Chapter 89 Walter
After Frank rejected Walter's proposal to start a business together, the two chatted about some family matters. Frank learned about Walter's recent situation.
Walter is now working as a chemistry teacher in a public high school in New Mexico and has a child with mild cerebral palsy and mobility difficulties.
Frank recalled that Walter was a very glorious person in the past. After graduation, he entered the institute and participated in the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
Later, I heard that I also started a business with my good friends using the knowledge of chemistry. It was similar to Joseph's company and it was also a large company with a market value of over 100 million yuan.
If it weren't for this, the former "Frank" wouldn't have borrowed money from Walter and wanted to hug Walter's thighs.
But unexpectedly, things in the world are impermanent and so glorious, the influential figures in the school eventually became ordinary people.
When Frank heard about Walter’s current job, he knew that Walter must have been in a bad state.
Although Walter is now a chemistry teacher in high school. It sounds very decent and seems to have a social status, but it is well known that teachers don’t make much money. If teachers want to make money, they mainly rely on cram schools...
Moreover, Walter is not teaching in a private school. The private school has a strong teaching staff and expensive tuition fees. Naturally, the benefits of teachers are also very superior, and even the same as those of executives in some large companies.
However, Walter teaches in a public high school, and his salary is almost the same as that of a minimum living allowance, let alone anything else.
Just because of knowing Walter's past, Frank can be said to be very sad about Walter's current situation.
However, Frank was a little curious. Why did Walter suddenly contact him and planned to "start a business" with him?
Walter is about the same age as him, and he is in his fifties. He can retire after working for a few more years.
Although Walter was working as a chemistry teacher in a public school, he didn't make much money, but he was still in the staffing department. When he retired, he still had various pension benefits.
The teacher's pension benefits are pretty good, more than the lower level, less than the welfare benefits for ordinary positions, and more than the working years. Walter has worked in the school for more than ten years.
When Walter retires and receives welfare, he can still live a good life, and he is not as good as taking the risk of "starting a business".
If "starting a business" is arrested, Walter's reputation will be discouraged and he will basically be in vain for the first half of his life.
So, Frank was puzzled why Walter took the risk.
But in the email, Walter did not explain and distracted the topic in a veiled manner.
Seeing that Walter didn't want to say much, Frank didn't ask.
It seems that no one has talked to Walter for a long time, and he talked a lot with Frank.
Although the two have not met for many years and had a conflict more than ten years ago, they were brothers who lived in the same dormitory after all.
People who live in the dormitory should understand that kind of relationship. Even if they haven’t seen each other for a long time, even if they have become greasy middle-aged people, they have wives and children, but the friendships they make when living in the dormitory will not fade, but will age like wine and over time.
It is enough to get a close friend in your life. Most of the people’s confidants actually get to know each other when they are sleeping.
Frank and Walter were similar. Although they were a little unfamiliar at first, they soon became familiar with each other when talking about the past. However, the topics they talked about were more about children, after all, they were both parents.
The chat lasted until dark for two days, and the children all returned home, and the two ended.
"What happened? I'm so happy?" Fiona asked in confusion.
"It's nothing, I'll talk to an old friend for a while." Frank said casually.
"I plan to go to the sanatorium with Wei tomorrow afternoon to visit Aunt Jinji." Debbie said while everyone gathered at the dinner table for dinner.
Debbie likes Mrs. Jinji very much. When she is resting, she often goes to the sanatorium to visit Mrs. Jinji.
Although Mrs. Jinji is old and has a confused mind, Debbie always goes there, and she is more serious than Mrs. Jinji's real children. Mrs. Jinji has already remembered Debbie.
"Are you planning to skip class?" Frank frowned.
"Tomorrow is Friday, we have no classes in the afternoon..." Debbie said.
"It's Friday..." Frank suddenly realized, not expecting time to pass so quickly.
"Wait!" Frank suddenly remembered something and showed a thoughtful expression.
The next day, Frank left home early and went to Sheila's house.
"I'm going to school. Mom, if someone calls me, no matter what the other person says, you don't agree..." Karen carried his schoolbag and told Sheila before going out.
Because Sheila became an internet celebrity and became more and more popular, many people have focused on Sheila's traffic popularity. Sheila is simple and Karen is afraid that when she was in school, Sheila will be fooled and promised something she shouldn't have agreed to.
In fact, Karen doesn’t have to go to school now. As long as he goes to school during the exam, he can successfully graduate and then concentrate on being Sheila’s agent and running his own account.
In order to be an agent, Karen specialized in researching related knowledge such as live broadcasts and various video platforms. If Karen was not old enough and had not yet grown up, he could have obtained the agent certificate and become a professional agent.
Karen can pass the agent exam now with his eyes closed.
However, Karen has already promised Frank that he would take the college entrance exam after graduating from high school and could not give up his studies.
So, Karen still has to go to school every day, but the major he wants to study in college has already decided and decided to apply for a media-related major.
After repeated instructions, Karen left home to go to school.
"Huh?" Karen looked at a pink car parked by the road in surprise. Cars of this color are rare, but they didn't care too much and turned around and walked towards the school.
‘Dudu!’ The pink sedan followed Karen and honked a few times.
"Dad Frank!" Karen turned around, looked down at the car window, revealing Frank's company, Karen shouted in surprise.
"Get into the car quickly." Frank opened the car door and greeted.
"When did you buy a car?" Karen jumped into the car excitedly.
"I just bought it recently, I'll give you a happy birthday." Frank said, handing Karen the car keys.
"This car... was given to me!" Karen said in disbelief.
"Of course, haven't I promised to send you a car?" Frank said.
"Thank you dad!" Karen hugged Frank hard, unable to suppress his excitement.
"Hey, I'm driving, don't move around." Frank said quickly: "Although this car is given to you, you must get your driver's license exam first..."
