Chapter 603: Fellow Countryman Meets Fellow Countryman

Where to find migrant workers in Chinatown?

In fact, "Tang Detective 2" has already given the answer, which is to go to the hotel to find a charterer.

In the United States, generally only old overseas Chinese who have recently had poor economic conditions or have lived there for a long time will live in Chinatown.

Those who are eligible to immigrate or study abroad usually live outside Chinatown, and the people they usually interact with are basically foreigners.

In Chinatown, foreigners are not particularly common unless it is a festival.

There are even fewer single and beautiful foreigners like Luo Quan.

As soon as she walked in, the eyes of many grandparents were focused on her, but I don't know if it was because of her age that these elderly people did not recognize her.

Walking into the reception office of a hotel called "Laifu Hotel", Luo Quan saw an aunt in her forties sitting in a small room.

"Hello, Auntie, can I take you a moment?" It is said that the majority of Chinese people in Chinatown are from Guangdong, so Luo Quan spoke in Cantonese.

"Just speak Mandarin, I understand everything." Auntie put down her phone and said in authentic Cantonese Mandarin.

"I own a Chinese restaurant, and I wanted to come here to ask if there are any helpers who know how to cut vegetables but are unemployed." Luo Quan said and took out two ten-dollar bills as a tip.

"There seems to be a young man, please wait a moment." The aunt twirled the banknotes skillfully, picked up the mobile phone and dialed a number:

"Ah Rong, I have a female ghost here who is looking for a kitchen helper. Come over here quickly."

The aunt spoke Chaoshan dialect, which is known as one of the most difficult dialects in China, and thought it was impossible for Luo Quan to understand the encrypted language.

Who knew that Luo Quan not only understood it, but could even sing in this dialect.

The corner of her mouth twitched when she heard the aunt call her a ghost girl, but after thinking about it, she let it go.

About five or six minutes later, a strong young man appeared outside the hotel on a bicycle.

The young man has dark skin and strong muscles. There is a thick callus on the second joint of his left hand. He looks like a veteran in the kitchen.

"Are you looking for help?" the young man asked in English.

Luo Quan nodded: "Yes, there are a few cutters and handymen who will be paid well, but they must be skilled workers."

"My name is Zhou Zirong. I have worked in the back kitchen of Huaxia Restaurant for three years." As he said that, the young man took out his American green card from his pocket.

It is said to be a green card, but it is actually a pink card.

Only foreigners who have obtained an immigrant visa can apply for this after living in the United States for one year.

In addition, if both parents are U.S. citizens, they can also apply.

With a green card, you can obtain permanent residence in the United States.

Three years and nine months after obtaining the green card, you can apply for the citizenship test. If you pass, you can officially become a naturalized citizen of the United States.

Although everyone has their own ambitions and shouldn't have any ideas, she still felt a little dazzled when she saw the green card.

But considering that I am not living and making money in the United States, I don’t seem to have any position to criticize these Chinese people who want to naturalize in the United States.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the ID, Luo Quan asked again: "Do you know any other helpers who can cut the dough? I need to recruit two more here."

Zhou Zirong looked at Luo Quan, his excited eyes clearly indicating that he had recognized her, but now he was an employee and not a fan, so no matter how excited he was, he had to wait until he said something later: "I know two Friends, I can contact them.”

It only took about five minutes for Zhou Rong to recruit both of his working friends.

"Isn't it bad to poach like this?" After Zhou Zirong's call, Luo Quan asked with a frown.

“The boss of the place where they worked was a stingy man, with little pay and heavy work. He beat and cursed people every day, so I resigned from there.

However, my two friends, unlike me, have large families to support and cannot speak foreign languages, so they are reluctant to quit their jobs. "

"So that's it." After hearing this, Luo Quan understood.

Although Chinese people living abroad are relatively united. After all, they rely on their parents at home and their fellow villagers outside. It is normal to help each other.

However, there are also some people who cheat fellow villagers, and they cheat them to death.

I can only say that this kind of thing still depends on the person. When you go abroad, whether you are a good person or a bad person depends entirely on their own moral character.

"By the way, are you Luo Quan?" Zhou Zirong asked cautiously after finishing his work.

"I thought no one in Chinatown knew me." Luo Quan said with a smile.

