Chapter 1688: Attacked

1688

"We will pay Mr. Xu three times the company's transaction fee as liquidated damages as stipulated in the contract..." Brooke also wanted to seize on the fact that the school was willing to pay liquidated damages to clear up his case. As a result, someone immediately shouted, "Dean Sir, is it possible to completely ignore the spirit of contract when it comes to money? If this is the case, then who will dare to cooperate with our school in the future?"

"Mr. Dean, our country advocates the idea of ​​liberal democracy, and our market is completely free. The reason why the market can be free is because we value the spirit of contract. How can the school not value the spirit of contract so much?" someone else shouted. road.

"Students, please be quiet!" Martin stood up at this time. He raised his hand and pressed it down while saying loudly, "The school is in full compliance with the contract. It is precisely because of the spirit of the contract that the school We gave them three times the liquidated damages as compensation, didn’t we?”

Martin's words actually made the scene quiet a lot, because what Martin said directly hit the point. Giving three times the liquidated damages was also a manifestation of respecting the spirit of the contract.

Seeing that the scene became quiet, Brooke quickly said, "That's right, we agreed to pay three times the liquidated damages to compensate Mr. Xu. Our accountant will send them the money soon. Today's auditorium will Used by Mr. Martin to promote their new movie. Mr. Martin's new movie will be released on Christmas night. The content is very shocking. You can learn more about it today! Mr. Xu, I hope you can ask your people to bring your things right away. Leaving the auditorium, we have prepared another auditorium for you to use free of charge."

"Go away." Martin looked at Xu Taiping coldly and said.

"Mr. Brooke, I would like to ask, why can Martin forcibly take away the auditorium we booked in advance? Is it just because Martin is white and we are yellow?" Taiping Xu asked loudly and solemnly.

This question immediately made the atmosphere in the entire venue explode. You must know that more than 80% of the venue are Chinese studying abroad. The biggest fear of studying abroad is being discriminated against. The current issue of Xu Taiping was directly addressed. The problem has been directed towards discrimination, and Lu Damin has already explained it before, so it is natural that the atmosphere suddenly explodes at this time.

The explosion in the atmosphere made Brooke instantly become more nervous. He looked at the excited and noisy students and said quickly, "We are not discriminating against anyone. In fact, the reason why something like this happened today is... Mainly because the teacher who signed the contract with you was not rigorous enough. Before signing the contract with you, we actually reached a verbal agreement with Mr. Martin, but we didn’t have time to sign the contract. As a result, the teacher who signed the contract with you did not know it. I signed a contract with you under such circumstances. I can only say that it was an accident."

Brooke's explanation was not satisfactory, and the noise at the scene became louder and louder.

At this moment, Xu Taiping suddenly said, "In that case, Mr. Brooke, can I make a request? As long as you agree, we can waive the triple liquidated damages."

"What request?" Brooke asked.

"Since the school has decided to let Martin direct their promotion, there is nothing we can do. However, I hope that after Director Martin's promotion is over, we can continue to promote here. It is impossible for Director Martin to promote for a whole day, right?" Xu Taiping said.

"No." Martin said coldly and arrogantly from the side, "We have reserved this place for one day. Do you want to publicize it? Then go outside."

"As you can see, Director Martin said no." Brooke shrugged helplessly.

"Is it true that you won't give us any time?" Xu Taiping asked.

"I will never forget everything I encountered in China, Xu Taiping. If it were in China, maybe I would have nothing to do with you, but this is the United States, this is my territory, and I will never let you feel comfortable in the United States. Stay there." Martin stared at Xu Taiping and whispered.

"Okay!" Xu Taiping sighed, and then shouted to Guo Yunpeng, "Yunpeng, let's go, let's go somewhere else!"

"Okay!" Guo Yunpeng nodded, then greeted the people from the on-site film team, and followed Xu Taiping out of the auditorium.

Not long after, Xu Taiping and others disappeared in front of Director Martin.

Seeing Xu Taiping leave in despair, Martin felt extremely happy. He said to the people around him, "Okay, let's get ready to start promoting our movie!"

"yes!"

Not long after, all the promotional things that Xu Taiping and his team had arranged before were cleaned up and replaced with promotional posters, billboards and other things for Martin and his movie. Then, Martin's team started to promote the movie, that is At this time, the entire auditorium suddenly became noisy.

