Chapter 14 Grievance
Chapter 14 Grievance
The company recruited a Chinese who graduated from an MBA to do an internship. The company would hold a welcome party for new employees.I brought steamed stuffed buns to the welcome meeting before, and my colleagues liked them very much. This time they also asked me to make some more.
The night before, I used a bread machine to close the noodles, mixed with fresh shrimp, shiitake mushrooms and minced meat, and started to wrap them one by one.Lawyer Mi squatted beside him, his eyes swaying up and down following my movements, Peanut squatted on his shoulders, sniffing his nose, Little Black Bean stared at the wrapped buns, and drew his paws up and down impatiently.
I seriously warned one person and one mouse: "If you two dare to sneak out those dirty paws for me to touch while I'm not paying attention, tonight...huh..."
I scratched my neck a few times to demonstrate, and warned again: "Don't touch it! Do you hear me? If there is a mark on it, I will crack the peanuts and eat them!"
Lawyer Mi immediately snuck back the baby squirrel who was grinding its claws to Baozi.
The first pot of steamed stuffed buns came out of the oven, white and fat people were squeezed inside, and the steam mixed with the aroma rushed to the face.After a few minutes of packing, Mr. Mi took two or three mouthfuls of one by the side. He secretly ate peanuts without forgetting to take a small piece of bun skin and stuffed it into it. Peanut took the bun skin and bared his front teeth. up.Instantly wiped out five big steamed stuffed buns, and Lawyer Mi complained: "Tell me about you, every time the company holds an event, it's delicious."
It's like I usually starve him.
He stretched out his hand and squeezed the flesh on his body, "You're right, look at yourself, where did you get this flesh? Who ate the two catties of sweet and sour pork ribs for dinner?"
Lawyer Mi quibbled, "But you never steamed buns for me to eat!"
"Yeah, I don't steam steamed buns for you to eat, but I will make you siu mai fried dumplings noodle wontons and steamed buns made into the shape of Captain America"
He murmured with a bun in his mouth: "Those are not buns, I want to eat buns"
"Okay, then from tomorrow onwards, let's stop eating siu mai fried dumplings, noodles, wontons and steamed buns. I'll make buns for you and eat them every day."
Lawyer Mi shut up and ate the steamed stuffed buns. He just ate dinner and insisted on eating eight or nine steamed stuffed buns. He finally gave up when he couldn’t eat any more. .
After working all night, I made fifty steamed buns, steamed them again in the morning, and packed them to the company.The little girl at the front desk got close to me because of the last AZ flower delivery incident (see Chapter 7 misunderstanding), and she came over every time to eat.I took two steamed buns and stuffed them into her hand, and the little girl brought the steamed stuffed buns up to her nose and sniffed them vigorously, "Asher, your Chinese food is really delicious, a dim sum can be so delicious."
Put the buns on the big table, and while there was still some time, I hurried back to do some work.
At 09:30, there were more and more people. Everyone put the food on the table and gathered slowly.
I didn't eat in the morning. As soon as the welcome meeting started, I immediately took two plates, filled them up, and found a quiet corner with the girls at the front desk to eat.There were a lot of people around the newcomer, and everyone was introducing themselves one by one. When they heard that she was Chinese, several other colleagues pointed at me and said, "Asher is also Chinese, you two should be able to chat easily. Now our department There are only two Chinese people.”
While stuffing his mouthful of cake, he suddenly heard his name, and raised his head in bewilderment.
The girl was dressed very stylishly, wearing a famous brand, carrying a small Chanel bag, with Korean-style unibrows and heavy makeup.She sat down next to me very consciously, and spoke Chinese to me as soon as she came up, with a very charming tone, "Hello, my name is Serena, is your name Asher? So you are Chinese."
When someone came up to chat with me, I was embarrassed to eat any more, so I put down the plate and replied politely.
It may be that I was more excited to see Chinese people. Others came up to greet her during the whole process. The girl only replied a few words, then turned around and came back to speak Chinese to me, which made other colleagues very embarrassed.Foreigners in foreign countries always like to get together. When seeing strangers from the same country, they will have an inexplicable sense of intimacy, just like meeting fellow villagers from the same place in China. It feels like you are another different father of me. Shit brothers and sisters.
I reminded her in a low voice: "We are in the United States, and the people in this company are basically Americans. Why don't we speak Chinese?"
She nodded, said a few symbolic words, and then switched back to Chinese unconsciously.
Seeing that she and I were chatting happily, the department manager waved his hand and said, "Asher, you and the newcomer are both from China. You can take her with you during the newcomer training during this period."
With half a piece of fried chicken in my mouth, I looked silent: ...
Afterwards, the girl followed me when I went to work, chatting endlessly about where I went and where she went.She talks to me about her ex-boyfriend all day long.
"Asher, Asher, let me tell you, I moved yesterday, and you didn't come to help me. My cabinet arrived, and I couldn't move it. I just sat on the floor and cried, and then called my ex-boyfriend, and I cried. Then I said to him: woo woo woo my cabinet is here but I can’t move it and I don’t know how to install it. What should I do? Come and help me, okay? Then he came. I drove for more than an hour, help me After pretending, I drove him away. Hahaha, I laughed so hard."
