Chapter 289: Chapter 292

Early in the afternoon, the CEO of Badford Group was waiting at the hotel door.

At the sight of Gilda, he said respectfully, “Ms. Lynch, I’m Kenny Dodson, the head of Badford Group.

Here is my business card.

“Welcome to Llandre, Ms. Lynch. Thank you for choosing to cooperate with us.”

With a small nod, Gilda took his golden–colored business card with his name on it. “Mr. Dodson, nice to meet you. I’ve heard a great deal about you.”

“Likewise! It’s my honor to meet you, Ms. Lynch.

“Are you ready to go now, Ms. Lynch, Mr. Moore?” said Kenny as he made a gesture.

Gilda and Jackson got into the vehicle.

Along the way, Kenny enthusiastically introduced them to the landscape and customs of Llandre.

Kenny was still in high spirits when they reached the minefield, stating, “Ms. Lynch, although Llandre is a small place, its mining industry, agriculture, and animal husbandry are all very developed. Today we will visit the minefield first, and then I’ll take you to the farm tomorrow.”

“Great! I look forward to it, Mr. Dodson,” Gilda said as she got out of the car with Jackson.

There was nothing else except for the high minefields around here.

Some laborers were subterranean, while others were working hard on the ground.

Kenny considerately handed Gilda a safety helmet. “Ms. Lynch, the minefield is a dangerous place. Be careful.”

He then handed another helmet to Jackson “Mr. Moore, Ms. Lynch, we can start from the coal mine No. 1…”

Kenny led Jackson and Gilda into the mine tunnels.

Along the way, Kenny explained to them how the mine tunnels worked.

Gilda had never before had a true understanding of the difficulties mine workers faced, particularly those who dug coal underground Their faces were dark, with only their brilliant eyes showing!

Covered with dirt, they bent to carry the coal in the basket and ascended the stairs step by step from the tunnels.

“How long do they work a day?” Gilda asked, and Kenny hurriedly answered, “Mine workers are very hardworking. They work at least 12 hours a day. Their pay is contingent upon their output. They make a good living.

dd 76 11302 “The risk is far higher underground than it is above ground. And it’s complicated down there. Most workers willing to work underground are not well off, so they decide to go work in the tunnels to improve their financial situation”

At this point, Gilda understood better how hard life was on the lowlifes Kenny uttered. “Ms Lynch, Mr. Moore, a lounge is ahead. We can have a break there.”

Gilda was not in a good mood at the moment!

Jackson put his arm around her shoulder and asked in a low voice, “What are you thinking about?”

Gilda came back to her senses and shook her head slightly. “Nothing I just think these mine workers are very hardworking It’s not easy for them to make a living”

ackson comforted her. “This society has a definite division of labor. Everyone shines in different positions. Don’t overthink Gilda nodded, “I know, Jackson”

“Are you worn out? Let’s go take a break” said Jackson as he took Gilda to the lounge Kenny personally prepared their coffee using the well–known regional brand Gilda took a sp which had a sweet flavor and aftertaste After putting down the cup. Gilda whispered to Jackson, Jackson, I’m going to the restroom.”
