"Mr. Garrod, these two men harassed me first, and then this happened."
The girl stood up bravely and said to the restaurant manager. She knew in her heart that today's matter would probably be difficult to resolve, and her job in the restaurant would definitely be lost. All she needed to worry about now was how much compensation the restaurant would ask her to pay. She
She didn't have time to think about whether she could afford such compensation. What she was thinking about now was just that she couldn't let these three kind-hearted people from her hometown be implicated because of her incident.
"Xu, you said these two gentlemen harassed you, do you have any evidence? As a waiter, your obligation is to provide services to the guests, not to attack the guests with your Chinese compatriots." Garrod didn't care about the Chinese girl at all.
Instead of explaining, he reprimanded her loudly.
The Chinese girl named Xu Xiaoqi knew in her heart that Garrod was a person with slight racist tendencies. If it weren't for the relatively low salary she wanted, Garrod would not have allowed her to work in this restaurant. This is
This conflict occurred between Chinese and Americans, and Garrod naturally sat on the American side. As for the relationship between waiters and guests, it was just a cover. Qin Hai and the others were also guests.
But in Garrod's heart, Chinese guests have no higher status than American guests.
Qin Hai also heard the mystery in Garrod's words. He emphasized that Qin Hai and others were compatriots of Xu Xiaoqi, and had already classified them into the same group a priori. Qin Hai knew that due to China's economic backwardness, Westerners naturally
He has a sense of superiority in front of the Chinese and feels that the Chinese are easy to bully. Unfortunately, this judgment does not apply to Qin Hai. From the bottom of his heart, he does not think that white skin is superior to his yellow skin. In the end,
At least the monkey hair on your body has not faded, right? How can you pretend to be a civilized person in front of me?
"Mr. Garrod, you should see where the conflict took place. Why did these two gentlemen leave their tables and come here? Everyone in the restaurant can see that these two gangsters are chasing these men.
You are a beautiful girl, when a gangster chases your sister, would you advise your sister to fulfill her obligation to make the gangster happy?" Qin Hai opened his mouth and picked out the women from Garrod's family to greet them.
"Maybe... they were just joking with Miss Xu?" Garrod looked a little confused. Xu Xiaoqi knocked over the dinner plate. There is no big responsibility for this kind of thing. The key to the whole conflict lies in Qin Hai and Ning.
Mo fought with the two white men. And the place 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 had to explain why they came to Qin Hai
Are they going to fight at the dinner table?
"Does your restaurant call this kind of behavior a joke?" Qin Hai sneered, "In the civilized places I've been to, this kind of behavior is called harassment, and you will be held legally responsible."
The two white men had already gotten up from the ground. They were cursing but made no specific movements. They couldn't remember how they were knocked down. They only knew that the fall was very painful. They looked at it.
Qin Hai and Ning Mo had a faint sneer on their faces. They couldn't help but think of some legends about Chinese martial arts. They gave them the courage to dare not come forward to provoke them again.
"Two gentlemen, what do you think?" Garrod turned around and asked the two of them. He failed to intimidate Qin Hai and his party. He could only listen to the attitude of the other party first.
"We're going to file a complaint against you! We're going to call the police!" the two white men shouted in an angry voice.
"Please do it." Qin Hai also risked his life. He didn't know whether the American police would take sides, but at this time he obviously couldn't give in. Otherwise, his prestige would be reduced, and Xu Xiaoqi might suffer a loss.
He was thinking rapidly in his mind about what connections he could find to settle the matter, but it really didn't work. He could just spend money to buy peace and go to the police station to pay a fine.
"Two gentlemen, are you sure you want to call the police?" A somewhat bald American walked up and said coldly to the two white men.
"Yes, what's the matter with you?" the two white gangsters said with a pinched neck. In fact, they had not thought about whether to call the police. They were not sure that the police would be on their side, so they were not sure of winning if they called the police.
But I couldn't fight again and again. If I didn't want to walk away in despair, I 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 at Ripp Law Firm, my name is Schlosser. If you need lawyer services, I am willing to help you."
Having said this, he took out a tape recorder from his pocket and said with a smile: "It contains the voices of these two bastards harassing this beautiful lady and making racially-discriminatory remarks to you. If this tape is handed over to you,
To the court, I am confident that they will pay no less than 20,000 US dollars in mental compensation."
Everyone in the restaurant was shocked by this reversal. The two white gangsters looked at each other, then suddenly turned around and ran away. Before everyone could react, they had already rushed out of the restaurant and escaped without a trace.
