Under the nervous and eager eyes of everyone, the wooden door that had been closed for a long time finally opened.

John walked out, his head slightly raised, his face calm, his gaze wandering back and forth, lingering on everyone's face for a moment, making sure that everyone in the courtyard could feel the emotion in his eyes.

He didn't speak, the atmosphere suddenly became depressed, the crowd was restless, and his face gradually changed, it seemed that the eldest young master was not going to let go of everyone and leave the plantation.

"Big young master......" Debbie wanted to speak and stopped,

"Don't worry, it's okay."

John smiled and comforted, took a step forward, walked in front of everyone, pointed to the few people in the corner who were isolated, some of them were still injured, and asked in a cold voice,

"Tell me, who are they? Why are you standing there? ”

One sentence made everyone's faces full of shame, but a trace of anger rose in their hearts for no reason, although they were at fault first, but the eldest young master exposed people's scars in front of him like this, it was too much.

"Didn't anyone answer?" John pursed his lips with undisguised sarcasm on his face, "Then who's going to tell me why you're here?" ”

The voice fell, and a middle-aged white man with him walked out of the crowd and said,

"Young Master, we're here to negotiate a contract for employment."

"Hmm!" John answered, motioning for him to continue,

The middle-aged man was a little embarrassed, and asked for help from the people around him, but everywhere he looked, everyone avoided their eyes, and when he saw this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly,

"Young Master, I have a family to support, and I can't live without a job, so ......" he hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice, "I want to terminate the employment contract with the Condon family." ”

John frowned slightly, looked past the middle-aged white man, looked at the hired workers behind him, and suddenly understood something,

"You're all here to break the contract."

Everyone looked embarrassed and used silence to determine the answer.

At this moment, the plantation hired people in the corner who had turned away from the family were suddenly annoyed, pointing fingers at everyone, and constantly shouting at these people as unrighteous bastards, you must know that Derek Conton has always been known for his generosity, and paid almost twice as much as the other plantations, and now they did not hesitate to turn their backs when the family was in danger, this kind of thing, even the always gentle Debbie could not stand it, and with anger on her gentle face, she pointed at a hired person she knew well and scolded loudly.

The scolding continued to sound, and the whole courtyard suddenly became noisy, attracting many pedestrians to stop and watch.

"That's it!"

John raised his hand to stop the commotion, and looked coldly at the crowd, looking at their expectant, humble and angry eyes, and a wave of anger rose in his heart for no reason, but he knew very well that now was not the time to vent his anger, he took a light breath, and his expression became calm again.

"You guys can't wait to terminate the contract, and you come together, there must be a good job waiting for you, I want to ask, what is this job?"

“……”

The crowd began to stir, and everyone's eyes flashed, but they did not speak.

"Why, this is still a secret?"

John smiled, his gaze getting colder and colder, at this moment, he wanted to know who was the person who had been hiding behind his back and trying to trouble the Conton family.

He turned his head to look at a young hired man he knew, and asked,

"Tim, tell me, who's going to hire you?"

"This ......"

Tim, who was hiding in the corner, smiled bitterly, John and he were friends who grew up together, others could hide it, but he couldn't, "If you want to build a cigarette factory in Nancheng District, you need workers, so you can find us." ”

"When?"

"An hour ago."

Hearing this, John fell silent for a moment, an hour earlier, when he had just come out of the police station.

"Young Master, we have no choice, we don't have any money in our hands, Memphis things are still expensive, and there are still a group of people at home to support ,,,," Tim said bitterly, his expression was sad, as if there was endless suffering,

"That's it!"

Before he could finish speaking, John raised his hand to stop the following words and asked directly, "They pay a lot, right?" ”

Tim froze for a moment, looked embarrassed, avoided his head, and said nothing.

John shook his head slightly, turned back to Debbie and asked,

"Did you lose your employment contract paperwork?"

Debbie shook her head, "I've always had a save!" ”

"Take out all the contracts of these people in the hospital."

"Young Master......" Debbie hurriedly shook her head, signaling John not to be like this, what is a family, a group of people can only become a family when they are combined, and when people disperse, the family will naturally be gone.

The Condon family was already on the verge of shattering, and if this was allowed to happen, the last bit of cohesion of the family would be dissolved, and by that time, the hired workers who had not left would also be in turmoil and began to weigh the gains and losses.

"Don't worry! I have my own plans! ”

John smiled and told her to pick it up.

Seeing this, Debbie sighed and turned to walk into the back room.

Seeing this scene, the faces of the people in the courtyard suddenly put on relaxed smiles, and some of them even imagined a better life in the future, and the cigarette factory paid a very good salary, a full thirty dollars a month, which was enough for them to settle in Memphis.

"Young Master, thank you very much."

"Thank you so much, young master."

"Mom is right, you are really a good person!"

……

The cheerful crowd kept praising John's virtues, and all kinds of praises rang out continuously, and for a while, the whole courtyard seemed to be holding a singing party in praise of the great man.

On the other hand, the hired workers who stood in the corner, who did not choose to leave at the moment of family crisis, were flushed, and their faces were full of shame and indignation that they would be ridiculed by the betrayer after being betrayed.

John saw all this, he didn't say anything, he didn't make a statement, just stood there calmly, letting the incident ferment.

Two minutes later, Debbie came out of the back room with more than twenty points of contract paperwork in her hand.

"Young Master, this is theirs, I picked it, it's all here."

"Hmm!"

John took the paperwork, and under the nervous and expectant gaze of everyone, he read it one by one, he read it carefully, and carefully considered every line and sentence,

Time passed slowly, and everyone's faces showed impatience, seeing that he was serious, it was not easy to force urging, so they could only stand there dryly, and their mood became more and more impatient.

"Jonathan Joan, Hancro Gonson, Willie Stock, Paris Granka, ......"

John read the names of eight people in a row, picked out the corresponding contract documents, signed his own names, handed them to them, and said,

"It's your contract, you can go."

"Thank you, young master."

"Thank you."

……

The eight people who got the contract documents were overjoyed, did not stop, and left in the envious eyes of others, like literary and artistic prisoners who had escaped from prison.

John coughed, called the rest of the contract paperwork to Debbie, looked at the people in front of him, and said in a deep voice,

"Alright, the people who should leave are gone, and now it's time for us to talk about the contract."

ps: In the hospital, I coded a chapter with my mobile phone, and my mother will review it tomorrow, hoping everything is fine.
