Chapter 638: Two Stories 6663

Boni lay on the bed looking at his mother. His mother actually didn't have much education, but life taught her how to face this world.

Frankness is not necessarily the best choice.

But it is definitely not the worst.

"I know, Mom," he made a decision.

The next morning, he didn't even arrange work, just let people do as usual, and then took his best friend Karl to the Imperial District.

Standing in front of that magnificent building, Boni didn't have his attention attracted by it as before, but was thinking about what might happen next.

On the contrary, Karl, like every time he came before, looked at this luxurious building in amazement, looking at it as if he saw a vault, seeing countless wealth.

"One day, I will also have such a big house!" he clenched his fists and thought in his heart.

He and Boni grew up together, both were poor, and after receiving the most basic education, they entered society and started working.

Don't look at them as only sixteen or seventeen years old, in fact, they have been working outside for two or three years.

Poor people, whether they are poor people in the Federation, poor people in Dantela, poor people in the Empire, or poor people in Slader, have a very hard life.

Exploitation, oppression, the whole society is like a huge lead block pressing people so they can't breathe.

Before the war broke out, his life was muddled, until he fled to the Federation, saw the life of debauchery here, and heard stories of ordinary people who could change their destiny.

A seed fell into his heart, and under the irrigation of desire, it quietly took root and sprouted.

The two walked on the mirror-like marble mosaic floor, both looking a bit inferior. They were out of place with the decoration here and with those gentlemen who looked at them with a smile but not a smile in formal wear!

They were like clowns, making themselves wish they could hide in the shadows.

Accompanied by the secretary's inquiry, the heavy solid wood door was pushed open. The two were allowed to enter. They walked into the office, and Lans let them sit opposite him and let the secretary bring them coffee.

"I thought your work would take some time to finish," Lans said, which was actually a sentence with a slight warning or reminder.

He already knew who that bastard was. Originally, his purpose was to let Boni inquire, but the result was that he knew first.

He wanted to remind Boni who is the Boss and who is the employee.

Boni didn't seem to understand the meaning of this sentence. His expression had some subtle, continuous changes.

Embarrassment, hesitation, impulse, reason...

Many emotions appeared alternately. Finally, he gathered his courage and said softly, "Mr. Lans, I have some words... I want to chat with you."

"Stories!" Lans smiled and took a cigarette from the cigarette case, and signaled them to do as they pleased, "I like stories, I hope this story can please me."

"Say it, say what you want to say."

Boni didn't take a cigarette, but Karl took one. He couldn't bear to buy such expensive cigarettes.

When he lit the cigarette with the desktop lighter, the mellow taste was definitely a different enjoyment from the two-cent pack in his pocket.

He squinted his eyes comfortably, as if he were in the clouds!

Of course, this was just his own imagination, and it wasn't that magical.

Boni let out a heavy breath, "Last time you asked me to investigate the gentleman who organized the gathering, I found him. His name is Hope Wright."

Lans nodded. He knew all these, and he signaled Boni to continue.

"I learned about the deeds of this Mr. Wright. He has been committed to... helping refugees solve difficulties, found many charitable organizations, and also brought a lot of materials and medicines."

"I don't know how I should say it. He hopes to attract people's attention to the refugee group, let more people help us, and let us stay away from hunger and disease."

He slightly increased his tone, "Mr. Lans, Mr. Wright is also a good person."

"Finished?", Lans asked.

This question made Boni not react for a while, but he still nodded quickly, "Yes... no, I don't know how to say it, I think... he is a good person, we shouldn't hurt him."

Lans puffed out a smoke, nodded noncommittally, and after a few seconds, asked, "What does this have to do with me?"

"Sorry?", Boni thought he didn't hear clearly, "You mean..."

Lans emphasized again, "Whether he is a good person or a bad person, what does it have to do with me?"

"I only need his name, his information. As for whether he is a good person, who he helped, who he hurt, what does it have to do with me?"

"Just like whatever I plan to do, what does it have to do with you?"

He shook his head and said, "Boni, you are a good young man, you have some qualities I appreciate. You don't bow to life, I appreciate you very much."

