Leonard looked at Zhang Chi and said with a smile: "You are the BOSS. If you meet my conditions, then I will definitely get the best results for you."
After speaking, he reached out and patted Zhang Chi's arm: "Go home and have a good rest. You must be very nervous these days. Go back and have a good sleep. I will go back to prepare for Cannon."
"ok"
Zhang Chi nodded, and then watched Leonard get into the car.
It wasn't until Leonard disappeared from his sight that Zhang Chi withdrew his gaze, opened the door and got into his car.
After closing the door, Zhang Chi did not start the car immediately, but held the steering wheel in a daze with both hands.
This guy is a bit reluctant to part with his own money. After all, his work has been in vain this year, and almost all of the money he earned has gone into this matter.
Think about 300,000 U.S. dollars. Zhang Chi had saved for more than ten years to save 100,000 U.S. dollars. Now he was suddenly forced to lose money. Zhang Chi's heart was bleeding.
"Damn it, I don't get along with you, you idiot! Damn it, I didn't throw your child into the well!"
Zhang Chi thought of his first servant, and his teeth itched with hatred.
After patting the steering wheel for a while, a bunch of Chinese curses came out of his mouth. After three or four minutes, Zhang Chi felt better.
Zhang Chi is not saying that he regrets it and is reluctant to hold on to the money. If he were asked to do it again, he would do it again. Of course, he has to scold people. He was given away so much money. He is not a Bodhisattva.
, can bear this tone.
Go back to sleep? Think about who can sleep with 300,000 yuan!
Zhang Chi drove directly to his uncle's house.
It was just in time for dinner. The restaurant was very busy. Zhang Chi directly helped his uncle and aunt with their work. They had been busy for almost an hour and a half. All the guests had left and the three of them sat at the table.
, and started eating.
"Is the matter over?" Zhang Youliang looked at his nephew and asked, then put a large chicken drumstick into his nephew's bowl.
The aunt saw the problem and asked: "Is there something unsatisfactory? What accident happened?"
Zhang Chi shook his head: "My matter is over, but Cannon's matter has just begun. I asked Leonard to help him recruit technical talents. It is estimated to cost 200,000."
Zhang Chi told his uncle and aunt about the matter.
"Two hundred thousand?" The aunt took a breath.
"Well, two hundred thousand." Zhang Chi nodded and said, "Including legal fees and other expenses, I guess all the money I earned this year will go into it."
Zhang Youliang was stunned for a while, thought for a moment and said to Zhang Chi: "Do you regret it now?"
"regret?"
Zhang Chi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I don't regret it at all. I just feel sorry for the money. How can I not feel bad if someone robbed me of 300,000 yuan?"
Zhang Youliang laughed loudly after hearing this and said, "You actually did a good job in this matter."
"What's so good? Didn't Dachi get the money from a little bit of hard work?" Gu Ying, the aunt, glared at her husband.
Zhang Youliang said: "What do you old ladies know? I really didn't expect Dachi to have such courage."
"Courage? My heart is almost in knots now," Zhang Chi said.
Zhang Youliang said: "What is money? Money is something that a bastard can make after losing it. But people have gone from bad to worse in this world. If you are just for money, it would be meaningless. Especially for us Chinese, we always have to have some in our bodies."
Chivalrous. Look, don't look at me. This is what my uncle told me when I came out, that is, your grandpa. Now I see you have a bit of Ren Xing in you."
Zhang Youliang's perspective on the problem is naturally different. If he were an ordinary person and had kept Zhang Chi by his side for so many years, he would have kicked him out long ago.
Zhang Chi didn't know how to answer his uncle. Can chivalry cost 300,000 yuan?
Seeing his nephew's expression, Zhang Youliang said: "I'm not sure whether what you did this time will win everyone's respect, but I believe that most Amber people will appreciate what you did. Everyone thinks you are a worthy person."
Only when you make friends with people can you truly gain a foothold in Amber.
This man, most fools want to look smart, but in fact they don’t know that no one really likes to deal with smart people. You have taken advantage of it. You use me as a gunman from time to time. What if you changed it?
Are you willing to make such a friend?
Of course, first of all, choose a friend who is loyal and can help you when you are in trouble. If you choose a friend who is smart and starts to weigh things up when encountering problems, what is the difference between having you as a friend and not having you as a friend? "
Zhang Chi understands these principles, and he also knows that what he did this time will definitely be praised by Mr. Amber, but he lost 300,000, which is real money flowing out of his pocket, and it cannot be done with just a compliment.
To smooth out such wounds.
After eating, Zhang Chi left his uncle's restaurant.
Zhang Youliang watched Zhang Chi leave, smiled and said to his wife: "This silly boy is still worried about his money. He doesn't know that what he will get in the future may not be bought with money."
"If it comes to you, at Dachi's age you probably won't be able to cry well," Gu Ying said to her husband with a smile.
