Chapter 1: Downfall
In the spring of March, the grass grows and the warbler flies.
Yangzhou's head is high, and during the busiest time of the day, the streets are full of pedestrians.
On the crowded sidewalk, an ordinary-looking middle-aged man walked among them, his face full of vicissitudes of life, full of helplessness and sorrow.
Yi Chi, who is also twenty-eight years old this year, wants to say that this is a good prime time, but Yi Chi has a vicissitudes of life, and some people believe that he is forty.
If you want to say this Yangzhou, it is also gold everywhere to be earned, I want to be far away from my hometown at the beginning, and it is precisely after listening to the rumors that who wants to pass the year is unfavorable, and the hard work of the past few years has been lost.
Who doesn't have a hot-blooded youth, Yi Chi, who has just graduated from college, is also like those trendy young people, thinking about starting his own business and making a living by himself, but it is so easy to start a business, one hand to earn and one hand to lose, there are in and out, a few years have also made Yi Chi see the world clearly, no longer have the vigor that just graduated from college, the whole person is like carved with vicissitudes.
Originally, this life was easy to live, but this society is like this, what the superior wants, then the inferior like them have to be.
"Isn't it because she gave me one more look, as for making me poor? Damn Tan Wei, damn Tan family. "Yi Chi was looked at a few more times by the daughter of a wealthy local family, and he smiled more, just this bit of, the young owner of the Tan Group couldn't see it.
Tanshi Group is a large company, a multinational enterprise, which is compared to Yi Chi, a person who does small business.
In a word, the business that was originally negotiated with Yi Chi was blown up.
What? Contract?
In the eyes of those people, the law is a plaything, and they still care about the broken contract.
In the end, it was not he Yichi who suffered.
The goods in the warehouse are all in the house, but the buyer doesn't want it, how can he be embarrassed to call him Yi Chiqing!
"Little people, hehe, big people, hehe, hehahaha" laughed like crazy for a while, and the people around were full of surprise, Yi Chi left angrily.
He can only endure it
How many 28 years does a person's life have? Yi Chi didn't know how others were, but he knew that he might only have this one 28 years.
"Those guys won't let me go. Yi Chi said to the bartender in a bar not far from his home, he didn't understand what he was saying at all, he just needed an object to talk to, and whether the object understood or not was another matter.
The staff of the Magic Lantern Bar was obviously trained, even the bartender who was pulled by Yi Chi and said a lot of words that he didn't understand, but he didn't see any annoyed expression, and he still had that professional smile.
"You know what? I spent a lot of effort for this business, I accompanied the wine, invited guests, and spent a lot of money to go out, but it was just someone else's words, and it was blown like this, bastard! Rich is amazing! Powerful is amazing!" Yi Chi drunkenly said his misfortune.
The bartender was already full of helplessness: "When is this guy going to talk about?" Woo woo, I can collect a lot of tips at this point, damn it, you deserve your business to fail, people are rich and powerful, naturally amazing, I can't think of it, hum." Yi Chi was arranged in his heart, but he couldn't have a little anger on his face, which was specially trained by their boss.
"What kind of society is this? I think I'm also a good young man, but I'm 28 years old, not to mention that I haven't achieved anything in my career, I don't even have a girlfriend, I am born a rich second generation, money, power, power, everything is prepared for them by my parents, I don't want them to spend even a little time to work hard, God! You are too unfair! Where did I offend you, you don't give me a good life, okay, I will work hard myself, but, isn't it just that woman who looked at me a few more times? These damn guys want me to die, if there is an afterlife, I Yi Chi must control my own destiny, don't do this again, if people say a word, their lives will be lost. The more Yi Chi spoke, the more excited he became, and he almost roared at the back, fortunately, the bar was already noisy, except for a few people nearby who heard Yi Chi's words and looked at him with a surprised face, the others still had to do something.
Hearing this, the bartender also understood, the unlucky guy in front of him was obviously hated by others because the girlfriend of a rich man looked at him a few more times, and now he was blown by the business, and it is estimated that he will come to take his surname.
After looking Yi Chi up and down a few times, the bartender really couldn't see anything about Yi Chi that could attract women.
Maybe the woman just looked at him curiously, this person named Yi Chi, listening to him, is only 28 years old, but how does he look like a 38-year-old, how can people take a fancy to him! This time, the bartender is not angry at Yi Chi for causing him to tip less, after all, his family is a dying person, of course, he has no intention of helping Yi Chi, as the so-called dead friends do not die in poverty, in this society, who goes back to help an irrelevant person, and he is still risking his life.
"Dude, you're drunk, go home. The bartender kindly reminded that he was actually afraid that this guy would have no money to pay the bill.
