Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

From Dongguan to Guangxi Beihai was a very long journey.

Wang Erhai and Yang Xiaoxiong, carrying heavy luggage bags, traveled all the way by long-distance bus.

They set off in the morning and arrived in Beihai in the afternoon.

Upon arriving at Beihai Bus Station, Yang Xiaoxiong's childhood friend from the same village came to meet them, accompanied by several people.

Yang Xiaoxiong's childhood friend from the same village was named Yang Jiafeng, of medium height, ordinary appearance, sporting a non-mainstream side-swept fringe hairstyle.

When Wang Erhai saw Yang Jiafeng, he felt Yang Jiafeng was a bit strange; his subconscious told him something was off, but he didn't know what was off.

After all, he was just a youngster newly out into the world with not a bit of social experience; how could he know what the complexity of society and the treachery of human hearts meant?

"Xiaoxiong, you've finally come! Come with me to our company! I guarantee you'll make big money!"

Yang Jiafeng smiled as he came forward to meet them.

He was very eager to take Yang Xiaoxiong and Wang Erhai away.

Yang Xiaoxiong had little guard against this childhood friend from the same village, and he smiled in response:

"Okay, let's go now!"

Yang Jiafeng introduced the few people behind him to Yang Xiaoxiong and Wang Erhai; they were colleagues from the 1040 Project, and they had come together to take them to the company.

They had even specially brought a minivan.

Several people got off the long-distance bus together and got on the minivan.

In the car, Yang Jiafeng kept boasting about how much money he could make:

"You don't know, I make a lot of money doing this job now; last month I made tens of thousands!"

Yang Xiaoxiong immediately looked envious:

"Really? That's too awesome!"

Wang Erhai frowned slightly, because he noticed that after the minivan left the bus station, it was leaving the city center area.

"Where are we going?"

Wang Erhai asked weakly.

"To the company! Didn't I just say that?"

Yang Jiafeng answered like that.

Wang Erhai could only say "oh," and then didn't dare say anything else.

But after a while, he asked again:

"By the way, what does your company do?"

"We do the 1040 Project!" Yang Jiafeng answered righteously, with a somewhat impatient tone.

"I mean, what is the 1040 Project?"

Wang Erhai asked.

"The 1040 Project means making everyone in our company earn 10.4 million; it's a moneymaking sunshine project supported by state funds, not so easy to join; even though you've come, you still have to pass an assessment to join, and if you don't pass, you'll have to find work elsewhere."

A strange woman beside them answered like that.

She was one of the colleagues Yang Jiafeng had brought, and they all called her Xiao Li.

Xiao Li wore a white shirt with a black bodycon skirt, had a cold appearance, was quite pretty, and looked very professional.

Wang Erhai felt this wasn't reliable in his heart, but he couldn't say anything.

Yang Xiaoxiong had already immersed himself in the fantasy of making money, with a smile on his face:

"Can everyone in the company earn 10.4 million? If I could earn 10.4 million, that would be great!"

Yang Jiafeng smiled and said:

"Xiaoxiong, rest assured, one day you will definitely be able to earn that much money!"

Just then, Xiao Li suddenly said to Wang Erhai and Yang Xiaoxiong:

"We're almost at the company; give me your ID cards, I need to register your ID cards; when we get to the company, I'll arrange interviews for you as soon as possible."

Yang Xiaoxiong didn't think much and directly took out his ID card to give to Xiao Li.

Although Wang Erhai hesitated in his heart, he eventually handed over his ID card.

Soon, the minivan arrived at a dilapidated building in the suburbs of Beihai City.

Wang Erhai got off the car, looking surprised, and couldn't help but blurt out:

"With such a dilapidated office location, can they really earn 10.4 million?"

Xiao Li said seriously:

"We are a confidential unit; the company address we chose naturally can't be too showy; if you don't believe me, you can ask your fellow villager; your fellow villager wouldn't deceive you, right?"

Wang Erhai gave a dry laugh, glanced at Yang Jiafeng, and couldn't help muttering:

"He's not my fellow villager."

Then he secretly asked Yang Xiaoxiong:

"Is this childhood friend of yours from the same village reliable or not?"

Yang Xiaoxiong said confidently:

"Rest assured, definitely reliable; before, we went swimming in the river together, he almost drowned, and I saved him; he couldn't possibly screw me over!"

The reason Yang Xiaoxiong trusted Yang Jiafeng so much was because he had saved Yang Jiafeng; he owed Yang Jiafeng a life-saving debt. Under normal circumstances, anyone with a bit of conscience wouldn't harm their own benefactor.

So this matter can't be blamed on Yang Xiaoxiong being brainless; he truly didn't expect that Yang Jiafeng would even deceive him.

With Yang Xiaoxiong saying this, the suspicion Wang Erhai had just felt sank back down secretly.

So the two of them followed along and entered the dilapidated building before them.

Just as they entered the building.

Someone stopped Wang Erhai and Yang Xiaoxiong:

"Company regulations prohibit bringing any electronics inside to prevent leaks."

They wanted Wang Erhai and Yang Xiaoxiong to hand over their mobile phones.

Even Yang Xiaoxiong felt something was off now.

But at this moment, Yang Jiafeng beside them, as well as several other colleagues, all handed over their phones one after another, letting the front desk keep them.

Yang Xiaoxiong's suspicion was instantly dispelled again.

Wang Erhai actually was unwilling to hand over his phone.

If something happened, the phone was his only way to contact the outside world.

Most importantly, this phone was the first mobile phone in his life; he cherished it immensely — what if he lost it?

But unable to withstand those people's various persuasions, in the end he still handed over the phone.

It wasn't over yet; after handing over the phones, they were also searched all over by those people.

Confirming there were no more electronics on them, only then did they let them in.

Facing such strict security checks, Yang Xiaoxiong wore a smile and said quietly to Wang Erhai:

"I reckon this really is a classified unit; maybe we really can make big money — looks like we've really struck dogshit luck this time!"

Yang Xiaoxiong also exclaimed:

"It's thanks to me saving Yang Jiafeng's life back then; otherwise he wouldn't be bringing me to make big money now. What's this called? This is called good deeds bring good returns!"

Yang Xiaoxiong was still immersed in the fantasy of making big money soon.

But what happened next directly left them dumbfounded.

Xiao Li said she would take them separately for interviews.

As a result, the two were brought to two different small rooms.

Sitting in the room was the so-called interviewer.

The interviewer for Wang Erhai was a fierce-looking man who didn't look like state secrets personnel at all — instead he looked like an underworld thug.

The first interview question he gave Wang Erhai was:

"Call your family and have them send you ten thousand yuan; only by completing this task can you pass the first round of interviews."
