Especially since the eldest son is about to go to university, that is another huge expense.

Seeing the bill in the mailbox, Old John wanted to die, but everything changed drastically after a phone call.

That day, Old John was walking on the streets of Xiaosu in the cold wind, with two big hamburgers in his arms, which were the special food he bought after queuing for two hours at a McDonald's fast food restaurant.

Suddenly, I heard a rush of phone ringing in the cold wind. I turned my head and saw that the ringing sound came from a telephone booth on the side of the road.

Old John was in a hurry to go back and give the big hamburger, which was still warm, to his wife. He was in no mood to pay attention to it. He stepped on the frost and made a rattling sound, and walked quickly to the distance. The ringing of the bell became farther and farther away, and was gradually covered by the sound of the wind. Old John's nervous mood was slightly calmed down.

Two months ago, his finances were already in trouble, and he received many calls every day. Those from the North American tax department were okay, and they threatened to send him to prison, but wouldn't it be better if he went to prison? No money yet, so Old John wasn't at all worried about them doing that.

But those usury companies were not so easy to talk to. They would threaten to cut off Old John's fingers on the phone.

So now Old John has formed a conditioned reflex, and when the phone rings, he will feel a little bit in his heart.

Alas, I don’t want to think about it, I’d better go home quickly, the hamburger won’t taste good if it’s cold, and Chris’s stomach is also bad.

Old John picked up his fragmented thoughts and quickened his pace to walk home, but when he walked to another street, "Di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di!" The phone rang again in his ear.

Old John turned his head to look, and the payphone on the side of the street that was tortured by bad boys was making a rapid beeping sound.

Is this thing still usable?

As soon as the thought was born in my head, it was replaced by fear, where do I go, where does the phone ring?

Is it a prank?

Old John's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly continued walking. He was in no mood to joke with those bad boys now. But he didn't take two steps, and the phone not far away also beeped "Didi Didi!", and now Old John was stunned. He looked up and looked around, but there were no shadows of those troublemakers around.

So what's going on?

According to Old John's personality, he should ignore the ringing of the phone and go home directly, but at this moment he is at the bottom of his life and urgently needs something to bring about a turnaround.

So Old John walked to the phone booth like a ghost, and picked up the phone whose handle was almost broken in half.

The phone was connected quickly, and a woman's cold voice came from inside. The sound was like the icy cold wind in winter, which made people shudder after hearing it.

"John and Christ, nicknamed Old John, are now 40 years old and live in No. 20192, Thirteenth Avenue. They used to be the back office of the newspaper, with a monthly salary of 500 dollars. Half a month ago, they accidentally bumped into the editor-in-chief and The female reporter was fired for chatting in the office. She has three children and currently owes a total of 23,505 yuan in debt. If you can't make up the money by the end of this month, the house will definitely be confiscated by the bank , you will be blacklisted personally, and you may even go bankrupt.”

The cold woman didn't wait for Old John to speak, and said a long paragraph mechanically. This passage shocked Old John completely, because the information in it was his personal information, and even the debts were calculated clearly.

but

"No, I only owe twenty-three thousand dollars in debt, you are wrong!" Old John is an honest man, and he is very clear about his debts.

"Uh..." The other party was silent for a while, and then said calmly: "That's right, the five hundred and five yuan debt is the interest incurred at the end of this month."

Now Old John was completely silent, because according to the debt he had calculated before, it was exactly as the woman said.

The woman continued: "I also know that you have two hamburgers in your arms. You bought them from the hamburger shop on Fifth Avenue. You used a coupon you found on the side of the road. The total cost was two yuan and five cents." dollars."

"You, you, how do you know everything!"

Old John raised his head in shock, and looked around, "Are you hiding there and staring at me!"

"I am everywhere!" The woman's words were full of doubts.

This kind of indisputability made Old John, who was originally skeptical, feel an indescribable mood at this time. It's as if this woman is the god of this world, her bright eyes are enough to see everything in the world clearly.

But why did such a big man come to him? ?

Old John was a smart man, and he realized the problem as soon as he turned his eyes. He pondered and asked, "Dear Madam, what do you need me to do for you?"

Perhaps Old John's composure exceeded the woman's expectations. She was taken aback for a moment, and then said with a smile: "It's not what you can do for me, but that I can help you change the current predicament."

Old John held the microphone and didn't speak, he wanted to know the woman's plan.

Sure enough, the woman continued: "According to my calculations, according to your ability and luck, the possibility of being able to make up 23,505 yuan before the end of the month is infinitely close to zero, that is, after one month, your Your house will be confiscated by the bank, you will be beaten to death by the usury company, and you will live on the streets, and your wife will divorce you with three children, and you will fall into an endless abyss from then on.”

The scene described by the woman made Old John shudder. He wanted to refute and opened his mouth, but he didn't make a sound, because he knew that the woman's words were not wrong at all.

After a long silence, Old John's thin voice trembled, and he squeezed out a voice: "Then can you help me change all this?"

"That's right, but it's also wrong. It's not me helping you, but you helping yourself. As long as you do what I say, you can not only pay off your debts before the end of the month, but also get a large bonus and live a prosperous life." life, I know, you have long wanted to send your eldest son to an Ivy League college, there is no money in it, but it is absolutely impossible, and your younger son seems to have a congenital heart disease, and the queue at the public hospital is nowhere to be seen. When it comes to him, the heart attack may have killed him, and it is almost impossible for a private hospital to treat this disease without millions of dollars."

