Chapter 146 Borrowing Silver
"After you finish your studies here, we will recommend a suitable place for you, but not everyone can be selected as a female guard, and not everyone can be accepted by the store."
“Only those who work hard and persevere and are the best will have more choices, better treatment and a better future.”
"You have to be mentally prepared for this."
"......"
"Finally, the female guards recommended by us who are selected will receive a monthly salary for the first three months. Those who are not selected will not receive a penny."
Xiaoying changed into a set of coarse cloth clothes. Due to the exercise she had done these days, her spirit and energy were very different from before, and her every move was full of power.
She stood at the entrance of the renovated martial arts hall and spoke to the people who had signed up in the alley.
The voice was clear and loud, echoing throughout the entire alley so that everyone could hear it clearly.
"Ah, 30% of the monthly salary, and you have to collect it for three consecutive months. That's not what you said before."
After Tsai Ing-wen announced the charging standards, some people became dissatisfied.
Most people kept their heads down, thinking.
Xiaoying glanced over and answered heroically, "It was for the first batch of female apprentices, but no one came to sign up."
"No matter how well we explained the benefits of martial arts to you, you were never interested."
"Now what you want is to make money, so we are naturally the same. As long as you are successfully selected, you will charge a certain amount of introduction fee."
"And we only collect this introduction fee from the selected female guards. I don't think it's expensive to accept this money."
"I can tell you here that this is the second batch of fee standards. The fee standards and the standards for accepting apprentices will only be stricter in the future."
"You need to think carefully whether you want to sign up or not. You need to sign a contract when you sign up. If you give up halfway, your deposit will not be refunded!"
After Xiaoying said all the good and bad things, she opened the door and waited for people to come in and sign up.
She would not make random promises about things that she could not do just for the sake of her martial arts school's business. She would say if she could do it, and not say if she could not do it.
Because her and Shen Wei's real intention was to allow women to have another path to choose.
Instead of blindly marrying someone you don't know, having children, being the nanny for the whole family, being humiliated and scolded, and if you are unlucky and don't marry the right person, you will be subjected to domestic violence and live a life worse than death.
She wanted to blaze a trail.
A new path gives women two choices. Although the hope is slim, she still has to try it.
After hearing the introduction, the people below looked at each other in bewilderment: "Ah? It turns out that it's not just about signing up, but also about being selected. I don't think I'll be chosen in this condition, so forget it."
"Yeah, if I work so hard to learn martial arts and become muscular, but still can't be a bodyguard or work in a store, then I'll be at a big loss."
"I don't know how my husband's family will despise us by then. How can I get married?"
"Let's go. We won't study anymore. With so many people signing up, it's hard to stand out from the crowd."
Many people come here with the intention of becoming female guards after graduation.
When they heard that there were so many requirements and that it might be all in vain, many people immediately thought of backing out.
Most of the people in the alley left at once, and some of the remaining people were hesitating, while some had already stepped in to find Xiaoying to sign up.
A woman with clothes so washed that they looked pale reached out and grabbed her companion. Both of them had sallow complexions and bodies like bean sprouts. It was obvious that they were suffering from long-term malnutrition and were so poor that they could not even afford to eat.
Compared with the women around them, they were too thin.
"You're not really going to go, are you? We can't do it. Look at those who signed up, they are stronger than us. We are so skinny, we can't beat them even if we learn martial arts."
"Besides, this money is borrowed. If we are not elected, we will..."
