Chapter 308: Lesson 1
Since it is a national regulation, it is a law in the eyes of these people, and it is even better than a holy decree, so when he saw Xiao Yan, who was less than 40 pounds, gobbling it up like this, Zhang Ruiming suddenly felt a trace of sadness in his heart.
After eating this supper, Xiao Yan and Sister Cheng led the two of them out, on the not too bustling street in Dongjiang City, there are still a few bright hotel signs, when passing by the door of a chain hotel, Zhang Ruiming in order to reflect his identity, knowingly asked Xiao Yan: "Xiao Zhao and I live here at night?"
That Sister Cheng just played a haha, and then led Zhang Ruiming and others into an old alley, and after turning around, they went up from a small building, which was obviously some years old, and even the cement handrails were dark and shiny, revealing a strong stale smell.
When I climbed to the 8th floor, the door was already open, and a few people were waiting at the door, and after Xiaoyan and Zhao Zhicai led Zhang Ruiming and Zhao Zhicai up, these people returned to the house in various ways. Zhang Ruiming stood at the door and looked inside, this is a very old unit house, casually scraped a little wall and cement ash, and did not lay the floor, even the wires are smooth and slippery ground wires, bundles of bare outside, it is not like a place where it can be mastered, it is completely a blank, at this time the indoor light is dim, the smell is choking, and the cold musty smell is sandwiched with the rancid smell of rotten vegetables overnight. And the disgusting smell of sweat and feet came to his face, and there was a strange smell of burnt wires in the middle, Zhang Ruiming took a few looks before he knew that it was in the room in order to save electricity bills and ensure the operation of the switch used to make Internet calls.
Zhang Ruiming stood at the door, hesitated for half a minute, he almost couldn't control himself, turned around and left, where is the place where people live? Do you know how long you stay here? In the shed on the construction site, it should be more comfortable than here.
There were several bedrooms in the room, and there was a wave of unsettled snoring at this time. Zhang Ruiming sat on a bench high on one side and low on the other, waiting for Xiaoyan and them to arrange a place for him, at this time, he vaguely heard someone talking in a doorless room next to someone: "...... You believe me...... , as long as you invest 50,000 ......"
Zhang Ruiming looked at the frustrating scene in front of him, and his heart was suddenly boundless frustrated, although he had already made a certain psychological preparation, but he didn't expect that at his age, he would have to endure such hardships, in such an environment, and so many insidious, ignorant, and crazy direct salesmen in the same room, fighting wits and courage, the days to come, are really too miserable.
All those who see are fools, and all things that are heard are false.
Zhang Ruiming thought of this sentence for no reason, and then thought of the first round of tests he would face tomorrow, and his heart was filled with an indescribable feeling.
In the more than ten minutes that he was waiting for the arrangement, Xiao Yan, Zhao Zhicai, and Sister Cheng were plotting something in a room inside behind closed doors, Zhang Ruiming knew that Zhao Zhicai had deduced this scene before, and every time a new person came in, the organization would definitely hold an emergency meeting. Discuss how to let the newcomer enter the game and give the newcomer the first judgment. And before the newcomers came, the leaders above the head of the underground command had several rounds of consultations and made all kinds of preparations, and after the formal class tomorrow, there will be a personal "teacher", a "lecturer" who will attend the class, and a "companion" who will go out.
This is precisely the most vicious and insidious part of pyramid schemes and direct sales: in this non-productive organization, everyone is prey on others, and the people in this den are all scheming and working together to deal with one person, unless that person has a great psychological defense, otherwise it is difficult to stay sober under such a high-frequency and high-intensity brainwashing, and then fall into the trap of these people, and then become a ghost who acts as a tiger.
