Road to becoming the wealthiest: Starting From Treasure Hunting in the Cabinets-Chapter 66 - Everyone Gets What They Need

“Miss Selena, you know it’s not easy for us Chinese people to survive here. Many people are hostile to us. Even though we love peace and are willing to contribute to the construction of New York, our yellow skin is considered a sin by some!

In order to survive and develop here, I need something that can deter those enemies in critical moments… ”

Before he could finish, Selena understood.

Sean wanted to chat with Edward and take a photo together so it could serve as a deterrent to those who might harbor ill intentions.

It was a natural thing for someone to do.

Even though Selena had not experienced this kind of thing herself, it did not prevent her from knowing that what Sean said was true.

Selena’s tone softened:

“I’ll inform Mr. Edward about this situation. But Edward is just the Deputy Governor and doesn’t have much power. Besides, quite a few congressmen have attitudes towards China… ”

Sean hurriedly said:

“Miss Selena, I know that it’s a bit extravagant to change the status quo. All I want is a photo to pull out at critical moments that might be helpful. I promise not to use it illegally… ”

After hanging up the phone, Sean clenched his fist!

“I did it!”

He wanted to call Joanna right away to share the good news, but decided to wait until he got the photo tomorrow.

Jason came to tell Sean:

“Boss, dinner is ready.”

Seeing Sean happy, Jason was also pleased.

The income for the day was more than what some wage-earners made in a week! At this rate, he would be able to move to a better place before long!

After dinner, they returned to Aunt Susan’s house, where Sean noticed that the damaged areas had been repaired.

Aunt Susan was sitting at the entrance basking in the sun. Seeing Sean return, she smiled and said:

“Sean, you’ve had a busy day!”

Sean gave Susan a bag of buns he got from Freya:

“Madam, these are Chinese food buns made by the sister of one of my employees. Please have a taste!”

“Alright, I’ll try it.” Susan was delighted, “You know, my resistance to delicious food is very low.”

Sean thought to himself, of course I know, your waistline is almost twice mine, I would definitely know!

The next day, Sean went to the port to pick up Jason and, following the address Selena provided, met with her first.

Selena checked the spider brooch first, and after confirming it was genuine, she took Sean and Jason to the place where Edward worked.

To be honest, it wasn’t a big place, more like an ordinary office.

“When you go in, wait for a while. When I call for you to go in, you can. I hope you won’t waste time, as Mr. Edward’s time is precious.”

Selena mentioned some precautions.

Sean was dressed formally, in a suit, tie, and leather shoes. Selena looked him up and down several times, noticing that he looked different compared to when he was at the warehouse.

It had to be said that Sean’s current appearance made him look quite successful.

After they entered, Selena led Sean to a waiting room. In no time, he was called in.

Anxious, Sean handed his mobile phone to Selena and gestured for her to take photos.

Selena glanced at Sean’s phone and pursed her lips, indicating that she would use her own new one.

Sean felt that this was fine too, so he went into the office that Selena had pointed out.

Sean had searched for Edward’s picture yesterday. He was afraid that Selena would try to trick him since he didn’t know Edward.

Fortunately, the person sitting behind the office desk looked exactly like the Edward from the photos.

Sean greeted him:

“Hello, Mr. Edward.”

“Hello, young man.” Edward stood up, smiled, and shook hands with Sean. “I heard that you wanted to talk to me about cooperation. I’m very curious.”

Sean broke out in a sweat, as the cooperation talk was just a cover; he only needed a photo.

However, Sean was somewhat prepared and said after sitting down:

“Well, this is what I’m thinking: China and Beautiful Country are currently the biggest trade partners.

There are a large number of containers coming from China every day and a large number of supplies being shipped out of Beautiful Country. I want to build a freight yard in New York, one of the largest ports in the world, specifically for Chinese goods, for centralized management, and to facilitate transportation and procedures…”

Sean spoke a lot, and Edward listened with a smile.

Of course, whether it entered Edward’s mind was another matter.

After talking for about seven or eight minutes, Sean finished and Edward said with a smile:

“This is indeed a good idea. But how do you plan to do it, young man?”

“Me? I want to start by contracting a freight yard and starting from scratch.” Sean’s mind raced, and he replied, “After all, the beginning is always the hardest!”

“Yes, that’s a very good saying!” Edward stood up. “It’s good that young people have vigor. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can find me through Selena. I hope that unpleasant things won’t happen again.”

Sean stood up, knowing it was time to wrap up the meeting.

“Thank you for your support, Mr. Edward.” Sean bowed slightly and turned to leave.

After leaving, Sean suddenly remembered that he hadn’t paid attention to whether Selena had taken photos or not. If she hadn’t, he would have to shamelessly go back and take some!

Selena held up her mobile phone and showed Sean the photos she had taken, putting his mind at ease.

Sean truly felt relieved.

Next up was selling the spider brooch.

“Here’s fifty thousand dollars.” Selena handed a check to Sean. “Actually, you’ve kind of helped Mr. Edward too.”

“How so?” Sean was curious and wanted to ask about the details.

“You better not pry.” Selena shot him a glance, but her glare lacked harm and was even somewhat seductive.

“Could it be about political donations?” Sean suddenly asked.

Selena was taken aback:

“How did you know?”

Sean smiled, appearing enigmatic.

How did he know? Of course, he had found out on the internet.

Sources of unknown income, unclear expenses – his opponents naturally wouldn’t let go of this point.

When Selena asked Sean to sign a receipt for 100,000 dollars, he immediately realized that he had guessed correctly.

However, it didn’t concern him. Selena sent the photos to Sean, and both of them got what they wanted. Perfect!
