Chapter 490: Nickson's Decision

The lights in the bar are dim, the music is loud, with a strong sense of rhythm, many people are writhing, there are cheers and whistles from time to time, and there are also swearing voices, one after another, and there are also lonely men and widows sitting alone on the bar or chairs, looking for prey to spend a long night with them.

Zhen Fan quickly found Maguire Nickerson, sure enough, it was the captain of the Coast Guard, he was looking at the group of writhing people in front of him with a blank face, even if a woman came to talk, he didn't pay attention to it at all. Obviously, his love has not yet adjusted.

"Mr. Nickson!" When Zhen Fan walked up to him and greeted him, Nickerson came back to his senses.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhen, I'm a little distracted!" Nickson hurriedly motioned for Zhen Fan to sit opposite him, and beckoned the waitress in front of him who didn't know who slapped her buttocks and was still smiling charmingly at others.

"A beer, what do you want? I'm in for a treat! Nickerson said to Zhen Fan.

"Beer!" Zhen Fan nodded at the hostess, then said with a smile, "How did you choose this place?" ”

"Only then can I find the true feeling, I don't even know how I've come these days!" Nickerson looked at Zhen Fan and shook his head, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said this." ”

"No, I like to hear it, if you will!" Zhen Fan said very understandingly, "If I were in an environment like yours, I would have such a mood, I can understand!" ”

"Thank you, Zhen. You're a good guy! Nickerson began to adjust his feelings, "Originally, I didn't want to say this, so that you don't see it as a corner." Then come to you, I believe you know what I mean, yes, I want to follow you, wherever I go, I used to be the first mate on a destroyer, and I was also the captain of the Coast Guard. I can sail on the seas with a yacht and I have a lot of sailing experience! ”

"I know, that's why I'm trying to invite you!" Zhen Fan took a sip of beer. "But I don't want to take advantage of others, I'm going to let you make your own decisions, after all, this matter is important to you."

Nickerson smiled: "Yes, it's important. Let's be honest. I don't want to leave the army at all, even if it's the coast guard, I want to stay in it, you don't know how a person who is used to staying in the barracks will be unaccustomed once he leaves the barracks, I'm not even used to taking long vacations! ”

"Does your wife approve of you?" Zhen Fan looked at Nickson's face and suddenly said, "You have a wife and two children, they should be six and three years old." The big ones are the boys, the little ones are the girls. Is that right? ”

"Have you investigated me?" Nickerson opened his mouth wide in surprise and looked at Zhen Fan, feeling a little unpleasant in his heart.

"No, I can tell from your face that this is an ancient inheritance that we Chinese called faces, so ...... I can tell you this by looking at your face! Zhen Fan shrugged his shoulders, "I hope that if you follow me, you can get your wife's consent, and I can give you an annual salary of 170,000 US dollars after taxes." ”

"One hundred and fifty thousand dollars?" Nickerson was taken aback, he now knew that even the highest-paid Tennessee captain among the captains of surface ships was paid only about $90,000 a year. Now his salary has reached 170,000 US dollars, and it is also after taxes.

Seeing Nick Sen open his mouth, Zhen Fan smiled and said: "There is a difference between driving a yacht and driving other ships, I know this, but I am afraid that you yourself have not figured out that the captain of a yacht, especially a large yacht like me, should be a high-paying position, and in the future, your first mate, helmsman and sailor will definitely be less than you, but the trees will also be considerable!" ”

"You're such a generous boss!" Nickerson couldn't help but smile wryly.

"No, I just don't want my captain and crew to change bosses constantly, I believe that a high salary ensures loyalty and that they can work hard." Zhen Fan smiled, "That's all I want, it's very simple!" But the point is, are you really willing to drop the one qiē here and follow me to Los Angeles? ”

"Well, your idea does ...... Larger than life! Nickerson nodded, "Yes, I'm ready." Although this place is worthy of my nostalgia, it is no longer suitable for me to live here. My wife and children all need a quieter environment, and they are under more stress than I do. ”

"Can you tell me?"

"My kids were in school, denounced as cowards and traitors, and my wife was at the mercy of my neighbors, and although they didn't say it, I knew they were under a lot of pressure, even more than mine. Of course, I was also afraid to go to camp, I was afraid to face those strange eyes. ”

Nickerson said a lot in one breath that he and his family were indeed no longer fit to live in Miami, even though it was once his hometown, which made him extremely nostalgic. But he has been ostracized.

