Club, Ben arranged the last thing and went home from work with his purse.

At night, the homeless people wander out of the dark alleys and on the streets, and the cesswater cans in the back kitchens of restaurants, the garbage cans in the streets, and the swill buckets in hotels are their favorites.

The food that is about to spoil and be discarded is the guarantee of their lives!

The road was equally quiet, except for the occasional tram passing by, only Ben was moving away quickly.

Whenever his car passed, a homeless man would turn his head to stare at his car, greed and resentment in his eyes.

If it weren't for the two bodyguards in the car, Ben would never have dared to go home after dark.

Hungry homeless men would rush up and overturn his car, tear him alive before the police arrived, and snatch anything of value from him.

"Huh......" passed through that terrible block, and Ben Chang, who was suppressing his breathing, let out a long breath.

Two blocks further on is the South Chile Street, where the people who still live are middle-class or powerful, and the security is much better than elsewhere.

Not only is it a wealthy area, but it's also home to the Federal Building, which is why it's one of the safest areas in Chicago.

There are fewer and fewer homeless people lining the streets, who wear cheap suits and maintain a clean and tidy appearance.

Most of his expressions were haggard and lost, but he did not have the greed and madness of the previous homeless people, and when he looked at the passing cars, his eyes were mostly reminiscence and remorse.

Most of the homeless people who were able to stay here were former middle-class or powerful people, and the bankruptcy cost them their homes, but the government did not evict them from the neighborhood.

The quality of good family education and inheritance allows most of them to maintain a sense of sanity and optimism even if they face bankruptcy.

William didn't want to force these people to have no way out, and when the economy recovered, with knowledge and experience, they would soon be able to live a glamorous life, and the power of the United States needed them.

And this rule was also endorsed by several neighborhoods, and most of these bankrupt homeless people were their former colleagues, neighbors, friends, and even family members.

Although their families are also not wealthy now, this does not prevent them from providing them with some insignificant help.

For example, staying in a safe neighborhood, having a small amount of food and water, occasionally providing them with hot water to wash, and sleeping overnight on a soft couch by a warm fireplace.

"Wait. Ben was casually looking out the window, and a familiar figure suddenly swept in the corner of his eye, and hurriedly asked the driver to stop the car.

Chirping~~

The sound of the brakes was a bit harsh, and the homeless people who were wandering around in a daze looked up at the car with some expectation, thinking, 'Is there another lucky one?'

Rush was wearing torn pants, the wound on his knee had just scabbed, and his suit, which had been worth $1,000 dollars, was torn into strips, and he was walking forward blankly.

"Rush!" Ben jumped out of the car and ran towards the unkempt Rush Jeff, the co-pilot's bodyguard scurrying to follow.

The driver opened the door, mounted the Chicago typewriter on the roof of the car, and swept around with a warning gaze, as if to say, 'Don't mess around.' ’

"Rush, you ......" Ben looked at his former colleague and friend, unable to imagine that Rush, who was once high-spirited and valuable, would become what he is now.

Rush gave a funny smile and raised his hand numbly, "Hi, Ben." ”

“...... Hi Rush. Ben stepped forward and hugged him, not disgusted at all that his suit would be stained by the dirt on his body.

"Come home with me, go. Ben dragged Rush into the car: "Go home." ”

After Rush hesitated on the expensive carpet, sat on the sofa with a flushed face, and took the hot tea handed by Joanna, Ben began to ask him about his recent whereabouts.

"You're right, Ben, I've been blinded by greed, I've been left destitute by disaster, and my job, my house, my car, all of it has been used to fill the void.

Mary returned to England with her children, and after our divorce, she took the only savings in the family with her, woo woo ......"

With hot tea in his hands, Rush buried his head between his legs, his shoulders swaying and sobbing like a winter wind.

The warmth emanating through the teacup was the warmth he felt for the first time in two months.

Joanna snuggled up to her husband's shoulder, her eyes were red and she looked at this poor man, unemployed, bankrupt, and her once beautiful life collapsed in an instant.

The wife chose to divorce at this time and left the United States with the children.

Oh God, it's all so unfortunate......

"Rush, I think I can offer you a job. After thinking about it for a while, I still felt that I should do it.

Rush's talent is undoubted, and before the stock market crash, he was responsible for managing a fortune of up to 6 million US dollars, including many well-known investors.

It was not his fault that he had fallen into this situation, and the investors, economists, and wealthy businessmen who were more famous than him were all looted by this disaster.

Not everyone has the ability to predict the boss almost becoming a demon, and even if he is aware of the crisis, he once dared not imagine that this disaster would turn into a global financial crisis.

If it weren't for Li Zitao, his best fate now would be to be unemployed at home, relying on savings to live carefully.

And as the disaster spreads and goes on, he can only move out of here like his neighbors and live in the suburbs with poor security, reduce his expenses, and try to survive the winter.

"Ben. Rush raised his head excitedly and wiped his eyes vigorously: "Are you serious?"

"Of course, would I joke with such a thing?" said Ben with a smile.

"But, but I ......," Rush's face flushed, and he didn't know what to say when he thought of how he had laughed at Ben for being as old-fashioned as his grandfather.

"Rush, you were hired because of your abilities, nothing else, after all, I need to be responsible for the boss. Ben looked at him very sincerely.

"Thank you, thank you...... Root. Rush lowered his head, his eyes unnaturally red again.

