  Chapter 5 I will keep my word, God witnesses

   It’s best to get straight to the point. They are not interested in listening to polite greetings from outsiders. If they are not interested in the first sentence, they are likely to close the door directly.

  The young man froze for a moment, then rubbed his face vigorously, became interested, and asked in an obviously excited tone: "A doctor's certificate? Can you get a doctor's certificate? Really?"

  Physician’s certificate is a necessary certificate for students to ask for sick leave from the school. Basically, a doctor’s certificate is equivalent to three days off. If there is no doctor’s certificate and you insist on taking sick leave, you must wait for the university to contact the student’s parents.

"I thought the graduation ceremony was about to come. Maybe you would like to have a carnival with plenty of time before some members graduate and leave school. As for the question of whether it is true or not, I promise it is true. Sir, you can verify it after you get it Pay again." Tommy Hawke said with a decent smile to the young man.

  The young man seemed to have no intention of inviting Tommy Hawke in for a chat. He nodded: "Wait here, I'll go inside and discuss it."

   "Well, a warm reminder, the minimum price is ten, and each is thirty dollars." Tommy Hawke added to the young man who turned and walked inside.

He is not worried that the price of 30 yuan a piece will scare away customers. You must know that although these Virginia white trash are discriminated against by northerners, many northerners are actually quite jealous. Most of them have large tobacco or peanut farmers and vineyards covering dozens of hectares, and may even hold shares that are compensated for the land occupied by local coal mining companies.

Don't look at these white trash all day sloppy, vulgar and wild, maybe richer than many northern states looking bright families, and can not need loans, pay college tuition in full, and take out extra every year Those who pay hundreds of dollars to join the fraternity are the best among them.

  Why is God favoring you foolish Virginia? This proverb spread among the population in the northern part of the United States is basically equivalent to the Chinese saying that the other person is stupid and rich.

Thirty dollars for a three-day vacation, an average of ten dollars a day, is not expensive for rich fraternity members, and rare things are more expensive. Tommy Hawke is sure that these guys are in Providence and even the whole In Rhode Island, if you are not really sick, you will never get a real doctor's certificate. The reason why it is so strict is because of the AIDS outbreak in New York State. Americans have not yet figured out the mechanism of its infection, so they can only strengthen medical treatment manage.

   Soon, another companion with short brown hair followed the young man to the door, and he looked up and down Tommy Hawke:

   "Boy, are you a student in our school?"

  Tommy shook his head slightly: "I'm a salesman from Rhode Island Community College."

"The school that only local idiots with hopelessly poor grades go to?" The young man curled his lips in disdain, but then added to Tommy Hawke: "Sorry, I didn't mean to scold you, can you It's not stupid to think of selling merchandise, to show that you've finally learned something in college."

   "So..." Tommy Hawk spread his hands: "You two, do you need anything? The doctor's certificate, I can provide prescription drugs, and they will be delivered in the afternoon at the earliest, cash on delivery."

   "What's the price of Adderall and Quetzalone?" The short-haired youth was obviously the leader of the fraternity, and asked about the prices of the two prescription drugs.

  Tommy opened his mouth and gave the price: "The price is the same, 50 cents a piece, starting from 50 pieces."

   "A bottle of forty-five capsules of Adlar in the pharmacy only costs five dollars." The short-haired young man frowned, staring at Tommy and said.

Tommy said in an unassuming manner: "If you can buy it from any pharmacy in Rhode Island without a doctor's prescription, and you won't ask me for the price, believe me, if you want to bypass doctors and pharmacies, It is not easy to get a large number of prescription drugs. I think it is not the first time that you have bypassed pharmacies and doctors to buy prescription drugs. The price should be clearer than me. This is a reasonable price, since doctors in Rhode Island need to be sworn in to work , it is increasingly difficult to obtain prescription drugs privately."

"If you can make it cheaper, I will consider buying from you for a long time. You should also know that fraternities often hold parties and are in great demand." The young man thought for a while and said to Tommy: "We are indeed planning graduation ceremonies Have a big party before, if the price is reasonable, I can buy all the prescription drugs and drinks needed for the big party from you, that's a big deal, kid."

"There is an old saying in Virginia that trust starts with following the rules." Tommy Hawke smiled and came up with a proverb that white people in Virginia often talked about since the time of the black slave trade: "I firmly believe that discounts often It happened after we kept the rules with each other, the price will not change this time, but if you need it during the big party, I think there will be a discount that will satisfy you.”

The young man stared at Tommy for a few seconds, and laughed too: "I like you, boy! I like you! That's how it should be! This is a trustworthy salesman! Tim Kane, North American brother Vice President of the Johnson & Wyden University Chapter."

   "You two can call me Carlo, Carlo Leon, so what can I do for you?" Tommy also laughed.

   "I think we need 20 doctor's certificates, 100 Adderalls, and 100 sleeping pills." The young man discussed with his companions in a low voice, and then said to Tommy.

  Tommy nodded: "No problem, both of you, please provide me with 20 names and basic information for issuing a doctor's certificate, and borrow the driver's licenses of at least six of you by the way."

"Of course... boy, it seems that you are much more reliable. Before, there was an idiot who told me that he could get a doctor's certificate without even asking for his name. It turns out that he is a liar." The companion went in to get relevant information, he said to Tommy himself.

  Tommy took out a cigarette, handed one to the young man, lit it for him, and then took one himself:

  “There is a difference between a salesman and a scammer. I am doing business, not committing a crime.”

   "If you can get a good product, boy, you will be the most trusted salesman of our fraternity in the future." The young man took a puff of a cigarette and said with a hearty smile, "You should understand what I mean, good product."

  Tommy Hawk smiled humbly, took the paper with his name and a few driver's licenses from his companion, bowed slightly to the two, turned and left:

   "The Bible says that whoever believes in me will receive forgiveness of sins, become a great saint, and share the inheritance. Therefore, you two, I will keep my faith, God's testimony."
