693 There are no bad guys in the strict sense of the word

As a multi-ethnic migrant country, southern Africa pays special attention to the problem of racial discrimination, especially in the Transvaal, Nyasaland and other states where the Chinese are predominant, and pays more attention to this issue.

Nyasaland's regulations are also very strict, and the state government has even set up a special monitoring committee to regulate and supervise the behavior of the government and the people, although the impact of Erwin's case is not large, but the nature is very bad, if Favart Steel Company holds on to it, then Erwin will lose his job at the RAND Bank, and even bear criminal responsibility.

George Bell, the general manager of the RAND Bank in Xuanji City, was a member of the supervisory committee, and the day after Erwin apologized to Daniel, a special meeting of the RAND Bank's Xuanji City branch was held to re-emphasize the issue.

"Gentlemen, ladies, I have reminded you many times that even if your neighbor is a bastard, you can only scold him in your bedroom if you want to, and you must control your own volume, so that you can't jerk your neighbor to hear, otherwise if you cause a dispute, not only will you have to bear the corresponding legal responsibility, but the bank will also punish you internally, and the loss of your job is a trivial matter, and if it affects the bank's reputation for personal reasons, then you must bear all the losses caused by it-" George Bell spoke, Keeping his eyes on Erwin, who was on pins and needles, the RAND Bank also had an internal supervision department, and if this matter was known to the headquarters, George Bell would also be in trouble.

"I'm sorry sir—" Erwin said Ai Ai, but was interrupted by George Bell.

"Erwin, you don't need to apologize to me, you need to apologize to all your colleagues, as well as the RAND Bank, the 182 staff members of the entire Xuanji City branch have worked hard for ten years to achieve the reputation of our RAND Bank in Xuanji City, we are civilized service, customer first, elegant environment, actively participate in various social activities, everyone is working hard to maintain the honor of the RAND Bank, but look at what you have done? Can't get used to your German neighbor and engage in verbal and violent attacks? Your colleagues Norman and Yanni are both Germans, do you have a problem with them as well? My grandmother was also German, so I don't deserve to live in the UK? "George Bell is firing on fire, even if he discriminates against Africans, this is political correctness, and it is absurd and funny that white people actually discriminate against each other.

Erwin was sweating profusely, Norman and Yanni were both executives of the RAND Bank, Yanni was sitting opposite Erwin, staring at Erwin with angry eyes, and the hand holding the water glass was shaking, it seemed that if it weren't for the fact that this was in the conference room, it would be very difficult to pour her head and face over.

Norman sat at the other end of the long table, leaning back in his chair and looking at Erwin with his chin in one hand, his gaze behind the lenses dangerous.

"Maybe you ignore the fact that in our RAND Bank, Irish is also a vulnerable group, and you are the only one in this room who is Irish, according to your logic, can we also join forces to carry out verbal violence, or quietly isolate you, exclude you, and apply to the headquarters to transfer you to India, are you willing?" George Bell really can't figure out why there are such stupid subordinates, the boss of the RAND Bank is Chinese, the general manager is French, and the deputy general manager is Boer.

"I'm sorry—" Erwin repeated the sentence with his head bowed, looking pitiful at this point.

But the poor must have something to hate, and no one has pity on Erwin, and he deserves it!

"George, I must state my attitude, I can't accept working with such a person, if some people continue to stay in Xuanji City, then I apply to be transferred to another city, and it doesn't matter if Walvis Bay-" Yanni, who is dressed in professional clothes and has short hair and neat hair, is less than thirty years old but has already served as a senior appraiser, and she also has the identity of Ada's niece.

Don't ask why a Frenchman has a niece of German descent, ask a European grandmother.

"Me too!" Norman Supplement, his position as Senior Finance Manager, is dominated by professors at the University of Nyasaland.

Walvis Bay has now established a branch of the Rand Bank, but because of the complicated situation in the region, no one has been willing to go in the face of the threat of war, and now Yanni and Norman have expressed their preference to go to Walvis Bay to create a situation rather than live with Erwin, which is similar to forcing the palace.

"Don't be like this, Yanni, you are a beautiful symbol of our Xuanji City branch, we can't do without you-" The passers-by who were hanging high above their own business woke up like a dream, and Jerome, the second-level account manager, tried to ease the atmosphere.

At RAND Bank, the second-level relationship manager is equivalent to the branch vice president.

According to the regulations of the RAND Bank, the branch level in Nyasaland is equivalent to a branch, and then the level in Xuanji City is almost a branch.

