Chapter 10 Racial Discrimination
The family hurriedly went out again and got into the car, and Li Chenghua started the car and drove to the nearest community hospital. Pregnant woman Qin Wanyu was arranged to sit in the passenger seat, Pei Pei and her younger brother Li Peizhi were held in the arms of their grandparents and sat in the back row, Li Peizhi pinched the car in his hand and played for a while, he was about to climb to the front seat, shouting for Mommy to hug, Li Zhou Fangmei hurriedly stopped and educated the little guy: "Xiaozhi, don't make trouble with your mommy now, didn't you clamore to be a brother before, you are obedient, let your mommy give you a younger brother, and you can take your little brother to play with the car in the future." β
When the little guy heard this, he smiled happily, "Then I want to be a general, and my younger brother will be a small soldier for me in the future, grandma, when will my younger brother come out?" β
Pei Pei pursed her lips and "cut", "Just your three inches, and you are still a general,"
Li Peizhi blinked, turned his head ignorantly and asked his grandfather, "What is a three-inch ding?" Is it OK to eat? β
The family laughed, and Pei Pei looked at her brother in embarrassment, silent.
It took about five or six minutes to drive and you arrived at the community hospital, which was not big, but only two floors. The car was parked in the parking space at the entrance, and the family happily walked into the hospital.
At this time, it was almost evening, and there were not many patients in the empty hospital looking at them, but the layout was very warm. Li Zhoufangmei accompanied her daughter-in-law to find a sofa to sit down in the reception area, Li Yigang took the two little ghosts and sat down next to his wife, picked up the impurities in front of the coffee table and looked at it, Li Peizhi just sat down for a while, then jumped off the sofa and pulled his sister to squat on the ground and play with the car.
Li Chenghua walked directly to the front of the service desk and asked about registration. There was a white female nurse sitting in front of the service desk, chatting softly with the microphone, chuckling from time to time, Li Chenghua knocked on the glass, and the female nurse raised her eyes to see that she was a yellow person.
"Wait a minute, dear!" The female nurse whispered into the microphone, didn't hang up the phone, and didn't wait for Li Chenghua to ask, then said, "Does Mr. have an appointment?" β
"I didn't have time to make an appointment, my wife may be pregnant, and she wants to do the next test, please help me register with the obstetrics and gynecology department." Li Chenghua replied.
The white female nurse looked down at a booklet in front of her, and after a few seconds, she looked up and said to Li Chenghua: "Sir, if you don't have an appointment, you can make an appointment now, and you will be in line in an hour." After speaking, he took the chapter form and handed it to Li Chenghua, and pointed to the pen inserted on the table.
Li Chenghua looked around, there were only a few people in the hospital, so he discussed with the female nurse: "Miss nurse, you see that there are not many patients now, besides, I have just come to the United States not long ago, and I just moved into the community here, I don't know that the hospital here needs to make an appointment, can you be accommodating and help my wife arrange a doctor to do the test first?" β
"No! We are a private hospital, and according to our hospital's regulations, we only accept registration by appointment, and those who do not have an appointment will wait in line, unless there is an accident or emergency. The white female nurse replied indifferently. Then he didn't look at Li Chenghua, and continued to chat with the microphone.
"Miss Nurse, can you help me go in and ask Doctor Sheng, tell me about my situation here, maybe the doctor is free now?" Li Chenghua continued to ask.
The white nurse rolled her eyes, ignored Li Chenghua, and continued to "dear" into the microphone
"Miss Nurse, Miss Nurse" Li Chenghua was not discouraged.
"The doctor is not available now, sir, I have told you the rules here, either keep waiting or leave!" The white female nurse pushed the form on the table and replied in an extremely impatient tone. Maybe her voice was too loud, and the female nurse explained to the person on the other end of the microphone: "There is no appointment, a yellow person, bring his wife to take a pregnancy test, and the yellow person is quite capable of giving birth!" The tone was contemptuous.
Hearing the three words of the yellow race, Li Chenghua was furious! He slapped the service desk hard: "Call your dean out, what kind of attitude do you have, I want to accuse you of racial discrimination!" β
Finding the dispute at the service desk, Li Yigang and Li Zhoufangmei stepped forward and asked their son, "Ah Hua, what's going on?" β
Li Chenghua angrily told what had happened, and after speaking, he took out his mobile phone and called the lawyer. After listening to what happened, Li Zhoufangmei felt that she had just arrived in the United States, and there was no need to contact a lawyer because of such a matter, and wanted to stop her son, but Li Yigang, the head of the family, disagreed.
"In the woman's opinion, you don't care about this matter, son, you should contact the lawyer immediately, you can't pretend to be deaf and dumb in this kind of matter. Especially if we still have to live in this area, you are weak, and these old beauties are bullying you. Li Yigang supported his son, Li Zhoufangmei was silent and sat back beside his daughter-in-law.
Qin Wanyu softly comforted her mother-in-law and said, "Mommy, our woman's family will leave this matter to our family, and leave it to Ah Hua to deal with." β
Over there, Li Chenghua had already dialed the phone number of his personal lawyer, Ranson Doon. After being introduced to Robert Carter, Ranson Doon was very satisfied with Li Chenghua's purchase of real estate and the establishment of the company, and hired Ranson to become the family's personal lawyer with an annual salary of 120,000 US dollars.
The phone was connected, and Li Chenghua quickly told Lan Sen about the cause and process of the incident, and Lan Sen said that he would arrive in half an hour.
The white female nurse listened to Li Chenghua's conversation with the lawyer, her expression was already panicked, and she quickly hung up the phone and walked towards the dean's office in the middle of the room.
After a while, a white doctor in a white lab coat who looked to be in his early forties left the office, and the white female nurse followed him towards the service desk. Walked up to Li Yigang, took out the business card holder from his pocket, took out a business card and handed it politely, "Hello, sir, I am Ron Sacheri, the director of this private hospital, what happened just now?" My nurse explained to me that there was a misunderstanding with you, and I wanted to know more about it. β
Li Yigang is a wealthy man in Hong Kong, and he often used English to deal with foreign trade business with gringos before, and seeing that the white doctor's words were quite polite, he used standard London English to explain what had just happened in detail, especially emphasizing that the white female nurse's remarks were obviously racist, saying that her family had been insulted by YanzhΓ²ng.
Li Chenghua also hung up the phone at this time, and when he saw the situation here, he stepped forward and said to his father in Chinese: "Daddy, the lawyer is on the way here now, and he will arrive in about half an hour." You don't have to say anything to them, you can leave it to a lawyer to settle it. β
Ron Satcheri saw Li Chenghua coming, took out a business card and handed it over, and after introducing himself, he said to Li Chenghua: "This gentleman, do you see if there is some misunderstanding, we can sit down and solve such a matter well, and the lawyer doesn't need it." β