Zhou Zirong smiled sincerely: "How could I not know you? You are also very famous in the United States, but an old lady like Aunt Hua definitely doesn't know you."

"Sai Zai, I can hear what you said!" Aunt Hua raised her head and glared over.

Zhou Zirong quickly begged for mercy, and then said to Luo Quan: "I saw you were going to open a Chinese restaurant before, and I said I would go take a look today. I didn't expect you to come to Chinatown to recruit people."

"It's hard to recruit employees." Luo Quan sighed helplessly. Just as he was about to say something, there was a sudden noise outside.

Two of Zhou Zirong's friends came, but they were followed by four or five people.

The leader was a fat man whose belly was twice as big as his shoulders. Standing beside him were three strong men with black vests and yellow hair, all holding a wooden stick in their hands.

Two of Zhou Zirong's friends walked towards the hotel as if they were being threatened.

"The Yan family shovel, who dares to rush into the street and poach Lao Ye?"

(Ps. Yanjia shovel is a commonly used curse word in Cantonese, which means killing the whole family.

Laoye = Laozi)

The fat guy started swearing outside the hotel, and arrogantly kicked two of Zhou Zirong's friends.

"Fuck Wu Zhenhua!" Seeing this, Zhou Zirong immediately rushed out and confronted the fat man.

Luo Quan followed and said, "I recruited him."

"The Yan family shovel..." After Wu Zhenhua saw Luo Quan, he couldn't stop swearing.

A foreigner with white skin is considered a superior person in the United States and cannot be offended.

Don’t think that black people are politically correct and no one dares to mess with them. In fact, that’s just an appearance. Most black people are still a second-class ethnic group in the United States. If there is any conflict with white people, look at who the police will help.

However, the status of yellow people in the United States is not as good as that of black people.

So after Wu Zhenhua saw Luo Quan, even if he didn't recognize her identity, he was still excited.

But after seeing that she was alone, he emboldened himself and said, "Miss, this is unfair competition. Even if you call the police, I will be responsible."

"Don't do this with me." Luo Quan waved his hand and said impatiently: "Have you signed a contract with these two employees?"

"No!" Zhou Zirong's two friends said in unison.

“Since there is no contract, technically speaking they are not your employees and are they not allowed to change jobs?

Also, I heard that you often exploit them. This is a serious matter in the United States. You don’t know, right? Luo Quan said while observing Wu Zhenhua's movements.

To be fair, they wouldn't dare to take action against themselves, but having multiple minds is not a bad thing.

When Wu Zhenhua heard what Luo Quan said, his face turned pale. He didn't expect that after oppressing the Chinese people for so many years, he would meet someone who knew the law this time.

"You're lucky." Wu Zhenhua spat on the ground angrily and turned around to leave.

Although it is difficult to find two cheap laborers, it is still not cost-effective to offend a ghost guy, not to mention that such a beautiful ghost guy's identity is probably not ordinary, so he might as well hide if he can.

"Wait a minute." Wu Zhenhua thought about it, but Luo Quan was not going to let him go just like that.

Luo Quan sneered and said: "What do you think about the fact that you just scolded me? We are all Chinese. You don't think that I don't know how dirty the words are if you use dialect, do you?"

"That was just a catchphrase. I didn't mean to insult you. I didn't mean it... Wait a minute." Wu Zhenhua suddenly raised his head, looked at Luo Quan and said, "Did you just say that you are from China?"

"That's right, aren't you?" Luo Quan nodded.

"Who are you Chinese!" Wu Zhenhua's voice suddenly became louder, "Old Ye, I am a serious American citizen and protected by American law!"

As he spoke, Wu Zhenhua was already breathing heavily, and became arrogant again: "Why do you, a foreigner, pretend to be in front of me? If you have anything to do, go to your embassy to complain. How can I be scolded? You How much money do you have to stop scolding me?"

This Sichuan opera change of expression left Luo Quan speechless.

"What gives you such confidence? U.S. citizenship certificate?"

Luo Quan was still a little angry at first, but when he thought about it, it was not worth being angry with such a person.

But some of the things he said were indeed quite outrageous. Although he was speaking Mandarin, he spoke of you as a Chinese, as if he had become a master after becoming an American citizen.

