Today, I was finally removed from the group chat.
From the day I joined the group, I was prepared to be removed from the group.
I was expecting this moment, and I didn’t think it was anything.
This matter has to start two months ago.
One day in early March, I received a text message on my mobile phone. The message asked me to add the number that sent me the message.
I saw my name in the message and thought it was someone I knew, so I added the WeChat number of that phone number.
After passing, I sent a message very tactfully and asked who the other party was.
The answer was someone I didn’t know.
When I saw it, since I didn’t know him, I just blocked him. There was no point in keeping him.
As a result, the other party said that they were destined to be friends. It was also a kind of fate, and they became friends with each other.
I think so, so I didn’t delete it.
The other person introduced himself a lot, where he was from, whether he was male or female, what he did, what his hobbies were... he talked about a lot.
I also simply replied a few words. It is better for me to remain vigilant and guard against a stranger.
Since then, this person will send a greeting every day, sharing his daily routine, food and drink, or doing charity or caring for children or the elderly.
Occasionally, he will post calligraphy or paintings, claiming to be his masterpieces.
One day, he posted another calligraphy and painting: "The mountains are high and people are the peaks" and asked me to comment.
To be honest, I don’t know anything about calligraphy, and the characters are so scrawled that I can’t even read them.
I checked online and found out that these characters were written by a great calligrapher.
From that moment on, I became extremely wary of this person, so I kept an eye out to see what he was going to do.
Every day that followed, this person continued to post pictures of daily life, self-cultivation, and sentiment.
I occasionally reply with one or two sentences, but most of them are ignored.
Just like this, I posted for about a month and a half. One day, this person said that he wanted to set up a group to share life, study, etc. with like-minded friends.
Then, he sent me a group link.
I thought, anyway, I would not click on the link, but always be vigilant, go in and see what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd.
After joining the group, there were not many people, more than two hundred. This person was the group leader and had a small assistant.
Every day, the group leader takes everyone to reminisce about the hardships and sweetness, recalling the days of hardship and unpopularity in childhood, the bumps in the road after work, the misfortunes they suffered, and the hardships they went through before they could achieve their goals. I started my career, and then shared some inspirational things and published inspirational short articles.
A group of people in the group, as if they were being stirred up to their vitality and given a shot of blood, followed by a bunch of similar posts, feeling like they had found an organization.
The group owner still sends these to me privately every day as always, and also has a link to the live broadcast at night.
I have never watched it once, but occasionally I look at the reactions in the group and I probably know what was said during the live broadcast.
Members of the group post to the group what they eat three meals a day and what they do. The euphemistic name is: follow the group leader to become caring people, do business together, and make some points. Chicken soup articles and so on.
I just dived quietly and watched what they were going to do after all this fuss.
It went on like this for another half month before the finale came on stage.
It turned out to promote wine culture.
Because I didn’t watch their live broadcast, I didn’t understand the specific process operations in detail. I only glanced at the group information and got a basic understanding.
Anyway, it is just to let everyone pay to buy wine, and then start your own business selling wine. It is called following the group leader to sell wine and start a business, and you can make money just by lying down.
Then I looked at the screenshots in the group. Some were doing 30,000 yuan, 50,000 yuan, some were doing more than 10,000 yuan, and there were screenshots of wine sales that were very good, etc.
Looking at this lively scene, if you follow the group leader in your career, you will definitely make a lot of money. If you don’t make money, it will be unjustifiable.
The group owner is not idle either. He still sends me messages every day. He is very diligent. Why are you anxious for me? Now the company supports activities. It would be a pity to miss it. Why don’t you want me to lose such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make money? .
After a while, he was willing to advance most of the funds for me. I only needed to pay a few thousand to get on the bus and make money with everyone.
I still don’t reply.
After a week of this, today, I was removed from the group chat.
I took another look at the group owner’s information, and it showed that he was no longer a friend.
As the saying goes: There is no pie in the sky, and there is no free feast in the world.
No matter how hard you work, you will gain something. There is nothing in this world that comes without hard work, and there are no miracles that happen overnight.
Any success is achieved through hard work and sweat.
As a human being, don't be greedy for petty gains, and don't believe in sugar-coated bullets that you can make money by lying down. It's really so easy, so don't try to earn more by yourself.
Instead of taking the brothers and sisters at home, the seven aunts and eight aunts will make a fortune together, and they will also give such opportunities to strangers from all over the world.
What kind of benevolent person or charity is nothing more than creating a false image, packaging one's personal image, eliminating other people's doubts, and making others willingly jump into the trap to whitewash it.
This is a tailor-made pie for those who are greedy for petty gains and quick success.
Think twice before you act, keep a clear mind, and just be a bystander and watch the excitement.
