Volume 5: Twenty Undoubted Chapter 323 Liang Shuang asks Yuan Xudong for money
"Be gentle, you're hurting me!"
"knew!"
In the somewhat dark sports equipment room, Yuan Xudong looked at Liang Shuang, who was frowning and biting her lips with her pearly teeth. While hugging her soft and boneless body, he panted slightly and said:
"Speak softly, don't let Xiaoguo and the others hear you!"
"Well, be gentle!"
"good!"
…
Just outside the small window, Jiang Xiaoguo, Duan Jiabao, and Luo Yan were still sharing their stinky tofu and chatting about the strange things they had encountered today. Duan Jiabao said:
"By the way, today, I made everyone in the company like me by my own efforts!"
"Tell me, how much did you spend on the dinner?"
"No, I didn't spend a penny!"
“Is this true or false?”
Duan Jiabao looked at Jiang Xiaoguo, who still didn't believe him, and said with a smile:
"I just told them my bag was fake!"
"Of course you can!"
Looking at Duan Jiabao, who had just started working and had already learned how to lie, Jiang Xiaoguo smiled and said:
"You said that if rich people like you carry fake bags, people will say you are down-to-earth. But if we carry fake bags, people will say we are pretending. But then again, you are doing a good job of being down-to-earth. Keep it up!"
"How do we continue?"
"Go deep into the lives of the general public!"
"Can you tell me more about it?"
"To be specific, there are many more!"
As Jiang Xiaoguo spoke, she stared at the pearl milk tea in Duan Jiabao's hand. Seeing her like this, Duan Jiabao understood immediately and quickly offered the pearl milk tea with both hands like a dog's leg.
"Teacher Jiang, come, come, have some tea!"
"To be specific, it mainly involves four aspects: food, clothing, housing and transportation!"
After taking a sip of the pearl milk tea, Jiang Xiaoguo imparted her theoretical life experience to Duan Jiabao like a teacher:
"Let's talk about clothes first!"
"good!"
"The clothes you usually wear are so expensive and fancy. Why don't you wear more normal white-collar clothes?"
“Will it be too flowery?”
Looking at the jeans and shorts he was wearing, Duan Jiabao frowned slightly and said:
"I think it's okay?"
"You don't think it's important, but everyone else thinks it's important. Everyone else is wearing normal white-collar clothes, but you're the only one who's different. You either stand out from the crowd or you stand out from the crowd. In any case, you'll end up being a misfit. Do you understand?"
"I see, what you said makes a lot of sense!"
Duan Jiabao nodded slightly, then looked at Jiang Xiaoguo and said confusedly:
"So am I a crane standing out among chickens, or a chicken standing out among cranes?"
"It's not important, okay?"
"oh!"
After glaring at Duan Jiabao, whose train of thought was a little different, Jiang Xiaoguo continued to teach her:
"As for food, the main thing is to share the order with others when ordering takeout. If you encounter a discount promotion, you should share it immediately. Remember?"
"Well, I remember it!"
"Let's talk about housing. Complain more with everyone about how expensive housing prices are, how expensive rents are, and how working for the landlord is like that!"
"ah?"
"Also, most importantly, don't tell anyone that you own four houses and shops in Shenzhen. Remember that?"
"Well, remember, don't tell anyone that I have four houses and shops in Shenzhen. My mother told me about it a long time ago. I haven't told anyone except you and Shitou about this!"
"Well, you did a great job!"
"Thanks!"
"If you still have time, ride more shared bikes!"
"ah?"
When Duan Jiabao, who had ridden a shared bike before, heard about riding a shared bike, he said with disdain:
"Forget about shared bikes. I never want to ride them again. They're too hard to ride!"
"Well, then. Anyway, just remember these four words: grab, coop, and borrow. Grab the red envelopes, coop the orders, coop the rides, and borrow money..."
"Borrow money if you want!"
Jiang Xiaoguo glared at the quick-talking Duan Jiabao and said with a smile:
“WeChat loan!”
