Chapter 349 What Do You Think?
Alvin couldn't be more satisfied with what Steve and Robert did!
Wesley Alvin doesn't know much about him, but Robert must know how to explore his potential.
Steve pulled Harry close to him, which was the best thing to do. This is a young man who is unwilling to be lonely. He is already strong enough. What he needs to do most now is to develop the ability to face setbacks.
At this point, Harry is much worse than Peter, Wesley, and Shang-Chi.
Born into poverty, the past life of Peter and Wesley was a history of blood and tears. Setbacks are really not a big deal to them. What's better about Peter than Wesley is that he has an uncle who loves him, so he is always optimistic and always faces life with a positive attitude. Wesley, um~ don’t say anything!
Shangqi is different. He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his willpower is definitely the best among the four. Although his father was a bad guy himself, he cultivated the purest spirit of a martial artist in Shang-Chi. Apart from the headache of always wanting to be a charlatan, Shang-Chi is almost impeccable.
In fact, if Alvin were to rank them among the four, Shang-Chi should be the one ranked first.
With his superb skills and firm will, when he holds a sharp weapon, everyone here except Alvin himself has to weigh it.
Peter is still just an enthusiastic child. Everyone likes him very much. In terms of potential, he must be the greatest. But it's still far away.
Facing Harry's miserable state and Frank's sneer, Peter hid behind his breath in distress. Being beaten was really not a good experience.
Shangqi looked at his little brother's misfortune and couldn't bear to let him get beaten.
It was understandable that Steve would be upset when he beat Harry. At first, when Harry was a little carried away, he wanted to beat him too. The kind of nouveau riche that suddenly becomes rich from the poor can only be eliminated with fists.
Robert beats Wesley, hmm~ It seems like he doesn’t need a reason!
But why did he and Peter also get beaten?
Shangqi strode to the center of the restaurant, looked at Alvin in confusion, and shouted: "Boss, why do you want to beat us?
Tell me the reason. If it's because we went out and beat up some gangsters who were causing trouble for the Big Dog Food Truck, then I'll take the beating from Peter. Those were all my ideas! "
Alvin grabbed Frank, who wanted to beat up these guys who were trying to reason first, and smiled at Shangqi and said, "You think you should not be blamed for doing good things, right?"
Shangqi nodded firmly and said, "Yes, those Brooklyn gangsters always blackmail Archie and the others. We want to get back the stolen money for them. What's the problem with that?"
Alvin didn't answer Shang Qi's question. In fact, he didn't know much about what these boys did. He had listened to Shang Qi's words before and instinctively felt that these boys were going to do something bad, so he called Old Kent. I got a rough idea of what happened. I found out that they did something stupid, which led to what happened now.
Besides, as a principal like me, do I need a reason to beat you up?
Patting Old Kent on the shoulder, Alvin said with a smile: "Old man, tell these silly boys what they did. Then I'm going to beat up this bastard!"
Old Kent, who had been smiling all the time, took a sip of whiskey, stood up straight, and said with a smile: "There is definitely nothing wrong with your ideas. In fact, everyone here likes you guys."
Shangqi looked at Old Kent angrily and said, "Since we have no problem, why do we still need to be beaten!"
Old Kent got angry and spread his hands, saying: "You have no problem. You helped Archie and the others get back $500 and vented their anger. But this month, Archie and the others need to pay $1,500 to get rid of those gangsters." Don’t go to their food truck and cause trouble.”
Shangqi frowned and said incredulously: "Why? Are those gangsters crazy? Are Archie and the others stupid? They can come and notify me."
Old Kent shook his head and said with a smile: "Tell you, and then you go and grab it back and beat those gangsters up at the same time?"
Old Kent glanced at Peter and said, "You are doing good things, but it's useless! In fact, you are causing more trouble for Archie and the others. Every day, several gangsters make trouble near their food truck, and their losses are far more than $500.”
Shangqi turned around in a circle very irritably, and said with some confusion: "Did we do something wrong? What should we do?"
Old Kent glanced at Alvin and said to Shang Qi: "We have our own solution, but it depends on whether Alvin is willing for you to learn from me. I guess you can't do it."
Shangqi looked at Alvin and said with some discomfort: "Boss, I want to know! Did we really do something wrong?"
Alvin shook his head, sighed, and said with a smile: "I don't blame you. In fact, Archie and the others won't blame you either. Everyone knows that you have good intentions.
But those gangsters won't just trouble Archie and his food truck. When your recklessness causes losses to those who don't understand you, and when those people start to hate you, do you still think what you are doing is meaningful?