"I appreciate you, so I gave you a chance, not the chance life gave you."

"It will only constantly look for your weaknesses and then try to defeat you."

"The things I asked you to do, you didn't do well, I am very disappointed."

He shook his head, "Although I still appreciate your noble qualities very much, obviously, we are not on the same channel."

"I have lost confidence in our subsequent cooperation. You might be able to go to that... Wright?"

"Go to his side to find a job, his work should be able to suit your appetite."

"You are fired."

"Sorry."

Actually, it can't be said to be very disappointed. A young man who hasn't been beaten to despair by society, still has some dreams and pursuits in his heart, this is quite normal.

Although Boni was a bit uncomfortable and hard to accept, he still respected Lans's decision, "Sorry, Mr. Lans."

Lans shook his head, "You don't have to be sorry for me. I hope you won't regret your decision in the future."

"I will let Mero settle your salary. If you encounter any trouble, you can come to me."

"Although you no longer work for me, we are still friends."

Boni nodded, "Sorry... and thank you."

Karl looked at everything that happened in a daze. Why is it so fast?

He saw Boni stand up. At this time, he couldn't care about continuing to show his shock, and he also stood up closely.

Afterwards, the two said goodbye to Lans and left the office.

The moment he walked out of the office, Karl pushed Boni, "Are you crazy?"

Boni shook his head, staggered a few steps, found his center of gravity again, and continued to walk outside.

Karl chased a few steps, "You lost this job, do you know what it means?"

"It means we lost our income, and we have to be like the past, like a wild dog looking for food on the street!"

"Sorry, not one, it's a group, you, me, and them!"

Boni quickened his pace. He didn't want to talk about this here. People around had already looked at them.

Karl also noticed this. He closed his mouth. The two soon left the company. Standing at the door, Karl completely exploded, "Fuck, what is your brain thinking?"

"What should we do in the future?"

"Mix with that Hope?"

"He values you because you have everything Mr. Lans gave you. You lost these, he won't value you at all!"

"I always thought you were a smart person, I didn't expect you to be stupid and hopeless!"

"Enough!" Boni shouted. The pedestrians around looked over here. He had to lower his voice again, "Mr. Hope is a good person. He does have some ambition, but just as he said."

"A beggar can only save another beggar, but a rich man can save all of us!"

"He is trying his best to help more people, I don't want to be a bad person who hurts good people!"

Karl was laughed at by anger, "So you want to use our future to exchange for your Hope's future?"

"Wang Defa!"

"Do you know, no matter whether you do it or not, he is dead!"

"Fuck, your brain really needs to find a doctor to see it!"

Boni's face was also very bad, "Even if he is dead, I hope his death has nothing to do with me!"

After speaking, he turned and left. Looking at his good brother's back, Karl felt for the first time that he was very naive and very stupid, stupid to the point of not knowing what to say.

He pinched his waist, his body was full of anger, but there was nowhere to vent. Just as he turned around, he saw the gate not far away again.

He thought of some things, and his face showed a thoughtful look.

The lingering taste of expensive cigarettes remained in his breath. After a few minutes, he seemed to have made up his mind and walked towards the company again.

The secretary was a bit curious about the little guy who came back not long after leaving, but she still followed the procedure, notified Lans, and brought Karl in after getting permission.

"Only you?"

Lans looked at him, as calm and indifferent as before.

Karl nodded. This time Lans didn't let him sit down.

In the past, they were Lans's subordinates, and Lans would allow them to sit down, but now they are just ordinary people, and they have lost the qualification to sit opposite Lans.

Karl swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his heart was a bit fierce.

He didn't want to move out of the big house, didn't want to go back to the New Port District to eat those food that smelled sour and had been kept for several days, he didn't want to live in poverty for a lifetime.

He wants to be a person above others!

"Mr. Lans, in fact, yesterday Hope found us, he said some words, I think you might be a little interested."

Lans looked at him thoughtfully. Before long, an expression appeared on his face, "Come, sit down and say, I believe this is definitely another story, an interesting story."

He let the secretary bring a new cup of coffee, and at the same time took out a cigar, "Do you want to try it?" ===== CHAPTER 639 =====
