Translator: Lionwwang Editor: Lionwwang
It costs almost one thousand dollars to buy a complete set of products. Not lamp can pay so much money on the spot. But it’s OK. They can let you take your time.
You don’t have that much money now? Simple! You can live in this warm family first, and then you can let your family transfer money here!
Don’t know when the obscene man has disappeared. Instead, two other cheaters come. In fact, I can see that they were good people, but the assimilated poor people. They are all looking dish-colored and taking us out of the small building through the back door.
This is obviously a southern building poor residential area, and the buildings here are all old. Behind it are many illegal buildings. All the simple sheds one by one, like psoriasis.
I see dozens of people are wandering around here, with muddy eyes but a little crazy, like wolves eager eating human beings, patrolling the new group.
We are taken into a low adobe house. Our new arrivals are deliberately separated. Only Dorra follows me closely. I have a cold look all my face. Someone is tring to separate Dprra from me, but when I am staring him coldly, he just retreats.
“This is our staff dormitory! It’s also a big family where all the brothers and sisters live!” A woman of about forty comes over enthusiastically to help me carry my luggage. I stop her, carry my bag to walk in with Dorra. Dorra is apparently scared. She is closing to me and whispering: “Are we really going to stay here?”
I shake my head and motion her not to speak.
The room is a shanty. Even the word crude is not enough to describe here.
There are only two rooms here. One for men and another one for women. There are only wooden beds, and nothing else.
I see there are some coal stoves outside some houses, burning honeycomb coal and smoking heavily.
“They are cooking.” The cheater who’s leading the way is smiling kindly, “When enter our big family, brothers and sisters take care of each other!”
Then he introduces one by one that people here are managed by piece. There are several people in a house. The senior cheaters, middle-level cheaters, junior cheaters and lamps are mixed up. The senior cheater acts as the leader. The people below should listen to the leader’s words and they must not refuse!
In their words: “It’s tempering! Cultivate your spirit of hard work! The harder you work, the more resilient you will be on the road to success in the future!”
Then he is immediately instilling a whole set of theories into me. First of all, he stresses that everyone is now a family, like brothers and sisters, are close comrades in arms on the road to wealth. Then he says that the whole family should be under unified management. Now we are still in the training stage, we need to accept the leader’s training. We need to hand over our ID card, mobile phone and other personal items first.
“For the sake of unified management.” He puts aside others, deliberately lowers his voice to say to me, “Young man, I am for your good. You think that so many people in the dormitory, what if your valuables are lost? I represent the company to help you keep it all together!”
I reply lightly: “No, I keep my things myself.”
Then no matter how he says, I just look at him coldly. The cheater is helpless but can only go. After a while, there are three cheaters come around me to brainwash me. It’s nothing but of I need to respect the leadership, need to obey management first, to understand that the current training is to build the foundation for future success! Later, I’m getting impatient, go straight to the corner, pick up a brick from the ground, throw in front of them, and say coldly: “I’m here to make a fortune, not to be managed! Whoever keeps talking nonsense, I won’t be polite anymore!”
After that, I raise my hand and knead it into a fist. I hit it with one punch, and the brick is broken into four pieces immediately.
These cheaters dare not to speak anymore, all retreat.
In fact, I understand that they will not force you at first. They won’t show their ferocity until they’ve emptied all your money. Moreover, I am not afraid of it!
Although the place is curde, but it is really safe, just like a big rat’s nest.
Originally, I was curious about why these people all look like malnourished. I finally understand when we have lunch.
We have boiled cabbage and very hard rice. Dorra frowns all the time and can’t eat after a few bites. The cheaters next are eating with relish. And they have been indoctrinating us with the spirit of hardship all the time.
“If you eat a little bitterness now, you will taste ten times sweetness in the future!” What surprises me is that when they are saying these words, the cheaters are very sincere, as if they really believe in this idea!
