Chapter 372: I'm so angry, don't look down on anyone
"When business is good, I can make about 100 yuan a night, but when it's bad, I can only make 20 to 30 yuan. Alas, there is nothing I can do. Last year, the company laid off employees and I was laid off. It's hard to find a job, so I found a security job in a shopping mall, which only makes more than 3,000 yuan a month. I have two children in school at home. No matter how hard and tiring it is, I have to support them to finish college..."
When the uncle heard that Li Quan was from the countryside, he felt a little more friendly.
He began to complain to Li Quan.
This uncle has experienced all the bitterness of a middle-aged man.
"Uncle, once you have provided for the two children, you can enjoy your life." Li Quan comforted the other party.
Nowadays, the employment pressure is so great that even if you complete undergraduate or even graduate studies, you may not be able to find a good job.
"Haha, I don't expect to enjoy a good life, as long as they don't end up as miserable as me. Young man, I think you have a good heart. I have something to say to you. You must work hard when you are young. Otherwise, when you reach my age, it will be too late to work hard. You can't compete with those young people at all, and can only watch the wheel of time roll over me."
The uncle used his own failed life to warn Li Quan.
"Okay, thank you for your advice, uncle. I will work harder. Let's work hard together. I believe that life will be better tomorrow."
Li Quan did not tell the uncle that even if he did not work hard now, he could still live a comfortable life when he was old by playing games and picking up girls every day.
People were kind to him, so Li Quan also responded with kindness.
After saying goodbye to the down-and-out middle-aged uncle selling roasted sweet potatoes, Li Quan walked straight to the sales office.
"Xiannv Lake Zhuyun Community Sales Center."
The dazzling bright red characters and neon lights inside are particularly eye-catching on the door sign.
The sales office was decorated quite luxuriously. The luxurious floor tiles with a unit price of more than 2,000 yuan were laid from the inside to the steps outside. The revolving glass door made people feel like they had entered a star-rated hotel.
There is a red carpet on the floor, leading all the way to the sales office.
You can see that there are many people looking at the sand map of the real estate project.
The work pressure in Shanghai is extremely high. Many people just cannot spare the time during the day, so they can only come and see the building after work in the evening.
Generally speaking, anyone who dares to look at properties in any real estate project in Shanghai has some financial strength.
Even if you have more than one million in savings and a monthly income of more than ten thousand yuan, you will definitely need to shrink your neck when you go to see a house.
Why?
Because I’m not confident.
A house that costs four or five million yuan is really not affordable for ordinary people.
Even if you buy a smaller house with a total price of 3 million yuan and a down payment of 1 million yuan, you still have to take out a loan of at least 2 million yuan. Even if you pay it back in installments over 30 years, it is still a huge burden to bear.
If you want to buy a bigger house, over 140 square meters with four bedrooms and two living rooms, on a better floor and in a better location, and get all the decoration, appliances, furniture and everything done, the price may be close to 10 million or more.
That is basically not something that ordinary workers can afford.
At least you have to be a department manager or high-end talent with an annual income of more than 600,000 to be able to afford it.
Li Quan walked into the sales center while eating delicious roasted sweet potatoes.
He has never paid much attention to his image.
Now he is at least a middle-class wealthy man with a net worth of nearly 1 billion yuan, but he is still wearing a set of cheap clothes that have been washed so much that they are pale.
Then he ate the roasted sweet potatoes, which are the country people's favorite food, with a look of enjoyment.
There was even a lot of dirty black charcoal ash on the corners of his mouth and lips.
This image formed a sharp contrast with the men and women in the sales office who were dressed brightly and elegantly, like elites or wealthy people.
Li Quan didn't care about the surprised looks from others at all.
People live for themselves, not for others.
As long as you live a good life, it doesn't matter how others see you.
If he gets a monthly salary of 2,000 yuan, wears a suit and tie, and looks like a successful person, he won't be that vain.
Besides, empty things are empty. If you don’t have enough balance in your card and a successful career, no matter how beautifully you dress, you are still just Cinderella or a toad.
In fact, such people live a very tiring life and are prone to accidents.
For the sake of so-called face, some people, with monthly incomes of only a few thousand yuan, take out loans to buy bags worth tens of thousands of yuan, or even buy second-hand luxury cars with zero down payment. Then they put themselves into a heavy debt crisis.
