My Mind Goes Straight To the Sea - Chapter 91
Nebo Xinxilai Airport, the capital of country Y.
Yu You, who just got off the plane, got in the car rented by the bodyguard and went to the hotel he booked.
The Ocean Cup International Ornamental Fish and Landscape Competition was held in the Century City in Nebo. The Moliberca Hotel where Yuyou stayed was only 1 km away from the Century City, but the price was relatively expensive. Star Hotels.
The hotel was booked by Lu Jingyi and half a month’s fee was paid in advance. He didn’t accompany him, so he could only hire a bodyguard for Yuyou, intending to come over after finishing his work.
Yuyou knew that he was afraid of flying, and told him not to force it, but he was quite confident in his recovery. Yu You didn’t say more, and concentrated on checking the information of the competition.
Saurus, who invited her to country Y, was also one of the judges of the competition. In addition to them, there were 7 judges from four countries. There are about two hundred contestants, the camp is luxurious, the scale is huge, and the prize money is also very considerable.
The reason why Yuyou was qualified as a judge was also due to K’s reputation and the success of the Lanzhou City Exhibition.
After checking in at the hotel, Yu You first reported to Lu Jingyi that he was safe, and then called Saurus.
【K, are you here? Sorry, I can’t get away for the time being. At 9 o’clock tomorrow, I’ll pick you up in person, okay? Which hotel are you staying at? 】
Yuyou replied, “Mo Rebecca.”
【what? Mo Rebecca? Wow, I didn’t expect you to be a local tyrant, no wonder you refused me to arrange a place for you before. Okay, tomorrow at 9 o’clock, I will pick you up at Mo Rebecca, and let you familiarize yourself with the venue first. 】
“OK.”
Hanging up the phone, Yuyou plans to go shopping nearby.
She has been to country Y before, and she speaks Y language fluently, so she doesn’t have to worry about getting lost.
The bodyguards accompany him to protect him, rarely speak, and have no sense of presence. Yuyou doesn’t care, and just hangs out.
Nebo is a big international city, and foreigners of all skin and hair colors can be seen everywhere, mixed with fish and unremarkable.
Walking into a shopping mall, his eyes swept across the dazzling array of commodities, but Yuyou didn’t have anything he wanted to buy. Country Z has a large population and is often the main consumer group abroad. Five out of ten customers Yuyou met in this mall were oriental faces.
After shopping for half an hour, Yuyou bought a moisture-proof pad for 89$. During the checkout, she accidentally caught a glimpse of a customer in front of her who had drawn out a VIP discount coupon, and she could enjoy a 20% discount after spending 88$.
This coupon can be obtained as long as the first purchase of 150$, and the second purchase can be discounted. A customer next to him was alert and did not settle the goods he purchased at one time, but collected 150$ first, and then took the receipt to the counter to exchange coupons.
Yuyou smiled slightly, and secretly said that this customer is very careful. She handed over the moisture-proof mat she bought to the bodyguard and planned to leave the mall. But when passing by the door, I suddenly heard a customer ask: “Why can’t I redeem the coupon?”
Yu Youxun looked at the prestige, and recognized from the body and clothes that the customer was the man who just exchanged the coupon with the receipt.
The lady at the counter replied, “People from Z country need to spend 888$ to redeem VIP coupons.”
“When will this be amended?”
“one day ago.”
Yuyou stopped, frowning slightly.
She clearly remembered that the billboard clearly stated that customers who spend 150$ in this mall from April 15th to May 30th can redeem a 20% discount coupon. Today is April 23rd, and there is still more to go before the end of the discount. more than a month.
Yuyou took out his mobile phone, took a picture of the content on the billboard, and then turned on the video recording function.
The customer’s Y language was not very good. After several exchanges with no results, he could only leave in anger. Not long after he left, another blond girl came over and successfully exchanged a coupon for a receipt of 150$.
It is obvious that this mall treats customers in country Z differently and is racially discriminated against.
Yu You’s face sank like water, and he turned to the bodyguard and said, “Wait for me here for a while.”
After she finished speaking, she walked into the mall again, bought 150$ products, walked to the counter with the receipt, and said in Z, “I want to exchange a coupon.”
The lady at the counter also replied in an awkward Z text: “Sorry, your consumption limit is not enough to redeem the coupon.”
“Really?” Yuyou changed into Y again, pointing to the propaganda sign, “Then please tell me, what is written on it?”
The lady at the counter glanced at it: “I’m sorry, this rule does not apply to people from country Z. People from country Z must spend 1888$ to redeem VIP coupons.”
Yuyou raised her phone and pointed the camera at her face: “please say it again to my phone lens.”
The face of the counter lady changed slightly, and she said with a dodgy look: “This is a regulation revised by our manager. Please consult our manager for the specific situation.”
“Then trouble your manager to come over.” Yu You said calmly, “I want to know, why customers from other countries can redeem coupons after spending 150$, but customers from country Z have to spend 1888$ to redeem coupons. Are you racist?”
