Chapter 649: The Heroine of the Palace Fight

The lawyer came very quickly, arriving within half an hour.

But what surprised Li Ye and others was that the other party was a white-skinned female lawyer.

Don't look at the lighthouse that keeps shouting about how free and equal it is all day long, but in fact, in some fields, there is no real equality at all.

For example, in the legal industry, if a female lawyer can become famous, she must have gone through many harsh tests and slapped many old white men in the face.

After the other party arrived, there was not a word of nonsense.

"Are you Mr. Li? I am Elena. What do I need to do to prove my ability?"

Li Ye pointed at Zhen Rongrong: "This is a friend of mine. She was just fired by the owner of this restaurant on discriminatory grounds without paying her salary. Do you have any good opinions?"

"."

Elena looked at Li Ye in surprise, and after a few seconds she said doubtfully: "Excuse me, Mr. Li, if you ask me to be your personal lawyer, do you usually deal with this kind of thing?"

"Not at all,"

Li Ye replied lightly, and then asked: "Ms. Elena, do you think there is anything wrong?"

Elena shook her head slightly and said amusedly: "I don't have any problem, but I hope you can understand that using my ability on such trivial things will only waste your money."

Li Ye looked at Elena and smiled: "Both Cartier and Casio can accurately time, but not having a piece of Cartier is a waste."

"."

Elena was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Thank you Mr. Li, I hope our cooperation will be pleasant."

In today's lighthouse, Japanese idiots are rampant, and Casio is one of them. However, Elena wears a Cartier watch on her wrist, so Li Ye metaphors that she is a tasteful and valuable "luxury product."

Elena and Li Ye nodded and began to communicate with Zhen Rongrong.

"Excuse me, madam, how long have you been working in this restaurant? You only have a study visa, right? It doesn't matter. As long as you work hard, you must be paid."

"Who is the owner of this restaurant? Okay. Do you still want to continue working here? Or get adequate compensation."

"Ms. Zhen, don't think that this matter will affect other working international students. After all, two dollars and fifty cents an hour is not a generous price.

And if someone comes along who makes $2 an hour, they won’t keep hiring you because of an old relationship. "

Elena asked Zhen Rongrong many questions carefully, and did not complain or discriminate against Zhen Rongrong because she only had a study visa.

When Zhen Rongrong works in a place like Chinatown, she is not protected by Lighthouse labor laws. This is why Cao Yuanmao dares to bully others.

So when Elena walked into the restaurant with her head held high and showed her identity as a lawyer, he was dumbfounded.

[For a matter of less than two hundred dollars, which SB hired a white-skinned lawyer to collect the debt? It’s not enough to cover the appearance fee, right? 】

But Elena wants more than appearance fees. She wants a job with an annual salary of more than 100,000 US dollars, and this is the basic salary.

"What did you say? You want to accuse me of harassment? Sex discrimination? Illegal employment."

Cao Yuanmao felt that his brain was running out. He was just a little boss with a little lust. Why did he suddenly seem to be "heinous"?

So Cao Yuanmao quickly called an acquaintance of his, who was well-known in Chinatown and had a good relationship with his deceased uncle.

But the other party only took one look at the door and reminded Cao Yuanmao in a low voice: "Hurry up and admit your defeat. You can't afford to mess with this bitch. I've seen her in the newspaper several times."

"."

In less than an hour, Elena handed a check of two thousand US dollars into Zhen Rongrong's hands.

Zhen Rongrong held the fluttering check and felt so unreal.

This is not the first time that Cao Yuanmao has manipulated his employees. In the eyes of these international students, he is a more desperate bully than Huang Shiren.

But now Elena just went in, showed her sign, and said a few implicit threats, and the big bully actually ceded the territory and begged for mercy.

Two thousand dollars! Even a dishwasher in a Chinese restaurant in New York only earns $800 a month for working twelve hours straight.

[This is really a world where big fish eats small fish! 】

Elena handed the check to Zhen Rongrong, raised her hand to look at her watch, and then said to Li Ye: "Mr. Li, it's nine twenty-five now, can I go back?"

Li Ye said cheerfully: "Of course, I think you are a very good lawyer. I am glad that you are willing to cooperate with us."

Elena shook hands with Li Ye and said half-jokingly: "Mr. Li, please don't praise me so much, I will take it seriously."

Li Ye raised his eyebrows and said jokingly: "What happens after you get serious? Do you want a salary increase?"

"."

Elena looked at Li Ye unexpectedly and smiled happily: "You are such an interesting boss."

. . . . . . . . .

Elena left, and Li Ye and others were about to leave, but Cao Yuanmao's angry shouts suddenly came from the Cao family restaurant.

"Tian Xizhen, you won't come here today after you finish your work. You are all ungrateful and white-eyed wolves who bite their masters when they are full."

"."

Li Ye and others stopped, especially Zhen Rongrong, with a look of shame on her face, because Sister Zhen lost her job because of her involvement.

But a second later, they heard Sister Zhen shouting decisively: "I won't serve you now, but if you dare to give me a penny less, I guarantee that you will regret it until your tooth hurts. Do you believe it or not?"

"."

Ten minutes later, Sister Zhen came out of Cao's restaurant, cursing like a street shrew, and not at all like an accomplished international student.

But Li Ye found it very interesting. After all, Sister Zhen really received all her salary.

In this world where big fish eats small fish, it is not easy for anyone to survive. If you don't want to be eaten, you must have your own means.

