Chapter 18: Sweet Dreams
"I'll let the president of country M wash my feet with hot water first, and if he does a good job, I don't mind buying country M. There is nothing in this world that money can't buy, the other party doesn't make an offer, just because they believe that you can't afford to pay their appetite in your pocket, just like women will not expose their price in front of a poor bastard, they are noble and inviolable, they will remain reserved in front of everyone, or they are eager to label themselves with a priceless price, but as long as you are really rich, when you break into their lives in a suit and leather shoes in a limited sports car, they will tear off their original price without hesitation and sell themselves to you at a discount, Even if you look like a pig's head and a horse's face. With so much money, I can step into the highest level of this world to know or know about the political and metallurgical conspiracy that the people of Pingyin do not know, provided that I have full control over the use of this money. ”
"The money is in my card, is there still a fake? Even if I really want to buy a country M the next moment, as long as I can afford it, can't I still use them? Kyung-hee asked.
"If I were the president of country M, what do you think I would do?"
Jingxi snorted, saying that he was looking forward to Kai Wei's next speech.
"Of course I'll accept the deal, but in fact all I have to do is hire a killer to kill you after you send a huge amount of money to my account, with a drop of water from the sea with a drop of money you gave me. If I do that, what can you do? You have nothing to do, and even though you have so much money, you don't use the power of that money. You don't have a bunch of bodyguards around you, you don't have army tanks in front of you, you don't have atomic bombs and nuclear weapons behind your back, what do you do with the leader of a country, so I say that in fact you don't have the real right to use the money at all, you can only be like an insignificant little person, even if you turn on the faucet and let the water flow away, but in a hundred years, you will not see the sea dry up because of this. ”
"I don't think there's anything wrong with being a little person, I don't envy others for their brilliance, on the contrary, I just want to be a little grass in the shade of a tree. So this money bothers me a lot. I can't pretend that there is no money, because it is, in my bank account, and although it is just a string of numeric codes, it can be arranged into a string of spells that overwhelm me. 4654154985614651......" Jingxi recited a series of numbers, learning the witch to pronounce a curse, and others might say, come on, curse me for the glory and wealth of my life.
"I have four houses." Kai Wei said suddenly.
"Even now, are you still going to show off your wealth in front of me?"
"Since I was a child, I refused everything my parents gave me, including three meals a day, boarding, and parenting expenses, I was clear, I grew up day by day, I mean the body, so I only ran to ask my parents to borrow money to buy clothes when I couldn't wear old clothes anymore, I would write IOUs, and I also had a book to record these. At that time, I started to notice some problems, and I found that the school didn't teach us how to make money. I started to hate classes, and my academic performance slowly went downhill, so I finally met you at the bottom. Kai Wei laughed as he spoke.
"I don't welcome you, the teacher thinks I'm bringing you badly, it's funny, if I had this ability, I would make every student in the class score zero on the test."
"Teachers think that students' academic performance will affect their lives, I think as teachers, they must have full marks in primary school exams, they love learning, so when they grow up, they want to be teachers to teach children to study hard, and when they grow up, they can be a good teacher. But in reality, they don't think they're promising, they're self-hypnotizing, and they're proud to be celestial gardeners, but I dare say they want to receive bribes from every parent. Deep down, they must think that a person with a lot of money is definitely the kind of person who has a lot of money, at least a house and a car, and has millions of assets in his bank account, and if the elementary school teacher wants to hold a party, I will definitely print out the balance in my account and stick it on my face to participate. Do you know what I'm talking about? ”
"Yes." Jingxi said.
"You only know the literal meaning, you don't know what I'm going to say."
"Then what exactly do you want to say?"
