Chapter Twenty-Five: They All Know Each Other
How gorgeous and moving is the night of S City, which is shrouded in the vast night: the bright street lamps illuminate strange objects near and far, and reveal a layer of dreamlike colors; The wide and flat streets are full of people, cars and horses, like a flowing picture; The various flowers placed in front of the roadside flower shop are vibrant, fresh and pleasant; The lush street trees and the modern buildings of various shapes are set against each other.
At this time, Lu Xiaobai and Lin Ruoxi were walking slowly on the street of a flower market, they were chatting, and their faces were full of happy smiles, like a close couple.
Lin Ruoxi told Lu Xiaobai that after she broke up with him at the police station nine years ago, she was also very concerned about him, regretting that she didn't ask him for his aunt's residential address, so that she couldn't find him. She asked him if he had been doing with his aunt's house, and he sighed and said that it was not good, and that his aunt was mean to him, and told him some things about how his aunt had treated him harshly. Lin Ruoxi was very surprised and angry when she heard this, she didn't expect that there would be such a fierce woman in the world who treated her nephew, she deeply sympathized with his misfortune, and encouraged him to work hard and make a career for his aunt.
Her comfort was like a warm spring breeze, which made his heart ripple with emotion, and he knew that he didn't look away at the beginning, she was the best girl in the world who knew how to care about people, and with her, life would become very beautiful. He secretly made up his mind that he must work hard to earn money through Guò and then marry her.
Since they are all promoters of the "Wealth Plan" of Hengjiu Biotech, the topic naturally comes to work. He asked her when she became a member of the company and how she felt about doing it. She said that she became a member a month ago, when it was the most intense stage of preparing for the college entrance examination, but she had a good time to follow
Seeing her obsessed appearance, Lu Xiaobai couldn't help but laugh secretly, and said in her heart that you have been bewitched by pyramid schemes. Although he has entered the pyramid scheme organization, he has a completely different idea from her, he is a person who has not entered the heart, and those high-sounding words that he said in front of everyone at the venue today are actually words that are contrary to his will in order to confuse others; However, she did it with a pious attitude, and she regarded it as a spiritual belonging.
According to his understanding, the health care products that circulated from Zeng Jiabao to the hands of the offline are all three-no products, and the following points are enough to confirm: first, there is no contact information of the manufacturer on the product packaging box; second, it claims to be a high-tech health care product, but cannot provide information about scientific research institutions and R&D personnel; Third, the product packaging box is not printed with the "blue hat" logo. Moreover, he also deliberately searched on the Internet, but did not find any relevant information about Hengjiu Biotechnology Company.
Why did he know this? It turned out that he worked as a part-time salesman in a health care product company during the summer vacation a year ago, and the manager of the company taught him how to identify fake and shoddy health care products, so he had experience in this area.
He hesitated again and again, should he tell her about the fraud of the "Hengjiu Biotechnology Company" that he knew? On the one hand, she is an important girl in his life, and he naturally does not want her to be harmed in any way; On the other hand, if she were to tell her the truth, then she would most likely give up the so-called great career in her heart, go back to school, and fight for her college dream, so that they would have relatively few opportunities to get in touch with her, and it would not be so easy for him to pursue her. However, it would be a different story if they often got together because of the "same dream", and he could talk to her whenever and wherever he wanted, strengthen their affection for each other, and then find an opportunity to express his love to her.
After weighing it up, he finally chose not to tell her the truth, he knew it was selfish to do so, but, in order to cultivate a relationship with her, he would rather "be sorry" for her.
They walked for about 20 minutes and arrived at the gate of the community where her family lived. The community has a heavily guarded gate. They stood in front of the gate and chatted for a while, and suddenly, he saw Feng Tianyu coming out of the community, and at the same time, Feng Tianyu also saw the two of them standing under the light.
Feng Tianyu greeted him in a few arrows, and asked in surprise: "Lu Xiaobai, Lin Ruoxi, how can you be together?" ”
Lu Xiaobai was also surprised and said, "Brother Tianyu, it turns out that you and Lin Ruoxi know each other!" ”
Lin Ruoxi was also very surprised, and asked happily: "Tianyu, how did you and Xiaobai meet?" ”
"Xiaobai and I are classmates in elementary school and junior high school." Feng Tianyu's eyebrows fluttered, and then he said to Lu Xiaobai: "Lin Ruoxi and I are high school classmates. Xiaobai, how did you and Lin Ruoxi meet? ”
"Lin Ruoxi is my life-saving benefactor, if it weren't for her, I am afraid I would have been killed in the kidnapping case nine years ago." Lu Xiaobai can't let go of that tragic experience.
Feng Tianyu had heard Lu Xiaobai talk about his kidnapping, but he didn't seem to have heard him mention Lin Ruoxi.
Why is Feng Tianyu here? It turned out that Lin Ruoxi's mother went to the clinic for an injection this afternoon because of stomach pain, and he also went to the clinic to grab medicine because of throat inflammation, and happened to meet her (he had been to Lin Ruoxi's house, so he knew her mother), he saw that she was pale and weak, so he offered to help her go home. She could have gone home on her own, but seeing that he was an old-fashioned and warm-hearted person and a good classmate of her daughter, she couldn't help but be full of joy and readily agreed to him. After she left him at home for dinner, he waited for Lin Ruoxi for a while, but still didn't see her come back, so he got up to say goodbye, but he ran into them at the door.
