"According to the contract, we will pay Mr. Xu three times the amount of the company's transaction fee …" Brooke wanted to make sure the school was willing to pay the penalty fee to clean up the matter, but someone else immediately shouted, "Mister Headmaster, don't tell me that in front of money, you don't care about the spirit of the contract at all? If that's the case, then who would dare to work with our school in the future? "
"Mr. Dean, our country advocates the idea of free democracy, and our market is completely free. And the reason why markets are free is because we value the spirit of contracts. How can schools not value the spirit of contracts?" another voice shouted.
"Students, please calm down!" Martin stood forward, pressing down while raising his hand. He said loudly, "The school is entirely in accordance with the contract. It's precisely because of this spirit of contract that the school compensated them three times the penalty, right?"
Martin's words made the scene quieten down. Martin's words were directly on the main point. Giving three times the penalty was also a sign of respecting the spirit of the contract.
Seeing that the scene had quieted down, Brooke hurriedly said, "Exactly, we agree to pay three times the penalty to compensate this Mr. Xu. Our accountant will be calling them soon. Today's auditorium will be used by Mr. Martin to advertise their new movie. Mr. Martin's new movie will be released on Christmas Eve. "Mr Xu, I hope that you can get your men to bring your things out of the auditorium immediately. We've already prepared another auditorium for you to use."
"Scram." Martin looked coldly at Xu Taiping and said.
"Mr. Brooke, I would like to ask, why is Martin able to forcefully take away the auditorium that we booked beforehand? "Is it because Martin is white and we are yellow people?" Xu Taiping asked loudly with a serious face.
One must know that more than 80% of the people present were Chinese who were studying abroad, and what they were most afraid of was being discriminated against. With Xu Taiping's current problems, the problem was directed towards discrimination.
Looking at the students who were clamoring excitedly at the scene, he hurriedly said, "We don't discriminate against anyone. In fact, the reason why such a thing happened today was mainly because the teacher who signed the contract with you was not strict enough, before signing the contract with you, we had already reached a verbal agreement with Mr. Martin. It's just that we didn't have the time to sign the contract yet, yet the teacher who signed the contract with you signed it without knowing about it.
Brooke's explanation was not satisfactory, and the clamor grew louder and louder.
At this moment, Xu Taiping suddenly said, "Since that's the case, Mr. Brooke, may I make a request? As long as you agree, we don't need the three times penalty fee."
"What request?" Brooke asked.
"Since the school has decided to let Director Martin and the others to advertise, we have no choice but to do so. But, I hope that after Director Martin finishes the promotions, we can continue to advertise here. We can't possibly let Director Martin publicize the program for the entire day, right?" Xu Taiping said.
"No." Martin said arrogantly from the side, "We have already reserved this place for the whole day. You want to advertise? "Then let's go outside."
"You saw it too. Director Martin said no." Brook shrugged his shoulders helplessly.
"You're really not giving us any time at all?" Xu Taiping asked.
"I won't forget everything that happened to me in China. Xu Taiping, if it was in China, maybe I would still be helpless against you, but this is the country of Mi, and this is my territory. I definitely won't let you live comfortably in the country of Mi." Martin stared at Xu Taiping and said softly.
"Alright!" Xu Taiping sighed, then shouted at Guo Yunpeng, "Yunpeng, let's go somewhere else!"
"Alright!" Guo Yunpeng nodded, then called over the people from the film crew and followed Xu Taiping out of the auditorium.
Not long after, Xu Taiping and the rest disappeared from the front of Martin.
Watching Xu Taiping leave dejectedly, Martin felt really good. He said to the people beside him, "Alright, you can start promoting our movie now!"
"Yes sir!"
Not long after, all the promotional items that Xu Taiping and his team had prepared were completely cleaned up and replaced with posters, billboards and the like from Martin and his team. Soon after, Martin's team started the promotional activities for the movies.
Within the crowd, everyone was chatting without restraint. The sound was very loud, and the entire auditorium was buzzing with noise. Even the host was not able to hear them clearly.
Martin looked at the yellow patches of people in the auditorium and knew that Xu Taiping had purposely arranged this, but he did not mind. In fact, he did not care much about advertising, he only had one goal, and that was to not let Xu Taiping advertise. He had already contacted many of his friends in Luo City.