At this time, Zhang Ruiming was silently reciting the "personal resume" he had prepared earlier, he memorized it for a few minutes, and when he saw that Zhao Zhicai had not come out, he suddenly felt a little nervous...... This kid, who had the kneeling and licking look he had for Xiao Yan before, if he betrayed himself at this time...... Just when Zhang Ruiming was more and more worried the more he thought about it, Zhao Zhicai walked out with Xiao Yan dejectedly, he took two straw mats, and pointed to a ventilated balcony on the side, "Boss, we'll sleep there tonight." ”
Zhang Ruiming frowned and asked Zhao Zhicai: "The two of us ...... Sleep on this thing today? This is not even as good as a pigsty!" Xiao Yan on the side came over to help and said, "Big brother, we all sleep like this here."
Zhang Ruiming shook his head and said: "Forget it, I'll still stay in a hotel, I'm not used to sleeping on this straw mat." After speaking, Zhang Ruiming made a gesture to go out, and Sister Cheng squinted and sneered: "Hehe, you are a big man, since you are also a boss, in order to make a fortune, you can't even eat this bit of hardship?"
Zhao Zhicai also came over to persuade him at this time, Zhang Ruiming looked at his expression, saw his face lost, and secretly thought in his heart: It seems that Xiaoyan didn't give him any sweetness just now, and the alliance between him and himself should be quite stable at this time, which finally put Zhang Ruiming at ease. Besides, I definitely won't be able to leave tonight, and I didn't want to leave in the first place.
Forget it, it's going to be one night.
So, he pretended to complain to Zhao Zhicai a few more times, and lost his temper a little, but he still took the straw mat, spread it on the dusty balcony, and Zhao Zhicai casually cleaned up and fell asleep.
Lying on the straw mat of the awkward people, Zhang Ruiming felt that everything was like a nightmare, a nightmare of his own choice.
There was a roar of snoring in the dark, and I don't know how many people slept in this hut. He tried to calculate how many direct salesmen were stuffed in this room through the sound of snoring, but he gave up after trying, Zhang Ruiming found that he couldn't count it with two hands, obediently, I was afraid that there were twenty people.
On the first night, worried about what would happen in the middle of the night, Zhang Ruiming didn't dare to take off his clothes, and he didn't dare to take off his armor and lay on the straw mat. The quilt on his body is the most disgusting, the cotton wool inside is broken, and he can't shake it anymore, and it's a complete lump on his body, and it can't be smooth, and it's uncomfortable to turn over and over.
The most unacceptable thing for him is the smell of the quilt, which is indescribable, as if the smell in this room is coming from here, Zhang Ruiming can only cover the quilt down, the farther away from the mouth and nose, the better, so that he can't smell the choking smell a little.
During the time he was struggling with this quilt, there were bursts of snoring around him, Zhang Ruiming didn't have to look back, he knew that Zhao Zhicai was asleep, it seems that this kid's usual quality of life is not high, or he himself came out of the "underground headquarters" built by this spring, and he was used to life here, sleeping fast and dying, at this time he was on his side, one foot stretched out of the narrow straw mat of the bed, and he would be on Zhang Ruiming with a slight movement. Zhang Ruiming could only lean against the wall of the balcony, and the whole person got up sideways and stuck to the wall, but Zhao Zhicai trembled, his body was crooked, and he pushed his knees up again.
Zhang Ruiming's heart was on fire, and he pushed him away, this time he used a little more force, he was worried about whether he would wake up Zhao Zhicai, but he didn't expect that the young man who was sleeping heavily just turned over, and then grinded his teeth violently.
The straw mat is too prickly, the smell is too strange, and the quilt is uneven, but for Zhang Ruiming, all this is uncomfortable without psychological torture, uneasiness about the future, and the longing for his family makes him unable to sleep, he recited the "personal resume" three times in his heart, but the more he memorized it, the more sober he became.
So, he took out his mobile phone from the darkness, worried about being discovered, so he didn't dare to turn on the light, just hid in the quilt, endured the strange smell of choking, opened the mobile phone album, carefully flipped out the photo of his daughter, and relied on Xuanxuan's innocent smiling face on the screen to slightly dispel the haze in his heart at this time.
