Chapter 1185 Bullying (1/2)

The conclusion of the discussion was that there was no problem. Su Nan's priority was to earn money to provide for his family. To him, there was no difference between going to Australia or staying in America.

”In America, it's just that I'm more familiar with Philly. However, I don't have the so-called connections or foundations for networking. The school tutor cannot give me much help, and there are only a few research students. The only reason why I want to stay here is to earn a higher salary.”

Su Nan was most concerned about whether the position was reliable. He felt that the terms were most reasonable and it was impossible for the job to still be available.

Li Du pounded on his chest and swore, ”I'm your friend, and I have exceptionally useful connections. Don't worry, if there's a problem with the position, I'll take care of it. Otherwise, I won't have the face to stay connected with our network of classmates.”

Having the guarantee from Li Du, Su Nan felt more relaxed. ”When do I start?”

Li Du said, ”Pack up your things in Philly, and you can start right away.”

Li Du planned to arrange for his old classmate to be assigned to the warehouse auction company that he and Hans handled. He intended to introduce Hans as the boss and keep his own identity under wraps for some time.

Su Nan smiled. ”What do I have back in Philly? I have brought my stuff to Phoenix. I moved everything here to get ready for the job I was going to start here. However, fortunately, in the end, I did find a job in Phoenix.”

Li Du said, ”That's perfect. Pack your things up and I'll get my friend to arrange for someone to help you with the onboarding processes. Then you can fly to Australia to meet the boss. He's now in Australia.”

He intended for Su Nan to replace Hans in his job on Seagull Island, which would allow Hans to return to the States.

He was very confident about Su Nan's capabilities. He was better suited than Hans to supervise the Lightning Ridge opal mine and the accounting responsibilities on Seagull Island. As for the task of bringing in the black gold abalone, Su Nan would only need to supervise.

The only one who would be catching the black gold abalone was the Japanese navy captain, Christie. She alone was able to complete what a few people combined could normally do. Hans was there just to deal with the spot-checks, as he had the license to catch black gold abalone.

After Li Du had bought Seagull Island, Christie was seen catching the black gold abalone on Li Du's private area at sea. The ocean patrol would no longer keep up with their checks, however, and Hans would not need to stay behind.

As his employment problem had been resolved, Su Nan's appetite improved. During lunch, he continued to drink, finishing a dozen beers.

Of course, that also had to do with the great quality of the specialty-brewed fresh beer. Typically, Su Nan would not splurge on such beer.

After drinking for some time, Su Nan became quite inebriated and fell flat on the table in front of him.

Sophie smiled. ”Seems like you have helped your old classmate to resolve a big difficulty.”

Li Du said, ”I was unaware of his situation before. Otherwise, I would have helped him a long time ago. Besides, this is considered killing two birds with one stone, right?”

He waved his hand, and Brother Wolf, who has been taking small sips of his beer, walked over. He brought along two of the others who were largest in size – Black Bull and Madman. Each of them pulled up one arm of Su Nan's.

Li Du had booked a hotel room for Su Nan, so he could have a place to stay for the time being. Li Du had wanted to help him bring his belongings over to the hotel, but he did not know where Su Nan had been staying previously.

Fortunately, Su Nan recovered from his drunken stupor pretty quickly. He woke up sometime in the afternoon and smiled. ”Sorry to trouble you, poet, did I do something wrong when I was drunk?”

Li Du smiled back at him. ”Nope, you simply fell asleep. Let's go get your luggage.”

Su Nan looked around and could tell that the new hotel must be expensive. He rubbed his hands and said, ”The place where I had stayed before is pretty good…”

Li Du said, ”You can stay here. One of my friends opened this hotel. The key thing is that this place is safe. Please don't meet with any accident here in Phoenix. Otherwise, your parents would really have no way to survive.”

That convinced Su Nan, and he brought Li Du back to his motel to pack up his belongings.