"I want to say that money is a must for anyone, the more it is, the better, no one will dislike their money, this is a society that is built up of a huge economy and material accumulation, although the laws of the country tell us that everyone is equal, but you have to be white, rich people look down on the poor, they think that the poor are waste who can't make money, my business partners are all elderly people, even if they are amiable on the surface, but one day I will be penniless, They don't still drink and eat with an 18-year-old guy who has just come of age, talk about everything, and the next second they will act like they never knew you. Because if I don't have money, I don't have an identity, and if I don't have an identity, I don't accompany them and sit on an equal footing. They don't waste their precious time sympathizing with a loser. On the other hand, if I had more money than they did, those old guys wouldn't mind bowing my head and slapping my horse before my hair was full. That's the reality. ”
"Are you sure you won't feel the slightest bit uneasy when the amount of money reaches such a staggering level? This is my grandfather's legacy to me, I don't remember my grandfather used to be so rich, I grew up in the countryside with my grandfather. I'd rather not have this money if I could. Does money change a person? Will it also change the people around him? ”
"You're talking about the eagle."
Jingxi didn't speak, indicating acquiescence.
"Don't worry, that guy only shouts and kills, if you tell him about money, he will think you are insulting him, he is simply the kind of person who carries a baseball bat from the nineteenth and fifties of the nineteenth century, full of swords and swords. He will only talk to you about righteousness and rules, and occasionally ask you if his new hat looks good. He doesn't care how much money you have, the leader of the country can be his brother, the prisoner in the prison can be his brother, and even the beggar on the street can ask him to borrow money, as long as he makes the beggar his brother. Xiao Qing, you don't have to be careful, that guy has no brains, and we knew it from the first day we met. You could say he's not pretentious, but in other words, he's a retarded idiot. ”
With the appearance of Xiao Qing and Ying coming to mind, as well as the scene when they first met, Jing Xi smiled.
"But I'm still worried, the eagle's reaction today is a little strange."
"Today, what time is it in the morning, let me see." As he spoke, Kai Wei took out the phone in his pocket.
"Well, it was yesterday, in the cafeteria, the eagle behaved strangely."
"Do you think it's because you got rich overnight? What's the use of thinking so much, why don't you wait for a cloudy day to ask him. ”
Hearing Kai Wei's suggestion, Jing Xi smiled with relief, thinking to himself, why don't you wait for a cloudy day to ask him.
"Get a good night's sleep. There is also a qualifier on a cloudy afternoon. Don't miss out on the game when you can't get up. Seeing Jingxi's smile, Kai Wei patted him on the shoulder and said.
Kai Wei got into the car and winked at Jing Hee, smiled and drove away. Jingxi shook his head impatiently, waved his hand and told him to walk quickly so as not to make his eyes uncomfortable. He also walked into the house that his grandfather had left him.
He went straight to the bathroom, took a hot shower, and returned to the bedroom wrapped in a bath towel. Turning off the light, he sat on the edge of the floppy bed and stared into the darkness. His spirits were getting better and better, and he didn't feel sleepy at all.
He remembered a lot of things, the deceased grandfather, the astronomical inheritance, eleven years ago, the memories of his childhood became more and more blurred, he only remembered that at that time, he was naughty and asked his grandfather, who was seriously ill and hospitalized, to buy him a bowl of his favorite flat meat, but his grandfather ignored the hot midsummer afternoon in June, insisted on sneaking out of the hospital, pulled out the infusion tube, walked slowly on crutches, like a thousand-year-old turtle urging death.
That afternoon, Kyung-hee didn't wait for his grandfather to come back with his favorite flat meat. At that time, he didn't know anything, he didn't know the preciousness of life, the fear of death. He thought that his grandfather would live forever and would not leave him, even if he was old and weak to the extreme, he could no longer hold him, he could no longer be a horse to ride, and he could never return to the old man who was walking like a fly, Jing Xi still naively thought that his grandfather would always live well, accompany him and grow up with him day by day.
He was taken back to his grandmother's house, who guarded him like a hypocritical prison guard in sheep's clothing, treating him like a prisoner. She remembered her grandmother's vicious eyes, and the hoarse curse that came out of her mouth with less than three teeth left. He was like a monkey in a zoo, or some other poor animal, but the first thing he saw was a monkey. The relatives who came to visit him were all ill-intentioned, and they were talking to him with a lot of tricks on the one hand, and secretly planning how to fight for his grandfather's inheritance.