"It's not your fault, don't take it over, after a long time, people will understand. They have not experienced this qiē, and certainly do not know that such a result is actually ...... There's no way, you can't change it, but if I had come earlier, things might have taken a turn for the better! Zhen Fan sighed, raised his glass and motioned to Nickerson, but he poured another sip of beer.

Nickson raised his wine glass, drank all the wine in the glass in one go, and let out a long breath: "I decided, since I want to leave, I won't be nostalgic anymore, even if there is a compelling reason, I won't blame anyone, it's my choice, leaving will make me forget something!" ”

"Alright, let's have a good time together!" Zhen Fan also drank all the wine in the wine glass in one go, and then snapped his fingers at a waitress who was twisting his ass, "Two more beers!" ”

When he came out of the bar, Nickerson was already a little drunk, Zhen Fan put him in a taxi, and then he left alone, Nickerson is a good person, and it can be seen that he is also a very passionate and experienced soldier, so he doesn't worry about the captain's problem.

Nickson staggered home, he felt in his pocket at the door and didn't find the key, knocked on the door again, and after a while, a brown-haired woman in her thirties opened the door, looked at the drunken Nickson, couldn't help frowning slightly, and let Nickerson enter the house.

"Why did you drink like this?" The woman said as she helped Nickerson to the couch, and there were two children in the living room, who were sitting on the carpet watching TV, and when they saw Nickerson coming home, they both looked over.

"I'm looking for a job! Beth, we're getting out of here! Nickerson looked at the woman who was taking off his shoes and said, "We're going to Los Angeles!" ”

"To Los Angeles?" The woman looked at Nickerson in surprise, she knew that she would leave here sooner or later, this was already a place of Nickerson's nightmare, but she didn't expect it to be Los Angeles.

"Dad, is Los Angeles fun?" The six-year-old son looked at Nickerson with blank eyes, and he could feel that Nickerson was not in a good mood these days, so he was also very well-behaved, playing with his younger brother, and trying not to let his younger brother do bad things, which was the best thing this kid did.

"L.A. is very big, bigger than Miami, where there are more high-rise buildings, and it's ...... We will live there, that's where our new home is! Nickerson looked at his son and smiled.

"What's going on? Nick! The woman looked at Nickerson with some concern.

"Well, Beth, I met a guy from Los Angeles, a very amazing person, anyway...... He is amazing, he is also a Chinese, he bought a yacht and invited me to be the captain of his ship, giving me an annual salary of 180,000 US dollars a year, and after taxes! Nickerson cleared his head and shook his head.

"What? $180,000? The woman looked at Nickerson in surprise, he knew that Nickson's salary was not high now, even if an officer who had worked for more than forty years and had the rank of colonel would not have an annual salary of more than 150,000 US dollars, and even if a brigadier general had served for more than 30 years, their annual salary would not exceed 170,000 US dollars. In other words, her husband's salary is already very high.

"You...... You can't be mistaken, right? The woman looked at Nickerson with some doubts, if this is the case, maybe it is also a good thing, and if the husband retires, there is also a retirement payment, which is enough to find a good house in Los Angeles, and the rest will not be a problem.

"Yes, you heard me right, we're fed up here, it's not fair to let you and the children bear this even if it's something I've done wrong, you know, I've wanted to leave here for a long time, just because I've lived here for a long time and I'm a little reluctant, and now ...... I can finally make up my mind! ”

"Alright, Nick, I think I'll follow you as soon as you make your decision!" The woman leaned on Nickerson's arms and held his hand tightly, during this time, she was indeed under a lot of pressure, which was purely a kind of mental abuse, which made the woman's face lose a bit of luster.

Nickson touched her hair and closed his eyes slightly, he had calmed down and began to think about how to be a good captain of a yacht, yes, it was his luck to meet Zhen Fan, then he would not waste this luck, but would repay him with his excellent work.

Zhen Fan came back from the bar, the yacht was a little quiet, there was no noise, it was strange, Lance didn't invite those bikini beauties to the yacht to party today. Several of them were on the deck, lying on the deck chairs or leaning on the railing, talking and chatting, and when they saw Zhen Fan coming back, they only glanced at it.

"Why isn't there a scheduled show?" Zhen Fan said to Lance with a smile.

"I've run out of money, you know the pay I was given last time, plus the salary I was given, I've spent it all, Zhen...... Is it possible to advance my salary for one month? Lance looked at Zhen Fan expectantly.

So that's the case, Zhen Fan laughed, then ignored Lance, and said to several women: "I have found the captain, he will come tomorrow, but I still hope to be able to fly back." Olivia, you contact Mr. Mikel, and we'll leave for you tomorrow!" (To be continued......)
