Chapter 327

"What's the matter? Let's get in the car and talk." Su Chen said.

Deng Yuanyuan thought for a while, then nodded.

After getting in the car, she said: "It's like this. I used to work for a restaurant, but I didn't pay my salary, so I want to borrow two hundred dollars from you, and I will pay you back when I get my salary. May I?"

Su Chen asked Avril to bring her five hundred dollars, and said: "You take it for emergency first, and you can return it to me when you have money. Zhou Wei and I are buddies. Since you have something to do, I can't just sit idly by."

Deng Yuanyuan shook her head hastily: "Two hundred is fine, 500 is too much."

"You can take it here." Su Chen said: "Take it for emergency first, but why didn't that restaurant pay you?"

Deng Yuanyuan shook her head: "Because one day I needed to go to class, I had to leave work first, so the Mexican boss said that I was slow at work and wanted to deduct my wages. I didn't get back after two attempts."

"How much salary?" Su Chen asked.

"About more than 500 yuan." Deng Yuanyuan said with a bitter face, "I said that he lost a lot because I left work early that day."

Now there are many unscrupulous bosses of this kind. Seeing that you are a foreigner and a student, they will find ways to trouble you.

Deduct your salary in various ways, because many international students have difficulty in defending their rights, and most of them cannot get their salary.

Ask the police station for help, because you don’t have a contract and you’re working illegally, which is simply not allowed. Don’t say you can’t get money, maybe they will find a reason to arrest you.

It amounts to a lose-lose move.

Su Chen thought for a while, and said: "Well, if you are free today, let's go to my room to have a cup of tea first, and then we will talk about this matter."

"That's bothering you." Deng Yuanyuan nodded: "I just happen to have nothing to do today."

Su Chen started the car and headed towards Houwan.

Turning to look at Avril in the passenger seat, she said, "Avril, Deng Yuanyuan is Zhou's girlfriend, you haven't officially met yet, have you?"

"This is simply too surprising." Avril turned her head to look at Deng Yuanyuan in a hurry: "Deng, why didn't you say that just now? When he came here a week ago, we got along very well, and I don't know how he is doing in New York now."

Many Americans have difficulty pronouncing the finals "u" and "ü", such as yuanyuan, and they may not be able to pronounce them.

"Avril, thank you for your help that time, otherwise he would have been locked up." Deng Yuanyuan said, "Thank you for your help."

Avril shrugged: "Actually, I didn't help that time. Miranda and Brian deserved the most credit. You have already met Brian. It's a pity that Miranda is not at home today. Otherwise, you can meet each other."

"Avril, Deng was deducted several hundred yuan in salary by a black-hearted restaurant owner, can you ask Mr. Clara to help him get it back?" Su Chen asked.

"Xie Te." Avril raised her eyebrows: "Damn black-hearted ghosts, you actually deducted the wages of your foreign students, let's go back and ask Uncle Clara later.

If you can get it back, you must come back. Otherwise, if an international student deducts hundreds of dollars, isn't he deducting thousands of dollars from those foreign students? "

Deng Yuanyuan shook her head hastily: "Let's forget it, I'll cause you trouble, I'll just find another place to work, Su Chen, I may not be able to pay you back the money for the time being."

"It's okay, don't worry." Su Chen said, "Just pay me back when you have money."

However, he only borrows money from certain people, otherwise someone will come to you to borrow money every three days, and you will be annoyed to death.

And some people think that if you have money, you must lend it to him. If you don't lend it, you have a bad character.

Soon, the three came to Back Bay.

The car stops at the door of the house.

Deng Yuanyuan was taken aback: "You bought this house?"

"Yes." Su Chen nodded: "I'm not used to living in a host family, so I bought a house by myself."

Of course, he would not take the initiative to ask Deng Yuanyuan if she wanted to live here.

"Deng, let's go in first, have a cup of coffee, and then I'll call Uncle Clara and ask." Avril Lavigne said.

Deng Yuanyuan nodded and said, "Then let's go in first."

The three entered the room and asked Deng Yuanyuan to sit down. Su Chen asked, "Do you want tea or coffee?"

"Drink coffee, drinking tea takes too much effort."

"Fortunately, you said to drink coffee. If you said to drink tea, I really don't know how to make tea." Su Chen said with a smile: "It used to be that kind of enamel mug, just grab a handful of tea and throw it in, and then pour hot water on it. .”

After speaking, he got up to boil water.

"It's all the same. We didn't have the conditions to be so refined before, and making tea is better than drinking it cold." Deng Yuanyuan pursed her lips and smiled: "Although our tea culture is ahead of Japan, I feel that the people of Japan are better than us in this regard. Pay attention."

Su Chen agreed with this sentence: "Yes, they still keep many habits handed down from our Tang Dynasty, and they still carry them forward very well."

Avril went to call Clara and told about Deng Yuanyuan's situation.

Clara thought for a while, and said, "I need to ask the person concerned. If it's convenient for you, I will be there in about 10 minutes."

"Then we will wait for you."

After hanging up the phone, Avril and Deng Yuanyuan said: "Uncle Clara will be here soon, you tell him your situation, maybe he can help you."

"Thank you!" Deng Yuanyuan expressed gratitude, and then hesitated: "Actually, it's only a few hundred dollars. Mr. Clara is a barrister, right? I don't have money to pay the lawyer's fee."

"It's okay, I still owe him a large amount of lawyer's fees." Su Chen said comfortingly, "Maybe this barrister will save me for my sake."

Although the salary of a few hundred yuan is very small, Su Chen believes that as long as he has done nothing wrong, he must get it back. This is not only a matter of salary, but also a matter of the bottom line.

"But..." Deng Yuanyuan looked a little embarrassed: "It's just a few hundred dollars..."

Avril shook her head: "Deng, you can't think like this. One student of yours is worth several hundred yuan, so what if that black-hearted ghost deducts the wages of dozens of people? And in the future, what if there are Chinese students who study abroad at a disadvantage?"

Deng Yuanyuan thought about it, and it seemed to be the same reason.

But she couldn't intervene in this matter at all, so she could only say: "It's still a lot of trouble to you, I'm really sorry."

"You don't have to be polite." Avril said: "Su and I will help you with this matter."

The three of them chatted for a while, and naturally they chatted from all over the world, including Chinese and American.

However, Avril Lavigne was the one who asked about China. She has longed for China now, and she can't wait to fly over there sometime.

Soon, Clara will come over.

As soon as he entered the door, the old man smiled and said, "Su, are you adding to my performance?"

"Mr. Clara, please sit down." Su Chen said with a smile: "I thought you would reduce the fee this time for the sake of our previous cooperation, but I didn't expect you to ask for more money?"

"Man, who hates money? I'm not a rich man like you who buys 20th Century Fox or other properties every now and then. I just make a living on a meager performance."

After sitting down, Clara said, "What's going on specifically? Tell me in detail, and I'll see how likely this salary can be recovered."

Now that the lawyers are here, Deng Yuanyuan can only tell the truth about what happened.

Avril took the initiative to pour a cup of coffee to Clara.

After hearing Deng Yuanyuan's words, Clara's eyes narrowed: "I think I know what's going on, how about it, I'll go with you later, if that black-hearted Mexican dares not pay him, I'll sue him I can’t take care of myself in my next life.”
