Chapter 3 — My Friends and I Burned Up the Printer

She used to eat too little delicious food, and received too little praise. To that little girl back then, those things were like drugs — once touched, she couldn't stop. Is there any child who doesn't long to be loved by their parents? Like a person lost in ice and snow for a long time, as soon as he sees fire, he unconsciously wants to get closer. That fire may burn you, but it's the only warm thing in the world. She can only move forward step by step — Until she burns herself into ashes. 8 When he came to see me, my best friend was very depressed. That night, she was drunk and foggy, thinking she was still in the countryside. She lit a fire. Sitting in the middle of the ashes, hugging his knees, whispering: "Dad, Mom, I'm so cold..." The comments were full of curses: 【If you want to die, just die! The female lead's apartment of more than thirty million was burned down just like that!】 【That's right, if it were me, I would be heartbroken.】 【It's not that bad, it's only a fire in one room and the fire system alarmed, hasn't the fire already been put out?】 【You know what to say! If the house had caught fire, its structure would have been deformed, it would be impossible to continue living in, and the price would be forced to sell!】 Everyone is mourning my unreal luxury apartment. As for me, I'm just heartbroken for my best friend. How could a girl so good, so optimistic, so bright, even think about suicide? I absolutely cannot let that happen again. I ran back to my room, rummaged through the drawer, took her ID card, used scissors to cut it up, and threw it straight into the trash can downstairs. Without an ID card, you can't get on the train to go home anymore — right? That night, when my best friend came home, I pretended to be in pain: complaining of a stomach ache, complaining that my whole body was tired, and torturing her all night. By the way, she also turned off the alarm she had set for tomorrow. But unexpectedly - When I woke up the next morning, there was no sign of her in the room. The room was cleaned and neat as if no one had ever lived in it. On the bedside table there was also a bowl of hot minced meat and egg porridge. She texted me: 【Duong Duong, I'm back to my hometown. Breakfast is on the bedside, eat it all, you will feel a little better.】 【Don't worry about me, I told Giang Hoai Chu everything last night, he will help you. Don't be polite, he owes me a big debt.】 【Unlucky, I lost my ID card this morning and almost missed the train. Luckily I got the certificate back in time, the staff here are really nice, really lucky.】 【The train is running~ Duong Duong will become a super rich female CEO, and I will be a civil servant every morning, nine in the afternoon, both of us will have a good future.】 What a good future! That's the road to death! I called immediately in panic. “Kim Hue!” "Are you crazy?! I told you - I won't let you go!" After scolding two sentences, my tears blurred my vision: "You come back to me! Come back here immediately!" My best friend just smiled bitterly: "Duong Duong, stop being stubborn." “You also understand my family's situation... my parents allowed me to stay in Hang Thanh for more than half a year, that was their limit.” "My neighbor's sister works in Hang Thanh and sends home three thousand a month. I can't even support myself..." "It'll be fine, believe me - I'll be fine. You and I have a dress model." That's it, it will definitely become a hot item, and you will make a fortune in no time!” Last night I told her the same thing. But no matter what, it's impossible to pull her back. She gently coaxed me a few words, then hung up the phone. 【The train has arrived, let's not talk anymore.】 9 I tightened my grip on the phone in my hand, a flash of confusion appeared in my heart. Haven't the comments already revealed everything? Am I still unable to change my best friend's destiny? No, I have to be patient, I can't be so hasty. My best friend refused to come back because she didn't see any future or hope. As long as that dress really sells well, I will come to her house to find her again - I will definitely convince her. In my previous life, I actually didn't get rich that quickly. Because that blue dress was suddenly famous, there wasn't much on the market at that time. By the time I reacted in time to buy more, there wasn't much left. The raw materials were also snatched up by big merchants, so in the end I only made a profit of more than ten thousand. But thanks to that dress, my Douyin account attracted a decent number of fans, paving the