Just like what Dover said to Vivian, society's prejudice and discrimination against the Guarts limit the extent to which this race can benefit from this empire and society.
As a member of the Chamber of Commerce, Heidler has a very high social status and identity, and he also needs to be cautious in facing this society. There are many people inside and outside the Chamber of Commerce who are watching him. As long as he makes a mistake, they will pull him down from that position and then step on him so hard that he will never be able to stand up. People don't want to have a race that seems to be saddled with all the negative comments stepping on their heads.
There is a rumor that about thirty years after the demise of the Guart Kingdom, there was a Guart merchant who made a lot of money by virtue of his excellent trading ability. If this is an Ogdin, then maybe he can use this first sum of money as a basis to continue to successfully reap benefits and become a celebrity in the country's upper class.
But that was not the case. A person who had no relationship with him went to the police to report the crime. The ordinary citizen told the police that he suspected that the Guarte had earned the money through some dishonorable means. What's even more ridiculous is that the police actually opened a case and summoned the Guart merchant. Under their manipulation, the Guart merchant admitted that he had stolen things with bruises all over his body.
The money he earned was fined, and he ended up in jail, slipping and hitting his head in the shower because he was not wearing shoes and died.
This society will never be as good as people imagine. Even today, such things may still happen in some corners.
Several industries in Dulin are constantly recruiting people from outside, but with little success. Those who have real skills are not willing to work in a company like him, and those who are willing to come are just messing around and trying to cheat some wages. people. This is also a difficult problem to solve, so in this public opinion war, Dulin raised "discrimination" as a point of view not purely to counterattack those who slandered him in public opinion, but because he really hoped that through such a discussion, Change something.
I have to say that all Guarts should be grateful to the New Party and Mags. Under the new party’s enlightened political program and municipal ideas, the past discrimination against the Guarts has been greatly improved. At least people Being willing to hire Guarts to exploit them and also pay them wages was something that was difficult to do in the past. At that time, working for others was actually a very good job if you could make a living and make some money to supplement your family income.
Most Guartes are engaged in agricultural work because the land does not discriminate against them, and does not prevent fruit trees from bearing fruit or wheat without ears just because they are Guartes.
So Dulin has many business partners, and if someone is willing to show their closeness to him, he doesn't mind giving more in return. People need friends in this world and friendship to support them. Every day of life is fresh and full of sunshine. This is why when Garfield and Alexander supported him without hesitation, he was able to return more benefits to them.
He is a serious person who takes life, himself and everything seriously.
Natalie got off the bed and poked her head out of the lounge curiously. She saw Du Lin's muscular back carving out strong lines in the moonlight. She lost herself a little, walked behind Du Lin and hugged him, "What's wrong?"
There was a smell of cigarette smoke, and she realized that Du Lin was smoking.
"Nothing, just thinking about something." Dulin flicked the ashes of his cigarette and looked at some construction sites in the distance that had not yet stopped, but his thoughts drifted far away.
There is no doubt that Kevin is his good friend, a very good friend. Until now, he has never forgotten what Kevin said to him before leaving Turnell, asking him to read more books and gain more exposure to knowledge. These things To him, wealth is more important than money. Until now, only Kevin had said this to him. No matter what Kevin's mentality was at the time, Dulin had to admit this friendship.
Only friendship can make people say things that you don't want to hear, but are very important.
Kevin was in a car accident, and Dufo told him that Kevin was being targeted and that someone wanted to kill Kevin, but these people did not ask for his consent. Although Dufo didn't say who was targeting Kevin, Du Lin was not a fool. It must be Vivian's two brothers. In Aldo, Kevin only had conflicts of interest with them. It seemed that he won the lawsuit, but he almost lost his life!
Du Lin's appearance at this time and the vague temperament exuding from his body made Natalie feel very strange. He seemed to be a different person, standing in the dark night, bathed in the moonlight, giving It has an aura of fear, but it is also full of temptation. She didn't know who made the call to Du Lin just now. She was a little jealous of the person who called because she knew very well that she didn't occupy a very important position in Du Lin's heart.
