Without a doubt, the relationship between the two individuals was firmly established, as the recent crisis truly opened Jennie Laura's heart to Bidegla. Everything she thought of before her death was related to Bidegla, which is why she confessed her feelings to him in person, as she did not want to leave this man behind. It was a hard-won union, and if missed, she would regret it for the rest of her life.
In the time that followed, the two individuals truly came together, and this was the first girlfriend for Bidegla since being abandoned by Zosia Yedda. It is undeniable that Zosia Yedda once captivated Bidegla, but from the moment she abandoned him, the two became true strangers. Now, being with Jennie Laura, Bidegla has come to realize how right Zosia Yedda was in abandoning him.
Without her abandonment, Bidegla would not have left the city of Bamboo Sea, would not have met the old scam artist, would not have encountered Jennie Laura on the plane, and all subsequent events would not have unfolded. It all seems predestined, leaving one to ponder.
Looking at Jennie Laura's radiant smile, Bidegla was truly at ease, as he had been worried that it would take her a long time to recover, but it happened much sooner than expected.
During this period, he has been constantly by Jennie Laura's side, walking with her, being crazy with her, and doing everything she wants to do together.
The two people who are in love seem to be unaware of the passing of time, and soon it is a week.
In a week, Laura's jewelry store repair work was completed, and the store could reopen. On this day, Bidegla and Jennie Laura drove to the jewelry store early, as they could not miss the reopening.
After this incident, some of the employees of the jewelry store chose to resign. After all, they were almost killed by robbers last time, and they really didn't want to continue working here.
Compared to their own lives, they would rather have another job.
Jennie Laura did not try to keep them from leaving, but instead gave them a large sum of cash as compensation. This time, no one was to blame, but as the owner of the jewelry store, Jennie Laura knew she could not keep them any longer and had to let them go.
Although there have been major changes in personnel, several people have left, but some have remained, including Taitwein, who was shot in the previous incident.
Taitwein, the honest fellow, is truly brave. When the robbers attacked, he was the first to step forward. But because he was the first to step forward, he was almost shot by the robbers and barely survived.
Today, the jewelry store is reopening, and his wounds have not yet healed, but he still arrived early and put on his security uniform.
In his heart, since he is now a security guard for the jewelry store, he cannot be absent. After all, he has been paid and must do his job.
Seeing him, Bidegla also smiled slightly and walked towards him. He handed Taitwein a cigarette and said, "Brother, don't stand there with a frown. Sit down."
Bidegla could see that, although his wound was slowly healing, it would still take at least a month to fully recover. A gunshot wound is not easily healed.
Taking the cigarette, Taitwein was somewhat taken aback. Although he had fainted from being shot last time, he had heard about Bidegla's heroic actions and had seen the video, so at this moment, he looked at Bidegla with admiration, even a bit of excitement.
Ignoring his gaze, Bidegla sat down on the ladder at the entrance and said, "Brother, after today, you don't have to come here anymore."
"What?" Upon hearing Bidegla's words, Taitwein's face turned pale. His family was very poor, and he could not find another job after leaving Laura's jewelry store.
Seeing that Taitwein seemed to have misunderstood him, Bidegla was also shocked, and quickly said, "I didn't mean to dismiss you. I meant that after today's reopening, you should stay at home and rest. As for your salary, it will be treated as paid leave. You don't have to worry."
After hearing Bidegla's words, Taitwein's face finally returned to normal. He had thought that Bidegla was going to dismiss him, and felt a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and showed a simple and honest expression.
"Sit down," Bidegla pointed to his side.
Taitwein didn't hesitate and sat down next to Bidegla.
"Brother, this time you were willing to stand up for the jewelry store, which shows that you truly consider yourself a part of this place. So, I plan to promote you once you have recovered from your injuries," Bidegla said calmly, startling Taitwein.

"I'm sorry, but I am just a mere gatekeeper, incapable of taking on such a heavy responsibility," Taitwein shook his head like a tambourine, leaving Bidegla somewhat speechless.
This was the first time he had seen someone being promoted and still wanting to refuse, so his fondness for Taitwein increased by another notch.
"Our jewelry store is preparing to open a branch, and I will be assembling a security team to send you over as the captain. I know you are not a salesman, so you will definitely be able to handle this position," Bidegla spoke, having had this idea in mind for a few days already.
The jewelry store had been robbed this time, and without proper security, it would not do. Therefore, with the opening of the branch, he had to assemble a security team. He didn't expect them to be highly skilled, just capable of standing up like Taitwein in times of danger.
Bidegla had a good impression of Taitwein, so making him the captain also put Bidegla's mind at ease.
