The world begins with shameless people

time flies.

More than a week passed.

Mickey spent more than half a month and a lot of money on the reading site, and it is finally completed and will open tomorrow.

This evening.

Mickey, holding a cigarette, looked over the reading room carefully, smiling brightly, but said nothing.

Naturally, the Milkovichs had already started chattering and making a lot of noise.

Mickey ignored him, took a long puff of his cigarette, turned his head to Svetlana who was standing beside him, and said, "Two years."

Svetlana had no expression and nodded calmly, "I hope we can all make a lot of money."

Two years was Ding Xiu's suggestion.

Ding Xiu’s idea is that Mickey will run this reading place for only two years. He will make as much money as he can in the next two years and then sell it immediately.

The reason is not complicated.

If you keep doing this line of work, basically no one will have a good ending. After a certain period of time, you will either be caught or die... It is necessary to cleanse yourself, and the sooner the better.

And in two years...if you manage well, you will definitely earn a lot.

"He's not coming?" Svetlana thought for a moment and asked calmly.

"Ding Xiu?" Mickey's IQ was limited, he guessed it was this, but he was just not sure.

Svetlana nodded.

Mickey smiled, "He's a clean businessman."

Actually, Mickey is not that stupid. He can see some things more clearly.

Earlier, Mickey roughly understood what was going on with Ding Xiu, and knew that Ding Xiu would never, and there was no need for him to personally get involved in these things... Then, how to put it, in Ding Xiu's eyes, they were probably puppets.

Being a puppet doesn’t feel good. Mickey was really unhappy for a while after thinking about this... But later, he slowly figured it out.

In this world, no one is anyone else's puppet.

Why do you think so much?

Just do it and that's it.

Hearing Mickey's reply, Svetlana couldn't help but laugh, thinking that it was really funny, but she didn't say anything... Svetlana was not stupid. No matter what she thought in her heart, she would never say anything bad about Ding Xiu.

After all, today's good life is not easy to come by, and Svetlana doesn't want to lose it.

at this time.

Mandy walked in.

This was Mandy's first time in this place.

So, when she saw this, Mandy was immediately shocked.

Mandy had heard from Mickey that this place was relatively large, but she had never expected it to be this big. Moreover, it looked almost the same as a regular reading room.

After the surprise, Mandy became more worried.

A too large reading field means there will be more gamblers, which means the amount of funds will be exaggerated.

But this is the South District, and too much money means greater danger.

Mandy sincerely felt that Mickey would die one day, and she couldn't help but frowned. However, after thinking it over and over again and hesitating repeatedly, she didn't say much to Mickey and just congratulated him.

Time flies.

A group of shameless people who received the invitation arrived one after another.

Shortly afterwards, Mickey, dressed in a suit and tie, took a puff of his cigarette and announced the start of the party.

This underground space is extremely lively tonight.

In this lively atmosphere, the two con men sent by Skinny Mike blended in very smoothly with their superb acting skills.

********

The night is getting darker.

Ellabar Bar.

As usual, only Tommy, Kermit and other old drunkards were left in the bar.

Ding Xiu and Bianca, as usual, sat at the bar, killing time and listening to the drunks making noise.

At this time, Frank came in, looking in good spirits.

"Hey, Frank, what good thing happened?" Tommy saw it and asked casually.

"Life is good," Frank smiled, sat down at his old seat at the bar, and called Kevin, "A glass of beer." Kevin said nothing, poured a glass of beer and passed it to him.

Frank was delighted to see the beer, smiled, and drank it.

Ding Xiu glanced at Frank twice.

Comrade Frank seemed to have not been in trouble for a while. He was leisurely and relaxed all day, eating and drinking.

This seems normal.

It's not surprising that Frank, having lost his job and an arm, stayed quiet for a while.

Ding Xiu didn't pay much attention to it... Since Frank has calmed down for the time being, there is no need to rush. There is still a long time to go, so just take it slow.

In a blink of an eye, the drunkards were chatting and talking about Mickey's reading.

Tommy and Kermit had no interest in the reading field... In fact, most of the drunkards here only liked to drink and not gamble. The reason they talked about it was purely because a new underground reading field had been added in the South District, which was indeed a big deal worth gossiping about.

"I never thought that Mickey would actually achieve something after all his hard work," said a drunk. "Terry was ruthless all his life, but he never accomplished anything. But his son succeeded."

When Ding Xiu heard the name Terry, he couldn't help but be distracted for a moment.

Terry...

It feels like it was a really long time ago.

By the way, the grass on Terry's grave is probably quite tall.

The drunks talked about Terry.

Ding Xiu listened for a while, and seeing that it was almost time, he and Bianca got up and left to go home and rest.

**************

In Caleb's studio.

In fact, Ian had also heard about Mickey's progress. To be honest, Ian still missed Mickey very much. Looking at Caleb in front of him, he couldn't help but think of Mickey again. Then, he decisively stopped his thoughts and smiled at Caleb.

The two of them had been arguing back and forth for quite a while.

Tonight, it's time to play.

So, Ian took the initiative without delay.

Caleb hesitated and held out his hand to stop him. “I think before that, we need to share some of our secrets.”

“???” Ian didn’t understand.

"I'll go first," Caleb said without further ado, "HIV positive."

When he heard the words, Ian instinctively widened his eyes, "????"

This stuff is no joke.

If he were a normal person, he would have run away.

Unfortunately, after a moment of surprise, Ian, who was severely in love, not only did not want to run away, but was relieved. "I may have bipolar disorder. That's what the doctor said. I don't think I have it."

Caleb's face changed, and his reaction was even greater than Ian's just now.

It's really fun.

Is bipolar disorder more serious than HIV?

For a moment, neither Caleb nor Ian said a word, and the atmosphere quickly became weird.

A few seconds passed.

Love-brained Ian couldn't help but say, "Do you mind?"

Caleb actually minded, but, due to his personality, he shook his head and smiled, "What about you?"

Ian also laughed, "No."

Look, how terrible love-brain is.

Simultaneously.

When it comes to choosing a partner, Ian and Fiona are really very similar. They both like to choose bad people and don't know how to cherish those who should be cherished.

What's wrong with this?

Not long after.

All the cards have been revealed, and everything will fall into place naturally.

Ian was very happy.