Lin Ruoxi wanted to develop Feng Tianyu into a promoter of the "Wealth Plan" of Hengjiu Biotechnology Company, so she said with great interest that she and Xiaobai are now engaged in a promising career, advocating that it is one of the greatest business opportunities of the 21st century, and a fair opportunity for ordinary people to realize their dreams in life through hard work, and sincerely invited him to participate in the company's entrepreneurship briefing this Sunday.
What is the great business opportunity? What is the fulfillment of life's dreams? Feng Tianyu heard it in a fog, and couldn't help asking, "Please make it clearer, what is it?" ”
"Networking Marketing!"
"I haven't heard of it, I've only heard of pyramid schemes." Feng Tianyu still didn't quite understand and didn't quite believe it.
Lin Ruoxi said patiently: "MLM is expressly prohibited by the state and is illegal, and network marketing is allowed by the state, as long as it is a legal citizen, everyone can engage in it." And, as long as you work hard, everyone can make a lot of money! ”
Lu Xiaobai couldn't help but want to laugh, and said in his heart: How could he say such a brainless thing? Engaged in pyramid schemes, only a few traders and the top of the pyramid make money, and the rest will become victims! She may have been wrongly instilled by Tsang Jiabao's notion that "everyone can make a lot of money".
Feng Tianyu didn't think about it as far-reachingly, he only felt that she was very abstract, and he was still confused, and he didn't know what the business opportunities she was talking about were and whether she could do it. However, he understands her personality, she will definitely not lie to him, in order to be responsible for her, responsible for Xiaobai, and at the same time give himself a chance, he decided to participate in the business briefing she said when the time comes, take a closer look, if it is really as good as she said, it doesn't hurt to participate in it, if it is just a game of money, then he will dissuade them from doing it, so as not to get embarrassed if they don't eat mutton.
Lu Xiaobai didn't say a word about this matter, because Feng Tianyu was his eldest brother, he didn't want him to get involved, and finally killed him, but he couldn't tell him the truth, so it would definitely not be good for Lin Ruoxi to know.
After everyone chatted for a while, Lu Xiaobai and Feng Tianyu said goodbye to Lin Ruoxi together, and then they hooked their shoulders and walked towards a nearby café with a smile, and after entering the café, Lu Xiaobai ordered two cups of coffee.
They hadn't seen each other for three months, and they were both very happy to meet each other this time, ready to catch up and talk about their plans for the future.
After a while, the good-looking young waitress brought the steaming coffee, placed it on the long, coffee-colored wooden table, politely said "slow use", and then turned away.
Lu Xiaobai added sugar to the coffee, and then stirred the coffee clockwise in the cup with a small spoon for a while to make the sugar melt faster. He took a sip gently, feeling a little bitter, and after swallowing, there was a fragrant flavor in his mouth, he loved this unique taste, savored it, and couldn't get enough.
Feng Tianyu drank coffee for the first time, he saw Lu Xiaobai adding sugar and stirring, and he also followed the gourd painting scoop to add sugar and stir, he smelled the fragrant coffee smell that hit his nose, and thought that the taste was very refreshing, so he took a big sip of the cup, and couldn't help frowning, only to feel bitter, as if drinking medicine, almost didn't spit it out.
Seeing this, Lu Xiaobai couldn't help laughing, so he asked, "Are you used to drinking?" ”
Feng Tianyu said embarrassedly: "I've never drunk it, it's a little unaccustomed." ”
"A cup of milk tea?" Lu Xiaobai still looked at him with a smile, and wanted to stand up and call the waiter.
Feng Tianyu hurriedly stood up and dissuaded: "No need! Will. ”
Lu Xiaobai didn't insist and asked, "Brother Tianyu, have you been admitted to the university?" ”
"I didn't get it." Feng Tianyu sat down and said calmly.
"Ready to repeat?"
"Well, I'm not going to repeat it. My mother is diabetic and my sister is still young, they all need to be taken care of, and I have to take care of them. Feng Tianyu's tone was full of disappointment and helplessness, he wished that his adoptive father was still alive, and with him taking care of his mother and sister, his studies would not be abandoned halfway.
"Actually, people have many choices, and going to college is not necessarily the best way out. Perhaps, after studying in college, you will unconsciously set limits on yourself and always go around in a relatively narrow circle. Why do I think so? Because it is easier for you to find an easy job with a high degree of education, you will continue to develop your potential in that field, and as you continue to accumulate experience, you will become better and better, and you will enjoy the preferential treatment provided by your boss at the same time, but also feel good about yourself, be content with the status quo, and will not have new ideals and pursuits, or even if you occasionally have ideas, you are too lazy to put them into action. Lu Xiaobai talked eloquently, took a sip of coffee and continued, "However, there are many big bosses with a lot of money, who didn't study much at the beginning, and some didn't even finish elementary school, and what is even more ironic is that many of the employees they hire are pretentious college students." Why do you become a big boss instead of being educated? Because they lived at the bottom of the society, they may have to work hard for three meals a day, and sometimes they even have one meal but no next, and their poverty forces them to think about how to change the status quo. They know the hardships of starting a business, but they firmly believe that they will see a rainbow after the storm. They set goals, are down-to-earth, and take steps from scratch, of course, there will inevitably be difficulties and failures on the road to entrepreneurship, but they have superhuman confidence and courage, not afraid of difficulties, and fail to start over. They gather sand into a tower, gather armpits into fur, and their careers are getting bigger and bigger, and finally become remarkable successful people. So don't be discouraged if you don't get into college, as long as you have a goal to strive for, you can still succeed! ”
Lu Xiaobai's words were not only a heartfelt emotion, but also a comfort to Feng Tianyu in confusion.
Although Feng Tianyu didn't fully agree with his point of view, he could only comfort himself like this now.
