Yunding Ranch

Chapter 30 A Slap
Walking into the Olive Garden, it is not the peak time for dinner, there are only three tables of guests sitting in the restaurant, and the waiters are scattered in different corners of the restaurant, looking very relaxed-this is a rare day for them to be openly lazy It's time for a daze.

Fred saw Lu Li walking into the restaurant at a glance, and a big smile appeared on his face, "Hey, Fourteen! You're back!" But as soon as the voice rose, he realized that he was too loud, and hurriedly Walking up to Lu Li, he crossed his shoulders and headed towards the stairwell at the back. The other waiters activated their group mocking skills, "Fourteen, Fred has missed you for a long, long time." Everyone laughed. up.

"Be honest, where did you go during the spring break?" Fred pressed, "Did you go to Las Vegas to get married secretly?"

If it had been according to the plan, Lu Li should have stayed in New York to work during the spring break. Apart from Olive Garden, he had found another part-time job, but due to a series of accidents, all the jobs were lost in the end, and Lu Li left New York directly.

Faced with Fred's teasing, Lu Li couldn't help laughing, "So do you think I'm that stupid? Eloped and returned to New York? Of course I should go away!"

"That's not certain. Maybe you were abandoned by the bride?" Fred looked at Lu Li with contempt.

But Lu Li didn't buy it at all, and directly pushed back, "Get out, even if you want to abandon her, I will abandon her."

"Lu!" An angry yell interrupted the conversation between Lu Li and Fred. You don't even need to turn your head to tell that the voice is from Al, "Missing work for a week without reason is already unforgivable. Not to mention that you suddenly broke your promise at the last moment, resulting in a serious shortage of overtime staff! This is an unforgivable mistake for the restaurant!"

Fred's complexion changed slightly, and he wanted to refute a few words when he opened his mouth. However, Al, as the duty manager, does not have much power, but he is enough to deduct the tips of the waiters. This is equivalent to holding the waiters' economic lifeline.Even Fred, he had to think twice.

In just half a second of hesitation, Al pointed the finger at Fred, "And you, Fred, blatantly let off air during working hours! It seems that the discipline management of the restaurant has been too easy recently... "

Lu Li couldn't continue listening anymore. If Al was really disciplined, then that's fine. Everyone knows that Al just now hid in the back warehouse to smoke. Normally, unless it's peak season, he is basically a dragon. No swaying, everyone was slandering behind his back, he must be masturbating somewhere in the corner; so, Al made it clear that he was making use of the problem, and every time through this so-called disciplinary behavior, the waiter’s tip was deducted, and then Filling your pockets is simply annoying.

"I don't know, without me alone, there will be a serious shortage of overtime workers? I don't know, is it time to start breaking the law to take a cigarette break during working hours?" Lu Li passed Fred and turned to Ai. Er walked over.

Fred pulled Lu Li's shoulder, trying to dissuade him. Everyone in the restaurant knew that Lu Li was in a difficult situation, and he relied on his own hands to earn his tuition and living expenses. Therefore, Fred always did what he could. Give Lu Li some help.Now, Fred didn't want Lu Li to further offend Al because of him, and he might lose his job.

However, Lu Li knew that if he didn't stop Al, then Al would definitely deduct Fred's tip in the next step, "I don't even know when Olive Garden became a strictly disciplined place, and what? Are you starting to become a disciplinary captain? You are the lead manager, but you don't own the restaurant, don't always be 'our restaurant', 'our restaurant', this is not your restaurant."

Olive Garden is an Italian restaurant where disciplined slouching is one of their style labels.Every time Al takes a chicken feather as an arrow, it is always annoying, but Al is very cunning, and the proportion of tipping will not exceed the tolerance range, and part of it will be given to other managers on duty, so everyone They also open one eye and close one eye.

Lu Li has always wanted to teach Al a good lesson, and today he finally seized the opportunity.

"Lu! You're crazy!" Al was so angry that his body began to tremble. He had worked in the Olive Garden for six years. Not even when I was sitting on the waiter, my angry eyes couldn't help but start to bloodshot, "You shameless Chinese/Chinese guy, you are just a waiter serving dishes here, I didn't ask you to wash dishes in the back kitchen , I’m already doing you a favor! You’re just a temporary worker, an ant with the power of life and death in my hands! Do you know? I’m going to torture you now, or even fire you, and I guarantee that no one will object! Let me tell you, for you, this is my restaurant, I am your king! I hold your lifeline!"