“WeChat loan?”
Hearing that Jiang Xiaoguo also borrowed money through WeChat, Duan Jiabao said with a smile:
"You still have to borrow money from WeChat. You are living a very miserable life. Just borrow from me next time!"
"Duan Jiabao, one more thing, remember to buy more self-defense items!"
"Why are you buying something for self-defense?"
Looking at Duan Jiabao who was still a little confused, Jiang Xiaoguo smiled and said:
"After all, those who said things like you were basically beaten to death by us!"
Hearing Jiang Xiaoguo's funny words, Luo Yan, who had been playing mobile games next to her, couldn't help laughing. Seeing the two of them laughing at him, Duan Jiabao couldn't help but stick out his tongue and said:
"You guys were the ones who got beaten to death, woo woo!"
After laughing, Duan Jiabao looked at Jiang Xiaoguo and Luo Yan who were hugging each other and said:
"By the way, do you know? My high school classmate who was a purchasing agent cheated me. The Gucci bag she sold me was really a fake one. I went to the counter to ask, and found out that the real bag had a black border around the handle, while mine was white. I was so pissed off. She was my best friend in high school, why is she like this now?"
"Dabao, is your bag really a fake one?"
"yes!"
Seeing Jiang Xiaoguo looking at him with eyes slightly wide open, Duan Jiabao nodded and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, I checked it before, your bag is the real one!"
"It's over, it's over!"
Hearing that his bag was the real one, Jiang Xiaoguo said with some grief:
"I thought my bag was a fake, so I put it at the bottom of the box and I don't know if it's broken. No, I have to go back and check it out!"
With that, Jiang Xiaoguo left Luo Yan and Duan Jiabao and ran towards the girls' dormitory. Seeing Jiang Xiaoguo running like a rabbit, Duan Jiabao and Luo Yan looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders, spread their hands, and then trotted towards the girls' dormitory. They landed not far behind Jiang Xiaoguo and shouted:
"Xiao Guo, run slower and wait for us!"
"It's too late, I'll wait for you in the dormitory!"
…
Soon after Jiang Xiaoguo and the other two left, in the sports equipment room, Liang Shuang, with a flushed face, held down Yuan Xudong who was still doing mischief and whispered:
"No, not here, they seem to have left, let's go outside!"
"No, right here, I like this!"
"You, wuwu!"
…
The night is as cool as water, and the night is like a weave. A bright moon shines through the overlapping clouds, casting a silvery-white veil of light. The bright moonlight shines into the sports equipment room through the gaps in the iron bars on the small window, adding a bit of mystery and beauty to the hazy feeling.
It was late at night and the entire playground of South China University of Finance and Economics was quiet and empty. At this moment, there was a "creak" sound, and the door of the sports equipment room under the stands was pushed open, and two figures holding each other walked out from inside.
"Let's go to the InterContinental Hotel!"
Yuan Xudong supported Liang Shuang, whose face was flushed and legs were weak, and walked to the outside of the playground and said with a smile:
"Wait here for a moment, I'll go drive!"
"don't want!"
The surroundings were quiet, with no one in sight. Liang Shuang, feeling a little scared, grabbed Yuan Xudong's clothes tightly and said:
"I, I'll go with you!"
"good!"
Looking at the somewhat frightened Liang Shuang, Yuan Xudong put his arm around her waist as they walked, jokingly saying:
"Xiao Shuang, so you are afraid of the dark?"
"Who, who is afraid of the dark?"
Seeing that Yuan Xudong dared to laugh at him, Liang Shuang blushed and said stubbornly:
"I'm worried that it's unsafe for you to drive alone, so I want to accompany you, do you know that?"
"Yes, yes, you are not afraid of the dark. You are not afraid of anything. I am afraid of the dark, okay?"
"You, you're still laughing at me?"
Seeing Yuan Xudong trying hard to hold back his laughter, Liang Shuang couldn't help but hit him angrily:
"It's all your fault, bad guy!"
