Volume I, Chapter 5, The Rich Man, October 2106
In KmiTV, Zhang Xiaozhu enjoys the feeling of hugging left and right, ah, this feeling, he feels that he is about to be softly melted by the fragrance of the left and right...... However, instead of hugging left and right, he wants to get another feeling, an ideal feeling: after a few glasses of wine, Zhang Xiaozhu talked about his ideal again: plastic surgery, taking off the mask, and becoming a normal person.
Speaking of plastic surgery, this Li Gouzi also had a big tumor on his face, and now, the big tumor is gone, and on his face, only when he looks closely, he can still see a shallow scar. It's no wonder that Zhang Xiaozhu didn't recognize Li Gouzi at all when he first saw him, but Li Gouzi recognized himself first.
Moreover, Zhang Xiaozhu kept looking at Li Gouzi's "dog legs" during the banquet, this kid has a disability in his left leg, and now, he can't even see it, and the aisle is exactly the same as ordinary people.
"Got a high-end prosthetic." Li Gouzi explained, "It cost more than 200,000 C yuan. Li Gouzi put a wide swing by the way.
After thirty years of drinking, Zhang Xiaozhu really couldn't wait to open his mouth to borrow money from Li Gouzi. However, when this old friend meets, he gets together at the end of the world, and he asks to borrow money for the first time he meets, which hurts his feelings, and how can others lend you this poor bastard?
He had to be stupid, looking for a long-lost comfort in the soft arms of the left and right, and anesthetized himself by wine, by light and shadow, by the smell of perfume.
"This life is too short," Li Gouzi suddenly sighed, "Look at it, the pollution is so serious now, maybe one day, a piece of paper from the hospital will be thrown into your hand, so that you can prepare for the future." ”
Of course, Zhang Xiaozhu doesn't like to listen to these words, who likes to listen to them? But Li Gouzi was already over thirty or forty years old, and he couldn't hold it when he opened the conversation.
The wine girl next to her was also vigorously following Li Gouzi's words next to her, the big boss got sick and died again, and the big boss went to the hospital again.
Zhang Xiaozhu gradually felt very uncomfortable, and a faint worry finally broke out in his heart: just a few days ago, when he was surfing the Internet, Zhang Xiaozhu came into contact with a new term, called the "logarithmic average age of the population" indicator, this indicator, from 60 years ago on average, has now dropped to 35 years old - Zhang Xiaozhu recalled that for more than a year, indeed, many workers in their thirties got sick, returned to the countryside, and then, there was no more news.
Are we really, really, not living long? Am I only 16 years old?
"Life is too short." Li Gouzi shouted again, his mouth full of wine, "Brother, look at you, you are strong, a dignified seven-foot man, but in this small city, earn that hard money, you just said that you want to do plastic surgery, according to your current salary, how long do you have to earn to make up the money?" ”
Li Gouzi's words undoubtedly asked Zhang Xiaozhu's heart, in front of the arrogant Li Gouzi, he was speechless, just drank a large glass of red wine handed over by the wine girl.
A few days later.
Workers at the construction site did not know when Zhang Xiaozhu had left the construction site, and he did not even take any of his clothes, not even his favorite mask, wig and mirror.
Another night passed, and after a night of heavy rain, Zhang Xiaozhu's footprints when he left were also washed away.
- Two years later: on XX/XX/2108, another city: NJ in country C.
Two years have passed, Zhang Xiaozhu is no longer the Zhang Xiaozhu he was before, the master introduced the door, and the cultivation depends on the individual. Back then, Li Gouzi introduced Zhang Xiaozhu into the door, and now, Zhang Xiaozhu is already a big and small hall master in the doorway. However, if it is external affairs, Zhang Xiaozhu's identity is naturally not the hall master, but the "general manager of Huantai International".
The people around him call Zhang Xiaozhu Brother Zhu.
Brother Zhu runs an Internet café, "Yiyi Internet Cafe", but here, it is not just an Internet café, the Internet café is only on the first floor, and the upstairs is a secret club. It is here that Zhang Xiaozhu runs his P2P "international business", "Pacific Rim International".
Li Gouzi took the goods from the Golden Triangle and exchanged them for cash, while Brother Zhu was responsible for falsifying various project approval materials through the five registered P2P loan companies, laundering the cash and turning "dirty money" into "clean" money.
Of course, to do such a business, you will definitely have to do some murder and arson, although Zhang Xiaozhu disagrees, but one of Li Gouzi's subordinates recently forced a man named "Sima Li" to death, and the benefits were not reaped, but instead provoked a horse flea - when the person died, who would pay back the money he borrowed? Do you want to go to his sister? His sister is a policeman. Zhang Xiaozhu felt that Li Gouzi's subordinates were not very good at handling things.
Although it is not a legitimate business, it is very well run in Brother Zhu's company, better than a regular company, and he never owes wages.
Knowledgeable people know that in Huantai International, Zhuge's company, the labor force is very cheap, not only cheap, but also loyal and reliable. The people who work here, they used to be the same as Zhang Xiaozhu, they were "people with masks", that thin mask, yes, that mask is very booky, but the same experience of growing up in an orphanage, this emotion is extremely heavy...... No matter how the aesthetics of this world change, they are always, together, living in the gaze of being despised by normal people.
(It's a face-looking society.) Zhang Xiaozhu sat in the secret club on the second floor of the "Yiyi Internet Cafe", smoking a cigar, and at the same time, like a company CEO, on the computer, reviewing various affairs, inadvertently, he remembered this sentence again. (When is this society a society that looks at faces?) )
These workers in Zhang Xiaozhu's company are all his "mask man" brothers. Zhang Xiaozhu understands everything they want, everything is very simple, that is, to be simple and live the life of an ordinary person. So, their requirements are really low, just to live the life of ordinary people. And in ordinary people's lives, they don't have the most important link: a normal face.
Brother Zhu gets their loyalty, it's really simple, just give 10% more than the wages of temporary workers on the construction site, too much money can't buy loyalty, it will only fuel greed, for two years, Zhang Xiaozhu has been doing this, tried and tested. didn't spend too much money, but stabilized the loyalty of the same disease.
In Brother Zhu's company, you don't need to have a sound body, and you don't need to have a beautiful face, you just need loyalty and initiative here.
The problem of manual work, non-core labor, non-confidential departments, Zhang Xiaozhu and Li Gouzi both solve the problem by purchasing the services provided by a third-party labor company, and the labor force sent by the third-party company is all able-bodied. This is a kind of unsurpassed glory, the "mask man" became the boss, and the able-bodied person worked for the "mask man", this, two years ago, Zhang Xiaozhu didn't even dare to think about it, and two years later, this suddenly became a reality, but it was like a dream.
Therefore, the "brothers" who work in Brother Zhu's company all feel that the "mask man" has turned over and become the master, and they are very grateful to Brother Zhu from the bottom of their hearts, in their lifetime, they can let them live a normal life, and turn their inferiority complex into self-confidence.
Moreover, although the money given by Brother Zhu is not much, when he needs money, Brother Zhu Ken will definitely help.
Many of Zhang Xiaozhu's "brothers" also suffer from facial disabilities. Anyone who is down-to-earth and loyal, Zhang Xiaozhu paid for them to have facial plastic surgery, and they were all successful, and there were no sequelae, but only Zhang Xiaozhu was the only one...... Two years, saying that the past has passed, he consulted doctors and friends, but none of the doctors came up with a plan to meet his requirements, and he never met his "nobleman".