I was holding the milk tea with a blank expression on my face. I didn't know why this watering flower insisted on telling me these things, and I couldn't even get a laugh.
This is the fourth time I heard her say that she moved and couldn't move things, so she called her ex-boyfriend in the middle of the night and asked him to drive over to help immediately.One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. According to her, the ex-boyfriend took it for granted every time, drove over to help, and then she would tell me the next day like a joke.
I'm not interested in other people's private lives, but it's too annoying to bother me with these crap every day.One day I couldn't bear it anymore, and interrupted when she was talking happily, "I know you think I'm Chinese, you want to get close to me, talk about Chinese, I don't mind. But please don't talk to me again. I said what happened to your ex-boyfriend, I really can’t listen anymore.”
Gai Huahua winked at me, eyes with tall eyeliner rolled and turned, and said in an ambiguous tone, "What? Asher, you don't want to hear it? Could it be, are you jealous?"
I took a sip of coffee and tried my best to swallow the words "damn mentally retarded" from my mouth. I didn't speak, put down the cup and went back to the desk.
It was raining in the evening, and I didn't bring an umbrella. Attorney Mi sent a text message in advance to say that he was coming to pick me up.A while ago, he took over the lawsuit from the big boss of our company. Recently, he often came to see clients and went downstairs to visit his family members. Over time, he got along very well with the receptionist girl, the doorman brother, and the cleaning lady. When he saw him, he opened the door and let him go.I was still typing on the keyboard at the desk, a piece of cake was handed over from the side, and I turned my head to meet Uncle's big smiling face.
"Honey, I'm here to pick you up~"
After taking the cake, he waved his hand, "I still have a little to finish, please sit next to me"
He didn't bother me, and took the initiative to chat with the young girl at the front desk. When a young girl saw him coming, she immediately clamored to see Peanut.Lawyer Mi carefully rescued the baby squirrel from his coat pocket, and when Peanut came on stage, the receptionist shouted again.He took out another box of snacks and handed it over, so happy that other girls came over and called his colleagues to eat together.Lawyer Mi is very good at being a man. He always brings food and buys a lot. Everyone has a share.
Seeing the bustle and bustle ahead, Gai Huahua walked over with the documents in his arms and asked, "What's going on in front, so lively?"
I was busy typing, without raising my head, I replied, "There is food ahead."
"Hey, there is a tall man, let me go and have a look"
I thought, I guess I saw my uncle.
After 10 minutes, after dealing with things, I got up to pack my bag, picked up the cake on the table, ate the cake with the bag in one hand, and walked over.
When the girl at the front desk saw me coming, she immediately waved, "Asher, there is something delicious again, thanks to you."
Lawyer Mi was surrounded by other colleagues chatting, I walked over and patted him on the shoulder, signaling: We can flash.
Gai Watering was holding a cupcake shyly, standing in front of him, talking to him in broken English, "You are French, I have always wanted to go to France, if there is a chance, can I go to Paris with you ?”
Lawyer Mi nodded politely, and stretched out his hand to wipe my mouth habitually, "Why do you always eat all over your face?" He gave him a blank look, "Why do you wipe it off, I want to lick it off with my tongue later."
When the peanut hidden in his pocket saw me coming, he poked his head out immediately, flew over and landed on my chest.
"How many times have you said that you jump on people whenever you see them, don't scratch so hard with your little dirty paws, it hurts to death!"
Pulling the peanut down and holding it in his hand, he took out a nut from his uncle's pocket and fed it.Peanut gnawed on the nut contentedly.
The little girl envied, "Sure enough, the pet only kisses the owner. We want to touch it, but it avoids us."
Gai Watering Flower interjected, "Are Asher and Michelle friends? Is this your squirrel? It's so cute."
After speaking, he looked at me expectantly.
The little girl said, "Hey, don't you know? Michelle and Asher are a couple"
A few female colleagues next to him also smiled and said, "You may not know that if you are new here, Michelle is Asher's boyfriend. Not long after Asher started work, Michelle came to pick him up with a huge bouquet of roses. "
Gai watering the flowers and five thunderbolts, he was so shocked that the cake in his hand dropped, he silently took two steps back, away from us.
After knowing our relationship, she didn't stay away from me, but came closer to me, intentionally or unintentionally, asking about my uncle's situation. Every time Lawyer Mi came to see a client, she would wait by the side and take the opportunity to say hello. accurate.
This unpleasant day didn't last long. The company opened the watering plant in less than half a year. It seems that she was engaged in private purchasing and failed to file tax returns. The company issued a work visa for her, but the purchasing agent was found out. , the company was afraid of being affected, so he was fired directly.
She collapsed immediately when she received the resignation notice, crying and begging for an explanation in the boss's office.Gai Watering, choked with sobs, came to plead with me: I beg you, because we are all Chinese, help me, that, isn’t that Michelle a lawyer?He must be able to help me, right?
