How realistic can
rumors be?
When I was a junior, I didn’t know where I had the courage to borrow tens of thousands of yuan. I went to the pyramid selling nest by myself and participated in the “1040 Sunshine Project.”.
The project, which was recommended to me by my childhood friend, said that if I invested 69800 yuan, I could earn 10.4 million yuan in a year. I, on the
other hand, went to get him out. One day in my
junior year, I received a phone call from Wang Xiaoshuai. He asked me how I was doing recently. I thought my grandson was short of money again, but he said, “Brother, I have a big project here. I can earn 10.4 million yuan a year. Are you interested?”?
At that time, my monthly living expenses were less than 1,000 yuan. I was very excited when I heard this: Is it true? Is it reliable.
“” Shit! How many years have we known each other? Can I still hurt you.
You come to inspect it, and the carriage and horses will be taken care of! So tuhao Wang Xiaoshuai, let me some surprise, asked him in a city, just as I have other friends there, you can go by the way to see.
The next day I bought a plane ticket and flew to A city.
I first went to see another game net friend, Viagra. I
met Viagra when I was playing dota. I’ve been a net friend for 5 years, but I haven’t seen him. When I
got off the plane, I sent him a WeChat and asked him where he was. He said on the other end of the phone, “I’m the one with the least hair on your right hand side!” I turned around and saw that in the crowd on the right, there was a bald man holding the phone and smiling at me.
I couldn’t help asking, “There’s a bald guy giggling at me over there, isn’t that you?”?
“That’s your grandfather. Come here quickly!” Netizens see each other for the first time, but they are like old friends.
Viagra took me to a restaurant. After three rounds of drinking, I took the address Wang Xiaoshuai sent me and asked him, “Brother, can you help me to see if this place is far away?”?
“Viagra is an old native. He just took a glance and said,” This place?
It used to take three hours. Birds don’t shit. We usually call it the countryside here.
Why, are you going here?
He asked me.
I nodded my head.
Viagra laughed and said, “There are a lot of pyramid schemes here. You’re not going to engage in pyramid schemes, are you?”. What does
Wan mean.
I said to myself, “Damn, this kid is not trying to cheat me!” Seeing that my face had changed, Viagra also became serious: “Really, I was right?”?
I told Viagra what Wang Xiaoshuai told me. He took a big mouthful of lamb kebabs and said, “brother, your friend looks like a pyramid scheme. The 1040 project has been going on for many years. It only cheats outsiders. Don’t go. Call your friend to persuade him.”.
Viagra is so concerned about me that I am quite touched.
But I have come, not to go is not my style, and how I am also psychological, I really do not believe that someone can brainwash me! I said to Viagra, “Brother, I’m afraid I have to go this time. I grew up playing. I have to go and have a look.”. Seeing that he couldn’t persuade me
, Viagra said, “Go. Send me an address when you get there. If you lose contact, I’ll call the police for you.”.
“” No problem. After
eating and drinking enough, we went to the Internet bar to have a good time.
The next morning, I went to Wang Xiaoshuai’s place by car.
Took the subway, transferred to two buses, and walked for ten minutes, and finally arrived at the destination.
00, people come in and out from time to time.
Wang Xiaoshuai picked me up at the gate of the community. I haven’t seen him for about a year. He has gained weight again.
He saw me at once and waved to me in front of the fountain.
I walked up and said with a smile, “You can do it. Have you gained weight again?”?
“He doesn’t care.” I can’t help it. I live too regularly. This is healthy fat.
“I didn’t have breakfast. I was so hungry.” Hurry up, take me to have a meal first. I’m starving to death.
Wang Hsiao-shuai chuckles: “Come home with me to eat, someone will cook!” I was a little confused: “In less than a year, have you even found a wife?”?
No, no, I don’t have that ability. I’m just a friend who lives together. I
followed Wang Xiaoshuai to the neighborhood. When I passed the fountain, he suddenly asked me, Brother Hai, do you know why this fountain has five holes?
I looked at the fountain reflecting the rainbow in the sunlight and replied without much thought, “How can I know that? The designer designed it!” Ha ha, maybe.
Wang Xiaoshuai echoed me rather mysteriously, and later I learned that there was a hidden mystery in his words.
I followed him left and right and went into a certain building. We got off the elevator on the 6th floor. He took out the key and opened a door at the end.
Walking into the room, it was not too hot in May, and the room was still cool without air conditioning.
The living room was very bright, and there were already a few dishes on the table. I couldn’t help but say, “Wang Xiaoshuai, you can. This place is quite big!” Wang Xiaoshuai did not speak. When he heard our voices, a clear voice came from the kitchen: “Brother Wang, is your friend here?”?
Wang Xiaoshuai answered, and a blue figure, like a cool summer breeze, came out of the kitchen.
The little sister was wearing a Garfield apron, holding a bowl of braised pork in brown sauce, blushing, just looking at me, I felt my heartbeat seemed to miss a beat. I
‘m sorry to have kept you waiting.
The little sister said with a smile.
No, no, we just got back. When
we sat down at the table, Wang Xiaoshuai pointed to his little sister and said, This is Zihan, and this is Fang Hai. I grew up.
I nodded gently to Zihan, and she fluttered her big eyes to say hello to me. It
‘s rare for you to come here for the first time, Brother Fang. I’ll cook another soup. Before
I could say anything, she went back to the kitchen.
I whispered to Wang Xiaoshuai, “Damn it, you’re so lucky..” Yeah, sure.
“Wang Xiaoshuai said softly,” Brother Hai, you think too much. We’re not allowed to fall in love here. Don’t talk nonsense.
“” Huh? What the hell are
you doing with such a weird rule? The two of
us didn’t talk much, but Zihan came out again with a big bowl. The three of us sat around the table, and Wang Xiaoshuai opened a bottle of beer. “Come on, let’s have a drink together!” Don’t mention it, Brother Fang. Try my cooking.
Zihan also said.
My stomach was empty, and when I heard this, I began to eat with a bowl in my hand. The three of
us were eating and chatting. I asked casually, “Zihan, do you work here?”?
Zihan picked up a bean and said, Like Brother Wang, I’m here to take part in the project.
“I couldn’t help asking,” It’s another project. What the hell is this project?
