Chapter 549: A Restless Holiday

After Christmas, it's the New Year. These two consecutive festivals made Hannah very happy, and the two little ones who didn't know anything were babbling and laughing all day long.

Two little dolls sit in a stroller pushed by Jessica with pacifiers in their mouths. Hannah sits in a shopping cart pushed by Link, and the family is shopping at the Fox supermarket.

The cart was already full of stuff, all some zero-hour snacks and stuff like that.

This supermarket is, of course, the supermarket of Lin's Retail. Otherwise, no one would have opened such a large supermarket in a small town with a population of more than 10,000 people like Fox, which would obviously lose money.

The big supermarket is in the new city, and the goods are as complete as the supermarket in the big city.

Although the population is small, there is only one such supermarket, and most of the citizens choose to shop here. So it's not a bloodless business.

Shopping convenience is also an indicator of livability, so Link doesn't think that this supermarket may really lose money if it is open. He also wanted to develop the second phase of the new town, or he wouldn't have built a new hospital in Fork. Without such a supermarket, the Fox occupancy index would have dropped by a large margin. It will be more difficult to attract new residents.

Maybe it's because the New Year is coming, most families are shopping in large quantities, and there is a lot of traffic in supermarkets. And Fox's people are probably the residents of the nation who know most about Link. They would greet the Link family with a smile and nod when they saw it from afar.

"Let's buy some almonds? There doesn't seem to be much left at home. ”

Link was about to nod his head when Hannah turned back to him and said, "Daddy, you want to buy it, you want to buy it, you like to eat it, you like to eat it, you like to eat it, you like to eat it too." ”

He smiled and took two cans and looked at the labels. He buys food in the supermarket and only buys those that are marked as non-GMO. Preferably green.

Although he has a lot of land, he can't plant everything. For example, these nuts are purchased at home. But it usually comes directly from outside. This time it was just a rare time for the family to enjoy shopping.

He put the jar on the full cart and said, "Of course!"

Hannah blinked and said, "Can you buy three more cans?

Link chuckled and took three more cans. That's a two-pound pack, which isn't a lot.

Hannah smiled as she held one of the cans in her arms. This jar is hers!

Link said, "Alright, let's go buy Hannah nice little buckskin boots." ”

Hannah cried out, "And for Catelyn and Evan!"

"Okay, okay, buy them all!" Link pushed her to line up for checkout.

Evan suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at Hannah, "Ahh Jessica immediately took a jar of almonds from the shopping cart and hugged him: "You little guy, you want everything!"

Evan hugged the almond and stopped screaming.

Link smiled, his son was the most active and domineering of the three children, as long as he liked something, others had it, and he had it too. If not, you have to have your own if you rob others.

But that's not too bad, as long as there is the same thing, he won't let others have it.

The family of five had just walked out of the supermarket after checking out the bill, and suddenly a group of people, both men and women, ran towards them.

Link turned the cart around, and the man stood in front of Jessica.

And Tiger, who was following behind, saw that they reacted quickly enough to block Link before those people rushed in front of Link.

They put their hands on the handles of their guns but did not pull them out. Because they can see that those people are journalists.

Some of them were holding cameras and some were holding mobile phones. The bodyguards just kept an eye on everyone, fearing that there was a killer mixed in.

And the security guard outside the door also noticed the situation here.

These security guards, all Fox residents, saw that the Link family was surrounded, and thought they were in trouble, and rushed over to help the security guards keep the reporter out.

The reporters were stopped by the momentum of these bodyguards, but they couldn't suppress their determination to interview: "Mr. Hans, can you say a word about the Hans Foundation's accusation of discrimination against black people?"

"Mr. Hans, do you think black America is a cancer?"

"Mr. Hans......"

"Mr. Hans......"

Link was almost stunned by their questions. He didn't know when the Hans Foundation was charged.

He raised his hand, and all the reporters stopped waiting for him to speak.

Link said, "You're going to scare the kids like that. Let them out first!" he turned back and told Tiger to escort Jessica and the child into the car first, so as not to frighten the children.

After Jessica and the others were surrounded by reporters, he asked reporters: "Can anyone tell me who sued the Hans Foundation?"

He had barely finished speaking when the phone rang. He looked at his phone, and it was Morris calling. He frowned, it seemed that something had happened to the Hans Fund. It's just that Morris's reaction was even slower than that of reporters, which is a bit unreasonable.

He motioned for reporters to be quiet. He answered the phone.

Morris said on the phone: "Boss, a black woman who was quitting her lease from a cheap apartment in Chicago claimed to the media that we were discriminating against black people by choosing a noodle shop to start a business and choosing to re-enter the workforce, and that we were evicting her family for no reason because of discrimination against black people. ”

Link frowned and said, "What's the truth?"

