Chapter 1102: 580

"The best course of action now is to leave here and head back to our large courtyard," Sean Knight said.

"Agreed," Lincoln Harrington replied.

When Sean Knight and his group arrived at Duterte Rogers’ office, the man was laughing and chatting with a beautiful girl. Seeing Sean Knight approaching, his smile widened:

"Mr. Knight, I didn’t expect you to make such a big haul this time, congratulations!"

After the beautiful woman left, Lincoln Harrington placed a stack of greenbacks in front of Duterte Rogers. Sean Knight said:

"Mr. Rogers, we have some matters to take care of on the farm right now. In a little while, we’ll come to settle the land transfer one by one. We’ll be bothering you again then."

"No problem at all," Duterte Rogers said, all smiles. "I guarantee Mr. Knight will be satisfied when the time comes."

After leaving the office building and entering the parking lot, they happened to see Stella Gray and her male companion.

Stella Gray seemed intent on saying a few words, but Sean Knight nodded at her and got into his car, signaling for Lincoln Harrington to drive off.

If you plan on being competitors in business, then there’s no point in pretending to be friends afterwards.

Sean Knight truly hadn’t expected this land auction to have such a significant impact; he even received phone calls from many people in the domestic circles inquiring about the situation.

Another impact was that from this day on, there was a steady stream of Chinese heritage people coming to seek employment.

Sean Knight left this matter to Lincoln Harrington and Douglas Cooper to handle.

Before the new batch of security personnel arrived, he didn’t plan to have any contact with the outside world.

Duterte Rogers sent word that the local gangs in the city got wind of someone who could casually bring out hundreds of millions of green banknotes and carry 500 kilograms of gold in and out, so they decided to ask him to cough up some money.

That’s why Duterte Rogers was also telling Sean Knight to be a bit more cautious and keep a lower profile.

That day, during the noon meal, Douglas Cooper couldn’t help but complain:

"Really, all sorts come around here! Today I truly learned something new!"

"What happened?" Elijah Hastings asked with a smile.

"Today, a few job-seekers came by. They were all of Chinese heritage, so we thought since we’re all compatriots, we’d ask about their skills to decide on job assignments. After all, this large farm is in dire need of workers."

"Yeah, that makes sense," Elijah Hastings nodded.

Lincoln Harrington didn’t speak, letting Douglas Cooper continue.

"Mr. Patrick interviewed a chef who once cooked food in large canteen cauldrons at school. I interviewed a man and woman," Douglas Cooper put down his chopsticks and began, "I asked the couple what skills they had, and they said they could live stream.

I was quite puzzled; why would live streaming be needed here?"

Not just Elijah Hastings, but Sean Knight was also puzzled. He figured he didn’t need live streaming at his place.

"They said they could live stream for our farm to increase its fame, attracting a large number of people from the domestic market to come here for jobs.

Besides, they also offered to promote our products for us, for instance, packaging our agricultural items as high-end goods, helping us with sales, where an item priced at ten could be sold for twenty to fifty. With the foreign label bonus, some people would be willing to buy."

"They even showed me their number of followers, claiming to be big live streamers with several hundred thousand followers domestically, talking about how it would be a win-win situation...

I told them that’s just deceiving people. They argued it’s not deception at all, many people operate that way... and they told me to keep up with the times, that’s how the Internet era works."

"Boss, what do you think..."

"And you didn’t send them packing, you want to keep them for New Year’s?" Sean Knight waved his hand, "We cultivate million acres of land, our products are sold wholesale, and besides, we’ve just started planting and haven’t seen the harvest yet. Ruining our reputation like that, how is that acceptable?"

"Got it. Oh, and there was one more oddball. A girl who came here traveling with her rich second generation boyfriend, but then the boyfriend’s family went bankrupt, and he left. The girl stayed behind. Hearing about you, she came to apply for a job, wanting to be your secretary..."

At hearing this, Sean Knight’s expression immediately darkened. What is this, looking for a fallback guy?

What kind of people are these!

"Where is she now?" Elijah Hastings asked urgently, "Where did you leave her?"

"Where would I dare to leave her? I sent her packing right away! I told her our boss doesn’t lack secretaries, especially ones like her!" Douglas Cooper said with a laugh, "The woman even scolded me outright, saying I don’t understand our boss! Even if I don’t understand, I know the boss isn’t one to take the fall for others!"

"Well done, this was well handled," Elijah Hastings complimented him, "Continue using this standard in the future."

He then turned to Lincoln Harrington:

"How about that chef you interviewed?"

"He was alright," Lincoln Harrington replied, "I asked him some questions, his cooking skills are fine, it’s just that he seems a bit somber, and I felt a bit uncomfortable.

It could be just a personal feeling, but I didn’t really like the guy. When he did a cooking test, the food he made tasted quite good, though."

"If you don’t like him, then we won’t take him," Sean Knight made the decision outright, "I think by now, you should have noticed how our intuitions, with the energy we’ve been absorbing, are getting more and more accurate.

If you feel uncomfortable about him, it’s very likely there’s something off with him. So, let’s not take any chances. We don’t need to bring big trouble upon ourselves."

"Should we bring this person in and keep an eye on him?" Douglas Cooper suggested, changing his train of thought, "If we let him go, the people behind the scenes will surely try other tactics. With our current abilities, it’s probably hard for him to notice he’s being watched."