“Wang Xiaoshuai said,” What’s your hurry? I’ll take you to class tomorrow, and you’ll understand everything.
I thought to myself, isn’t it just a pyramid scheme, and how can it be so formal?
In line with the principle of striking the grass without alarming the snake, I said nothing more and finished the meal happily. There was nothing else to do
that day, so we just watched TV in the room. After chatting, I learned that the house was divided by the “organization” and only cost 400 yuan per person per month. Wang Xiaoshuai is currently sharing the house with Zihan.
Just as I came, the rest of the room belonged to me.
Wang Hsiao-shuai said that he managed to get me in touch with the “teacher,” and that he would give me a lesson tomorrow so that I could prepare first. All
I could think about was how I was going to get him out of here. I sent a WeChat to Viagra
in the evening, so he didn’t have to worry about it for a while, and tomorrow was the main event. At 7:30
the next morning, Wang Xiaoshuai knocked on my door. What are you doing
so early in the morning?
I opened the door and asked him.
Eat breakfast. Early to bed and early to rise is good for your health. What’s the matter with
you? I’ve never seen you get up at nine o’clock.
“Brother, this is the fine tradition of the organization, and you have to start adapting!” He said so.
I had no choice but to rub my eyes to wash. After
breakfast, he took me to another building. The elevator went up more than ten floors before it stopped. I followed him into a house. I was
greeted by a little sister, who looked a few years older than me. She wore a light yellow dress, which was quite elegant and intellectual.
I thought to myself, is this the “teacher” who taught me? You’re
not going to use a “honey trap” on me, are you? I’m a hot-blooded young man, and I can’t help sending a few! The little sister led us to the living room, poured tea, and Wang Xiaoshuai sat on the sofa honestly, seemingly respecting her.
I don’t care. I came here to expose the lies of pyramid selling organizations and save Wang Xiaoshuai from fire and water. How can I be tempted by beauty! The little sister sat down and said softly, “Xiaoshuai, did you introduce our organization to your friend before?”?
“Sister Lan,” said Wang Xiaoshuai, “he just came here yesterday. I haven’t had time to say anything yet.
Sister Lan took a sip of tea and looked at me. I also looked up at her. This woman seemed to have a hook in her eyes, and she had a feeling of sinking into it.
You are Xiao Fang, right?
She asked me.
Yes, hello, Sister Lan. Have you ever
heard of the 1040 Sunshine Project?
She continued to ask me.
No. When Secretary Deng visited the south
in 1919, he put forward the slogan.. Sister Lan began to tell me the history of the 1040 Sunshine Project, from reform and opening up to the development of the western region, from common prosperity to a well-off society. In
a trance, I felt as if sitting opposite me was not a little sister, but the secretary and leader of our school.
In addition to the circumstantial evidence, she occasionally asked me what I thought, and although I found some loopholes in her words, I also quietly echoed them.
In short, she told me a lot of history that I couldn’t verify (my history was really bad), and she took out a few books and showed me the information materials related to the 1040 Sunshine Project in the books, trying to justify it to me.
For a long time, she suddenly asked me, “Xiao Fang, what’s your major again?”? Applied Psychology of
XX University.
I answered.
Coincidentally, I’m a law graduate student at X University, and I remember I’m still your senior sister. I guess
that’s a trick, too, I thought to myself.
Sister Lan went on to say, “I took a fancy to this project two years ago, and I thought it was very reliable, so I came here. Xiao Fang, you must not give up this good opportunity.”. When I was a
freshman, I was transferred to a law major. I heard her say that she was also studying law, so I followed her topic and talked about it. I didn’t expect that she really had a legal background.
I asked her tentatively, “Sister Lan, is this thing legal?”?
“Sister Lan said with a smile,” It’s not up to us whether it’s legal or not. It’s up to the country. I just told you so much about whether it’s legal or not. Don’t you know?
I still had some doubts, but Sister Lan seemed to be tired. She said to Wang Xiaoshuai, Xiaoshuai, I’ll do this first. If you have any questions, you can ask me later.
Wang Xiaoshuai answered in a low voice. I added Sister Lan’s WeChat, and Wang Xiaoshuai took me away.
It was the first class, and then we changed to another building, and I was received by a middle-aged uncle.
Uncle is a man of action. On a piece of paper, he directly drew a diagram called the “five-level ternary system,” which was densely covered with all kinds of numbers. He pointed to a 69800 number and told me: “Xiao Fang, look here. Now it’s only 69800 yuan. Next year, if you’rub ‘the ground, it will become 10.4 million yuan!”! This is the magic of the 1040 Sunshine Project! Let me pause for a moment and explain to you what the five-level ternary system is: in the simplest words, if you pull three people, you can get one level. If you pull three people, you can get three people, and you can get one level. There are five levels in total. If you get five levels, you can get 10.4 million.
Hearing this, I immediately took precautions. I asked, “Uncle, isn’t this a pyramid scheme?”?
“” How is that possible! Pyramid selling is a pyramid structure. We have a trapezoidal structure. Can it be the same?
But they are all pulling people’s heads, and the essence is almost the same.
“The uncle didn’t seem angry at all. He danced and said,” There’s a big difference. Let me ask you, did you see the building opposite the community when you came here?
I shook my head to show that I hadn’t noticed.
That’s the XX Bureau (a government agency). Go and see for yourself later. If we are a pyramid scheme, why don’t the police come and arrest us?
I can’t answer that question. Maybe the police don’t have enough evidence.
The uncle added, All pyramid schemes restrict personal freedom, but your cell phone is still there, and your money is still there. If you don’t believe me, you can leave at any time. If we are pyramid schemes, how can you chat with me freely.
Indeed, this is one of the points that puzzles me.
Finally, as you can see from the situation in the community, everyone lives in harmony and goes to bed early and gets up early. This is the meaning of our work together! We help each other and make progress together. A good organization can cultivate excellent talents. We are a big family full of love and a big collective, not a cold organization.
