Chapter 95: Two Powder Kegs (Asking for Recommendation Votes)
Confused by rumors, Daniel is nowhere to be seen.
At noon, I planned to negotiate the price in one go, get the goods directly from the supplier, and send them to school tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, but now, the situation has become different, because it is donated by Daniel's father, although the possibility of the other party breaking the contract is relatively small, but Su Mu still plans to ask clearly in front of Daniel.
Li Ping'an knew that Su Mu was in a bad mood, so he took him to a Chinese restaurant, which was located in an alley not far from Stanford University, and had just ridden Su Mu on a bicycle. ”
"Go back and I'll ride, this smell of sweat. Su Mu was worried about eating pizza, hot dogs, and sandwiches in high school and even college, but when he learned that there was a Chinese restaurant nearby, he immediately felt much better.
The taste can only be regarded as average, make do with a meal, three dishes and one soup for a total of more than 20 dollars, not the kind of strange Chinese food that has changed the taste, the boss deliberately helped the two of them to cook alone, but unfortunately the taste is a bit heavy, so spicy that Su Mu's mouth is swollen, the boss is very enthusiastic, he should come next time, but he must let him put less chili peppers.
On the way home, he put in a coin in the phone booth, dialed Daniel, he has his own mobile phone, Su Mu knows the number, and there has been a didi di, but no one answers, and when he tries again after a while, he has been prompted to turn off.
This made Su Mu's heart sink, and he guessed that he was most likely stimulated by his classmates, so Daniel deliberately avoided himself.
He can withstand the gossip at school, but it doesn't mean that Daniel can too, that guy has no friends since he was a child, and his personality is already rather eccentric, so it's hard to guess what he will do.
Li Ping'an stood outside the phone booth and asked, "How about it, or we will go to his house?" It's going to get dark, and it may rain, so let's hurry up if we want to go." ”
After thinking for a while, Su Mu shook his head and said to him, "No need, I may see you tomorrow." ”
"What kind of friend is this, I can't see anyone when something happens, I was fine last night, I turned my face when I said it. Don't be angry, I've only known each other for more than a month, and it's okay not to play in the future. ”
When I went to Daniel's house last night, Li Ping'an rarely spoke, and he didn't get along with Daniel's temper, so he had nothing to talk about.
In fact, Su Mu and Daniel are not the same character, but he often comes to play with himself, and after a long time, he is half a friend, Su Mu nodded, and sighed: "Speaking of which, I am the one who burdens him, let's see it later, let's go, let's go back first......"
"No, accompany me to ask something first, ask the price, if the business can continue, then finish this order, don't make his father's money, just accumulate some experience." ”
Li Ping'an doesn't care, his visit to Menlo Park is like a tour, and he is all arranged by Su Mu......
On Tuesday, Daniel had not been seen all day, and Su Mu passed by his class, and there was a spot that was empty.
Yesterday it was only a small-scale spread, and today almost the whole school knows about the news that Su Mu is "Gay", many people don't even know who Su Mu is, and when chatting, they replace him with "the Chinese who just got a full scholarship", and no matter where he goes, there are people who look at him with strange eyes.
The explanations are unrealistic, and the truth that three people become tigers, the ancestor has said it very clearly.
Su Mu is too lazy to talk to these people, even if he explains, it is useless, unless he does something indescribable with a certain girl in front of the whole school to prove that he is a real man, even if he really does this, it is estimated that some people think that he is "both men and women".
The best way is to solve the problem directly from the source, as long as the girls who usually have a bad style prove that they have lied, Su Mu and Daniel can completely clear their grievances.
No matter how precocious he was, Su Mu was only a teenager now, and the feeling of being looked at with colored glasses made him extremely sad.
took the time to find those girls, and sure enough, as he expected, the other party knew that he was wronging him, but he had no idea of helping to explain at all, because once he confessed, it would prove that they had lied before, and no one wanted to do it.
This is a kind of cold violence bullying in schools, especially in the United States, whether it is a good school or a bad school, almost every school will happen, from the first grade all the way to college, may encounter such incidents, resulting in many students' personality changes, and then directly affect their lives.
A few years ago, a shooting incident occurred at Castellar Middle School, which was also caused by a student who was bullied at school and couldn't think of stealing his father's pistol and bringing it into the school to retaliate against those people, resulting in three deaths and five injuries.
In the movie, there are often pictures of students having their heads stuffed into the toilet by their classmates or locked in the toilet, as well as discrimination and ridicule, which are all true portrayals of American schools, and they happen around everyone.
Schools often help to suppress for the sake of reputation, and most of them end up in the end, and people always talk about how good education is in the United States, but never mention the problem, especially for people of color, the United States is by no means the ideal place for children to get a good education.
If Su Mu was as weak as Daniel, then he would most likely remain silent and choose to continue to endure it, being treated coldly and ridiculed by his classmates.
Is he weak? Of course not!
At the end of the holiday, in order to help Mrs. Lin ask for relief, she even sent leaflets to protest with others, and planned to go directly to the door of the Los Angeles City Hall.
This time, too, before the first class, he found the black math teacher, told him what he was facing, successfully took two classes off, and slowly came to the door of the principal's office.
In the early eighties, an ordinary stock trader in New York could get a salary of $50,000 a year, and an aircraft mechanic could earn about $40,000 a year.
Su Mu has lived in Chinatown in the slums since he was a child, and his thoughts are different from others, and the ugly thing is to say that he has mud legs that grew up in the mud of Chinatown.
Recently insulted, he calmly let it go, his reputation earned himself, and he planned to drag those female campuses and schools into the water, summing up experience from various incidents in the past, Su Mu understood that the more he covered up the explanation, the more embarrassing it was, it was better to pierce the window paper so that everyone could see it clearly.
Knocking on the wooden door of the old principal's office, I heard Batistuta say please come in, and after unscrewing the door to enter, he didn't wait for the other party to speak, and said directly: "Mr. Principal, Daniel and I are in trouble, it's not a business matter, someone actually says that we are gay, we are obviously simple friends, and our sexual orientation is normal." ”
In the stunned eyes of Principal Batistuta, he continued: "I already know who is spreading the rumors, and I feel that my spirit is greatly hurt, so I am ready to go to court to sue them. ”
"Do you know about the corruption of the Los Angeles Social Security Bureau last time? That is, I helped those poor old people get their money back, and the lawyer doesn't need your help, and I know the reporter of the Los Angeles Times, and I hope that I can finally publish a statement in the newspaper to clarify the insult I have suffered, and I can't bully me unscrupulously because I am a yellow race. ”
The words "homosexuality" and "racism" suddenly came to mind, they were the two major powder kegs in the United States in the 80s, and no company or institution wanted to get involved in scandals related to them.
Coupled with the Los Angeles Times, the largest circulation on the West Coast, the old principal's eyes suddenly went dark, and he could already imagine how big the trouble really was, big enough to bring down the reputation of Menlo Park Private High School......
