Wolfgang dragged the cart and walked quickly. Li Du blocked his way. He did not look forward, but turned his head to look at his daughter. However, he said, "Don't block me!"
Li Du laughed. "Hey, Brother Wolf, your tone is too cold when you meet an acquaintance."
Wolfgang looked at him in surprise and nodded indifferently. This time, he simply did not speak. It did not matter if his tone was cold or warm.
Li Du patted his chest, which was stronger than the red bricks behind it. He sighed. "I hope you can live up to your promise. An annual salary of a million dollars, but you have to protect me."
Wolfgang, who had remained calm all this while, was stunned. He once again stared straight at Li Du, swallowed his saliva, threw down the cart, and saluted with a swoosh.
An annual salary of a million dollars was considered a high salary for a bodyguard, but it was not the highest salary. Some bodyguards of rich people not only received a salary, but also dividends from the rich's assets.
To a certain extent, for the rich, being a bodyguard was their life.
Li Du was willing to pay an annual salary of a million dollars. Godzilla had been with him for more than half a year and had earned half a million dollars. He was still in the early stages of his career, and he would pay Godzilla more in the future.
Previously, he could not accept that Wolfgang had to bring his daughter to work, but Sophie said that there was something wrong with the little girl. If she were Wolfgang, she would do the same.
Therefore, he understood. In addition, he believed that after Ivana's illness was cured, Wolfgang would not have to keep her by his side.
Li Du said, "You have a three-month probation period. During this period, if you pass, I will give you an annual salary for the first year to facilitate your daughter's treatment. But if you fail, don't blame me for being ruthless. "
Wolfgang said solemnly, "Yes, sir!"
"Call me boss, I'm not some officer," Li Du said.
"Yes, boss!"
Just like that, the bodyguard was recruited. Li Du thought about it for a while. Everything went smoothly, but the fact that the bodyguard had to bring his daughter with him made him feel a little unreliable.
Wolfgang's style of doing things was as Li Du had expected: swift and decisive.
He accepted the recruitment in the evening and reported to the camp early the next morning with his luggage and daughter.
Seeing him arrive at the camp with his luggage and suitcase, Li Du said, "Buddy, you don't have to live here. I just need your protection when I go out occasionally."
Wolfgang said solemnly, "I will stay with you and protect you."
Li Du waved his hand and said, "There's no need, there's really no need."
Wolfgang became silent once again. Then, with a slightly flushed face, he said, "I don't have much money left. The rent has just come due."
Li Du smiled helplessly. No wonder he was willing to be his bodyguard as soon as he agreed to his conditions. Was he at the end of his rope?
It was understandable. If Wolfgang had to bring his daughter along even as a bodyguard, then he would definitely have to bring his daughter along when he was doing other jobs. There were not many jobs that fulfilled this requirement.
Previously, he worked at a construction site. It was a tough job, but the salary of American workers was not low, so his income should be good. However, he did not have much money, which meant that his daughter must have spent a lot of money.
Li Du gave him an advance of ten thousand dollars and then tidied up the house for him to live in.
Now that the small house was full, Godzilla was staying there for a long time, and Victoria often came over to stay. Together with Brother Wolf and his daughter, there was definitely not enough space inside.
Therefore, he called Stephen and asked him to contact a friend to send another small house like this for Brother Wolf and his daughter to live in.
He did not have much money on him. Most of his cash had been exchanged for shares in Harry Winston. The two oil paintings were very valuable, but the experts that Roger had contacted for him had not arrived yet.
Yesterday, he had asked Roger about it. Roger had asked him to wait for a while because those experts did not believe that he had two authentic Van Gogh oil paintings.
Li Du did not have time to wait. With the bodyguards back, they could set off to look for fire opals.
The day after Brother Wolf was recruited, they set off in the pickup truck.
Li Du left Big Quinn and Lu Guan behind to help Hans. He brought along Godzilla, Brother Wolf, his daughter, and the three furry children, and drove all the way to Winslow.
On the way, Brother Wolf asked him about his social situation in the national park, including who his enemies were, who his hidden enemies were, who did not like him, who had a better attitude toward him, and so on.
When the pickup truck arrived at the national park, Li Du met an acquaintance, the jeweler Owen.
Owen was chatting with the ticket seller. When he saw Li Du, he smiled and said, "Hi, Li, my China brother, long time no see."
Li Du bumped fists with him and said, "I went to Las Vegas. Long time no see, buddy. How have you been?"
Owen smiled optimistically and said, "Very good. I have been digesting the big gift you sent me. However, my appetite has been whetted and I need more food. Do you have any?"
Li Du did not want to sell it to him. He was now a small shareholder of Harry Winston. Harry Winston could give him a higher price and also make money and give him dividends. Why would he not be happy?
However, he could not say that. He said in a low-key manner, "I have to see if God is blessing me. I hope I can find a few more gemstones."
Owen patted him on the shoulder and smiled. "I believe you can do it. Now many people know that you have a treasure hunting pet, right?"
Li Du frowned and asked, "Who spread this news?"
Owen gave an "I understand" expression and laughed. "Someone is talking nonsense. Ha, they must be talking nonsense. Fire opals have no smell and are hidden deep in the ground. What kind of animal can find them?"
Although he said that, his expression showed that he had taken the news seriously.
Li Du did not care. They could take it seriously if they wanted, as long as they did not suspect him.
Very soon, he realized that this kind of thing did not matter. Someone had their eyes on him.
As usual, he bought the right to use a hectare of land for two days and two nights. After paying 1,000 dollars, he followed the security guard to the rental site.
On the way, they passed by the territories of many gem hunters. These people recognized his car and waved to greet him. They looked very friendly.
Li Du turned his head and said, "I'm quite popular here, right?"
Brother Wolf said, "Not bad, but not in good faith."
Li Du asked, "What do you mean? I helped the people here to crack a scam to prevent them from being cheated of their money. Why do they have such a malicious attitude towards me? "
Brother Wolf shook his head. "Not sure yet, but we have to be careful of that person."
"You mean Owen? You mean that fat jeweler? "Li Du asked.
Brother Wolf said, "Yes, that's him."
Li Du looked at him doubtfully and said, "That can't be? We are partners. It was a win-win situation before. He even helped me in a bet. "
Brother Wolf said solemnly, "Maybe my analysis is wrong, but I believe in my judgment."
Li Du shrugged. He also believed in Brother Wolf's judgment. There was no knowing what a person's heart was. Who knew how others felt about him?
Under the guidance of the security guard, they arrived at the rental site. The pickup truck stopped and Li Du started to work.
