Chapter 7: Self-righteousness
At nine o'clock in the morning, Zhou Ming came out of the shower, and heard the door of the dormitory being knocked, Zhou Ming would take a bath at this time before he ran back in the morning, as a reborn, Zhou Ming is very aware of the importance of a person's physical fitness to success, after all, there is no healthy body, three days and two ends of the hospital, I am afraid that I should fall in the entrepreneurial stage, so Zhou Ming insists on exercising every day.
Zhou Ming opened the door in the past, it was Li Yang, the deputy head of the finance class, he brought a piece of information to report to Zhou Ming: "Teacher, this is the business report of the dormitory convenience store last week, and the turnover of the dormitory convenience store has increased significantly after the implementation of the daily half-price activity, which has increased by at least 40 percentage points compared with before, but I am a little worried that this is only a temporary enthusiasm for the activity, and everyone will not have any expectations after a long time." β
"This situation is normal," Zhou Ming said as Li Yang entered the room, and after they sat down, he continued, "But we can hold the event for a limited time, and the time is different each time, so as to maintain the enthusiasm of consumers as long as possible." β
"There is also a case of teachers, and recently someone has distributed such leaflets in the school. Li Yang took out a small flyer and gave it to Zhou Ming.
Zhou Ming took the leaflet, on which was a photo of a pond full of dead cow carcasses, and a short paragraph of very shocking words was written below: Do you want to know why the discount is half price? It is because they use such beef, these black-hearted businessmen, they think everyone is a vulture that eats carrion!
"What kind of black-hearted businessman discounts half price, this is clearly talking about our dormitory convenience store, because now we are the only one in Harvard University who is implementing a daily half-price activity!" Li Yang said angrily.
"When did this happen, and did it have any impact on the dormitory convenience store?" Zhou Ming asked with concern.
Although Zhou Ming now has Wharton Insurance Company and has absorbed nearly 100 million US dollars of insurance money through the insurance company, he has never lost the dormitory convenience store project, after all, this is his starting point in the United States, and it can also be a good exercise in the business ability of the financial class, and more importantly, he may not know when it will come in handy, so he has stayed here, and Zhou Ming is also more concerned.
Li Yang thought for a moment and replied: "This leaflet was received by Huang Ping on the way to the library this morning, he felt that this situation was more important and immediately brought it back to me, I also just came back from the dormitory convenience store, and the sales of hamburgers in the convenience store this morning were reduced by three percent compared with usual." β
Zhou Ming nodded silently: "It seems that this leaflet was distributed by someone last night or this morning, and the purpose is to target our convenience store." β
"Teacher, what should we do? Call the police right away? But we don't even know who is doing this. Li Yang asked Zhou Ming.
Zhou Ming didn't answer directly, but asked Li Yang rhetorically: "I don't know who it is?" Li Yang, didn't you say before that although Little Brooke was arrested, his store is still here?"
Li Yang suddenly realized: "So that's the case, I guess this incident must have been done by his father in order to take revenge!"
"Now that we know the object, then let's take a two-pronged approach, Li Yang, you call the police immediately, and also invite lawyer Allen, the specific things have to be done by him, after all, he will be more familiar with this process, as for the beef thing...... Zhou Ming thought for a while and said, "I think we can start a burger eating competition, first, we can start the brand of the convenience store, and second, we can also justify the name of our beef." β
Zhou Ming's words made Li Yang's eyes light up, and he said happily: "Teacher, your idea is so good, the students of Harvard University are very enthusiastic, I believe that this competition will be very spectacular!"
In the end, Li Yang also hesitated and asked, "Teacher, do we still need to learn from them to send small leaflets to fight back against them?"
Zhou Ming nodded and said: "Of course, it's okay to come and not be rude!" This job will be handed over to Li Yang, you are in charge, although you are a science student, I hope you can also come up with a good slogan." β
"Great!" Li Yang said happily, "Teacher, don't worry, I promise to complete the task!"
"I'm confident in that. Zhou Ming then remembered something and asked, "By the way, isn't the work of general summary and reporting done by Ye Ning? Why is it Li Yang that you are here to report to me today, does Ye Ning have anything to do?"
"Teacher, in fact, it's nothing, Ye Ning is responsible for this matter, but I am also in charge. Li Yang said.
In fact, Zhou Ming originally asked so casually, but listening to Li Yang's answer, he immediately realized the problem, and immediately frowned and asked: "Li Yang, I know your eloquence is very good, but you can't fool me, you say, what happened, let me tell you, this is in the United States, if Ye Ning has any accidents, you can't afford it at all!"
Zhou Ming's tone carried an undoubtedness, Li Yang couldn't withstand Zhou Ming's pressure and had to explain honestly: "Teacher I'm sorry, I don't want to lie to you, Ye Ning went to find Omar, she blamed herself for the last time, she said that she must persuade Omar to come back." β
"This Ye Ning, I said that this matter is not her responsibility, but I was too naΓ―ve to think about it. β
Zhou Ming nagged and asked, "Then where did Ye Ning go, is it still the library of the law school?"
