Although Fu Yaozu had been living in the slums before, since he was recruited by Boss Xu, he would dress himself neatly before going out every day, and even spray mint water to cover up the smell of sweat brought by busy work.
Like today, Fu Yaozu knew very well that the boss and others came here to discuss a big work project.
So Fu Yaozu took a shower early and ironed his shirts last night. He only left today after making sure that there was no problem.
Now he was actually being slandered for having a smell on him. How could Fu Yaozu not be angry!
Xu Nanxing, who was standing behind him, immediately understood that the other person was a racist when he heard the other person say "squinty eyes"!
And the attitude towards Asians is quite unfriendly!
During this period in the United States, racial discrimination was still very serious!
When it comes to racial discrimination in the United States, the most common one we hear about is of course discrimination against black people, but there has never been less discrimination against Asians, especially Chinese.
Like what the front desk staff just said, "squinty eyes" is actually more accurately defined as "pig eyes". In their eyes, Chinese people are pig-eyed people and a pig-eyed nation.
This passage comes from "A General Account of China" by American missionary Samuel Williams, published in 1847.
There was also the Chinese Exclusion Act, which was introduced by the United States in the 19th century at the instigation of Jews, which led to many Chinese people being brutally beaten and suppressed simply for this.
But Xu Nanxing still felt speechless. She had clearly come here to discuss business, but she was inexplicably subjected to racial discrimination. Moreover, the other party was just a front desk receptionist. How dare he discriminate against visiting customers so blatantly?
Is this just an individual behavior, or is this the overall atmosphere of this company, or is this the case with the entire American society?
Xu Nanxing felt that the road ahead was difficult for the series of strategies she wanted to implement in the future.
I'm afraid things won't go as smoothly as she imagined!
Because this company is located in the Silicon Valley area where high-tech companies are concentrated, there are often many high-tech talents coming in and out here. Because of the dispute between Fu Yaozu and the front desk, many people have stopped to watch.
"We have clearly made an appointment and are here to discuss cooperation with your company today! If it is delayed because of you, can you bear the responsibility? You should call and ask whether your sales manager has time to meet us! You are just a receptionist and receiving customers is your job!" Fu Yaozu said calmly.
Fu Yaozu knew that he could not back down now. He was representing the company and was speaking to the other party on behalf of the boss. If he showed weakness, it would definitely leave a bad impression on the boss.
At the same time, he also knew that Boss Xu would definitely entrust him with external communication matters like this in the future, so he couldn't embarrass his boss at all now.
Especially since the other party obviously has Chinese people in mind, even for the sake of the Chinese people, he cannot bring shame to his ancestors!
Seeing that Fu Yaozu handled the situation with neither arrogance nor servility, which was very good, Xu Nanxing did not say anything and planned to let Fu Yaozu continue to perform.
However, she also felt that today's trip might be in vain.
Seeing that the Asian man in front of her dared to threaten her, the receptionist immediately shouted angrily outside: "Security! Security! There is an Asian man causing trouble here, come and drive him away!"
Seeing that the other party was actually planning to call security to chase them away, Xu Nanxing's face suddenly darkened. Instead of getting angry, he smiled and said, "This is the first time I've seen customers treated like this! Does your boss know that your receptionist is chasing customers away like this? Anyway, there are many similar companies in Silicon Valley. If you don't want to discuss cooperation, there are companies willing to take our orders! I can also spread the word about your company's hospitality style!"