"When I was his age, I didn't have the ability to earn more than 300,000 yuan a year," Zhang Youliang replied with a smile.
Zhang Chi drove back to the town.
When I was about to turn a corner, I saw two cowboys in front of me. These two cowboys were quite old, forty or fifty years old. They were both white and old-school cowboys with big hairy beards.
.
"George, where are you coming back from?"
Zhang Chi sat in the car with the windows closed and didn't hear what they said, only saw their mouths move.
Zhang Chi was quite surprised now, because these old cowboys didn't like to talk to him when they saw him in the past.
These cowboys are not ordinary cowboys, they are resident cowboys, and they are not resident cowboys on small ranches. The ranch they work on has more than 20,000 acres.
They don't simply work on this ranch. They have been working on the same ranch for several generations. They have been working here for several generations as the owners of the ranch have been passed down for generations.
They have more than just a simple employment relationship with the rancher. They have formed a logging gang with the rancher, which is a special family relationship.
They are more loyal to ranchers than temporary cowboys, and ranchers have far greater responsibilities to them than ordinary hired cowboys. Although their wages are not high, their benefits are quite good. They are somewhat similar to our state-owned enterprises, but the differences between them
The connection is closer.
These cowboys are all old-school, and they look down on many people and things. To outsiders, they seem to be still living in the feudal era, but they don't care, and their children's education is mostly old-school.
This group of people naturally looked down on Zhang Chi, not to mention Zhang Chi, and most likely they also looked down on the nearby small ranchers. Except for small bars, they almost never left the ranch and didn't care much about outside affairs.
In this case, if you could wave your hand before, it would be considered very friendly to Zhang Chi, but today you are talking to Zhang Chi?
So Zhang Chi opened the car window and parked the car next to their horses.
"What's the matter?" Zhang Chi asked doubtfully.
"We asked you where to come back from?" the old cowboys repeated with a smile.
The smile on the old cowboy's face made Zhang Chi even more confused, but there was no expression on his face and he said: "You just came back from Folsom, what are you doing?"
"What else can we do? Go back to work on the ranch."
"George, good job!"
These cowboys won't talk too much nonsense with you. Most of them usually can't beat a fart with a stick. Today, they can talk to Zhang Chi for a long time. It seems to Zhang Chi that the sun is rising in the west.
Zhang Chi nodded vaguely, and then watched the two people ride away.
Zhang Chi was left confused and didn't know what happened.
Something happened?
Zhang Chi turned the car and drove towards Kimberly's small bar.
Arriving at the door of the bar, Zhang Chi met two cowboys coming out as soon as he stopped the car.
"Well done, George".
"..."
Zhang Chi was still a little confused.
Entering the bar, Zhang Chi suddenly saw people in the bar applauding him.
"What's going on?"
Zhang Chi first smiled at everyone, then sat next to the bar and asked Kimberly.
"Everyone knows that you helped Cannon apply for a work visa, and everyone admires your courage." Kimberly said with a smile and said, "I'll buy this bottle of beer today."
Zhang Chi understood now and took advantage of the situation to put the coins in his pocket: "Oh, it's nothing. Cannon did a good job on my side, and now that something happened to me, I will do whatever I can."
This guy never mentioned anything. Before entering, he stroked his aching heart and thought about the three hundred thousand dollars.
Many cowboys here work illegally, not to mention Zhang Chi. Even the big ranches don't care whether they live or die, and these big ranchers have much more money than Zhang Chi.
A small ranch like Zhang Chi's would pay a large amount of money to apply for a work visa for a cowboy. They had never thought about it before. Everyone here is only focused on making money. They will give you a bonus of three to five hundred when they are usually busy.
He is considered a first-class good person. He even gave you a work visa. Are you awake?
It is precisely because of this that when everyone heard that Zhang Chi was going to apply for a work visa for Cannon and let him stay at his ranch, there was a lot of envy.
Not only the black working cowboys, but also many resident cowboys think that Zhang Chi is more responsible and a man who is brave enough to take responsibility.
Cowboys always think about things from the position of a cowboy, whether they are on the field or not.
"How did everyone know this?"
Zhang Chi thought for a moment and felt that he had only made the decision a few hours ago, so how come everyone knew about it.
"Nel said that Leonard asked some of them to testify for you, and Nel happened to be drinking here at the time," Kimberly said.
What Kimberly didn't tell Zhang Chi was that when Nell heard the news, he thought Leonard was talking nonsense. Not only Nell, but everyone sitting here thought George was crazy. How much money does he make in a year?
As for the ranch, two or three years of hard work have been in vain.
But everyone turned around and began to admire Zhang Chi. Who doesn't like to have such a righteous person by his side?
Just as Zhang Youliang said, everyone has eyes and hearts and can clearly see what you have done.
