Chapter 41 Windfall
In the middle of summer, a week had passed since the return of Xia Shang. During this week, the news about a locomotive hitting a passerby and killing a passerby continued to ferment, ranking second on the hot search list, and the first place was about the motherland destroying New York City. an underground terrorist organization.
However, according to rumors, the underground terrorist organization seems to be just a seller of pirated CDs.
At this time, someone suddenly knocked on the door of Xia Shang's room.
He thought it was Blitz who was looking for him to eat, but when he opened the door, it was the lawyer of the Watt Group who walked in.
"Hey man, I'm so glad you're an employee of Walter Group, you saved me a lot of money on a taxi."
"Elian Fast, a lawyer from the Walter Group. Just call me Fast. My friends all call me that." Fast, who was wearing a suit, shook hands with Xia Shang and sat down. Arriving on the sofa next to Xia Shang.
"any drinks?"
Xia Shang walked to the refrigerator and took out two cans of ice Coke.
"I don't think you came here today to terminate my work contract." Xia Shang smiled and threw a can of Coke into his arms.
"How is it possible? For an excellent employee like you, even if Walter fires me, he will not fire you." Fast took out a document from the black briefcase and handed it to Xia Shang, "I have good news for you. , man, you’re going to get rich today.”
"Really? I don't think Walter Group will give bonuses to us security guards."
Xia Shang put down the Coke in his hand and took the document handed to him by Fast.
He opened it and took a rough look. The content of the document was very simple and could be summarized in one sentence: Take the money and shut up.
It turns out that it was revealed on the Internet that in addition to the person involved, Huey, there was an eyewitness to the locomotive collision incident.
And this witness is Xia Shang.
"This is a check for twenty thousand dollars. You just need to reveal your face at the next press conference and explain that the locomotive was indeed chasing the bank robber at that time. At the same time, you pointed out that the woman was actually standing in the middle of the street that day, so The locomotive didn’t react.”
"Just sign here and I'll give you the check."
Fast took out a pen, took off the cap, and handed it to Xia Shang.
His expression was very confident, and there was a smile on his lips. With such a generous offer, the security guard in front of him would not refuse it.
But the next scene made his expression freeze.
Xia Shang pushed away the pen in his hand and threw the contract on the table casually.
"Are you trying to refuse?" Fast narrowed his eyes, with a hint of threat in his tone.
"Don't get me wrong, I just feel that my conscience is a little bit bad, so I need to think about it for a while." Xia Shang crossed his legs and took a sip of Coke with a smile. There was no sign of a guilty conscience at all from him.
The experienced Fast immediately understood what Xia Shang meant.
"I'll give you up to five thousand dollars more."
Fast no longer had the smile on his face just now, and he said with a dark face.
"Currently, due to the impact of this incident, the fluctuation of Walter Group's shares may easily exceed hundreds of millions of dollars, and the public relations fees spent on it are at least several million dollars."
Xia Shang's words made Fast stand up directly.
"Man, if you want the lion to open his mouth, you must also consider whether you have the life to take the money."
"Don't be nervous." Xia Shang walked up to him, looked into his eyes and said, "If I say I can accuse that woman of ignoring the traffic light and crossing the road, it was not the locomotive that hit her, but her It’s the locomotive.”
The atmosphere was silent for a few seconds, and then Fast's face instantly broke into a smile, like a face change in a Sichuan opera.
"Man, you are such a genius. Being a security guard is a waste of your talent. You were born to be a lawyer." Fast patted Xia Shang on the shoulder and couldn't help but admire him.
"Come on, I'll treat you to a drink. We'll discuss the details there."
Fast put his arm around Xia Shang's shoulders, looking like a close friend.
Afterwards, Fast took Xia Shang to a bar called Super. The front of the bar was unremarkable, but the security was very strict. It wasn't until Fast took out the work ID of the Walt Group that the security personnel at the door let the two people in. .
The extremely luxurious decoration inside the bar was in huge contrast to the simple appearance outside. Fast led Xia Shang through the crowd. The place was full of scantily clad dancers with extremely hot bodies, leaning against the steel pipes. Dancing, the neon lights above the head flash rapidly, combined with the banknotes falling from the sky, giving people a feeling of being drunk and reveling in wealth.
Unfortunately, Xia Shang is not interested in such a noisy environment because it will reduce his ability to respond to the outside world.
"It's interesting." In this bar, Xia Shang sensed a lot of special brain waves. If he guessed correctly, most of the guests in this bar are super humans.
The scene that happened next confirmed his suspicion.
A thinly dressed guy was actually able to extend his arms and hug five or six men at once.
"Welcome to the world of superheroes."
Fast took two cocktails from the waiter dressed as a bunny girl, handed one to Xia Shang, gestured to him to raise the glass, and then drank the cocktail in one gulp.
"Cheers." Xia Shang drank the wine together.
Afterwards, the two of them sat on an empty sofa. Fast pointed at the dancers on the dance floor and said with a smile: "Man, there are all types of dances you like, but I'm not going to treat you."
"Forget it, I like something cleaner."
Xia Shang leaned into Fast's ear and whispered.
Fast laughed loudly after hearing this, "Don't let them hear it, otherwise they will definitely tear it into pieces."
"By the way, if you are really willing to testify, I can guarantee that you will not get less than this amount." Fast raised the index fingers of his hands and crossed them to make a cross.
After all, as long as Xia Shang is willing to come forward and accuse him, the public relations cost of the whole matter will be reduced by at least half.
"I only take 20,000, of which 10,000 will be donated to the children in the orphanage for me, and the remaining 70,000 will be given to you."
Xia Shang shook the cocktail in his glass and looked at the center of the stage with blurred eyes.
A trace of vigilance flashed in Fast's eyes, "Why? I'm afraid no one will think it's too much money."
"I heard that my boss Al will be resigning soon."
"I can't make the decision in this matter." Fast said with a frown. He didn't expect that Xia Shang had such a big appetite. After all, Orr was also the deputy director of the security department of the Vought Group, and the security department belonged to the Vought Group. under the jurisdiction of the Human Resources Department.
Normally, if Xia Shang wants to become the deputy director of the security department with his current position, he has to cross at least three thresholds.
First, the work experience must be at least three years, then the deputy captain of the security team, then the team leader, and finally have the opportunity to become the deputy director.
"Don't be so rigid. The rules are set by people. It's easier to talk about it if it has something to do with it."
Xia Shang stood up and walked towards the locomotive where he was drinking.
