Chapter 1: Downfall
"Son, are you doing well in the United States? Your third uncle, are they okay with you? ”
Although Ma De was holding the phone, he didn't know how to answer his father's question, and he sighed in his heart and told a small lie to his father. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Everything is fine, the third uncle is good to me, Dad, don't worry, everything is good here, but the phone bill is a bit expensive, I won't talk to you more." Next time I'm calling you, you have to pay attention to your body. ”
After his father Ma Changqing heard that the phone bill was very expensive, he also suppressed the thoughts in his heart, and hung up after two more sentences.
Ma De felt very bad after the phone call, today is the 17th day of his arrival in New York, and Ma De does not know what he should do in the future.
It all starts with that damn third uncle.
Ma De's family is in Suining, a small city in Sichuan, and his mother went early, and he has lived with his father since he was a child. After his mother left, the burden of the family was on his father, who raised him as a father and mother since he was a child.
The two have been dependent on each other until Ma De was 18 years old, that is, during the Spring Festival this year.
After his father's younger brother, his third uncle, returned from the United States, he broke the original life of the two fathers and sons.
The third uncle went to the United States to work ten years ago, and Naodao only returned to China for the first time this year.
The grandparents died early, and the third uncle lived in Made's house after he returned.
After a drink, the third uncle told his father that he worked at the New York Business School in the United States, and knew many high-level people in the school, and he could bring his nephew Ma De to the United States to go to college, but it would cost a lot of money.
My father thought that Ma De's grades would not be able to get into a good university in China, and now he has the opportunity to go to college in the United States.
After hearing the third uncle's introduction, this university is also a relatively good university in the United States, Ma Changqing asked Ma De to check the New York Business School on the Internet and also looked at the introduction of the school, which seems to be indeed the top school in the United States.
Ma De and his father also moved to go to this school, after all, the returnees in 2006 are still very popular.
The third uncle told his father that if he wanted Ma De to go, he would prepare 120,000 US dollars, and the tuition fee would be 18,000 US dollars a year, and he would help Ma De pay 100,000 US dollars in sponsorship fees to get the admission notice. The remaining $4,000 was enough for Mader's expenses for the first few months, and when Mader got acquainted with him, he worked with him to earn his living expenses and tuition.
Then the third uncle introduced some celebrities in the United States and told them that these people earn their own tuition and living expenses, and they can believe that you can also do it.
Ma De looked for the celebrities mentioned by the third uncle again, and they all worked and studied in college, thinking that they could do it themselves.
The third uncle and his father discussed with Ma De, and after his father paid the first year's tuition, he earned his own tuition and living expenses, even if he worked hard, he could finish three years, and said that he was not a fool in vain for so many years in the United States.
Ma De and his father were also very moved when they saw the third uncle say this, the third uncle helped him solve the problem of money, and the rest only needed to pay tuition and living expenses, and it was a big deal to return it to the third uncle after he graduated and went to work.
The father listened to the third uncle's words, gritted his teeth and agreed to the third uncle's suggestion.
The third uncle returned to the United States after the Spring Festival, and in less than two months, he really sent Ma De an admission letter to a New York language school, and told Ma De that if he wanted to go to New York Business School, he must pass a 6-month language study test.
Father and son are right to think about it, you can't understand the language in class.
In this way, my father sold the house for 220,000 yuan plus the previous deposit of 40,000 yuan, exchanged 20,000 US dollars and sent it to the third uncle as a tuition fee (business school and language school), helped Ma De buy a plane ticket to New York and 200 US dollars in cash, and let Ma De go to the United States to start his study career.
Ma De's father took the remaining tens of thousands of yuan to Shenzhen to work after Ma De left.
After Ma De arrived in New York, the third uncle took Ma De to the language school to go through the enrollment procedures, and he did not show up.
In the first two days, Ma De did not feel that he had been cheated, and in the language school, Ma De met several Chinese self-financed students, and their family conditions were very good. After everyone sat down and chatted, Ma De found that the tuition fees paid by these international students in this language school were much higher than his own, and Ma De proudly told these people that his third uncle worked at the New York Business School, and there were many acquaintances in the education circle in New York, and his admission fee was only 2,000 US dollars.
These 17 and 18-year-old second generations originally looked down on poor students like Ma De, but now when they heard that Ma De's third uncle worked at the New York Business School, and then Ma De might enter the New York Business School, they began to pay attention to Ma De.
The second generation began to consciously inquire about the situation of the third uncle Ma De, and during this period, two second generations of coal who had been studying in the language school for three months were particularly concerned about Ma De.
These two guys were deceived to the United States by intermediary schools in China, and the college admission applications that were supposed to be good have not been obtained yet, and no one paid attention to the admission letter of a pheasant university.
Originally, these two people were going to return to China after completing the 6-month language course, but after listening to Ma De's introduction, they began to feel a little excited, wanting to see if they could get a better regular university through Ma De.
After listening to the words of these two people, Ma De said very arrogantly that he would talk to the third uncle to see if he had a way.
Slowly Ma De also became friends with these two unlucky guys, the unlucky guy No. 1 is called Wang Yong's family has more than a dozen coal mines in Shanxi, and he is the richest one in a group of rich second generations, and the unlucky guy No. 2 is a big fat man named Li Decai, who has only one small coal mine in his family and is considered a rich man.
Ma De lived in the apartment shared by Wang Yong and Li Decai in this way, and the food and drink were all covered by these two guys, and the money he brought was not spent.
After more than ten days like this, Ma De began to realize that something was wrong, and the third uncle never showed up since he sent him to school, and his mobile phone was either unanswered or turned off.
Until the night before yesterday, the third uncle called and confessed to Ma De that he had no choice but to deceive Ma De's father and son because of his gambling debts, and the money was paid off the gambling debts, and he was ready to go to another city, and for the sake of his relatives, he spent 5,000 yuan to help Ma De apply for this language school, and told Ma De to study hard, not to come to the United States in vain, and he didn't have to contact himself in the future, and he wouldn't use this number.
After some instructions, he hung up the phone, and Mader didn't turn off the phone after calling again.
To put it simply, you have been deceived and will have to be self-reliant in the future.
Mader doesn't know what to do now? I don't know the place well, I don't know the language, and what's worse is that if the unlucky people know their situation, they won't be able to get out of the way, even if they have a few hundred dollars on them, they won't be able to sleep on the streets for long.
At present, I can only stabilize these two guys, learn the language by myself during the day, and try my luck in Chinatown in the afternoon to see if I can find a job.
Obviously, to this day, Ma De still hasn't found a job, and the two second generations who have been fooled are becoming more and more impatient with Ma De's legendary third uncle incident.