The truth is, they took two entrepreneurship tests, but she got a maximum score of 36, and Chicago found that the family had repeatedly violated the rules of low-rent apartments by taking her relatives to live in the apartment. The administrator received a report that her relatives were smoking large [12] hemp in the apartment and peddling it to others. After the low-rent apartment in Chicago was verified, the decision to quit the rent was made for the family. ”

"Is there any evidence to leave a bottom line?"

"I just found out about this when I was stopped by reporters for an interview, and I have already learned about the situation with the management of the Chicago low-cost apartment, and we have enough evidence, including the notice of quitting the rent signed by all the residents' representatives, their evaluation answers, and videos. ”

Link said, "What did you do with it?"

"I've asked the Chicago side to hold a press conference as soon as possible to clarify this matter. I am ready to immediately start defending my rights in the name of a low-rent apartment and sue the woman for defamation.

"You're doing a great job. However, the Hans Foundation will immediately investigate each low-rent apartment to see if there is any racial discrimination, and if so, if it is a resident, immediately quit the rent, and if it is a manager, all will be dismissed. ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it!" Morris was also very annoyed by this incident, and someone had an accident during the New Year's holiday, so that he could not rest in peace.

After putting down the phone, he told reporters: "This is my answer to your question! I will not tolerate any racist behavior." ”

"Mr. Hans, what do you have to say about Vera Anthony's accusations against the Hans Fund?"

Link said to one of the bodyguards who stayed around, "Record every word I say." ”

The bodyguard immediately took out his mobile phone and turned on the video to supply energy.

Link then said to the reporter, "Mr. Reporter, I can answer your question. First of all, I ask you to remind all the media that are going to reprint what I am going to say next: do not take it out of context and do not deliberately distort it. I hereby solemnly warn that if there is any media or individual who deliberately distorts what I say and disseminates it, then please wait for my lawyer's letter!"

He said the warning before officially answering the reporter's question: "I am very angry about the accusation against that black woman! I'm not sure if there is really racism in low-rent apartments. However, I have strictly ordered the management of Hans Fund to conduct an investigation. Because I'm really worried that there are individual apartment residents or managers who are hidden white supremacists. However, as far as I know, more than half of the management of low-rent apartments in Chicago is black. ”

"As for people saying I'm a racist because of this, look around me, I have white friends, I have black friends. We do business together. Yes, the Tricolor Grass Restaurant represents the three different skin tones of me and two other good friends. And my company also has a lot of black employees. I'm not sure if there is racial discrimination in low-cost apartments, because most of the low-cost apartments are predominantly white, both in terms of residents and management. In all the rules and regulations of low-rent apartments, there is not a single word that is made for skin color. Now the de facto manager of the Hans Fund, I think you should remember his name: Maurice Clare. He, too, is a black man. ”

"That also proves that if there is really racial discrimination in low-rent apartments, it can only be an individual's behavior. I will not tolerate that kind of behavior. Whether it is the oppression of whites by other races, or the discrimination of whites against other races. If we find it, we will take action immediately. ”

"What I say, I have left evidence. Again, journalists. I need to remind my colleagues who reprinted your report not to take my words out of context or deliberately distort them. Otherwise, I have time to play with them. Okay, that's all I can say, but for now, my kids are still waiting for me. ”

At this time, the people gathered outside were only reporters, and there were also Fox residents who gathered around, of course, most of them came out of low-rent apartments to work for the two factories.

There were a lot of blacks among them. As Link's bodyguards and supermarket guards crowded out, the blacks applauded first, and someone shouted at Link, "Mr. Hans, we have your back." We know you don't discriminate against black people. ”

The black man who shouted at the reporters said, "See? My skin, it's black! I swear that my family and I are not discriminated against in any way in a low-rent apartment." They gave us a nice place to stay and gave my parents and children free medical treatment. They even saved the life of my youngest child. ”

The more he spoke, the more angry he became: "Although I also wanted to open a noodle shop, I just failed the assessment. That proves that I don't have the management ability to start a business yet. My two friends, who were lucky enough to pass the assessment, are also black. They also have low management scores, but they have higher scores in other areas, so they get the opportunity to start their own business. But they ultimately failed. Now, like us, they have got jobs through low-cost apartment opportunities. My family and I now even own our own home in Fox. It was bought at 60% of the market price. We just have to work hard and don't even have to pay interest from the bank to have ownership of the house. ”

"Low-rent apartments also evict white families who do not comply with the condominium system, or whose misconduct seriously affects other residents. The proportion of whites and blacks who took the entrepreneurship assessment but did not get a chance to start a business was very similar. I swear by the color of my skin and that of my parents and my children that there is no discrimination against blacks in low-rent apartments!
