Self-inflicted evil, can not live.
Buddhism, one of the world's three major religions, advocates the theory of cause and effect. The cause was planted yesterday, and the fruit tasted today will be achieved.
Malfoy, who is now the receptionist, can only complain a little, although all this can be regarded as his "self-inflicted".
On the day of the Fengge inventory, except for the most trusted goblin who needs to go to the treasury to check it in person, other staff members can't be idle. They also need to cooperate with the goblin's work, such as checking the items after ordering, or other things. Business.
All Malfoy was doing in his little office, too.
But when he heard the dragon chant that was loud enough to resound throughout Diagon Alley, he knew that things might not have developed within the scope he had imagined.
The strongest fortresses in the world are breached from within, so he chose to bribe Griphook.
However, it seems that this internal response did not complete the task silently, even when he had created sufficient conditions for him.
Soon, he knew what happened.
Because the president urgently summoned all the current employees.
A goblin was seriously injured, with extensive burns all over his body, and was immediately sent to the Artifact Accident Unit of St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Sickness. Some of the other goblins accidentally fell because they were in a panic, and some even fell off the trolley, causing their heads to bleed. This has added a few places to the hospital's inpatient list.
More goblins were simply frightened. For many years, when did such a big event happen to Gringotts, which claims to be the second safest place in the UK after Hogwarts.
Then it led to a strike by some goblins.
What if the leader ran out at this moment. It's all caused by your staff's own mistakes.
Maybe it will really irritate them completely, and maybe something unexpected will happen.
The head of the Gringotts branch made a decisive decision and gave most of the goblins a vacation, allowing them to take the vacation they were willing to take, and those who were unwilling to take a vacation could get double salary in their recent work, which appeased most of the goblins.
The relationship between supply and demand is relative. If it is in a country in the far east, the capital controller will only say that it is time to do it, not to leave. There is still a lot of cheap labor flocking to it.
After all, it is the most populous country in the world, and its national conditions are limited.
But Gringotts is different. Most of their members are goblins, and very few of them are composed of human wizards. Every labor force is very precious.
To sum up, Malfoy, who seemed to be relatively idle, was pulled to act as a "strong man".
"Hi guest, your vault is recorded at No. 423, please follow this guide."
"Hello, guest, the vault you are using is temporarily suspended due to some minor problems that occurred in this pavilion a few days ago, and we are doing our best to repair it."
"What? I can't withdraw my money anytime I want?"
"This is the only magic bank in Europe? Are you kidding me? Call me your president."
If you are lucky and meet some reasonable customers, you will be fine. If you are lucky, you almost encounter the thorns mentioned above.
After explaining, if you still don't listen to the greeting.
"I heard that in order to prevent the invasion of a wanted criminal, the president has hired a lot of new battle wizards. It's time for them to prove themselves." At this time, Malfoy will pretend to be unconscious and talk to himself. , revealed some seemingly non-existent threats.
No matter how small an industry is, once a monopoly is formed, it will greatly change the relationship between buyers and sellers, let alone a bank. After all, not every family has such a thing as a private treasury.
Normally, these customers would die down, but today it seems so inauthentic.
"Gringotts Bank in the UK treats their customers in such a disrespectful way. It's really disappointing." A young girl's voice suddenly came from behind the line, melodious and light, like the song of a lark in the morning. , but no one is happy about what he said.
Her speech was not very fluent, and there were some strange accents in it, but it was still very elegant and moving, and a simple logical reasoning was enough to know that she was not British.
People in their respective circles began to gather around to watch, not only because there was excitement to watch, but also because the focus of the dispute seemed to be a beautiful woman.
Disputes and beauties can always attract the attention of ordinary people.
Shoulder-length silver hair like a waterfall, a pair of big blue eyes and a mouthful of white and neat teeth, except for a certain universe country, the aesthetics of most people in the world should be normal, so this girl should look good no matter where she is. She is a beauty in the conventional sense.
Not to mention the exotic charm in the girl's eyebrows and the bonus brought by her noble temperament.
Conquering a proud woman is a very fulfilling thing for any man.
However, Malfoy continued to take notes, and said without raising his head: "The receptionist is so rude, I'm really sorry, but." Malfoy paused and continued: "The politeness you expected When the goblin receptionist of a customer checked out a certain client's property, he found a contraband. Because the protective magic effect disappeared, a huge accident was caused. In order to protect the property of other customers, many goblins in Gringotts All were injured and one nearly died, and is now being treated at St Mungo's Hospital."
"So I'm not in the mood to face this group of so-called customers who may violate the contract. Up to now, maintaining the most basic courtesy is my greatest restraint."
"I really don't want to think about them who were colleagues in the past, and their lives are in danger in the blink of an eye."
During the speech, Malfoy slightly applied a spell of charm to his voice, making his voice more contagious. Coupled with his own acting skills, a large part of the audience had shifted their positions.
It's just that the girl was a little unconvinced, and insisted, "Where's the evidence?" In fact, I already believed it halfway, but I couldn't bear to apologize.
"The fifth floor of St. Mungo's Hospital, if you have the courage to visit a goblin whose body is 80% scalded, I hope you will still not have nightmares at night." Malfoy's expression was heavy.
Hearing this, the girl's upright figure suddenly became sluggish, and she seemed to be deeply shocked, and silently returned to her position just now.
Seeing that there was no excitement to watch, the people dispersed and returned to their own lines.
As a reborn person who has experienced the era of the big Internet, it is easy to talk about these little girls who have no sense of justice. First seize the moral high ground, and then basically be invincible.
In fact, Malfoy's debate just now was basically illogical, and it was only achieved by his own instigation techniques and some magic.
If you really want to ask rhetorically, it is also very simple.
"Because of this, you can't live up to the sacrifices of your colleagues and serve us better for them."
"Isn't what you are doing now just to discredit their behavior?"
Unfortunately, no one responded.
More people who were delayed due to business also chose to be tolerant.
When Malfoy finally left Gringotts, he even got another raise for this impromptu PR crisis.
Of course, this is for another day.
Compared to this insignificant episode, Malfoy's sense of foreboding was the one that gave him a headache all morning.
As the old saying goes, blessings come without pairs, and misfortunes never come singly. His gut told him something big was going to happen at Gringotts.
But now he still has to replace those goblins who are on vacation or injured. If he insists on resigning now, it will only arouse suspicion.
"Sir, please show your identification."
"Roy, take this lady to vault 314."
Now he can only work in an orderly manner and bite the bullet.
