America 1982

"If people from the Order of the Phoenix or the White Robes saw me getting into your car, they would think something was wrong. Stephen, if I remember correctly, you just brought a group of idiots from the Order of the Phoenix with you not long ago. Damn it. Qian Qian kidnapped a girl called his mother... called his mother or something, that girl with a very innocent face and a body that could breathe fire at any time? She was originally chased by my good brother Ted, but was also chased by The one you kidnapped. And now you actually dare to ask me out for a chat?" Tommy asked, holding a cigarette and sitting in the passenger seat of Stephen Penn's fiery red Ferrari sports car.

Stephen held the steering wheel with both hands and said proudly: "Ruth, right? You are talking about Ruth, the beautiful girl that your SSD originally planned to use to run for SSD International Sweetheart, right?"

"Yes, that's her." Tommy nodded and said affirmatively to Stephen: "The face is as pure as the young Judy Garland."

"She is now a strong candidate for VSA America's Lover." Stephen said with a laugh: "The feeling of snatching a woman from the hands of the fool in the White Robe Society is really enjoyable."

SSD’s International Sweetheart and VSA’s American Lover are both beauty pageants. Every year, these fraternity associations will select from the girlfriends of the chapter members recommended by each chapter based on appearance, personality, character, achievements and other conditions. The most perfect girl serves as the international sweetheart or American lover of her fraternity. Although there is no substantial reward, it will be printed in the magazine published by her fraternity and announced to all chapters, making countless brothers envy that boy, enough to make that girl's boyfriend Bragging for a lifetime, so every time the selection period begins, handsome guys from various fraternities will pursue beautiful girls on campus, trying to see if it is possible to challenge for this honor.

Ted from SSD hooked up with a beautiful girl named Ruth, but within a few days of dating, she was snatched away by Stephen from the Order of the Phoenix with a money offensive.

Tommy threw the cigarette butt out: "I guess you didn't ask me out to show off your new car and new girlfriend to me."

"Of course not, I'm going to have a formal talk with you, brother." Stephen said while driving.

"If I don't take medicine now, I probably won't have the energy to accompany you to those formal activities you mentioned. Stephen, in addition to studying this week, I have been absent from SSD's weekend activities. All my energy is busy investigating an old case with very little information. , I bet that the legal aid center at Stanford Law School is far behind those schools like Harvard and Yale, because the lady named Sophia who provided me with help has not found the information I want." Tommy He leaned his head on the back of the chair and said feebly:

"So, if you want to introduce me to leisure activities like alcohol and beautiful women, you'd better wait a while."

"He is indeed a bastard from the country. In your impression, am I so superficial that I only take you out to prostitutes?" Stephen glared at Tommy dissatisfied.

Tommy nodded apologetically: "I'm sorry, Stephen, because I'm a poor guy, so I can't imagine the life of a rich person, but as far as I know, there are only seven days in a week, and four of them you left a fucking message on my pager. , asked me if I wanted to go to the city with them to work as a prostitute."

"Rich people live a fulfilling life, okay? I spend a lot of time every day keeping my brain thinking." Stephen defended.

Tommy didn't even look at Stephen and asked directly: "So, what are you thinking about?"

Stephen laughed: "Thinking about which one to go to. To be honest, gambling and drug addiction have no competitiveness compared with this entertainment activity. As long as you are in a gloomy mood, you can call on dozens or twenty pretty girls wearing various styles." Have a swimming pool party with you in a bikini, and the world will soon be full of color again. This kind of party is a great way to relieve stress for college students who are under heavy academic pressure."

"Absorbing knowledge and expel tadpoles at the same time, it's such a fulfilling college life." Tommy closed his eyes and cursed with a smile.

Stephen honked the horn hard, stimulating Tommy to open his eyes, and said dissatisfied: "You didn't tell me that you were working in the company recently, Tommy, if I hadn't kidnapped Ruth, she told me I don’t know anything about you about the situation of the SSD people.”

"You'd better not tell me that you want to invest the money." Tommy looked at Stephen: "Because I haven't talked about it with you yet, it means it is not a good idea."

"I was about to do this. You idiot, you should have told me earlier. How could I not invest in a company when I started a company? We are CS gangsters, remember? You actually applied for Stanford's 50,000 yuan entrepreneurial fund like a fucking beggar?" Stephen took out the cigarette case and threw it to Tommy: "If other people in CS knew about it, they would fucking laugh at me for being stingy and penniless. The most important thing is that I don't even have a fucking vision for investment."

Tommy took out two and lit them in his mouth. After giving one to Stephen who was driving, he said: "I don't need investment, no, I need investment, but I don't need your investment now, do you understand?"

"I don't understand. A simple sentence coming out of your mouth is as complicated as a philosophy professor. Listen, I have confidence in you. I think you can definitely make money. I might as well lend it to you." , whether it’s an investment, in short you can take away two million, you know this little money has no impact on me." Stephen took a puff of the cigarette and said with certainty.

Tommy closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then said: "If I guarantee that I can make money without risk, I will definitely come to you. You know I won't be polite, but it's different now. I need more than just money now." , and some support other than money. If I only get your investment, my company will definitely close down. So, wait until I survive the most difficult moment, brother, wait until I appear in front of you, right? You say: Silly Stephen, invest 20 million, and your dear Tommy is going to help you earn some pocket money to go to prostitutes! You can just take the money out."

"I thought you were just too embarrassed to appear in front of me because you and I joined a different fraternity, so I drove out to have a serious chat with you. Are you sure? That's two fucking million, and I don't even have one. Such a large amount of money was spent." Stephen exhaled smoke and asked Tommy.

Because he and Tommy were in different majors, they rarely met each other. He would call Tommy every now and then to go out for entertainment, but this guy never showed up. In the end, it was because he stole the girlfriend of a guy from SSD that he found out that this guy was starting a business without telling him. He wanted to give Tommy some help, and at the same time, he also knew that Tommy would definitely make money.

Because this guy once made a Nickelodeon producer look like an idiot, and he had seen what Tommy was capable of.

But now, Tommy actually seriously rejected his proposal on the grounds that he needed some support other than money.

"I don't understand, what kind of support can't be solved by money?" Stephen asked Tommy.

"Industry support, your money does not belong to this industry. If you invest it, it will not make even a single ripple. You can only keep taking money out to help my small company survive. But the result is that you will burn a lot of money. Nothing is left. We are brothers. I understand your good intentions. That’s why I refuse. You must let this company survive the darkest moment independently. If others find out that I actually got the investment, then it will really It is about to close down, and it must remain weak before making a desperate comeback." Tommy sat up straight and looked at Stephen:

"From the day I founded it, it was just a glowing firefly, lighting itself up in the dark forest and leading the way for hunters. This is the whole meaning of its existence, so it cannot grow, which is detrimental to this forest. Biologically speaking, only fireflies pose no threat."

The second update... perfect attendance is gone... I was delayed because of something, I cried to death~
