Chapter 219 Savior, Gratitude
Jerry looked at Nathan with a bright light in his eyes.
"Good, good!" He said,
Then he took out a piece of paper from his pocket that seemed to have been prepared beforehand and handed it to Nathan.
"This is a receipt of everything, Boss. You can just take a look and the total amount is written there as well."
Nathan picked up the paper and looked at it for a while.
The paper contains a list of material, their price, and a few more expenditures that the construction used.
At the bottom of the paper, Nathan saw the total amount of what he has to pay.
72 million!
When Nathan saw it, he just looked at it nonchalantly.
"Hmm, I will send the money to your account now."
He opened the mobile banking on his phone and sent 68 million to Jerry's company bank account.
Nathan only sent 68 million since he has already given a downpayment of 4 million in the beginning.
After doing that, Nathan raised his head and looked at Jerry, saying, "I already sent the money, it should arrive a few minutes later."
Just as he said that, Jerry's phone sounded and he took a look at it.
Soon, a big smile covered his face and Nathan immediately understood that he had received the money.
Jerry looked at Nathan, still full of excitement, he said, "I already received the money, Boss."
He then stretched out his hand to Nathan and said, "It was a pleasure working with you, Boss Nathan. I hope we can have another opportunity to work for you again."
Nathan grabbed it and responded, "Yes, when I have something I want to build again in the future, I will ask you to do it again."
Hearing Nathan's promise, the smile on Jerry's face seems to grow wider.
…
7 PM.
Inside one of the well-known restaurants in the bustling city center, 'The Foodies', Nathan, Jerry, and the group of workers entered.
"Haha, I finally got a chance to eat in this place!"
"This place is so expensive for me that I didn't even dare to take a step inside it before."
"Yeah, we have to thank Boss Nathan for this treat."
…
The group of workers chatted among themselves, laughing and praising Nathan.
At this time, a waiter hurriedly approached and welcomed them.
He looked at Nathan who's leading the group and asked,
"Hello, how many will it be, sir?"
"There are 32 of us." Nathan answered,
"Since there's a lot of you, I would like to open a private room."
Nathan thought it was a good idea and agreed.
"Yes, please open a private room for our group."
"Please follow me."
The waiter led them to a big private room.
"Here is your private room, Sir."
Inside the private room there's two round big tables that could probably fit about 20 people each which is more than enough for everyone.
Nathan and the others entered and took a seat.
Once everyone sat down, the waiter approached again and handed them a menu.
After giving that, the waiter said, "Please call me when you're ready to order."
He left the private room, giving the group some privacy as they chose their food.
Nathan turned to the group and said, "Guys, choose anything that you want. Don't worry about the price, I will pay for everything tonight!"
Hearing that, the group started singing praises for Nathan.
"Boss Nathan is generous!"
"Yeah, it's really great that Boss Nathan is treating us this time!"
"Haha, long live Boss Nathan!"
…
Nathan looked at them with a smile, not really caring about their words.
Soon the group started discussing what they would like to eat.
Nathan did not bother them and just looked at the menu.
When they finally finished, Nathan called the waiter outside and started ordering.
"Hello, we're ready to order."
Grilled pork, pinakbet, crispy pata, sisig, etc.
Nathan ordered a few dishes that everyone has agreed on and added a few of his own choices as well.
Btw, Nathan also ordered some alcohol to brighten the mood.
After they finished ordering, the waiter left to prepare their order.
While the food is still not here, everything just chatted for a while about some random things about life and work.
At this time, Jerry, who's seat is just beside Nathan, suddenly spoke to him.
"Boss Nathan, I want to express my gratitude to you. You don't know how great of a help you are to us this time."
Jerry was a little emotional and the tone of his voice was full of sincerity.
"Hmm? I didn't do anything, Jerry, why are you suddenly being like this?" Nathan asked, a little confused.
Shaking his head, Jerry said, "No, although in your opinion you didn't do anything but for us, you're a lifesaver."
Before Nathan even asked why, Jerry continued, "Actually, before you ordered from our construction company, we were on the verge of bankruptcy."
"The bank was about to seize everything, many people lost their jobs, and everyone was already on edge."
After saying all that, a smile slowly replaced the sadness on Jerry's face.
"It was then that you appeared. Your order was worth a lot. With the contract that you signed with us, we were able to discuss with the bank to give us more time."
"Then we started calling back our old employees and the company seems to have been resurrected, everyone started working harder."
"And now, with the payment from today, the company will finally stabilize and maybe usher to a greater future!"
Jerry's eyes were full of hope as he said those words.
After hearing all that, Nathan understood why Jerry called him their savior.
But in his opinion, he really did nothing worthy of such gratitude.
All he did was order his needs and him going to them was only a coincidence.
It can only be said that they have good luck that out of all the construction companies out there, they are the one that he went to.
That's why this gratitude Nathan didn't receive.
Nathan smiled at Jerry and said, "I did nothing worthy of your gratitude."
