Chapter 1 [The Way of Heaven and Earth]

"Brother, you finally called. How is your job? Isn't it very hard?"

"It's not hard. I've arrived in Michigan. I've been flying before. It's not convenient to call by car. The air here is very fresh and the scenery is very good. In short, don't worry, my brother is so strong, and it's very easy to do work. You study hard and take medicine on time... Is it okay at my aunt's house? Did Song Ting make things difficult for you?"

"I'm fine. She went to summer camp and didn't come back on the weekend."

"That's good."

The rain was not heavy, but it was quite windy. Wang Jun shrank his tall and fat body in a corner of the newsstand. While paying attention to the office building of the labor dispatch company across the street, he pretended to smile and called his sister.

Yingying paused for a moment and said twitchingly: "Brother, why don't I take the college entrance exam next year? Even if my body is admitted to college..."

"What are you saying, what are you saying? Yingying, don't say stupid things. Our parents will get angry when they hear it in heaven! How can there be a future if you don't go to school these days? You are so good at studying, you are born to do big things!"

"But if it weren't for me, you could continue to go to sports school..."

Wang Jun rushed to interrupt his sister and taught earnestly: "Yingying, my brother will work hard to make money in the United States and completely cure your illness. Don't worry about money. In the future, you will find a good job after graduating from college. I'm still waiting to benefit you. My brother is too stupid and fat. His only advantage is that he can eat two people's meals and do the work of four people! In short, I'm doing more work now and it's time to lose weight. Aren't you always advised me to lose weight... In short, don't you worry, I'm very good in the United States, I won't say anything anymore, I'm dead, take good care of myself, eat and drink well."

"You keep all the money..."

Before my sister finished speaking, Wang Jun quickly put down the microphone, looked at the time displayed on the phone, and breathed a sigh of relief. It was only two seconds before the conversation lasted for more than three minutes. This was an expensive international long-distance.

After paying the phone bill, Wang Jun touched his stomach, which was so hungry that he was no longer round, and ran across the sidewalk with a bitter face, and mixed into the Chinese migrant workers surrounding the office building.

It has been the third day that Wang Jun came to the United States with a dream of getting rich.

He may be the most unlucky person among this group of migrant workers. His parents are gone. His younger sister Wang Leying suffers from congenital heart disease and cannot exercise vigorously. He also has to take medicine to control her.

Wang Jun, who is over 1.9 meters tall, was recruited to Huaizhou Sports School to practice basketball after graduating from junior high school. However, his family passed away. In order to treat his sister, he was forced to leave after only staying in the sports school for more than half a year. He decisively sold the small house left by his parents. His sister, who was in a critical condition for excessive sadness, had a delayed operation, saving her life. Then, the brother and sister moved into their aunt's house.

My uncle is not a generous person. As the saying goes, he is short-spoken. Wang Jun is unwilling to be a burden to his aunt's family. In more than two years, he has dropped out of school and has done many jobs. He has washed dishes and washed dishes, worked as a temporary worker at the construction site, helped logistics companies deliver goods, etc. He does any job that can make money, just to support himself.

What is depressed is that no matter how hard he tries, Wang Jun can't make a lot of money. He only has a junior high school diploma, is 193cm tall, often eats high-calorie junk food, and weighs more than 250 kilograms at the age of 18. All kinds of unfavorable factors have led to him being always at a disadvantage in the process of looking for a job.

With China entering the market last year, Wang Jun finally saw hope of getting rich. A labor agency in Huaizhou recruited workers from abroad with a B-level visa, and valid for one year. The agency said that the United States is a paradise of money, and promised that the same job would be worth a year of salary equivalent to many years in China. So Wang Jun paid 10,000 yuan in agency fees, and crossed the ocean with great enthusiasm, and achieved success in one year. Now, he deeply understands what a plan is worse than change.

Not all places in the United States are economically developed. They arrived at the Porcupine Mountains in the northwest corner of Michigan, and the cooperative agency also delayed the arrangement of work, but arranged fifty-four employees who were ill and miserable to a particularly remote hotel to wait for news. No one cared about the meal, and the hotel could not cook, so everyone could only buy some food.

Waiting is the most tormenting thing.

The wind was getting heavier and just after lunch time, a black man with an umbrella walked out of the office building and could not tell his age. Everyone hurriedly surrounded him, fearing that the other party would run away.

Wang Jun stood very high. His academic performance was average, but he learned a good foreign language. He was very talented in language and could chat in a foreign language.

"Chinese, who is responsible here?" asked the black man named Avery with his head raised.

It is impolite to call "Chinese" directly. It doesn't matter if people who don't understand foreign languages, but Wang Jun was very angry. He walked into Iver and asked loudly in English: "We are all here to work, aren't you the agents responsible for it? Why haven't we arranged to take up our posts yet?"

"This..." Avery felt a manic aura coming to his face as soon as he saw Wang Jun, and his aura suddenly became weaker. He was half a head shorter than Wang Jun, and the other party's fist was so big that he was afraid that he would be beaten if he had a bad attitude.

