Chapter 553 - 564: I helped you handle it
James Smith’s words were indeed very sharp, directly showing contempt towards John Brown. Emma Campbell’s Aunt Mary and Uncle John immediately looked a bit awkward. According to reason, James Smith speaking about James Brown also meant no respect for them, but they needed something from James Smith, so they dared not offend him at this moment.
Emma Campbell frowned and said, "Chief Smith, the tax bureau is indeed a good job, but for me, I think being with the man I love will make me happier. I thank you for your kindness, but I just want to be with my boyfriend. If I can’t be with my boyfriend because of work, then no matter how good the job is, I won’t want it."
James Smith clapped his hands twice, saying, "It really is that love triumphs over everything." Then he shook his head, showing an expression of anger at their ignorance, and said, "After all, you’re young, not knowing the dangers of society, nor how difficult it is to find a job. When the time comes, you’ll know how hard it is to make money."
Emma Campbell smiled slightly and said, "Indeed, making money is difficult, and having no money is troublesome too. But as long as I can be with Big Brother Brown, even if it’s simple meals and modest clothes and houses, I will be very happy."
James Smith looked at John Brown and said, "Young man, you’re quite impressive, actually making Emma devoted to you. I wonder how much salary you earn a month?"
John Brown looked at James Smith and found it funny. This guy was just a minor chief, an assistant at that, yet he considered himself very important. John Brown had casually seen people far more distinguished than him before.
"Not much. YODC City is just a small town, and I can only earn around Three Thousand Dollars per month."
"Hmm, Three Thousand Dollars, in YODC City, that’s not bad. If it’s only for self-support, you can indeed live. But I want to ask, do you have a house there?"
John Brown shook his head and said, "I just rented one."
