Nebo New West Lai Airport, the capital of country y.
Yu You, who had just gotten off the plane, got into the car rented by the bodyguard and headed to the reserved hotel.
The Ocean Cup International Ornamental Fish and Landscaping Competition was held in Century City in Nibo. The Moribecca Hotel where Yuyou stayed was only 1 km away from Century City, but the price was relatively expensive. It was a five-star hotel that was newly built less than two years ago. Star Hotels.
Lu Jingyi booked the hotel and paid half a month's fee in advance. He did not accompany him, so he could only hire a bodyguard for Yu You, and planned to come over after finishing what he was doing.
Yu You knew that he was afraid of flying and asked him not to force it, but he was very confident in his recovery. Yu You said no more and concentrated on checking the competition information.
Saurus, who invited her to country y, is also one of the judges of the competition. In addition to them, there are 7 judges from four countries. There are approximately more than two hundred contestants, the camp is luxurious and large-scale, and the prize money is also very considerable.
The reason why Yu You was able to qualify as a judge was also due to K's reputation and the success of the Lanzhou City Exhibition.
After checking into the hotel, Yu You first informed Lu Jingyi that he was safe, and then made a call to Saurus.
k, are you here? Sorry, I can't get away for now. I'll pick you up in person at 9 o'clock tomorrow, okay? Which hotel are you staying at
Yuyou replied: "Mo Libeka."
What? Moribecca? Wow, I didn’t expect you to be a wealthy person. No wonder you refused me to help you arrange a place to live. Okay, I'll pick you up in Moribecca at 9 o'clock tomorrow and take you to familiarize yourself with the venue.
"OK."
After hanging up the phone, Yuyou planned to go shopping nearby.
She had been to country Y before and spoke the Y language fluently, so she didn't have to worry about getting lost.
Bodyguards accompanied him to protect him. He rarely spoke and had no sense of presence. Yu You didn't care and just wandered around alone.
Nebo is an international city, where foreigners of all skin tones and hair colors can be seen everywhere, mingling among them inconspicuously.
Walking into a shopping mall, Yuyou glanced at the dazzling array of products, but there was nothing he wanted to buy. Country Z has a large population and is often the main consumer group abroad. Five out of ten customers Yu You met in this mall had oriental faces.
After shopping for half an hour, Yuyou bought a moisture-proof mat for 89$. When checking out, she accidentally caught a glimpse of a customer in front of her drawing a VIP discount coupon, which offered a 20% discount for spending $88.
This kind of coupon can be obtained as long as you spend 150$ for the first time, and you can get a discount for the second time. A customer next to me was quick-thinking and did not settle the purchase of the goods at once. Instead, he collected 150$ and then took the receipt to the counter to exchange for a coupon.
Yu You smiled slightly and secretly thought that this customer was quite economical. She handed the moisture-proof mat she purchased to the bodyguard and planned to leave the mall. But when passing the door, I suddenly heard a customer ask: "Why can't I redeem the coupon?"
Yu You followed the sound and recognized the customer from his figure and clothing as the man who just took the receipt to exchange for a coupon.
The lady at the counter replied: "People from country Z need to spend 888$ to redeem VIP coupons."
"When was this regulation changed?"
"one day ago."
Yu You stopped and frowned slightly.
She clearly remembered that the billboard clearly stated that customers who spend 150$ in this mall from April 15th to May 30th can redeem a 20% off coupon. Today is April 23rd, and there is still time before the discount ends. More than a month.
Yu You took out his mobile phone, took a picture of the content on the billboard, and then turned on the video recording function.
The customer's Y-slang was not very good, and after several fruitless exchanges, he could only leave in frustration. Not long after he left, another blond girl came over and successfully exchanged a 150$ receipt for a coupon.
It is obvious that this mall treats customers from country Z differently and has serious racial discrimination.
Yu You's face was as dark as water, and he turned to the bodyguard and said, "Wait for me here for a while."
After saying that, she walked into the mall again, purchased 150$ of goods, walked to the counter with the receipt, and said in Chinese: "I want to redeem a coupon."
The lady at the counter also replied in an awkward Z-text: "Sorry, your consumption limit is not enough to redeem the coupon."
"Really?" Yu You changed to slang again and pointed at the billboard and said, "Then please tell me, what is written on it?"
The lady at the counter glanced at it and said: "Sorry, this rule does not apply to people from country Z. People from country z must spend 1888$ to redeem VIP coupons."
Yu You raised her phone and pointed the camera at her face: "Please say it again to my phone lens."
The face of the counter lady changed slightly, and she said with evasive eyes: "This is a rule modified by our manager. Please consult our manager for the specific situation."
"Then please ask your manager to come over." Yu You said calmly, "I want to know why customers from other countries only need to spend 150$ to redeem coupons, while customers from country Z have to spend 1888$ to redeem coupons. ? Are you being racist?"
The argument between the two attracted many people to watch. Most people condemned the mall's actions, but a small number of people showed gloating expressions.
