    ?

    Soon, the global financial crisis broke out.  Brother Yang's foreign trade company couldn't survive and I lost my job again, so I had to find another job.

    I met a college classmate Zhang Yanyan online.  She told me about a friend who started a law firm and asked me to help. Who would doubt a classmate from college?  I agreed without thinking, and I couldn't find a job at home, so I had nothing to do so I ran over to help.

    At around 3:40 in the afternoon, she treated me to a meal first, and then took me to a remote unit building.  As soon as I entered the door, a group of people came out, including men and women. Everyone held my hand with great enthusiasm, introduced themselves one by one, and kept calling me brother. I had a slight cold, and she  He was also quite enthusiastic, asking me about my health, boiling water for me to drink, and then casually chatting about some old things, before I knew it, it was 8 o'clock in the evening.

    At this time someone asked her to go out for a while.  When I came back, she mysteriously asked me to go to another room to play games. As soon as I went in, I saw all the men and women I met when I first came sitting on the floor, forming a circle in twos and threes, with a few decks of fishing cards in the middle  .There is a penalty rule when playing cards: the first time you lose, you will be fined to sing a song; the second time you lose, you must truthfully answer a question for everyone present, such as the password of the bank card; the third time  The first time you lose, you will cry like a pig, and say that you are a pig in front of everyone, and you must wait for the first person to nod before you can tell the next person; the fourth time you lose, you will cry like a hen, saying that you have laid an egg.

    After we got tired of playing, we started counting the number of people again, and it was stipulated that whoever counted to a certain number would be punished like losing a card. At 11:30 in the evening, a person suddenly floated in from outside, in his 30s, a medium-sized fat man.  I didn't care, the rest of the people immediately stood up and said in unison: "Hello, leader!"

    Before everyone figured out what was going on, Yanyan was busy introducing this person as their leader.  I nodded.  The so-called leader was full of displeasure. Someone suddenly stood up and asked, "Should the leader speak?"

    The so-called leader said: "Go to sleep first."

    The man was in one room and the woman was sleeping on the cold floor in the other.  There are many quilts, either spread or covered, and the musty smell is really unbearable.  There was only one pillow, and they gave it to me in unison.

    The youngest of these people is only in their teens, and the oldest is in their 40s.  They talk and act like children, which is very funny.  Before going to bed, Yanyan came to me furtively and said, to keep my mobile phone for safety first.  I threw the phone to her without hesitation.  She also offered to help me get the money.  I am determined not to give it.

    ? At 7:30 the next morning, someone woke us up by yelling.

    After waking up, these people went out in batches, and only Yanyan and the two men went out to have breakfast with me.  On the way, one of the men said to me: "Don't you like excitement? Today we will take you to a more lively place. There are more people there than we had last night."

    I also thought about some things when I first came here, and immediately thought of the reports about pyramid schemes I had read before.  And that person said that he wanted to take me to a more lively place, which is the place where the MLM organization collectively brainwashes its subordinates.  I realized that I had been cheated by my classmates, and a wave of ignorant anger surged up.  But reason tells me that I must remain calm.

    I wanted to call back first, and then find an opportunity to run out. So I turned around and said to her: "Give me the phone." Unexpectedly, she said casually, lent the phone to a friend!  I could hardly control myself, but I still tried my best to suppress the anger, rubbed my head vigorously, pretended to be in pain and said: "My illness has occurred again, and now I must go back to take medicine."

    We were passing a pharmacy, and one of them said, "What do you take? Buy it here?"

    I said helplessly: "It's useless, I only have the special medicine prescribed by the doctor for my disease, and there are hundreds of boxes."

    They had nothing to do, so they had to agree to go back to take medicine with me.  Along the way, I tried my best to pretend to be uncomfortable, and finally returned to the unit building.  After entering the room, they wanted to watch me take the medicine. I was not sick at all. In a hurry, he suddenly remembered that there was a tablet of amoxicillin in the bag, so he took it out and ate one.

    After taking the medicine, I lay weakly on the floor and said, "I can't go anymore, give me your phone number, and I'll send a text message to my friend."

    She didn't give it to me, and said, "I'll give it to you when my friend comes back at noon."

    Those two went out with me and didn't leave, they sat and talked beside me.  I understand, those two are watching me!

    I'm not afraid. Seeing the wretched looks of those two people, I can definitely put them down.  But as soon as they were put down, the call would stop coming back, and I didn't know where there were people.  There are too many people and I can't handle it. I decided to make them feel that they have been brainwashed first.  When you are unprepared for me, run away after calling back.

