It's not difficult to find Mr. Oliver.

Because he opened an Oliver Company on the island, specializing in shipping business.

The next morning, John got up early and came to Oliver Company, ready to visit this long-lost friend.

However, as soon as he arrived at the door, he saw a circle of people surrounding the door of Oliver Company.

"Who are you? What do you do here?"

One of the middle-aged men in a suit asked.

His tone was unkind and his expression was wary.

After he spoke, several other men nearby also cast wary glances at him.

This made John frown slightly.

"I'm from London," John said, throwing out the excuse he had prepared a long time ago. "I have a batch of goods that I want to entrust Mr. Oliver's fleet to transport. Hmm - so is this the Oliver Company?"

The men around looked at each other.

Immediately afterwards, the unkindness and vigilance originally displayed on their faces dissipated in an instant.

Instead there was joy and excitement.

"It turned out that I was looking for Mr. Oliver to transport the goods!"

At the beginning, the middle-aged man suddenly said enthusiastically, "You have really good vision. Oliver Company is definitely the best shipping company in Jersey! Their sailors are highly skilled, and the quality of their ships is also very good!"

John didn't say anything, just looked at the group of people with suspicion.

Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man was about to continue persuading, but saw another young man running not far away.

"Sir! Don't be fooled!"

The young man shouted, "Mr. Oliver owes a large debt and is about to go bankrupt! You must not do business with Mr. Oliver. At this juncture, he will definitely steal your goods to pay off the debt."

!”

As soon as these words came out, John didn't wait for any reaction.

The middle-aged men around him instantly became angry.

They swarmed up and directly covered the young man's mouth.

But the remaining middle-aged man was still diligently dragging John into Oliver's company.

With his kind invitation, John finally walked into the courtyard where Oliver Company was located.

"Jasmine! Come quickly! I have brought a guest for you!"

The middle-aged man who led John in shouted.

Soon, a girl in a dress ran out of the office.

The girl looks like she has just grown up.

She is somewhat similar to Mr. Oliver, very beautiful, but his face is full of sadness.

"This is Miss Oliver. You can tell her anything you need. Believe me, the service provided by Oliver Company is really outstanding!"

The middle-aged man spoke, smiled meaningfully at the girl named Jasmine, and then left the yard.

Jasmine felt very uncomfortable when he saw her, she trembled all over and lowered her head.

But in front of John, the guest, she finally gritted her teeth, forced out a smile and said:

"Guest, do you have any shipping needs? Oliver Company is happy to serve you."

John didn't pay attention to her, but looked around the yard.

Mr. Oliver had told him and Michelle more than once about the situation of Oliver Company.

In his description, Oliver Company has always had a prosperous business, a relaxed, happy and lively scene.

The windows here are full of cheerful faces, the corridors are full of clerks busy with pens in their ears, and the yard is full of piles of packages and porters chatting and laughing.

But now, there is an inexplicable sadness and lifeless atmosphere permeating the place.

The corridors were empty, the courtyard was empty, and among the many employees in the office, only this girl named Jasmine remained.

Moreover, she should still be Mr. Oliver's daughter.

John didn't think Mr. Oliver would brag and lie to him.

That means that something else must have happened to Oliver Company.

"Your financial situation looks dire."

John said calmly.

Hearing this, the courage that Jasmine had just mustered up was instantly shattered.

She lowered her head and said:

"Yes...yes, sir, in fact, Oliver Company is on the verge of bankruptcy."

"This surprises me," John said. "I have a friend who asked you to help transport a shipment a few years ago. He spoke highly of you, which is why I came to you."

"I'm really sorry, sir, that was at least two years ago."

Jasmine seemed to have made a lot of determination and then said, "Since two years ago, our Oliver Company's fleet has always encountered storms whenever it sets sail, almost without exception! This has cost us a large amount of compensation.

Money and property were severely lost!

Not only that, my father has since become terminally ill and is no longer able to handle affairs.

Everyone thinks this is ‘god’ punishing us!

So since then, no one has come to us to ship goods."

"Why are you related to 'God' again?" John said calmly.

"This is not a secret. If you ask around on the island, you will know that my father not only exposed the ugly behavior of the priest of St. Brelade two years ago, but also led people to attack St. Brelade. So..."

At this point, Jasmine stopped talking and shook her head with a sad smile.

Obviously, she didn't believe this statement.

"I don't want to deceive you, sir. With the current situation of Oliver Company, I'm afraid it's no longer possible to take over your shipping business."

Jasmine pointed to the doorway of the courtyard, "The people standing outside are all creditors of Oliver Company. They are quite kind, they don't use too many drastic means to collect debts, and they still introduce customers to us. I'm really grateful to them

.”

As soon as Jasmine finished speaking, John shook his head and said:

"Not kind, right? You know, before I came in, there was a young man who said that Oliver Company had gone bankrupt and wanted to stop me."

As soon as these words came out, Jasmine's expression instantly turned ugly.

After a long time, she gritted her teeth and whispered:

"He is not a creditor of Oliver's company."

"Then who is he?"

"He is a student supported by my father," Jasmine clenched her fists. "My father has supported him for seven years. Even during the most difficult time last year, he did not stop supporting him. He has transformed from a student who can't afford tuition.

The poor child was sponsored to become a college student.

However, my father's good deeds were not repaid well!

As soon as we stopped funding him this year, he came to the door and started causing trouble.

Guess what he said when he found out that my father was terminally ill and about to go bankrupt?"

Before John could reply, Jasmine said to herself:

"He said: It's your business whether you die or not. I just want the money you promised to give me!"

Hearing this, John's always indifferent face finally showed a change.

Jasmine's mood completely collapsed.

"Leave quickly, sir, please! If you leave the goods to us for transportation, you will definitely encounter a shipwreck! I don't want to harm you!"

Jasmine cried and reached out to push John.

John did not resist, but allowed Jasmine to push him out of the courtyard and close the courtyard door.

Seeing this, all the creditors around them shook their heads.
Chapter completed!
