Chapter 640 - : Incident at the Customs (2/2)
Xiao Luo picked up every word she said. This upset him, and he spoke to her in a native Mei nation accent with a slight smile on his face, “Do you have anything against Hua nation people, miss? Why are you targeting us?”
“Targeting you?”
The female security officer mocked, “And so what if I am? You’re all just a bunch of uneducated and poor losers!”
“Poor losers?”
A fit of fiery anger swelled in his chest.
“Am I wrong?” the female security officer asked.
Xiao Luo laughed and replied, “In 2008 when the global financial crisis hit, it was the poor losers of the Hua nation you speak about who kept the global economy alive. We injected hundreds of billions into Europe and tens of billions into Africa. Hua Nation was the country that shouldered the burden of the global financial crisis, the first to offer aid to the smaller countries, and the first country to emerge from the global financial crisis. That year, Hua Nation’s GDP surpassed that of the Mei nation.”
Yes, it had only been a year, but who can deny the Hua nation’s immense contribution to the global economy before the crisis? Did you think your Mei nation people could survive the global financial crisis on your own? No! You people relied on us for help to survive it. By the end of 2015, Mei nation had piled up a debt of USD1.2645 trillion owed to the Hua nation.”
In recent years, Hua Nation has accumulated a sizeable portion of foreign exchange reserves because of an increase in trade surpluses. Within the composition of those reserves, the Mei nation’s national debt serves as the most significant component. If we were to get technical about this, then Hua nation is the largest creditor of the Mei nation. You’re a debtor, and you dare insult your creditors and call them poor losers? How obnoxious of you, Miss!”
Xiao Luo’s words carried weight as the facts he laid out were indisputable.
A crowd had gathered to see Hua nationals make fools of themselves. Instead, they all drew in a quick breath, for Xiao Luo’s words shocked them. They all thought that this Hua national went for the jugular as he presented his facts well. The entire world knew that Hua nation people these days were really rich, and they were Mei nation’s largest creditor. Under such circumstances, this was a poignant riposte.
The female security officer’s face instantly flushed. She stood up as her embarrassment turned into a rage and pointed at Xiao Luo angrily. “You march yourself to the back of the queue right now!” she hissed. Then she gathered all of his documents and dumped them on the counter in front of Xiao Luo. Her eyes bulging with rage as she glared at him. “Scram!” she shrieked.
Resentment flashed across Xiao Luo’s gaze, but there was a slight smile on his face. “You should give me a reason for that, Miss!” he said.
“A reason? I don’t need to give you one, but if you want a reason, then it’s because you’re a damned Hua national. You’re dirty, poor, and uneducated. Dog sh*t like you should be wiped out from the face of Earth!” the female security officer spat.
She has crossed the line!
Hmm, it seems like this Hua national is really in trouble!
The international travelers who had gathered around them were all muttering to each other and shaking their heads. They were deeply empathetic to Xiao Luo’s plight. Being fellow countrymen, the other Hua nationals present were infuriated, and they felt sorry for Xiao Luo.
The smile immediately left Xiao Luo’s face. “Please call your supervisor here, Miss!” he said.
“Huh, just who do you think you are? You think our supervisor is someone you can meet just because you want to?”
The female security officer had her arms crossed in front of her chest and a nasty look on her face. “Hurry along now, scram! You go to the back of the queue. Stop holding things up for the other people who want to clear the customs, or I’ll get the police and charge you for obstruction!”