Don't always think that you have done good things. Being a "hero" doesn't mean you can say you are a "hero" just by shaking your fists and beating up a few gangsters. Nowadays, you can't do good things without using your brain! "
Alvin likes this kid Shangqi very much because he can see the purest chivalrous spirit of China in him. This will make him feel so connected!
But the disadvantage of "heroes" is that they always only want their own temporary happiness. They generally don’t care too much about what happens in the future!
Therefore, in many stories, the final result of the "hero" who is not the protagonist is not very good, and there are very few guys who have a happy life! Because bad people are afraid of them and ordinary people don't like them. Superheroes are really no different.
Holding his head in discomfort, he looked at Alvin in confusion and said, "Then we did something wrong? But we ~ we want to help!"
Alvin walked up to Shangqi, put his arm around his shoulders, and said, "You must have good intentions, and people who are familiar with you will not accuse you. Because we are a family.
But there are always others who will hate you, just like I hate that Colin, she meant well, but she deceived herself and did stupid things. You should know all of this.
Can you bear this consequence? are you ready? "
Alvin hugged Shangqi and turned to Peter and the others, saying, "I don't care about other people, but are you really ready?
Everyone here cares about you, and beating you is definitely not the purpose. We want you to think more before doing "good things". Harry is the exception. His father is causing trouble for me, so I use the simplest method to deal with him.
In fact, I hope you will become a "good neighbor" of Hell's Kitchen and do something that is not so dangerous but can really help others. "
After hearing this, Shangqi squatted on the ground holding his head and said dejectedly: "I took Peter's beating for him, but after the beating, can you tell me how you handled it in the end! I'm still a little unwilling to do so!"
Peter came over very loyally, squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, and said to Shang Qi: "We did stupid things together, so let's get beaten together! I hope Frank will be gentler!"
Frank shook his head and smiled bitterly and poured himself a glass of whiskey. With these two boys like this, who could beat them?
Alvin looked at the unwilling boy in Shangqi, kicked him on the butt, and then punched and kicked the stubborn boy in anger.
After the whole person felt comfortable, Alvin said to Old Kent: "Tell these bastards to stay away from these things in the future."
Richard touched Nick next to him and whispered: "Principal Alvin is so cruel! They are so miserable when they are angry! Do you usually get beaten?"
Nick glanced at Richard and said: "Alvin is scary, you have to be careful, otherwise your dad in jail can't save you! Just like my dad can't save me!
Why? Where is your nanny? Did she just leave you here? Call your dad and fire her! "
Richard glanced at little Ginny who was leaning on her waist to cheer for his father, and said with some envy: "It doesn't matter, I like it here! I have to train myself to be stronger when I have time, so that I will feel better when I get beaten. . Do you think if I ask Steve, he will agree to teach me how to box? Steve is really good!"
Nick patted Richard on the shoulder like a little adult and said: "No problem, as long as you want to learn, I will accompany you to find Steve. I am the introducer of his current job, and Steve will do it no matter what." Give me some face, haha!"
Old Kent walked up to Shangqi and the others with a smile, stretched out his hand to pull Shangqi and Peter up, and said with a smile: "Principal Alvin will definitely not be happy for you to learn from me, and I don't think you can do it at all!"
Shangqi pursed his lips and said stubbornly: "Then let's see how you do it? There is nothing in this world that is completely impossible."
Old Kent shook his head helplessly and said: "People in Hell's Kitchen are more accustomed to the existence of gangs than people anywhere.
In the early days, Archie and the others only needed to pay US$500 a month to start a business in a down-to-earth manner. They have no complaints because that's the way the world is.
You took action to get back the protection money they paid for everyone. Those gangsters can't do anything to you, but they can get it back even harder from Archie and the others! You can't look there forever, right? "
Old Kent said, patting his breathless shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Do you know what I did?
I went to find the gang boss, gave him their license plates, and told them to stay away from Archie and his friends in the future.
As for other people, that has nothing to do with us because they are not our own. Principal Alvin is right, they hate you! "
Shangqi looked at Old Kent in disbelief and said, "Is it that simple?"
Old Kent smiled cruelly and said, "Of course not, I used an electric drill to make a hole in that son of a bitch's knee, pulled off one of his ears, and broke four of his fingers before we could talk.
They're just some lowlife punks, it's not that hard!
In the past, when they asked for $500 a month, we didn't really mind because it wasn't necessary. This is the rule of the underground world, and they can even help ward off some minor troubles.
But when they start asking for $1,500, the situation is different because they step on the line! "
Shangqi frowned and asked, "What will you do if he continues to cause trouble for Archie and the others?"
Old Kent glanced at the frightened Peter, grinned, and said, "What do you think?"
