chapter 17
17 episodes. Australian ginseng?
next day.
I had breakfast with Henry alone.
He asked when he put the scrambled eggs and bacon in his mouth.
“Have you thought about it?”
Awesome, I’ll pretend
I chewed my food roughly and swallowed it before answering.
“It’s hard to make a decision right now. I don’t know what kind of country Australia is yet, and I’ll have to discuss it with my family.”
In fact, there is still no absolute certainty about the person named Henry.
Aside from feeling like a mentor.
I’ve only recently come to Australia, but when I get an offer like this, I have some strange doubts.
I needed time to clear my mind now.
“Mr. Jean. It’s a saying from my old woman’s heart, but if you have enough money, you can live wherever you want. It means you don’t have to worry. Giving you a $10 million chip also has that meaning, so think carefully.”
I don’t know my grandpa, but if you have a lot of money, Korea is a really good place to live.
The problem is that most people don’t have the money.
“I understand what you mean. But, as Henry said yesterday, it is not a matter of choosing a country to live in. I do not want to choose easily. First, I have a working visa, so I see Australia with my own eyes and decide.”
“Hmm… Well, if you make an easy decision, it’s easy to overturn it.”
“Instead, as a Clairvoyant, I would appreciate Henry’s advice. I’ll have to think about what might be worthwhile and meaningful.”
“Okay. It’s worth spending 10 million dollars just by setting the right direction. Do you have any plans for the future?”
“Well. For now, I plan to live as an ordinary workaholic.”
This working holiday was also to be compensated for opportunities that were not enjoyed during college days.
But there’s no need to tell Henry about that.
“I will get to know Australians like that, and check the treatment and situation of Koreans here.”
Even if you become an immigrant, obtain permanent residency, and even become naturalized, that is only a part of the system.
I cannot change that I am a stranger on this earth.
Wouldn’t racism or disregard for Asians exist even in places where diversity is recognized, such as countries of immigrants and multicultural countries?
I wanted to check how much it was.
Workaholics are like foreign workers here, so I thought it was a good place to get to know each other on the floor.
– Boss, it’s bad! What is this!
It reminds me of a saying that was popular once on a gag program.
I thought that it was necessary to seriously think about the extent to which foreign laborers in Southeast Asia suffered in Korea.
Of course, I will live a rich life, not a lonely man.
Still, if Koreans were treated like that, I wouldn’t want to live.
what? Aren’t all Korean bosses like that?
Of course it is.
Still, I think so. There is a problem with satire through the mass media.
“Yeah, check it out with your own eyes. But there’s something to keep in mind.”
“What is it?”
“It is necessary to look up from below, but also to look down from above. I want to tell you not to look narrowly.”
It is.
But Henry’s eyes as he said those words were as if they were yesterday.
Why, I already know what you will choose. that atmosphere.
‘Do you think that if you were rich, you would always choose Australia?’
Does this old man have some soup?
I thought about it for a moment, but then shook my head.
It must have been said in a good sense.
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
Can I eat comfortably now?
When you open the spoon,
“Today and tomorrow, don’t make me wait too long.”
As he drank his coffee elegantly, Henry spit out.
‘Because you always say one more word.’
I remember my mother telling me to only eat rice in front of the table.

Knock. Knock.
After two stealthy knocks, a well-dressed middle-aged woman opened the door and entered.
Henry looked at her and greeted her.
“Good morning, Helen.”
“Good morning, Henry.”
Helen smiled and greeted each other and held out the payment board she was holding.
“This is the proposal of Zencock Bro Stacking you mentioned.”
Henry took the document and read it slowly.
It didn’t take long to review the contents, as it was a one-page summary.
“I… it’s a pretentious thing to say, but it wasn’t on hold before. Why are you suddenly looking for it… May I ask?”
At Helen’s careful question, Henry raised the corners of his mouth and asked.
“What do you think? About this offer.”
“Of course I think it’s right to say no. It’s a very risky business.”
“But she overcame that high risk and made a high return.”
“I know. It was because it was Lena Dainhart. That’s not to say that Henry is worse than her. I’m just concerned about Henry’s age. That way it’s going to take too long to see results.”
“Yeah. It took too long… so I put it on hold for a while.”
“Are you willing to accept the offer?”
Henry did not immediately answer her question.
Then he got up and walked towards the window and looked out at the scenery outside.
So he thought for a long time.
“Helen.”
“yes.”
“Tell them that I’ll see you there.”
“Henry!”
“Don’t worry. Everything will be fine.”
“Can you tell me the reason for your sudden decision? Henry was also negative at first.”
“I’m not sure yet, so I can’t tell you. I just have to ask you to trust me, for now.”
Clairvoyant.
Henry thought the partnership would fail if Mr. Jean did not further develop his skills.
Still, I wanted to try it.
Because he was obviously the second royal straight flush he’d ever met.
If you are a gambler, even if you have a hand like that, you cannot help but use it.
“Until he’s ready, I have to prepare myself. I think it’s absolutely necessary, so please follow me.”
“Is that so? Who are you talking about?”
“Slowly. I’ll tell you slowly, so don’t be in a hurry. Lena Dainhart, just negotiating with that Iron Lady is going to be quite a headache.”