"Yes, yes, I'm the bad guy and you're the good guy, okay?"
Holding down the angry Liang Shuang, Yuan Xudong pulled her towards the parking lot below the boys' dormitory. Most of the vehicles parked here were electric bikes, motorcycles and other means of transportation. There were also a few cars, but they were all ordinary cars costing hundreds to hundreds of thousands of yuan. At least in South China University of Finance and Economics, Yuan Xudong's car was considered relatively high-end. From elementary school to university, none of his classmates were second-generation rich or official people with particularly prominent family backgrounds.
Maybe it was because those people were attending so-called aristocratic schools, so Yuan Xudong could be said to be the king of the world when there is no tiger in the mountain. He was doing quite well at South China University of Finance and Economics. At least in the eyes of others, he was similar to those legendary second-generations. After all, he could drive a million-dollar luxury car while still in college, just like the village chief's son having a white horse. In medieval Europe, that was called the Prince Charming.
By the same token, on a university campus, if you own a million-level luxury sports car, you are said to be a second-generation aristocrat with the right of first choice of mate, a classic villain in novels, a minor character who is slapped in the face by the protagonist's pretense. But the reality is that he is the real protagonist, born with a silver spoon in his mouth and born in Rome. Most ordinary people are just runners-up. It is said that a scientist conducted a rather cruel social experiment. He tracked and investigated children from different social classes over a period of twenty-eight years.
In the experiment, children from poor families generally matured earlier. They loved learning, wanted to change their destiny with knowledge, were filial to their parents, and had many other good qualities. These children were eliminated one by one in elementary school, junior high school, and high school. The higher they were promoted, the higher the elimination rate. After graduating from college, some of them did not become teachers, doctors, scientists, etc. as they had said when they were children. Basically, they worked as ordinary employees in a company. A small number of them became middle-level leaders, but there was not a single real senior executive.
On the contrary, children from wealthy families or powerful families are mostly rebellious when they are young and do not like to study very much, but they also have their own hobbies, such as robots, horse riding, ballet, playing the piano, etc. These children's academic performance is not top-notch, but it is not bad either, and they have great potential. Their families also arrange for them to study abroad. When they grow up, they also do not achieve any great achievements, but they generally live a good life and their families are relatively happy. Their overall performance is many times better than that of children from poor families.
Parents twenty-eight years ago, children twenty-eight years later, when the two groups of pictures with a difference of twenty-eight years were put together, people were surprised to find that their performances were almost exactly the same. Their children were of the same class as their parents, and there were very few children who could truly break through the class barrier.
Of course, this set of experiments cannot prove anything. On the one hand, the sample size is too small and there is a great deal of randomness. On the other hand, the selected classes are not completely representative.
The bottom layer in it is not the real bottom layer. Similarly, the rich kids or powerful kids in it are not the real upper class. They are small company owners with some assets at home, or ordinary civil servants whose parents have some very basic power in the municipal government. The real top layer is not something this scientist is capable of investigating. The real bottom layer doesn't even have a wife, let alone children, so there is no need for this scientist to investigate.
In comparison, Yuan Xudong is lucky enough . Not only has he achieved financial freedom early, he has not yet married and can fully enjoy the life of ordinary people after becoming rich. He can make his house bigger, his car better, and his girlfriend younger and prettier. The essence of life is probably so plain and boring, and Yuan Xudong likes this kind of low-brow lifestyle, because only such stimulation can gradually fill his empty heart.
After walking into the parking lot and driving out, Yuan Xudong asked Liang Shuang to sit in the passenger seat and fastened her seat belt. Then he drove to the InterContinental Hotel and said:
"Xiao Shuang, please book a room online first. I want one with a bathtub. I want to take a bath!"
"I see. You're such a bother. You ask for so many things!"
After giving Yuan Xudong a blank look, Liang Shuang took out her phone from her jacket pocket and started booking a suite at the InterContinental Hotel. After she was done, Yuan Xudong looked at her and smiled:
"You are going to the party tomorrow. Do you need me to prepare anything in advance?"
