THE POOR CRY! part 1

Hey lovelies, have you gotten in contact with your vintage wears yet? You're truly missing if you haven't!
Well enough of the vintage talk, you guys need to get the book 'School of Money' its such an amazing piece.

Today, I'll give you another tip of the iceberg 'The Poor Cry'. This piece is under the module 'pathway to wealth'. I advice we read between the lines so as to understand the true essence of this.

Linus opened the boot for the supermarket attendant to drop the wares. It took quite some time to arrange them nearly so there would be enough space for everything. As the young female attendant turned to go, Richie folded some crispy fifty naira notes into her hand. She did not count because that could be impolite, but by estimation, they should be around five pieces. She bowed her knees, glowing with excitement as she said "thank you."

Linus gently closed the door after his boss had majestically taken his seat. As he turned on the ignition, a fairly faint noise loud from wherever it was coming got clearer and louder as it approached them.
         "Richie! Richie!" Linus obviously paid no attention. Starting the car, he was ready to zoom off.
          "I can hear someone calling my name" , Richie said without much certainty,
           "Oga no be you, Richie plenty for Lagos", Linus responded somewhat nonchalantly.
             "But the voice sounds familiar like a voice I knew many years back" , Richie remarked.
Although much against his will, Linus turned off the engine waiting ofcourse to convince his boss that no one was calling his name

Three metres away, Richie sighted Ben, one of his long standing friends. They were classmates at the University and both got jobs at Leventus Motors the same day.

Richie spontaneously flung his door open, throwing himself on Ben. They had not seen each other for over six years after Richie resigned. From Richie's assessment , he could tell his friend was in bad shape.
        "Richie men! Just look at you. The god of fortune has really smiled on you." Ben was not given to hiding his feelings.
        "My brother, its the grace of God O!"
        "Hey man, don't hand me that crap. You have got to show your brother the way, you know."
Richie smiled somewhat embarrassed. He got a bit uncomfortable by Ben's insinuation that he was keeping some secrets. He eventually managed to say "We need to talk"....

What do you think they spoke about?
Is Richie into cunny businesses?
Is he eventually going to assist his friend? Or allow him wallow in poverty?
Is Richie going to stop the poor from crying?

Feel free to comment guys cause the story doesn't end yet! Have a blessed weekend people..