No trace left.
"It's a pity that you lost an opportunity to earn 20,000 US dollars in compensation." Schlosser shrugged to Qin Hai and his party and said half-jokingly. The two gangsters did not leave their names, so Schlosser could not find them.
He was the target of the lawsuit, so it can be said that he lost a lot of money in vain. Of course, he also understood that if the two gangsters had not continued to be entangled, Qin Hai would not have taken the matter to court. Litigation
This kind of thing is easy to say, but it is time-consuming and labor-intensive and cannot be afforded by a foreigner.
"Nevertheless, I will pay for your lawyer's fees." Qin Hai replied with a smile. He was a stranger to him, so if he could come out to help him at this time, Qin Hai would not be stingy with paying a small thank you fee.
.
"I'm looking forward to it," Schlosser said. Then he turned to look at Garrod and asked, "Mr. Garrod, what do you think of this matter? You also plan to continue pursuing my Chinese client."
Responsibility?"
Garrod was 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, our restaurant will not have any objections."
"Mr. Garrod, I..." Xu Xiaoqi walked to Garrod with her head lowered, not knowing how to speak. After all, the incident happened because of her, so Garrod does not need to hold Qin Hai and the others responsible.
, but will not be indifferent to her.
"Ms. Xu, unfortunately, I feel that you are not suitable for a job like a restaurant waiter, what do you think?" Garrod said.
Xu Xiaoqi was stunned for a moment, then understood what Garrod meant, nodded and said: "I understand, Mr. Garrod, I am asking for your resignation, please approve it..."
When she said this, her voice was choked up, and tears of disappointment dripped down from her face.
"Xiao Xu, don't be afraid, we are here." Ning Mo hated seeing girls cry. He patted Xu Xiaoqi's arm and said, "Stop working in such a shabby restaurant as soon as possible. I'll let our buddies
It would be better to introduce you to another job than to suffer their anger here."
The buddy Ning Mo refers to is naturally Qin Hai. In Ning Mo's mind, Qin Hai is an omnipotent person, and it should be a simple effort to help Xu Xiaoqi. Of course, Ning Mo himself can also spend money to support Xu Xiaoqi.
But he didn't know whether this approach was appropriate. And if Qin Hai could help Xu Xiaoqi find another job through his connections, this kind of help would be easier to accept.
Xu Xiaoqi turned to look at Ning Mo, and suddenly felt that the fat man's words were so warm. She nodded solemnly and said, "Thank you, thank you, brother."
Qin Hai said a few words to Garrod, sent him away, and then said to Xu Xiaoqi: "Xiao Xu, please sit here 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 instructed. Qin Hai walked up to Schlosser, took out two hundred-dollar bills, handed them over, and said, "Mr. Schlosser, thank you very much for your help. Although we didn't ask you in the end.
You are helping us with the lawsuit, but you have actually helped us a lot. Please accept this small kindness."
Schlosser laughed, waved his hand, and said, "It's not enough to give me this little money. The money I hope to earn from you should be at least 50 times that."
"What do you mean?" Qin Hai was a little confused. It was true that the other party had helped them before, but it was good to get 200 US dollars as a thank you for saying these two words. He said he hoped to earn 50 times the amount.
Money, that is 100,000 US dollars, what does he have to rely on to allow himself to spend so much money?
Before Qin Hai could figure it out, another person came over. He pulled Schlosser and said to Qin Hai: "Mr. Qin, what a coincidence. Let me introduce to you that 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 paying Mr. Schlosser a commission of 100,000 US dollars should not be very expensive, right?"
Qin Hai took a closer look and found that the person speaking was none other than Mordecline, the boss of Downer Company. He had a smile on his face and looked gloating. Only then did Qin Hai understand that it turned out that Schlosser was not the one who came to help them.
Being possessed by Bethune's soul was the role played by Mordecian behind the scenes. It must have been Mordecian who dragged Schlosser to this restaurant for dinner, and encountered a conflict between Qin Hai and the others and two gangsters, so he asked Schlosser to
Lowther stepped in to help.
As for the tape in Schlosser's hand, he might have made it up. Mordecian is a sound engineer, so it's not surprising that he would bring a small tape recorder when he went out. He certainly wasn't that foresighted enough to get ahead of the conflict before it happened.
Record all relevant evidence.
However, the authenticity of the tape is indeed not important. It is enough to scare the two gangsters so much that they dare not look back. (To be continued)
