Chapter 299 Compensation for mental damage

The waiter really wanted to shake his hands and leave, but he didn't dare because he was afraid of being complained.

At this time, large restaurants run by Westerners also had a complaint mechanism. If the hospitality was not good and the manager was told, they might be fired.

However, he still wondered: "Sir, those two gentlemen and ladies also need me to carry luggage."

He was talking about the foreigner couple.

Zhao Chuanxin flatly refused: "I gave the tip first."

The waiter had no choice but to carry it for him.

When managing housing, Zhao Chuanxin said: "Arrange one for them, one for this beautiful lady, and one of the worst rooms for me. After all, it is not easy to earn money. Hey, I just So selfless."

Miao Cuihua said: "It's not easy to earn money, why don't we make do with one room."

"..." Zhao Chuanxin glared at the front desk receptionist again: "Why don't you hurry up and make arrangements as I said? Take care of my horse, I can understand horse language, if it says something wrong to you, only you It's asking."

reception:"……"

In the end, Zhao Chuanxin brushed off Miao Cuihua's "good intentions" in wanting to save money.

Zhao Chuanxin said: "Sister Hua, live in peace of mind. Although we are poor, but the poor family has a rich life, so we can't be too picky when we go out."

Miao Cuihua smiled politely: "Don't you stop thinking about it? What if you sprain your ankle, twist your waist, and need someone to wait on you at night?"

"No." Zhao Chuanxin arched his biceps: "Sister Hua, I'm stronger than before, if you don't believe me, try it."

Miao Cuihua had already opened the door, and stepped in with half a foot: "How about you come, I'll give it a try and see how strong it is. Anyway, they all went back to the house."

Zhao Chuanxin lowered his arms and changed the subject: "Traveling is the most harmful thing to the body. Sister Hua must take good care of her. Let's go to the restaurant at night after a good night's sleep."

After speaking, hurry into the house.

As usual, move the tables and chairs and block the door.

In the evening, Zhao Chuanxin dressed and went out.

The door next door to Miao Cuihua opened, and a foreigner couple came out from inside. They were the two they had seen during the day.

The man is very tall, 1.8 meters tall, and he stands out among foreigners.

Women have a very special bookish air.

Zhao Chuanxin walked towards the door of Miao Cuihua's room.

The corridor of Astor Hotel is not wide, and Zhao Chuanxin has no habit of giving way.

And the other party seems to be used to the tradition that Qing people will give way to foreigners.

Seeing Zhao Chuanxin walking in the middle of the road, they needed to get out of the way, but he didn't.

"Sir, please get out of the way, we're going over there."

The characters spoken by foreigners in Chinese are correct and round.

Zhao Chuanxin raised his chin to the side: "I have a fear of borders, and I have to walk sideways in the middle of the road since I was a child. If you can pass, you can pass, and if you can't, you can go back a little bit."

When the foreigner heard this, he became angry: "We left first."

Zhao Chuanxin refused to budge: "So what?"

"You are so vulgar."

"It's ridiculous."

"You are shameless!"

"Don't always boast, I will be proud."

"you……"

The two sides could not stop arguing, but the door of Miao Cuihua's room was pushed open.

Miao Cuihua heard someone arguing outside and faintly heard Zhao Chuanxin's voice, so she went out to check the situation.

Zhao Chuanxin saw that the foreigner's arm was held by his wife or mistress's woman,

He also stretched out his arm cheerfully, and Miao Cuihua took advantage of the situation to pull her up.

"Let's go, Sister Hua, don't pay attention to this idiot!"

Zhao Chuanxin and Miao Cuihua walked in front, blowing up the foreigners behind.

The foreign woman whispered, "Forget it, Hoover, let's go eat."

The foreigners were indignant and helpless.

Then his eyes couldn't be separated from Miao Cuihua's back.

Miao Cuihua's white striped shirt with a long skirt underneath, clean and refreshing, but with amazing lines.Sassy and sexy, the perfect combination.

In the past two years, she has eaten well and slept well, and she has not lacked in exercise. Her skin and figure have reached the peak in her ups and downs in life.

Clearly wanting to see it, but worried that people around will find out, the eyes of foreigners will inevitably flicker.

"what happened to you?"

"Nothing, let's go eat."

Zhao Chuanxin went to call Li Shutong and Ning An again.

The four went to the restaurant together.

The menu here is a fusion of Chinese and Western dishes.

Zhao Chuanxin picked up the menu, but saw the foreign couple sitting nearby, and an old foreign man waiting for a long time.

When the two sides met, they shook hands and kissed cheeks.

Zhao Chuanxin casually threw the menu in front of Li Shutong: "You guys order, just bring me a copy."

After finishing speaking, he listened attentively to what the foreigner at the table said.

The foreign old man wore glasses without temples on the bridge of his nose. He was probably old and his mouth was broken, and he was full of memories of the past.

The foreign couple tried their best to show their patience.

Most of them talk in Chinese, and at critical times, they use English.

At first, Zhao Chuanxin still listened to the excitement, but after listening to it, he got on top.

The foreign couple, the man's name is Herbert Clark Hoover, and his wife's name is Lou Henry.

That's right, this person is the big boss who was raped by Meili behind.

No wonder Zhao Chuanxin felt familiar.

The foreign old man's name was Gusfta von der Trilling.

Most of what they recalled was about their past entrepreneurial activities. The most important thing they talked about was how they took away the Kailuan coal mine property rights from the Qing court by cheating and plundering.

