Chapter 1260: No Cell Phones at Work
Xiao Peng really didn't expect Alfred's method to be so simple.
He asked Kaxin to help him not because he wanted Kaxin to be his thug, but because he wanted Kaxin to help him check the surveillance footage and find out whether there was any sign of the gardener playing with his cell phone.
What makes Xiao Peng extremely speechless is that there are so many laws and regulations in the Netherlands to protect employees, but "playing with mobile phones during working hours" meets the conditions for "dismissal on the spot"!
Who doesn't use their phone at work these days? And they're gardeners! They have tons of free time! Their typical job involves wearing headphones while sitting on their lawn mowers, using their phones! It's easy to catch them using their phones while working!
Such a capitalist state mainly protects the capitalist class, and Xiao Peng is now also a damn bourgeois.
When the gardeners learned they were being fired, they were filled with disbelief: "Has my boss lost his mind? Do you know how much compensation he'll have to pay for firing me on the spot?" They clamored and shouted that they would sue Xiao Peng.
As a result, when Alfred told them: First of all, because they had a new boss and were now on a fixed-term contract, the compensation would not be much money, then Alfred produced surveillance photos of them playing with their mobile phones at work and showed them the provisions of the Dutch labor law prohibiting playing with mobile phones during working hours and told them: If they have any objections, they can sue Xiao Peng in front of a lawyer. Of course, Alfred sincerely advised them not to do so: because they would only waste their money - they would lose!
The gardeners were in a panic. They couldn't afford to lose their jobs!
First of all, with such good treatment and such a great working environment, what would they do if they lost their jobs? Although gardeners and the like earn high salaries, that presupposes they can find a job! Every job is filled by a different person. Which wealthy family that employs gardeners doesn't have their gardeners work for years or even decades? When they get old, they want their children to take over, fearing that such a good job will be lost to someone else. Now, look, they've lost their own jobs. What are they going to do now? Finding a similarly comfortable job as a gardener is almost impossible. Should they go to the countryside to farm?
Originally, they worked here for the Dutch royal family, which was very prestigious. Now that the house has become Xiao Peng's, they feel very unhappy: after all, one is a royal family member and the other is a nouveau riche. How can they boast about their glory as before?
So when Xiao Peng first arrived, they all decided to use their resignation as an excuse to ask for a raise. At the time, Xiao Peng didn't care. It was all about the money, wasn't it? This gave them motivation—this Daxia boss was easy to talk to, well, easy to bully. He was rich, after all, and you have to understand the psychology of rich people: if someone is willing to give you a 20% raise to stay, they will definitely get another 20% raise.
As it turned out, they guessed wrong. Alfred directly handed them a 'spot dismissal notice' and they were now unemployed!
Xiao Peng's thinking was simple: I'm not short of money, but I can give it to you, but you can't blackmail me! Since you did that, goodbye! Didn't you say that sneaking in at night caused you psychological problems? Just go home and you won't have any psychological problems. If you want to sue, sue those British people!
Now Walter and others were standing there, watching these people pack their luggage and leave the manor.
Well, if someone else encountered such a situation, they might have made a scene, but how could the gardeners here dare to make trouble? These bodyguards were all ruthless people, these were the kind of people who would fire warning shots even if someone was having sex!
I can’t afford to offend you!
The gardeners were so anxious when they realized they were going to lose their jobs that they wanted to apologize to Xiao Peng and ask him to keep their jobs. Unfortunately, Xiao Peng wasn't even at home! They had no choice but to pack up their things reluctantly.
Of course, this matter can't just be let go. They need to talk to a lawyer. Are these people kidding me? How can they fire me in person just for playing with their phone?
"What a bunch of idiots." Kasim said disdainfully as he watched them packing up, cigarette in hand.
Walter asked, "Kasin, where's the boss?"
"He slipped away!" Kasim said, "He climbed over the wall from the sculpture garden and thought I didn't see him."
Walter heard this and said, "Khedira followed, right?"
"Of course! Call him on Channel 4." Kassin said, "The boss has been quite troublesome lately. Alfred, why can't you be as loyal to Batman as Alfred is to Batman in the comic books? You can't even handle such a small matter?"
Alfred hurriedly said, "Mr. Cassin, you're really wronging me. How can I make my own decisions on a matter like this without consulting my boss?"
Kasin said disdainfully, "If you agree to a raise on the boss's behalf, that's definitely not going to work. But if you fire them on his behalf, I think the boss won't be angry and will even think highly of you. After all, you're considering things from his perspective."
Alfred was about to explain when Walter interrupted him: "Alfred, although I don't understand what a butler should do, I think since you are the boss's butler, you should be the first to negotiate with the gardeners when someone makes unreasonable demands to the boss. But you didn't negotiate and directly pushed the problem to the boss. What does this mean? Do you want to be a good person or do you intend to make the boss accept this condition? The last maid who came to your butler school had problems, and this time it's the butler's problem? If you feel that this place is not suitable for you, you can tell the boss directly, there is no need to be so roundabout."
Upon hearing this, Alfred hurriedly waved his hands: "Mr. Walter, Mr. Kassin, you really misunderstood me! I admit that I was indeed negligent in my work this time. This kind of situation will definitely not happen again!"
Walter laughed and said, "The boss always says: No one is a real fool these days. If you don't want to be the bad guy, let the boss be the bad guy? To be honest, I almost thought we'd say goodbye."
Kasin said: "Me too."
Alfred broke out in a cold sweat. Walter and the others knew Xiao Peng better than he did. The fact that they said so showed that he was in real danger today. He almost ended up like those gardeners!
"I made an undeniable mistake this time," Alfred said. "This kind of problem will never happen again."
"Don't tell us that, we're just colleagues." Kasin had just finished speaking when his phone rang. He picked up the phone and found a photo inside. He took a look and said in shock, "What the hell is going on, boss?"
"What's wrong with the boss?" Walter said quickly after hearing this: "Let me see!"
Kasim handed the phone to Walter. Walter took a look and froze in his place. After a while, he uttered two words in standard Chinese:
"Fuck!"
