Chapter 322: MLM Den (Pyramid Scheme).
Proofreader: @lynn
Early in the morning, when the curtain was pulled open, fresh air brushed against his face, and a few small birds were chirping in the trees outside the window.
“Dad, dad …”
Xiao Luo was preparing to wash up when the little girl Su Bei knocked at the door outside.
Xiao Luo had to open the door and let her in.
“Dad, have you brushed your teeth after breakfast? My mother said that I have to brush my teeth every morning and evening so that no worms will grow.” Su Bei earnestly lectured Xiao Luo.
“Dad will brush them now!”
Xiao Luo intimately touched her head, and then went into the bathroom.
The little girl also came in with her small hand clinging to the edge of the sink and looked at Xiao Luo unblinkingly with her big black gem-like eyes.
“Dad.”
“Hmm?”
“Why don"t you live with mommy and me?”
“Dad has to work at night. Living with you and your mother will disturb your rest.” Xiao Luo made up a random reason.
The little girl frowned and said, “Then is it ok to work during the day?”
“There are things that happen during the day.”
Xiao Luo put down his toothbrush and cup and gently squeezed her little face.
After was.h.i.+ng his face, he picked up Beibei and went out.
Arriving at Su Li"s apartment, the dining table in the hall was full of breakfast food; toast, poached eggs, corn, cakes, milk, etc. Aunt Li was still busy in the kitchen. Seeing Xiao Luo holding Su Bei in his arms, she warmly greeted him, “Mr. Xiao, breakfast is served!”
Xiao Luo nodded, then sat down at the table and said “Morning” to Su Li, who was sitting opposite to him.
Su Li didn"t answer him but just looked up at him.
Her beautiful and unsurpa.s.sed face with slender curved eyelashes, exquisite small nose, thin and tender lips, and a head of black hair that was curled with an attractive l.u.s.ter reflected by the sunlight s.h.i.+ning in from the balcony. She looked as pure as a fairy inducing an extraordinary poetic charm.
“Su Bei, he is up now, can you eat quietly?”
“Mmm.”
The little girl nodded her little head.
Xiao Luo smiled and put her on a high stool.
The little girl smiled sweetly at Xiao Luo from time to time while eating breakfast, and Xiao Luo smiled back.
Looking at the two people appearing like a close father and daughter, Su Li had a burst of envy and jealousy, even anger. Su Bei was brought up by her, but she was completely incomparable by an outsider. It felt like she was the outsider. But she couldn"t say anything, she hired Xiao Luo to take on such a role as Su Bei"s father, and Xiao Luo looked like he was doing it very well, wasn"t this what she wanted?
“After breakfast, I have to go out for a bit.” Xiao Luo said to Su Li first.
“I said, you can do your own thing while playing this role well.” Su Li didn"t even look at him when she spoke.
Xiao Luo didn"t say a word, this woman seemed very reluctant to talk to him. He also didn"t like to talk more, so he kept silent.
After leaving Star Moon Bay hotel, Xiao Luo dialed his cousin"s phone number, Ding Zhenyun. His first task was to pull this lost poor youth out of the pyramid scheme scam.
After he heard that Xiao Luo came alone, Ding Zhenyun immediately agreed to meet at a place.
It was a subway station. When Xiao Luo arrived, he did not see Ding Zhenyun"s figure. Instead, two strange youths came to pick him up.
Pale and emaciated, it looked like it was due to severe malnutrition.
One of them warmly took Xiao Luo"s hand, “You are Zhenyun"s cousin? We are his good friends. He asked us to pick you up.”
“Why didn"t he come?” Xiao Luo asked.
“He doesn"t have time. He has to study in cla.s.s. Please come with us.” The other replied.
Xiao Luo already had a general guess in his heart that "studying in cla.s.s" was nothing more than brainwas.h.i.+ng.
He agreed to come, followed the two and walked through several busy and noisy streets. Finally, he turned and walked into a dirty, messy and poor alley, where advertis.e.m.e.nts for rent were posted everywhere. Each house was very shabby. The people he met here were mostly old people, and the cries of children came from one of the houses.
Obviously, there are many migrant workers living here, including people from all over the world.
Xiao Luo followed the two men down a dark corridor, and then walked until he finally arrived at their destination.
Three rooms and one hall, they looked very shabby, and a musty smell washed over him as soon as he walked in. In one of the rooms, seven or eight people were sitting on the ground, listening with notebooks. The one who was speaking was tall, hale and hearty, his white s.h.i.+rt was spotless, and his age was young. He was full of energy when he was making a speech.
His cousin Ding Zhenyun sat on the ground with the others and listened attentively.
“Brother Lu, Zhenyun"s cousin is here.” One of the men who brought Xiao Luo here said.
The young man who was giving a speech immediately welcomed him warmly, holding Xiao Luo"s hand tightly with both hands, “Brother, it is not as good as coming early. We are just taking a course of starting a business. You should also sit down and listen to it. Zhenyun, show your cousin in.”
Ding Zhenyun was short and dark. Although he was in his twenties, he still looked like a growing young man, it seemed to be atavism. He somewhat looked similar to Xiao Luo.
“Cousin, come on, let"s sit down and listen to lectures first, then catch up.” He came out and pulled Xiao Luo in.
“You"ve lost weight.”
Xiao Luo felt extremely sad. He saw cabbage and radish in the kitchen outside. Ding Zhenyun"s food must be very poor these days. Everyday it would be cabbage or radish, or a mixture of the two, so malnutrition wasn"t strange.
“Suffering from hards.h.i.+p is the only way to be a human being. It"s nothing to suffer now. Because when you get rich later, everything is worth it.” Ding Zhenyun said with a smile.
Xiao Luo helplessly shook his head, looking at this skinny cousin of his, he felt very distressed.
“Continuing what I"ve said, you only need to invest 3,800 yuan to get a qualification in chain sales. Then you can develop three people. They will then develop their own three people respectively. They will double their geometry and earn 112,000 yuan when they go out. The companies we cooperate with have a fair and reasonable five-three-level system. Namely five levels, three promotion stages, and are simply divided by the English letters abcde, namely; senior salesman, business manager, business director, business leader and trainee salesman.”
The so-called Lu Ge said as he talked about the place of happiness, he drew a multiplied pattern on the small black board and explained it carefully.
Xiao Luo really wanted to laugh, what an obvious pyramid scheme.
“When you personally sell one or two products for the company, you are an intern salesman of the company. When you and your department sell 64 products for the company, you are a business manager. Do you think it is difficult? I tell you intuitively that the difference between D and E can earn you more than 700 dollars.
The difference between C and D can be about 4,000 dollars, that is to say, when your left and right arms grow to 16 people, you can make a profit, but for you personally, you may only need to grow to two or three. In short, you are sitting here waiting for others to make money for you. Doesn"t that sound exciting?”
The people listening were clapping in the cla.s.s. Ding Zhenyun was the most enthusiastic one. His applause was especially intense.
