Blackstone Code

The boxing match is exciting, a kind of excitement that is different from that in movies and TV shows, and even a kind of excitement that is different from the high-level fighting matches in the real world.

The wonderful thing about this match is that both fighters had reasons to fight on, even in the end, both of them were completely exhausted, and they still insisted on wanting to stand for a while longer.

If one of them hadn't really been unable to hold on any longer and fell heavily to the ground and couldn't get up again, this game might have continued for a while.

Tragic, this word is very suitable to describe the battle in the iron cage, from the fierce attack at the beginning to the competition to see who can push the opponent down at the end, the ground of the ring was stained red, the scabbed wounds, and the dark red blood The traces left after drying...

When the winner was expressionlessly supported by the referee and raised his arms, when the loser knelt on the ground sobbing, all of this had a great impact on Helen.

She went to college, read a lot of books, and knew that sometimes men can be fragile, such as her father.

Before she worked for Lynch, she had seen her father be vulnerable more than once while trying to appear strong.

She thought that was the limit of a man. No matter how painful it was, he would force himself to smile. But at this moment, she realized that men can actually cry.

No matter how tenacious and persistent he was just now, the moment he failed, he would collapse and cry like a girl.

Men's tears are more lethal than women's tears. After all, those that are rare are precious. If there are too many, they are too common, and they are worthless.

Lynch waved to the waiter, who came over immediately, "Mr. Lynch, it is an honor to serve you."

Lynch's photo, Mr. Wardrick's photo, Mr. Patu's photo...the photos of the members of the board of directors of the joint development company have been printed and distributed to all the service personnel on board.

Cruise lines don't expect them to be able to please every board member, but at least they can't cause problems because the service personnel don't know these important people.

Lynch's face was the most special among all the members of the board of directors. He was the youngest, the most handsome, and the most temperamental, so the waiter recognized Lynch at a glance.

"Can you tell me a story in the ring?" Lynch asked with a smile. "The lady next to me is very interested in the story of the failed gentleman."

Helen turned her head and glanced at Lynch, with something strange in her eyes. She quietly reached out and held Lynch's hand, then turned to look at the waiter.

The waiter described a very ordinary but extraordinary story in an emotional voice.

It is ordinary, because the core of this story is related to money, and almost everything is more or less related to money.

It is not ordinary because there are other things beyond money, such as family love, struggle and redemption.

In order to provide suitable programs for the audience on the cruise ship, the cage ring competition does not only have professional boxers, but also some semi-professional fighters. Of course, this is what the cruise company says.

In fact, these semi-professional players may not even know the rules of the ring a year ago, but they need money, and at the same time they meet the standards required by cruise companies and other entertainment organizations, and then agents will come to them.

The agent will provide them with a one-year contract. During the year, they will probably receive professional training for at least half a year, and then come to a cruise ship or other places to participate in competitions.

With at least half a year of high-intensity training, they are already able to play in style, and the reason for them to join is money.

The loser was once a senior partner of a large company and received enviable dividends every year. His wife was accidentally diagnosed with a relatively rare disease. He heard that non-public medical resources had better treatment options. , So he transferred his wife's social medical security to the medical security service provided by a commercial insurance company.

Just like what is advertised on TV and in newspapers, the upper class of society are using commercial medical insurance and enjoying higher private medical services.

When you have money and can make money, these are not problems. The medical group uses the best medical resources and medical technology on his wife, allowing him to feel the benefits and value of commercial medical insurance.

Although his wife's illness was not cured, it was relieved to the extent that it hardly affected his life and would not continue to worsen. This made him very satisfied. However, all of this was destroyed by the emergence of the financial tsunami.

The company he worked for did not survive the second round of the financial tsunami and directly declared bankruptcy, and he lost his job.

Federal people don't have any savings habits. The money in his hand is simply not enough for him to maintain his wife's insurance. If he cannot pay for medical insurance, the medical group stops all the additional medical services for his wife.

When there is money, and when money can be given all the time, the medical group will treat these customers as seriously and carefully as God.

But once customers can't come up with more money, they will become garbage and be thrown into the garbage heap.

The man considered transferring his wife's commercial medical insurance back to the social security system, so that he could at least get the most basic medical protection, but unfortunately, the Social Services Administration and the Federal Health Service refused him to do so.

