156 Finally going home (2/2)
After spending two days traveling between the base and Niamey, Jiang Chen finally settled everything on this side.
The manager of Future Security was a man called Barkley whom he found in the talent market in Niger. Despite being only 35 years old, he already had 15 years of relevant work experience. He looked stable and trustworthy.
The labor cost in Niger was very meager, $400 USD monthly salary was already considered high in the local market. Towards such generous paycheck, the black guy was ecstatic as he promised to take care of everything with perfection.
Jiang Chen was pleased with his eagerness because it meant he could worry less about it.
With the base starting to operate on the right track, it was finally time to go home.
When they headed to the airport, they took Niger Ministry of Commerce vehicle. As a good host, the Minister of Commerce Amani personally sent them to the airport.
”We hope you come back soon, Mr. Jiang. You will always be Niger's friend.” Armani shook hands with him enthusiastically with a bright smile on his face.
$2 million worth of investment to build a road from the national highway to the undeveloped area. He had gained a lot from this friend of his from the East, and so he was naturally very enthusiastic.
”Of course, I wish our friendship will last through eternity. Thank you for your warm hospitality. Farewell.” Jiang Chen released his hand and then led Robert, Nick, and Ayesha into the airport.
After passing through security, Robert heaved a sigh of relief and rolled his eyes.
”I can finally leave this goddamn place. Heck, when I get back, the first thing I'll do is to take a nice, long shower and then go to the hospital to get a gastric suction.”
”Then spread your seeds to some Hollywood chicks?” Jiang Chen teased.
”Ahem, of course, nightlife is necessary to relieve some stress at work, you know. The next time you come to Los Santos, I'll take you to experience it.” Robert chuckled. ”What about you? What are you planning to do when you get back?”
”Shower, sleep and then rest for a few days.” Jiang Chen shrugged and sat on the chair in the waiting room. Ayesha sat right beside him, eyes looking everywhere. However, much to her disappointment, unlike the airport in Veit, there was no magazine to pass her time on.
”Don't be so boring, you have to learn to enjoy life properly.” Robert sat on the opposite side of Jiang Chen, crossed his legs, and leaned comfortably against the seat. ”Then what's the use of making so much money?”
Nick scanned the lobby of the waiting room and then headed for the coffee machine.
”Haha, how do you know I didn't enjoy myself? Let me tell you, when I made my first money, the first thing I did was to spend it lavishly,” Jiang Chen said proudly, not in the least bit ashamed.
”Oh? I didn't expect this...Haha! By the way, buddy, I've got a fun idea. Why don't we share what we did with our first money?” Robert was suddenly interested and sat up straight.
Meanwhile, Nick came over with a coffee and sat down next to Robert.
”We'll get Nick to go first.” Robert patted Nick on the shoulder while laughing.
Nick took a sip and looked at Robert with confusion. After hearing the explanation, the taciturn Slavic man gave the most ordinary statement.
”Bought a house in Los Santos and then got a dog.” As far as UA citizen's lifestyle was concerned, his couldn't be any more average.
”Okay, I take back what I said, Nick is the most boring person.” He ignored Nick's confused look and then coughed and continued, ”My turn...I remember it was five years ago, I was still helping a Mexican smuggled illegal firearms. On the day of payout, he gave me $50 thousand, and the first thing I did was...”
At this point, Robert's face went red out of nowhere, scratched his nose, as he was too embarrassed to continue.
”Ahem. Uh, I found two 16 years old high school students at the bar... In short, I got rid of my...virginity.” Robert had completely abandoned his sense of shame. He then looked at Jiang Chen, ”Ok, buddy, your turn.”
[This old pervert.] Jiang Chen laughingly thought in his mind.
”The first sum of money...” He wanted to say what happened in Sanya but suddenly halted as he awkwardly looked at Ayesha.
Uh, he seemed to be somewhat similar to Robert, the old pervert. After making money, the first thing he did was go to Sanya and got himself a lover.
Sensing Jiang Chen's gaze, Ayesha looked back at him puzzled.
However, her pure expression made it even harder for Jiang Chen to open his mouth.
Robert smirked and then whispered, ”I understand, we're all men here.”
”No, wait, my situation is a little different from yours.”[In any case, saying it's his first...]
”No, no, no, no need to explain, I understand.”
[Fu*k, what do you know!]