Da Hu was still a businessman at this time, and he made his first pot of gold by relying on the Kailuan Coal Mine in the Qing Dynasty.

It is said that it is precisely because of the accumulation of wealth at this time that he can later become the big boss of Mei Li.

Now, he conducts underground mining all over the world, and at the same time earns a living from QHD exporting Chinese workers to South African gold mines on commission.

This visit to Daqing is related to this business.

It can be said that his road to rise has been sprinkled with the blood and sweat of the Chinese people.

Speaking of the Kailuan Coal Mine alone, Dahu later sold it, and the Qing government asked Yuan Datou to file a lawsuit with foreigners and won, but the mine has not been recovered so far.

Zhao Chuanxin was furious.

He got up suddenly, startling Miao Cuihua, Ning An and Uncle Li who were discussing what to eat.

Zhao Chuanxin said indifferently: "You guys order first, I'll sit at that table."

Li Shutong faintly smelled anger, and advised, "This is the British Concession, don't be impulsive."

"What are some rented in the UK and the US? This is China. Anyone who forgets this deserves a beating!"

Gustav von der Trilin was complaining that Yuan Datou forced him to resign from Tianjin Wei Customs: "Yuan Weiting is really unreasonable. I was in the Qing Dynasty. I have worked hard without credit. Now I am struggling. Even my beloved horse They were all sold for money..."

Just as he was talking, the lights above his head seemed to be blocked.

The three turned their heads in astonishment.

Da Hu found that the young man standing in front of him was the one he had met in the corridor before.

Zhao Chuanxin pulled a chair, inserted it between the three of them, and sat down firmly.

"What do you want to do?" Da Hu asked angrily.

Zhao Chuanxin took out his cigar and lit it.

He hasn't smoked a cigar in a while.

A puff of thick smoke sprayed on Dahu's face: "What are you doing? You didn't give way to me when you were upstairs, which caused me a huge mental loss. I need you to compensate me for the mental damage!"

The three were stunned.

This is... extortion?
But this is the Astor Hotel!
In particular, Gustav von der Trilling is the majority shareholder of the hotel.

Gustav von der Trilling said angrily: "Young man, you are doing a very dangerous thing."

Zhao Chuanxin turned his head and pointed at him with a cigar between his fingers: "Shut up first, I'll settle the score with you later."

Gustav von der Trilling: "..."

Even though he is no longer working in the Qing Customs, even if he has become a British citizen, even if he can't make ends meet because of his gambling, he still has connections.

Few people dare to talk to him like this, especially the little-known Qing people.

Zhao Chuanxin raised his chin towards Dahu: "How can I say, how much can I give?"

Da Hu sneered: "Crazy about money?"

His wife Lou Henry also said: "Sir, I think you should take care of your words, deeds and upbringing."

Zhao Chuanxin narrowed his eyes: "Is it a draft? When a man talks, why do women intervene?"

Seeing Zhao Chuanxin insulting his wife, Da Hu suddenly got up.

Because of the excessive movement, he also overturned the chair.

He thought that even if Zhao Chuanxin was not afraid, he would definitely be in a panic to guard against his attack.

However, Zhao Chuanxin just sat back and looked at him with a cigar in his mouth.

"Whatever you want to do, you can try it boldly without hesitation."

Da Hu: "..."

Throughout history, what kind of person was Da Hu?

With the wind and the waves, the mentality will collapse against the wind.Somewhat talented, but egotistical and short-tempered.

Seeing that Zhao Chuanxin was looking at no one, how could he hold back, he immediately threw his fist and rushed towards Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin took out the scepter of redemption from behind, holding the wind,

Snapped……

Da Hu clutched his slightly deformed forearm, letting out a heart-piercing howl.

Lou Henry screamed and grabbed her husband's other good arm, incoherent in panic, not knowing what to say.

People around stood up in shock.

Li Shutong stood up with panic on his face.

He absolutely dare not make mistakes in the British Concession.

Miao Cuihua didn't react much, but Zhao Chuanxin could do nothing if he pierced the sky. It wasn't the first time he had done such a thing.

How could Ning An press the handle of the gun and rushed towards Zhao Chuanxin.

Although the scepter of redemption is made of wood, its density is quite high, higher than that of ordinary mahogany on earth, second only to the iron birch outside the pass.

This time, it should be interrupted by Hu's forearm.

Zhao Chuanxin covered the scepter of redemption back, and the scepter disappeared.

Gustav von der Trilling was shocked and angry: "Do you know what this place is? You will pay for it!"

Zhao Chuanxin dusted off the cigarette ash, leaned over, and grabbed the old man's collar: "How dare you yell at me if you don't look for you? You still have to pay the price, how much do you count!"

As he spoke, he swung his arms round and clacked...

Repeated slaps from left to right, this one was easy to slap, it made Gustav von der Trilling so stunned, his brain was buzzing.

The already loose teeth fell out completely.

When Zhao Chuanxin let go, Gustav von der Trilin opened his mouth and said, "Pfft", the spit out blood mixed with teeth, in a very miserable state.

At this time, a waiter secretly went out to call someone.

The old guy sat on the ground, unable to recover for a while.

Zhao Chuanxin turned around, pointed at Dahu and said, "Tell me, how much do you pay for mental damage?"

Although Da Hu was tall and burly, he was only a mere businessman after all, and he had never met such a vicious figure.

He hates.

He decided to fight.

he gritted his teeth,
Evil grows on the gallbladder,
Say it in the harshest tone:
"How much do you want……"