"Don't think of refusing just yet. Making you the captain is the result of my careful consideration. I can see that your family is not well-off, so you need this job," Bidegla directly shut Taitwein's mouth with his words before he could speak.
Although Taitwein was dressed in a brand new security uniform, Bidegla could see through it and could see that his shirt underneath was already worn out and not thrown away, indicating his dire financial situation. Giving him a job was also a way to help him out.
Seeing Bidegla's persistence, Taitwein did not refuse, but only nodded solemnly and said, "I will do my best."
Bidegla was right. Taitwein's family life was very difficult, with a bedridden mother and a younger sister in high school. His wages supported their livelihood, often not enough to make ends meet. Accepting Bidegla's job offer would be a great help to him.
For Bidegla, Taitwein now not only showed respect, but also deep gratitude. He knew Bidegla would not deceive him.
"Thank you," Taitwein spoke, a manly figure with a hint of redness in his eyes.
"Hehe, we are all in this together, no need to be so polite. As long as I, Bidegla, have a meal, there will naturally be a portion for you," Bidegla patted Taitwein's shoulder, then stood up.
Of course, what Taitwein did not know was that when Bidegla patted his shoulder, he had already infused a force into his body. This force could not immediately heal his injuries, but it could shorten his recovery time. This was the last thing Bidegla could do for him.
The jewelry store opened as scheduled, with many reporters and onlookers outside.
When the door of the jewelry store opened, many people rushed in, almost breaking the threshold of the store.
Seeing this scene, Bidegla was somewhat dumbfounded. According to reason, the last time the jewelry store was robbed, business should have been much quieter. How could it be such a spectacle?
"No need to look. This is all thanks to you," seeing Bidegla's dumbfounded expression, Jennie Laura chuckled lightly and said, "The last time you showed your might here, it attracted countless people's attention, so today many people are here for you."
Upon hearing her words, Bidegla turned around and indeed saw that most of the people coming in had their eyes on him, and there were even reporters continuously taking photos.
Bidegla did not refuse the reporters' photos, as this was a chance for free advertising without spending money.
With a smirk, Bidegla addressed the crowd, "Thank you all for coming to our grand opening today. Starting today and lasting for a week, everything will be sold at an 80% discount. Welcome to our store."
Upon hearing his words, the people who entered cheered and then proceeded to select their desired items to purchase at a discounted price. This was indeed a golden opportunity to make a purchase, as waiting until the items were no longer discounted would result in higher costs.
Meanwhile, Jennie Laura naturally understood Bidegla's intentions and did not say much. Although the decision to offer a discount was Bidegla's own, she knew that this news would undoubtedly attract more people.
While the profit margin might be relatively smaller, selling a large quantity of items would still be profitable and would help build a reputation.
On that day, Laura's jewelry store was bustling with activity. Nearly every customer who visited the store made a purchase of their preferred items. Some bold female customers even requested to take a photo with Bidegla.
Bidegla did not refuse the photo requests, as he feared that if he did, these people might suddenly lose interest in their purchases.
However, with every photo opportunity, Jennie Laura would glare at him fiercely, leaving Bidegla somewhat speechless.
At the end of the day, the sales figures were revealed, and everyone was astonished to see the day's sales revenue. The sales for just one day alone had already surpassed the revenue of the past one, two, or even three months, earning a net profit of at least fifty million.
This achievement surprised and shocked everyone present.
"Alright, each person will receive a bonus of twenty thousand today, and we can skip the celebratory dinner," Jennie Laura announced, prompting cheers from everyone in the store.
Twenty thousand was several times more than their monthly salary, and with their commission from each jewelry sale, the income from that day alone was enough to match their earnings for the past year, if not more.
Giving Jennie Laura an appreciative look, Bidegla also admired her for quickly winning over the hearts of the employees. He feared they wouldn't want to leave even if he wanted them to in the future.
"Damn, how did this happen?" Laura's jewelry store was filled with cheers, while at Hualian Jewelry, there was a gloomy atmosphere. Today, they had sold fewer than ten pieces of jewelry, and all their customers had been taken by Laura.
Even the news on television was reporting the statement Bidegla had made in the store during the day.
Cyril Hanni could easily imagine that anyone who saw the news would not be able to resist taking action.
"Cyril, what should we do?" one of Cyril Hanni's henchmen asked, looking pale and frightened by Cyril Hanni's reaction.
"Get lost. I don't want to see you. Disappear from my sight immediately, or I'll break your legs," Cyril Hanni roared, consumed by rage.
"Laura is offering discounts on merchandise. Shouldn't we also lower our prices for sales?" the store manager of Hualian Jewelry spoke up. Despite Cyril Hanni's alarming demeanor, as the store manager, it was his responsibility to sell the items. Therefore, he had no choice but to muster the courage to speak up.
