Buy a house with 30,000 yuan and live in a small town

Chapter 354 Turns out to be an old friend

Richard was walking aimlessly on the street. All he had left now was his mobile phone.

He bought this phone many years ago. After using it for a while, he accidentally broke the screen. He originally wanted to get it repaired, but a new model came out from a fruit company, so he immediately went to buy a new one. This old one was thrown into the drawer of the bedside table and forgotten by him.

Before the law enforcement officers came to seize it today, he searched everywhere in the room to see if he could find some of the things he had placed casually. Fortunately, Lin Linzongzong found more than a hundred dollars and this old mobile phone.

When Richard was leaving the house, he was suddenly stopped by the head of the law enforcement officers.

The leader casually pointed at a young policeman: "Search him to make sure he didn't take anything out."

The young policeman touched the mobile phone in the inner pocket of Richard's coat. Richard panicked and looked at him with pleading eyes. He immediately took out more than a hundred knives from the other pocket and stuffed it into the pocket under the cover of his body. In his hand.

The young policeman hesitated for two seconds, pushed the money back to Richard, and left his cell phone with him. After continuing to search, he loudly said to the inside: "Sir, there is nothing."

The leader waved his hand and Richard was let go.

He walked for a long time and finally sat on a bench in front of a shop on the street, thinking about what to do next.

Richard is an orphan. Along the way, he changed his destiny almost entirely by going to college on his own. He got a great job, made a lot of money, and lived a prosperous life.

Suddenly, he fell from the clouds, and he couldn't even figure out what the trigger of this incident was, and what was the crux of Edwin's targeting of him.

Things are already like this, and there is no use thinking about it anymore.

Richard's character has always had such a positive side. When he was poor, he was penniless and could attend school all day long by drinking cold water when he was hungry.

"The way to live rich is to be rich, and the way to be poor is to be poor." Richard held a handful of banknotes in his pocket and said to himself, "Just treat me as a game player and start from scratch."

"No, not starting from scratch," he said with a smile, "I still have more than a hundred and a mobile phone."

Next, he has to apply for a phone card, and then find a job that can make a living.

I'm afraid he will never be able to work in the gaming industry again, not because of the "competition agreement" - he doesn't have this thing, because it is illegal in the state where he lives - but because he loses the lawsuit one after another. , his personal reputation has hit rock bottom. Which company would dare to want him?

He thought about going to a convenience store, supermarket, or restaurant, anywhere for any job, to maintain the basic life first before talking about it later.

After making a plan, he took action immediately. Richard patted his thigh, stood up and continued walking forward.

While waiting at the traffic light on the street corner, I suddenly heard someone calling me.

Richard knew who it was without looking back, and he would never forget Edwin's disgusting voice.

When the light turned green, Richard followed the crowd and walked onto the zebra crossing.

Edwin followed him: "I know you definitely don't want to ignore me. Yes, I'm here to make a winner's statement to you."

Richard pretended not to hear.

Edwin said to himself: "I originally wanted to send you in, but after thinking about it carefully, what's the point of being in jail? There is food, drink, and a place to sleep with shelter from the wind and rain. It's so comfortable. , not suitable for you." Just after walking across the zebra crossing and stepping onto the sidewalk, Richard turned and looked at him: "I knew it was you!"

Edwin laughed.

Richard still couldn't help but ask: "What's the grudge between you and me? Is it worth such a big fight?"

"Haha, you finally asked." Edwin pointed to a coffee shop on the roadside, "Let's go, I'll buy you a drink. After all, you can't even afford a sugar cube now."

Edwin not only ordered a cup of coffee for Richard, but also ordered him a piece of cake: "Eat, I believe you haven't eaten breakfast yet, and you haven't found anything for lunch and dinner. This should be your only meal today. Ah, I am so, so kind-hearted.”

Richard happened to be hungry, so he took a sip of coffee, picked up his fork and ate the cake.

Edwin laughed again: "You really haven't changed at all. You can eat whatever anyone gives you."

Richard nodded, yes, he had loaded up the files and started over again, so he simply regarded himself as the boy in his memory again, without any sense of humiliation at all.

As he thought this, the fork that was brought to his mouth suddenly stopped and fell back into the plate, and he looked at Edwin's features carefully.

He thought, what does this mean? Did they ever know each other?

But Richard didn't see any familiar feeling on Edwin's face, so he asked, "Who are you?"

Edwin still kept smiling: "It's not your fault, really. After all, I have changed a lot compared to myself in high school."

The floodgates of memories were instantly opened by the word "high school". Richard looked at Edwin again, but still couldn't tell which "old friend" he was.

"I think you must remember the fat man sitting at the back of the classroom." Edwin was too lazy to give any more reminders. His time was precious now, and it was already difficult to spare such a moment to see Richard's miserable condition. He had to hurry up Click to kill him, and then go back to make money, "That's me."

"Wow!" Richard exclaimed, "Then you have changed so much! I didn't recognize you even once."

He relaxed immediately and took a bite of the cake, but felt something was wrong: "We were comrades in arms back then, so it stands to reason that we should have friendship..."

"Shut up!" Edwin obviously didn't agree with Richard's statement, and the word "comrade" simply made him feel sick to his stomach. "Who cares!"

Richard was so startled by his sudden rage that he leaned back, pulled the cake plate over, held it in his hand, and continued eating.

When Edwin saw his appearance, he became even more angry: "You bullshit comrade! Who are your comrades! If it weren't for you, those people wouldn't have bullied me even more!"

As a student, there are always people who are bullied - Richard was one of them in high school.

According to the nuns at the orphanage, he was thrown there as soon as he was born. He doesn’t know who his mother is, let alone his father.

He was adopted for the first time when he was five years old. When he graduated from elementary school, the couple accidentally went bankrupt because of futures and both committed suicide. He returned to the orphanage.

Not long after, another couple took him away. But the couple later fell in love with extreme sports. When he was a freshman in high school, they went free climbing and both fell off a cliff.

They played many sports, so most of their money was spent on travel and equipment. The only thing of value left to Richard was the half-new apartment.