At least she couldn't make Du Lin put down what he was doing and stand by the window smoking a cigarette with just one phone call.
But my life is pretty good now, I live a fulfilling life every day, and I can come to Du Lin when I need it. It seems that this is the most comfortable period after my divorce.
She stuck out her tongue and licked her dry lips. Her throat was a little dry after humming for a long time. Just when she was about to ask Du Lin if he wanted to drink something, Du Lin turned around and hugged her back. In the rest room.
More than two hours later, the phone in the office rang again. Dulin opened his eyes in the darkness. He moved gently and did not disturb Natalie, who was already sleeping. He closed the door to the lounge and answered the phone. .
"Kevin has been rescued. He may need to stay in the hospital for a while. In addition, his thigh bone was broken into three parts. The doctor said it can be cured, but there may be a little... inconvenience when walking in the future.", both Buddha didn't say the word lame, it was Vivian who reminded him.
Du Lin was still very happy to hear the good news. He was also in the mood to joke, "Are you sure you want to express the inconvenience and not the lame person? I also know a lame person, but it's a pity that the guy left a little early, otherwise they would We will definitely become good friends." He thought of Anpu. He also found out about Anpu's broken leg later. In short, he was a bit pedantic.
Du Lin sacrificed his life for his ideals. Originally, Du Lin planned to send him to the Federation, not to turn him into his subordinate, but simply to respect such an enemy.
"I will go see him in three days, arrange for people to protect him, and summon the presidents of the Cannes State. I want to see them when I get off the car!"
Kevin woke up in the afternoon the next day after his accident. The doctor told Dover that he should be grateful that the steering wheel "pulled" his leg. Otherwise, if he had not been stuck by the steering wheel in such an impact, he would have died. A head injury may occur, with more serious consequences.
The steering wheel saved Kevin’s life!
"So I should say thank you to the steering wheel?" Kevin, who looked pale, was still very weak, but it was obvious that he was in a good state of mind. At least he could make fun of himself.
An apple peeled off quickly between Dufo's fingers. Kevin looked at Dufo's hand in surprise, because there was no fruit knife or anything else in Dufo's hand, "How did you peel it?"
Duffer's palm gently covered the peeled apples, and the next moment the apples turned into Class 8. He put these apples on the plate and handed them to Vivian.
Kevin has just had surgery and is now unable to eat any solid food, not even fruit. He can only eat a little liquid food like mud.
"When every person is born, the gods will give him a unique power, so this is not surprising." He spread his fingers and turned them back and forth, allowing Kevin to see clearly what was in his hand. There is indeed nothing.
But the more this happened, the more curious Kevin became, "If I hadn't gone to college, maybe I would have really believed what you said. Man, tell me where you hid the things?"
Dufo chuckled twice and did not tell him. Only Du Lin knew about his little secret. He had three very sharp blades hidden on his wrists. Those blades were so flexible that they were like an extension of his body. He learned this in prison, where there was a lot of talent, and these blades came from a guy who had a dozen blades hidden in his mouth. That guy should still be in jail now. His life is much better inside than outside. A blade can be sold for dozens of dollars in there!
"You don't seem to care who hit you?"
Kevin's smile was very pale, which was very suitable for his current situation. "Do you still need me to guess? Of course they are the two guys whose interests were harmed by me and lost a lot of money." He sighed as he spoke. He said, "The loss of tens of millions is indeed enough for them to do crazy things!"
When he was in the imperial capital, Kevin also faced some threats, such as envelopes with bullets, or clothes that were pierced by sharp objects and stained with red dye. Those were small cases worth millions. This time The amount involved was indeed too large, and he could understand those people's crazy actions.
"Then do you want revenge?"
A brief distorted expression suddenly appeared on Kevin's face. The anesthetic was wearing off and the severe pain would make him uncomfortable for at least a month. "Of course, this is also the reason why I can persist until now. There is nothing better than revenge." It can stimulate human beings' desire to survive." He reluctantly raised his hand and pressed it on the right side of his chest. "Damn it, let the nurse give me another injection. I don't think I can stand it anymore."
