Chapter 6 Do You Believe in Luck

  The tall and thin man has already assumed a standard corporate white collar business negotiation posture: ''Mr. Chen Yang, first of all, I need to introduce you, our company's business is not the main housing rental ...... You do not have to stand up in a hurry, I said, the house is indeed there, and the conditions will certainly make you satisfied . However, before renting the house, I need to explain a few things to you."   "First of all, as I said earlier, our company's main business item is not real estate, but another kind of product. To put it simply, as long as you purchase this kind of product from our company, then you will become a member of our company, and the benefits of our company's members are very good, which include a lot of preferential services, and of course, the housing that you requested can also be counted among the member's benefits, and everything can be negotiated ......"   My brain was a little confused for a moment, and I swallowed hard, "Wait ...... wait ...... what do you mean ...... " I tried to digest what he had just said, "You mean, I only need to buy one of your products to become a member, and you will help me solve the housing problem? What kind of organization are you ...... you? Now that the state civil servants don't share their houses, your members still manage the housing problem? You ...... "I looked at him wistfully, "You're not Al Qaeda developing members in China, are you?"   "Of course not." The tall and thin man replied to me with a smile, "Our company's business program is environmentally friendly and harmless, and its purpose is to benefit society and serve the general public, it's definitely not what you call a terrorist organization."   Then, he suddenly moved out a huge wooden box from under the table. It scared me even more!   Seeing ghosts again!   I saw it clearly just now! Under the table was empty, there was nothing! Such a big box, where did he take it out from?   Ignoring my surprised expression, the tall and thin man has opened the first layer of the box, which is a slightly smaller box, and then opened the second layer, followed by the third layer, the fourth layer ......   Seeing him open one small one model of the box from the box, I simply have some feeling of wanting to collapse, fortunately, he finally also sighed, smiled bitterly as if talking to himself, said, "Hey, I can't imagine that I'm really unlucky, actually divided into such a low level of the membership quota."   The tall and thin man had already taken out a shiny silver object from the small box in his hand and pinched it at his fingertips, looking at me with a smirk and introducing it quickly in an extremely professional tone, "Please see, this is our company's main product, which we call the Luck Adjustment Device. Wearing it, you will be able to control your life to your heart's content, making your life full of beauty from now on! Do you want to get your dream career? Do you want to struggle less for thirty years? Do you want to marry the beautiful woman you've been admiring for a long time? Do you want to become the center of attention? Wearing our products, all your dreams will come true!"   Probably he was so excited and forgetful that he didn't even notice when he sprayed spittle on my face.   I wiped it on my face with all my might, and finally affirmed one thing: I had met a liar.   This guy's appearance is really like a friend of mine who is a pyramid scheme!   A look like he's gone off the deep end.   I was no longer prepared to talk nonsense with him, turned around and walked towards the rooftop's exit.   But just two steps out, the tall and thin man behind me suddenly said something in a loud voice.   Just such a sentence, I actually stopped my footsteps ......   Because, this asshole said in a snarky tone, "Chen Yang, didn't your parents teach you to respect others when they speak?"   Hearing these words, a fire rose up in my heart!   These words instantly pierced the hardest place in my heart!   I grew up with both my parents dead, and it is true that I did not have parents to educate me! For this reason I have often been taunted by others during my student career. But when I learned martial arts, no one dared to say such similar words to my face anymore!   Back then, ever since a guy said such words and had his mouth full of teeth knocked out by my fist, no one dared to taunt me with such words!   I had quickly turned around and walked towards him, clenching my fist on one side, ready to similarly knock out his incisors!   "Wait ...... wait ......" the tall and thin man shook his hand repeatedly, his body jumped up quickly to retreat backward: "Look, don't come over and try to hit me! ...... I've already double checked, I don't have any blood today, I won't be hit, if you don't want to hurt yourself, you'd better not do it."   I bowed my body and scurried to his side, grabbing him by the top collar and lifting him up, striding to the edge of the rooftop and reaching out.   The guy immediately screamed a ghostly scream, he screamed as if he were a wildcat purring in the middle of the night in the summer, I had never imagined in my life that a man could scream out a sound that was actually harsher and higher decibel than a woman's!   "You idiot, put me down! I'm afraid of heights!!!" He seemed to hold my arm like an octopus, and his two legs desperately stomped around as if he were a frog.   "Didn't you say you counted that there would be no bloodshed today? Then have you counted whether you will fall down the stairs today?" I looked at him coldly.   He opened a pair of soybean sized eyes, blinking and blinking to look at me, pitifully said, "This ...... I haven't counted, it shouldn't be." He didn't dare to look down, and even begged, "Okay, please put me down, I really have fear of heights. I'm not afraid of you throwing me down, because I know you won't ...... but I'm afraid I'll be scared out of my heart by you, I have a very serious heart disease ...... I counted today I don't have any blood, but I can't guarantee that I won't have a heart attack and die! ...... Heart attacks are bloodless!"   This man is a madman.   This is the first thought that popped into my head. I'm not a nice person, but I'm not going to take offense at a crazy person just yet.   Even the law forgives when a psycho commits an offense.   Besides, he had only taunted me.   I put him down, stared at him, and said coldly, "Look, I don't care what you are, I'm not interested in what you're trying to sell me, and now I'm leaving."   I've decided to leave, and I've decided that when I get back I'm going to immediately find the real estate agent who referred me here and punch his front teeth out!   "Don't you wish to improve your luck?" The tall, skinny guy in the back added pathetically.   I grunted and looked back at him, "I've heard the saying that whatever you want, you have to pay for it! I believe that there is no good thing in this world for no reason ...... Not to mention, what you said, I don t believe a word of it. What changing luck, if you can change a person's luck, then why don't you just go be God."   "How much you want to get, how much you have to pay ......" The tall thin man suddenly revealed a mysterious smile, "Mr. Chen Yang ...... please don't be in a hurry first. Can you please answer me a question first ......" The tall thin man looked at me and asked with a smile, "Do you believe that such a thing as 'luck' exists in this world? "   Luck?   I was stunned for a moment, then frowned, "Could it be that you are a member of some religion sent to develop a missionary business? Then I regret to tell you that I am an atheist, I don't believe in any religion, I only believe in myself."   "Shine on!" The tall and thin man snapped his fingers and laughed, "I similarly don't believe in any religion, and I also believe that there are no gods in this world. But what I said about something like luck, it does exist - although this kind of thing we can't see or touch."   I still looked disbelieving, "How can something that can't be seen or touched exist?"   "Of course it exists!" The tall, thin man met my gaze and said firmly, "Air! Isn't it also invisible? But everyone knows that air exists! It's common sense!"
