Chapter 1 [Poverty is the original sin]

Suzhou City.

A young man and woman were sitting quietly in the corner of the cafe.

The man nodded from time to time with a smile, as if he was used to acting as a listener.

Wei Xiaoqing smiled with a pursed lips and said, "Sometimes I always feel that you are very strange, and I am passionate and cold at the same time."

She took a sip of the coffee in the cup. The two of them were the best classmates in college, and then joked: "We all doubt whether you have two personalities!"

Other emotions flashed in Chen Dong's eyes inadvertently, but this emotion was hidden very deeply by him.

He laughed and said, "Is that right?"

The wind outside was a little cool, and the weather seemed to be slowly starting to cool down.

Chen Dong narrowed his eyes and looked at this girl. He rarely posted on Moments, and just happened to post some psychology articles a few days ago.

It is probably because of my personality that I don’t like many friends.

But this girl is among the people who like her, so she has a certain affection for her.

At this moment, Wei Xiaoqing's phone suddenly rang.

She smiled at Chen Dong slightly, then picked up her phone to answer, and then responded with some surprise: "It turns out that it's five o'clock, I haven't gone to get the cake yet!"

After she hung up the phone, she said to Chen Dong apologetically: "I have to leave first. Today is my brother's birthday, and I ordered a cake and reminded me to get it."

Chen Dong nodded and expressed his understanding, "Okay!"

Only then did Wei Xiaoqing put his phone into his bag, packed up, stood up, turned around and left.

Chen Dong was about to look at her and said that he could send her off...

But his eyes soon saw the white BMW sedan outside parked on the side of the road, as if waiting for someone.

As expected.

Wei Xiaoqing pushed open the door of the cafe and walked towards the BMW sedan.

If he was right, the phone call just now should have been called by the person in the car.

A man was sitting in the driver's seat and was talking. Wei Xiaoqing walked around the passenger seat and opened the door and sat in.

Chen Dong didn't say anything, just watched the other party leave quietly.

He was a little grateful that he didn't speak just now.

Judging from the man's age is similar to his own, he probably should be Wei Xiaoqing's boyfriend.

Chen Dong glanced at the broken Mazda that he parked outside again. This 10-year-old car was so down and out.

He felt a little complicated and silently finished drinking the coffee in the cup.

Chen Dong stood up, pushed the door out, and walked towards his car.

This used car cost him a year's savings. The main reason I bought it was to go to Didi to make some money, otherwise it would be completely insufficient to support his life by just getting a salary.

The cool breeze gently blew across his cheeks, as if he had woken up a little.

It's just a little episode in life.

How to live, or how to live.

Back in the car.

He clicked on the mobile APP "Didi" and entered the driver's backstage. Taking advantage of the night, the orders would be slightly more.

After a moment, he immediately received a order to the city center.

It took about eight minutes.

Chen Dong's car came outside a three-star hotel and saw a group of people looking around at the entrance of the hotel, probably waiting for the car.

"Here's here."

"Isn't this a special car?"

"The license plate number is right, this one is it!"

The tall and thin Manager Han criticized his subordinates: "Why didn't you call a special car? Is that little money short of that?"

Mr. Li smiled embarrassedly and waved his hand: "It's okay, just go home!"

Everyone politely took Mr. Li into the car, and even advised Chen Dong three times to deliver it to his doorstep.

Manager Han said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I couldn't send you back in person."

Mr. Li was a little drunk and said with a smile: "It's okay, you guys should be careful too!"

With a bang!

The smell of wine came, and the guests got into the back seat of the car.

Chen Dong stepped on the accelerator and the car moved forward slowly.

After driving onto the highway, it seemed as if the whole world had become quiet, and all the surrounding situations were rapidly regressing.

Chen Dong's eyes twitched slightly, and he always felt a little uneasy.

For some reason, he felt that his condition was very poor today.

Less than five minutes.

The guests sitting in the back seat began to gaggle.

Suddenly, that unpleasant smell filled the entire car.

Chen Dong immediately opened the car window, then took out a tissue with one hand and handed it to the guest behind him.

Mr. Li took the tissue awkwardly and wiped it hard.

It seemed that after vomiting some alcohol, Mr. Li also woke up.

Because I walk faster on the highway and wind blows from the windows, the unintentional smell doesn't feel much.

Mr. Li moved his butt to a clean place on the other side. He said with apologies: "I'm sorry, I've got your car dirty."

After saying that, he touched his wallet, took out two hundred dollars in it, and handed it to the young man, "Go and wash it, this money is mine."

Chen Dong did not refuse and took the two hundred dollars directly.

As time passed, the car slowly got off the highway and was about to turn into the city.

Mr. Li felt a little bored, so he took the initiative to chat: "You are a part-time job, right?"

Chen Dong responded: "Yes!"

Mr. Li nodded slightly and smiled and said, "Young man, it's okay to suffer a little!"

Chen Dong didn't say anything. The other party was very straightforward when he paid him. I think the two hundred dollars were nothing to the other party.

Mr. Li was probably a little moved, and he said, "Sometimes, I think it's not easy for you. One month of hard work is not enough for me to make a meal."

As soon as these words fell, the car suddenly fell into silence.

Chen Dong suddenly saw it in his heart, and it felt like something had pierced in it, causing a slight pain.

The other party’s unintentional words and the chance encounter of an old classmate just now fully demonstrate the cruel reality.

Poverty is not a sin, it is original sin.

His mood fell to freezing point.

That unspeakable emotion was spreading, and his eyelids were beating desperately, as if something was about to roar and tear out from inside his body...

Chen Dong suddenly stopped the brakes and the whole car stopped quickly.
