Chapter 451: 0449 This is abroad


The father and son chatted intermittently; for Nell, who is going abroad for the first time, this was a completely new experience like never before.

Federation people have many opportunities to come into contact with foreign information, some foreign videotapes, some programs about foreign countries, seemingly each Federation citizen has a kind of emotion of "I know more about this world than the Lord."

You can randomly interview someone on the street anytime, asking for their opinion about a certain country, whether they really know this country and everything about it.

He can always quickly find similar and almost related things in his mind and give his evaluation. They understand the world so well but have never crossed the border, at least most people have not.

"I hated you to death before I came, Lynch!" Nell said bluntly, expressing his true feelings, "You kicked me into this godforsaken place, but now I want to thank you, it's like paradise here!"

Nell seemed to have completely let himself go; after his affair with the secretary was discovered by Lynch, his relationship with Lynch became even more interesting.

It's no longer a complete father-son relationship, more like friends who can talk about anything but are not quite father and son.

They could discuss much deeper topics than ordinary people, without worrying too much.

"People are really enthusiastic, you know?" Nell leaned on the vine chair with his hands on the backrest, crossed his legs, seeming a bit carefree.

Anyone familiar with him would find it hard to associate him with his former image, a usually silent worker who occasionally lashed out, covered in grime.

Money not only changed his life but also changed him.

"Especially those girls, I've never seen so many enthusiastic girls... sorry, I shouldn't say that." Nell nearly shared his nightly joys as a groom with Lynch when he suddenly realized that was his son.

In Federation families, the way relationships are maintained completely depends on economic circumstances; whoever controls the family's financial resources has more initiative.

Lynch has such initiative, which is why Nell started ignoring the hierarchical father-son relationship.

However, many family members in Federation do discuss sexual matters; in today's age of feminism and gender equality, discussing such topics is not shameful.

Lynch waved his hand, "No problem, but I'm not interested in your private life. Also, I've heard that being promiscuous can lead to diseases; be careful with yourself, or I'll leave you on an island in the East Ocean for life."

He made a slightly unfunny joke, which made Nell adjust his posture; he didn't want to end up on some lonely island in the East Ocean because of minor reasons for the rest of his life.

It seemed like a joke, but he bet if that day really came, Lynch would undoubtedly do it and wouldn't let him die!

Better to kill him; after enjoying such a wonderful life, he couldn't return to his past life.

Lynch took a few more glances at Nell and lowered his voice slightly, "Tell your workers not to cause trouble; this is not Federation."

"If things get out of hand and some people really die, Federation won't stand up for you."

"Now we're still in the smooth honeymoon phase; as long as the matter isn't too big, Federation will just pretend to be blind. You get what I mean?" Lynch patted Nell's arm, "Alright, quickly find a place, not too far, convenient transportation, contact me once you've found it."

Nell nodded and stood up. He patted the seam of his pants as if he wanted to say something but said nothing, quickly turned around, and left.

After stepping out of the Provincial Governor's house, Nell's expression became somewhat serious.

Life had been too good these past few days, and he hadn't realized the severity until Lynch brought up the topic just now. Even though he didn't admit it, his fear of Lynch affected him, making him realize that he and his men might be in some danger.

Nagariel's girls were very warm, so warm that they actively seduced Nell and those workers.

At first, they were quite timid, after all, they had never done such things abroad. They still maintained a kind of inexplicable national sentiment and pride, thinking their every move represented Bail Federal's image in international society.

But they couldn't resist those girls' enthusiasm, coupled with the hot weather now. Unlike Federation girls who can afford underwear but don't wear it, here many girls can't afford underwear, wearing cool clothes and circling around the guys.

Three or five days, a week, two weeks, the gap opened.

Once the first person who hummed and giggled was discovered by others, many girls started coming to the camp.

Some wanted to exchange money; they didn't mind spending a glass of beer's worth for fun. Others asked for nothing, simply admiring these foreigners.

Now thinking about it, it was definitely not that simple.

The world outside wasn't secure; various news always talked about, in this era, those willing to leave Federation to venture out were two kinds of people.

One kind was forced by real-life, having nothing to lose.

Without family burdens, betting this time. If they win, they gain everything, if they lose, it's just burial abroad, the worst scenario.

The other kind was forced as well because if they didn't come out to work, their family wouldn't have food.

Facing the gaze of wife, children, even several children and parents, some people could only grit their teeth and come out, risking their lives for their family's warmth and contentment.

Most of the men at Nell's site were honest family men. Yet, no matter how honest, once removed from their familiar social environment, worldviews, values, and morals change.

Listening to local stories, seeing changes around them, these people now act recklessly.

Just before chatting with Lynch, he didn't see any problem. If one willing to get hit and one willing to rush, nobody can say anything.

However, at this moment, he realized some things are ultimately different!

Returning to camp, nothing major happened, his young men were lounging in the woods cooling off, some even hugging one or two girls beside them.

Leisurely work, high benefits, high treatments; for these "poor guys" from Federation, this was paradise.

"Hey, the boss is here!" A guy lying on a lounge chair raised his iced beer and shook it twice.

Despite Nagariel's backwardness, they weren't short of some modern appliances. What's poor and backward was actually the lower middle of society; for the ruling class, they lived happier than ordinary Federation people.

These were shipped via boats and could be used by plugging into local wires; nothing was more comfortable than lying under a tree in the hot summer, drinking a bottle of ice beer.

Moreover, snuggled with a local girl in one's arms.

Federation people aren't very sensitive to skin color; Nagariel people's skin is dark but not to an unacceptable degree.

Federation started trending fitness from last year, many people applied the black bright polish on their muscles, also due to this trend, many Federation citizens consider besides good teeth symbolizing health, less white skin also became a health criterion, although upper society never agreed with this view.

Passionate beaches, shady trees, beautiful women.

Now, Nell was not as relaxed as before; he gestured to the deputy manager chatting with a beauty, signaling to enter the room.

Suddenly, his change felt especially grave; some workers quietly gathered, whispering, discussing whether anything happened.

They knew Nell went to see the big boss today; could it be about work?

"What's wrong, you don't look very happy?"

The deputy manager was also in his forties, around the same age as Nell, with a good relationship.

Initially, Asir acquired a small construction company to help Nell quickly adapt to his role. The deputy manager was the former general manager, somewhat knowledgeable about the industry.

With his help, Nell quickly settled into the role.

Their collaboration over this time had been great, mainly because the company was profitable, everyone gained, so naturally, relations were good throughout the company.

"Lynch and I talked over some matters about these girls; I think they shouldn't casually come to the camp, not to mention the security issues, what if conflict arises..." Nell grinned, "I'm a bit worried about this."

The deputy manager frowned too, "There shouldn't be much of a problem, but don't worry, I'll discuss this with the lads, leave it to me."

Nell nodded, patting the deputy manager's shoulder, "Make sure to take this seriously, we're abroad!"

Initially, the deputy manager's indifferent gaze became solemn as Nell mentioned "we're abroad."

Here, abroad, nobody but themselves can save them; Federation's money only works within the Federation, it can't reach this far.

Shortly, the deputy manager whistled to gather the lads and announced something.

"Congratulations, your vacation is over..." Instantly, the workers sighed in despair, judging their dejected looks, the deputy manager felt it was time to clean up their morale.

"Tomorrow you have a day to sort out these relations, the day after tomorrow morning we start working, you understand what I mean?"
