The world begins with shameless people

2120 North Wallace Street.

Casti smiled and took Carl's arm, and the two of them went into the house again, looking as if what happened just now had never happened;
Fiona glanced at the two of them and rolled her eyes speechlessly.

The fact is, most people probably can't change much in their lifetime.

Fiona is a good example.

Even today, despite all that had happened and the state she had become, Fiona still instinctively felt that she was better than these shameless people in the South District and looked down on others.

In Fiona's eyes, Casti is a lunatic and a psychopath.

Fiona didn't want to have any contact with Casti, and hardly spoke to him...unless Casti brought her gifts or food.

Bottom line, it's pretty flexible.

In fact, although he was crazy, Casti was not too stupid. At least he was not so stupid that he could not see what kind of woman Fiona was.

In short, Casti doesn't like the self-righteous Fiona either.

Time flies, and Fiona has prepared lunch.

The four of them sat down at the table and started eating.

Fiona and Liam said nothing, just ate.

Casti continued to flirt with Carl and wanted to feed him food. Carl felt very strange and awkward about this...

However, Carl didn't know how to tell Casti. He was worried that he might accidentally irritate Casti again, so he had to bear it.

After eating, Fiona glanced at Casti, rolled her eyes, stood up and took the dishes to the kitchen, then went back to her room, lit a cigarette, and lay down.

After lying down for a while and finishing her cigarette, Fiona thought for a while, sat up, found a pen and paper, and started to do the math.

She has indeed made a lot of money working in the bar over the past month.

Originally, summer is the best season for bar business. What's more, she really worked hard to serve those damn rich people. She didn't say anything when those damn rich people took advantage of her... There's nothing wrong with a generous tip.

After a long while of thinking, the result came out.

After several months of hard work, she had already paid back almost two-thirds of the money she owed to the bank in order to pay off Veronica's debt, leaving only about $8,000 to pay back...

huh~~~
Faced with this result, Fiona breathed a sigh of relief.

More than 8,000 US dollars, not too much, but not too little either.

Just grit your teeth, live frugally, and be a little more relaxed and enthusiastic in the bar. You should be able to do it in a month.

It just so happens that August is over and in September, the bar business will gradually decline...

"Finally, I have to pay it back!" Fiona muttered to herself, fell on the bed, closed her eyes, and then, as a matter of course, silently cursed Veronica, that bitch.

The kitchen of a restaurant.

At this time in late July, the city of Chicago was as hot as a furnace, so hot that it was hard to describe.

Then, this heat was doubled in the restaurant's kitchen...

Lip, who works as a dishwasher here, sweats profusely as he washes the dishwasher and can't stop.

Lip really felt that if the temperature continued to rise like this, people might die of the heat!

"Fxxk!" Heat can make people irritable, and Lip is not a good-tempered person. As the heat got hotter, he suddenly cursed angrily. He really wanted to smash all the dishes in the sink in front of him.

Hearing the scolding, several employees who were busy nearby turned their heads and looked at Lip.

It was just a glance, no one cared about Lip, a dishwasher.

Everyone is very busy.

After venting his anger, Lip took a deep breath. What else could he do? He needed to make money! He had to persevere.

Immediately, Lip could only suppress his anger and continue washing the dishes silently.

At the same time, Lip couldn't help but miss the University of Chicago more and more... At the University of Chicago, he had a clean dormitory and was relaxed and comfortable most of the time, although he had to work in the cafeteria...

But relatively speaking, working in the cafeteria of the University of Chicago is much more comfortable than working here...

Just like that, Lip wanted to go back. Then, he suddenly remembered that there were other work-study programs at the University of Chicago...

The new school year will start in a month. Maybe he can apply for a program with better conditions and no longer have to work in the university cafeteria...

Lip decided to give it a try, so after finishing the work, he immediately wiped his hands and rushed out of the restaurant through the back door.

When he arrived at the back door of the restaurant, Lip, who was sweating all over and almost dripping, took a long breath, lifted up his shirt, wiped his face casually, took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep puff.

Done.

Lip pulled out his cell phone and called the department at the University of Chicago that oversees the student work-study program.

Communicated for a while.

Lip decided to apply for the position of dormitory manager without much hesitation.

the reason is simple.

First of all, if he becomes a dormitory manager, he can have his own dormitory. In this way, when he has sex with Helena in the future, he will have private space, which will be much more convenient.

Secondly, the subsidy given by the dormitory manager is more than working in the cafeteria.

Finally, he became a dormitory manager and needed to return to school early...which was exactly what he wanted.

So it is.

After hanging up the phone, Lip smiled and felt a lot more relaxed.

The temperature in Chicago in the summer is no joke.

Ding Xiu stood in the sun with a cigarette in her mouth, feeling a little overwhelmed.

But there is no way, when it is time to work, you still have to work.

Today it is today.

After nearly half a year of planning and preparation for the school project, we have finally completed all the procedures, and the land has been approved, and we are just waiting to start construction.

As the boss of this project, Ding Xiu has to show up.

It's hot, so be it. Ding Xiu exhaled a long puff of smoke, looked at the huge area of ​​land in front of him with some abandoned buildings on it, and walked over.

It is worth mentioning that he had been to this place several times before... and every time he came, he basically made trouble for others.

This is quite interesting.

Thinking of the past, Ding Xiu couldn't help but laugh.

Time flies.

After a few simple words, which was considered a groundbreaking ceremony, the task was completed and Ding Xiu left quickly.

Then the workers started to work.

The entire project is expected to be completed in two years.

After completion, this will be a comprehensive school with a kindergarten, elementary school and junior high school... From a certain perspective, this ghost place like the South District has long been abandoned by the Chicago City Hall, so there was no such place before.

Of course, there is no need to have it.

After all, this is the South District, how many people are willing to learn?

Sitting in the car and enjoying the air conditioning, Ding Xiu turned his head and looked at the construction site again.

It must be said that he really hopes that this project can change the lives of some children in the South District. (End of this chapter)