In the end, the truth could not be hidden anymore, and the debt collectors came to the house and made a scene, writing red words on the door and spraying paint.
Send messages to friends and family to collect debts.
What would it be like if by that time you were ruined and your family was separated from you?
The sales lady standing at the door welcoming guests was wearing black stockings, a hip-wrapped jumpsuit, high-heeled pointed white leather shoes, a ball-bun, and crystal earrings. She also wore an exquisite watch that showed her temperament and intelligence.
It really looks quite pleasing to the eyes.
But when they saw Li Quan's shabby appearance, the warm smiles on their faces instantly melted into ice.
Or look away and pretend you didn't see it.
Or they lower their heads and play with their phones.
There was no one to greet or receive Li Quan.
It seemed as if he shouldn't have come here.
It is true that only those who are successful in their careers or wealthy are qualified to come here.
Because what are sold here are expensive houses, not goods that can be bought for a few or dozens of dollars at roadside stalls.
A house costs several million, which is unaffordable for ordinary people.
From the perspective of these sales ladies, they concluded that the young man in front of them, who was dressed shabbily and eating roasted sweet potatoes, could not even afford a parking space, let alone a house.
"You look down on me? Don't worry, I'll buy you a villa and the people in it later when I see one I like."
No one greeted Li Quan, but he didn't care and walked straight towards the sand table inside.
The building molds on the sand table are all built one-to-one.
Where is the villa property?
There were people gathered in front of each sand table, and Li Quan could only squeeze in.
"Ouch, I'm getting squeezed!"
A lady in front said angrily.
She turned around and saw that the person who was squeezing her from behind was actually a skinny young man in extremely shabby clothes, with a black mouth and a roasted sweet potato in his hand.
Suddenly, she felt even more disgusted.
"You're eating something so dirty, and I don't even know if you've soiled my clothes ."
The woman came to see the house alone. She was about 31 or 32 years old, dressed quite elegantly and had delicate makeup.
I don’t know whether she is a single, rich and beautiful woman or a married woman.
Judging from the clothes, bags and watches, she should belong to a wealthy person.
"You don't understand, a baked sweet potato may look dirty, but it's very clean inside and tastes really good. And some things may look shiny on the outside, but they may be full of shit inside."
Li Quan did not agree with what the lady said at all.
"Hey, what's wrong with you? You pushed me, but instead of saying sorry, you started swearing at me?" The woman was so angry that her face turned red and her eyebrows raised.
"I'm just stating the facts, I'm not scolding you!" Li Quan looked puzzled. Then, a flash of inspiration came to his mind, "Oh, you're not someone who does that kind of work, are you? Sorry, sorry, I didn't know and said something you didn't want to hear. But I really didn't mean anything else, I just wanted to tell you that some people may look bright and beautiful on the outside, but they may be dirty on the inside."
It would have been better if Li Quan didn't explain, but this explanation made the woman furious.
The people around looked at this lady with a hint of contempt in their eyes.
Some men looked at her with a different kind of radiance.
I wanted to go up to her and ask for her phone number so that I could contact her in the future and take care of her business.
"You, don't slander me. I have a decent job. Although I'm just an insurance salesman, I've never sold my body."
The woman was ashamed and angry, and she was almost crying.
She thought Li Quan knew her background and said that on purpose.
"Hey, why did you cry after just a few words? I apologize to you, I won't say anything more. I am most afraid of girls crying." Li Quan was a little panicked this time.
I certainly didn't keep my mouth shut when I spoke just now.
He also saw that this lady was only 31 or 32 years old and had the ability to come here alone to buy a house. In addition, the words she spoke were misleading, so he thought she was doing the kind of job that was not allowed to be discussed in public.
I didn't expect that I would make her cry.
"Who deliberately came here to cause trouble? Are you really that bold?" Four security guards rushed in with ferocious looks.
There should be no security guards at the sales center.
It is very likely that he is a security guard patrolling the property.
"It's him. He can't even afford to buy a house, but he deliberately squeezed in on this lady, and ended up making her cry."
The sales lady pointed at Li Quan.
"Kid, this is not the place for you to act wild, get out now. Otherwise I will teach your mother a lesson too." The security guard shouted angrily.
