The Supreme Soldier in the City

Emma Campbell immediately said: "Aunt Mary, if it weren’t for your care all these years, I wouldn’t have known what to do. Emma has always been very grateful to you. In the past, Emma had no ability and couldn’t repay you. But now that James is here, Emma’s situation has improved a lot. How can Emma forget you?"

"You child, as long as you have this thought, that’s enough. It’s so hard to make money now. How can you spend it so recklessly? Sigh, Uncle John and I earn less than 600 Dollars a month combined, and this situation is even worse. Your Uncle John is about to be laid off again."

With that, Aunt Mary sighed heavily.

Emma Campbell puzzledly said: "Isn’t Uncle John working at the tax office?"

"He used to, but you know your Uncle John is just a driver, not officially on staff. Even though he’s worked at the tax office for over twenty years, as a non-staff, he’s essentially a temp worker. He earns little, and if they say they don’t need you, then you’re out of a job, with absolutely no way around it."

Emma Campbell frowned slightly and said: "My uncle has worked for over twenty years. According to labor laws, shouldn’t he have been converted to permanent staff long ago?"

"Labor laws are just a joke. Just the other day, they started some labor dispatch scheme, and those scoundrels at the tax office transferred the original staff to a labor dispatch company, which then sends them back to work at the tax office. That way, even though they’re working at the tax office, they have nothing to do with it, so what do they care about labor laws?"

"This is a government enforcement department, how can they break the law knowingly?" Emma Campbell widened her eyes.

"It’s these law enforcement departments that don’t obey the law, and that’s why there’s no solution. If you work in any company and the company doesn’t abide by the law, you can go to the labor bureau. But this is also an enforcement department, and the labor bureau doesn’t handle it. Just like that, your Uncle John works hard for many years, only to be dismissed casually. Is there any justice in this?"

Aunt Mary became increasingly agitated and angry. Emma also felt at a loss, understanding the complexities of employment issues, especially in departments like the tax office, where getting a permanent staff position is extremely difficult. If Uncle John doesn’t have a job, relying solely on Aunt Mary’s odd jobs income will be far from adequate.

At this moment, the sound of a door being unlocked was heard as a middle-aged man walked in, wearing a lost expression, with his head lowered, not seeing James Brown and Emma Campbell.