Because when he chose to give up the medical insurance in social security, he signed a voluntary waiver document.

The federal social security is a power that every federal person has enjoyed since birth, but it is worth noting that this power is not applied by citizens, but is the power given to citizens by the federation in accordance with laws and charters when citizens are born.

This is not an application, which means that if someone gives up these rights, there is no way to reapply.

The federal government does not even have an agency to receive people who want to apply, so it is naturally impossible to talk about returning to the social security system.

So in order to continue to pay high medical insurance and medical expenses to collect money, this well-dressed mainstay of society two years ago and a successful person in people's eyes had to get into the cage at this time to please those around him.

But he failed, which also meant that he didn't have many chances left. If he lost again, he would be eliminated.

In addition to the almost non-existent basic salary in the contract, he will not receive any additional money, let alone use it to save his wife.

Lynch could feel the girl holding his hand harder than at first, drawn to the story.

He freed his hand from the girl's grasp and took out a pen from his jacket pocket.

The waiter quickly understood what Lin Qi meant. He respectfully took out a note pad and handed it to Lin Qi.

Lynch quickly wrote and drew on it, and then signed his name. The waiter glanced at it when he took it back, and thanked Lynch in surprise, "Thank you very much for your generosity, Mr. Lynch..."

Lin Qi smiled and nodded, and the waiter left quickly.

He sent a tip to the waiter, and this tip will be settled with the joint development company in the form of a bill. Lynch, other board members, shareholders, and ordinary consumption on the ship will finally be settled with the joint development company.

No one is taking advantage of the company, that just gives people an excuse to make fun of them, but obviously, tipping is not one of them.

Ten minutes later, after watching the game, the crowd of onlookers was slowly dispersing under the guidance of the host. The next game will be held in half an hour.

The girl sat for a while and then her spirit relaxed. She felt... life is cruel and always takes away people's hope and future.

The only good thing is that she met Lynch, who gave her a job with a high salary, which saved her and her family from a similar tragic fate.

She couldn't imagine that if her family also encountered these problems, they would have to sell their house to rent a house in a neighborhood with a bad environment, and go deeper into the abyss in the long dark tunnel.

In the end, in order to make money, will she become one of those girls in the swimming pool outside the room?

It's possible, because she really needs money, she needs money to support her family and give her sister better treatment.

The failed male boxers in the ring can actually arouse Helen's sympathy, because the worst situation they face is similar, that is, the physical condition of their loved ones.

It takes money, a lot of money, a lot of money.

She could meet Lynch, but who could that poor guy meet?

o(╥﹏╥)o

After she regained her composure, she looked at Lin Qi, implying that she was much better and could leave, but Lin Qi did not do so.

"hold on……"

Helen didn't know what she was waiting for, and she had no problem, just sitting quietly next to Lin Qi.

Not long after, a very embarrassed middle-aged man came here under the leadership of the waiter, "Mr. Lynch, the person you are looking for is here."

"If you have any instructions, I'll be right next to you..."

The waiter quickly moved away from here, but did not leave Lynch's sight. The guy who stayed on Lynch's side was the loser in the ring.

"Do you smoke?" Lynch asked.

There were a lot of people here just now, so he didn't smoke. Now that the people here have dispersed, he took out his cigarette case and took one.

The embarrassed middle-aged man lowered his head and hesitated for a while, finally nodded. He took a cigarette from Lynch's hand, and Lynch's lighter, and lit it for himself.

"You are lucky!" Lynch also gave himself one. He crossed his legs, leaned forward slightly, and pressed the elbow of his left hand on his leg. "Your experience is similar to that of the lady next to me. , so I decided to give you a chance, you can introduce yourself, and if it’s suitable, I will give you a job!”

The embarrassed middle-aged man suddenly raised his head, revealing that slightly distorted face. He looked at Lynch in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe that after fate played a big joke on him, he gave him another A joke, a good joke!

Helen, who was sitting on the side, suddenly realized at this time that the middle-aged man who looked very embarrassed in front of him, a man in his 30s or 40s, was the guy who knelt on the ground and cried just now.

She suddenly turned her head to look at Lin Qi, who always maintained his usual smile on his face.

Confident, clean and sunny!
