Chapter 1184: Agreeing to Sign the Contract

Although the 200 US dollars daily salary was for the guides, Salem thought that no matter what, he should be able to split some money, right?

He felt that he was seeing things in a new light. Bringing tourists into the desert was such easy money to earn?

The desert that he had totally hated and wished to forever escape was actually a gold mine that was producing great amounts of US dollars?

Then why was he still working in the Port of Mersa Matruh? Being so tired every day, working so hard yet earning those very little spending money, and still having to stand the customers that made trouble and the stingy shopkeeper…

He worked to save money to live in big cities, such as Alexandria and Cairo, and even o other countries, such as…the distant China.

Anyway, it was all about making money. How about he…used his Bedouin identity to take tourists into the desert and earn a guide fee!

The door to the new world opened, and he suddenly realized that the identity that he had hated for so long was actually a not bad way of earning money!

When Zhang Zian saw Salem’s face darkening and brightening, he didn’t know that there were so many thoughts in his head. In fact, even if he knew, Zhang Zian could also understand it. It was like a rural dweller who always wanted to buy a city house. One day, he found that the rural house was much better than the urban house. Once the village was demolished, he could get 1.8 million yuan… He wouldn’t want to talk. He’d go and cry for a while first.

Salem had always insisted on resisting a return to the tribe. He collapsed in the face of the money instantly. Before Zhang Zian said anything, he took the initiative to say, “Jeff, you saved my life, and I will do my best to help you! How about this—I’ll take you back to our tribe and introduce you to my uncle Nabari.”

Zhang Zian was still trying to convince Salem to take him to the Bedouin tribe, but all his ideas were in vain. It was a little unexpected, but it was easy. As for the reason why Salem had changed his mind, he didn’t want to investigate it.

“Um…” Salem guiltily looked around, feeling very uneasy as he lowered his voice to say, “Jeff, I also have something to ask you to help with.”

“Oh? Please speak.” Zhang Zian thought that he was bargaining, that 200 US dollars of daily pay was not enough.

Salim scratched his head in embarrassment. “Well, could you say to the chief and Nabari, when you enter the tribe, that you were introduced by me? So my people will think better of me.”

Zhang Zian understood that this young man had his own small calculations in his heart, but it had no effect on the investigation team, so he nodded quietly and agreed.

They became good friends easily and agreed to meet outside the city of Port of Mersa Matruh in the morning. They would not leave until they saw each other.

Salem needed to return to where he was working at in Port of Mersa Matruh to clear up his things, change his clothes, and fire his boss at the same time.

Zhang Zian, on the other hand, planned to return to Alexandria to find a place to stay. Although there were hotels in the Port of Mersa Matruh, the hotel conditions in such a small city were obviously not very good, which would cause Fina and Sihwa to be picky.

Salem drove his car and left first, and only Zhang Zian was left on the beach alone.

While they were chatting, the raging winds had totally stopped, but there was still a period of time needed for the sky to totally brighten up.

“Let’s go, Galaxy. Let’s return to the car.”

Zhang ZIan called for Galaxy. It had been playing not far from here just now.

“Meow!” Galaxy ran over and turned its head to look at the shadow of the car that was going away. “It’s not fun to play hide-and-seek in the sea.”

Zhang Zian smiled. “Eh, thankfully, you reminded me. Otherwise, the humans would not have been able to find him already.”

He vaguely guessed the relationship involved in this… If he and Sihwa had not succeeded in rescuing Salem, no one would have introduced Nabari to the team. Without this experienced guide, he would have been detained in the police station because of the alarm. Wei Kang’s and the others’ desert trip would likely have gone bad…

The yellow sand of Egypt had already buried too many Chinese people’s lives. It was better if there were no more lives taken away.

Returning to the rental car with Galaxy, he stood beside the wagon and dusted himself off while telling the elfins the story and his own guesses.

Old Time Tea nodded happily and sighed slightly. “What is destined is destined. Is it not decided beforehand? You and Sihwa saved Salem, and in turn, they were helped and instructed by Salem. The cycle of causation and retribution is not good.”

The other elfins were also concerned.

“You know, Sihwa has achieved something great today. Zian, your teaching for days has not gone to waste, really,” Old Time Tea said with a smile.

“It’s nothing, Grandpa Tea. You’re the one who constantly gave personal advice.” Zhang Zian was also very happy. Looking back on Sihwa’s obstinate, self-centered appearance when she’d first come to the pet store, it seemed that she’d really grown up.

While they were talking, his phone suddenly rang.

The caller was the worker of the station who’d called to sign a contract with him on the live broadcasting platform last time and then passed it on to another executive.

The executive started off by asking about Sihwa’s safety and what happened after saving the person.

Today, the whole live broadcasting platform was bubbling with noise, and netizens felt that it was boring to watch other live broadcasts.

At the same time, the executives also asked in a veiled way about the authenticity of the rescue event. Were they making a show or something like that? Now the audiences were arguing and discussing the authenticity of the event in the rooms of other anchors. If it was just a show, it would be better to explain it to the audiences sooner or later.

Zhang Zian said that Sihwa was safe and well and that the drowning person was saved. As for the question of making a show, he could record a video for them tomorrow. And he would ask Sihwa to play it to the netizens so that the drowning person could meet the netizens.

Hearing Zhang Zian promise, the executive felt as if he had been relieved of his burden. Something that could make the live broadcast station gain reputation could have become a troublesome situation.

Finally, senior executives earnestly offered an invitation to sign a contract, hoping that Zhang Zian would not refuse. They expressed that they understood Zhang Zian’s concerns. As long as he signed the contract, all other conditions were negotiable, even if he did not participate in offline activities organized by the platform.

According to the statistics of major app distribution channels, today, their daily download of their live broadcast apps had increased several times more than usual. Obviously, the new people who’d downloaded the app and registered were all doing so due to Sihwa. Following that, Sihwa was sure to be lured by other platforms with a high salary. Rather than letting that happen, they were willing to offer her a special contract that was different from the newcomer anchors.

They viewed Sihwa’s future very well, feeling that she was a star of tomorrow who was rising up and hoping that she could work together with the platform to advance.

These conditions were very good.

Zhang Zian thought it over for a while and agreed in principle, but he still had to ask for Sihwa’s own opinions. Although he could anticipate Sihwa’s reaction, she would probably be excited to agree.

Hanging up the phone, he took a final look at the giant rock where the legendary Queen of Egypt had once bathed and drove to Alexandria Harbor.
