Chapter 21: Come to my apartment at night
"If you love someone, send them to New York, because it's heaven there. If you hate someone, send him to New York too, because it's hell there. ”
To be able to live in New York, not necessarily all of them are rich, although the number of rich people in New York is indeed large, but the number of poor people is even larger.
This complex, multi-ethnic metropolis is full of opportunity, love, and wealth, but it is also quite realistic, and the polarization of wealth is greater than anywhere, and the poor can experience ruthlessness and ruthlessness everywhere.
There are many examples of students who are admitted to a top school, but who cannot afford to study because they cannot afford the tuition, and many more students are immediately burdened with more than $100,000 or 200,000 or more in debt after graduating from college.
Considering the amount of money they spend on life, and the fact that the initial income after leaving school is generally not high, it is likely that it will take them ten years to pay off the debt they have incurred due to schooling.
Not every family can afford college tuition, and even ordinary middle-class families need a headache for this, often from the time the child is very young, he begins to save college funds, just to let the child receive higher education.
Ye Dongqing was not very good at comforting people, and tried to say: "If it can make you feel better, in fact, I don't have the money to go to college."
I'm not sure about getting a scholarship, so I'm trying to figure out how to make money lately, provided that I get an admission letter from a prestigious university, and that Columbia University admission letter is worth at least $300,000 in my eyes. ”
Columbia University is located in Manhattan, which is a top 10 university in the world for a long time, with well-known alumni from all walks of life, even among the Ivy League schools on the East Coast of the United States, it is also a strong comprehensive university, which is one of Ye Dongqing's goals.
In my last life, I got the admission letter of Harvard University, and a lot of the knowledge I learned before was returned to the teacher, but if you want to say that you are sure of being admitted to a prestigious school, it is still somewhat necessary, and you will have to take the exam in a few days, and you must hurry up and prepare.
Laura shook her head and told, "Well, it doesn't make me feel comfortable, I don't believe that a person with an Audemars Piguet watch in his hand will not be able to pay for college at home, how can a poor person be bored enough to spend money on a useless watch?"
Even if it was only for 50,000 dollars, I would not hesitate to sell you the admission spot, and I also got a letter from MIT, so there are many opportunities to choose. ”
The number of good students in Manhattan International High School is so small, Ye Dongqing remembers that the other party's academic performance is very good, and the ranking is often close to his own.
Now he has been able to pay $50,000, but unfortunately even if he buys a place in school, he can't impersonate, and gender alone is a big problem, and he can't rely on cross-dressing to study.
"Do you know where I live, do you think it's like a place where the children of a rich family live? This watch was a gift from my boss, and I just told you that I've been working to make money lately. ”
Running the train with his mouth full, the current Ye Dongqing is not the little guy who didn't understand anything before and only complained about the unfairness of society and life, he has seen all kinds of tragedies, and his personality is already quite mature and rational.
Compared with other poor girls, at least Miss Laura is beautiful, which is also a very huge advantage, if the brain continues to be smart, and if you want to make a pretty good life through hard work in the future, it is probably not a big problem.
Thinking of the low-end apartment, Laura silently rejected in her heart, originally thinking that Ye Dongqing's family was rich.
I was even more curious, thinking about what kind of boss would be generous enough to give a watch worth tens of thousands of dollars to a middle school employee.
In fact, she knows that there is definitely no future for making money by selling big, there are so many customer groups, or the kind that doesn't have much money in her pocket, she is worried all day long, and she will be startled when she sees a police car passing by at the school gate.
It's a pity, what can Laura do other than this way of making quick money?
Ordinary occupations are too slow to make money, and they may not be able to save for college tuition if they spend a few years, and if they don't have a college degree, their salary will not be high. I tried to help other students take the test on my behalf, but I was found before I entered the examination room, and if I didn't run fast, I would definitely be doomed if I was caught.
As for making money with looks...... Laura went to a modeling agency that she had never heard of this summer to apply for, and when she heard about it, she realized that it was a profession that everyone knew about going to work in a club.
didn't degenerate to the point of selling his body, so he left from there immediately, and by the way, he called the police station and reported the "modeling agency" responsible for pimping.
All in all, Miss Laura has had a very difficult time this year, and she is still working at a Starbucks seven or eight blocks away from the school in her spare time, and her self-esteem makes her not want to be seen by her classmates to see her part-time job, otherwise the other girls will definitely say vicious ridicule, and gossip is the most hurtful.
After listening to Ye Dongqing, she became interested and asked tentatively: "My name is Laura, Laura Fisher, may I ask what kind of work do you do, and you are so profitable?"
"Leo, nice to meet you. ”
Ye Dongqing probably guessed what Laura wanted to do, with a smile in the corner of his eyes, he stared at her seriously.
I was thinking about whether to fish the other party out of the fire pit and take it to another fire pit, but it was more profitable to mix with myself, and the risk was lower than selling big, so it was a good business for desperate people.
Now that I do it alone, the scale is okay when I was a child, and if Old Sam gives other orders, it will be easier for multiple people to help him, so he simply said: "You also want to follow my boss, even if there is a risk of going to jail?"
"Isn't my current business a crime?
Tell me what you do first, I will never do murder, robbery, etc., as for stealing...... I've learned dance before, and I'm very flexible, I can climb very tall trees, and I have water pipes!"
The implication is obvious, I am really forced by money, and I am even willing to be a thief.
I suddenly felt that such a Laura was a little stupid and cute, after all, she was still a young girl, and she had never suffered a big loss, so she could say that the crime was so lightly stated.
Ye Dongqing was still thinking about it, thinking that maybe she could try it, since she was so short of money, it would not be too risky to hire, because telling the police would not do Laura any good.
shook his head with a smile on his face: "Those are too boring, they don't have any technical content, and they don't make much money, we Chinese don't just rob and steal."
As long as it goes well, I am sure that you will be able to make up enough tuition in two or three months, and when you think about it clearly and are willing to follow my boss, then come to my apartment tonight. It's that building, 807 ...... on the eighth floor."
