Chapter 1: The Mercedes SLK and the Unfortunate Soul from Hell

The event I have disliked the most in my life up to now is the class reunion

With a loud crash, my can of cola was just thrown into the speeding Mercedes SLK.

MD, driving so fast, you'll crash and die! I spat on the ground in frustration. I casually threw out a finished soda can that I hadn't had the chance to discard yet.

In the bar, elegant blues melodies flowed from the saxophone, and the lights flickered enchantingly. I cast a pitiful glance at Brother Da Fei, who was digging his nose with his index finger. Although I had not attended the tenth session of the Wireless Performing Arts training course, I believed that my tone and my pitiful expression could undoubtedly move even the hardest of hearts.

As I was thinking this, a roar of an engine suddenly echoed in my ears

I can no longer afford to take the bus, as the red rear of the vehicle and its tail lights remind me that I do not have five million, only five hundred. I cannot afford an SLK or Armani; I can only buy a Benetton outfit! If I just broke something and am asked to compensate, I certainly cannot afford to do so

Crocodile! Big Fei Ge was choked. MB Crocodile, surprisingly has athlete's foot, causing my feet to peel every day now

Zhang DaTou's academic performance is average, yet his demeanor is smoother than the glass marbles he played with as a child. If you were to spit on his face, he would still smile and wait for it to dry.

I glanced over and, just at that moment, a Mercedes SLK sports car sped past me, in the most striking red color

How can I afford such an apartment? Have you ever watched Hong Kong films?

Last year's classmates gathered after Zhang Datou bought a new car at hetushu.com

The call was made by Zhang Datou, who was the class monitor of the class I attended during my four years of university.

Many people may not enjoy watching those narrative films now, but generally, individuals of our age have grown up watching those films and listening to the songs of the Four Heavenly Kings

Zhang Datou certainly said that this reunion was to bring everyone together, and throughout the entire reunion, he also played his role very well

I will first buy a Mercedes SLK, then spend money to hire a beautiful model from an art school to sit beside me, and then dress in Armani, appearing before you all, making your eyes pop out!

"Pity you no longer collect their protection fees? You even gave him the protection fees collected from others?" Brother Da Fei glanced at me with a look of sorrow, "We are the mafia, we are the bad guys, do you think we are the International Red Cross?"

I am not aware of how the students in other classes are, but as for our class meeting, it is essentially a rare opportunity created by a few individuals, like Zhang Datou, who are doing relatively well in society, to show off in front of us.

Of course it is related, because if you often watch Hong Kong films, you will remember that there is a character called "Hell's Loser" in one of the films.

It's just driving a sports car; do you think you're piloting a Transformer, a mech warrior, or the dinosaur-class Kexei? As for compatibility, I might as well be Chekhov, MB!

Big Brother Fei ...

The place where I live is called Starry Sky Mansion

Isn't it just to show off in front of us at m.hetushu.com? If I had not five hundred, but five million on me, I would definitely be very willing to attend your class reunion

Haha, isn't that guy from Lvxing? He's the one who went out on business and came back with a pair of leather shoes

Who is calling me so late!

That time it was a newly purchased car, what is it this time? A villa?

"You are a hell of a loser, yet you live in a building that an average person can afford, the Starry Mansion?" If I say this, and if you have a bit of a temper, you would definitely want to hit me

However, the frequently recurring phrase, "How about it, do you want me to take you back later?" completely reveals his inner world

"But Brother Dafei, aren't those leather shoes quite nice? They are a brand name, and they're made of crocodile leather," I said with a sense of grievance. "Haven't you been wearing them for several days already?"

My nickname, Jiang Yan, is the Hell's Unlucky Ghost

MB, not good

When I refer to Hong Kong films, I do not mean those endless Hong Kong television dramas, but rather the story films similar to those featuring Lam Ching-ying's zombie movies or Stephen Chow's comedies

After spitting forcefully, I opened my legs and ran towards the distant Star Building

"Jiang Yan, have you really made it big now? You don't even answer calls from old classmates anymore." The voice coming from the phone still makes me feel quite disgusted

The "Miracle" bar truly is a place where miracles are born. In this area, there are only two or three groups of delinquents, yet I happened to run into one of them.

Is that so? Haha. However, looking at the picture book, they appear quite handsome and do not seem as foolish as the legends suggest

The middle part hairstyle and denim jeans now seem somewhat poorly made, and the monotonous plots of Hong Kong films have unknowingly influenced the lives of my generation.

