Chapter 37 - : You never know how coincidence the world is (1/2)
After Amy goes out, I sit in the room for a while and take out all my things. I throw the clothes and stuff over. Anyway, Amy would pack them up.
I take the ring in my hand and look at it.
The more I think about these days, the more I feel weird. Good lucks and bad lucks come and go, even without a steady day. That's really weird!
Is it true that the ring is still working even if I don't wear it?
Suddenly I remember the so-called customer survey form that the man had given me. I take it out and look at it carefully for a while. It is nothing more than a simple customer survey.
For example, are you satisfied with the product?
Are you satisfied with the price?
After wearing, does your body have any discomfort?
To my surprise, the questionnaire also lists some subtle items, such as how much raise of the fortune, whether the attractiveness of the opposite sex has improved, whether there are any opportunities for career development, and so on.
However, the measurer device, which I am the most concerning about, still does not mention.
There is also an e-mail address below, because the survey form needs to be sent by e-mail.
I think for a while, and I go to the nearest computer market to buy a laptop immediately while the time is still early. And I use their scanner to scan the questionnaire into a file and save it in my new laptop.
After running back home, I connect to the Internet immediately, fill the form, and add a question of how to purchase the formal products. Then I send the mail out.
To tell the truth, I can't afford the price of their formal products yet. I just want to find a way to get in touch with them.
After sending the email, I stare at the computer screen. Apparently I'm expecting an immediate response. But unfortunately there isn't. I have stared until my eyes are feeling sour, and there is still no any response. I have to get up and go to the kitchen to find food.
I look around and suddenly find a cockroach in the corner of the kitchen. Then I pick up a slipper and fight with it for a long time. I chase it all the way from the kitchen to the bathroom, and it was finally killed, but I am also tired, gasping, and feel a little lost.
I am sitting on the toilet, handing a slipper, and considering.
What am I doing?
The question is a little too profound, so I pass it, and the next question is, what should I do next?
I have to face a reality: I have lost my job.
No matter Juan was by heart or not, I have lost my job.
Of course, I still have quite a lot of money on hand. My savings account has thirty to forty thousand. And there is a cheque left by Juan. I have checked it, there are eight hundred thousands. These money is not too much, but it is enough to buy a house in our city. Just make a stable living, eating and waiting for death every day. Such an amount can keep me living like this for at least ten years.
Oh, by the way, company has paid me half a year's salary for the compensation to fire me. Ken said it's already in my account, so there should be more than twenty thousands more.
Also, the lottery prize is still on my hand, that's two hundred thousand.
Well, I seem to be quite rich.
But the eight hundred thousand which Juan gave me. I don't want to use it at all. I respect him is one thing, but let me take his money to eat and be waiting for death every day, I'm not able to afford it!
I Little 5 is not such a person.
As for the lottery prize, that two hundred thousand, I said all for Didi, no matter she wants or no. I'm a man, and if I have said, it must be given to her.
So I have fifty to sixty thousand on hand. These are my personal savings.
”Not bad, fifty to sixty thousand, it's enough for me to happy for a whole year!” I loll on the toilet, but in a bit of a vacant mind.
The feeling is empty, but it is hard to describe either.
I Little 5, I have hands and feet, will I starve to death?
Thinking here, I suddenly feel the truth dawns on me in a flash, and take out a cigarette to light it. I'm just sitting on the toilet and smoking.
After a rest, a mind is suddenly flashing in my mind. Should I call Didi?
I've been in the hospital these days, and the phone has been shut down. So I haven't been in touch with her for a few days. I don't know whether this simple and lovely girl would be thinking of me.
I didn't contact anyone previously, even wood, Azle and Jojo. I noticed none of them.
When people are in bad luck, they would always be thinking of their good friends. This is probably human universality.
I take out my phone to call Azle: ”I am in a bad mood and come out to drink with me.”
There is a gasping voice on the other end of the phone. Azle says: ”I'm dating with someone. No time!”
Then I call Jojo. Phone has been hanged up when it is just connected. Half a minute later, there is a text message comes: ”I'm dating with someone. No time!”
Looking at the sky outside, it's evening but not dark yet. These two beasts are busy with this kind of thing in the daytime…
Then I call Wood, but when the phone is connecting, I realized: Come on, this is wood! It's better to talk to myself than to chat with him.
At that time, the telephone is connected, and I hang it up before speak.
I sigh and finally decide to call Didi.
To tell the truth, I really don't want to see her at the moment.
Maybe this is men's common fault. When in the bad time, they do not want to let their favorite women see.
Didi's phone is quickly connected.
”Hello… Brother Little 5?” Didi's voice on the other end of the phone is still so soft and pleasant, but there are some noises around, and it seems to be a very noisy environment.
”Well.” I respond with a sudden unexplained nervousness, as if not knowing what to say, hesitating for a moment, ”What are you doing?”
”I am working.” The voice is very low, ”You just wait a minute. I'll talk to you later.”
Then the phone is hung up, I am stunned for a minute, then my phone is ringing again, the other end of the phone is quiet, and her voice is clear: ”Brother Little 5, I'm sorry, I am at work. Company forbade us to call when we are working. I just find an excuse and running out to make this call now.”