"I want to know when I will wait?" Wang Jun asked again: "You came out to inform the results, right? We have been waiting for three days."

Avery took two steps back and frowned and said, "I'm sorry, there is no work arrangement. I'll introduce the company you came to. I said I want to cooperate with the Huaizhou agents we have to cooperate with."

"What's the meaning?"

"The Huaizhou agency set up a scam and did not give us any agency fees, but ran away with the money and left you here to hold us responsible. We are also victims and have just reported the case."

Wang Jun understood the general meaning and was stunned.

Scam? Not only did he not get a job and failed to get rich, he was also cheated of the 10,000 yuan he had saved up with hard work? In order to pay the agency fee, he left Le Ying with less than 2,000 yuan. What should I do?

The scene of his sister making a wish on her thirteenth birthday slowly emerged in his mind. She closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and said devoutly: "My wish is to run freely like an ordinary person."

He also remembered that he went to school to find his sister, who happened to take physical education class. The sister watched her classmates exercise by the stadium, and her envious eyes.

Memories poured in like a tide, slapped his heart like a huge wave. Before going out, he was full of confidence and said that this was going to the United States to explore the way. As long as he made money and performed well, he could take his sister to the United States for a year or two to see a doctor. He found the best doctor in the United States to perform a heart surgery on her to make her healthy...

Wang Jun was jealous and took a big step forward unconsciously. He grabbed Avery's shoulder with both hands, shook and shouted: "How could he be out of work? Then what are we doing in the United States? You must be responsible! You can't do this!"

"Calm down, sir, why do we care? You didn't sign the contract... would you let go first?" Avery's bones were almost dissipated by Wang Jun's shook, and he scolded his colleague for being a bastard in his heart and forced him to do this unlucky errand.

The three of them came up to dissuade him and finally pulled Wang Jun away. He was still shouting: "How come there is no contract? What about the English contract we signed before?"

"It's right in English, but Party A is the company in Huaizhou. Didn't you look carefully?" Avery took a few steps back and looked at Wang Jun with fear, afraid that he would rush up.

Who can understand the contract in English? At that time, I thought there were many people and signed it, but I didn’t expect there would be any major problems here.

Most people didn't understand what was going on. The man in his forties asked, "Xiao Wang, what did he say?"

His companions all hoped that Wang Jun would be the translator. He was under great pressure in front of everyone, but he could not hide the bad news. He had to bite the bullet and translate and said, "He said we were cheated by the company in Huaizhou. The other party had already taken the money away. They said that the victim was the one who would not arrange a job."

When everyone heard this news, they were anxious.

The big man frowned and said, "Xiao Wang, you heard it right? They really said that? Then what should we do?"

Another person asked: "Can these foreigners be in the same group as the Huaizhou company and deliberately shirk responsibility?"

Avery said carefully: "I suggest you return home as soon as possible or find a job by yourself. We really can't take responsibility. What we want is the truck driver, so you can find a way for yourself."

Wang Jun translated and felt that all his strength was exhausted after he said that. How could he go back to China as soon as possible? His family was poor, but now he only has more than one hundred dollars on his body, which is not enough to buy a plane ticket.

Avery returned to the office building, leaving everyone talking.

"What's this? We just went back like this and lost 10,000 yuan in vain?"

"Is there anyone taking care of the air ticket when you go back? Air tickets are a lot of money."

"Why don't we sue?"

"How to fight? Who has ever sued?"

Everyone felt very frustrated, but they didn't know how to fight for their own interests. There were many disputes in the domestic construction industry, and at most they encountered wage arrears. They didn't even see construction companies abroad, and they couldn't speak the language and had no way to petition. They seemed to be able to suffer a loss.

The rain had stopped. Everyone discussed for more than an hour and decided to take action together, at least with some care. If you are in a foreign country, waiting is just a waste of time and there will be no result. It is better to buy a plane ticket as soon as possible and return to China and find domestic media to expose this matter.

Only Wang Jun doesn’t want to go back, so he lost 10,000 yuan and borrowed money to buy a plane ticket to return to China. When will the money be paid? The visa will expire in one year. Even if you use a restaurant to clean up your plates in the United States, you will make more money than in China, right?

Now that he returns to China, he has no shame to see his sister, and he doesn't want to go back to see his uncle and cousin's eyes because he doesn't make any money this time.

Can he save his sister's college tuition in one year? College must be more expensive than high school, right? If he can't make a fortune in the United States, he will not know when he will get another 10,000 yuan.

In any case, I also want to let Yingying graduate successfully from university, find a job, cure her illness, and marry a good man again... No! It is better to watch her give birth to a baby and become a mother, so that I can rest. Will Yingying give birth to a nephew or a niece in the future? This is really a question...

What are you afraid of? I know some English and have hands and feet. Can I still starve to death in the United States? People must have physical work here, right? There is no way out!