Li Yang nodded and said yes, Zhou Ming immediately changed his clothes and went out, of course, before going out, Zhou Ming did not forget to throw a sentence to Li Yang, "It's just self-righteous, I'll settle accounts with you when I come back."
Zhou Ming went out and got in the car and came to the library building of Harvard Law School, Ye Ning was still here, she was the only one, sitting on the bench in front of the door and looking at the library building in a daze.
Zhou Ming sighed and walked over gently, before he could reach her side, Ye Ning spoke first: "I'm sorry I'm waiting for my friend, if you can, please go sit somewhere else, thank you." β
Although Ye Ning said this, Zhou Ming still sat down without hesitation and said, "So that's the case? Then I think I'm the friend you are waiting for." β
Hearing that it was Zhou Ming's voice, Ye Ningjiao's body was shocked, and she looked back in a daze: "Teacher...... Why are you here?"
Zhou Ming smiled: "If I don't come, how long are you going to wait here?
Ye Ning couldn't laugh at Zhou Ming's humor, she just lowered her head: "I'm sorry, teacher, I'm really useless, I still couldn't convince Omar today, and I seem to have annoyed him, he said that if any more Chinese people invite him to run, he will call the police......"
"I know, but I don't blame you, I know you've worked hard, you've checked the information and habits about Omar, and you deliberately crossed the Charles River early to wait for him, it's not easy, but some things are really hard to force, our Mr. Omar also hates politics, I don't think we should be strong. β
Zhou Ming continued: "As for him to call the police, let him report it, that's his freedom, we can't stop it, it has nothing to do with you." β
"Now that Li Yang is already preparing for his election in the dormitory, I have asked lawyer Allen, and he is already helping to prepare some necessary legal materials, and I believe that we have a very good candidate. Zhou Ming said to Ye Ning.
"Teacher, don't you really blame me?" Ye Ning asked very movingly.
"Of course it's not weird," Zhou Ming then changed his tone and continued, "But if you continue to look for another man behind my back, I'm really going to be angry." β
Ye Ning's pretty face turned crimson when she heard this, she covered her little face with both hands and said coquettishly: "Teacher, what do you say, how can I find a man behind your back......"
When Zhou Ming finally began to flirt with his sister-in-law, when he was still a schoolgirl, on the other side of Lexington, Anthony took a car to Old Brooke's villa.
"Brother Brooke, I heard a very interesting news at the Brighton City Police Station today, saying that the Chinese Zhou Ming's property on the Harvard campus was maliciously attacked by illegal small flyers, this thing can't be done by you, right?"
As soon as Anthony's had just entered the villa, he opened his mouth to ask Old Brooke, of course, his behavior was indeed an inquiry, but in fact his tone did not mean any inquiry, he was already very sure of the facts.
Old Brooke had already received a call from Anthony to come, and he was standing at the door of the living room on the first floor to greet Anthony, and when faced with Anthony's inquiry, Old Brooke replied: "Mr. Anthony, you have made me very sad when you say this, how can you think so? I admit that my son's property on the Harvard campus has been taken over by my company, but it is only a small part of my many properties, and it is the one that I do not care about the most. β
Anthony smiled lightly and said: "Brooke, my brother, you can lie to me, but I must also tell you that Zhou Ming's lawyer has publicly stated that he will investigate this matter to the end, and he must find out the person or institution behind the malicious slander and file a lawsuit." β
"If he wants to sue, let him sue, am I still afraid that he won't succeed? A little Chinese, I can pinch him to death casually......"
Old Brooke's words came to an abrupt end at this point, and Anthony immediately changed his face and slapped the table hard: "Mr. Brooke, do you think I'm here to joke with you today? Do you remember what I said to you last time? If you don't remember, I don't mind helping you recall, I said that this matter is very complicated, even I can't handle it casually, let alone you!"
Old Brooke lowered his head and said bitterly: "But Anthony, I'm unwilling, I'm really unwilling, why do you say that he, a Chinese, can be so arrogant in Brighton? Why can't he be bullied by us like other Chinese, why does he dare to resist us?"
Anthony sighed and patted Brooke Sr. on the shoulder and said, "Brooke, my brother, I can understand your feelings, because I also like your son Brooke, and I also have the pride of being an American, and I don't want to bow my head in front of that Chinese." β
Anthony said and immediately changed his words: "But brother, everything has his way, we must be patient, at least for now, I can promise you, when the time comes, I will definitely do my best to help you deal with that Chinese, by that time, unless China and the United States go to war, the whole United States must protect him, otherwise I will help you kill him, I promise." β
Anthony concluded: "But before that, you have to restrain your emotions. β
"But as far as I know, the Chinese also organized a foundation to participate in the election. Old Brooke threw another question.
Anthony said disdainfully: "Self-righteous, do you think he can win the election?"