I remembered the scene of Wang Xiaoshuai getting up so early in the morning, and when I heard these words again, my heart was already a little shaken. Uncle seized my last pain point and continued: Besides, we don’t want your money either. Most of it is actually given to the state for’investment, ‘so that wealth can create more wealth. This is what we really want to do! Wang Xiaoshuai, beside me, also added at the right time: “Yes, brother Hai, I tell you that we have a monthly subsidy, and I got 2000 yuan last month!” The uncle talked for a long time, but his mouth was already dry. He asked me, “Well, Xiao Fang, do you have any other questions?”? The
uncle asked me three times in a row, which made me feel silly. At that time, I didn’t know where I had a flash of inspiration. I asked the uncle: In that case, there should be a lot of people earning 10.4 million, right?
The uncle waved his hand and said, “That’s a lot. Last year there should have been tens of millions of people who left the General Administration. Think about the scale. There are our people everywhere in the country. Common prosperity is..” Uncle is still there to say, but I silently calculated in my heart, tens of millions of people, each with 10.4 million, the minimum is 100 trillion.
But to get 10.4 million, each person needs to pull about 300 people and invest 69800 yuan each. If
one person succeeds, he needs 300 cushions. If tens of millions of people get 10.4 million every year, he needs at least 3 billion people! Uncle said that this organization has existed for decades, and according to such data, everyone in China should be rich. When I
thought about it, I looked at every number my uncle wrote on the paper and suddenly felt terrible.
He said so much, after all, did not bypass a point: this matter does not create value, the essence is to beat drums and pass flowers, the first to lie on the corpse of the latter to enjoy its success! No matter what the answer to the uncle’s question is, the essence of the matter is just a money game! One will succeed, even if earned 10.4 million, that money, also stained with blood and tears! I suddenly became transparent! Wang Xiaoshuai saw that I was not acting positively and quickly said, “Well, brother, let’s do it together.”?
I looked into his eyes and for a moment I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
I nodded gently, and he thought I had said yes. “I knew you were reliable,” he said with a happy smile. I went out with Wang Xiaoshuai in a trance and finally got me. He was very happy.
We walked slowly to the gate of the community, and a large number of people came in from outside the community. Most of them looked dignified and hurried, mainly middle-aged people aged 30 to 40, both men and women.
Wang Xiaoshuai patted me on the shoulder and said, “Look, brother, these people are all here to do the project. So many people believe in the 1040 Sunshine Project. Are they all fools?”?
I didn’t answer. I just felt sad. Is it right for everyone to do it?
Standing in front of the fountain in the community, Wang Xiaoshuai began to tell me directly for the first time: the platform with rich layers under the fountain has three layers, representing the 3 in the 5-level ternary system; the XX Bureau opposite represents the support of the state; In the development zone where we are located, there are so many people in the community, which not only promotes the development of the local economy, but also embodies the secret “investment” of the state.
He said a lot, but I don’t know where my heart drifted. In order to round a lie and satisfy their own self-interest,
people do not hesitate to fabricate many lies to cover up, but there are still so many people believe it.
The world is too magical, too sad, in the rush of people, I felt my weakness and powerlessness for the first time.
I asked Wang Xiaoshuai, “What if there are always people who can’t get a downline and lose a lot of money in vain?”?
Wang Hsiao-shuai said, “No, our organization is a family that helps and loves each other. Only when we have settled our subordinates can we go up!” What if this really happens?
I am still unrelenting.
He lowered his head and thought, “Then there’s nothing we can do. They don’t have enough ability. The organization has already given them a lot of help.”.
Besides, with the ability of the two of us, if we can get a little more money, we’ll be able to quit the General Administration next year, and we won’t encounter such a thing! Originally, I have always thought that the wooden and kind Wang Xiaoshuai, he has a deep insight into the nature of this matter, he is not only not stupid, but also think very clearly.
Ten thousand, others are looking at the 69800 in his pocket. When
we got home, Zihan had already made lunch for us. She was not at home. Wang Xiaoshuai said she was probably visiting a client.
She and Wang Xiaoshuai came at the same time, less than a month, Zihan has two clients, and one more, she can be promoted.
After dinner, I slept for a while and woke up at about 3 o’clock.
Walking out of the room, I found that both of them had gone. Wang Xiaoshuai left a note on the table for me to walk around by myself. He also went to visit customers.
I washed my face in the bathroom, looked at the mirror, and felt very tired. A lot of specious knowledge went crazy in my mind, making it difficult for me to judge what was true and what was false. I received a WeChat
on my mobile phone from a netizen named “Orchid in the Hollow Valley”, which is the WeChat of Sister Lan.
Sister Lan: Xiao Fang, I want to talk to you about some details of the project.
“Me:” What details, WeChat can not say it?
“Sister Lan:” It’s not clear in the WeChat. Just come. I’m already downstairs.
“Me:” All right.
I was a little worried. I felt that I might not be able to deal with Sister Lan. That woman was really too sophisticated.
But people are already downstairs, do not go too lost, I hurried downstairs, Lan Jie has changed into a black dress, from the thigh opened a cut, the temptation of the thigh looming.
I walked over slowly and asked, “What’s the matter, Sister Lan?”?
Sister Lan put on a pair of sunglasses and walked forward. We talked as we walked.
I thought about it, and I had nothing to be afraid of. After
walking for a while, I estimated that I was almost at Sister Lan’s building. She suddenly asked me, “Xiao Fang, have you bought a car?”?
“I shook my head.” Sister Lan, I’m only a junior. How can I afford a car.
Can you drive?
I just learned it, and I got a driver’s license.
Sister Lan stood next to a blue BMW downstairs and suddenly said, “Why don’t I give you a car?”?
I felt a little dizzy and didn’t react for a moment: Give me a car?
Sister Lan, did I hear you right? Of course, there are so many cars here, and they are all mine.
Lan pointed to a row of lanes in the opposite parking space. If you like it, you can pick one.
I looked at the row of colorful cars, looking out, Mercedes S, BMW 5 series, and I even saw a Porsche. Where on earth did
this woman come from? I was stunned for a moment.
No, no, your car is too expensive. I don’t deserve it.
Sister Lan didn’t say anything more. She just walked into the building. I followed her. This time we didn’t go to the previous room, but stopped on the 10th floor.
I have seen nothing strange, it seems that she has a lot of houses. The
room was similarly furnished, but this time it was just me and her. Instead of being polite to her,
I asked her directly, “Sister Lan, what’s the matter with you?”?
Sister Lan sat on the white sofa and lit a cigarette, which was very different from the first time I saw her. She threw the lighter back on the tea table and made a “patter” sound.