Is that so? Then let's not add anything; let's just drink it like this. My goodness, such a difficult drink, yet it comes with so many intricacies, and one can still find romance in it. Brother Dafei pushed the waiter aside, looked at me, and sighed, "You who have studied for so many years have a broader perspective than us. However, having read too many books can dull the mind. Last time, when Xiao B broke the club's rules, I asked you to bring something back from him. If I had sent Dahu and the others, they would have definitely brought back some hands or feet. But you, you just took off a pair of shoes from him for me."

Ha ha ha ha ha

You are certainly going to ask me such a question

Do not say anything more, take this five hundred yuan for now, spend some time finding a proper job, you really are not cut out for the underworld

How could a thug with only five hundred yuan in his pocket possibly afford such an apartment

However, if you think he is weak and easy to bully, then you are mistaken. Zhang Datou is particularly skilled at flattering and ingratiating himself, adept at navigating interpersonal relationships. He has thrived in school, becoming a favored figure in the student council. Those who offend him in class often find their first-class scholarships suddenly downgraded to second-class, and second-class scholarships can easily vanish altogether. I recognized early on what kind of person he was and kept my distance, which spared me from suffering losses at his hands during my four years in university

Everyone is discussing? Isn't it you good-for-nothings who said that? Why has no one consulted me

What nonsense about compatibility

A compatibility rate of ninety-three percent! As I ran into the small alley by the roadside, I did not hear the angry shouts coming from the convertible Mercedes-Benz SLK, but I did hear such an exclamation.

"Brother Da Fei, this red wine should be enjoyed neat. If you add Sprite, you will be laughed at in upscale places," I cautiously reminded him.

I swiftly dashed into the small alley by the roadside

Big Brother Fei, please give me another chance

In the black night sky, green neon lights shimmer on the exterior walls. The 88-story Star Building is the best hotel-style apartment for white-collar workers in our area and is also one of the landmark buildings here

Alumni Association

But what if I tell you that I live in Starry Mansion, Room 89F

Take care, Brother Da Fei

"It is not that I do not want to give you a chance." However, Brother Da Fei sighed helplessly, took his index finger out of his nostril, wiped it on the table leg, and lifted the red wine in front of him to take a sip. "But you have broken the rules of Lvxing this time. If I still allow you to follow me, then none of us brothers will be able to survive here in the future"

I have sent it, and I now have five hundred dollars in total assets. I said while sneering inwardly, "I am currently helping an elderly lady cross the street, so if there is anything urgent, please speak quickly"

The Starry Building has eighty-eight floors, and the eighty-ninth floor is, of course, the rooftop terrace of the Starry Building

Since the conversation has reached this point, I have nothing more to say. I can only put the five hundred yuan into my pocket and walk out of this bar called "Miracle"

I knew that this guy Zhang Datou would not bring me any good news

However, that guy's home is truly very poor; I saw that he has an elderly mother, around seventy or eighty years old, lying in bed. I tried hard to argue.

You are still so helpful, and there is nothing much going on. It's just that everyone hasn't gathered for a long time. We are discussing holding a class reunion on the 8th of next month at Xin Jinjiang, at 8:00 AM. Let's not miss it.

Alright, it is not easy for everyone to make a living. If you are in our Green Star, we will have no way to survive either. Please give everyone a way to make a living.

MB, alumni association

"Who is calling me so late? I curse him to be impotent for a month." As soon as I saw the name on my phone, I immediately added this line in my mind

Back in the days when I was in middle school, I styled my hair in a center part like Aaron Kwok and wore a denim jacket like Andy Lau. How cool that was

Ah?! ... This was my expression at that time

Just as I was thinking this, my phone rang

"Alright, you can speak now. If it weren't for the fact that you are the only undergraduate student at our Green Star, I would have already prevented you from being with me after that last incident." Brother Da Fei took a sip of red wine and shouted to the bartender at the counter, "MB, this red wine is so astringent, how am I supposed to drink it? Add some Sprite for me."

When sales first began two years ago, the price reached over 8,000 yuan per square meter, and now, due to the soaring housing prices, second-hand houses here have already sold for over 10,000 yuan per square meter

Does watching Hong Kong films have anything to do with living in a high-end apartment with delinquents? MB! You would definitely say that
