"Okay, auntie, I'll ask about it later." Henry said and agreed.
Amity's mother gave Henry a grateful look.
The roads of Mountain City were well-known around the whole country for being complicated. If someone were not familiar with them, they would definitely get a headache while driving here.
It had been a long time since Amity came to Mountain City, and she was familiar with all the roads here.
At nearly twelve o'clock in the afternoon, Amity drove to the place. It was in the countryside.
Now in many places, the environment in the countryside was much better than in the city. Not only was the air fresh, but also the houses were big. People would spend two or three hundred thousand yuan on building a two-floor house. The only downside was living a bit far from the city centre.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, they heard the firecrackers roaring. The red flowers made of red silk hung hundreds of meters from the entrance of the village, which made the atmosphere even more festive.
Almost everyone in this village was related. This time, they were celebrating somebody's 80th birthday, so it was an exceptional occasion.
Henry really hadn't experienced this kind of atmosphere before. Sitting in the car, he looked back and forth curiously. Listening to the sound of beating gongs and drums. He was also in a good mood.
Amity stopped the car. As soon as her mother got out of the vehicle, many people came to greet her.
Many people were envious of the BMW driven by Amity. The fact that Amity was now working as a manager in the World Hotel made some young people in her hometown jealous.
"Ah, Sister Amity, who is this handsome guy?"
"That's right. I've never seen him before."
When some young people saw Henry, they immediately asked Amity with ambiguous eyes.
The face of Amity was red with shame. "This is Brother Henry, my..."
When she was about to say "my friend", the middle-aged woman, who came with the three people, opened her mouth first. "This is Henry, Amity's boyfriend. He helped Amity and her mother get the job. He is mighty."
Henry had just promised the middle-aged woman that he would help her daughter get a job, which made the middle-aged woman very happy. Now when she met someone, she would tell them that Henry was good.
When those young people heard this, they immediately turned their eyes to Henry.
"Wow, Sister Amity, your boyfriend is so handsome. Can you help us get a job at the World Hotel?"
"Yeah. I heard that the treatment is very good, and they offer food."
"I want to work there, too."
A group of young people gathered around Henry and Amity.
Amity looked at Henry with embarrassment and didn't know what to do.
Henry smiled and said, "Well, the World Hotel has been recruiting people recently. They will come here to recruit people in advance. Anyone who fits them can start working for them. But what kind of job you will get and how you will improve there depends on your efforts."
Henry's words made these young people ecstatic. There were endless praises like "Brother Henry, you are so handsome, you are so awesome".
Henry looked at these young people. They were so simple and pure, even a very ordinary job in the World Hotel could make them so happy.
"Ouch, who is this? What is so sensational?" A strange voice came from the side, and a long- legged woman with a height of 1.75 meters, wearing a cashmere coat, came from the side.
Her cashmere coat was too much for this chilly weather. But it had to be said that this woman's figure was perfect. She was absolutely a beauty just like some social media model who could attract a lot of people.
However, Henry was not interested in this kind of influencers. He had been to the country which is famous for plastic surgery, and almost all the women there looked like this.
"Amity, this is your boyfriend? Doesn't he look a bit shabby?" The woman looked Henry up and down and noticed his cheap clothes, which made the young woman very disdainful.
"Kelly, this is your distant cousin." A middle-aged man walked out from behind the woman. The middle-aged man had a big belly and wore a golden necklace around his neck. The golden watch on his wrist was sparkling, and the key to the Benz was hanging on his waist. He had the attitude of a local tyrant.
The middle-aged man reached out his hand to hold the woman's thin waist.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
The woman looked at the man and said in a timid voice, "You're annoying. There are so many people."
"Haha, does it matter?" The middle-aged man laughed without scruple. "It is normal for a husband to hold his wife, who cares?"
Henry clearly saw that the woman's eyes flashed a trace of disgust when she looked at the middle- aged man, but she still let the man hold her with a fake smile.
"Kelly, get out of here. Who let you come back?" A man's rough voice sounded.
A man, who looked to be in his thirties, ran over with a wooden stick in his hand. When he looked at the woman, his eyes were red.
Kelly panicked when she saw the man and quickly hid behind the middle-aged man.
The man with the wooden stick was also stopped. "Brother Guo, calm down."
Standing next to Henry, Amity explained to him in a low voice, "Brother Henry, Kelly has found this middle-aged man to be her husband. Her father was so angry that he had to hospitalized because of the heart attack. The man is Kelly's brother."
Hearing this, Henry nodded.
Henry could fully understand that a young woman relied on a rich sugar daddy. In this society, this kind of thing was not rare at all. Similarly, Henry could understand the behaviour of Kelly's brother. In his hometown, many people were very respectful. Kelly's affair would definitely cause a lot of gossips. The older generation valued this very much.
The middle-aged man glared at Kelly's brother and shouted, "A group of unruly people, how dare you? I'd like to see who will dare to make a scene today. Let me tell you. I make a fortune every
minute. If you dare to do it, you won't get any compensation even if I tear down your village!"
With the middle-aged man's support, Kelly was much more confident.
"Get out! You are not welcomed here!" Kelly's brother clenched the wooden stick in his hand and said with hatred.
"Yes, get out!"
"We don't welcome you!"
Shouts were heard one after another.
"Oh, I come here to give you benefits!" The middle-aged man looked at everyone around with disdain. "My boss likes your land. Here is the housing demolition and relocation document. As long as you sign it, each family will get compensation according to the size of your house. Two thousand yuan per square metre. The old house you bought for two hundred thousand yuan can get you the compensation of up to seven hundred thousand yuan!"
The middle-aged man said as he took out a document from his pocket.
Upon hearing this, the villagers suddenly quieted down and looked back and forth. If it was true, it seemed that they were really going to get some benefits.