Xiao Fang, I know you don’t believe in the 1040 Sunshine Project at all.
The words stirred up waves in my heart, and I tried to control myself and kept silent.
She highlighted a smoke ring and said slowly, “Actually, I don’t believe it either.”. When she
said this, she kept looking into my eyes, which made me feel a little guilty. I also asked, “Sister Lan, since you don’t believe it either, why do you …” Still here?
Lan Jie did not speak. She threw the cigarette into the glass, and then gently opened the tea table. The tea table could be separated from both sides. In the middle was a huge storage space, which was filled with stacks of RMB.
Because of this.
She said lightly, as if none of the money was hers.
But it’s true that the money, after all, is not hers. For
the first time, I saw so much money, not in a movie, but in real life. The money still belonged to a woman who was not a few years older than me. At that moment, my three outlooks were strongly impacted. Looking back now, I still unconsciously exclaimed “lying trough.”. Sister
Lan, what do you mean?
I asked her. You
‘re a smart guy and a student of psychology. You have a bright future in the organization. I don’t need to say more.
At that time, I was a junior, and I was in my prime of life, and I looked just so-so. I thought in my heart that it must be my appearance and knowledge that made the other person sit up and take notice. Sister
Lan, I’m not short of money.
“” Oh?
“She smiled.” You can hold on to so much money in front of you. I look down on you.
In fact, I had no idea about money at that time. In addition to going to school, I played games. Although life was a little tight, I seemed to have been used to that kind of life for a long time. I really had no desire for money. No
, you want something else?
Sister Lan closed the tea table, put her hands on it, and leaned forward toward me.
I swear, I just took one look at it, but that one look, you can’t leave it anymore.
I felt my mouth was a little dry, and my tongue was already a little knotted: “Sister Lan, I really …” Not much interest.
It’s all right. You can think about it again. There’s no hurry.
Sister Lan sat back on the sofa and lit a new cigarette.
As long as you join the club, I will support half of your share.
Here I would like to explain again that the membership fee of 69800 yuan is 20 shares, each share is 3490, and one share can also join the association. If I give a 34900, sister Lan will help me give a 34900. This is to give one to make up one. The more money I pay, the higher my level will become, the more money I get, and the more authority I have.
Blue sister’s suggestion is really very attractive, but I was a pauper at that time, to stay can only borrow money from Viagra, I am worried that I will become like Wang Xiaoshuai, and finally in cahoots with them.
Sister Lan wanted to say something more, but I felt I couldn’t stay any longer.
I didn’t promise her directly. I responded a few words at random, saying that I would go back and think about it and reply to her later.
Then he made an excuse and hurried out of the door.
I went out of the door, and what Sister Lan said to me echoed in my mind, a car, so much money, and. Lots and lots.
I strolled in the neighborhood for a long time, and it was almost dark before I calmed down.
Back to the residence, Wang Xiaoshuai has not come back, Zihan is at home, she bought some vegetables, in the living room to choose vegetables. As
I helped Zihan choose the dishes, I chatted with her. The first time I
saw Zihan, I felt that she was the kind of kind-hearted, shy and simple person, so I was very curious about why she came here.
Zihan, why did you come to do … This, the project?
I asked her.
Make money. What else can you do.
Are you short of money?
“She stopped what she was doing and whispered,” It’s very, very short.
I kept silent. Didn’t
your family come with you?
I see here, it’s basically a family together.
“” No.
I came without telling them.
“” Oh oh.
I chimed in, feeling that the atmosphere was a little low.
Zihan suddenly raised her head and said with a smile, “Brother Fang, don’t always ask me. Have you decided to stay?”?
Looking at her hot eyes, I flinched. Not yet, I haven’t decided yet.
Why, doesn’t Brother Fang believe in this project?
“” Well … That’s not true.
“” That … Brother Fang is not short of money.
“” Sort of.
I made a ha-ha.
That’s nice. I really envy you. I want to make more money and send it to my parents.
Zihan said softly, and we finished choosing a pot of beans. As
she said this, she lowered her head unconsciously.
I sighed silently and said to myself that I was actually a poor man.
I’m going to cook. Brother Fang, you can watch TV for a while.
She walked to the kitchen with the dish, and I thought I saw tears glistening in her eyes.
Not long after, Wang Xiaoshuai also came back, we helped to cook dinner, but also bought a bottle of beer, three people to drink.
Summer evening breeze through the hall, I can not help but begin to think, in the end what kind of magic, can let me in front of these two people, devoted to this? After dinner
, Wang Xiaoshuai watched TV, Zihan washed dishes in the kitchen, I said hello, decided to go downstairs for a walk, blow, let oneself calm down. The
community is very quiet at night, there are no square dancing aunts, and there are few people in and out. At that time, I didn’t feel special. Later, I learned that because of the relevant rules and regulations of the organization, the evening is the time for self-study, and everyone stays in the house.
I sent a WeChat to Viagra, briefly explained the situation, and asked him what he thought.
Viagra: “***, are you really in a pyramid scheme?”?
“Me:” No, one foot at most.
“Viagra:” It’s a joke at this time. They didn’t do anything to you.
“Me:” I’m still sending you WeChat. It’s safe. I have food, drink and sleep.
Viagra: Are you sure?
“Me:” Not really.
Viagra: Which neighborhood are you in again?
Me: 612, Building 5, XXX Community. Is it detailed enough.
Viagra: Well, I’ll call the police as soon as you lose contact. Don’t panic.
“Me:” Where did you see me panic? I’ll calm down.
“Viagra:” That’s good, that’s good, then I’m going to play games.
“Me:” Damn, you are too easy to believe me. Let me ask you something.
Viagra: What’s the matter? Tell me.
“Me:” If I ask you to borrow money, will you borrow it?
“Viagra:” To tell you the truth, if you ask me to borrow money, then I will certainly borrow, after all, I believe in your intelligence.
However, I can only borrow once, to prevent the overdraft of trust, you must be careful to use this opportunity.
“Me:” Cut, I know, I know, you go.
Viagra: So I’m really leaving?
Me: “Get out of here!” After talking to Viagra, I felt much better and felt the support and strength of my friends. I finally decided to stay.
Not only to take Wang Xiaoshuai away, but also to rescue Zihan.
