Chapter 518: Slapped in the Face [2]
Beggar?
Are there beggars in Otis City?
Du Lin was blinded for a moment, and it can be said that it is difficult to see any beggars in the development of Otis City today, and it can even be said that he has never seen any "street friends" such as beggars and homeless people. He did not follow the example of the Illians, forcing beggars and vagrants to work and not letting them go until they could afford to buy a house. There are very few ...... in the city of Otis It's almost impossible to see beggars and homeless people, and the whole city is full of places where you can make money, and if you are willing to put in some effort, you can always get a good job.
Secondly, the currency in circulation in Otis City is most of the time chips, and the smallest denomination of chips is currently fifty cents, and no well-wisher will give fifty cents to a beggar, ten or five cents is about the same. As a result, beggars and vagrants lack the soil to survive, and most of the tourists have chips in their hands, and if they get the chips, they still need to redeem them, and if they exchange more chips, or more often, it will make people feel disgusted.
So Keina said that there were beggars outside the door, and Durin still couldn't turn around, and he was a little suspicious, but he couldn't imagine that these beggars came spontaneously, and they still had a purpose. If it is spontaneous and said in the past, almost the vast majority of the upper class people gathered here tonight, and these people gave a little bit of alms enough for them to eat for half a month. If it is for a purpose...... Could it be Felica?
He thought it was unlikely, he had heard Harry say that the heirs of the Fatima family didn't walk outside very often. They are different from those small families, small families need heirs to gradually master the art of management through the management of the family's business, through the most basic practice to gradually understand what steps a thing needs to go through from birth to solution, how to allocate resources, and at the same time cultivate the quality of these heirs in all aspects, so that they do not understand nothing.
But the heirs of the Fatimid family only need cramming education and constant decision-making, and most of their time is spent reading some typical cases, learning from them to grasp the essence of these cases and the reasons that led to the results, and then deciding on the documents sent by large and small family businesses, without climbing from the ground to the clouds step by step, they are directly above the clouds.
They only need to stretch out their hands and point to a location, and the people below will take the initiative to operate, and they don't need to experience any "life" at all!
Without contact with the outside world, it would be difficult to find any enemies, but no matter what, it was necessary to ensure Felica's safety, there was no doubt about that.
"Pay attention to the surrounding situation, arrange the security guards, if these people want to do something to Felica, shoot them immediately!", in order to avoid someone to blame him, Durin quickly arranged it.
It's not impossible, there are always two or three people he has offended and are still alive, maybe someone jumps over the wall and wants to frame him in this way. Even if he can get himself out in the end, it will definitely take a lot of effort and even make a lot of compromises.
Kina nodded and hurried away, while Durin voluntarily followed the crowd and followed Feliga out the hall door.
She actually lives upstairs, but as the most important guest of the day, she also needs to do some scene work. These upper-class people had put aside anything else to attend the welcome dinner, and she was sure to send them off at the door.
When Feliga walked out of the door, she immediately saw the beggars outside the door, and there were only four of them. They stood unkempt on the side of the road outside the hotel gate, shivering, and the weather was getting colder and colder in the depths of winter, and they were wearing only light clothes. The city of Otis is very windy, because there are no dense high-rise buildings around, and the wind blowing from the wilderness will pass through the streets and go out from the other side of the city, causing the whole city to cool down quickly.
These beggars held signs with slogans written on them, nothing more than begging passers-by to give them a little change to fill their stomachs. They knelt humbly on the pavement outside the hotel, looking pitifully at the distinguished guests who walked out of the splendid hotel.
Feliga only paused and walked over, and Harry stopped him, but he didn't.
"We can't ignore that just because we are well-dressed and well-fed, there are still many people in the world who have not solved even the most basic problems of food and clothing. It may seem like a humble act of kindness to us, but for them it may be a blessing that can save their lives. It's cold, and they should have some clothes. Feliga smiled and nodded at Harry, then walked down the steps with her skirt in hand.
Many guests praised Ms. Feliga's benevolence, her beautiful heart like an angel, and her kindness to beggars.
