Chapter 51 Discrimination
Encountering this situation, Fang Lang was both angry and helpless, and couldn't help but be secretly ruthless in his heart, you bastards, wait for me, don't give me a chance, I will make you pay the price for this impolite behavior.
De la Torre beside him also kept looking at the group of white people. Although whites make up the largest proportion of Brazil's population, Brazilians do not have this innate sense of superiority.
Thinking about the Chinese Exclusion Act, which was only repealed in 1943, a nameless fire slowly began to rise in Fang Lang's heart. It seems that in the future, his company in the United States will have to close its doors to all white people who have a tendency to discriminate.
Fang Lang was very unhappy in this day's class, I don't know how many times he clenched his fists, and he was even more determined in his heart to make the Chinese strong. It is impossible for me to leave the United States to develop now, so I will not have the idea of giving up food because of choking.
After class, Fang Lang said goodbye to de la Torre and went directly to the headquarters of the Global Trading Company in New York. Today's global trade is no longer the dockside warehouse it used to be. Although the warehouse is still used as a shipping point for U.S. Navy crews to carry their cargo.
However, the company's office has long since moved to an office building not far from the docks. Although the area is not large, the company has a lot of staff, because now Global Trade has begun to undertake import and export orders from other customers, and began to look for various industrial equipment in the United States according to Fang Lang's requirements.
"Boss, the barrister and accountant you asked for have arrived. Brigadier General Jackson's call back has also been received, do you need to read it to you now? ”
Wan Chongxin welcomed Fang Lang into the company and reported on this morning's events. The two of them said as they walked inside the office of the company, because it was already work time, so most of the employees had already gone home from work.
In the U.S., no employee works overtime to see his boss. Leaving work on time is the norm. Only a few of the company's key management positions are still waiting at their desks.
"Oh! What Brigadier General Jackson said! ”
Fang Lang stopped and looked at Wan Chongxin beside him.
"Brigadier General Jackson has given an address, says it is John Clark's mother, and suggests that you visit her."
Wan Chongxin said as he took out a telegram from the folder in his hand and handed it to Fang Lang.
Glancing at the telegram in his hand, Fang Lang wrote down the address and returned the telegram to Wan Chongxin for safekeeping. Continue to walk towards the office area: "Help me prepare a gift for visiting the elders, and I will meet this aunt the night after tomorrow." You can help me find out in the past two days why Brigadier Jackson suggested that I visit her. ”
Fang Lang remembered that when John introduced his mother to himself, he only said that his mother was a Jew, and he didn't introduce it too much, and now it seems that John's mother should not be an ordinary housewife.
"Okay, boss." Saying that, the two of them had already walked in front of the four company managers who were still in the company.
Wan Chongxin pointed to one of the slightly lean white men in his forties and said, "This is Stan Weber, the company's financial manager, who has six years of financial experience in import and export trading companies. ”
Stan Weber looked a little restrained, rubbing the beads of sweat in his palms before holding Fang Lang's outstretched right hand:
"Hi boss, I'm Stan Webb, and it's a pleasure to work for you."
Fang Lang felt that this person was a little timid, and he didn't know if there was any psychological illness, but the current situation was not suitable for asking, so he just nodded politely to him.
Wan Chongxin pointed to a man with golden curly hair and said, "This is the company's purchasing manager, Jada Cummings, mainly looking for the goods that the company needs." ”
Jada Cummings stood up, shook hands with Fang Lang lightly and then let go, looking very casual and said, "Hello! ”
Fang Lang noticed that after he finished shaking his hand, he put his hand behind his back and moved his arm! Obviously, it was the hand that Fang Lang had shaken, and he put it behind his back to wipe it. Fang Lang nodded quietly.
Wan Chongxin obviously didn't notice this person's movements, and was about to introduce the next person, only to see that the middle-aged black-haired strong man in a suit and leather shoes took the initiative to stretch out his hands and said with a smile on his face: "Hello boss!" I'm Kosi Bilic, Head of Sales, and I'm mainly responsible for finding sellers who want to buy in the US market. ”
Fang Lang smiled, stretched out his hand and shook it with the other party, the other party's handshake was very powerful, and he would not pinch the painful hand, and the strength was very good.
