"this..."
The bald man was suddenly a little embarrassed and subconsciously touched his pocket, "I don't have that much money. How about you give me 30,000 and you can go and claim the prize!"
"I don't have any either! What should I do..."
The pockmarked man said with a sad face, "Do I look like someone who can pay 30,000 Nr?"
"Teacher, please think of a solution for us. Neither of us has that much money!"
The pockmarked man once again asked the man with glasses for help.
The man with glasses hesitated for a moment, then asked tentatively: "How about I give your family 30,000 Nr, you give me the pull ring, and I will go to redeem the prize?"
The pockmarked man and the crew-haired guy looked at each other and thought that they could still get 30,000 Nr each, so they agreed: "Okay, let's do it!"
The man with glasses immediately revealed a look of smug delight, then took his briefcase and began to look for money.
At first, he looked very happy, but as he rummaged through the bag faster, the man with glasses' face became uglier and uglier, and beads of sweat began to seep out of his forehead.
Finally, the man with glasses sighed, "Oh no, I didn't bring much money when I went out today. I have 30,000 Nr here! You guys definitely won't sell it. I'm so unlucky to see the money I earned disappear just like that!"
"ah?"
The pockmarked man and the crew-haired guy were both dumbfounded. The man with glasses didn't bring any money, and they didn't have any money either. How were they going to divide the prize?
So, the pockmarked man couldn't sit still any longer: "Teacher, you are knowledgeable and cultured, please help us think of a solution..."
"Well, how about this, ask others..."
The man with glasses said, turning his face to Alex who was sitting next to him: "Little brother, this is a golden opportunity to make a fortune. Do you have money? Give them 30,000 each first, and then you take the pull ring to receive the prize, and you can make 20,000 in one go! Is there any way to make more money than this? If I hadn't brought any money, I would have gotten this good thing myself..."
Before, Alex had been watching these three people acting with cold eyes. It was obvious that these three people were in the same group. The pockmarked face was Party A, the short haired man was Party B, and the man with glasses was a shill.
Although Alex grew up in the mountains, he is not a fool.
Don't be fooled by his rustic clothes, but when it comes to knowledge, few people can match him, let alone these three low-class swindlers.
"I?"
Alex pretended to be surprised and pointed at himself, then said: "Can I?"
"Okay, now this good thing has happened to you!"
Hearing Alex asking if it was possible instead of saying that he didn't have any money, the man with glasses was overjoyed. You know, if he said that, there was probably something in the bag.
Alex was about to say something else when he felt someone kick his leg.
Alex glanced to his right with his peripheral vision and saw a very beautiful girl, about the same age as Alex.
Her hair was as white as water and her skin was fair. Although she didn't stand up, according to Alex's visual estimation, the girl was at least 1.65 meters tall, which was considered tall.
After getting on the train, I quietly listened to music on my phone.
Alex wanted to flirt with her and chat with her to relieve his boredom on the way, but the girl was wearing earplugs, so he had no idea where to start.
At this moment, the girl was looking at Alex anxiously. She wanted to say something, but she was a little hesitant and could only hint to Alex with her eyes.
Alex naturally knew what the girl meant, which was that she didn't want him to be deceived.
Alex's heart suddenly felt warm. Aren't people in big cities said to be cold and indifferent?
If you see that it has nothing to do with you, you can just ignore it. But if a girl can remind herself of this, it shows that she has a good heart.
As a result, the girl's image in Alex's mind suddenly improved several points.
It is important for a girl to be pretty, but if she has a vicious heart, then it is of no use no matter how pretty she is.
This is Alex's criterion for judging girls.
"Ahem!"
The short-haired guy opposite the girl seemed to have noticed the girl's behavior. He suddenly coughed loudly and glared at the girl fiercely.
The girl turned pale with fright and lowered her head.
Of course, these small details naturally did not escape Alex's eyes.
However, Alex was already bored during the journey, and he was very angry with his old man at home, and he had no place to vent!
Just then, a few idiots came to his doorstep. How could Alex miss the opportunity to tease them?
However, although the girl lowered her head, she still kicked Alex to warn him.
But Alex didn't seem to feel anything and was not moved at all.
"I only have 49,000, not that much!"
Alex pretended to be honest and told the truth.
When the pockmarked man and the crew cut opposite heard that Alex had 49,000, their eyes suddenly lit up.
However, he still had a bitter face: "Only 49,000, isn't it a bit too little? How much can each of us get?"
"Forty-nine divided by two equals twenty-four thousand five..."
The guy with the flat head calculated and said.
"Twenty-four thousand five? It's a lot. I agree. What about you?"
After hearing this, the pockmarked man nodded quickly.
"Okay, since you agree, I agree too."
The flat-headed man nodded and said, "Give me the money."
Alex opened his backpack and took out a small package wrapped in newspaper. He opened it layer by layer, revealing five bundles of banknotes.
"This is forty-nine thousand, that's all... count them."
Alex said very simply: "Give me the pull ring!"
This money is the living expenses that the old man gives to Alex for the next N years. In the past few years, Alex has made a lot of money for the old man. Take the last rescue mission in North Africa for example. According to international practice, he should have been paid at least hundreds of thousands of Nr, right?
However, when Alex was about to leave, the old man rummaged through the boxes and cabinets and found the 49,000 Nr in a torn bag. He claimed that this was all the family's belongings and asked him to use it sparingly.
This made Alex very depressed. Did the old man really have no money, or was he just pretending to be poor?
But he doesn't seem to be pretending. The old man eats the same thing as me every day, and I don't see him enjoying anything.
Could it be that I overestimated the rewards for those tasks?
"Okay, okay!"
The pockmarked face and the crew-headed man divided up the banknotes in front of them like hungry wolves, and then handed the pull ring to Alex.
Alex carefully put the pull ring on his body, afraid of losing it, and handled it with care as if it were a treasure.
Seeing that the three scammers succeeded, the girl sitting next to Alex sighed helplessly.
Looking at Alex's excited expression as if he had won a prize, the girl really didn't know what to say.
After getting the money, the three scammers returned to their previous calm and acted as if they didn't know each other, each doing their own thing.