    IWhen I was at a loss, another person came in.  It is said that he is a college student from a college in this city, and his purpose of coming here is to do my ideological and political work.  I was smoking a stuffy cigarette while listening to him talk.

    He talked from 8:30 until 11:50 noon. Yanyan went to cook. The so-called rice was steamed buns, vegetables fried with cabbage, and a dozen people cooked a whole big pot.

    When Yanyan was cooking, I found an opportunity to walk into the kitchen and asked her to return the phone to me. Before I finished speaking, I heard footsteps outside, so I immediately put on a smile and said, "Your cooking should be very good.  eat."

    At 12:30 noon, we have dinner.  I have no appetite at all.

    A very long wooden table surrounded by a group of people, before eating, the group shouted in unison: "The leader eats first, the leader eats first." After they shouted, the so-called leader sat down, and those  The people sat down, each with two steamed buns and a bowl of vegetables. I didn't eat a single bite, fearing that there might be something like Mongolian sweat medicine in it.

    During dinner, I never had a chance to ask Yanyan for a mobile phone.  After the meal, the so-called leader spoke again for more than two hours. I was extremely anxious, but it was inconvenient for me to have an attack.

    As soon as the so-called leader opened his mouth, I could tell that this wretched man was awesome, and there were many ridiculous mistakes in what he said, such as "the human brain is divided into left and right hemispheres, and the left half of the brain controls the left side of the body.  Half of the brain controls the right side of the body." After hearing this, I really wanted to call him awesome.

    Finally he finished speaking, and it was past 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Some people cleaned up the table and continued to play games.  I didn't go this time, I just kept smoking, and those two people kept watching me.

    I couldn't help it, so I said to Yanyan: "Give me your mobile phone, I'll call my family and say I'm going to stay here for a few more days, so they don't worry about it."

    I didn't have much hope at first, but I didn't expect Yanyan to give me her mobile phone.

    I took her mobile phone, and while no one was paying attention, I suddenly pushed away the two people who were watching, opened the door and ran out.  I finally saw the sun, and it felt so good, I don't usually feel it.

    When I ran out, Yanyan chased after me.  I ran forward frantically for a while, and stopped when I came to a crowded place on the street.

    Yanyan was still following, I turned around and said loudly: "Give me back the phone!"

    She reached out her hand and took out the phone from her pocket. It turned out that she had been carrying it with her all the time.  I picked up the phone and saw seven or eight people chasing after her. I took her phone and shouted: "You all go back, if you don't go back, I will immediately call 110 to call the police." Those people turned around obediently.  .

    Seeing that there were more than a dozen unread messages and more than a dozen missed calls on the phone, all of which were text messages and calls from Sister Chen and Wei Ling, he couldn't make a single call.  They must be very anxious to find me now.  I sent them each a text message.  I told Yanyan to go back and pick up my bag immediately.

    When Yanyan went to pick up the bag, I picked up two bricks from the ground, and if they came hard, I would fight them!

    ? At 3 o¡¯clock in the afternoon, I turned my back to the sun, looking very funny, with long hair, disheveled, wearing a windbreaker, standing on the street with two bricks, looking left and right like a rascal.

    Ten minutes later, Yanyan delivered the bag to me. I opened the bag, checked that nothing was missing, grabbed the bag and carried it on my back, and waved for a taxi.  Throw it to her.  I went directly to the bus station by car, and immediately got on the bus home. I called Yanyan on the bus and said, "You are very good. Even my friends betrayed me. I know you for nothing."  , we won¡¯t know each other from now on.¡± I think she will never face anyone again, and I didn¡¯t see her at the class reunion during the winter vacation, so she must still be dreaming of getting rich.

    At the beginning, I persuaded her to let her go too, but she said that this is not a pyramid scheme, but a direct sale. Fuck him? Go to hell, in fact, pyramid schemes and direct sales are the same form, but with a different name!

    After I ran out, I felt very relaxed, indescribably relaxed, a kind of relaxation that is impossible to experience at ordinary times.  I looked at the time, from yesterday to running out, exactly 24 hours.

    I didn't dare to tell Wei Ling and Sister Chen about this, I only talked to some guys.  After they heard it, they all said that I was lucky and lucky. Because of the people who were deceived by the pyramid schemes, there were not many people like me who escaped unscathed, or almost none.  I finally realized that no matter what I do in the future, I have to be more careful. Otherwise, the loss may not be just money.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