The last blonde young woman also took the initiative to speak: "Hello boss, I'm Jennifer Osai from the HR department, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”
After speaking, he shook hands with Fang Lang gently.
After Fang Lang and others finished introducing, he said directly: "Hello everyone, I am your boss, it is very late today, in order not to delay everyone's rest time, everyone can go home and rest first, and remember to come to work on time tomorrow." By the way, the manager of the purchasing department will not be there tomorrow, Miss Orsay, wait for him to go through the formalities. ”
Fang Lang's words made everyone stunned, and Jada Cummings even stood up directly and shouted angrily: "What do you mean? ”
"I don't think you're a good fit to stay in my company, so I suggest you go elsewhere! If you have any grievances and questions, you can talk to the company's lawyer. ”
Fang Lang's tone was calm, he couldn't see his joy and anger, after a day of experience at school, he couldn't find an outlet! I didn't think that there was a racist in front of me in my company, so what else was there to say, just fire.
"FUCK, you yellow-skinned monkey, why are you firing me, you are ready to receive a summons from the court!"
Cummings was furious, and pointed at Fang Lang's nose with a red face and scolded!
"Really? Now I have enough reason to accuse you of racism. You're also ready to collect summonses! I'll prepare a hundred thousand dollars to fight this lawsuit with you, and by the way, I can also take you to court-martialed for insulting Confederate officers, well! Wait a minute, I'll ask the barrister in the office, and see how many years he can send you in, how can you have ten years for 100,000 yuan! One more year, I paid him an extra $10,000, and I'm sure he'll happily accept the deal! ”
After speaking, Wan Chongxin and Jennifer Osay, who looked to the side, said: "If there are racially discriminatory employees in the future, don't recruit them anymore." Miss Orsay, I hope that your HR department will make this the first criterion for recruiting employees in the future. There is zero tolerance for racial discrimination in the company, and one is directly dismissed.
This is the first one, I don't blame you, I hope you will seize the time to find out everyone in the company, and dissuade all employees who have racist tendencies from quitting. In the event of an incident of racial discrimination, all management is fined $10. Do you understand? ”
Everyone was a little hairy by Fang Lang's cold eyes, after all, Fang Lang had killed people on the battlefield, and there was a murderous aura on his body, and the people who were targeted were a little creepy, and they were all cold.
At this time, Cummings heard that Fang Lang was willing to spend 100,000 US dollars to send him to a prison cell! Looking at his cold eyes again, he wanted to say a few cruel words, but he didn't dare, so he could only snort and pant and clench his fists.
In fact, there was no charge of racial discrimination during this period, but what Fang Lang said about insulting the Allied officers really scared Cummings, and he didn't know if he had this charge, but it was a war time, and if he was really sent to a military court, he might be sent to prison.
Besides, Fang Lang is willing to spend $100,000 to send him to prison, how can you guarantee that he won't spend $100,000 to buy his life! It's free America, shooting every day.
Jennifer Orsay also reacted at this moment: "Mr. Cummings, I suggest that you go through the resignation procedures with me directly, and don't make it difficult for everyone." ”
Fang Lang, on the other hand, ignored the reactions of several people and walked directly to the conference room, while not forgetting to say to Wan Chongxin beside him: "Can't you see that he is racist?" ”
Wan Chongxin was a little overwhelmed and said: "I know, but I'm used to it, it's okay now, I've encountered more serious situations before." ”
"I didn't care what happened before, but if I was racist at my company, I wouldn't be hired, understand? Ask Jennifer Orsay tomorrow, if this ghost asks for self-departure, I can dismiss him, but if he is not interested, there are a lot of gunmen out there who can sell his life for $10,000, you know? ”
Fang Lang was very angry, could it be that after staying in the United States for a long time, he was used to discrimination, so he could tolerate it?