Although this concept is not uncommon in China, Luo Quan never thought that one day he would encounter the real thing.

"It's a good thing that people like you can become American citizens. At least the quality of Chinese citizens has improved a bit." Luo Quan chuckled and started to get angry.

Although his parents were from Sichuan and Chongqing and had mastered ninety-nine and eighty-one techniques in greeting people's eighteenth generation ancestors, Luo Quan rarely used swear words in front of others, as that would be too unladylike.

However, she has no shortage of yin and yang skills.

"You are sharp-tongued, but you and I have different statuses. I don't want to argue with you, so get out!" Wu Zhenhua looked like he had a big belly, and turned around to leave.

At this time, sirens sounded at the entrance of Chinatown, and soon a police car drove over.

"Damn fat man, put down your weapons and stay away from that beautiful white lady!" Three police officers quickly rushed out of the police car. When they saw several armed gangsters behind Wu Zhenhua, they drew their guns and warned.

"Holy crap, who called the police!" Wu Zhenhua's face changed drastically and he quickly asked his men to throw away the stick. Hands raised.

At the same time, Aunt Hua in the hotel showed a sneer: "Fat Chai Hua, I really thought no one could cure you."

"Lie on the ground and hold your head in your hands, hurry up!" The white police officer walked over slowly, but he was still very careful.

In a country like the United States, anyone who looks dangerous can take out a gun and shoot at any time. There are countless American police officers who have lost their lives due to carelessness. The bloody lessons have taught them not to be careless in any situation.

Of course, except when facing Luo Quan.

Wu Zhenhua, who is well aware of the nature of the American police, does not dare to act rashly. What he is saying is that if these police officers cause any misunderstanding, they will simply empty the magazine. No matter how thick his skin is, he cannot withstand it.

Asking his colleagues to handcuff Wu Zhenhua, the leading American police officer walked up to Luo Quan and said, "You are not scared, beautiful lady."

"Thank God, you came just in time." Luo Quan smiled.

"Oh, if I guess correctly, you must be the big star Luo Quan. My daughter and I like your songs and movies very much." The police officer also recognized Luo Quan, and his smile became even brighter.

Although Luo Quan is not an American, with her looks and popularity, she will receive preferential treatment in most developed countries in the world.

"If it's convenient, can you sign your autograph for my precious daughter?" Seeing that Luo Quan was fine, the police officer made such an unkind request.

"Of course, but this fat man just said very bad things to me and my friends..."

"No problem, I will take them to the detention center for a few days and let them taste the power of the American Iron Fist!" The police officer looked righteous and awe-inspiring. He had no selfish motives at all, it was entirely his duty!

Luo Quan took the pen and diary with a smile and signed three names, one for each of the three police officers.

Because there were so many people committing crimes that one vehicle could not fit in, the police officer contacted backup.

After Luo Quan thanked him again, he left with Zhou Zirong and his two friends.

Generally speaking, she rarely uses this method to make people eat bones that she feels uncomfortable with.

This made her feel a little stingy and sinister, but it was really refreshing to see those guys being pressed to the ground.

Sure enough, evil people have to be punished by evil people. No matter how powerful you are, when you meet the American Sir, you still have to hold your head and beg for mercy?

After a lot of trouble, the helper in the kitchen was finally decided.

Zhou Zirong's two friends got rid of the exploitation by their original boss and received more than ten times their previous salary, and they were still full-time employees with contract guarantees. They were much better than they were at Wu Zhenhua's.

However, compared to the way the hotel kitchen worked in the past, the new restaurant is undoubtedly much more demanding. Your hands and clothes must be kept clean and hygienic at all times, and no stains can be seen.

The same requirement applies to the kitchen, which means that not only you, but the kitchen must also be kept clean at all times.

After all, it is a high-end hotel. Even if Luo Quan changes his career and prepares to cook Chinese food, he does not want the hotel to become a small restaurant on the street. Hygiene is very, very important.

The employees were recruited one after another, and the ingredients and utensils were basically the same. Luo Quan checked the entire restaurant the night before the opening, and after confirming that there were no problems, he finally locked the door with confidence.

Early the next morning, "Luoquan Restaurant" officially opened according to the time agreed online.

But before Luo Quan entered the store, many fans had already gathered at the door and squatted right next to her.
