Rebirth 1979: Hunting wild boars and saving educated youth

Ning Yao and Lu Ting opened their eyes wide, their mouths opened wide, their faces full of disbelief.

Lu Ting's cheeks flushed with excitement, and her voice trembled a little: "Twelve dollars? Did we hear it right?"

You should know that the current minimum hourly wage in California is only $3.25, which is also the hourly wage they used to make when working in Chinese restaurants.

The hourly wage of my current job has almost quadrupled, which means that working for an hour now is equivalent to working for a whole night in a Chinese restaurant!

Ning Yao was very surprised and kept looking at Chen Feng, wondering if such a high salary was due to his connections?

You know, currently in California, even the higher-paid cleaners make around $9.25 an hour, so $12 an hour was far beyond her expectations.

This salary is much higher than her previous salary as a teacher at Ninghai University!

Lu Ting was so happy that she danced with joy.

With this salary, her request for a scholarship is not so urgent for the time being.

Besides, working in the Olympic Organizing Committee is much more advanced than washing dishes and vegetables in a Chinese restaurant, and it sounds good when you say it out loud.

In the future, when she writes to her family in China, she doesn't have to hide anything all the time. She can just say openly that she is currently interning at the Los Angeles Olympic Committee, which will make her family feel proud.

Afterwards, the two of them happily completed the registration and a series of procedures, and officially joined the Los Angeles Olympic Committee family.

Chen Feng took them to see Peter again.

Peter didn't care about the two more interns. He was more interested in winning over Chen Feng.

Immediately, Peter said to Ning Yao and Lu Ting: "We still have benefits!"

Then he asked Chen Feng: "Why don't you let them both join your Information Comprehensive Department?"

Chen Feng explained, "They're not majoring in computer science, and for girls, the media and public relations department is more suitable. It can also help them hone their ability to interact and socialize with people in the United States."

Peter then said, "Okay, if you need anyone else, just tell me."

In fact, Peter was just asking casually, the key point was that he wanted to give Chen Feng face.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Ning Yao and Lu Ting both looked surprised. They didn't expect that Chen Feng also had a department here.

Then, Chen Feng took them upstairs to visit his department.

As soon as Ning Yao and Lu Ting entered, they were shocked by the scene before them and were speechless.

Ning Yao was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth, while Lu Ting kept looking around.

Not only is Chen Feng the deputy minister of a department of the Olympic Committee, which means he is actually the minister, he also has a female secretary!

The difference is too huge!

Ning Yao and Lu Ting looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

They had been working hard in the restaurant washing dishes and serving customers for several months, but Chen Feng had been promoted to deputy minister and even had a female secretary in less than two weeks!

If he continues to work for a few more years, he will become the governor of California!

However, Ning Yao was surprised but also a little proud. Her man was indeed the best wherever he was!

Ning Yao and Lu Ting happily went to work in the media public relations department, while Chen Feng found Peter again to help him get a driver's license.

"Peter, I want to get a driver's license in the United States. What is the process?"

Peter patiently explained to him: "You have to make an appointment with the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) first, and then there will be a series of procedures, such as application, vision test, etc., after which you can obtain a learner's driving permit."

"After getting your license, you need to practice driving under the supervision of an experienced driver. This is the practice period, which allows you to familiarize yourself with American traffic rules and driving habits. After that, you can schedule a road test. If you pass the road test, the DMV will issue you a temporary driver's license, and you will receive your official driver's license in a few days. However, after getting your driver's license, don't forget to purchase car insurance; this is a legal requirement."

Chen Feng then asked, "How long will this process take?"

Peter shrugged and said, "That's not certain. It could take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. But if you want it quick, I can help you make an appointment in advance as part of the Olympic Organizing Committee. After all, the Olympics are a time-sensitive event, so we have the green light. You can go directly to take the road test, but whether you can pass it or not, brother, no one can help you with that."

Chen Feng was overjoyed and said confidently, "No problem, I still have confidence in my driving skills."

The driving habits in the United States and China are the same, left-hand drive cars drive on the right. For Chen Feng, this is no problem at all!

Seeing his confidence, Peter immediately picked up the phone and called the DMV. After a brief conversation, he put down the phone and said to Chen Feng with a smile, "It's done. You can take the road test the day after tomorrow. It's very fast."

Chen Feng said gratefully, "Thank you so much, Peter. Without your help, I don't know how long I would have had to wait."

Peter waved his hand and said, "You're welcome. Prepare well for the road test the day after tomorrow. I hope you pass it on your first try!"

After finishing the work, Chen Feng was about to say goodbye, but was stopped by Peter.

Peter quickly took out a business plan for the Olympic torch relay and handed it to Chen Feng.

Chen Feng took it and looked at it carefully. He was shocked.

This plan of Peter's is even darker than he suggested at the time!

It costs $3,000 per kilometer to relay the Olympic flame!

He is indeed a black-hearted capitalist!

Chen Feng raised his head and said, "This plan is ok!"

Peter, with a look of indignation on his face, shouted, "Yes, this is such a good plan, but those old-fashioned Greeks actually opposed it! Those guys are simply unreasonable!"

"Everyone only knows how to stick to the rules of the past and has no idea about business operations. They have no ambition and their minds are still stuck in the past thousands of years! They only know how to cling to those so-called traditions and don't consider the reality at all." Peter became more and more excited as he spoke, waving his arms constantly.

Chen Feng was stunned by his scolding and asked in confusion, "What does the Los Angeles Olympic torch relay have to do with the Greek Olympic Committee?"

Peter paused, took a breath, and said, "You don't know, the Olympic torch relay originated in Greece. They believe that the torch relay is sacred and cannot be commercialized. Humph, this is simply stupid! We are rationally utilizing resources to create value, and they are trying to stop us."

Chen Feng still didn't quite understand. "How is the Greek Olympic Committee going to stop it?"

Peter sighed and said, "Brother, don't you know? All Olympic flames must be collected from Mount Olympia in Greece. Normally, Greece would hold an Olympic flame collection ceremony with us, but now these blockheads are refusing to agree! They say that if we don't give up this business plan, they won't let us collect the flame!"