He began to confess why his relatives were greedy for his grandfather's inheritance like a demon, because anyone who received his inheritance, even a very small part, could be rich.
He spent his childhood in the countryside growing up with his grandfather, who only knew that his grandfather was a creditor and that there were many people who owed him money. His grandfather was very low-key, like the grandfather of the most ordinary people, he often hunched over, old and long, in fact, his eyes were sharp, and his back was as straight as steel. His grandfather was kind and always had a kind smile on his face, but many of the people who saw him were as timid as kittens in front of tigers and leopards, especially the muscular men in black uniforms, who often formed in groups and in straight rows, like a high wall of black paint.
Jing Xi tried hard to recall everything, but he didn't remember even the name of a relative, the appearance of a relative. It's like a memory written on a chalkboard with chalk, and even if you don't wipe it down, the wind can blow them beyond recognition in a few days.
All he remembered was that at the end, he was taken away by a tall, thin and good-looking teenager in a black uniform. The hands of the teenage brother are large, warm, and as soft as the hands of a newborn baby. He held the hand of the young Jingxi and swaggered out of there, that day his relatives seemed to have all arrived, even if it was the New Year, he had never seen him have so many relatives, that could simply weave into a large army. They stood in two rows, their eyes full of displeasure and anger, but no one dared to step forward, the picture in their memory was so quiet, no one dared to say a word, and in the oppressive atmosphere, only the crisp sound of the bell on the young brother's body that was tied to him and the sound of their two rhythmic steps folding together.
Jing Xi remembered the appearance of that young brother, how could he forget, that young man had always lived in his heart, protecting him and not letting him be hurt at all.
Kyung-hee got into a black car, the first time in his life that he had sat in a four-wheeled car, and if he remembered the scene inside the car, he would have known that he would never have the opportunity to ride in such a luxurious and noble car again in his lifetime. Unless the black technology beyond the company turns to the research and development of the car, or the teenager one day drives that car back in front of him.
When they arrived at the hospital, he saw many strangers surrounding his grandfather, and the only one he knew was his father, Jing Kaifu. They were dressed differently, and he was sure none of them were doctors and nurses. His grandfather was lying on the bed, his eyes always looking at the door, but he was long gone.
His eyes were wide open, bigger than ever, and he had been waiting for his grandson to appear, to take one last look at him, to touch his head properly, to smile at him properly, but he had not waited, just as he had waited for a few days to wait for him to appear, to eat hot flat meat in front of him, and to act recklessly.
At that moment, looking at the old man's eyes, he suddenly turned pale for one thing, that is, his grandfather would not be stepping out of that hospital bed.
Despair swept over his heart, everything in front of him blurred and even distorted in front of his wet eyes, and what happened after that, he couldn't remember. Later, he lived in a bustling city with his stepmother and stepmother's daughter. When he heard that his mother was there, he went mad and was admitted to a psychiatric hospital, and soon after hanged himself.
Jing Xi didn't have the slightest impression of his mother, as if he was conceived and born by Jing Kaifu himself. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, his mother had just died, and he was immediately assigned to his stepmother. It's too fast, too fast to be true.
He felt strange, but he didn't know what to do, he didn't remember anything, and he didn't know where his hometown was if he wanted to find his former relatives, what they looked like and what their names were.
Do you want to ask his father?
Jing Xi shook his head, he suddenly remembered a person, Wu Xiaosheng, the lawyer invited by his grandfather, maybe he knew something.
The lights in the room were turned on, and Kyung-hee rummaged through the bedroom, finally finding the business card left by Lawyer Wu under the BTT0 that he didn't know what it was used for, with his phone number and the address of the office.
Jing Xi set the alarm clock in the morning, and fell asleep, and in the early hours of that morning, he had a dream, he dreamed that he and Kai Wei had met Xiao Qing and Ying together. He smiled as he fell asleep.