…………
This night, Zhang Ruiming had a lot of nightmares, dreaming of countless cases he had handled before, dreaming of being chased and cut by the parties, and when he was about to be cut down, Zhang Ruiming was most afraid of the moment in the dream, how he expected that all this was a dream, it was all fake, so he reminded himself in the dream - all this is a dream, and the magic thing, this thought rose, and he really woke up from the disaster of death.
But after waking up, looking at this cruel reality, he suddenly felt that it was better to go back to his dream.
Zhang Ruiming turned his head and wanted to continue to return to his dream to avoid the status quo, but he heard someone next to him laughing, he opened his eyes and sat up, a few meters away on the opposite bed, a middle-aged man was looking at him with a smile, and asked in a Fushi accent: "Came last night?" Zhang Ruiming replied yes, he grinned, revealing a few vegetable leaves: "Come on, we're a family!" This was too embarrassing, Zhang Ruiming didn't know how to answer, just wanted to squeeze out a smile, a young man who was sleeping with his head covered next to him suddenly sat up, stared at Zhang Ruiming with a numb expression, looked at it for a long time, and didn't blink his eyes, just like a neurotic in the movie, Zhang Ruiming was a little scared by his staring, and just about to get up, he suddenly woke up, and cheered himself up very seriously: "Come on! Come on! Victory!!" The voice was like thunder, which startled Zhang Ruiming, thinking to himself, who is it, just get up, is it necessary to be so excited?
But he didn't expect that this inexplicable frenzy would immediately spread to the entire room, and with it, the sound of "Come on, win, win......" was like a resonant trumpet, through the windowless window, resounding through the sky.
OMG!
The first time Zhang Ruiming got up, he was stunned by such a crazy atmosphere.
He quickly gathered himself and got up to see what was going on.
The house has 5 bedrooms and sleeps 20 people. The big guy is called Chengdong, he likes others to call him "success", as if he thinks that talking is a kind of prayer, and the middle-aged man surnamed Guan on his lips, everyone calls him "Brother Guan", he is the manager here, and he is also the "top leader" of the "underground front underground command of Quanjian Group", Zhang Ruiming only woke up later, last night he waited until Zhang Ruiming and Zhao Zhicai entered the house before pretending to fall asleep, and he also deliberately chose to sleep in the bed next to Zhang Ruiming, that is, as a manager, staring at every newcomer.
Brother Guan's son is called Guan Nan and sleeps in a small room next to the toilet. They are all farmers in Fu City, Zhang Ruiming knew before that the gang where Zhao Zhicai originally stayed belonged to the "Fu City System", with nearly 300 people mainly from Fu City, in addition to the Dongjiang System and the Tianjin-Hong Kong System...... According to them, there are their comrades-in-arms in 189 cities across the country, with a total number of up to 5 million people, which is estimated to be false. However, judging from the data of Quanjian checked by Zhang Ruiming before, the underground direct sales personnel of Quanjian in the country will not be less than 1 million.
Because of a bathroom, everyone takes turns using it. They are very frugal, they only use a little water to wash their faces, and they refuse to waste even the foam of toothpaste, all of which are poured into the sewage bucket and kept for flushing the toilet. Zhang Ruiming looked at the sewage bucket floating with yellow and green things, felt numb in his heart, he couldn't get out of the tuba, and he was extremely painful in his heart, and he wanted to call Wu Zheng directly again, take this disgusting den, and get rid of himself as soon as possible.
But when I thought of Li Suhong, there was no place yet, the evidence of these people's pyramid schemes had not yet been implemented, and the deep-sea gold had not been found. Zhang Ruiming could only sigh and gave up the urge to close the net in advance.