I took the elevator upstairs. We lived at the end of the 6th floor, next to the stairway. When I got there, I heard a familiar voice making a phone call in the corridor. It was Zihan’s voice.
I had no intention of exploring other people’s privacy, but I still heard Zihan say something like “When I make money, I will come back.” Before I could push the door into the room, Zihan hung up the phone and opened the stairwell door.
I turned to look at her, the atmosphere was slightly awkward, her eyes were slightly red, as if she had cried. Embarrassed,
I said, “I’m sorry. I just got back. I didn’t hear anything.”.
Zihan smiled reluctantly and said it was all right.
We pushed the door and entered. Zihan followed me silently. Wang Xiaoshuai had disappeared from the living room. It was estimated that he had gone to bed. I also went to my room.
Suddenly, Zihan called me softly, “Brother Fang, wait a minute.”.
“I looked back and asked,” What’s wrong?
Brother Fang, if you want to join the organization, can you … Can you.. Be my client, not someone else’s?
Looking at her eyes, my heart suddenly softened. I smiled and said, “No problem. I’ve been inspecting all day today. This project is very good. Tomorrow I’ll join the club and put it in your name!” “Thank you, Brother Fang!” Zihan laughed, and when she laughed, she had a pair of deep dimples, which were particularly charming.
Then I’ll go to bed.
I said.
Mmm! Good night, brother Fang.
I went back to my room, opened the WeChat, and sent this message to Sister Lan: Sister Lan, I have thought it over. I will follow you in the future. I will invest 10 shares first, and you will invest 10 shares for me.
Without waiting for Lan’s reply, I sent another WeChat to Viagra: “Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Lend me some money, preferably 40000.”.
I don’t know if the money will go down the drain, but my intention to continue “undercover” is becoming clearer and clearer. After
sending these two messages, I felt so tired that I fell into bed and slept until dawn. Early
the next morning, Wang Xiaoshuai came to my room and woke me up.
I turned on my cell phone and saw that Sister Lan and Viagra had given me a WeChat back.
Sister Lan replied, “Yes, I am optimistic about you.”.
Viagra back is: has been transferred.
I looked at the balance in my bank card and thanked Viagra silently in my heart.
Although I have known him for more than 5 years on the Internet, I really didn’t know he was so generous (later I learned that his family was rich)! While washing, I said to Wang Xiaoshuai, “Xiaoshuai, I have decided to join the club.”.
“He seemed a little surprised.” Brother Hai, are you serious?
You figured it out?
“I nodded.” Of course! Keep one’s word.
“That’s great. I’ll ask later when the initiation ceremony will be held, and then I’ll bring you into the club!” What?
Your initiation, and the ceremony?
Wang Hsiao-shuai says, “Of course, we have to do a good job with the sense of ceremony. How can we say that this is a big project supported by the state!” What you say is what you say, but I’m going to say it first. My share of membership has been given to Zihan. If you
give it, just give it. You don’t have much money for one share. We’ll merge the two swords. Don’t worry.
“I wiped my face clean and said lightly,” That’s really not one portion. I bought 20 portions.
Wang Xiaoshuai spurted out a mouthful of mouthwash and looked at me incredulously: How many portions?
I repeated, “20 servings!” Are you robbing a bank, boy?
I ignored him and let him scream in the bathroom. After
I decided to stay, my mood relaxed a lot, and Wang Xiaoshuai was happy like a child.
But I didn’t see Zihan when I got up early in the morning. I asked Wang Xiaoshuai, Where did Zihan go?
“I don’t know where she’s gone,” he said as he buried himself in his meal. “She’s been like this all the time. I guess she’s going to visit a client again. Visiting a customer
so early?
Is it a little too hard.
Wang Xiaoshuai looked at me with a bad smile on his face. “Brother Hai, you don’t have a crush on her, do you?”.
Damn, how is that possible? I’m that kind of person.
“Yeah, you’re not that kind of person!” After we finished our breakfast, Wang Xiaoshuai said to me, “Brother Hai, you go back first. I’ll tell my eldest brother above me and ask him to arrange for you to join the club.”.
I didn’t say much and went back to my residence.
About an hour later, Wang Xiaoshuai came back.
Done?
I asked him.
“Well, it’s done. On Saturday afternoon, there will be a general meeting, which will be held together with the new members. Brother Hai, you can go with me then.”.
“” No problem! So what do we do now?
Why don’t you come with me to visit the client, Brother Hai?
“I said with a wry smile,” Brother, can’t you let me enjoy two more days of free life? Have you started training me?
Haha ~ I was wrong, I was wrong, but it’s true, brother Hai, I tell you, if you hadn’t come, I really wouldn’t have had so much time to rest. Our time is arranged clearly, and life is rich.
This aroused my interest, and I asked him, “Tell me, how do you arrange your time?”?
Wang Xiaoshuai talked to me about his schedule: get up at 6:30 in the morning, have breakfast before 7:30, meet at 8:00 in the morning.. It seems to be more detailed than my high school schedule. As
we watched TV, we chatted one by one, and soon at noon, Zihan still didn’t come back.
I asked Wang Xiaoshuai, “Will anything happen to Zihan?”? “No,” said
Wang Xiaoshuai. “Sometimes she doesn’t go home for a whole day. It’s common for us to visit clients and go to the city. You don’t have to worry.
So we had no choice but to go out to dinner, and it was Wang Xiaoshuai’s treat again.
I couldn’t help wondering, “Xiaoshuai, I’ve been eating you for several days. I won’t eat you out.”.
“Brother Hai, let me tell you secretly,” Wang Xiaoshuai said in a low voice close to me. “If I invite you to dinner, I will be reimbursed.
“” What? Can
you still reimburse the food expenses?
I’m a little surprised.
No, you can only be reimbursed if you are invited to dinner.
“” Please me?
Why? What’s so special about me?
Wang Xiaoshuai looked at me with a face that pretended to be deep. It
suddenly dawned on me, “What are you doing, pulling people to subsidize?”?
That’s right, Brother Hai. With such a big customer as
you, of course, I have to give some subsidies.
“” How much?
You share with me. I
don’t have much money, but I guess it’s just enough for us to sing a song or play a string or something.
Yes, we can go as soon as we say, and we’ll go to sing after dinner.