When Feliga walked up to the beggars, they were all on their knees, holding their broken vessels and begging. Felica patted her skirt, there were no pockets on it, and she looked at Vitol beside her apologetically, "I didn't bring any money, did you bring it?" Give these poor people some money so that they can survive this winter." ”
Harry's hand was already in his pocket, and he already held a roll of money in his palm, but he noticed a casual look from Felica, and took it out again. The surrounding guests made similar moves, and after Princess Feliga distributed the money to these beggars, they naturally had to show that they were also true, kind and beautiful elites, and had enough love for such a poor and vulnerable group.
But the next scene made some people's faces change.
Vitor also touched his pocket and shook his head expressionlessly, "I'm so sorry, miss, I didn't bring any money either." However, I've heard that chips can be used as currency in Otis City, and they can also be exchanged for cash. ”
"Is that so?", Felica looked at Harry, who nodded subconsciously before realizing that something was going to be wrong.
Durin also frowned and squeezed forward, but his speed was too slow, or Felica and Vitol had too much tacit understanding, the moment Harry nodded, Felica withdrew her gaze, and at the same time she ordered Vitor to take out the golden chip that Harry gave her at the dinner, the pure gold chip with the number one, the denomination of a thousand, and weighing more than a pound was taken out. Then, in the dead silence, under the gaze of many eyes, she placed the chips of extraordinary significance in a beggar's small basin.
"This is a bargaining chip given to me by Governor Harry, the denomination is a thousand dollars, you can go buy some clothes and find a better place to spend this winter!", the smile on Feliga's face was bright as if it could emit light, and even the cold air seemed to be ignited by her smile and became warm.
Several beggars trembled with excitement, trembling and prostrate on the ground, calling Her Royal Highness the Princess. They could not believe that such a good thing could happen to them, and in the evening, before it was completely dark, someone found them, told them to wait outside the most luxurious Alexandria Hotel in the city of Otis, that something good would happen, and paid them ten dollars. They came here in disbelief, thinking that it would not be a loss if they had ten yuan anyway, but who would have thought that so much money would fall on them?
A thousand chips, that's a thousand chips!
In the next second, Harry's face was very ugly, and Durin became much calmer.
This world is full of Chiguoguo's malice, you don't want to have anything to do with certain people, but these people are trying their best to make enemies of you!
The guests of Otis City did not look good, and they all took their leave, and as "locals" they were actually humiliated in this farce. They showed their greatest sincerity to respect this young lady of the Fatimid family, but in exchange for such an ending, it really made people feel a little indescribable.
It's like...... They are like those beggars, and Miss Feliga doesn't need to take care of their thoughts at all!
The crowd quickly dispersed, and Harry squeezed out an ugly smile on his face, "It's not early, it's very cold outside, you better rest early, I won't bother ......", after saying that, he nodded in greeting, turned around and walked directly towards the parking lot, at the door of the lively hotel, Felica, Vitor and Durin were left in a short time, as well as some security guards and waiters.
Looking at the four beggars who had disappeared into the night, Feliga turned back to Durin and asked with a smile, "Before I came, I was told that this is the city of happiness, and everyone in the city is happy, but it doesn't seem to be that way now. Look, there are some unhappy people!", she chuckled and saluted before passing past Durin, Vetor keeping his head down, but the curvature of his mouth could be seen.
There is no doubt that today's scene was very successful, not only slapping Durin in the face, but also making it impossible for anyone to find a reason to accuse them. It's not about embarrassing or attacking anyone with something, it's a manifestation of love and kindness, and no one can accuse love and kindness of being wrong, so the only person who is naturally wrong is Durin.
With Harry.
Durin stood in the wind and lit a cigarette with his hands covered, and after three minutes he ran back with his head shrunk in his trench coat, and he patted his pocket, and the stiff and falling lines of his clothes indicated that there was something heavy in it.
"Got it back?", Durin asked, tilting his head.
"Get it back!"
"What about people?"
"Sent away!"
Durin put his arm around Dover's shoulders and walked towards the hotel door, "Winter is coming......
