Such is life.
Everyone will have several opportunities to change their destiny, but can they seize the opportunity?
One depends on ability, and the other depends on whether you have the courage to do it.
Bell is actually very optimistic about Tom.
Apart from not liking the other person's name, he really thought this young man named Tom was excellent.
He knows how to advance and retreat, is polite, and is very studious.
What this kind of person lacks is just an opportunity, and Bell is willing to give him such an opportunity.
But what is more regrettable is that the other party must have misunderstood something.
Polar bears won't try to save you.
Tom is very good, but he is only very good. He is not irreplaceable.
Back at the warehouse, this is the dock workers’ changing room.
Because the main visitors are giant animals such as elephants and rhinos, the room is very large.
Because dock workers have strenuous physical labor, the warehouse has water and electricity connections, and there is a cubicle specifically for showers. Occasionally, there is a smell of washing powder in the air.
Forget about soap or anything like that.
The dock workers are all rough men. If they can, they will rub their skin and hair with washing powder. If they can't, they can just rinse it off and forget about it.
Bell didn't wear the black and blue overalls today.
It's different than usual.
Today's polar bear is wearing a handsome black suit.
He has a tall and straight body, bulging chest muscles, thick arms, a big furry head and dark brown animal eyes.
There is a hint of restraint in his domineering attitude, which is a bit like a maniac in a suit.
He was holding a notepad in his hand and a pencil in his big, thick paws.
He skillfully opened the notepad, and this page recorded the mission of two cargo ships of wheat that he had written down a few days ago.
The polar bear has no prejudice against anyone, but he really doesn't like this Jewish businessman who makes a fortune.
The businessman had no idea what he was doing.
In the ancient East, there was such a wisdom - Confucianism is the skin, Legalism is the bone, and Taoism is the soul.
Polar Bear has his own crude views. The law he believes is not the law of law, but the law of methods.
In the eyes of polar bears, capital is a method of taking the wrong approach.
But not everyone can use this method, or the statement must be supported by Tao.
Many people think that Taoism is the golden mean, yin and yang, the so-called balance.
The way of heaven may be like this, but the way of humanity is not.
The true Tao is power, which makes my heart and actions as clear as a mirror, and everything I do is righteous.
Tao is the embodiment of power. The so-called golden mean and the so-called yin and yang are just a way of expression of the law.
The true essence is Taoist justice.
What is justice?
Victory is justice!
So after some thinking, Polar Bear drew a question mark on the task bar of this page, which indicated that the task had entered a suspended state.
Then I separated this page and wrote a line of words on a new page——
Mission: Recruit teammates.
Task description: A gang of three heroes. You know exactly what you want to do and the impact of this matter.
Please be careful, because the moment you decide, the gears of fate will begin to turn.
Mission clue: Maybe you should go to Boston to meet this old friend. This is not the beginning, but it can be one of the prerequisites for starting.
Of course, you also need to deal with your rhino friends.
Mission reward: After we leave, they will build schools and hospitals for you and raise your wages. This is not because of their conscience or because they have become good people, but because we have been here - a great leader!
The polar bear thought for a while, crossed out the sentence before we left, and then added a sentence at the end——
We never left.
And after completing all this?
Although he had made up his mind yesterday, the polar bear still had a somewhat complicated expression at this moment.
But the moment the notepad is closed?
The polar bear's deep gaze became firm. He stood up and looked at the rhinoceros who looked hurriedly. Compared with yesterday, his expression was obviously a little tired:
"Unnie, come here for a moment?"
A flash of surprise flashed in Ernie's eyes, and then he looked at the polar bear alertly:
"What's up?"
Although he didn't think that Bell, who had given him a piece of chocolate yesterday, would tell him about his visit to the nightclub.
But the big rhinoceros still subconsciously thought of this matter.
The polar bear noticed Ernie's nervousness.
He raised his hand and patted the other person's thick neck. The rough rhino leather felt so pleasant:
"Take it easy, man, I mean you no harm."
Ernie Rhino was a little nervous at first, but he looked at the smile on Bell's face.
After confirming that the other party had no malicious intent, he asked tentatively:
"so?"
After clearing his throat, he revealed his dark brown eyes. This sturdy polar bear's eyes were deep and wise, like a white bear wise man who had insight into everything in the world:
"Ernie, do you have any ideas for the future?"
"future?"
The polar bear's words made Ernie the Rhino shake his head, and then he said mockingly:
"The future is too far away for me. Now I just want to make money so that my children can receive a better education."
Ernie is not a particularly smart rhino, but he is a real man.
He's doing what he can to give his family a better life without hurting others.
So it's not easy for Ernie. Living in such an era, wanting to be a good person and letting his family live a good life is simply delusional, so he has been trying his best to live.
Polar bears know this big rhinoceros.
So the next moment, Bell asked a question that hit the depths of his soul:
"Nice idea, but do you think you can do it?"
Ernie the Rhino hesitated. The big rhinoceros’ expression flashed, and he subconsciously bit his lip and said firmly:
"I will work hard."
effort?
Looking at the rhinoceros with determined eyes in front of him, the polar bear felt a little complicated.
He didn't mean to laugh at the other party.
Let's talk about chicken soup.
Effort may not necessarily lead to success, but if you don’t work hard, you will definitely fail.
Many people don't understand why the kings of big cities are still struggling. This is probably the reason.
This world is very unfair. You can't control your origin or your wisdom. Some people are born smarter than you, and some people are born stronger than you.
The only thing you can change is yourself.
roll?
No one wants to take the ticket, but there is no way. There are only one hundred tickets to the new world, and eighty of them have been pre-sold.
The remaining 10,000 people are competing for the last twenty tickets.
Is it reasonable?
Unreasonable, but this is reality.
Don't laugh at the kings, they are really trying their best to play out their own life scripts.
The problem isn't with them, it's with the eighty people already on board, or whoever made this weird rule.
They could have put all 10,000 people on board, but instead they had to build a swimming pool and an opera house on the ship.
This damn capital society!
Rhino obviously did not see the essence of the matter clearly, so when he said that he would work hard, Bell knew that he had fallen into the trap woven by capital and became a new generation of roll king.
So the next moment, the polar bear asked the other party another question:
"How much is the tuition for last semester at Woods Elementary School?"
Without thinking, Rhino said subconsciously:
"Seven hundred and twenty dollars."
Later, Bell asked the other party another question:
"What about the second half of last year?"
This question made Ernie the Rhino stunned for a moment. He hesitated, but he still said:
"Seven hundred dollars."
Then, the polar bear raised his eyebrows.
The dark brown beast eyes are still sharp, like a sharp sword.
But the difference is that in the eyes of the big rhino, it was the deterrent brought by size and force.
And now?
Polar bears don't look like white monsters that are so terrifying that they can tear everything apart.
At this moment, he is more like a wise man who has insight into the world and transcends everything:
"From last year to this year, tuition has increased by $100, and the price of school uniforms has nearly doubled. What grade are your two children in this year?"
The big rhinoceros lowered his head and said in a loud voice:
"second grade."
The polar bear raised his brows and raised his dark lips slightly.
There was a hint of mockery in his expression.
The light words were like a knife, cutting off the bright future that the big rhinoceros had longed for, allowing him to see an extremely cruel truth:
"How much will the tuition of Woods Elementary School be in four years? One thousand and fifty per semester, or two thousand per semester?"
