Melonie picked up a piece of fried crab wedge, dipped it in the sweet and sour sauce and put it in her mouth, and after eating it, she couldn't wait to taste the tangerine peel chicken salad, Manchurian pork cutlet, and almond fried chicken on the table, and then exclaimed to Tommy Hawke in surprise:

"I thought about what business you should do with it if you really had 20,000 yuan, Tommy, you should open a Chinese fast food restaurant, these dishes are fantastic, I have eaten Chinese food in Boston, and I think that restaurant is not as delicious as yours, this is not a compliment, but a fact."

Tommy Hawke was noncommittal about Meloni's compliment.

In fact, these American-style Chinese dishes have nothing to do with real Chinese food for half a cent, fried crab corners are fried with artificial crab meat and cheese wrapped in wonton wrappers, and eaten with American-style sweet and sour sauce, tangerine peel chicken salad is lettuce, boiled chicken breast, rice noodles, peanuts plus citrus juice, vegetable oil, hot and dry mustard and pickled ginger and tangerine peel steamed, Manzhouli pork cutlet is a small piece of pork chop fried with onions, seasoned with sweet sauce, almond fried chicken is wrapped in a batter mixed with almonds, fried with spicy sauce.

In line with the tastes of the vast majority of Americans, and all their stereotypes about Chinese food, Chinese food is all stir-fried or fried.

Tommy Hawk actually has no superb cooking skills, or these dishes do not need any smart cooking skills, Chinese who have eaten a few times and know how to cook can easily copy it, because the production method is too simple, which is the main reason why more than seventy percent of Chinese restaurants in the United States will add these dishes to their own menus.

It's okay to deceive Americans who haven't eaten real Chinese food.

He picked some rice noodles from the chicken salad with a fork and put them on his plate, and he didn't care about Meloni's compliments at all, and said as he lowered his head to eat: "If you have time tomorrow, contact Hugh Spade and ask him to come and see you tomorrow, and tell him that you can pay him first if you earn a hundred yuan, hoping to get back some of the photos, and give him some time." ”

Hearing that Tommy Hawk didn't have any small talk words, he talked about Hugh Spade in a voice without any mood fluctuations, which made Meloni, who had just adjusted her mood because of food, slightly stunned, and subconsciously retracted the smile on her face: "And then?" I can't get a hundred now. ”

"Here's a hundred." Tommy Hawk took a fork in one hand and a few bills from his pocket with the other and pushed them down the table to Meloni.

Melonie glanced at the bills in front of her, all of which were in denominations of twenty or ten dollars.

"You earned it?"

"Not only do I earn this, but I still have three hundred dollars in my pocket, and one hundred and seventy Addalle and eighty sleep ketones in my bedroom." Tommy Hawk swallowed the food in his mouth, wiped his lips, and looked up at Meloni.

Meloni's brows furrowed, of course she knew that these prescription drugs were something that many young people used to entertain their parties, and although they were not listed as drugs like hemp grass, they were subject to strict drug control: "So, it's not drugs, it's drugs." ”

"No, I said, I'm not going to do anything that violates any U.S. law, I'm just going to give Mr. Hugh Spade fifty Adderral, thirty pills of Sleep Keto." Tommy said.

"Give it to him? Giving him some prescription drugs doesn't make the police arrest him, but it will be real that the police will find you on the head, and I don't agree with you doing this. Meloni decisively refused.

Tommy Hawke said: "Tomorrow when he comes to get the money, you will be in the living room to pack those drugs, tell him, you took over this job of filling drugs for me in order to make money, and describe me as a garbage student in garbage high school, not doing a good job, but there is a way to prescription drugs, he is very short of money, and when he sees those drugs, he knows that I am just a high school student, and he will definitely take those drugs away from you because of lack of money and greed, just refuse a few times, and let him take them, but you have to get back a few photos that belong to you." ”

"You know, it's the negatives that should be brought back." Melonie lowered her head and sighed, the big boy on the other side was completely out of the question, which made her wonder if she had been too hasty in believing that he could help her solve her problems in the afternoon.

