Chapter 19 Small Business in High School
In October, early snow fell in New York, and it was the first snow this winter.
Unfortunately, I couldn't keep it. I saw a little white last night. I passed by and disappeared overnight. There was only the garbage in the alley, and some evidence of snowfall could be seen.
The cold wave that drove straight from the north came and went quickly, and the long winter that lasted for several months had begun.
The next day, I woke up early, at 6:40, stayed in bed for half an hour before I started dressing. While brushing my teeth, Ye Dongqing found that the sky was clear.
The broken house with a monthly rent of $550, and its living conditions are comparable to those of the slums. The sun cannot shine into his room, making it extremely cold.
To put it bluntly, his storage room was more comfortable than this apartment in the past. In order to make money from Old Sam and avoid running around, I guess I have to endure it.
After packing up the things, throwing a large bag of money into the trash can, covering it with waste paper, and then going out with peace of mind.
When I passed by the reception room, I saw that the old man was not there, so I put a box that I had packed last night on the table belonging to Old Sam, with a name. I had already checked it. The entrance included a stairway, etc. There was no surveillance in the entire building. Old Sam is old and cannot accept those new things. The most important thing is that he still expects to collect cash and evade taxes. How could he feel uncomfortable for himself? It is not fun to leave evidence.
The box contains the Patek Philippe watch, which not only converts the watch, but also helps the old man clean up for $30,000. It is a good deal that kills two birds with one stone.
He even thought of the reason. If Old Sam asked why it wasn't cash, he replied that the amount was too small and it was not worth his efforts, so he simply turned it into a whole and bought a famous watch, which was reasonable.
Waiting for buses at the bus stop, there is a bus that directly reaches the gate of Manhattan International Middle School, and it only takes about seven minutes on the way.
Of course, every time I encounter the most traffic congestion, I rarely arrive within ten minutes.
Ye Dongqing is one of the small group of "good students" with the best grades in the school. The teachers knew that he was going to prepare for the exam. It was not a big problem to be late occasionally. He sat in the back of the bus and looked leisurely, and he tinkered with the new mobile phone he just bought yesterday.
Recalling the entire middle school stage, there were not many things worth his nostalgia. In his previous life, good days only started when he went on a wrong path and had money in his pocket.
Although it is quite realistic, most of the time, happiness is indeed proportional to the amount of wealth. You won’t feel happy when you squeeze in a messy bus, and you won’t live in a dirty and messy apartment. This is why people need to make progress - they are not sufficient in material terms and are mostly difficult to feel satisfied mentally.
As soon as he sat in the classroom, he started reading. Most of the questions were sure of. He wanted to hug him temporarily and try to get a higher score.
Other students were laughing and joking, and the classroom was in a mess. Yellow people had the most faces, while the rest were black people. As victims of the "Race Integration Program", each class was forced to get a similar number of students from all ethnic groups, which is said to allow people of different skin colors to integrate.
In fact, it is useless. Black people have a circle, and Chinese people have also formed a circle. Students with yellow skin sit in the front row, and black students sit back consciously. As for white students and Latino students, they have an awkward position in the class and are very small.
In the past, Ye Dongqing didn't like to contact classmates. The day-based course arrangement was not the case. There was no "fixed class". Private schools were still in charge, and in this public garbage school, they didn't even have a class teacher.
Between each table, there was a walkway. Today he grabbed the third row by the window, sat down without saying a word, with a bit of a nerd temperament.
Judging from the appearance alone, it doesn’t look like a person who is bullied and can swallow his anger. He lacks parental care during his growth, so he is precocious and has a very calm attitude towards problems. Therefore, since he went to school until today, he has not been bullied. He is the type of person who actively marginalizes himself and is very low-key.
The bullying atmosphere is prevalent in American campuses. Students are often closed in toilets and bookcases. Teachers in poor schools are powerless even in class, so how can they meddle in other people's business?
The messy classroom doesn’t seem to have an atmosphere of cultivating talents at first glance.
The starting line has existed since everyone was born. Any American parent with some strength will choose to send his children to good schools, even if it is not private, and the top-ranked public schools are fine.
The two cousins and cousins of Ye Dongqing's aunt are both studying in ordinary private schools. If they are so biased, it would be strange if he has a good impression of his aunt and uncle.
Since childhood, he has understood that he can only rely on his own principles. If he is not reborn and develops according to the original historical trajectory, he should give up on himself next year and accidentally embark on the road of money laundering and making a living.
If you work hard once, you still choose to start a business in the gray industry. However, laundering money for ordinary landlords and laundering money for drug lords is different from laundering money for drug lords. The former has less risk and will not force yourself into a dilemma. As long as you are cautious enough, you can stop at any time.
Since he can help others launder money, it is of course easier to launder money for himself. The first pot of gold must be cleaned. Now he has only tens of thousands of dollars in his hands, and it is not as good as he needs to be careful. Putting aside the 30,000 dollars in cash, there are only more than 20,000 dollars in his account. Who would care about such a small amount of money?
...
Read the book carefully, time passes quite quickly.
Almost never heard what the teacher said, Ye Dongqing was immersed in the sea of questions and passed the key points of mathematics.
Every time I change classes, I have to change classrooms, and only a few minutes are left during this period. So students like to prepare textbooks for half a day in advance and walk around in their arms to avoid wasting time and then picking them up in the cabinet.
At noon, 50 minutes are set aside to rest, including lunch time, and school is usually early in the afternoon.
The courses in primary schools in the United States are very relaxed, and they suddenly become nervous after reaching the middle school stage. If you don’t want to go to college, you can certainly choose to give up on yourself and spend a few years leisurely. And students who are determined to enter university, especially those who are famous universities, have the same heavy learning tasks, and have nothing to do with the word "easy".
Buy a hamburger and climb the stairs to the rooftop.
The school is messy everywhere, with a small area, and a large number of students. The ratio of teachers and students is as high as 100% to 35. This is one of the poor performances of the school. Not only are students unwilling to come, but teachers with some ambitions and strength will not choose to stay in this public school.
I haven't done the questions for a long time, and my brain hurts if I do too much, so Ye Dongqing came to the rooftop to quietly.
I don’t know if it’s luck or bad, but I happened to see Miss Laura Fisher reaching out to take the money and stuffing a small package into the hands of a male student.
When he accidentally saw this campus transaction, Laura's eyes also remained on Ye Dongqing...
