“57 Blackberry Road! ”

During the summer vacation, Wu Ming found Neville's family, according to information he had heard.

This is a shanty area, surrounded by black and stinking river water, with plenty of garbage floating on it, and many shaky cement buildings piled up in chaos.

Originally, Wu Ming thought that the area he lived in was the worst part of the city, and now it seems that everything is to be compared.

Knocking open some shaky doors, Wu Ming unexpectedly saw a bunch of dirty kids, as well as rags, broken clothes, old furniture, etc. everywhere.

“Is Neville here? I'm his classmate. ”

Wu Ming tried to make his voice seem friendly.

“Brother, someone is looking for you! ”

A girl with twisted braids and two missing teeth immediately shouted at the corner of the house.

“Hmm?”

In that corner, it was a dump made up of old, ragged newspapers, and Neville drilled out of the middle.

He had messy hair, red silk in his eyes, and obviously didn't sleep well.

“Ah, it's Steven! ”

Seeing Wu Ming, Neville was awake with a slightly sleepy face: "You came to see me? ”

He had doubts on his face.

Although they are children of less wealthy families, Steven is living in an apartment building in a much better environment than his own. Not to mention, he is learning better than himself. This time he is first in grade, and he is just a loser!

Every time he sees Steven, he can only remind him more of his incompetence.

“You wanted to see me? ”

Though Steven and I usually had a good relationship, Neville just couldn't fit into that little circle of Vidie, perhaps because he was too self-absorbed to consciously alienate everyone.

“Well, let's go for a walk! I want to tell you something! ”

Wu Ming directly stated his intention.

“Okay!”

Naville landed and climbed up: "Thank God you came to me today, or I'll be in the factory tomorrow, apprenticing Master John! ”

Apprenticeships in this era are not good jobs. They are almost the private slaves of the masters, who can be ordered to do anything without even a penny's pay. The only thing that matters is the daily meal, and the apprentices' only hope is to learn a little craftsmanship from the masters so that they can come out and do their work and get paid officially.

Unfortunately, how could those teachers be so generous? They hide their unique doors from each other, and they want to spend the rest of their lives as apprentices.

The two men walked out of the shantytowns and slowly walked far along the riverbank.

Neville was somewhat distracted and occasionally kicked the stone on the road, which seemed to be a bit heavy on his mind.

Wu Ming felt relieved.

When he left the area, he felt a lot less depressed.

“Neville… I need your help! ”

After a turn, Wu Ming looked at the river, and the factory and chimney not far away, suddenly said.

“What is it? ”

Neville touched his head and did not refuse from the beginning. At the beginning of the class, he was a more casual person, often taking on much more work than himself, and thus appeared to be very thick and very bully. Of course, Wu Ming could never bully him.

“I want to do a little business. Why don't you come and help me? ”

Wu Ming stared into Neville's eyes.

“Are you kidding me? How old are you? ”

I don't know why, but when I met Steven, Neville felt like a little kid.

“Hey, Neville... why do you still have that view tomorrow when you're going to be an apprentice and look at the early morning newspaper and milk delivery workers all over town? ”

“But... but it's different! ”

Neville mumbled.

One is purely selling labor, working for someone else, and one is being the boss himself, of course not.

After confirming that Wu Ming was not kidding, Neville finally said, "What do you want to do? What company? ”

“Are you kidding? ”

At this point, Wu Ming stared at Neville with a tricky gaze: “Do you think the commissioners would agree that two kids under the age of 14 would become legal persons in an enterprise? I'm ready to do some business, but it's just a little noise..."

“So that's it! ”

Neville had an outlet, and he almost thought Steven across the street really had a big business idea.

I don't know why, when I think of Steven's past, he thinks he's going to succeed and become a great person in the future.

“Neville, the war is over now, economic recovery, opportunities everywhere! Just get on this ride and trust me, the money is still good! ”

Wu Ming said in a puzzling tone: "Come and help me, I can pay you 5 horns a day to 1 gold! ”

“And the reward? ”

Neville glared at him and closed his eyes. He thought Wu Ming was trying to make him do white work.

“And, of course, you have a bunch of siblings, don't you? They can help me, too! ”

Wu Ming blinked.