These security guards look like vulgar people and their words are very dirty.
If he had just scolded Li Quan, he might not have bothered with the security guard.
Now he even dares to scold Li Quan’s mother.
That would be unforgivable.
Bang!
Li Quan acted like lightning, slapping the security guard in the face, knocking him to the ground.
"Remember, you can scold me, but don't scold my mother."
Li Quan was just a gentle and amiable person, but in the blink of an eye he turned into a strong man emitting a powerful aura who could not be insulted or offended.
In Li Quan's mind, the person he respects most is not Professor Liu, nor He Youlong, but his parents who gave birth to him, raised him, and paid for his college education.
This security guard actually dared to disrespect his mother; a slap in the face was the least he could deserve.
"You, you actually dare to hit someone? Brothers, come together and kill this bastard." The beaten security guard climbed up, the left side of his face was swollen.
Four clear fingerprints appeared.
His expression was ferocious and vicious, and his eyes looked like he wanted to kill someone.
“Come and try it!”
Li Quan stood there calmly and indifferently.
At this moment, everyone realized that this thin young man in shabby clothes was as noble as a god.
Several security guards were stunned by the invisible aura he exuded, and no one dared to rush forward to challenge his authority.
"What happened?" A middle-aged man who looked like a manager hurried in from outside.
He must have received a report from his subordinates that someone was causing trouble in the sales center, so he rushed over to deal with it .
"Manager Han, after this young man came in, he not only molested the female customer, but also beat up the security guard who came to stop him." It was still the sales lady who answered.
There were more than a dozen male sales staff on the scene, but this woman was the one who spoke all the time. She should be the supervisor among the many sales ladies.
"Young man, why did you come here to cause trouble and beat people?" Manager Han stared at Li Quan. Even though he was furious, he asked Li Quan the reason in a calm and gentle tone.
Being a manager is indeed quite different from the people below you.
The calmness with which he handled the problem alone is enough to be admired.
It is human instinct to vent one's temper.
Being able to suppress your temper is a real skill.
A powerful person often has a heart as calm as thunder and a face as calm as a mirror.
If both parties are angry and don't control their emotions, things will get worse and worse.
"I didn't molest the female customer. I beat him because he spoke rudely and cursed my mother." Li Quan was calmer than Manager Han and spoke in a gentle tone.
It was as if all the accusations, including beating the security guard, were just a trivial matter.
With his current status and strength, this is really a trivial matter.
"Then why did you push against this lady just now?" The supervisor among the sales ladies questioned Li Quan face to face.
"I should blame you for this. I wanted to come in and look at the villas, but you saw that I was wearing ordinary clothes and eating two roasted sweet potatoes, so you decided that I couldn't afford to buy a house. No one came forward to greet me."
"If anyone of you had received me, even if it was just to ask me a question, I wouldn't have to squeeze in to see which building was a villa building."
When Li Quan looked at the sales lady, his eyes were cold and contained a hint of dissatisfaction.
It is indeed because they did not do their job properly and looked down on others that such a big misunderstanding occurred.
"You said you wanted to look at villas?" The sales manager looked at Li Quan with a look of extreme contempt. "Let alone villas, even the most ordinary two-bedroom apartment in this community costs more than 2.6 million yuan. It's still unknown whether you have 10,000 yuan in savings."
The sales manager thought he wouldn't make a mistake.
She judged that Li Quan's worth would not exceed ten thousand yuan.
"Girl, what's your name?" Li Quan was getting angry, so he decided to be unrestrained for once.
At least teach this snobbish female supervisor a lesson.
Let her know that next time she shouldn't look down on anyone.
Especially those who are dressed normally.
In a coastal province, many villagers became rich overnight due to the demolition of many villages. In some villages, the average net worth of the people per capita is no less than 10 million.
But when you walk in, you will find that flip-flops, a white vest worth a few dollars, and a pair of washed-out jeans are their most common attire.
The cars these people drive are not expensive, just mid- to low-end cars costing a few hundred thousand or two hundred thousand yuan.
But if you think they have no money, then their assets are definitely something that most ordinary people can only look up to.
Because they are rich, they no longer care about external things.
In their eyes, wearing high-end clothes and showing off everywhere will seem childish and ridiculous.
