taxi company.
boom...
The driver (Old Zhang) drifted the car into the courtyard, and even stepped on the gas pedal several times in neutral.
Boom... Boom...
The deafening noise startled everyone in the company.
Whoosh...
Seven or eight people rushed out. The company manager in the lead was taken aback when he saw Lao Zhang dragging himself out of the car, then he cursed, "Lao Zhang! Are you fucking crazy?! What are you doing stepping on the gas in the yard? And... what time is it? It's not time to hand over your shift yet, what are you doing back here? Let me tell you, company policy is that as long as you drive, it counts as a day, and you can't lose a single penny of your vehicle allowance!"
Old Zhang laughed:
"Haha...production stock..."
His smile vanished: "I originally planned to approach you as an ordinary person, but instead you've distanced yourselves. Fine! I'll lay my cards on the table... I'm rich..."
He spread his hands, his face arrogant.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
He walked step by step up to the manager: "Vehicle distribution, right?"
brush!
He pulled out a thousand yuan from his pocket and slapped the other man across the face twice: "Here you go... the rest is all your tip. Keep your eyes open from now on, don't look down on people... otherwise! Believe me, I can bury you in money..."
This scene.
The others were stunned: Normally, Lao Zhang would never throw a thousand yuan at the manager, and he would even try to delay paying his daily car allowance of 150 yuan. What's going on today?
What's this talk of a showdown? It's all about money.
Is Lao Zhang a rich man?
Bullshit!
They'd known Lao Zhang for a long time, and knew his family inside and out. He was an ordinary person, and he also liked to gamble, so his family had always been struggling financially.
What does it mean that they are suddenly being so generous?
Have you struck it rich?
How much wealth must one have to be so generous?
now.
The manager was stunned for a moment when he saw the thousand yuan in his hand. Then he was furious that Lao Zhang had slapped him in the face with money. He yelled at Lao Zhang, who was about to leave, "What? Who do you think you are? Do you want to quit? If you don't, there are plenty of other people who will!"
Old Zhang: "I quit! I don't care about your pittance, I have plenty of money..."
"Old Zhang!" A female accountant ran to Old Zhang's side and tugged at him. "What's wrong? What's gotten into you? Let me tell you, taxi jobs are hard to find these days... Don't..."
Old Zhang raised his hand: "No, no! Considering how kind you've been to me before: here you go..." He pulled out another thousand yuan and slapped it into the accountant's hand.
Then he turned and left...
Accountant: (☉_☉)
Manager: ∑(O_O;)
Others: (◐ o ◑ )(＊ﾟ◇ﾟ)⊙▂⊙
They couldn't believe that Old Zhang, who was usually incredibly stingy and lived paycheck to paycheck, would be so generous.
this...
Did he win the lottery?!
It wasn't until another driver returned from his shift that he told them, "Holy crap! You guys don't know? You all know about the Black Dragon Group's big move today, right? You know about the wanted poster they issued, right? I don't know what kind of luck Old Zhang had this morning, he picked up a criminal, and he reported him. The Black Dragon Group gave him a five million reward, that's five million... It's more exciting than winning the lottery... Damn it... I regret it so much... Why didn't I go to that place to pick up a car... So close, so close... That money would have been mine..."
He looked extremely regretful.
The taxi company was filled with lamentations that day, and countless taxi drivers were filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment.
.....
That day.
When Lao Zhang returned home, he put on a show of bravado, proclaiming himself a serf who had risen above his station, which impressed his wife and children.
That month, Lao Zhang's family bought a new big house, a new car, and new clothes for his wife and children. The whole family seemed to be getting along well and everything was going in a good direction. Three months later, under the deliberate guidance of some people, Lao Zhang started to become addicted to playing cards again, but he was still cautious and did not gamble too much.
After several months of wins and losses, I've only made 100,000 to 200,000!
His wife scolded him and told him to quit gambling! He wouldn't listen! The two often argued, and eventually, Old Zhang got involved with the accountant. When his wife found out, he beat her up and they divorced! (He only got one million from his wife) and got together with the accountant!
Another six months passed.
Old Zhang kept buying new houses and cars for the accountant! He spent hundreds of thousands on gold, continued gambling and partying every night, living a very extravagant life: in the end, he not only lost all his money but also incurred millions in debt.
The accountant left!
And they disappeared with their house, car, and gold!
.....
Old Zhang was driven to desperation by debt collectors, and he simply couldn't accept reality:
A tug-of-war between my neck and the roof beam!
When it was discovered... it stank!!!
One year!
Just one year!
His life was full of ups and downs. Although he was living a less than ideal life, there was still hope. But a sudden windfall completely changed Old Zhang's life: he enjoyed a few months of family happiness, then a few months of being praised to the point of ruin, living the life he had always dreamed of every night, and then he was completely broke, burdened with huge debts, forced to eat meager meals and unable to survive, and finally he could only wrestle with the roof beams...
.....
On the other side.
Old Liu, another citizen who provided a clue, received two million yuan, less than Old Zhang.
But he didn't publicize it. Instead, he went home and called his wife over to tell her what had happened.
Wife: "What! You said you got a two million reward from the Black Dragon Group? Are you kidding me? In the middle of the night...you must be dreaming...you don't have a fever...are you kidding me..."
Old Liu took out his bank card.
Wife: "You're not kidding..."
Old Liu: "You know about the citywide manhunt that's been making headlines today, and I'm one of the lucky ones."
Wife: "My God... two million! How are we going to spend that much money... buying a new house, a new car... you quit your job..."
Old Liu: "No way! Two million is a lot, but if we flaunt it like this, it won't take long. A person only has one chance in their life to acquire wealth, and only one chance to change their fate. If we don't cherish it, we'll be completely finished later..."
Wife: "You're right! How about we start a business..."
Old Liu: "No way! Neither of us has business experience. If we rashly start a business, we'll easily lose money!"
Wife: "Then let's put it in a fixed-term deposit at the bank!"
Old Liu: "That won't work either! We can't control ourselves if we suddenly put such a large sum of money in the bank. We might want to invest it later, and we also have to prevent others from borrowing it..."
Wife: "What should we do then?"
Old Liu: "Buy a shop! As the saying goes: a shop can be passed down for three generations, and the shop will still exist even after the person leaves! Buy a shop with two million, and the rent will be enough for us to live on every year."
Wife: "I'll do whatever you say!"
Afterwards, Lao Liu bought three storefronts, and his net worth multiplied every year thanks to the rental income and rising property prices. He earned hundreds of thousands of yuan in rent each year, and his family lived the middle-class life they had always dreamed of.
.....
The amounts received by other individuals also varied!
...
Get rich quick!
So many people dream of this!
It's a miracle drug!
It's also poison!
Those who stay true to themselves will persevere to the end!
Money-grubbers: Destined for a miserable end!
...
Of course, Qin Jiang didn't care that Heilong's single action could affect the future fate of many people.
What he really cares about is:
The global cavalry...is here!!!
