Chapter 27 This is not surrender, it is provocation
Xiao Peng asked in confusion: "Olivia, do you have something to talk to me about?"
Although he had met Olivia many times, they basically had no communication. Why would Olivia take the initiative to look for him?
Olivia called him to a deserted place, and Xiao Peng felt puzzled.
"Olivia, what's so mysterious?" he asked puzzledly.
Olivia looked a little embarrassed, and after a moment's hesitation she said, "Actually, I came here for my brother."
"Your brother? Who?" Xiao Peng was confused.
Olivia said the name: "Pierre Béjart."
Xiao Peng was stunned for a moment before coming to his senses: "Are you talking about Pierre from David Beach? He's your brother?"
Olivia nodded.
Xiao Peng frowned slightly: "It's been so long, and I still haven't received the registered letter."
Here, dismissal isn't a straightforward process. First, the company sends the employee a registered letter with a receipt, scheduling an interview. After that, the dismissal letter is issued, and there's a "notice period" to allow the employee to find another job. This entire process can take over an hour, but it all starts with receiving the registered letter.
Xiao Peng had been having so much fun during this period that he had forgotten all about this matter! Now he remembered that, yes, he hadn't received the registered letter yet!
After hearing this, Olivia said, "Xiao, my brother actually knows he was wrong. He acted too impulsively! He wants you to go back to David Beach."
Xiao Peng suddenly laughed after hearing this. Olivia asked in confusion, "Xiao, what are you laughing at?"
Xiao Peng said, "I know what Pierre is facing right now. David Beach can't find any employees with a Class 3 diving certificate willing to work as ocean cleaners. Those with Class 3 qualifications are unwilling to do it, and those who are willing to do it don't have the qualifications! Now he's in trouble!"
Olivia was silent for a moment, then nodded. "Xiao, you're right. You know David Beach is one of the most visited beaches in Marseille. With more visitors, there's also a lot of trash. It hasn't been long since so many people complained about the marine debris problem!"
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Many people have heard that Pierre is so determined to fire me. He must have found someone more suitable for the job! I wish him a bright future!"
"But if this goes on, Pierre will be out of a job!" Olivia said anxiously, "It's not easy for him to find such a decent job!"
Xiao Peng interrupted her with a smile: “Olivia, I’m unemployed!”
Olivia hurriedly said: “Xiao, Pierre is embarrassed to call you, but you can go back to work at any time!”
Xiao Peng was stunned after hearing this, and then he laughed, but his smile was not very friendly.
The Marseilles say the Parisians are arrogant, but they're really nothing themselves! Good man, you're almost out of work, and you're not even trying to find Xiao Peng to be soft-spoken, and you're using your sister as a middleman? What the hell are you thinking?
Olivia looked at Xiao Peng: "Xiao, why do you look like that?"
Xiao Peng raised his fingers and made the number eight sign. "Pierre has been the beach director at David Beach since this spring, and in just five months, he's issued me eight tickets!"
Olivia looked a little embarrassed: "Pierre has high requirements for his work..."
"That's a lot of shit!" Xiao Peng cursed. "He charged me 20 euros for finding a cigarette box in the ocean! With such a huge ocean, who can guarantee that all the trash will be found?"
"But they pay you well there too," Olivia said. "As far as I know, you're the highest paid ocean cleaner in Marseille!"
Xiao Peng sneered, "Why don't you say I'm the best beach cleaner in Marseille? Do I need to say anything about the work attitude of the people here? I wouldn't be angry if you didn't mention this, but did you know that Pierre revised my work contract? I was supposed to be working part-time cleaning for Nova Beach, but the revised contract states that if I go, I have to pay 47,437 euros in compensation! I don't even know how he calculated it, even with whole numbers and decimals! He's made me lose 1,700 euros a month!"
Olivia smiled wryly and said, "Xiao, you have to understand. This is a tactic of business competition."
Xiao Peng gave a thumbs-up. "Well said! After Pierre did this, all the beaches followed suit and revised their contracts to prohibit seabed cleaners from working part-time at other beaches! Now it's a one-size-fits-all situation. Some beaches can't hire nighttime seabed cleaners and are forced to work during the day, significantly impacting business. Isn't this considered shooting themselves in the foot?"
Olivia said, "My brother is still young and doesn't think things through. You have to give him a chance."
Xiao Peng was dumbfounded after hearing this: "As far as I know, Pierre is 37 years old, right? He's still a child?"
Olivia stared at Xiao Peng: "Xiao, you are not going back anyway?"
Xiao Peng nodded: "Of course!"
Olivia sneered after hearing this and said, "Xiao, with all due respect, you haven't thought things through clearly. I know that if Pierre really fires you, there will be several beaches willing to hire you, but what will you do if Pierre never gives you a notice of dismissal?"
"According to the contract, I will happily go to David Beach every month to collect my salary of 815 euros." Xiao Peng said with a smile.
"No! You don't understand!" Olivia said, "That also means you haven't terminated your contract with David Beach and can't do other work!"
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "I'm not going to starve to death, so I don't have to work."
Shit, isn't that why Pierre bullied me and docked my salary all day? Now that I'm rich, who the hell gives a shit about you!
Olivia was stunned. She didn't expect Xiao Peng to answer like that. After thinking for a moment, she suddenly understood: "Is it because you know acupuncture and massage techniques? But as far as I know, you don't have a medical license in France. I forgot to tell you that I'm also a supervisor at the Marseille Regional Health Administration! If you really want to make trouble, I'll keep an eye on you!"
Xiao Peng looked at Olivia like a fool. He really wanted to show her his savings! Who was he looking down on?
Just as he was about to speak, he heard a sudden exclamation and the strong smell of cheap perfume wafted over. Xiao Peng turned around and saw a girl dressed in garish clothes and heavy makeup running towards him. Seeing Xiao Peng, she turned around and jumped into Xiao Peng's arms and kissed him hard on the face: "Xiao! I look forward to this day every month! Oh, I've been feeling so bad lately. You must give me a good check-up today!"
This girl is from Eastern Europe and her name is Maria. Of course, this is a pseudonym! There are a lot of prostitutes here who use the name of the Virgin Mary as a pseudonym.
Xiao Peng put Maria back on the ground: "Maria, I'm sorry, I can't volunteer for you today."
"Why?" Maria asked puzzled.
Xiao Peng pointed at Olivia and said, "She's going to sue me for practicing medicine illegally!"
