves. Few people are recruiting ordinary salesmen, and even give ordinary people the opportunity to learn knowledge from the bottom to climb up. Most of them are basically changing jobs. Ordinary employees working in the Financial City basically don’t want to jump to work outside the Financial City, because the salary of the Financial City is the highest in the country. Statistics show that the salary of the Financial City is 30% higher than that of other jobs in the Financial City.
Whether now or decades later, a decent job in the Financial City is a job worthy of pride. Although the Financial City gradually lowered its salary due to the economic depression, it was still a little higher than elsewhere.
But now people working in the Financial City never imagined that after a short economic prosperity, a long ice period, people in the Financial City were still missing the position of the world financial boss of the Financial City before World War I, thinking that they would restore their former status after the war. In fact, the transferred businesses could never come back.
In his previous life, Chen Yiqi knew about the short period of prosperity of Financial City, and even knew that it had only lasted for two years. However, he did not expect that the so-called prosperity did not actually last for two years, but only for more than one year. By the second year, the previous residual heat was continued. When the residual heat passed, there was only coldness left, and the coldness would last for twenty or thirty years.
Chen Yiyi took the newspaper and went to the first job he liked. A small bank was recruiting account managers. During this period, either the banking business owner was popular and needed people to expand their business, or the bank's manager did not understand the situation.
Chen Yiyan was still wondering whether this small bank was reliable or not. As a result, she went to the bank and told the front desk staff that she was here to apply for the job. The front desk looked at her and did not even hide her contempt and said, "We will not accept Oriental people."
When she heard that it was this reason, she didn't even ask, and turned around and left. The first one just blew it like that.
The second house finally found a recruitment information from the newspaper riding crack, which was to ask for a skilled accounting reviewer. She thought of her skillful abacus skills and went there excitedly. As a result, the bank here did not need to do abacus, and there were more than a dozen white people who came to apply for the job at the same time. Before Chen Yiyan was interviewed, she chose a blond and blue-eyed beauty.
Afterwards, Chen Yiyan tried more than a dozen jobs, and basically half of them were wiped out because she was an oriental person, and the remaining half was that she could not provide any academic qualifications and work certificates. Those who could come to the Financial City to do decent work must have these beautiful hardware equipment. Although Chen Yiyan was very capable, she did not even give her the opportunity to show it.
Then, Chen Yiyan came to find a job for half a month. Even Huang Mude asked her once, but she only said vaguely that she was still looking for it. Huang Mude had long felt that she could not find a job, and it was not surprising to hear her say that, but she said that she was surprised to find it.
Finally, Chen Yiyan found a job and a cleaner.
