"They’re obviously in a pyramid scheme!" "And they dragged Tian Cheng into it too?" Su Xuan’s eyes widened in surprise. Although Lin Tiancheng doesn’t have a formal job, her live streaming is doing fairly well. She shouldn’t be short of money! Could it be that time I took her to the Caranda flagship store to buy those clothes, she spent all her savings? Was she lured into a pyramid scheme because she ran out of money? Or was she tricked into it by someone she knew? It was probably an acquaintance! Su Xuan felt the latter was more likely. Scams by acquaintances always catch you off guard. The next step was to figure out how to rescue Lin Tiancheng. "If you only recruited two downlines today, your performance definitely won’t pass." "Yeah! What should we do?" The two girls were still whispering in the back seat, completely unaware that Su Xuan had heard every word. "How about this? I’ll let you have one of mine," the girl in the black suit suddenly said to the other. "Really? Who are you giving me?" The newcomer was wearing a white suit, and she was quite pretty. "This DiDi driver!" The girl in the black suit glanced at Su Xuan. "I already brainwashed him. He’s probably thinking about how to make a fortune right now. You can have him!" "Okay!" The girl in the white suit nodded, then turned to Su Xuan. "Driver, how much do you earn in a month driving for DiDi?" Su Xuan had to laugh. Your tricks are all the same! Can’t you come up with something new? The girl in the black suit hurriedly nudged her companion, whispering, "Just get to the point. I already asked him that." "Understood!" The girl in white said to Su Xuan again, "Driver, I see your car isn’t anything special—worth a hundred thousand or so at most. Don’t you want to become a rich tycoon, marry a gorgeous and wealthy lady, and reach the pinnacle of your life?" "Of course, I do!" Su Xuan replied immediately. A smile appeared on the face of the girl in white. It seemed Su Xuan really had been brainwashed and had taken the bait easily. She smirked and continued to tempt him, "Then you’ve got to take action right away! Heaven only favors those with the courage to work hard, not those who just drift through life aimlessly." Su Xuan feigned difficulty. "I want to take action, but I don’t have a way to make money!" "I can show you a way," the woman in white offered. "What way?" Su Xuan asked. "The company I’m with is in a phase of rapid development and is in desperate need of all kinds of talent. Let me introduce you to my company!" "Can it get me a Maserati and a big villa?" "As long as you’re willing to put in the effort, those are all within reach!" "But I don’t have much education!" "Our company is very people-oriented. We don’t look at educational background, only life experience." "That’s great, that’s great." "So, will you join our company?" This was his plan to rescue Lin Tiancheng: infiltrate the pyramid scheme from the inside. Find Lin Tiancheng, call the police, and bust the entire organization wide open. The girl in the white suit, having no idea how "sly and crafty" Su Xuan was, said happily, "Then wait a moment. I’ll make a call and ask if the HR department can arrange an interview for you today." After saying that, she made a show of placing a call. After hanging up, she told Su Xuan, "Great news! The HR people are free today, so you can attend the interview!" "So I’m going now? Where is your company located?" The girl in white giggled. "No rush. We’re going to pick up another new colleague, then we’ll all head to the company together." Next, Su Xuan drove to another location and picked up a woman in her sixties. Then, he drove to what they called their company, which turned out to be in a very rundown old neighborhood. Su Xuan parked his car outside the complex. As soon as he got out and walked into the area, he saw stray cats and dogs running all over the place. Household trash was thrown everywhere, and flies buzzed chaotically in all directions. "Oh dear!" To make his act more convincing, Su Xuan deliberately expressed dissatisfaction. "Is this where your company is set up? Are you too broke to rent an office building? You’re not scamming me, are you?" The girl in the white suit hurriedly explained, "Our company rents office space nearby. We’ve even rented five or six floors at once! But the company is growing so fast that we simply can’t fit everyone, so we’ve temporarily set up an office here. Once we rent a new place, we’ll all move over there!" "Oh, I see!" Su Xuan put on an I-believe-you face and followed the two girls into an old building. "Young man, help me up," the elderly lady they had just picked up said to Su Xuan, clutching her back as they climbed the stairs. "Auntie, you’re still working at your age?" Su Xuan whispered, supporting her. "I have no choice, I need the money!" the old lady said, her face full of bitterness. "My son is a good-for-nothing who still lives off his parents!" Su Xuan nodded. "Oh." A couple of minutes later, they arrived on the fifth floor. When one of the girls opened a thick security door, Su Xuan was stunned. In the small living room, more than a dozen people—men and women, young and old—were sitting on the floor, listening to a man speak. The man was dressed in a suit and tie, his face alight with fervent passion. "Why are poor people poor? Because they’re afraid to try anything! Why are rich people rich? Because they try one hundred times, fail ninety-nine, but succeed just once! Many of you don’t lack opportunities; you’re just unwilling to accept new ideas! A friend of mine worked here for only a month and made hundreds of thousands. And he’s not even that smart! You’re all surely better than him, so I think it’ll be no problem for you to make millions, even tens of millions, here! Fınd the newest release on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✶𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲✶𝗻𝗲𝘁 "For your dreams! For your bright tomorrows! Shout with me, I can do it! Shout with me, I will succeed!" A chorus of shouts erupted from the group, shaking the room. Dust drifted down from the plastered walls. The elderly lady beside Su Xuan seemed to have caught the fever, clenching her fists and joining the chant. Suddenly, the man in the suit and tie turned his gaze toward Su Xuan’s group. "Everyone, hold on! We have two new colleagues joining us! Let’s give them a warm welcome! Shall we sing ’Rising to the Top’ together?" At that, the group started singing in unison again. "To rise above the rest, we have gathered here. I will seize this chance and make my mark right here. Twenty-some years of life have taught me one clear truth. When you have no money, everyone looks down on you..." Listening to the chorus, Su Xuan took a deep breath. This is just too damn much. And he didn’t see Lin Tiancheng anywhere inside.
