Chapter 206 Destined
The back door of Dongda University is the night market.
There are part-time students who set up tents here to sell clothes, and there are also many street stalls and snacks.
In order not to attract attention, Jiang Chen asked Shi Qianqian to park the car in advance and walk to the night market.
I thought that with how pampered this girl was, she would not be used to such "commercial fireworks", but to Jiang Chen's surprise, under his quiet observation, the other party did not show any resistance. Instead of being disgusted, he looked around curiously.
"Two pieces of clothing for only one hundred and fifty yuan?"
Shi Xixi stared at the billboard erected by a vendor not far away, with surprise on her face.
Those words are still handwritten.
“Isn’t it incredible?”
Jiang Chen chuckled.
The wine and meat in Zhumen stinks, and the roads are frozen to death.
The gap between the rich and the poor in China today may be no less than that of any previous dynasty.
An ordinary meal for a rich person may be what ordinary people spend for a month or even a year.
This is not artistic processing.
But the real reality.
Bage once shared with them a piece of news that happened in Kyoto. Seven or eight people had a dinner at a private club. However, the bill was exposed for some reason. The meal actually cost more than 600,000 yuan. .
Even though he was as calm as Li Shao at that time, his outlook on life was greatly affected.
The quality of life of the upper class of this society is really unimaginable to the general public.
The public can only see that Li Jiacheng, the former richest man in Asia, usually only carries an ordinary electronic watch, but there is no way to know that he has so many Patek Philippes in his home that they can form a museum.
Height determines the field of view.
What the common people can see is just what someone wants them to see.
“Have barbecue?”
Jiang Chen asked.
“Whatever!”
Miss Shi is not picky.
"Then let's sit outside."
Jiang Chen took her to a small shop where he and Luo Peng had eaten before. The taste was not bad.
"Boss, you two."
"Okay, please take a seat."
The boss greeted him warmly, brought a kettle, and put down a disposable paper menu .
"You guys take a look first, then call me when you're ready."
"Just order whatever you want to eat." Jiang Chen was very proud and pushed the menu to Shi Qianqian.
Shi Qianqian was not polite, looked down at the menu, then picked up a pen and started sketching on it.
The store here is not large, only forty or fifty square meters at best, with a few tables of customers inside.
Jiang Chen poured himself a glass of water.
“Do you come here to eat often?”
Shi Xixi asked while ordering.
"Occasionally, I'm not like you. How can I have the money to eat and drink outside every day."
"Jiang Chen, whether these words are interesting or not, just say so if you don't want to be invited."
Shi Xixi stopped writing and raised her head.
Jiang Chen was speechless.
If he said that he was not evil and was telling the truth, would the other party believe him?
Obviously not.
“You continue to click.”
“I’ve finished clicking.”
Shi Xixi put down the pen.
This girl has an advantage, that is, she has a very strong ability to adjust her emotions. After reapplying her makeup in the car, except for the fact that her eyes inevitably looked a little red, she could no longer tell that she had just cried.
Jiang Chen took the menu and asked the boss to come over.
“I just ordered mine.”
“I’m not hungry.”
"What's the point of eating alone?"
Shi Qianqian once again showed the arrogance in her character and said in an unarguable tone: "You eat some with me."
Jiang Chen There was no argument with her. The most important thing now was to get this aunt to eat and drink quickly and then send her away. After casually adding some vegetables, Jiang Chen called the boss.
“Bring a few bottles of beer.”
Shi Xixi added.
"Okay, wait a minute."
"You're driving, it's best not to drink." Jiang Chen's safety awareness is as good as ever.
“I won’t drink, I’ll give you some.”
Shi Qianqian smiled brightly, full of flattery.
Jiang Chen was speechless and couldn't help but wonder if the person who was crying and crying in the car just now was the same person.
Shi Qianqian acted as if nothing had happened, poured herself a glass of water and took a sip, looking around curiously.
It’s past nine o’clock now, and the neighborhood is still very lively.
Jiang Chen was really worried about whether he would meet someone he knew.
“It’s better to stay in China. I wanted to stay in China at first, but my dad had to send me to study abroad. I was surrounded by foreigners and it was boring to death.”
For this person Jiang Chen had no interest in knowing about his aunt's past, so he just pretended that he didn't hear anything and didn't talk to her.
“Jiang Chen, why did you come to Donghai to study?”
Miss Shi will not let him go.
This kind of question has no nutrition at all.
Can you choose which university to attend in China? Not all applicants are admitted on a voluntary basis.
certainly.
Maybe in this girl's heart, she is the same kind of person as her, and she can choose where to go to school and which school to go to.
“Donghai is the most developed city in the country, I want to come and have a look.”
What Jiang Chen said was still true.
His scores at that time gave him a wide range of choices. The reason why he applied for Tokyo University as his first choice was because it is a city full of miracles.
Like countless people who have worked hard to stay in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, as a child at the time, of course he also dreamed of going to a big city to change his destiny.
But after arriving here, Jiang Chen gradually discovered that this city was different from what he imagined.
The rapid development in modern times has profoundly changed the soul of this land.
It has become uncontrollably vain and impetuous, the air is filled with the smell of money and money, and the supremacy of money is everywhere.
Here, you can deeply feel the insignificance of being an ordinary person.
As the old saying goes.
For the poor, the East China Sea is just the East China Sea, with only the surging Pujiang River and alleys. For the rich, the East China Sea is a magic city where singing and dancing flourish, and a ten-mile foreign town where people sing and sing every night.
"The wine is here, but the food has to wait a while."
The waiter brought a few bottles of Yongdao Tianya.
Miss Shi diligently grabbed a bottle and helped open it.
“Jiang Chen, tell me, is this fate?”
“What fate?”
Jiang Chen is confused.
“If you didn’t come to Donghai to go to school, then we wouldn’t have met.”
Shi Xixi handed over the bottle and looked at him as a matter of course, “So, maybe this is the time It’s fate.”
Jiang Chen laughed dumbly, but he didn't refute.
In fact, according to philosophical theory, what happens and who you meet in a person's life are all arranged, just like a script that has been written in advance, and you are just like a character in a movie The protagonist just goes through it step by step.
So from this perspective, Shi Qianqian’s words are not wrong.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Chen suddenly took out his mobile phone, opened his photo album and deleted all the photos he took at great risk two days ago, and also cleared all the recently deleted photos.
Doing this means that it is impossible to get these photos back.
Shi Qianqian couldn't help being stunned when she saw this.
Jiang Chen put down his cell phone, as if nothing had happened, picked up the wine bottle, and poured himself a glass silently.
Shi Xixi looked at him blankly, suddenly smiled, then took out a new plastic cup, grabbed the opened bottle of beer and started pouring it.
Jiang Chen raised his head.
“You don’t let me drink, because you don’t want to be my friend.”
Shi Xixi looked at him with a gentle curve.
