Material Empire

"Mr. Garrod, these two people harassed me first, and then this happened."

The girl bravely stood up and said to the restaurant manager. She knew in her heart that it might be difficult to settle this matter today, and she would definitely lose her job in the restaurant. What she needed to worry about now was how much the restaurant would make her compensate. She didn't have time to think about whether she could afford such compensation. What she was thinking about now was not to let these three kind-hearted people from her hometown be affected by her affairs.

"Xu, you said that these two gentlemen harassed you, do you have any evidence? As a waiter, your obligation is to provide service to the guests, not to bring your fellow Chinese to attack the guests." Garrod didn't care about the Chinese girls at all. Instead of explaining, he reprimanded her loudly.

The Chinese girl named Xu Xiaoqi knew in her heart that Garrod was a slightly racist person, and Garrod would not have allowed her to work in this restaurant if it wasn't for the low salary she asked for. This conflict took place between the Chinese and the Americans, and Garrod naturally sat on the side of the Americans. As for the relationship between the waiter and the guests, it was just a cover. Qin Hai and the others were also guests, but in Garrod's heart, Chinese guests had a higher status than American guests.

Qin Hai also heard the mystery in Garrod's words. He emphasized that Qin Hai and others are Xu Xiaoqi's compatriots, and they have been classified as one group a priori. Qin Hai knew that due to China's economic backwardness, Westerners naturally have a sense of superiority in front of the Chinese and feel that the Chinese are easy to bully. It's a pity that this judgment doesn't apply to Qin Hai. In his heart, he never thinks that white skin is superior to his own yellow skin. At least, the monkey hair on your body hasn't faded. What kind of civilized person do you pretend to be?

"Mr. Garrod, you should see where the conflict happened. Why did these two gentlemen leave their table and come here? Everyone in the restaurant can see that these two hooligans are chasing this You are a beautiful girl, would you persuade your sister to fulfill the duty of being happy with the gangster when a hooligan chases your sister?" Qin Hai opened his mouth, and brought out the women in Garrod's family to greet him.

"Maybe...they were just joking with Ms. Xu?" Garrod couldn't hold back. Xu Xiaoqi knocked over the dinner plate, this kind of thing is not very responsible, the key to the whole conflict is Qin Hai, Ning Mo and those two white men. And the location of the conflict, as Qin Hai said, was not at the dining table of those two people. Even if the police came, those two people would have to explain why they came to Qin Hai and their dining table to fight, right?

"Does your restaurant call this kind of behavior a joke?" Qin Hai sneered, "In the civilized places I have been to, this kind of behavior is called harassment, and you must bear legal responsibility."

The two white men had already got up from the ground at this time, they were cursing and grumbling, but they didn't make any specific movements. They couldn't remember how they were brought down, they only knew that it was a bad fall. Seeing the faint sneer on Qin Hai and Ning Mo's faces, they couldn't help but think of some legends about Chinese martial arts, and they didn't dare to go forward to provoke them again if they had the guts.

"Gentlemen, what do you think?" Garrod turned his head and asked the two of them. He couldn't scare Qin Hai and his party, so he could only listen to the other party's attitude first.

"We want to complain to you! We want to call the police!" two white men shouted sternly.

"Please go ahead." Qin Hai also went all out. He didn't know if the American police would pull back, but he obviously couldn't be subdued at this time, otherwise he would lose his prestige, and maybe Xu Xiaoqi would suffer. In his mind, he quickly thought about what kind of relationship he could find to settle the matter. If it didn't work, he would spend money to buy peace and go to the police station to pay a fine.

"Gentlemen, are you sure you want to call the police?" A somewhat bald American stepped forward and said coldly to the two white men.

"Yes, what's the matter with you?" The two white hooligans said with their necks stuck. In fact, they didn't think about whether to call the police. They couldn't be sure that the police would stand by them, so calling the police was not sure of winning. But he couldn't beat him again and again. If he didn't want to walk away in despair, he could only scare people by calling the police.

Xie Dingke walked up to Qin Hai, handed over a business card, and said, "Sir, I am a lawyer from Lip \u0026 Partners, my name is Schlosser. If you need legal services, I am willing to help you."

Speaking of this, he took out a tape recorder from his arms, and said with a smile: "It records the voices of these two bastards harassing this beautiful lady and making racially discriminatory remarks to you. If you hand over this tape To the court, I am sure they will pay no less than US$20,000 in spiritual damages."

The people in the restaurant were shocked by this reversal. The two white hooligans looked at each other, then turned around suddenly, and ran away. Before everyone could react, they had already rushed out of the restaurant and fled without a trace.

