Chapter Eighty-Eight: Talking
It was a separate canteen dedicated to these people, and even brought in two French chefs, one American chef, and three Italian chefs, whose job it was to "take care" of these people.
Annis sat quietly and lonely in the corner of the cafeteria, with plates in front of the table, full of buffet food, fruit, pastries, steaks, and a small amount of wine. He came early, and he seemed very conspicuous alone, but he didn't eat for long, and the number of people in the cafeteria gradually increased, these people had different eyes, hair, and skin tones, and the only thing they had in common was that they all had a "certain vigilance". When they occasionally exchanged glances with each other, they saw the same indifference and vigilance in each other's eyes.
However, not everyone is like this, for example, the black man who walked into the cafeteria now, Beamson, whistling in his mouth, came to the self-service window with the beat under his feet, and swayed his body to pick up the plate to choose food for himself, attracting the eyes of more than a dozen people in the cafeteria to look at him. Beamson didn't look the slightest unnatural, and after choosing the food, he approached Annis, whistled, and said, "Hey, man, can I sit here?" ”
There was a moment of silence -
Annis motioned for him to sit down, and Beamson put down his plate, his eyes scanning Annis's plate, "Tomatoes?" Hey man, I bet this is definitely the first tomato, look at this color, it's so red! ”
Annis's brows furrowed slightly, he didn't like to deal with black people very much, every time he went to the streets in New York, ten times he ate black, nine times he had something to do with these, they didn't even care about other people's rest time, and they dared to shoot outside his rental house in the early morning for a little drug.
After taking a few bites of the spaghetti on the plate, Beamson leaned his head towards Annis, looked around left and right, and said in a low voice, "Man, I heard that you were the first to come here, where did you mix before?" ”
Annis didn't speak, the question wouldn't be answered by anyone, and Beamson didn't care, "Okay, okay—" he said in an almost self-questioning tone, "Let me guess, well, you used to mess around in the Delta, right?" Hey, I used to have a buddy who was in the delta and was as taciturn as you was, and he said that the delta was full of fagots, and every time he took a shower, his ass hurt, and he ended up in Baghdad, oh God, just because his ass was too high, and he was shot in the ass, haha, others went home on crutches, and he went home on a stretcher. ”
Beamson smiled smugly after speaking, pointed to himself and said, "Do you know who made his butt hurt every time he took a bath?" Hehe, I'm guessing you wouldn't have imagined, that's me. ”
"Damn nigga, you've told your disgusting story a hundred times, and if you let me hear it again, I'll make your ass hurt the next time you take a shower."
A calm voice came from the side, and Laurie Boland walked over unceremoniously, put the plate on the table, and sat down on Bimson's side.
Beamson looked at Laurie and smiled maliciously, "If you'd be willing to be close to me in the shower, then I'd thank God for that old bastard." ”
"Hello! I'm Laurie Bolan" Laurie ignored Beamson's words, looked directly at Annis, and held out his right hand in greeting.
Annis hesitated, but put down her fork and reached out to shake Laurie's hand, "Hello." ”
"Your name is Anis Bridger, right? I've heard of you before. ”
"Heard of me?" Annis said curiously, "I don't remember anything amazing I did. ”
"I happened to be present in the hostage rescue incident in Libya." Laurie smiled, "Good job, brother." ”
Anis suddenly realized that it was that incident, he was still in the army at that time, because he was ordered to serve in the Middle East for half a year, in a certain American journalist was abducted by Libyan extremist military organizations, he participated in the rescue mission and played a big role, and finally succeeded in rescuing the hostages and made a great appearance.
Since it is a unit that has cooperated with each other, and in a sense it is also a comrade-in-arms, Laurie brought the relationship between the two a lot closer in a few words, and Annis was not very silent.
Beamson was a talker, and 90 percent of the words the three of them said when they sat together, and the content basically involved the passionate life of the service period, which made Annis deeply doubt whether he was really a.
"I swear, I'm a real gay, and I like men, especially men with big boobs."
Seeing that Annis doubted his identity, Beamson swore "proudly".
