Chapter 590: You are being sentimental
The place where the incident happened was indeed the Chaozhou hotel.
By the time Li Ye and the others arrived, many people had already gathered to watch the fun. If it weren't for the fact that this was the Lighthouse, Li Ye, Wen Leyu, and the others wouldn't have been able to squeeze to the front.
Lighthouse people don't like to "watch the fun," because in this country where every family has a biubiu, no one knows whether the person watching the fun will become someone else's fun the next moment.
Li Ye saw that Xia Zhemin and Kadir were both controlled by the police. The two had clearly had a conflict just now.
One of Xia Zhemin's eyes was bruised, there was blood on the corner of his mouth that hadn't been wiped clean, and his clothes were stained with dust, looking slightly embarrassed.
That Kadir had no obvious injuries on his body, but he was pointing at Xia Zhemin while shouting at the police, feeling as if he had suffered a huge loss.
Li Ye had very rich fighting experience, and no matter how he looked at it, it didn't seem right, so he asked Sister Zhen and Jiao Yaqiang: "Didn't you say Xia Zhemin has three or four hundred pounds of force in his punch? Why do I feel like he seems to have suffered a loss?"
"I don't know either..."
Jiao Yaqiang said awkwardly, as if he had some unspeakable secret.
It was an old overseas Chinese watching the fun who explained with a smile: "One dares to hit and one dares to take it, not fighting back but only taking the hit, how can he not suffer a loss?"
"Why not fight back?"
"Heh, he didn't fight back, and the police came! If he had fought back, would that be okay?"
"..."
Li Ye couldn't speak.
It turns out that when they were at school, Old Jiao and Sister Zhen were worried that Xia Zhemin would hit him, but now they weren't worried about Xia Zhemin hitting Kadir, because he didn't dare to hit him at all.
Li Ye couldn't speak, but Brother Jin, who was guarding Li Ye, smiled and took out a cigarette, handing one to the old overseas Chinese.
"Uncle, you saw it just now? What's the situation?"
"Hey, fighting for jealousy! That white boy just arrived at the hotel and found that his former girlfriend had a new love..."
"Although it's said that we Chinese men can't stand this kind of thing, it's actually not strange in the Lighthouse. Sigh, the younger generation now is really cowardly. When we first came here back then, we dared to fight and struggle. The barefooted are not afraid of those wearing shoes..."
The old overseas Chinese seemed to recall the years back then and chatted with Brother Jin for several cigarettes, which also made Li Ye and the others understand the course of events.
That scumbag Kadir was really not a thing. He only allowed himself to be a scumbag, not others. Seeing Ruan Shujun follow Xia Zhemin, he was so angry that he did it directly.
And Xia Zhemin, this amateur boxing athlete, seemed to have grasped the essence of "mutual fighting punishment" in the Great Heavenly Dynasty of later generations, dealing with changes with constancy, saying that maybe taking a punch could be exchanged for a few dollars.
But unfortunately, this is not the Great Heavenly Dynasty, but the Lighthouse.
After questioning the two for a few minutes, the police patted their butts and left, without managing anything.
Kadir cursed a few times and left too, nothing happened.
Xia Zhemin gritted his teeth, lowered his head, and squeezed through the crowd to leave.
Only Ruan Shujun, who was hiding on the side, was left in place, wanting to cry but having no tears, her face dull.
After a long time, Ruan Shujun turned her head stiffly and looked at Zhen Rongrong, Sister Zhen, and the others on Li Ye's side.
A look of resentment flashed in her eyes, and then she lowered her head and walked toward the entrance of Chinatown.
Gone, the meal ticket she had worked so hard to hook up with had flown away.
She needed to find the next meal ticket.
When she walked to the Cao family restaurant, she suddenly stopped.
Because today is the Spring Festival, there was an incense table at the entrance of the Cao family restaurant, as if they were worshiping gods.
Cao Yuanmao and Chen Juming were both there, and all the waiters and chefs in the restaurant were also kneeling and praying behind the two.
Li Ye also saw Lin Qiuyan, a former atheist, who was also worshiping in a decent manner.
And when Cao Yuanmao and the others finished worshiping the gods and stood up, Li Ye suddenly looked at someone in surprise.
He turned his head and shouted: "Xiaoyu, monitor, you guys look at that waiter, that tall male waiter..."
Wen Leyu and Zhen Rongrong were both stunned and squinted to look over.
Because it was night, the two didn't see clearly at first, but when the other party walked to the light at the entrance of the restaurant, the two exclaimed in unison.
"Lu Gang, how could he be here?"
Zhen Rongrong and Wen Leyu both knew Lu Gang, because Lu Gang had exchanged blows with Li Ye at the debate, and later caused the incident of being expelled from school, so the impression was very deep.
Li Ye also squinted his eyes and said lightly: "That goes without saying, he came by walking the line!"
Zhen Rongrong asked strangely: "What walking the line?"