“Mary, they're so young, what can they do? ”

Neville was confused.

“Though they're all kids, the usual picking and picking should be good enough, right? At their age, there is no factory that would want them, so come out and do something for me! ”

Wu Ming pointed to the outskirts of the city, those huge trash hills: “Your place of work, right there! ”

“Hmm?! ”

……

Wu Ming returned home in a happy mood, recalling the face of Neville at the time, and then finally promised to come down, his mouth smiled.

“Hey, Steven, where have you been today? ”

Mrs. Sterling was busy in the kitchen and suddenly discovered half her body: “Your father found you an intern's job, an apprentice in purchasing at a mall, and a reward of 5 horns a day...”

The currency system of the Kingdom of Gold and Oak is also yuan, horn, and divided. Although the money used is paper money, it can be exchanged for gold by going to any bank, so the gold content is very high, called gold yuan, and a gold yuan equals ten horn shields.

However, Wu Ming had just seduced Neville to work for him with this salary, and now other companies feel the same way about him.

“I don't want to go! ”

Wu Ming refused directly.

“Hmm?”

The sound in the kitchen stopped and Mrs. Sterling stepped out and measured Wu Ming: "Steven Jr., what's wrong with you? Do you know how rare this opportunity is? If it wasn't for your learning, Mr. Ketwain wouldn't have promised...”

In her impression, Steven had always been very knowledgeable and obedient, and I couldn't believe he turned down his family's arrangements today.

‘Is it puberty? ’

Mrs. Sterling began to worry, but Wu Ming unexpectedly pulled a note directly out of her pants pocket, and the figures above surprised Mrs. Sterling.

“Ten gold dollars? ”

She shouted, “How come you have so much money? ”

“I've already started making money, I have an idea, I'm going to use it for summer practice, I should earn more than $5 a day, so..."

Wu Ming didn't have that much money, but it's a good thing there's still a bright gambling and gambling industry in the world.

In particular, the gaming industry, which is almost the spiritual opium of the poor, is even more legitimate in the Golden Oak Kingdom.

Wu Ming happens to have a little bit of pocket money, and after saving it, he can make a few small ‘speculations’.

Of course, with his current strength, it would be harder to perceive the fate line in the underworld and win a series of numbers for the prize draw than to rob a bank directly.

Good thing there are so many different ways to gamble, there are the simplest scratches in it, and he has mental acumen...

After a few small bull knife trials, Wu Ming immediately made a fortune and now has three digits in his pocket, which is his first barrel of gold to start his career.

Instead of not being able to get more, it's incredible to be lucky one time, several times in a row.

Moreover, the more money gambling receives, the more danger it poses.

With his strength so far, these are the limits.

“What are you going to do? ”

Indeed, Mrs. Sterling no longer mentioned the apprenticeship, but rather stared at Wu Ming with some glare.

“Confidentiality! ”

Although I know that I will not be able to hide it later, Wu Ming still behaved like a little adult, making Lady Sterling cry: “You little man...”

At the dinner table at night, Mrs. Sterling and her husband exchanged a very tactful look, silent with the wisdom of adults, and were actually going to start sneaking around tomorrow to see what Steven was up to.

Wu Mingxin knew, but pretended to be ignorant and buried his head to eat.

……

“Hi, Neville! ”

“Hi, Steven! ”

Neville rubbed his hands: "As you asked, we've been busy all day getting these! ”

He took Wu Ming to a ‘secret base’ outside the suburban garbage mountain, which was actually an abandoned big shed with a rather stinging smell and a few piles of garbage piled up on the side.

“Well, good, that's your reward today! ”

Wu Ming pulled out several 5-horn shield notes and a child stuffed one in his hand.

“No, no, this is too much...”

Despite his mouth, Neville unconsciously pressed his hand, and the other siblings were not as squeezy as he was, cheering directly for the money to be stuffed in their pockets.

“You've done well, continue tomorrow! ”

Wu Ming sent away a group of people from Neville and looked at a few piles of scrap paper and metal components and so on, with a smile in the corner of his mouth: "Do you want to recycle resources? Are you kidding me? With this hired salary and a meagre rate of return, it's definitely a loss! ”
