1029 Financial Freedom (1/2)

Jin Er desperately pushed the blame onto Good-For-Nothing. He stressed that there wasn't a problem with his method of training, but instead there was a problem with the dog itself. Since Good-For-Nothing wasn't able to speak, it had no other option but to bear the blame.

In short, man was afraid of choosing the wrong dog, while a woman was afraid of marrying the wrong man. It seemed as though Jin Er had chosen the wrong dog.

Snowy said a few good words for him, because she did see Jin Er trying to train his dog several times. But it was unclear if his training method was effective. Regardless, he did work really hard.

Blackie reluctantly accepted his explanation, but still said with a sigh, ”Old Jin, because she's helping you, I'll let you off today… I'll remember this, though, and get you back later on.”

Jin Er coughed and said softly, ”This… in your WeChat moments, can you help me out by putting in a few good words…?”

Blackie glared at him. ”To let you cheat more people?”

”I didn't mean it like that… I'm just a person who cares about his reputation…” Jin Er said various things and hoped that the Blackie would not expose him in his WeChat Moments.

”Let's put this aside. What should I do now? I came all the way just for nothing!” Blackie slammed his hand down on the hood of his car, and the sound startled Good-For-Nothing. When Blackie saw Good-For-Nothing jump because of the sound, he was even more disappointed.

”No, no, do you know why I had Snowy stay? It was to help you! So you have to understand my efforts…” Jin Er said as he pointed to Snowy.

When Snowy heard Jin Er bring her into the conversation, she was even more curious. What kind of help could she give?

Blackie also looked at Snowy doubtfully. He thought to himself that the little girl looked soft and weak… She was an expert dog tamer? Or, since she was living in such a luxurious villa area, could it be that her father owned a pet farm, so she knew a lot about pets?

Jin Er said, ”Let's stop talking in riddles. Look, she's already confused… Blackie, why don't you tell Snowy why you're here? Then she would understand.”

”Okay…” Blackie had no other option. He lit a cigarette and took a deep puff. Blackie was indeed Jin Er's university classmate.

His situation was similar to Jin Er's. After leaving school and entering society, Blackie did well in the business world. He did not encounter any major setbacks and his career was booming.

Blackie himself had no great ambition. He had a unique understanding and pursuit of life. After entering his thirties and forties, he disregarded the opposition of everyone around him, and resolutely sold the company he founded. From that, he gained complete financial freedom and the freedom of life. After he faded out of the business world, he no longer remained in contact with his former business partners. He only remained in contact with a few close friends, and Jin Er was one of them.

After realizing his financial freedom, he didn't buy a yacht or a sports car like other rich people. Instead, he began to exercise and systematically learn extreme sports such as diving, rock climbing, and rafting. After taking a year or two to master them, he did something that left others stunned: He went to survive alone in the wild.

Blackie said that surviving alone in the wild was not for show, nor was it suicide. People assumed that he had a lot of time on his hands so he wanted to challenge himself, but that was not the case. He did it because he wanted to experience life in the loneliness of the woods, and to stimulate his full potential by confronting nature. He wanted to experience life.

Few people understood him, because most people couldn't reach his level of wealth and freedom. They were still working hard for a living.

There were also those that had achieved financial freedom, but even with the money they had, they still wanted to make more money––not only to ensure that their children didn't have to worry about money, but so their grandchildren wouldn't have to, either. Those were the people who couldn't understand him.