Li Ye explained: "It's smuggling. He committed a crime in the mainland and was wanted. I didn't expect him to come to the Lighthouse by boat."
"..."
Zhen Rongrong was stunned for a while, then muttered: "So the black labor Cao Yuanmao mentioned was him. It was him who snatched Ruan Shujun's job..."
Thinking about it, it makes sense. Lu Gang was hiding in the country and had just smuggled over. He must be anxious to settle down. The restaurant provides food and housing. He might not even need two dollars and fifty cents; he would do it for two dollars an hour.
"Happy New Year! Boss Cao, Chen Nushi, congratulations on getting rich..."
Seeing Cao Yuanmao and Chen Juming finish worshiping the gods, Ruan Shujun suddenly walked over, first smiling to wish them a Happy New Year, congratulations on getting rich, and then seemed to talk about wanting to work in the restaurant again.
Cao Yuanmao shook his head and refused Ruan Shujun, but his eyes flickered, and he didn't drive Ruan Shujun away immediately.
Chen Juming, with her big belly, was very kind and explained slowly to Ruan Shujun that the restaurant was not short of people for the time being, and if they were short of people, they would notify her first.
Ruan Shujun couldn't hide the disappointment in her eyes, but she still agreed with a full face of smiles.
However, just when she was about to leave, another change occurred.
Lin Qiuyan, who had been standing beside Chen Juming, suddenly strode to Li Ye.
"Do you have anything to do?"
"..."
Li Ye was stunned for a moment and asked back: "Are you asking me?"
Lin Qiuyan said coldly: "Of course I'm asking you. What were you looking at just now?"
Li Ye frowned, realizing that when he looked at Lu Gang just now, he was misunderstood as staring at Lin Qiuyan.
But is it illegal to look at you? It's not like you're not wearing clothes.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Lin, I wasn't looking at you, because you are not beautiful enough to attract me, so you are being sentimental."
"..."
Lin Qiuyan looked at Li Ye in shock, too angry to speak.
She knew Li Ye. When she was friends with Li Dayong, she had seen Li Ye, and the last time she saw Li Ye at the Beijing airport, she was severely humiliated by the other party, so much so that a knot was tied in her heart and had not been untied.
So when she saw Li Ye "staring at herself" for half a minute just now, she couldn't help but come over to question him sharply.
Who would have thought that Li Ye would be so impolite and say such words that were almost humiliating.
"Qiuyan, don't argue with him."
While Lin Qiuyan was angered by Li Ye, Chen Juming behind her already knew from her husband and the waiter that the Li Ye in front of her was the one who had extorted two thousand dollars from their restaurant some time ago.
Chen Juming walked over, first looked Li Ye up and down, and then said very calmly: "This friend, I don't know why you are full of hostility toward us, but I think we are all Chinese people. We should help each other when we are overseas and not make things so ugly."
Li Ye glanced at Chen Juming and said lightly: "What you said makes sense, but you didn't do it. Otherwise, why would I waste lawyer fees to become enemies with you?"
Chen Juming frowned and said amusedly: "Our Cao family restaurant has always been kind to others and will not become enemies with others. Did you misunderstand something?"
"No misunderstanding!"
Zhen Rongrong said: "At that time, Boss Cao wanted to fire Ruan Shujun. I said I was just here to substitute, so don't tell me about firing, but Boss Cao not only didn't listen, but also wanted to deduct our wages..."
"Alright, you don't have to say it."
Chen Juming interrupted Zhen Rongrong, then turned to Ruan Shujun and said: "Do you want to continue working at the Cao family restaurant?"
Ruan Shujun nodded repeatedly, indicating she was a hundred percent willing.
Chen Juming said: "Then you continue to come tomorrow! You've worked for a long time, so I'll promote you to a formal waiter."
Ruan Shujun was overjoyed and thanked her repeatedly: "Thank you, Boss Lady, thank you, Chen Nushi..."
A formal waiter can receive tips. Ruan Shujun felt that she had seen the light at the end of the tunnel.
Chen Juming looked at Li Ye again and said with a smile: "Look, we handled it this way. Are you satisfied?"
Li Ye smiled lightly: "How you handle it is none of my business."
Chen Juming also smiled, and suddenly said to Zhen Rongrong and Sister Zhen: "You are called Zhen Rongrong, you are called Tian Xizhen, right? Today is a holiday. Later, all the restaurant owners in Chinatown will have a gathering. I will introduce you. Maybe there will be a good job."
"..."
Sister Zhen and Zhen Rongrong faced each other coldly and didn't talk to her.
Facing threats, they didn't bow their heads.
And Li Ye still looked at Lu Gang not far away.
Lu Gang lowered his head, as if he didn't see Li Ye and Zhen Rongrong, but Li Ye knew he must have seen them.
Li Ye couldn't help but sigh. The life trajectory of some people is not so easy to deviate.
Lu Gang, who once changed the image of "kind and diligent" of mainland international students with his own strength, still came to the Lighthouse.
But this time, who will he kill? ===== CHAPTER 591 =====
