We can go now if you like, but I should explain something to you first. Our factory generally only takes people on recommendations. That's not a problem if I'm here, but there's also a rule in our factory that all employees have to give a RMB100 deposit on starting work at the factory. The factory is concerned that workers will quit after a few days. You just need to work at the factory for a month and they'll return your RMB100 cash deposit in full. Look at this, buddy...