In the crowd, everyone was chatting and playing without restraint, and the sound was very loud. There was a buzzing sound in the entire auditorium, and even the host's speech on the stage could not be heard clearly.

Martin looked at the yellow-skinned people in the auditorium and knew that this was deliberately arranged by Xu Taiping, but he didn't take it seriously. In fact, he didn't really care about publicity. He had only one goal, which was to prevent Xu Taiping from publicizing it. , he has contacted many friends in Los Angeles. The next promotion of Xu Taiping's movie will be very difficult. Martin's influence in Los Angeles is still very huge.

The propaganda went on amidst the noise.

At this moment, Martin's cell phone suddenly vibrated.

Martin picked up the phone and answered the call.

"Director, I just received news that Xu Taiping's team was attacked not long after they left the auditorium!" the other end of the phone said excitedly.

"Attacked?!" Martin was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Attacked by who?"

"I don't know, but what is certain is that many people in Xu Taiping's team were injured and are now in the hospital. Hahaha, director, this is really great. Now Xu Taiping and the others are going to The promotion can’t go on, right?” said the other end of the phone.

"What is this called? It's called God's eyes!" Martin said with a smile, "When I was in China, I was insulted by Xu Taiping in every possible way. When I arrived in the United States, Xu Taiping didn't even think about it, haha!"

After hanging up the movie, Martin felt so happy. Although he didn't know who attacked Xu Taiping's team, he was happy because Xu Taiping was unlucky!

At the same time, on the other side, there was a hospital in Los Angeles.

Everyone from Xu Taiping's team is in this hospital, and many people have been admitted to the ward.

"How is everyone's situation now?" Xu Taiping stood at the door of the ward and asked Guo Yunpeng.

"It's okay, it's just some skin injuries. This time it's mainly about acting. Everyone knows that they also know the severity of their actions. We cooperate very well. Everyone's emotions are very high now." Guo Yunpeng said with a smile.

"High?" Xu Taiping was stunned.

"Yes, when I heard that Martin was going to be framed, everyone wished they were the ones to be beaten." Guo Yunpeng said helplessly, covering his forehead.

"Hahaha, it seems that everyone is still thinking about the overall situation!" Xu Taiping smiled and patted Guo Yunpeng on the shoulder and said, "I have already sent the photos of us being attacked back to the country, and there will be media in a while Come here to take photos and collect evidence, remember, don’t let anything slip, just follow what we planned before!”

"I know!" Guo Yunpeng nodded.

At this moment, Jennifer came over from a short distance with several cameramen and reporters.

Jennifer's expression seemed a little anxious. She came to Xu Taiping and asked, "What's the situation now? Are any of you injured?"

"They are just minor skin injuries," Xu Taiping said.

"That's good!" Jennifer nodded, and then said, "I brought my colleagues from the TV station here. I already know about what you encountered at Annington University. I will definitely let people know about this matter. Exposed, by the way, do you know who the attacker is?"

"I don't know, but... this matter, in my opinion, is inseparable from Martin. Martin, I don't know why, he always regards me as an enemy. The last time he was arrested in our country We have been under siege before, I think this time it must be because he wanted to avenge the last time, so we were attacked!" Xu Taiping said seriously.

"Are you sure it's Martin?" Jennifer asked.

"I'm not sure. The producer of our movie and I walked relatively quickly at the time and were out of touch with the main team. After we received the news that our team was attacked, I rushed back, but it was still too late. The other parties have all run away, but we have already called the police. If the police catch the attacker, they may be able to know who attacked us!" Xu Taiping said.

"Okay, I'll ask my colleagues to interview those of you who were injured first, okay?" Jennifer asked.

"Well, okay, Yunpeng, take them there!" Xu Taiping said.

"Okay!" Guo Yunpeng nodded, and then walked into the ward next to him with the people Jennifer brought.

"I didn't expect that you would encounter something like this when you just came to Los Angeles!" Jennifer sighed.

"Hey, there are always people who don't wish us well!" Xu Taiping said helplessly.

"These colleagues of mine will definitely expose the whole thing. Don't worry. By the way, our school will have an alumni meeting in the afternoon. All the well-known alumni from Anlington University will come. Do you want to also Go take a look? Although these people have left the school, they still have influence on the school. It might be helpful to get to know them," Jennifer said.

"Afternoon? Let's see, what time is it?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Two o'clock in the afternoon!" Jennifer said.

"If you have time, go. If you don't have time, don't go!" Xu Taiping said.

"good!"