I was dragged helplessly, shook my head and said, "I'm sorry, but I can't do anything about it. It's not a matter of helping or not. I have no right to take care of his affairs. I never care what case Michelle takes."
She asked with a sharp voice: "Aren't you a couple? What's wrong? Just talk to him, he will definitely listen to you and will be willing to take my case"
"He is the attorney representing the boss of this company, and he will definitely speak for the company. There is no way to take your case, and I don't want to force him to do anything..."
She suddenly slapped me viciously, kept hitting me with her bag, and kept swearing, "You fucking gay, fucking gay! You don't want to help me with this! Do you want me to die? I want to die!"
Colleagues around her stepped forward to hold her back, and the girl at the front desk called the security guard from downstairs.
When she was forcibly taken away by the security guards, she was still yelling and cursing in Chinese: "I curse you to die, you two gays will die! You have AIDS! Go to death, you people! Chinese people know Bullying your own people! China is looked down upon by others because of garbage like you, a bitch like you who is willing to sell to foreigners."
I stood there blankly, my mind blank.
This incident alarmed the boss. He called Lawyer Lai Mi and asked him to pick me up.Other colleagues came up to comfort me. They couldn't understand those words, but I understood them.The little girl at the front desk also ran to buy coffee and cakes, and brought them to me.
I waved my hand and smiled at them, and said with a smile: It's okay, I'm fine, thank you for your concern.Let's keep working.Don't delay your work... It's not good. Uncle rushed over quickly, running around, and hugged me up and down to check: "I heard from your boss that you were beaten by your colleagues? Where did you hit? Does it hurt? ? What's going on?"
For some reason, I suddenly feel wronged.
I wasn't sad at first, but when I saw my uncle, I immediately wanted to cry.He jumped up and started crying.
He touched my head and coaxed me softly: "I know you have been wronged, I feel so wronged, cry, cry."
Weeping, he was held in his arms and brought home.Afterwards, Attorney Mi personally asked for leave with the boss for me, and asked me to temporarily switch to working from home.I didn't cook at night, my uncle went out to buy takeaway and came back.During the meal, Lawyer He Mi explained the matter in detail.
He comforted me: "The girl had problems before, and your boss asked me about it. Her taxes are not clean. Why do you still do purchasing after finding a stable job? It will definitely be found out. If a company cheats on tax returns The company will also suffer if the person applies for a green card. You have done nothing wrong!"
The company is unwilling to get involved in such things as taxation. It has no intention of protecting her. It is because of her own greed that she asks the company to apply for a work visa and a green card for her, and at the same time buys for her to make money. She wants to take advantage of both sides.In fact, Gai Watering Flower and I graduated from a university. The tuition of N University is very expensive, and it is impossible for families who can afford it to be short of money.
When it comes to being poor, no one can compare to Lawyer Mi. We happened to be at that time. He was poor and could not afford to rent a house. He only had two sets of suits, which he wore in rotation. He owed more than 20 yuan in student loans to the bank.Uncle has a very unique view on poverty. Poverty is not terrible. If you work hard, money is easy to earn. Greed is the root of all evil. Gai Watering Flowers has nothing but watermelon and sesame seeds because of his greed.There are many such Chinese students studying in the United States. Parents hope that their children will be Jackie Chan and send their children abroad. When the children just left the country, they were frightened by the interest rates in the United States and started to engage in purchasing agents in order to make money.
When I was in college, a Chinese in the same major also did this. During class, I was always swiping my phone frantically, grabbing discounted products, skipping classes, and copying homework.He often brags to us that he can earn three to five thousand dollars in three months, but he forgets that he does not listen well in class, and needs to retake a course after failing a course. Retaking a course will cost an extra 6000 U.S. dollars, which is not worth the candle.Someone mentioned him at the same graduate party of the business school. Do you know XXX?He hasn't graduated yet, and has been studying for more than five years.
People prefer things that are short-term and quick-resulting, like making money by purchasing agents, or weight-loss pills. If there is a medicine that can lose 20 pounds in a month, there will be no fat people in this world. There are always advantages and disadvantages. If there is no Disadvantages, it means that your retribution has not yet arrived.There are a lot of people evading taxes in the United States, which is also a manifestation of the imperfect system. The middle class is the most miserable, and one-third of the money they earn must be handed over to the country. The country uses the money to support the poor. vicious circle.In the eyes of the Chinese, the United States is heaven, but it is not.
After dinner in the evening, the two of them sat on the sofa with their arms around each other to watch a movie. Attorney Mi suddenly said sourly, "You are very popular in the company, and all the new girls like you."
"Pull it down, she just sees that I am Chinese and wants to form a gang with me, really, there is no other meaning"
He raised his eyebrows, obviously disbelieving: "Really? No other meaning?"
"Really, trust me, she's not my type"
Lawyer Mi drew his voice, "Oh~~~~~~ You still have food, what kind of food do you have?"
Pulling down his neck and kissing, "I like 1 meters, blond hair and blue eyes, and a silly otaku lawyer."