way for future products. Now, I want to go one step ahead — use all the money I have to collect as many goods as possible. Over the next few days, I almost went crazy, calling all my friends and relatives to ask for money, even scraping up all the online loans, a total of 350,000 yuan. When Giang Hoai Chu came, what caught his eye was the following scene: I was sitting on a pile of packed blue dresses, calling on the phone with a low energy. "Hello, eldest aunt, I really won't lie to you, I'll pay in full in half a month, oh ya, even if you don't believe me, then what's the point of being a relative?" “You are a decent student, why are you deceiving people? Doing business only requires capital turnover, it will be returned very quickly!” “It's only twenty thousand, you didn't buy it by mistake, and you won't be fooled.” Giang Hoai Chu took two steps back, glanced at the house number, then cautiously observed me: "Hello, you are Tham Duong, right? I am Kim Hue's friend.” The moment I saw him, my heart skipped a beat. He wore a simple white t-shirt, thin black-rimmed glasses, high nose, handsome facial features, clean aura, exactly the type of appearance I like the most. BGM even automatically popped up in my head: "♪ It's hard to forget the first time I met you, those captivating eyes... ♪" Giang Hoai Chu smiled gently, revealing his charming crooked teeth, carrying a bit of youthful mischief, making his face even more attractive. The commenters started cheering: 【Aaaaa the male lead is really so young, so handsome!】 【They looked at each other! These eyes are so sticky!】 A second later, I decisively hung up the phone and rushed straight to his face: "Giang Hoai Chu! Can you lend me some money?” Giang Hoai Chu was stunned, his eyes full of caution: "How much?" I vaguely remember a close friend once saying, "Mr. Milk" has the means. I took a risk and held out a finger. “One hundred thousand?” Giang Hoai Chu: “Goodbye.” 10 Giang Hoai Chu turned and ran away. I quickly grabbed his sleeve: "Just kidding!" Don't need that much! Ten thousand, ten thousand is fine, don't go!” Giang Hoai Chu showed an unwilling face and finally reluctantly stayed. “There is no money, but only one life.” "If I don't respect Kim Hue, I won't do it for you for free." “Initially, it was clearly stated that it would only support free labor, but you still asked for food and drink, that's really too much.” One sentence "Kim Hue" and another "Kim Hue", made me start to doubt, squinting at him: "You have a crush on my best friend, right?" Comments immediately exploded: 【What is the female lead doing?! He is the male lead, it is her destiny!】 【That's right! Don't make random assumptions anymore! The cruel female supporting character still wants to pair up?!】 But there are also people who disagree: 【I remember clearly in this part that the male lead really has secret feelings for the cruel female supporting character, that's why it's so difficult to end the entanglement later.】 【Correct! Otherwise, how can a busy person like him have so much free time that he runs to take photos for the female lead every day after work? It's all because of the cruel female sidekick, normal friends don't get treated like that.】 【But the male lead quickly fell in love with the female lead, no need to worry about who they met in the first place~】 Giang Hoai Chu immediately jumped up, his face as cold as ice: "You really don't know the right measure." Seeing that he was about to leave again in anger, I hastily flattered him: "I'm just talking nonsense, now that it's time, respect Kim Hue, do a little help before leaving, okay?" If you can't borrow money, at least you can make use of human strength. I quickly changed my mind - that blue dress, my import price was 85 yuan, I sold it for 188 yuan. Minus shipping and packaging costs, the profit is about 100 yuan per unit. Use 350,000 to import goods, at most you can make more than 400,000. But what if… I made that dress myself? Is it possible to double the profit? I dragged Giang Hoai Chu everywhere, found a fabric supplier, and contacted a garment factory for processing. In the end, the negotiated price startled me: “Only… 20 yuan?” Twenty yuan of production — 188 yuan sold, meaning with 350,000 capital, I can earn 3,290,000! Subtracting the principal of 350,000, I can get a net profit of 2,940,000! Profit nearly ten times! What if the investment capital is not 35 thousand, but 50 thousand? How about 100 thousand? I typed loudly on the computer, my eyes shining like stars, my heart racing. No way — I have to earn more money. The more the merrier!