Al's expression became distorted. Instead of retreating, he tried to hit Lu Li with his head, but because of the height difference - he was a full head shorter than Lu Li, which made his aura even more weird. .

There was a ferocious smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was abusing a cute little animal, waiting for the poor creature to kneel down and beg for old age, "I tell you, if you kneel down and beg for mercy now, I might still let you go Yima, let you continue to work here to make money. But if you don’t want to…” Al snorted softly, “I’ll sue you for theft! Report it to the police directly!”

"Al!" Fred finally couldn't listen anymore, and rushed up, trying to stop Al. "You know Shisi didn't steal, you're making a false accusation!" However, Lu Li was not in a hurry, he wanted to let Al continue talking, to see where the bottom line of this guy was.

"Haha." Al looked up and laughed loudly, "Fred, how naive you are! I said Lu stole things, so he did. My wallet was found in his closet, and everyone got the stolen goods Even if there is no evidence, I can fabricate evidence! This is the United States, he is just a helpless foreign student, I want to punish him, there are countless ways!"'

Al turned his head to look at Lu Li, his eyes were slightly red, "You said, if the police investigate and convict you, will your visa be cancelled? Get the hell out of here! At that time, your precious and valuable I won’t be able to get my New York University diploma.” Al laughed again, that weird smile made people creepy, “So, you still have a chance now. Tick, tick, time waits for no one!”

Al also raised his right hand and tapped his wrist, signaling that time was passing.

Fred looked at Lu Li anxiously. In his desperation, he couldn't think of a solution for a while. Does he really want Lu Li to kneel down and apologize?Now that it's not just a job issue, it even involves a visa issue, so Lu Li's four years of hard work in New York will be in vain.

Not only did Lu Li not retreat, but he often leaned forward, with a weird smile on his lips, as if... as if he had a plan in his chest, "You don't think you're covering the sky with one hand here, do you? The other managers on duty won't let it go." If you act recklessly like this, at least Nixon will definitely not let you act recklessly."

Nixon is the most senior manager on duty, and he has a very good relationship with Al.But usually, in order to maintain the harmony of the restaurant, Nixon always stood up and said good things, playing the role of a bad face, so there was basically no conflict between Nixon and the waiters.

"Naive, I said you are too naive, but you still don't believe me." Al didn't panic at all, "How old are you now, twenty? 21? You don't even know how this society works! Let me tell you , usually I catch your discipline and withhold your tips, do you think I stole all those tips? I'm not that stupid, Nixon can take half of it! So, he always turns a blind eye to my behavior Close your eyes. Don't talk about Nixon, Wood, Will, it's the same! You are now a mouse in the urn, and there is no escape!"

"I see." Lu Li suddenly realized, and sighed, which made Al look up and laugh again, very proud.

But at this moment, Al saw Lu Li take out his right hand from behind, and raised the mobile phone in his hand, which showed that it was recording - the red curve fluctuating according to the sound was so clear and direct.So, Lu Li recorded everything just now?
After realizing this, Al's face looked like an overturned palette, changing from red to green, then purple, black, and finally a layer of gray, it looked like plaster was applied, a little bloody Nothing, even the last trace of life in his eyes was taken away.

Al subconsciously tried to snatch the phone from Lu Li's hand, but Lu Li had already prepared for it, took a big step forward, and knocked Al hard.Al was moving forward, but he was hit by an impact and had no time to react. He fell backwards and flew out, rolling on the ground like a gourd, in a panic.

Fortunately, there is a passage after the stairwell, the passage from the kitchen to the dining room, so Al's embarrassment did not break the tranquility of the restaurant, but the other waiters standing at the exit of the passage saw the chaos and turned their heads one after another .When they saw Al's disheveled appearance, everyone couldn't hold back their laughter.

Lu Li walked over slowly, looked down at the ashen-faced Al, and could even see the pale lips trembling slightly, because Al knew better than anyone that if this recording was released, If so, what will he face.Not only that, but Nixon, Wood, Will and others will not let him go easily. What's worse, if other restaurants hear the news, he may be listed as the object of rejection.

This also means that his career as a restaurant manager in New York is likely to come to an abrupt end.

A smile formed on the corner of Lu Li's mouth, "Al, what will you do now? Tick, tick, time waits for no one."