When I got out of the toilet, I didn't expect the breakfast in this den to be as bad as Zhao Zhicai said before, there were flatbreads, steamed buns, and a plate of mustard mixed with chili peppers. Everyone's tableware is the same, all stainless steel bowls, Zhao Zhicai used a broken basin, the edge of stainless steel was turned up, revealing irregular spikes, Zhang Ruiming repeatedly reminded him to be careful with his lips, don't eat breakfast and cut his face, then Xiaoyan didn't like him even more. Zhao Zhicai just smirked, Zhang Ruiming just wanted to continue to tease him after eating a few words, Cheng Dong walked out with a smile on his face: "Boss, take you out for a walk?
"Okay! Let's go!"
Cheng Dong asked Zhang Ruiming and Zhao Zhicai to go first, saying that he and Xiaoyan would come in a while. This "while" is half an hour, at this time the autumn in Dongjiang City is very cold, Zhang Ruiming and Zhao Zhicai huddled in the alley downstairs and waited for nearly 10 minutes, Cheng Dong came out, and waited for nearly 10 minutes, Xiaoyan walked out slowly. It is expected that every day in the future, this step will be so repeated, as soon as you go out, the next staircase is a long-term project, and it always takes dozens of minutes. There is no way, their days are too long, there is nothing to do, nothing to learn, not even the entertainment to kill time, there is no end to life, only to waste and idle.
According to the internal organizational system of Quanjian Group that Zhang Ruiming learned from Zhao Zhicai before, it now seems that Cheng Dong is his "guide" and "supervisor" who goes out, and Zhao Zhicai is his "recommender".
According to Quanjian's manual on the underground front, the first day's work was mainly to "explain lies" to newcomers. In Quanjian's "underground front" language system, they call the act of deceiving people to Quanjian's den "invitation", and the lies they have told or promised during the "invitation" are all "white lies", and after arriving at the den, they have to "confess" to the newcomers, they have to explain why the situation is different from what they said before, and at the same time they have to pave the way for the next brainwashing......
In short, they have a famous saying: the world is beautiful because of lies!
Zhang Ruiming, Zhao Zhicai, Cheng Dong, and Xiaoyan were wandering slowly in the suburbs of Dongjiang City, Xiaoyan was relatively young after all, and she couldn't move when she saw the snacks on the street and the cake shop on the side of the road, and she looked pitiful, Zhang Ruiming secretly mentioned to Zhao Zhicai: "They are also quite pitiful, and besides, don't you like her?" Zhao Zhicai smiled helplessly, and with a gentle expression that Zhang Ruiming had never found before, he bought Xiaoyan an ice cream and bought her two pieces of Dove, Xiaoyan smiled brightly, Zhang Ruiming watched from behind, and suddenly felt a little sad.
If it weren't for this damn Quanjian, who would say that these two young people couldn't be a sincere and happy couple?
Walking a few streets, Cheng Dong looked at his watch, it was probably time, he suddenly quickened his pace, and led everyone to walk briskly in front, Zhang Ruiming was vigilant, opened his eyes and asked Xiaoyan: "Where are we going?"
Cheng Dong turned his head and replied, "Big brother, it's okay, I'll take you to a friend's house, and we'll go up and sit down." ”
"That friend" lives on the seventh floor, there is no elevator, Zhang Ruiming and others climbed up panting, did not knock on the door or spoke, the four of them looked at each other silently, like a group of woodcarved fools. After waiting for about a minute, Cheng Dong raised his hand and knocked on the door, and as soon as he knocked on the door, the door opened, and the person who opened the door was a tall girl, twenty-two or three years old, who was probably waiting behind the door for a long time. After greetings, she took the indulgence into a bedroom, which was similar to where Zhang Ruiming lived, and it was also two tattered beds, with quilts stacked on top of the bed, and a sullen musty smell. Next to the bed is a rickety table with 4 red plastic stools in front of it, which is where the guests are entertained. Before he sat down, Cheng Dong raised his hand very solemnly: "Brother, let me introduce you, this is what our company has done very well - Mr. Jia!" The first two sentences were very peaceful, but the last two words suddenly raised his voice, which meant that this Mr. Jia was not a mortal, and he needed to be respected, otherwise it would be blasphemy.