“……”
Helen has been working as Henry’s secretary and has never seen him do anything irrational.
If Gary Parker, the former head of the group, had a genius business sense and a sense of investment, it was Henry Bearfax who supported him in the dark.
But now Henry seemed to see that Gary Parker.
‘Henry, this time I’ll do your part.’
Helen pledged to prepare a negotiation proposal with Jencock Brostacking by gathering all the group’s capabilities.
She didn’t want Henry’s last challenge, which she had been serving for a long time, to fail.
“I will prepare as directed.”
“I’ll give you some trouble.”
Henry didn’t take his eyes off the window with his back down.
Exactly on the street.
There, Jin Yu-seong, who had checked out, was heading somewhere.
‘Mr. Jean. Find out what your path is.’
It won’t be easy.
Because walking the path you want is a kind of blessing.
Henry knew that, so he was going to prepare a path worthwhile for him to walk.
to be prepared in case.
It was something he had done all his life for his best friend, Gary Parker.
“See you again.”

A backpack that came back from a stormy day.
Jinho and Hyunjeongi raised their voices when they saw me entering the dormitory room.
“brother!”
“Brother! Are you okay?”
He had been up all night, so his face looked tired.
Oh, I slept
I’m sorry for texting you.
My thoughts were complicated, so I forgot them.
“I was going to report you if you don’t come in the morning. What happened?”
“Whatever happened. I shot a movie in the VVIP room. It was really different there. The whole place was covered in gold, and among them, a mafia boss-like man was waiting for me with six or six rice cakes. Threats and threats… Why do you know that Russian roulette wheel? Was it a revolver? After emptying the gun and magazine, inserting a bullet, then turning it around and taking turns shooting at their own heads. It’s packed, it’s packed.”
“……lie.”
“Are you tired?”
I smiled and asked.
“Oh, really! We thought we were going to die of worry!”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. But it’s true that I was threatened. They analyzed that the game was recorded and said that if there is any fraud or manipulation, they won’t let it go.”
“We didn’t cheat, did we?”
“No, but I don’t know if those Chinese cheated.”
“What do they have to do with us?”
“Even if you say that, the other side thinks so. It seems that you Asians are one team. The money that Koreans won on the second floor went to the Chinese on the third floor, and as that place became a junket room, the Chinese money was also poured into you. In terms of flow, The Stars’ money seems to have flown several times. They called you here to the Force Floor to check it out.”
“Wow, it was they who invited you to the VIP room!”
Jinho and Hyeonjeong let out laughter with an expression of absurdity.
There is only one reason I lie.
I don’t want these guys hanging out in the casino anymore.
Seeing them playing last night, it was obvious that they would visit Kangwon Land even if they returned to Korea.
The memory of being beaten by a Chinese man is strong, but I will never forget the memory of easily making a billion dollars thanks to me.
I thought it would be more comfortable to wear a dandori before sending it back to Korea.
“They thought that their invitation was also part of the strategy. We made it that way. Looking at them sticking together, they objectively made it seem like a team.”
“Nonsense······”
“It’s defamation, compensation, etc. I used a lot of unintelligible terms, so I couldn’t understand it exactly, but I thought I’d be fucked if I made a mistake. So…”
“So?”
They both gulped and looked at me.
“I robbed my pockets. I spit out all the other money back then, so the mood didn’t get better. My life was almost over.”
“Ah… it’s really a pity.”
wow, it’s still worth it
Is it more shocking to spit out that money than to almost end your life?
That’s why I thought that if I fell into gambling, I wouldn’t have a mother or father.
“Forget it. I’ve been through it for a while, but that world is different from this one. If I make a mistake, it doesn’t end with me alone. It’ll end up around me and my family.”
“……yes.”
When I saw the dead grass, I took my breath away.
Hey, it’s not even your money!
“By the way, I need to find a job, but how do you usually find a job in Australia?”
“It’s various. You can go around and make a resume, or if you look at the backpack bulletin board, there is a job search information section. Or, you can go to the site and find it.”
“site?”
“Yeah. SEEK jobs are mostly for workaholics. In Korea, part-time job? You can think of it as something like that.”
“Yeah? Then, will you take a look?”
I took out my laptop from Korea.
Since Wi-Fi is provided in the backpack, there is no problem in using the Internet if you enter the password.
“This is fine here. This is fine too.”
Jinho looked at the job search information while dragging the mouse down.
I looked at it from the side and thought.
‘The hourly wage is strong, but there’s nothing I’m craving for.’
As far as I can remember, the minimum wage in Korea is less than 5,000 won, but in Australia it is 18,000 won.
Some jobs posted on the SEEK site do not meet the legal standards, but it was written that they would give at least 15 thousand won, or about 15 dollars.
Nigimi, three times our country.
However, the problem was that most farms were not attracted to cleaning…
You haven’t done anything, is there anything special?
It was time to think so.
“Huh?! It’s here too. It’s great here.”
“Where are you?”
“This is a place called Seongsam by Australian workaholics. The pay is very strong.”
Australian ginseng?
When you say Seongsam Electronics, that Seongsam?