If it’s not Brother Hai, you should at least leave some for me. Why
stay? Didn’t you say that the combination of two swords is invincible in the world? It’s all small money. We’ll go later.
So, after eating and drinking, Wang Xiaoshuai was dragged to KTV by me.
He looked for a larger one nearby, the kind of 24-hour business, called the Golden Sun KTV, KTV entrance two Panlong Jinzhu, looks earthy, glittering.
It was really my first time to go to such a luxurious KT. The Golden Sun KTV was really big. The waiter took us to shuttle inside. I felt that I had forgotten the direction.
We were singing and drinking in the box. Wang Xiaoshuai said that the wine was sent and let me drink hard. We drank about five or six bottles of Qingdao. I felt dizzy and couldn’t help going to the bathroom to drain the water.
Following the mark on the wall, I finally found the bathroom, but I drank so much that I forgot the number of my box. Walking back
by memory, as I walked, I seemed to hear the sound of someone arguing.
Walking through a street corner, a middle-aged man with a big belly was pressing a little sister against the wall. The little sister struggled hard, but she couldn’t break free.
In line with the principle that one more thing is better than one less thing, I turned around and wanted to leave.
I never thought that the middle-aged man would slap the little sister in the face.
MLGB, you bitch, you are shameless. All of a sudden,
I heard my little sister sobbing. I was so drunk that I felt dizzy. I couldn’t see their faces clearly in the dim light. I had never experienced such a thing before, and I didn’t know if I should help.
The pregnant man seemed to be untying his belt, and the little sister whispered, “No,” followed by another “snap,” accompanied by, “Still want to run?
Why don’t you run again? The
words of.
The slap seemed to hit me on the tip of my heart. I turned around. The man with a big belly turned his back to me. His whole body was pressed on his little sister. His pants had been taken off by him.
I had a little too much to drink, so I stepped up and kicked him hard from the side.
“Ah!” The man let out a roar of pain and took advantage of his illness to kill him. I quickly repaired a few feet, took my little sister by the hand, and said to her, “Come with me!” I pulled her to run in the corridor, one bend, another bend, and as I ran, I found that I seemed to be lost.
Go left. Whispered the
little sister.
I continued to pull her and ran to the left, “right”, “left”, “right”. Under her guidance, we soon came to a door.
This is the back door. Few people know about it. It’s safer to go out here.
The little sister whispered.
thank you. Then
I turned around and took a good look at her. The little sister kept her head down, as if she felt my eyes and raised her head.
That face, pear flowers with rain, but very cute, and I am very familiar with.
Zihan?
I exclaimed?
！ She seemed surprised, too. Brother Fang, why are you? What are
you doing here?
I asked her.
“I..” Zihan lowered his head and kept silent.
I knew she probably had something to say, but I sighed. Come back with me
first.
I said.
She gave a low “hum”.
I took out my cell phone and wanted to call an express, but my broken cell phone suddenly went black.
I’ll call a taxi.
Zihan saw that my cell phone seemed to be broken and took the initiative.
then you come.
“Zihan called for a ride and asked me,” Brother Fang, did you come alone? Then
I remembered! I left Wang Xiaoshuai behind! And you, Brother Wang, give him a call and tell him to leave quickly.
But our car is almost here.
It’s all right. Let’s go back first. As expected
, the express train appeared at the door. Zihan and I sat in the back seat. She called Wang Xiaoshuai. I told Wang Xiaoshuai on the phone to leave as soon as possible.
The car was speeding all the way, but we were relatively silent.
I can probably understand the reason why Zihan is here, but I still can’t accept it. In such a silent atmosphere,
we took a bus from KTV to the community. On a
summer night, the neighborhood was unusually quiet, and the wind was still a little cool. Holding her arms in both hands, Zihan suddenly said, “Thank you, Brother Fang.”.
I just said “hmm.”.
Somehow, I suddenly felt sorry for her. In the
next few days, I either watched TV at home or went out for a stroll. Zihan and Wang Xiaoshuai, like hard-working bees, got up on time every day, did morning classes, visited customers and studied theory. I was stunned to see it.
On Friday night, Lan Jie also transferred the money to my bank card. Wang Xiaoshuai accompanied me to the ATM to withdraw the money.
Looking at him like that, I knew that Sister Lan must have asked him to watch me so that I wouldn’t have a chance to run away.
But I didn’t want to run at all. He can do whatever he wants.
Wang Xiaoshuai said that cash should be used at the conference and let me remember to take it with me tomorrow. I remember
this sentence clearly, because that night I slept with that pile of money on my pillow! Soon, Saturday finally arrived. The time of the
conference was set at ten o’clock on Saturday morning. I was taken by Wang Xiaoshuai to walk around the community. I walked from the ground to the underground garage. Finally, I entered a small door. Inside the door was a freight elevator. There were many people standing in front of the freight elevator. Many people were carrying a bag like us. It was estimated that it was full of RMB.
Everyone was silent, expressionless, and looked very serious.
I leaned close to Zihan’s ear and asked her secretly, “Why doesn’t everyone speak?”? With a red face
, Zihan whispered back to me, The meeting is like this. It
was so boring that I complained silently in my heart.
After waiting for a few minutes, the freight elevator finally arrived, and everyone filed in, crowding the freight elevator.
I watched the freight elevator go all the way up to the 18th floor, the highest floor in the neighborhood. The three of
us moved forward with the main force, and I kept my mouth shut. After walking for
about half a minute, the queue in front of me slowed down. From my point of view, everyone lined up and went into the small room one by one.
So many people.
I couldn’t help but murmur.
“No, there are more people inside!” Wang Xiaoshuai echoed it just right.
Finally, we were in line, and I saw clearly that everyone had to be searched and take out their mobile phones and so on.
My idea of shooting with my mobile phone was killed. Fortunately, I secretly bought a recording pen and hid it in my shoe the day before yesterday.
I’m not sure if the recording can be used as evidence, but it’s better than nothing.
The mobile phone was taken out, the bag was checked, and we finally entered the room where the conference was held.
The room is so huge that I estimated it to be at least 4 or 500 square meters. There was a huge pillar in the middle of the house
at a distance. At that time, I didn’t understand why there was such a large house in the community, but I was amazed.
Later, I probably knew that these people probably bought all these houses, and then opened them, but the load-bearing walls could not be removed, and the beautiful pillars were all load-bearing walls.