The promotions continued amidst the noise.
At this moment, Martin's phone suddenly vibrated.
Martin picked up his cell phone and answered the call.
"Director, I just received news that Xu Taiping's team was ambushed not long after they left the auditorium!" the man on the other end of the phone said excitedly.
"He was attacked?!" Martin was stunned for a moment and then asked, "Who attacked?"
"I'm not sure either, but I'm sure that a lot of Xu Taiping's team members were injured, and they're in the hospital right now. Hahaha, director, this is great news! Now the rest of the promotions won't go on, right?" The voice on the other end of the phone said.
"What's this called?" The heavens have eyes! " Martin laughed and said, "In China, I was insulted by Xu Taiping in every way. In the Mi Country, Xu Taiping can forget about him, haha!"
After hanging up the movie, Martin felt really good. Although he didn't know who attacked Xu Taiping's team, he was still happy when Xu Taiping got unlucky!
At the same time, on the other side of the hospital, Luo City …
Everyone in Xu Taiping's team was in this hospital, and many of them were in the ward.
"What's the situation now?" Xu Taiping stood at the door of the ward and asked Guo Yunpeng.
"It's okay, it's just some superficial wounds. This time, it's mainly an act. Everyone knows that their actions are serious, so we coordinated very well. Everyone's mood is very high right now." Guo Yunpeng said with a smile.
"Expensive?" Xu Taiping was stunned.
"That's right. When they heard that they were going to frame Martin, everyone wished that they would be the ones to be beaten." Guo Yunpeng said helplessly while covering his forehead.
"Ha ha-ha, it seems like everyone has a good perspective!" Xu Taiping patted Guo Yunpeng's shoulder and said, "I've already sent someone to send back the photos of us being attacked back home, and the media will come over later to take their pictures for evidence. Remember, don't tell them to leak it, just follow our previous plan!"
"I know!" Guo Yunpeng nodded.
Just then, Jennifer walked over from a short distance away with several cameramen and reporters.
Jennifer looked a little anxious. She came up to Xu Taiping and asked, "What's the situation now? Are any of you injured? "
"It's only a slight superficial wound." Xu Taiping said.
"That's good!" Jennifer nodded, then said, "I brought my colleagues from the television station over. I already know about what happened to you guys at the University of Anlington, so I'll definitely expose you. Oh right, who was the assailant, do you know?"
"I don't know, but. For some reason, I don't know why he always treats me as his enemy. The last time, he was surrounded by people in our country, I think this time, it must be because he wanted to avenge us, that's why we were attacked! " Xu Taiping said seriously.
"Are you sure it was Martin?" Jennifer asked.
"I'm not sure. At that time, I walked away pretty quickly with our movie's producers, so I broke off ties with the big team, and when we received the news that our team was attacked, I rushed back, but it was too late, the other party had already escaped, but we've already called the police. If the police caught the assailant, they might know who attacked us!" Xu Taiping said.
"Alright, I'll let my colleagues interview your injured colleagues first, is that alright?" Jennifer asked.
"Mm, alright. Yunpeng, take them with you!" Xu Taiping said.
"Alright!" Guo Yunpeng nodded and led the people Jennifer brought into the room.
"I didn't expect that you would encounter something like this the moment you arrived in Luo City!" Jennifer exclaimed.
"Sigh, there's always someone who doesn't think of us as good!" Xu Taiping said helplessly.
"My colleagues will definitely expose the whole matter. You don't have to worry, there's going to be an alumni meeting in our school in the afternoon. The ones who are coming are all famous alumni of the University of Anlington, do you want to go and take a look as well?" Although these people have all left school, they still have some influence over the school. It might be a little helpful to get to know them. " Jennifer said.
"Afternoon?" What time is it? " Xu Taiping asked.
"Two o'clock in the afternoon!" Jennifer said.
"If you have time, then go. If you don't have time, then don't go!" Xu Taiping said.
"Alright!"
(This chapter has just been written, so I'll start with another one at one o'clock. I've already mentioned it in the book earlier, but today's update is in the afternoon.) This is the first time I have encountered such a situation. I have to write more these few days, so I will be back to normal next week.)
