Chapter 2934


    ?


    After Nathan took a seat, Giancarlo made a toast to Nathan.


    The other business representatives, worker representatives, and elders who lived there also toasted to Nathan.


    Nathan did not deny a drink to any of them, and the crowd cheered.


    A middle-aged woman with patched but clean clothes entered with a te of salted peanuts and ced it on the table in front of Nathan.


    She said shyly, "President Cross, I don''t have anything else that''s good. I''ve just made these snacks, so please try them out."


    Nathan nodded. “Thank you, Ma''am!"


    The middle-aged woman had been afraid that Nathan would scoff at her food, but to her surprise, not only did he not do that, but he even thanked her sincerely. She could not help but feel delighted.


    When Nathan saw the in clothes the middle-aged woman was wearing and the haggard expression on her face, he could not help but ask, "Ma''am, what''s your name? Where do you work at? How''s life?"


    The middle-aged woman answered, "I''m Shoshana Littleton, and I''m fifty this year. I do cleaning and cooking for the people here. I earn about three to four thousand in Eurasian currency, and I''ve sent it all back to my hometown. It''s fine if I live a tougher life."


    Nathan was focused on her words until she was done. Then, he turned and asked Giancarlo, "Do the Eurasians who worked here earn simr pay as Mdm. Littleton?"


    Giancarlo nodded. "Yes. The wage hasn''t risen for decades, so it''s still the same as the wage a few decades before."


    Hearing that, Nathan said solemnly to the crowd, "You must have left your country to work here dozens of years and even decades ago. Perhaps our country used to pay little decades ago, and that''s why you''ve chosen to work here to provide for your family. However, I''d like to tell you something. Our country has changed. The sry offered back in our country is no lesser than the sry offered here. You don''t need to leave your home and be worried about getting bullied as an outsider anymore."


    Giancarlo smiled and said, "Yes, yes. Even though I haven''t been back, I''ve heard the older members of my family talk about this before. They say that Eurasia''s no longer as poor as we used to be decades ago, and life is much better now."


    Nathan nodded before turning back to the crowd. "I''ve heard about how you''ve been bullied recently, and I''vee here to deal with this. I''ve met with Jaymes, and I''ve requested him to ensure the safety of Eurasians who live here. He has agreed to it. Still, I''m worried that he might go back on his words."


    As the things Nathan was saying involved the benefits and safety of the people there, everyone perked up their ears to listen to his speech.


    Nathan continued, "Despite working here, you''re not earning much more than the jobs back in the country. In fact, some of you are earning lesser than the jobs back in the country. Therefore, I''m suggesting that youe back. It''s time to go home. Come back and take a look at our home country''s new environment. It''s better to work there than to keep suffering here."


    Nathan''s words made many people''s determination to stay waver.


    Many had left the country in search of a better life decades ago. Although they had heard that their home country had developed into a much better ce, they had never seen the development with their own two eyes.


    Hence, they had never thought about returning.


    Upon hearing Nathan''s speech, many of them began feeling homesick and bore thoughts of returning to their home country.


    Right then, someone piped up, "We''re far from home, and we''ll have to spend a huge sum on ne tickets."


    Nathan replied, "The Dragon Warriors of the South Army are currently at the port. If any of you want to return, I can arrange for the Dragon Warriors to be in charge of bringing you back."


    The moment he said that, many


    became on board with the idea. "Okay, I''m going back. It''s so tough here, and the locals always humiliate and bully us. Since the development back in our country is going well, let''s return."


    "Hear, hear. I''m going back too."


    Quite a number of the people there expressed their desire to go back to their home country.


    With a small smile, Nathan said, “Okay. I''ll make arrangements for the Dragon Warriors''mander, Jermaine, to be in charge of the transportation.” The locals there treated the Eurasians as outcasts. Moreover, life was tough, and the pay was little. Hence, many of them chose to return to the country with the Dragon Warriors.


    Of course, there were some who did not wish to leave the ce, such as Giancarlo and Shoshana.


    They had been living there for most of their lives. They were used to the ce and did not want to change their living environment anymore.


    Nathan said to Giancarlo, Shoshana,


    and the others, "I won''t force you to return, but you''ll have to take good care of yourself here. Go to theOriginal from N?velDrama.Org.


    embassy and look for the natio ne


    representative there. The country will back you up if anyone dares to bully you."


    Giancarlo and the others choked out, "Thank you, President Cross. Eurasian migrants like us are moved by your words and actions."