"It's a pity that you lost an opportunity to earn 20,000 US dollars in compensation." Schlosser shrugged at Qin Hai and his party, and said half-jokingly. The two hooligans did not leave their names, and Schlosser could not find the object of the lawsuit, so it can be said that a sum of money was lost in vain. Of course, he also understood that if the two hooligans had not continued to entangle, Qin Hai would not have taken this matter to court. Litigation is easy to say, but time-consuming and labor-intensive, it is not something a foreigner can afford.

"Nevertheless, I will pay your legal fees." Qin Hai replied with a smile. He was a stranger to him, and Qin Hai would not hesitate to pay a little thank you fee if he could come out to help him at this time. .

"I'm looking forward to it." Schlosser said, and then he turned his head to look at Garrod and asked, "Mr. Garrod, what do you think about this matter? Are you going to continue to pursue my Chinese client?" Responsibility?"

Garrod is not a fool, how could he say anything at this time, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "Since the matters between the guests have been resolved by themselves, we won't have any objections from the restaurant."

"Mr. Garrod, I..." Xu Xiaoqi walked up to Garrod with her head down, not knowing how to speak. After all, the incident happened because of her. Garrod could not hold Qin Hai and the others accountable, but he would not be indifferent to her.

"Miss Xu, I'm sorry, I don't think you are suitable for a job like a restaurant waiter, what do you think?" Garrod said.

Xu Xiaoqi was stunned for a moment, then understood Garrod's meaning, nodded and said: "I understand, Mr. Garrod, I ask for instructions to resign, please approve..."

Having said that, her voice was a little choked up, and tears of disappointment trickled down her face.

"Xiao Xu, don't be afraid, we are here." Ning Mo couldn't see girls crying the most. He patted Xu Xiaoqi's arm and said, "Stop working in such a broken restaurant as soon as possible. I'll let our buddies Introducing another job to you is better than being angry with them here."

The buddy Ning Mo was talking about, naturally refers to Qin Hai. In Ning Mo's mind, Qin Hai is an omnipotent person, and helping Xu Xiaoqi should be easy. Of course, Ning Mo himself could use money to support Xu Xiaoqi, but he didn't know if it was appropriate to do so. And if Qin Hai could help Xu Xiaoqi find another job through his relationship, this kind of help would be more acceptable.

Xu Xiaoqi turned her head to look at Ning Mo, and suddenly felt that the fat man's words made people feel so warm. She nodded solemnly and said, "Thank you, thank you big brother."

Qin Hai said a few words to Garrod, sent him away, and then said to Xu Xiaoqi: "Xiao Xu, please sit with us for a while, and I will talk to this lawyer, and then we will go out and discuss other matters. things."

Xu Xiaoqi sat down as promised. Qin Hai walked up to Schlosser, took out two hundred-yuan dollar bills, handed them over, and said, "Mr. Schlosser, thank you very much for your help. Although we didn't invite you in the end Help with the lawsuit, but you have actually helped us a lot. Please accept this little thought."

Schlosser laughed, waved his hands, and said, "It's not enough to give me this little money. I hope that the money I can earn from you should be at least 500 times that."

"What do you mean?" Qin Hai was a little puzzled. It was true that the other party had helped them before, but it was not bad to be able to get a thank you of 200 dollars after saying these two words. He said that he hopes to earn 500 times the money, which is 100,000 US dollars. What can he rely on to make himself pay so much money? Could this be an international blackmailer?

Before Qin Hai could figure it out, another person walked over, pulled Schlosser and said to Qin Hai, "Mr. Qin, what a coincidence. Let me introduce to you, Mr. Schlosser is my lawyer. This time I am going to ask him to be responsible for signing the contract between us. A contract of 38 million US dollars per year, and a commission of 100,000 US dollars to Mr. Schlosser, shouldn’t it be very expensive?”

Qin Hai took a closer look, and it turned out that the person who spoke was Modicon, the boss of Downer Company, with a smile on his face and a gloating expression. It was only then that Qin Hai realized that it turned out that Schlosser was not possessed by Bethune's soul, but was played by Modicon behind the scenes. It must be that Modikon dragged Schlosser to this restaurant for dinner, and ran into Qin Hai's conflict with two hooligans, so he asked Schlosser to come forward to help.

As for the tape in Schlosser's hand, it may have been made up. Modicon is an audio engineer, so it's not surprising that he carried a small tape recorder when he went out. He must not be that foresighted, and he could record all the relevant evidence before the conflict happened.

However, the authenticity of the tape is really unimportant, it is enough to scare the two hooligans from turning their heads.