The debate between the two attracted a lot of onlookers, most of whom condemned the mall’s practices, but a small number of people showed schadenfreude expressions.
Tourists from country Z have strong spending power, and are often taken advantage of by adults abroad with a lot of money. Yuyou didn’t understand where the sense of superiority of this differential treatment came from. Everyone is equal, neither breaking the law nor doing anything out of the ordinary. Why can’t they enjoy the same rights and interests as others? Although some people in country Z are indeed not of high quality, they cannot represent all people in country Z. People with low quality can be found in any country and cannot be generalized.
The lady at the counter couldn’t resolve the matter and could only call the manager over.
When the manager learned of the situation, he said firmly: “This regulation was made yesterday, but I haven’t had time to show the written notice.”
“How do you plan to formulate this written notice?” Yu You stared straight at him, “Do you dare to directly indicate the differential treatment of people from Z country in your shopping mall?”
Without waiting for the manager to speak, Yu You raised her mobile phone again: “I have already recorded the whole incident, and I will post it on the Internet later, all the people of Z country in Aite. You must publicly apologize to the people of Z country, otherwise I will take corresponding measures. rights protection measures.”
The manager’s face was ugly, and instead of apologizing, he called the security guard to “invite” her out in the name of disrupting the order of the mall.
The bodyguard beside Yuyou immediately stepped forward and protected her like a hill. He was born in the special forces, naturally not comparable to ordinary security guards, one arm makes them unable to get close.
“What’s going on?” At this moment, a middle-aged man with blond hair came over and looked at the chaos in front of him angrily.
“Mr. Quick.” The manager quickly put on a smile and respectfully said, “There is a person from country Z making trouble, we will deal with it right away, you don’t have to worry.”
Yu You looked at the person who came, about forty, medium height, feminine appearance, quite well-dressed, and a bit of aristocratic temperament in his gestures.
“Don’t worry? Why don’t you tell me not to worry?” Quick looked at the bodyguard, then at Yuyou, then his expression changed slightly, and he looked at her carefully again, then strode past the manager and went straight to She goes.
The bodyguard raised his hand to stop him, preventing him from approaching.
The bodyguard behind Quick stepped forward and stared at him badly, the air was stagnant, and the situation was about to explode.
“Excuse me, are you Miss Fish?” Quick asked suddenly.
Yuyou was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, “I am, do you know me?”
“I heard about it from a friend.” Quick smiled implicitly, “This mall was invested and built by our family. I’m really sorry for this kind of thing. We have absolutely no other rules about the price concessions. People make up their own minds.”
When the manager heard this, his face suddenly turned pale. Who is Quaker? He is not only an investor in this mall, but also a hereditary noble in country F. He enjoys various privileges in country Y, and his financial strength and power should not be underestimated. How could such a character treat a country Z person so politely?
Seeing that the other party had a good attitude, Yu You’s expression softened slightly, but he still insisted: “I hope you can apologize publicly to avoid similar things from happening in the future.”
Quick hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: “Okay, as you wish.”
The manager next to him was completely stunned. He didn’t expect this big man to agree to apologize! How is this going? Could it be that this Z country girl has a bigger background than Quake?
At this time, only to listen to Quick added: “If we apologize, I hope you will not publish the video.”
“That’s natural.” Yu You guessed the identity of this person in his heart, and didn’t understand why he treated him differently.
After the matter was settled, Quick turned to the manager and said, “You were fired, go back and find the financial settlement salary.”
The manager bowed his head in dejection and did not dare to say a single extra sentence.
Then, Quick took out another VIP card and handed it to Yuyou: “This shopping gold card is our apology for causing you trouble. I hope you will accept it.”
Yuyou saw that this gold card had a special totem printed on it, which was obviously different from the ordinary shopping card. She gave Quick a suspicious look, always feeling that he was being too attentive.
“Thank you for your kindness. I won’t stay in country Y for too long, so I don’t need to buy a gold card.” Yuyou came forward to protect the rights and interests of people in country Z. If you accept this gold card, the nature will be different.
Quick was not angry, took back the gold card, and sent her out of the mall all the way, polite and respectful.
Everyone around who knew Quake felt incredible. With Quake’s identity and status, why should he be respectful to a person from country Z?
When Yuyou walked away, his companion asked in a low voice, “Wharton, who is that girl?”
Quick said lightly: “A person who can’t be provoked.”
That afternoon, Quick made an official statement, condemning the manager’s tampering with the rules, and publicly apologizing to all customers in Country Z.
This statement is the first time in recent years that a foreign businessman has issued an official apology for the differential treatment of people from country Z abroad. Most of the so-called apology statements in the past only emphasized that the rights and interests of “all customers” will be protected, and there will be no similar incidents. Happened, and did not explicitly mention the people of Z country, playing word games in different ways.
However, Yu You vaguely realized that this was not a victory for the rights of the Z people, but because Quick was concerned about the forces behind her, even though she didn’t know what forces were behind her.
Similar things happen from time to time abroad, and the road to rights protection in country Z is long.
On the first day of his arrival, Country Y left a bad impression on Yuyou.
