Chapter 15 Employment

Although the roads in Dunedin are not as spacious as six lanes that can be used to travel around the country, they cannot withstand very little traffic. Without congestion, even if they waited for several red lights in a row, they still arrived at the destination of this trip very quickly.

This is a residential area of ​​a large scale. Several roads running horizontally and vertically cut square blocks. There are about a dozen households distributed in each block, all of which are one or two-story small villas, red, gray and white, with exterior walls that look particularly exquisite under the blue sky.

After Zhang Yafang and Yuan Yi got out of the car, Niu Kelian skillfully turned the car and said goodbye to them.

"He still has to rush to work. Fortunately, his job is more flexible when explaining to tourists, otherwise he really won't be able to come here to pick you up like this."

"I'm really troubled you. It seems that I'm going to buy a car."

Yuan Yi was a little embarrassed to see someone who was deliberately bent in a big circle to pick him up. Anyway, I felt good when driving Dr. He’s car yesterday, so there should be no problem as long as I’m careful when driving.

"Yes, it's really inconvenient to have no car in Da Village. Even if you have time to wait for the bus that takes half an hour, you can't get there directly. Is it okay to transfer? I guess I have to wait for a long time when I'm not lucky."

"I talked to Dr. Zhong when I first came here. I was scared when I saw the driving on the left. I also said I was going to buy a bicycle here."

"Bicycle? There are many people doing this here. The problem is that the road is always steep and sharp bends. Some places are just riding you. For example, the place called 'moana.pool' is a long steep slope that is continuous!"

"Touch that slope?"

Yuan Yi tried very hard to transliterate the place name, muttering in his heart whether it was because of the high slope? He didn't know that "pool" means swimming pool in English, and the "moana" in front is the name of the swimming pool.

"It's okay for you to work hard, but every time your child participates in an after-school activity, you can't ride a bicycle with you, right?"

"After class activities? What activities does he need to run so far?"

"Well, it's just the sports competitions after class every day. Except for the water events, you go to the Monapo, you basically have to go to the comprehensive gymnasium by the sea. The DNI school and gymnasium are one north and one south. Although Dunedin is not big, it takes at least fifteen minutes to drive."

"This...isn't...sports should be in school? I think there are indoor and outdoor courts in that school."

"Haha, school venues are usually used for training. You will know that when the time comes, how could it be possible for any school venue to gather together?

"I really didn't pay attention. I originally wanted to let him participate in the competition, so I didn't have to get off work so early. I..."

Yuan Yi looked at Zhang Yafang beside him with helpless expressions. This is his future boss. He didn't expect that he would talk about taking leave early on the first day of work. I wonder if he would have any objections to this, or would he pay a little less?

"Don't worry about this. I have helped you consider these things. Your job responsibility is to help me talk to parents in China about our English training, such as using video links to show them the teaching environment here, get to know the teachers in class, and give them some relevant answers and guidance. Generally speaking, you must be on duty here in the morning, and just keep your phone online at all times after 2 pm."

"Is this...will it be bad? What if other employees have any objections?"

Although Yuan Yi was very grateful for Zhang Yafang's arrangement, he had to consider it for the other party.

"Well, why do you tell me," Zhang Yafang led Yuan Yi and said as she walked. "The employment system in New Zealand is very strict. I will ask you to help you at most, which is a form of breaking up the job. It is not the formal employment relationship you imagined. Naturally, others have no objection."

Seeing that Yuan Yi was still a little confused, Zhang Yafang simply stopped and explained to Yuan Yi in detail.

The employment system in New Zealand is a bit weird and has very favorable protection measures for employees. Once the boss and the employee sign an employment contract, they cannot unilaterally terminate the contract with the employee unless the company goes bankrupt and goes bankrupt, otherwise they will go and make an announcement.

If the employee does not agree to terminate the contract, no matter how much the employer thinks that the employee is incompetent in the work, he must be given at least one week of correction. If there is no improvement, he must be asked to come to the labor arbitration agency to determine that it is indeed not enough to be qualified for the position to be fired, and he must also be paid enough for the monthly salary...

Therefore, in New Zealand, few employers will give employees a long fixed contract, mostly temporary work, and basically cannot even see the contract text. Only those more special or important talents can obtain long-term formal contracts.

......

Yuan Yi never expected that there would be such an employment relationship here. Once an employee who signed a formal long-term contract could sit on the boss's head and shit?

"This matter, in our Chinese saying, is easy to invite God and it is difficult to send God. So even if the personal relationship between the two is good, it will be treated very cautiously once it is involved in employment. I hope you can understand it."

"If that's the case, it's already a problem for you to come out smoothly this time. Besides, I can give me such an opportunity now, so I don't know how to be grateful."

"If you can help both Chinese people, you will definitely try your best to help, not to mention Juanzi's relationship..." Zhang Yafang looked a little lonely and was silent for a moment before continuing, "I promised that she would take good care of you two father and son."

"Thanks..."

Apart from saying thank you, Yuan Yi, he never knew what to say. To be honest, he regretted this immigration decision. If he didn't immigrate, he would have no flight abroad. If he didn't see him off at the airport, there would be no car accidents later...

He even had a hint of resentment towards Zhang Yafang in front of him. If it weren't for her "help", wouldn't his wife have any idea of ​​immigrating?

Alas, but how can you blame others? It’s just the catharsis of my own emotions after the original happy family broke up. Maybe this is fate.

"Let's go, the house in front is our office."

Zhang Yafang's words broke the brief silence, and he took out the key from his bag early and walked towards the gray building in front.

"call..."

The dead are gone, and life will continue, not to mention that there is still a son to raise. Yuan Yi took a deep breath and suppressed those negative emotions and followed behind.
