030 A slap in the face

Walking into the olive garden, it's not the peak time for dinner, and the restaurant is filled with just three tables of guests, and the waiters are scattered around the restaurant, looking very relaxed - a rare time of day when they can openly laze and be in a daze.

Fred saw Lu Li walking into the restaurant at a glance, and a big smile appeared on his face, "Hey, Fourteen! You're back!" But before his voice was raised, he realized that he was too loud, and hurriedly walked to Lu Li's side, hooked his shoulders and walked towards the stairwell behind, and the other waiter companions turned on the group taunting skill, "Fourteen, Fred has missed you for a long, long time." It made everyone laugh.

"Tell me, where the hell did you go for spring break?" Fred asked, "Did you go to Las Vegas to get married secretly?"

If according to the plan, Lu Li should stay in New York to work during spring break, in addition to the olive garden, he also found another part-time job, but because of a series of accidents, all the jobs were in vain, and Lu Li left New York directly.

Facing Fred's ridicule, Lu Li couldn't help laughing, "So you think I'm so stupid? I eloped and came back to New York? Of course I should go away and fly away!"

"That's not for sure. Maybe you've been abandoned by your bride?" Fred looked at Lu Li with disdain.

Lu Li didn't buy it at all, and went back directly, "Get out, even if you want to abandon her, then I will abandon her." ”

"Lu!" An angry reprimand interrupted Lu Li and Fred's conversation, and he didn't need to turn his head to tell that the voice was from Al, "It's already unforgivable to be absent from work for a week without reason! Not to mention that you suddenly broke your promise at the last moment, resulting in a serious shortage of our overtime staff! This is an unforgivable mistake for the restaurant!"

Fred's face couldn't help but change slightly, and he wanted to refute two sentences when he opened his mouth, but Al, as the manager on duty, did not have much power, but it was enough to deduct the tips of the waiters, which was equivalent to holding the economic lifeblood of the waiters. Even Fred, he had to think twice.

After only half a second of hesitation, Al pointed the finger at Fred, "And you, Fred, blatant release during work hours! It seems that the discipline management in the restaurant has been too easy lately......"

Lu Li can't continue to listen anymore, if Al is really disciplined, then forget it, everyone knows, Al just hid in the back warehouse and smoked, usually unless it was the peak period, he was basically a dragon without a tail, everyone was behind his back, he must be hiding in a corner to masturbate;

"I don't know, without me, there will be a serious shortage of overtime personnel? I don't know, when the rest of a cigarette during work hours will start to become illegal?" Lu Li walked past Fred and walked towards Al.

Fredere pulled Lu Li's shoulders and tried to dissuade him, everyone in the restaurant knew that Lu Li was in a difficult situation, and he completely relied on his own hands to earn his tuition and living expenses, so Fred always gave Lu Li some help within his ability. Now, Fred didn't want Lu Li to offend Al further because of himself, and he would probably lose his job.

However, Lu Li knew that if he didn't stop Al, then Al would definitely have to deduct Fred's tip in the next step, "I don't know, when did the olive garden become a place of discipline, and when did you start to become a discipline captain? You are the foreman manager, but you don't own this restaurant, don't always 'our restaurant', 'our restaurant', this is not your restaurant." ”

Olive Garden is an Italian restaurant, and the laziness of discipline is one of their style labels. Every time Al takes chicken feathers as an arrow, it is always annoying, but Al is very cunning, and the percentage of tips deducted will not exceed the tolerance range, and a part will be distributed to other managers on duty, so everyone also turns a blind eye.

Lu Li has always wanted to teach Al a good lesson, and today he finally seized the opportunity.

"Lu, you're crazy!" Al was so angry that his body began to tremble, he had worked in the olive garden for six years, for six whole years, and no one had ever dared to speak to him like this, even when he was still sitting in the waiter at the beginning, his angry eyes couldn't help but start to be bloodshot, "You shameless Chinese/country/guy, you are just a waiter serving dishes here, I didn't let you wash the dishes in the back kitchen, I am already very kind to you! You are a temporary worker, life and death of the ants in my hands!" You know what? I'm going to torture you now, even to fire you, and make sure that no one will object! Let me tell you, for you, this is my restaurant, and I am your king!