"No, just remember to wear formal clothes!"
First he glanced at Yuan Xudong, then Liang Shuang looked at himself and said:
"I'm going to get a hair treatment tomorrow, right at Raffles Square, remember to pick me up!"
"OK!"
Nodding slightly, Yuan Xudong glanced at Liang Shuang's fair and clean face and the high ponytail tied behind her head while driving, and smiled:
"I think you look good the way you are now, why do you need a hairstyle?"
"What do you know?"
When Liang Shuang heard Yuan Xudong praising her beauty, she showed a hint of obvious joy on her face. She rolled her eyes at him and said angrily:
"Hair is a woman's second face, so of course it needs to be well maintained. Are you worried about your money?"
"Of course not!"
Seeing Liang Shuang described him as being so petty, Yuan Xudong pretended to be displeased and said:
"How much does it cost for you to get your hair done? Do I care?"
Looking at Yuan Xudong who was yawning like a toad, Liang Shuang suppressed a smile and said:
"So I get my hair done once a week?"
"Whatever, whatever you like!"
"Well, give me the money!"
Seeing Yuan Xudong's generous words, Liang Shuang stretched out his hand to him and said with a smile:
"A haircut costs 12,000 yuan, and four times a month is 48,000 yuan. I'll give you 50,000 yuan. I also need to buy the latest bag every month, which is also 50,000 yuan. In addition, I need to eat, travel, buy lipstick, buy facial masks, cosmetics, skin care products, clothes, etc. The 100,000 yuan you gave me is not enough for me to spend. Can you give me more in the future?"
"So how much do you need to spend?"
"Let me think about it!"
Seeing that Yuan Xudong seemed to really agree to give him more pocket money, Liang Shuang held his chin with both hands and thought for a while before saying:
"How about two hundred thousand? Two hundred thousand a month should be enough!"
Seeing Liang Shuang asking for too much, Yuan Xudong thought to himself that she was a spendthrift woman. He didn't agree directly, nor did he refuse. He looked at Liang Shuang and smiled.
"We agreed to give you 100,000, so I'll give you 100,000!"
"Stingy!"
"I haven't finished talking yet, please don't interrupt me, okay?"
After glaring at Liang Shuang, Yuan Xudong continued:
"A basic salary of 100,000, and another 100,000 for performance. If you behave yourself, I'll give you 200,000, okay?"
"don't want!"
Seeing Yuan Xudong say this, Liang Shuang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said angrily:
" If you do this, then I will become your pet, right?"
You're almost like a pet now, okay?
While thinking this in his heart, Yuan Xudong refuted seriously on the surface:
"What nonsense are you talking about? What kind of pet is so expensive that it costs two hundred thousand a month? Are you a giant panda?"
"Hate!"
Seeing Yuan Xudong say that he was a giant panda, Liang Shuang was amused by him and thought about how cute the giant panda was and how it was a national treasure:
"You are the giant panda. Forget it. I don't want it. One hundred thousand yuan is enough for me to spend. When I make money in the future, I will return it all to you with interest. You are so stingy!"
"Give it all back to me? There is such a good thing? Then I will make a lot of money, right?"
Looking at Liang Shuang who was deliberately pouting and ignoring him, Yuan Xudong smiled. He liked Liang Shuang's personality and felt it was natural to spend his man's money. Of course, this was when he had money and Liang Shuang's spending did not exceed his bottom line. If he had no money, or Liang Shuang spent millions every month, he would not think she was as cute as she was now, but a damn vampire. Go wherever it's cool!
After arriving at the hotel and parking the car, Yuan Xudong took Liang Shuang's arm and walked into the hotel lobby. He got the room card from the front desk and then went to the suite that had been booked long ago. Just like in the sports equipment room, as soon as they entered the room and closed the door, Yuan Xudong couldn't wait to play ball, which made Liang Shuang roll her eyes. Then she took off her clothes and played with him, making witty remarks and showing spring in the air.