The huge living room was filled with chairs, and on the rostrum in the front, there were more than a dozen big chairs, with a long banner hanging: Celebrating the ceremony of the new members of the 1040 Sunshine Project in XX District.
Is the battle so big?
！」 I’m a little surprised.
Now believe that we are supported by the state.
Wang Xiaoshuai smiled.
Brother Fang, let’s sit over there.
Zihan pointed to an inconspicuous place in the corner and said to me.
Okay, we’ll sit there.
Why don’t you sit in the middle? If some boss takes a fancy to you, you’ll be rich.
Wang Xiaoshuai complained.
“Don’t dream,” I patted him on the shoulder. “Come on, sit down quickly. I’m tired of carrying this bag. The three of
us sat down on the chairs, and more and more people came to the meeting. I estimated that at least 500 people came. In the
house is putting the audio frequency that does not know where to come, repeating ceaselessly “1040 project is national great strategy, it is macroscopical adjusting control, it is Our goal is to eliminate poverty and build a well-off society in an all-round way. Something like that, which made me sleepy.
Why haven’t you started yet?
I asked Wang Xiaoshuai.
Don’t worry, don’t worry. Those bosses are late. After waiting
in the hall for half an hour, I secretly put the recording pen in my pocket and turned on the recording button. I don’t know when a little sister in a black miniskirt stood on the
stage. She said a few words to the microphone, and the whole hall was quiet.
The situation was even more unified than during our military training.
Then I saw several middle-aged people sitting up from the first row of seats and walking onto the stage one by one, including Lan Jie and the uncle.
The host introduced the identities of the people above one by one, and then handed the microphone to a middle-aged man sitting in the middle.
We were sitting so far away that we couldn’t really see him. We could only hear his voice: “Dear family and friends, today is a good day. We have welcomed a new group of family members of President Shang, as well as many new friends. Here..” This is the part of Mandarin that I hate most.
It’s too wordy.
I can’t help but complain.
Brother Fang, you don’t understand. The boss always talks like this, and you have to say the same thing when you go up. What is the
next process?
I asked him.
The next step should be to announce the general list.
“” On the general list?
That is, those who have got enough shares and are already out of the game.
Zihan added from the side.
“Oh,” the middle-aged man talked nonsense for about ten minutes, and finally got to the point: “Next, let’s welcome our new family members to the stage. As soon as the
middle-aged man’s voice fell, the audience burst into thunderous applause, which made my ears ache.
Then, in the second bowel movement, a man, dressed in neat clothes, walked up to the stage.
He walked up to the middle-aged man and bowed to him. Holding his hand, the middle-aged man faced us and said, “Congratulations!”! Thank you for your contribution to the country and the people! Then all the people in the audience said, “Congratulations!”! Congratulations to General Manager Shang! Congratulations to General Manager Shang! Wang Xiaoshuai next to me also roared with the crowd. Their expressions were full of fanaticism and craziness, which made me a little nervous.
I pulled Zihan, but fortunately she was normal.
What’s the matter, Brother Fang?
Zihan asked me. Is this always the case at
every meeting?
I asked. “Yes,”
said Zihan with a complicated expression. Why do
these people look like psychopaths?
“” This.. In the organization, everyone is like this, and this is unity. Okay, okay, I get it.
I quickly interrupted her.
I looked at these people in the sound of “congratulations,” and thought to myself: Sure enough, once people go crazy, they can’t see anything.
Finally, all the people who were on the stage were on the stage, and several representatives finished speaking.
The next process is the second key process today: new members join the club.
Wang Xiaoshuai’s face was filled with excitement, and Zihan beside him was also a little excited.
“Brother Fang, it’s your turn to go on stage soon!” I’m not in the mood. The hostess, who was wearing very little
on stage, took out a large cardboard box with the words “Welfare Fund” written on the outside of the red cardboard box.
Next is the second part of today. Please welcome the following new people to the stage one after another to donate to the welfare fund.
Please come to the stage according to the order I reported. Don’t crowd.
“Number one, Zhang Xiaoyun, 20 welfare funds!” When the host spoke, there was another round of applause from the audience. I saw an elder sister walking onto the stage with a black bag. She took out a stack of RMB from her bag and put it into the cardboard box.
The host then said, “Dear family members, let’s give this sister a little encouragement and support!” “Good!” The audience chimed in, and the host began to clap rhythmically: “Pa”, “Pa”, “Pa”.. With the sound of applause, the elder sister put the money into the box one after another.
The host said, “Congratulations to Ms. Zhang Xiaoyun for successfully donating 20 welfare funds!” A burst of warm applause broke out from the audience! Then, the second person came on stage. The crazy crowd under the stage shouted uniform slogans, as if I could see a devil in control of their souls.
An inexplicable sadness came to my mind. I gently pulled Zihan and asked her, “Zihan, do you think these people are very pitiful?”?
“Zihan looked at me with a gloomy expression:” Brother Fang, I am also one of these people … A member.
Wang Xiaoshuai then interrupted and said, What are you two doing?
Brother Hai, it’s your turn to play soon! Don’t embarrass us later! I turned my head and said with a smile, ***! How can I lose face? I’m sure I’ll be the most beautiful boy in the audience later! Just as we were talking, the door in front of us was suddenly kicked open. The voice of the hostess who was impassioned was interrupted in an instant, and the whole hall was plunged into a noise. The
leader rushed to the host’s side, picked up the microphone and said, “Don’t move!”! We are the police! Then a large number of plainclothes policemen came in, and the room was silent.
Wang Xiaoshuai murmured in a low voice, “It’s over, it’s all over.”.
Zihan sat on the chair, also somewhat absent-minded.
I held her hand and said to her, “It’s all right, don’t be afraid.”.
」………… In the crowd that came in, I actually saw a familiar person. It was Viagra. He was wearing a pair of sunglasses, which was very eye-catching. I waved to him. He said hello to the people next to him and came to me.
***, I found you.
Viagra said so. Why are
you here?
I asked him.
Don’t mention it. I’ll talk to you later. Let’s go out first.
Said Viagra. What are
you.. Does it matter?
I asked him.
Sort of. Can these
two friends of mine go out together?