Zhen Rongrong said guiltily to Sister Zhen: "I'm sorry, Sister Zhen, it's all me who has caused you trouble. I was so angry just now. I didn't expect that he would take his anger out on you."

"You didn't hurt me," Sister Zhen shook her head and said, "I just made it clear to the chef that if we don't leave today, we will be kicked out by Cao in a few days."

Zhen Rongrong was stunned and asked quickly: "Why are you driving us away?"

Sister Zhen explained: "In the past month, several groups of gangsters from the mainland have arrived in Chinatown by boat. The man named Cao has already spotted two men and is planning to replace the three of us women."

Zhen Rongrong suddenly realized why Cao Yuanmao wanted to fire Ruan Shujun. Although the waitress was quick and agile, men could be used as mules. Using two men to replace three women could save hundreds of dollars in profit every month.

"The guy surnamed Cao is really evil. He obviously wants to replace us, but he still says it's our fault."

Zhen Rongrong was so angry that she was speechless. If you want to change someone, why should you put the responsibility on the waiter?

Sister Zhen said coldly: "It's not the evil man named Cao, but the evil heart of his wife. Ever since the woman named Chen took over this restaurant, several senior waiters have been driven away, leaving us alone." These newcomers are not eligible for tips."

Wen Leyu and Fu Yiruo both looked at Li Ye, because they knew Lin Qiuyan, but not Lin Qiuyan's cousin Chen Juming. Through Sister Zhen's description, they had already imagined Chen Juming as the kind of person who looked at the cigarette pole. The image of a landlady is gone.

"Let's go! I'll take you back to Berkeley."

Li Ye changed his mind and sent Zhen Rongrong and Sister Zhen back to school. After getting in the car, he casually asked about Chen Juming.

"That Chen Juming was also an overseas student. After returning to the mainland to work for a year, he came back from the mainland with Cao Yuanmao.

After returning, Cao Yuanmao lost his job at PepsiCo, but Chen Juming opened a trading company and quickly made money.

Then she invested the money into the Cao family's business, turning the Cao family's shop from three to five, which also made Cao Yuanmao very angry, and he also had the idea of ​​​​three wives and four concubines."

"But the good times didn't last long."

Sister Zhen gloated: "Since Cao Yuanmao's uncle died this summer, Chen Juming took over the power of the Cao family and took full control of Cao Yuanmao.

It’s because Chen Juming has a big belly these days and doesn’t come over much, that’s why he has dirty thoughts again.”

Zhen Rongrong said in surprise: "Is that Chen Juming so powerful? He actually opened a trading company?"

"That Chen Juming claims to have a background in the Mainland. She specializes in purchasing clothes from the Mainland at very low prices and then sells them in Lighthouse. However, this is not her greatest skill."

Sister Zhen smiled sinisterly and said: "When Cao Yuanmao brought Chen Juming back from the mainland, Cao Yuanmao's uncle was very angry.

He determined that Chen Juming’s motives were impure and that he and Cao Yuanmao had made their own decisions and registered their marriage in the Mainland without completing a pre-nuptial property agreement.”

"Chen Juming was not angry at all, and took the initiative to make money to support the family. He quickly coaxed Cao Yuanmao's uncle around, and then Lao Cao suddenly died. As expected, Cao Yuanmao could not control Chen Juming and let her seize the power of the family. .”

"."

Sister Zhen's gossip directly attracted several girls who had never watched the palace fight drama, and were greatly amazed by Chen Juming, the heroine of the palace battle.

But Zhen Rongrong said carefully: "Sister Zhen, don't say such nonsense, be careful of others accusing you."

"She's accusing a fool. Do you think just anyone can afford a gold-medal lawyer?"

Sister Zhen glanced at Li Ye, and then said instead: "This matter has been spread throughout Chinatown for a long time. There is no tradition of pig cage dipping here in Beacon. Many people also admire Chen Juming for his clever skills!

Even Ruan Shujun saw Chen Juming's example and felt that she could do it, so she only wanted to hook up with a rich man, and then get a green card and property.

It's a pity that she doesn't have that ability and was deceived by someone with just a few nice words. Did she really think that it would be so easy to get a green card and divide her property so easily? "

Sister Zhen said in a mocking tone: "Idiots like Cao Yuanmao are rare in Lighthouse. After all, people in Lighthouse know very well that the person who can take away your property is not your children, but your wife."

"."

Zhen Rongrong, Wen Leyu and others were silent. They had not left campus yet and did not have a deep understanding of the despicability of human nature, so Sister Zhen's words stimulated them greatly.

Li Ye also nodded slowly. In his previous life, he had read a novel called "Green Card", which told the story of several Run people trying to obtain green cards. The storyline was really depressing.

"Pfft~"

Sister Zhen suddenly smiled, and then said something more exciting.

“In fact, many people in Chinatown say that the Cao family’s affairs are retribution, because when Lao Cao came to Dengta, he was a poor guy. He married a rich girl to turn his life around, and that rich girl kept oppressing him, and finally lost her life inexplicably.”

“Lao Cao has been oppressing Chen Juming. Hehehe, now Chen Juming is oppressing Cao Yuanmao. Do you think there will be retribution in the future?”

“.”

Everyone was surprised and speechless, and Li Ye also remembered a sentence someone said in his previous life-“Marrying someone in Dengta, not only is your property not safe, but your life is also not safe~”

A billionaire is not an ordinary person, right? As a result, you can drive into a pond. If you think about it carefully, what kind of world is this?