"No, what you need is a photo, the negatives aren't ready to be returned." Tommy Hawke said in the affirmative tone to Meloni.

Melonie frowned slightly and looked at Tommy suspiciously, "And then?" ”

Tommy Hawk picked the rice noodles with a fork and sent them to his mouth: "Then, it's time for me, a high school student who has suffered a loss, to go to him." ”

Seeing that Melonie was about to speak, Tommy Hawke continued: "Don't worry, there won't be those fights you imagined, and if he is investigated by the police or goes to jail, will the public school have an excuse to fire him?" ”

"Yes." Melonie nodded.

"The teachers' union has a special department to listen to the problems of teachers, such as psychological counseling and legal counseling, right?"

"The unions are really going to help us."

"Tomorrow send Hugh Spader, you're going to go to the union departments for some counseling, like you're going to tell the counsellors about the trauma you've been traumatized, you've tried to come out of the shadows, but now the nightmare is coming back, and you're worried that if you continue to develop, you'll have a serious impact on your teaching career, or say goodbye to the profession you love so much."

Melonie was about to listen carefully to Tommy's arrangement, and picked up the champagne and sent it to her lips, but she almost choked on these words, and hurriedly covered her mouth with a napkin and looked at Tommy Hawk: "What are you talking about?" ”

"You have been drugged by your ex-boyfriend who is heavily dependent on drugs and has bad habits, and then he took a lot of pictures when you were unconscious, and now he is trying to get close to and control you, which makes you feel panicked, and that's the main reason why you seek counseling, and the same is true for legal counselors, you have to ask them, after many years, without evidence, can you legally force Hugh Spade to distance himself from you, but whether it is counseling or counseling, don't mention the other party's name, and use the title of ex-boyfriend instead." Tommy Hawke continues:

"You're going to go to counseling twice a week to get those people to make an impression of you, and the rest of the time, just go ahead and be your substitute teacher, and leave the rest to me until I inform you that you need to be prepared to be a witness against Hugh Spader."

"Witnesses?" Melonie paused: "I'm a witness?" Not the one who was going to sue him? ”

Tommy Hawke tasted the pork cutlet he made and shook his head slightly: "It's a little hard." ”

Then answer Meloni's question: "The identity of the witness will be more beneficial to you, there are witness protection regulations, from the moment you become a witness, it doesn't matter who owns your photos, but if he dares to leak it again, you can find a well-known lawyer to claim compensation from the court on the grounds that it is not good to protect the privacy of the witness, so the court or the state government will definitely help you recover all your photos and negatives in order to avoid being legally blackmailed by you, so that you can ensure that you don't need to fight him head-on, All you need to do is help nail the last nail the moment Hugh Spade lies down in the coffin. ”

"What the hell are you going to do, Tommy Hawk?" Melonie felt that her mind could no longer catch Tommy's train of thought in time.

Tommy Hawk swallowed the food in his mouth, ignored Meloni's question, and continued, "After sending him in, a place has become vacant at Sinclair Elementary, and you, the witness, can replace Hugh Spade as the new teacher at Sinclair Elementary. ”

"Will the school agree?" Meloni asked in disbelief, "What are you talking about, kid?" ”

"If the principal of Sinclair Elementary School isn't an idiot, he'd better agree." Tommy Hawk finished his food, picked up a cigarette and lit one, exhaled the smoke, and said in a monotonous and flat voice:

"Because he doesn't agree, he will lose the position of principal, whether to be ousted from that position, or to give you a job to continue as principal, he should understand how to make a wise choice."

Melonie felt a little chill after hearing this, I don't know why, Melonie felt that all the food was tasteless, she was now looking at Tommy Hawk with a normal face, this big boy obviously had a careful plan in mind, looking at his face, as if his troubles might be as easy for him as solving a math problem, and it was not worth any emotional reaction at all.

She seemed to hear the words of Tommy Hawk as he sat in the passenger seat on the way home:

"I want to cook a good dinner, and when I'm doing chores that don't require my brain, I'm used to freeing my head to think about complex issues."

While it's unclear what Tommy Hawke is going to do, her gut tells her that Hugh Spade is in big trouble.