However, Xuanji City has a special status, so the level is also a branch, and the same situation is also Port Edward, Johannesburg, Cape Town, these cities are all separate branch levels.

"Jerome, I'm not kidding!" Yanni corrected seriously.

"Okay, okay, my fault, I'll reflect—" Jerome immediately admitted his mistake, but his attitude was still not good enough.

George Bell didn't speak, watching Erwin wait to make a statement, and now the situation is obvious, Erwin can't get through easily.

In front of everyone's eyes, Erwin said with difficulty: "I have apologized to Daniel in person, and have been forgiven by Daniel, I really didn't mean to target Yanny and Norman, everyone said that I was a bastard, and I have realized my mistake, but my hatred for Germany is not out of nowhere, my grandfather and my father, my two uncles were all killed in the war with Germany, they gave everything for the country, but only received a meager pension, I studied hard and worked hard to leave Ireland and come to Nyasaland, Just so that I don't have to repeat the tragedy of the previous generation in me—"

Erwin's eyes were red as he spoke, his voice was a little choked, the atmosphere in the conference room was almost frozen, Yanni finally let go of the hand holding the water glass, and Norman sat up straight.

"Nyasaland makes me feel at ease, my wife and children live here, everything here fascinates me, I've fallen in love with Nyasaland and want to spend the rest of my life here – but I didn't expect that even if I ran to Nyasaland, I still couldn't escape the shadow of the war, the newspapers were full of propaganda, the factories were working around the clock to produce all kinds of weapons and ammunition, the army and the police were practicing to deal with emergencies, depositors were starting to exchange cash for purchases, I admitted, I was scared, so I'm sorry, I'm really sorry - "Erwin deeply reflected, no snowflake is innocent during the avalanche, and the confidence of the people in the federal government in Southern Africa, as a regime that has only emerged for less than a decade, needs to be strengthened.

"But Erwin, that doesn't excuse you from hurting anyone else." George Bell could accept Erwin's explanation, but that didn't mean he had forgiven Erwin's mistakes.

In fact, there are very few real bastards in Nyasaland, those real bastards were found out and driven out of Nyasaland early, those who came from the Far East were repatriated to the Far East, those who came from Europe were repatriated to Europe, and those from other states were simpler, and they were thrown directly on the train and left to fend for themselves, and they could not settle in Nyasaland at all.

"I know, so I'm going to accept any punishment and just want to stay on our team—" Erwin still has feelings for Rand Bank.

In fact, even if Erwin leaves the RAND Bank, he will be able to find a new job in Xuanji City.

Like the RAND Bank, the Imperial Bank also has a branch in Xuanji City, and several new banks have emerged in southern Africa in recent years, such as the South African Bank headquartered in Rhodesia, the Cape Bank headquartered in Cape Town, and the Pacific Bank headquartered in Port Edward, etc., these banks have branches in Xuanji City.

George Bell rubbed his face and called the meeting to end, then left Yanny and Norman and Jerome for a closed-door meeting, apparently to discuss what punishment should be given to Erwin.

Erwin was in mourning, and he returned to the office still in a heavy mood.

"Come on Erwin, it's not terrible to make mistakes, it's a real man to get through." A colleague came over to comfort Erwin, things are so strange, Erwin, who obviously took the initiative to provoke the incident, now looks like a victim.

"Thanks—" Erwin was depressed, not yet knowing what to face, but now Erwin could relate to Daniel's feelings.

More people didn't care about Erwin, a few employees in the open office got together and whispered, and when they saw Erwin, they immediately dispersed, but the pity, anger, and indifference in that moment still made Erwin feel sad, the price of racial discrimination was too great.

The mornings, which were usually too much to finish, had become more leisurely, and the others were still busy, and Erwin felt like he had been forgotten, and the door had not been opened since he entered the office.

It wasn't until lunchtime at twelve o'clock in the afternoon that George Bell arrived at Erwin's office.

"Erwin, you can stay at the RAND Bank, but you're going to give two months' salary to the Department of Defense and a hundred hours of community service, would you like that?" George Bell's words surprised Erwin.

"Of course, I do!" This is a lesson that Erwin will never forget.

George Bell nodded, patted Erwyn on the shoulder, and turned to leave.

Erwin had barely breathed a sigh of relief when George Bell's secretary came to Erwin with a large stack of papers, which were supposed to be done in the morning.

Erwin had never thought folders were so cute.