Viagra looked at Zihan and Wang Xiaoshuai and said, Women can do it, but men can’t.
As soon as I saw it, I knew that the boy didn’t have any good ideas.
Viagra, make an exception. This is my childhood friend. Wang Xiaoshuai, who
had been in a trance, kept silent, as if he could not hear us at all. All right
, you follow me.
I didn’t expect Viagra to come and take us out.
We stood up from the motionless crowd and went to the door. The policeman, who was the
first to rush in, stood at the door, and Viagra said to him, “Uncle Chang, these three are my friends.”.
“Well,” said Uncle Chang, “I’ll go to the station later to take a statement.
All right, thank you, Uncle Chang.
Viagra wanted to take us away. Then I thought of the recording pen on my body. I gave the recording pen to Uncle Zhang: Uncle, this is what I recorded before.
Uncle Chang raised his eyebrows and looked at the recorder. He seemed a little surprised. He patted me on the shoulder and said, “Well done, boy!” I smiled and walked out the door with Viagra. Everyone was silent
all the way, and no one spoke.
Out of the door, I looked around, only to find that the building was next door to our residence.
You two go home first, and I’ll tell Viagra something.
I said to Wang Xiaoshuai and Zihan.
Both of them seem to have lost their souls, and they have hardly said a word since the police came in.
When they heard me say this, they went home.
I asked Viagra, “Why are you here with the police?”?
“Viagra said,” What do you think? If I don’t come again, aren’t you really in a pyramid scheme?
“” Huo ~ meaning, did you call all these police uncles?
“” That’s not … It’s just a joke. No, it’s a coincidence.
“” Coincidentally?
Uncle Chang and the others have been staring at this pyramid scheme den for a long time. This time they just organized a meeting and captured the stolen goods. I told him the other day that you were also here, and he said it was a coincidence that he could bring you out by the way.
I see, Viagra, you have a lot of connections.
“” Cough.. For family reasons, it’s not convenient to say more, you know.
I see. I really want to thank you this time.
“” ***! Why are you so polite to me? I’m glad you’re all right.
“” Thank you, though.
I said with great sincerity.
It’s so disgusting. Are you going to drink at night?
“I thought about it.” I don’t think so. I have to see my friend first. I’ll make an appointment tomorrow night.
“Viagra looked clear:” OK, you go, after all, the goddess is more important.
“” Harm ~ what and what.
I made an appointment with Viagra and went back.
Unexpectedly, Wang Xiaoshuai shut himself in the room and ignored me.
Zihan opened the door and saw me. As soon as I opened the door, I saw her face full of tears.
Brother Hai, what we’re doing isn’t against the law, is it?
Zihan looked at me with tears in her eyes.
I didn’t answer her directly. I just whispered “hmm.”.
Come on, let’s eat.
I said to her.
I didn’t dare to say anything about “pyramid scheme” or “organization.” I just took her to the restaurant outside the neighborhood.
I tried to say something, but I couldn’t say anything. When the
meal was almost over, Zihan raised her head and suddenly said, “Brother Hai, I have never cheated anyone.”.
“I looked at her, both distressed and helpless:” Well, I know. “
I just want to make more money..” Zihan said so, tears falling down.
I had to keep handing her tissues, and I couldn’t say anything comforting. After
a long time, I said, “Let’s not talk about those unhappy things. Let’s go out to relax in the afternoon.”.
That afternoon, we found a nearby park and played all afternoon. In the
evening, when we returned to our residence, Wang Xiaoshuai still stayed in the house and refused to see me.
I took out the money in my bag and asked Viagra. Viagra said that the money did not need to be handed in.
I returned his money to her, but the share that sister Lan gave me was still in my place.
I weighed the bag and knocked on Zihan’s door.
Zihan, dressed in pink pajamas, opened the door. “What’s the matter, Brother Fang? What’s the matter?”?
“I put the bag on her desk and said,” This is for you.
Zihan opened the bag, took a look, and quickly pulled it up again. “No, Brother Fang, I can’t take this.”.
“It’s all right. It’s all small money. Don’t you all know that your brother Fang is a rich man? Take it!” I really can’t.
Zihan still wants to refuse.
Zihan, I know you’re short of money, so just think of it as something I lent you, and then you can pay me back when you have money. As soon as
I said this, Zihan seemed to have some conation. Then
I said, “Take the money and give it to your parents. It’s good to say that you earned it yourself.”.
“Zihan finally stopped struggling and said softly,” Thank you. Thank you, brother Fang.
“I said lightly,” It’s all right. Take the money and go home. This is not the place for you.
Then I turned around and tried to leave.
A warm touch came from my back. Zihan put her arms around my chest. She seemed to have mustered up her courage and said softly behind me, “Brother Fang, don’t go tonight, will you?”?
The voice sounded like an inquiry, like an invitation, and I felt something explode in my head. I
didn’t know what to say. I just stood there and took a deep breath.
Come on, Zihan, you don’t have to do that.
I gently picked up her hand, and the touch reminded me of when I was in KTV, I pulled her to run all the way.
I went out of the door and closed it gently, not daring to look back at her.
The next day, when I went to find Wang Xiaoshuai again, he had already left, and the room was already empty.
Zihan left me a phone number, and the building was empty.
Several years later, when I saw Wang Xiaoshuai again, he had become an excellent real estate agent. I heard him say that his income was very good and he had money to buy a house.
As for the experience related to pyramid selling, we all tacitly never mentioned it.
I haven’t seen Zihan again, but I always remember that phone call, but I haven’t made it.
I don’t know what to say. I don’t know how to say it.
Only occasionally when I think of it, there will be some dull pain in my heart.
Viagra has been in touch with me a lot, and every time I see him, I am very happy.
By the way, after the pyramid selling gang was seized, several leaders went in.
I also received an official “Good Samaritan” certificate. After the development of the
development zone, many people have moved into the community one after another, all of them are serious ordinary people.
Everything has changed for the better. Sometimes when I think of that experience, I always feel like a dream of Nanke, which is very unreal.
That afternoon, Zihan and I went to see a movie. While watching the movie, I asked her what she wanted to see. She looked at the movie schedule and said, “Let’s watch this one.”.
I looked at the movie poster, and it said: “Jianghu Children”. Children
of Jianghu, see you in Jianghu.
. Focus on not getting lost ~