"I'm going to prepare the guest room, I think he needs a temporary shelter, don't you, dear?" said Joanna, getting up and looking at her husband tenderly.

"Yes, he needs to stay here for a while. Ben nodded in agreement.

Late at night, lying in the silky satin quilt like milk, Rush gently tugged at the quilt, covered his neck and pinched the corners of the quilt, looking at the ceiling for a long time unable to sleep.

This kind of warm care, he has not experienced for a long time, so that he has some gains and losses, and his heart is even more grateful to Ben and Joanna.

Recalling the life and tribulations of the past, the previous heart-wrenching feeling seemed to be alleviated a lot, and in the memory, Rush fell asleep in a daze.

The call of "Rush, Rush......" gradually reached the brain.

Rush opened his eyes nervously and sat up, and when he saw the tidy room and felt the warmth on his body, he remembered that he no longer lived in the park.

"Rush, are you up?" Joanna's voice rang out outside the door.

"Yes, yes, I'll be right away. Rush's voice was a little hoarse, and last night he was covered so tightly that his body suddenly turned from extreme cold to extreme heat, and he seemed to be on fire.

After getting dressed and washing, Rush came to the living room, Joanna was preparing breakfast in the kitchen, and Ben was sitting on the couch reading the newspaper.

"Hey, Rush, come and sit. Hearing his footsteps, Ben turned back and beckoned.

"What are you looking at?" Rush asked curiously, seeing that Ben was fascinated.

"A new statement from our great president, ahem. Ben cleared his throat and said in a strange tone: "America is free and great, and the Union will never interfere with market freedom in any way, ha, what a stupid statement." ”

Hearing Ben's sarcasm, Rush nodded approvingly: "The market is completely chaotic, and it is gradually festering from the base, which is the collapse of the whole system,

What is most needed now is a strong external force, a force that can reverse this situation, hehe, it seems that our new president has other plans. ”

"Everybody understands this, maybe the team in Washington is better suited to go to the circus to perform. Ben said sarcastically.

"Hey dear, I need your help. Seeing that the two of them were getting more and more angry as they talked, Joanna turned around to interrupt their conversation.

She didn't want to spend a 'hot' morning, which should be warm and pleasant, and as for work, it was time outside of home.

"Ha, the Queen's call. Ben shrugged his shoulders wryly and headed towards the kitchen.

Looking at Ben and Joanna, who are in love, Rush's eyes are full of envy, and although there is only a brief exchange, Joanna still leaves a deep impression on his heart.

Kind, beautiful, generous, full of the charm of a mature intellectual woman, with love and compassion, treating him as kind and kind as family.

"What a perfect couple. Rush thought to himself, and walked to the table amid the laughter of the two.

After breakfast, the two sat Ben's Buick and rushed to the club escorted by bodyguards.

"Everybody, please come over for a moment. Ben clapped his hands, waited for everyone's attention, and then pointed at Rush and said, "This is the new companion, Rush Jeff, everyone is welcome." ”

"You're welcome, Rush. Everyone greeted each other warmly.

"Thank you, thank you. Rush took off his hat and bowed, the suits and top hats Ben had given him.

"Alright, let's get on with it!" the crowd dispersed, and Ben led Rush to his desk, digging through a document and handing it to him.

"This is the current trend of think tanks in the stock market, and the BOSS's request is to absorb as many shares as possible. On the way here, Ben had already briefly explained the responsibilities of the think tank.

"So many?" said Rush, opening the file, a little surprised.

American General Electric, Steel Company, Radio Company, Standard Oil Company, Bethlehem Steel Company, Sears Roebuck Company, Telephone and Telegraph Company, Boeing Company, Thomas Cook Company, Amex Company, ......

As a stockbroker, these names are all too familiar, and they are all the darlings of the stock market, and each stock has been robbed by investors.

"These are the most valuable shares that have been analyzed by the think tank, and the BOSS's order is to continue to eat and try to take as many shares as possible. ”

Hearing Ben's words, Rush smiled bitterly, "Everyone wants to do this, even now these stocks are still in demand, but only in private circulation. ”

Rush was right, in the past two months, except for the small number of shares that retail investors initially sold wildly, all other changes were made in secret deals.

For example, UUS, the stock price of the broader market has fallen to $23, but at the beginning of the month, JP. Morgan bought shares in the hands of two minority shareholders at a price of $80 per share.

Let's talk about the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, 3% of the shares in Li Zitao's hands were also spied on by the Wood family.

The price per share is 90 US dollars, and 3% gives a sky-high price of 18 million US dollars.

The think tank bought it from the stock market for $18, which changed hands and made a 5 times profit, and after being rejected, the other party said that it could raise the price again.

So don't look at the stock market crash, the big companies with valuable stocks won't let go at all.

Li Zitao was able to get the 3% of the shares, and he was also quietly absorbed when the market was in a panic at the beginning and the giant crocodiles were watching and napping on the wall.

"Because of this, our existence is meaningful, if it can be easily achieved, why should the BOSS pay you an annual salary of 10,000 US dollars?"

Hearing Ben's quip, Rush looked excited, took several deep breaths before calming down, and every time he thought of "$10,000 an annual salary," he couldn't control his little heart.

Rush, who had experienced darkness and loss, knew all the more how precious this opportunity was, and looked up at Ben nodding solemnly.