"I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk. Yi Chi said in a daze, although he said that he was not drunk, he still listened to the bartender's advice, took out the money to settle the bill, and walked out of the bar with a shaky step
On a spring night, there is a slight breeze between the heavens and the earth.
Yi Chi, who had just come out of the bar, was blown by the wind, and half of his drunkenness woke up.
Covering his head, he shook it slowly, slightly getting rid of the drunkenness.
"Hey, the world is so big, is there still a place for me?" Looking at the crowd around him who were still laughing and shopping even at night, Yi Chi suddenly felt that they were very humble, their happiness was so fragile, as long as they hit so lightly, they could be shattered, just like themselves.
"Hehe, I don't know when they will take their surnames, hey, I don't even have any capital to retaliate, hehe, it's really a waste. Yi Chi is no longer worried, he has thought about revenge, but what a luxury thing it is, people go out to be a bunch of fat, what about themselves?
Walking on the street at the beginning of the lanterns, Yi Chi's heart slowly calmed down.
"Come on, come on, walk the road, don't miss the pull, all kinds of small jewelry from a dollar. ”
"Freshly baked sweet potatoes, delicious and cheap. ”
"Sugar gourd, two dollars a string. ”
"The out-of-print T-shirt is on sale. ”
On both sides of the street, where there is a lot of shouting, stop and look at it while walking around.
Yi Chi was attracted by it.
Yi Chi, who was looking around, was attracted by a stall selling antiquities, to be precise, a dagger on it.
The bronze handle, with a little patina, was inlaid with seven gems, the dazzling light was so shining, the silver dagger was overflowing, and a long blood groove showed that it was not used to chop vegetables, it was used to kill.
The owner of the stall saw Yi Chi staring at the dagger, and the smile on his face became thicker and thicker.
"Hey, here's the fat sheep. I thought happily.
"What do you need, sir, take it, I've got cheap things here. The stall owner said with a cheap advertisement.
Yi Chi listened to the boss's words, and he was not polite, so he picked up the dagger and watched it.
"Well, it's very good, this dagger has a great history, anyway, it was more than ten years ago. The stall owner stared at Yi Chi with deep eyes.
"It was a dark night, I went treasure hunting with a few local brothers, outside an old cemetery, we found a very hidden hole, so the brothers decided to go in and see, the dark hole, even now, I still dream, at that time young, ignorant, not afraid of anything, the brothers were brave enough to take a flashlight and enter the cave. Speaking of this, the stall owner secretly looked around, as if he was afraid that others would hear, pulled Yi Chi to the back of the stall, and whispered again.
"There was no light in the cave, only a flashlight, we followed the faint light, about half an hour away, suddenly there was a glimmer of light in front of us, we seemed to be in the deep water to grab a life-saving rope, excitedly ran over, approaching, we found that it was a huge tomb, the light turned out to be the oil lamp in the tomb, according to our observation, the tomb is afraid that it is thousands of years old, the bronze coffin, placed in the middle of the tomb, the walls and the top around are engraved with strange words, in later I know, it is the ancient script, and this dagger, is found in the coffinIn addition to this dagger, there was nothing in the coffin, and a few of us were also scared at that time, that is, I, so I took this dagger, and the other few were timid, and when they saw such a strange thing, they were immediately frightened and scared out, and it was strange to say, no matter how much we looked for it, we couldn't find the hole in the future, and after that, this matter was over. The stall owner said this, and took back the dagger from Yi Chi's hand, staring at him with deep eyes, making Yi Chi's face a little cold.
"Huh. Laughed a few times, easing the atmosphere a little, although Yi Chi didn't believe the boss's words, he was still frightened.
"Look at the gems on it, look at the patina, this is an antique from thousands of years ago!" the boss excitedly introduced.
"Ahem, I said boss, it's not that exaggerated, and ah, was the dagger made of alloy thousands of years ago? Yi Chi hurriedly said, he was really afraid that if this boss continued, it was estimated that he could say that this dagger was an artifact.
"Hehe, buddy turned out to be an expert, then I won't cheat you, I sold you for 1000 at a fixed price. The boss said with a look of relief.
"Hehe, 1000 is expensive, in a word, 200 I will buy it. Yi Chi bargained.
"800, couldn't have been cheaper. ”
"300, no matter how expensive it is, I won't buy it. ”
"600, it can't be any lower. ”
"500, love to sell or not. ”
"Okay, 500 is 500, hey, it's a loss. ”
In the end, at a price of 500, Yi Chi bought this good-looking dagger
After Yi Chi left, the boss hurriedly took out another dagger from the backpack behind him and placed it on the stall.
"Hehe, the purchase price of 100, the sale of 500, the profit of 400, haha, you can go to Miaomei Palace again tonight. The stall owner smiled obscenely.