"He's lying." Laurie immediately exposed Beamson's lie and said unceremoniously: "He just wanted to use this method to make people like him." ”
Anis almost choked on the food in her mouth, coughed a few times and took a sip of water, looking at Beamson with a strange look in her eyes, "This method is very creative." ”
"Hey, Laurie, you're talking nonsense, would I use such a low-level method?"
Beamson immediately flexed his muscles and whistled to get everyone's attention, "Hey guys, look at my strong muscles, do you like me?" ”
There was silence, no one spoke.
In the end, Beamson had to sit down, "People here are not fun, and when I used to do this pose, everyone would run up and hug me." ”
Annis suddenly felt that the unit that this black man was in before was really terrible.
After a few more conversations, Beamson finally stopped showing off his experience, "Tell me how much your salary is?" I'll bet first, I'm definitely the highest. ”
"You're the tallest?" Laurie scoffed, "I bet you're the lowest, of course, among the three of us." ”
"No way, absolutely impossible, my salary is $900, my God, that's a wonderful number, two days' salary is worth a month's salary in the past."
The black man was very happy, and he was so satisfied with this salary, which exceeded $320,000 in a year, which was more than 100,000 yuan higher than the annual salary of a five-star general, which he could hardly imagine before.
Laurie and Annis looked at each other, and Laurie said, "It's very good, but my salary is $1,200." ”
The smile on the black man's face suddenly froze, and he looked at Laurie in disbelief, his mouth opened, and he could barely speak, "No, no, it can't be, you're $300 more than me?" You're not going to be a monthly salary, are you? ”
Laurie shook his head and took a bite of the apple, "If I'm not mistaken, it's supposed to be a salary." ”
Beamson wanted to cry without tears, shaking his head in disbelief, "How is that possible?" How can it be? Something must have gone wrong, it doesn't make sense. Muttering a few words, a glimmer of hope suddenly flashed on his face, and he looked at Annis longingly: "How much is yours?" ”
A smile appeared on Annis's face, probably the only thing that made him happy for a few days, and he was about to speak, but was stopped by Bimson: "Wait, if you are also paid the same salary as him, then don't say anything." ”
With that, he looked at Anis pleadingly, hoping that he would continue.
Annis's mouth was halfway open, and when she heard this, she closed it, picked up a piece of beef and put it in her mouth to chew.
"My God."
The black man put his head on the table weakly, "I want to complain, I have to complain, it doesn't make sense at all, why is my salary so much lower than yours?" Something must have gone wrong. ”
"By the way, you're the first to come here, have you met the boss of this company?" Laurie ignored a dejected Beamson and asked.
This is not a secret, after all, the latecomers know that he is the first to come here, but although he is very free, there is no restriction on his movements, but unfortunately, so far the owner of this company has not come forward, only the Asian, perhaps Chinese, has seen the most.
"No, I haven't." "I also find it strange that the person who recruited us gave us the address in the email and asked us to come here, but he didn't show up in person," Annis said. Also, I didn't expect so many people to come here and they were also recruited like us? ”
There was one more point that Annis did not say, and he looked closely and found that the people who had come these days, were recruited by different means than him, at least, in the hands of others, he did not find the same watch.
"Yes, according to the email that hired me, it was to ask me to come here as a security guard, and those people must have been recruited as well, and I am curious that this company may have the funds to spend a lot of money to recruit us, but it is just ......"
Laurie paused slightly, and continued, "Based on the size and surname of this company, there is no need to recruit us people, right?" It's just a pharmaceutical company. ”
Speaking of this, Annis nodded imperceptibly, what Laurie said made a lot of sense, but Annis never believed that this was just an ordinary company, and that an ordinary company would have the strength to monitor his phone? What would an average company spend so much money on hiring a special group of people? None of the more than twenty people in this cafeteria were ordinary people, and they were basically people with the same status as him, which could be seen from their respective eyes and calluses on their hands.
Therefore, the name of the so-called biopharmaceutical company is just a cover for this company.
"We should be the only ones who are hiring."
Laurie continued, "Do you see the fourth floor?" There are still many empty rooms there, which have all been sorted out this morning, and it is expected that someone will come. ”
"Really?"
Annis and Laurie tacitly knew each other, Annis had already understood, while Laurie felt that something was wrong, and it was a good thing to have someone who barely knew each other in this strange place.