"Do something for you? Are you asking me to commit a crime? That's absolutely impossible!" Old John refused the woman's request without any reason, because although he was poor, he still had a bottom line, otherwise he wouldn't have broken through He was fired for adultery with the leader.

"Crime? Hehehe, you are wrong. I am not the savior. Why do you do this? I just provide you with a formal and legal job, and you earn your wages by virtue of your ability and labor." Woman There was no trace of emotion in her words, just like she was born a cold-blooded animal.

legitimate job?

Old John was overjoyed. He didn't know why women were omnipotent and omniscient, and he didn't know why women fell in love with him, but as long as he didn't break the law, he could do anything.

"What job, where do I work, do I need pre-job training, does the company provide lunch, and is there a commuting subsidy? Uh, of course, it's okay without lunch and subsidy." Old John asked quickly. What a job means to a man is self-evident.

Seemingly shocked by Old John's enthusiasm, the woman was silent for a while and then said: "Let me first introduce myself. My name is a secret, but you can call me a wise man, an omnipotent wise man."

wise man? Or the omnipotent wise man?

Old John was just surprised, but did not refute, because for him, the most important issue now is to quickly find a job and pay off those debts. As for the woman's name, it doesn't matter at all. After all, for employees, as long as the boss pays wages on time, the name of the boss is not important at all.

But he had to not be impatient now, so he could only ask with a smile: "Well, Ms. Wise, what do you want Old John to do for you?"

"I want to set up a printing shop, and I need you to be the supervisor of the printing shop, responsible for the daily operation and personnel recruitment of the shop."

"Print shop? I'm in charge? But I was just an ordinary clerk before, and I don't know how to run a shop!"

Even when the good old John is about to fall into the abyss, he is still afraid that other people's business will be lost because of his own incompetence.

But his worry was completely dispelled by a wise man's words, replaced by endless doubts.

I only heard the wise lady say: "This printing shop is not for profit, so you don't have to worry."

Not for profit?

Although Old John is not a business elite, he also knows that whenever he invests and starts a company, it is to make money. No one will waste his money, even if many of the richest people who do charity do it for tax avoidance or for their children. Consider the future.

If it's not for profit, isn't that a fool?

Old John understood at this moment that the woman on the phone must be trying to take him for a fool. This was really unbearable, so the old John said to the phone: "I'm sorry, Ms. Wise, although I am a poor person, or the kind that is about to go bankrupt, I also have my own dignity. Seriously hurt my self-esteem, considering you may be just a little girl, I forgive you this time, but we have nothing to talk about, goodbye!"

Old John was about to hang up the phone as he said that, but the wise man just laughed, and then said: "Your attitude completely shows that I didn't find the wrong person. How about it, take a look at your mobile phone."

Looking at your phone?

Old John held the microphone in one hand, took out the phone from his pocket with the other, lit up the broken screen, and a text message popped out.

The text message came from the bank, but it was not a common reminder call, but a transfer to the money message.

"Dear Mr. John, your bank account has deposited 20 million US dollars, please check it in time."

Twenty million dollars, Old John's eyes widened, only to feel that the surrounding buildings began to shake.

He has never seen so much money in his life, no, it should be something he didn't even dare to think about.

That wise woman might be joking, but the 20 million dollars is actually in front of him, lying in his bank account.

With this money, not only can I pay off all my debts, but I can also buy a small villa by the sea, take my children to play on the beach every day, and fall asleep listening to the sound of the raging waves at night.

The future is about to be bright.

Old John took several deep breaths in a row before suppressing the excitement in his heart. He quickly asked: "This is 20 million US dollars, just put it in my account like this, you are not afraid that I will take the money and run away." ?”

After all, according to the bank's rules, the money after the transfer belongs to the owner of the account, and it is entirely possible for a wise man to do this.

"Huh!" A wise man's sneer came from the receiver of the phone, and then there was a gloomy voice: "You can try it, but I can tell you clearly that you are not the first person I invited, and there are three more people in front of me." Well, they all secretly had bad intentions and wanted to hack my money, but now they are all lying on the bottom of the sea."

Old John couldn't help but shudder when he heard these words.

That's right, how can a person who can transfer 20 million US dollars at will be a fool? Since she dared to do this, she must have nothing to fear.

Unknowingly, Old John made this mysterious wise man into the leader of a criminal group from South America.

In TV dramas, you can often see such plots. In order to turn the money obtained by crime into legal money, the leader of a criminal group sends people to various places to open laundry companies. This is called money laundering.

The wise man must want me to help her launder money!

For money laundering, Old John has no psychological burden. He does not think it is a crime, because as a civilian, he has been exploited by the North American taxation department. He works hard and pays at least 60% It is really unacceptable that all salaries will be deducted as taxes.

"Okay, I agree to help you set up your print shop, but where is the print shop? When do I start working?"

According to normal thinking, even if the boss is careless and saves trouble, he should choose the address of the store.

Therefore, Old John felt that his question was not funny. But there was another gloomy laugh from the receiver.

"Ji Jie Jie Jie! This is your job!"

"Shouldn't you do my work, the location of the print shop, by yourself?"

"No, I have entrusted you with full authority. I am only responsible for providing funds. Not only site selection, but also personnel recruitment, store registration, and store design and other issues are all handled by you, the big manager."

"It's not in line with the rules. These things should be your job, the boss."

"I'll add money. In addition to your monthly salary of 500,000 U.S. dollars, I'll give you an additional 200,000 U.S. dollars in bonuses."
