I was tricked into coming here from Xiangyang!

I saw a Wuhan Xiaomi car job posting on that online Boss platform. Then I added that

person on WeChat. He told me Xiaomi Auto pays eight to ten thousand.

Then he sent me a location for an office building and told me to come

for an interview. At the interview he asked my height,

My weight, and then asked,“ What is your expected salary?”

I said,“ Eight thousand is fine.” Then he said,“ Congratulations,

you passed the interview!”

Then that night he arranged a hotel for me. The cost was 179 yuan, and I paid it.

After I had been in the room for about half an hour,

a person came in and told me to first buy a bed set, which cost 450 yuan.

But I told him,“ I already have bedding.” He said,“ Mm… if you buy the bedding,

You can get priority for starting work tomorrow,

because there are quite a lot of people onboarding.” That is what he told me.

Then he said when I leave the job,

it will be fully refunded, so I bought it.

But the next day he told me Xiaomi Auto was fully staffed.

He told me to go to Wahaha instead, but, um…

the condition was I had to do a physical exam first, then interview,

at a wage of 35 an hour. So… I did the physical.

The physical exam fee was 260 yuan.

He also told me it would be fully refunded when I leave the job.

Then during the physical, they drew blood, they just drew…

a whole bunch of those tubes. After they finished drawing my blood,

I almost fainted, and then the next day…

I went to the factory gate for the interview, right? After the physical,

you interview first, so when I got to the gate…

The security guard at the gate said,“ Wahaha isn’t even hiring at all.”

Then I called him.

I couldn’t get through on the phone, I sent him a WeChat, he had already blocked me,

that’s when I realized I’d been fooled by him.

Right now I don’t even know what to do.

It’s already past ten at night, and… I do have a temporary dorm.

How about you come stay with me for one night?

I could, but I don’t have a single cent on me, I can’t even afford to go home.

It’s fine, Sister Xishi’s dorm is free,

it can take in people from all over, free of charge.

If there are any fellow workers down on their luck,

they can all stay there for free. Then tomorrow morning, we’ll see…

find you another factory to interview at. Or what do you want to do?

I’ll just go home. Trying to find work in Wuhan, there are too many scammers here!

This is such a rip- off! I’m just going home, but I…

I don’t have money for a ticket. Don’t worry, Sister Xishi,

I’ll buy you a ticket for free. After I get back, I’ll pay you back, okay?

I’ll pay you back for this ticket, I don’t need to… don’t need to…

I don’t need it. Seeing how tough things are for you,

I’ll buy you a ticket for free. Thank you, Sister Xishi!
