Chapter 69 -69: Hold on!

After class, Joanna hurriedly ran out with her books as her classmate Kardashian stopped her and asked:

“Where are you going?”

“Home, I have something to do.” Joanna rushed off.

When she got home, she saw her parents getting ready for dinner, so she immediately washed her hands and sat down at the table.

“Why are you back?” Her father Robert asked in surprise, “No more classes this afternoon?”

“Not that, I want to show you a photo.” Joanna suppressed her excitement, took out her mobile phone, and enlarged the photo for her parents to see.

“This is… Lieutenant Governor Edward?” Robert was very familiar with the political figures of New York State.

“Yes, it’s him.”

“Who is the young man?” Mother Angie guessed but still asked directly.

“That’s my boyfriend, Sean.” Joanna was past being shy, “He’s discussing port-related issues with Mr. Edward. They are friends…”

Joanna didn’t continue, but the meaning was clear.

Sean was not a man without a foundation; he could talk and cooperate with the senior officials of New York State!

Robert frowned and said:

“This photo doesn’t prove anything. It could be fake…”

“No, absolutely not!” Joanna trusted Sean and immediately interrupted her father:

“Sean would never do that. Besides, he mentioned that the cooperation started with Ms. Selena, the personal assistant of Lieutenant Governor Edward. If you don’t believe it, you can check!”

Joanna had a lot of confidence!

Robert sighed and said:

“Alright, I’ll verify it. Joanna, I don’t want to ruin the happiness you’re pursuing. I just feel that Chinese people are unreliable…”

“Dad! That’s prejudice!” Joanna argued confidently, “Sean is not that kind of person!”

“Alright, alright!” Robert’s attitude softened. If Sean could really get along with Edward, it wouldn’t be a bad opportunity for him.

After all, the person who supported him was just a city councilman.

Some things required multiple preparations.

Joanna got the satisfactory result for now, happily finished her lunch, and then went back to school.

On the way, she couldn’t wait to call Sean:

“Sean, tonight, I want to come over.”

“Alright!” Sean was overjoyed when he heard that, “Did you convince your parents?”

“Yes.” Joanna described, “They never thought you’d know Lieutenant Governor Edward. My dad said he still needs to verify it, though.”

“Don’t worry, let him verify it. Do you want me to pick you up tonight?”

“Okay.”

After hanging up, Sean heard the sound of a police whistle on his end.

The freight yard owner didn’t dare to do anything illegal. Once the specimen container was auctioned off, he called the police.

Elder and Little Joey, who bought the container for 8,100 dollars, grumbled about the freight yard owner as they moved the specimens. They knew there was no alternative.

Even if it were themselves getting these items, they would need someone to confirm if there were any prohibited hunted animals.

Sean looked out and saw a policeman carrying an antelope specimen into a police car, then he handed Little Joey a piece of paper as a clearance.

Sean asked:

“How’s it going? Did they take one?”

Little Joey shrugged helplessly and said:

“One protected animal. Who would have thought that such a cute little sheep was forbidden? Luckily, I didn’t kill it.”

“At least there’s enough left for you guys to make a big profit!”

“Not bad!” Little Joey smiled and looked at the box under Sean’s feet, “What about yours?”

“Mostly ordinary toilet seats. I should be able to break even.” Sean sighed.

“Still better than Mr. Madden!” Little Joey laughed, “He got nothing in his container. He lost big this time!”

The two laughed knowingly and began to pack up their things.

Sean gave Mr. John a call, and after knowing it was about toilet seats, Mr. John directly asked him to contact Angela.

The shopping center where Angela was located catered to common people, so it accepted various items without being picky.

Sean got through to Angela, and she answered the phone quickly:

“Sean, have you missed me?”

Heh, women!

Sean naturally knew that this woman was acting so ambiguously only because she wanted to get something cheap from him. Thinking about Joanna tonight, he felt that his ability to resist temptation was super strong now!

“I have a batch of toilet seats here, do you want them?”

“Yeah, but they’re not worth much.”

“What if half of them are intelligent?” Sean lowered his voice and said, “Branded goods, from Japan.”

“Send me a picture!” Angela immediately said, “Are they all brand new?”

“Yes, unopened, you can come and inspect them!”

“Send the picture first!” Angela urged.

Sean walked into the container, tore open a packaging box, pulled out an intelligent toilet seat, and took pictures from different angles and sent them.

Soon, Angela called back:

“How many are there? I’ll take them all!”

“Let me see…” Sean counted, “There are thirty-five intelligent ones and two hundred regular ones… If you want them, take them all in a package.”

“Well…” Angela considered for a while and said, “Thirty-five thousand US dollars.”

“No, at least forty thousand!” Sean didn’t expect Angela to be so ruthless.

“Thirty-six thousand dollars, that’s a very reasonable price!” Angela pleaded softly.

Sean didn’t fall for this trick, but since it was a negotiation, he countered:

“Thirty-nine thousand and five hundred dollars. You know what? I have to support a lot of people, and I paid more than twenty thousand dollars for this container alone, you can’t make me lose money on this deal!”

Jason rolled his eyes on the side.

Their own Bosuns lied without even bothering to make up a draft!

“Alright, thirty-seven thousand dollars!”

After a bit of back-and-forth, the two finally settled on thirty-eight thousand six hundred dollars.

Sean estimated that with just the intelligent toilet seats, Angela could make about five thousand US dollars.

However, the cycle might be longer.

Angela came in a van to pick them up, and Sean went outside the container, slowly moving the regular toilet seat covers.

Gradually, the treasure hunters in the freight yard left, leaving only Sean and Jason.

Soon, Angela drove the van in.

As soon as she got off the car, Angela inspected the toilet seats, especially the thirty-five intelligent ones, taking a close look at each one.

After checking them, she gave a rough look at the regular toilet seat covers and then said to Sean:

“Sean, I think you are really lucky!”

“Heh, maybe.” Sean neither confirmed nor denied, “Pay up!”

Angela paid the money somewhat reluctantly, and Sean pointed at the container and said:

“There’s not much garbage inside. Clean it up, and then tell the administrator at the entrance. I’m leaving first!”

Without waiting for Angela’s answer, he turned and left.

Jason hurriedly followed.

Watching his back, Angela stomped her feet resentfully. This guy was really impervious to oil and salt!

Didn’t he want to chat with her at all? Or was she not within his aesthetic range?

Sean was in a hurry to go to Jason’s home for dinner. He was hungry after being busy all morning.

Then, the phone rang.

He glanced down and saw that it was from Monica Brown.

What’s going on?
