Daisy handled the bail procedures for Val.

Val walked out of the police station door dejectedly.

Luke's grandfather Robert was waiting outside the gate, and it was he who paid the bail.

There are not many people in the United States who can afford bail of tens of thousands of dollars at once, but Robert is still very capable.

Val sighed and didn't dare to look at his father, "Sorry, I messed up again..."

The storm did not come as he imagined, Robert patted Val on the shoulder,

"It's not your fault, it's that there is something wrong with this society. Everything is measured by money, and things that should be taken seriously are in vain.

In the final analysis, it is the inaction of the judiciary, the bullshit zero-dollar purchase, and a group of slackers who took taxpayers' money. They are the culprits of this matter, and they condoned the crime.

You're just doing your job."

Robert did not blame Val this time, but instead affirmed his behavior.

Robert was a little angry when he heard this at first, and instinctively wanted to beat his son, thinking that the boy was in trouble again.

But he was very surprised to learn that his son was now working in a supermarket, because based on his understanding of Val, it was impossible for this kid to work as a shopping guide in a supermarket.

This is a big change for Val, which is good in a sense.

As a father, he would be happy to see similar changes in Val.

Of course, this is not to say that Robert supports beating people. He also thinks that hitting people is wrong. As a supermarket employee, hitting people in the workplace during working hours is an immature performance.

It may bring certain risks to the company.

But Val's situation was different.

Robert knew his son well. It was a huge change for him to work in a supermarket. If he didn't support him at this time, he might not have the chance to change in the future.

The question for Val now is not whether he can do it well, but whether he will do it.

As long as Val is willing to do something, Robert will encourage him instead of criticizing his various shortcomings, which would dampen his enthusiasm at the beginning. According to Val's character, he will definitely return to his normal state of being lazy and lazy.

At that time, it was no longer a question of whether it could be done well, but Val simply gave up.

Val was stunned and looked at his father with wide eyes. This was the first time in so many years that his father encouraged him.

Val was worried that his father still didn't understand the situation, "Dad, although it was indeed that bastard who struck first, I did beat him and was falsely accused by him of intentional injury."

Robert said, "I know that the kind of bastard who robs the supermarket is really hateful. If it were me, I might do the same thing.

Moreover, no one can do it well at the beginning. As long as you are willing to do it and learn, I believe you will get better and better."

Val's eyes were red and he was a little moved.

After receiving his father's approval, he felt that all his efforts during this period were worth it.

Linda smiled and said, "What a scene of deep love between father and son, I haven't seen it for a long time.

NO, I have never seen it before.”

Robert smiled and looked at the brown-haired beauty next to Luke, "Hey, you must be Daisy.

Even more beautiful than I imagined, thank you for coming to help Val."

Daisy said, "Luke also often mentioned grandpa, saying that he was a rich and cool old man."

"Haha, I like this metaphor, it's very vivid."

Linda glanced at her watch and said, "I haven't eaten since noon, and I'm almost starving.

I suggest that we change places first, fill our stomachs first, and then discuss Val’s matter.”

Later, Luke found a fast food restaurant.

In the private room, Luke asked solemnly again, "Val, there are no outsiders here. To be honest, are you sure it was the other party who made the first move?"

"Of course, I'm sure. He was the one who grabbed my neck first. I know the seriousness of this matter and will not lie about this issue."

Luke nodded, "OK, after dinner, let's talk to the person in charge of that supermarket."

Val hesitated, "The beating had nothing to do with the supermarket. It was entirely my own behavior."

Daisy interrupted Val, "I still said what I said before, you are an employee of the supermarket, and the place where the beating happened is also in the supermarket. Whether it was at the instruction of the supermarket or not, they are jointly and severally responsible for this matter.

It’s not something you can carry if you want to.”

Val was a little worried, "If I find a supermarket...will I lose this job?"

Daisy said, "We are not looking for trouble when we go to the supermarket, but we are looking for solutions together.

Avoiding will not solve the problem, since the supermarket is already involved.

Only through timely communication and a unified consensus between both parties can this problem be better solved.

In addition, if this matter is not resolved, even if you take it upon yourself, you will still lose your job in the supermarket.

If you are deemed to have intentionally caused harm during working hours and place of work, not only this supermarket, but also other supermarkets and even companies in other industries may not dare to hire you.

So the issue now is not to think about work, but to do your best to prove that your actions were legitimate defense."

The credit system in the United States is still very strong.

Why are there so many homeless people in the United States? Are they all too poor to afford renting a house?

not necessarily.

Being poor is only one aspect.

Even if the economy improves and some people have some money, it will be difficult for them to rent a house.

The reason is probably that they have defaulted on rent in the past. As long as there is a default record of rent arrears, it will be recorded in the credit system.

All landlords can be checked.

Basically all landlords will check the customer's credit record before renting out a house. Once there is a record of defaulting on rent payments, many landlords would rather leave the house vacant than rent to such a person.

At this point, the United States has done a good job, and the interests of landlords and tenants can be protected to a certain extent.

This is also the reason why many middle-class Americans are unable to recover. Once there is an economic problem, there will be a record of default.

His overall credit will be hit, which is a joint impact. Many simple things will become very difficult, and it will be even harder to turn around.

In other words, if Val is convicted for this incident, finding a job will become a luxury for him in the future.

Robert also realized the seriousness of the problem, "Since Luke and Daisy have said so, then go ahead, there is no need to hesitate.

Although you have brought some trouble to the mall, it is also to protect the interests of the mall. From another perspective, the mall also needs responsible employees like you.

If every employee was as responsible as you, there would be no so-called zero-dollar purchases, let alone similar ridiculous legal measures."

Robert patted his son on the shoulder, "Val, be tougher and straighten your back like a man. You did nothing wrong.

I will support you from behind."

Val was moved and nodded, "I understand."

Robert shook his head and continued to warn, "No, you don't understand. When you enter the supermarket, you must hold your head high and your chest high. When the employees in the supermarket look at you, you must face them without fear.

Yes, let all employees know that you did nothing wrong and that you are a hero.

On the contrary, if you go to the supermarket with your head down and timidly, the employees will look down on you and think that you did something wrong and they are right.

That’s how this bullshit world is, most of them are snobs.”

Val raised his head and shouted back, "I understand."

Robert raised his thumb and said, "Very good, I'm proud of your growth."

…

Figuero Supermarket.

Val walked into the supermarket with his head held high, followed by Luke and Daisy.

Many employees saw him, some nodded, some showed surprise, and some whispered to each other.

A uniformed black supervisor came over and said, "Val, are you okay?"

"Well, I'm just out on bail temporarily."

The black supervisor shook his head and sighed, "You are too impulsive."

Val originally wanted to admit his mistake, but thinking about his father's words, he didn't respond.

Daisy said, "Hello, I am Val's lawyer, what is your name?"

"I am Thomas, the manager of the supermarket."

"We want to meet the person in charge of the supermarket to talk about Val."

Thomas, the black supervisor, looked at Daisy and then at Val, "Okay, please wait a moment."

The black supervisor took out his cell phone to make a call.

After a while, he hung up the phone and waved, "Follow me, the general manager is waiting for you in the office."

Soon, the group arrived at the general manager's office.