Tourists from country Z have very strong spending power and are often regarded as being taken advantage of by stupid people with too much money abroad. Yu You doesn't understand where this sense of superiority in differential treatment comes from. We are all equal people. We have neither broken any laws nor done anything extraordinary. Why can't we enjoy the same rights as others? Although some people from Country Z are indeed not of high quality, they cannot represent all people from Country Z. People with low qualities exist in every country and cannot be generalized.
The counter lady couldn't solve the problem and had to call the manager over.
When the manager learned of the situation, he said resolutely: "This rule was set yesterday, but we just haven't had time to provide a written notice."
"How do you plan to draft this written notice?" Yu You stared at him, "Do you dare to directly indicate the differential treatment of people from country Z in your mall?"
Without waiting for the manager to speak, Yu You raised her mobile phone again: "I have videotaped the entire incident and will upload it to the Internet later. All people from country Z in Aite. You must publicly apologize to people from country z, otherwise I will take corresponding measures." Rights protection measures.”
The manager looked ugly. Instead of apologizing, he called the security guard to "ask" her out in the name of disrupting order in the mall.
The bodyguards around Yu You immediately stepped forward and protected her behind her like a mountain. He is from the special forces, so he is naturally not comparable to ordinary security guards. One arm can prevent them from getting close.
"What's going on?" At this moment, a blond middle-aged man came over and looked at the chaos in front of him angrily.
"Mr. Quick." The manager quickly put on a smile and said respectfully, "There is a person from country Z who is making trouble. We will deal with it right away. You don't have to worry."
Yu You looked at the person coming. He was around forty, of medium height, feminine in appearance, well-dressed, and had a somewhat aristocratic air in his movements.
"Don't worry? You're telling me not to worry after things like this?" Quick looked at the bodyguard, then at Yu You, then his expression changed slightly, and he looked at her carefully a few more times, then strode past the manager and walked straight to She walked away.
The bodyguard raised his hand to stop him from getting closer.
The bodyguard behind Quick took a step forward and stared at him with an evil look. The air was stagnant, and the situation was about to break out.
"Excuse me, are you Miss Yu?" Quick asked suddenly.
Yu You was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "I am, do you know me?"
"I heard it from a friend." Quik smiled implicitly, "This mall was invested and built by our family. I'm really sorry that this happened. Regarding price concessions, we have absolutely no other regulations. They are all certain People make their own decisions.”
When the manager heard this, his face suddenly turned gray. Who is Quick? He is not only an investor in this mall, but also a hereditary nobleman of Country F. He enjoys a variety of privileges in Country Y, and his financial resources and rights cannot be underestimated. How could such a person be so courteous to a Z country person
Seeing that the other party had a good attitude, Yu You's face softened slightly, but he still insisted: "I hope you can apologize publicly to avoid similar things from happening in the future."
Quick hesitated for a moment and finally nodded: "Okay, as you wish."
The manager next to him was completely stunned. He never expected that this big shot would agree to apologize! How is this going? Could it be that this girl from country Z has a greater background than Quick
At this time, Quirk added: "If we apologize, I hope you will not publish the video."
"That's natural." Yu You guessed the identity of this person in his mind and didn't understand why he looked at her differently.
After the matter was resolved, Quick turned to the manager and said, "You are fired. Go back to the financial department to settle your salary."
The manager was dejected and did not dare to say a single unnecessary word.
Then, Quick took out another VIP card and handed it to Yu You: "This shopping gold card is our apology for causing you trouble. I hope you accept it."
Yu You saw a special totem printed on this gold card, which was obviously different from ordinary shopping cards. She glanced at Quick suspiciously, always feeling that he was being too attentive.
"Thank you for your kindness. I won't stay in country y for too long. I don't need the gold card for shopping." Yu You came out to protect the rights and interests of people in country y. If he accepted this gold card, the nature would be different.
Quick wasn't angry either. He took back the gold card and sent her out of the mall with courtesy and respect.
Everyone who knew Kui Ke was in disbelief. With Kui Ke's identity and status, why should he be so respectful to a Chinese national
After Yuyou walked away, his companion asked in a low voice: "Wharton, who is that girl?"
Quick said calmly: "A person who cannot be trifled with."
That afternoon, Quick issued an official statement, condemning the manager's violation of the rules and publicly apologizing to all customers in country Z.
This statement is the first official apology issued by a foreign merchant in recent years for the differential treatment of Chinese people abroad. Most of the previous so-called apology statements only emphasized that they would protect the rights and interests of all customers and that similar things would not happen again. There is no explicit mention of people from country Z, but they are playing word games in different ways.
However, Yu You vaguely realized that this incident was not a victory for the Z people to defend their rights, but because Kuike was concerned about the forces behind her, even though she did not know what forces were behind her.
Similar things happen from time to time abroad, and country Z has a long road to defend its rights.
On the first day after arriving, Country Y left a not so good impression on Yu You.