Al's expression began to distort a little, and he didn't retreat, trying to hit Lu Li with his head, but because of the height difference, he was a head shorter than Lu Li, which made his momentum look more and more weird.

A hideous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he was abusing the poor little animal, waiting for the poor creature to kneel and beg for old age, "Tell you, if you get down on your knees and beg for mercy now, I may let you go and let you continue to work here to make money." But if you don't want to......" Al snorted, "I'll sue you for stealing!

"Al!" Fred finally couldn't take it anymore and rushed straight up, trying to stop him. "You know Fourteen didn't steal, you're making false accusations!" However, Lu Li was not in a hurry, he wanted Al to continue talking and see where this guy's bottom line was.

"Haha. Al threw his head back and laughed, "Fred, how naïve you are! I said Lu stole something, he stole it, my wallet was found in his closet, and everyone stolen it! Even if there is no evidence, I can fabricate evidence! This is the United States, he is just a helpless international student, I want to rectify him, there are countless ways!"

Al turned his head to look at Lu Li, his eyes reddened slightly, "You say, if the police investigate and convict you, will your visa be cancelled? Go back directly! Then it is estimated that your precious and valuable New York University diploma will not be available at that time." Al laughed again, that eerie grin creepy, "So, you still have a chance." Tick, tick, time waits for no one!"

Al also raised his right hand and tapped his wrist to signal that the clock was ticking.

Fred looked at Lu Li anxiously, in a hurry, he couldn't think of a solution for a while, did he really want Lu Li to kneel down and apologize? Now it is not only a matter of work, but even a visa issue, so Lu Li's efforts in New York for four years will be in vain.

Lu Li not only did not retreat, but also leaned forward, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he was ...... "You don't think you're here with one hand, are you?" the other managers on duty won't let you do that, at least, Nickson won't let you mess around. ”

Nickerson is the most senior of the shift managers, and he has a very good relationship with Al. But usually, in order to maintain the harmony of the restaurant, Nickson always stands up and says good things and plays the role of a white face, so there is basically no conflict between Nickson and the waiter.

"Naive, I said you were too naïve, you still don't believe it. "How old are you now, twenty-one, you don't know how this society works! Let me tell you, I usually catch you for discipline and deduct your tips, do you think I have all those tips stolen by me? I'm not so stupid, Nexon can take half of it! Therefore, he always turns a blind eye to my behavior. Don't talk about Nexon, Wood, Will, it's all like that! You're a rat in an urn now, and you can't escape!"

"I see. Lu Li suddenly realized and sighed, which made Al look up and laugh again, very proud.

But at this moment, Al saw Lu Li's right hand taken out from behind his back, and raised the mobile phone in his hand, which showed that he was recording, and the red curve that fluctuated according to the voice was so sharp and direct. So, Lu Li recorded everything just now?

Realizing this, Al's face was like an overturned palette, from red to green, then purple, black, and finally gray, as if he had been smeared with plaster, without any blood, and even the last shred of life under his eyes was removed.

Al subconsciously tried to snatch the mobile phone in Lu Li's hand, but Lu Li had already prepared, took a big step forward, and knocked Al out fiercely. Al was moving forward, but he was hit by the momentum, and he didn't have time to react, and the whole person's center of gravity fell backwards, and he flew out directly, rolling on the ground like a gourd, embarrassed.

Fortunately, after the stairwell went out, there was a passage, the passage from the kitchen to the dining room, so Al's embarrassment did not break the silence of the dining room, but the other waiters standing at the exit of the passage saw the chaos and turned their heads one after another. When they saw El's disheveled and embarrassed appearance, everyone held back their laughter and struggled.

Lu Li walked over slowly, looking condescendingly at the ashen Al, and he could even see the pale lips trembling slightly, because Al knew better than anyone what he would face if this recording was released. Not only that, but Nickson, Wood, Will and others will not let him go easily, and what's worse is that if other restaurants hear the news, he is likely to be listed as a rejection target.

This means that his career as a restaurant manager in New York is likely to come to an abrupt end.

The corners of Lu Li's mouth drew a smile, "Al, so what will you do now?" Tick, tick, time waits for no one." “
