The tree wants to be still but the wind doesn't stop.
Just when Ren Erdong thought he could get out of the mud and remain unsullied, some people reached out to him.
July 22nd, a very ordinary Saturday night.
He went out to eat a bowl of beef noodles as usual and came back to sit on the sofa and play mobile games.
Diao Dong suddenly sent a message from the game: "Damn it, my ranking on the combat power list has dropped. Buy me a ranking gift pack."
Ren Erdong looked at the "list-charting gift pack" which cost 648 yuan, and couldn't help complaining: "It's just a game, what more? The money for this gift pack is enough for me to eat more than 40 bowls of beef noodles."
"You don't understand, they bully me, it's not a pleasure to keep this bad breath coming out."
Ren Erdong saw that his attitude was a bit stubborn, and considering that the other party had helped him and would not look up at work in the future, he relaxed: "Okay, wait for me for a while."
He repeatedly confirmed the purchase content and gift recipients in the game mall. He hesitated for a while when jumping to the payment page to enter the password, but finally completed the payment without saving face.
Diao Dong received the gift package and immediately sent a message to express his gratitude, promising to help him in the game and to help him at work.
Ren Erdong quickly replied to him: "This is for our brotherhood and has nothing to do with work."
"Good brother, after I get paid in two days, I'll treat you to a drink!"
"If I treat you, I must treat you!"
Ren Erdong was still here to be polite to him, when he saw the game's public channel constantly sending out server-wide prompts, such and such information about the top few krypton gold bosses who had just successfully strengthened advanced equipment, and so and so who had failed to reach a higher level. , Diao Dong's game ID is also mixed in. Judging from the frequency of screen refreshes, he is just a "little Kalami" for this small amount of money.
Ren Erdong sighed. The large amount of krypton money in mobile games was a bottomless pit. He could think of the consequences with his toes and quickly logged off to protect his wallet.
However, he did not expect Diao Dong to contact him via WeChat again, saying that one gift package was not enough and two more were needed.
Ren Erdong earnestly persuaded him to stop: "This thing was created by others to trick you. No amount of money is enough!"
"I'll lend it to you."
"It's not a matter of borrowing or not, I can't bear for you to fall into someone else's trap!"
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up. If you don't borrow, you are not a brother!"
"..."
It was the first time that Ren Erdong saw someone who turned against someone so quickly. After much thought, he decided to transfer 648 yuan via WeChat.
Unexpectedly, Diao Dong was so jealous of gambling that he accepted the transfer and was not satisfied: "Damn it, brother, you are sending a beggar away. The medical representatives of other companies are much more cheerful than you. I kindly remind you that you will not be able to eat like this in the future!"
Ren Erdong was instantly alert: "Ah? Did you borrow it from others? How many did you borrow in total? Be careful and you will go down a road of no return..."
Diao Dong stopped replying to messages.
Ren Erdong was really worried about his friend. He went back to the game and took a look. As expected, Diao Dong was online and was constantly strengthening his equipment to hit the rankings.
Looking at the red all-channel announcements, Ren Erdong could not imagine how much money he had made.
After much thought, he felt that it was necessary to ask Qiao Jianbin first if he wanted to stop Diao Dong through Zhang Houlian, Zuo Jing and others.
Qiao Jianbin understood the whole story and remained calm: "I understand, leave this matter to me and you don't have to worry about it."
Ren Erdong soon saw that Diao Dong was offline, and only a few big names on the public channel were left to compete.
He smiled with relief, happy that he had saved a young man who had stumbled.
But what he didn't know was that after he went offline to sleep, Diao Dong came online again soon, and his ID appeared more frequently in public channels.
Because Qiao Jianbin just drove over overnight to deliver 20,000 yuan in cash, Diao Dong went offline to deposit money at the 24-hour self-service bank.
Yes, Qiao Jianbin didn't go to Dali at all. He has been working hard these days and is busy doing a big thing, which is related to the goal of getting Vice President Chen to quit.
His indulgence of Diao Dong soon triggered a chain reaction. The attitudes of Yi Shenhui and Zuo Jing changed significantly, and they made increasingly excessive demands.
Zuo Jing asked Ren Erdong to play football again. They definitely won't win with their skills and lazy attitude, but that doesn't stop them from going to a food stall to have a drink together after the game. Ren Erdong thought he was just there to check out, but he didn't know until after the game that there was more excitement to come. program.
Zuo Jing let the others go first, while he grabbed Ren Erdong to have some "fun".
Ren Erdong anxiously walked two hundred meters with him and saw a cramped lottery station in a small alley west of the entrance to the Sports Commune Stadium.
Zuo Jing predicted the results of tomorrow's Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga and other league teams, and told Ren Erdong that this was a good opportunity to make a fortune.
Ren Erdong's eyes widened: "You bet on football?"
Zuo Jing smelled of alcohol and retorted: "How can this be called gambling? This is a serious sports lottery. The state allows them to sell it. Is it still illegal?"
Ren Erdong had nothing to say and looked aside with his hands on his hips.
Zuo Jing skillfully found a piece of paper to write on, and then boldly photographed it in front of the owner of the lottery station: "Click this, 14 wins and losses, single multiple bets."
Seeing that the machine only spit out one lottery ticket, Ren Erdong felt relieved: "Fortunately, it's just one ticket, not much money."
According to his simple understanding, it costs 2 yuan for one bet, and 5 bets for a lottery ticket are only 10 yuan, so it is nothing to buy for fun.
But Zuo Jing took out a handful of banknotes and placed them on the counter: "Deduct it from your account first. If it's not enough, I'll pay in cash."
The owner of the lottery station read out the amount: "The total is 1,024 yuan, which is enough in the account."
Ren Erdong was stunned when he heard this: "This lottery ticket is worth more than a thousand?"
Zuo Jing chuckled: "That's wrong, it's not more than a thousand, it's worth several million! As long as all 14 games are won, lost, or tied, you'll get the first prize. If it's less, it's more than one million, and if it's more, you can get three. five million!"
Ren Erdong didn't believe it: "My big brother, that's 14 games. Who can guess them all correctly?"
The owner of the lottery station was not happy: "How come no one guesses correctly? There are dozens of first prizes in each issue of 14 games. When you first start playing, you can try to win or lose any 9 games or guess the goal in 4 games." gameplay."
Zuo Jing put his arm around Ren Erdong's shoulder and said confidently: "Watch more football, understand the strength and level of each team, and gradually you will be able to predict it almost exactly. If you follow your brother and buy it, you will definitely not It would be wrong.”
Ren Erdong shook his head firmly and directly rejected their "good intentions".
Before leaving the house, the owner of the lottery station reminded Zuo Jing: "You only have more than 100 left in your account, don't you want to top it up?"
Zuo Gong glanced at Ren Erdong meaningfully. Seeing that the boy was indifferent, he waved his hand irritably: "Next time, let's talk next time."
