Chapter 1476
500,000 RMB!
The idiotic netizens, who had originally sympathized with Zhou Jing and Abby and loudly denounced the capitalist society of cannibalism, were silent for a moment when they heard this jaw-dropping number, and then they were no longer calm.
What was the concept of 500000 RMB?
In 2018, the capital's annual per capita income was 62361 Yuan. This was the political and economic center of China, but the per capita annual income was only slightly more than 60000 Yuan. The poor provinces in the West had less than 30000 per year.
How many Chinese people do more difficult and dangerous jobs than this, but their income is not even half of 500000 Yuan?
Even in San Francisco, where housing prices are extremely high and rich people gather, a family with an annual income of 70000 dollars is considered to be in the middle class!
Zhou Jing's annual income, even if conservatively estimated, could beat 99.9% of the netizens in the live broadcast room. In fact, excluding the keyboard warriors who bragged, 99.99% was also possible.
Everyone suddenly realized that they were the ones who needed more sympathy ...
"F * ck! Are you guys recruiting mermen?"
"Don't think that I'm a man. I'm very good at crossdressing. I'm more beautiful than many girls!"
"Although I can't bear to go for a sex change, I can still accept getting a breast bump or something. After all, you can't see my legs in mermaid clothes ... Wouldn't it be great to earn a few years 'money and then shrink my breasts back?"
"I'll sign up as long as I'm looking for a man. I'm not joking. It just so happens that I want to lose weight!"
"That's right, a job that only recruits girls, is it really not gender discrimination?"
All sorts of shameless bullet comments instantly exploded.
Zhang Zian had more or less guessed that Zhou Jing and Abby were not fools. If it were not for the generous pay, who would grit their teeth and insist on such an anti-human job?
A yearly income of 500000 RMB was considered a lot? It was indeed a lot, but it had to be considered that this industry depended on youth. It was fine for a girl in her 20s like Zhou Jing, but Abby was already in her 30s. How many more years could she work? How many more years could his body last? At most, he could only work until he was 40 years old. His body did not allow it, and the ocean mansion did not allow it either. Who would want to see a mermaid Auntie when they were old and frail? What if he was in danger in the water?
As a single mother, Abby could not lose this job, at least not now. She had to save money desperately, so that she could save enough for her living expenses and her child's college tuition fees before she turned 40. Although it sounded like an extravagant hope, she could only work hard with this as her goal.
Zhou Jing, since she chose this job, of course, she had her own reasons and difficulties. She agreed with Abby. Neither of them could lose this job, even if they had to take painkillers. They had to grit their teeth and hold on.
At this point, snowy didn't know how to persuade him. She had never experienced the process of struggling for survival, but saying some beautiful words would only make people think,"why not eat meat?"
Abby didn't understand what the three Chinese people were mumbling about. Tired of scolding, she simply sat in front of the dressing table and put on her makeup.
Before going into the water, she had to put on heavy makeup with emphasis on eyeliner and lips. Otherwise, her facial features would be blurred through the water and glass.
Snowy looked at the two sets of mermaid clothes and remembered that Zhou Jing had just told the staff that she and Zhang Zian were here for an interview. She had a guess in her heart. Could it be that the aquarium had already begun to look for Abby's replacement?
There were only two sets of mermaid clothes and they were very expensive. In addition, Abby was old, and the ocean Hall might feel that it was time to change people.
However, this job was too difficult and it destroyed a woman's body. Unless one was crazy about money, it was not easy to find a backup candidate.
Zhou Jing smiled."Are you pitying me?"
"No, I didn't ..." Snowy guiltily explained. In fact, she was really sympathetic.
Zhou Jing shook her head."I'm very glad to find this job. Although it's hard and tiring, at least I earn a lot. As long as I can finish college, I'll quit, because ... I still want to get married and have children. The one who really needs sympathy isn't me. The girls who play the mermaid in the country 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, their monthly salary is only five to six thousand Yuan, or even less. They deserve more sympathy. "
Xiaoxue was silent and could only sigh at this time.
There were too many people suffering in the world, how could he help all of them?
Many ocean pavilions in China also had mermaid performances. When the audience saw the girls playing the mermaids swimming in the water, they might think that it was an easy job to make money by lying down. But in fact, it was a hard, tiring, and harmful job, and they might not get the corresponding reward.
But even so, there were still many girls from the countryside fighting for this job. After all, this job didn't require education or work experience.
In contrast, Zhou Jing was already very lucky.
The audience in the live broadcast room had mixed feelings.
Chang tai breathed to cover her tears, mourning the hardships of the people.
"I've seen a mermaid show before, but I didn't expect it to be so hard to act as a mermaid ..."
"Most service industries in the United States can get tips, but you still need tips for ordering takeaway. It's so unfair that people who exchange their health for money can't get tips."
"I should ask all the girls who play the mermaid to draw a QR code on their backs. The next time I look at it, I'll scan the code, close my eyes, and press zero."
"That's true. I've only seen one mermaid who can really make money lying down, and that's the big-chested and brainless Sihwa ..."
"Hahaha! After all, she has a pretty face. You can't compare her with this. "
It was clearly a joke, but everyone's hearts were heavy.
Being able to endure the pain of extreme dieting would make more money, but not everyone could be a model. It depended on looks, opportunities, and luck. Ordinary-looking people could only earn less money even if they put in more effort.
This was not fair, but there was no such thing as complete fairness in this world. Otherwise, why would people prefer to live in dreams?
Zhou Jing also sat in front of the dressing table and began to do her makeup.
Seeing this, Abby knew that Zhou Jing had decided to go into the water, and her face finally showed a smile.
Zhou Jing had never told anyone about these things, even to her parents and classmates in China. She had always kept her mouth shut. Every time she was asked, she would always smile and answer,""It's okay, it's not too hard ... You've lost weight? I'm trying to lose weight! I know, I'll eat well!"
As long as she didn't say it, no one could imagine how hard it was in this industry.
She had been suppressing the bitterness in her heart and was about to explode. This time, after she opened her mouth, she couldn't hold it back anymore. She kept putting on makeup and drawing her eyebrows while she laughed about all the grievances she had suffered over the years.
