Self-esteem has little to do with being poor or rich.

People say that the rich want to save face, but in fact, the poor want to save face, but they are forced by the word "life" and can only put down their self-esteem in order to make a living.

There is money in his pocket, I don't know how much it is for the time being, anyway, it must be more than five thousand dollars, Su Mu has just been slapped in the face by a rich man, this money has more or less given him a little comfort, his mother can only earn five thousand dollars after working for three months, he is reluctant to give up this money that makes him unhappy.

But if you think about it carefully, the money is innocent after all, so Su Mu accepted the money, but he hated the young man surnamed Wang.

Even the people who are disgusted with the Wang family are disgusted, because the elders themselves have problems that will educate such poor children.

He used to be proud to learn that there was a super-rich man among the Chinese, but now he doesn't think that way anymore.

Although this little feud has no impact on the Wang family for the time being, Su Mu does not have enough financial resources and not enough power, compared with the current Wang family, the gap is like an ant and an elephant.

He didn't have the confidence to fan it back, thinking that this dumb man was doomed......

******************

After Su Mu completed the admission procedures, he unexpectedly learned from the teacher that Menlo Park Private High School did not have a student dormitory!

To be more precise, it is not a boarding school at all, with just over 400 students, almost all of whom are from Menlo Park and the surrounding area, and is one of the top three private high schools in Silicon Valley, with 95% of the students living near the school and the rest finding their own place to live.

At the gate of the campus, I met Daniel Brown, a student at Menlo Park, the white student who helped Su Mu pick up money and comfort him.

I don't know what kind of hatred he has with Louis Wang, after complaining about Su Muxu, he learned that he was a student who had just transferred to high school, and he enthusiastically took him to sign up.

"Your school is not boarding?"

Hearing Su Mu's inquiry, Daniel Brown, who was still waiting for him at the door, was stunned and replied, "Yes, it has never been, don't you live near here?"

"Hmmm......"

Su Mu had a little headache, his plans were completely disrupted, and he didn't have a dormitory when he came to school.

Originally, he was going to put his suitcase in the dormitory, and then go out to take a look, and said helplessly: "It seems that I was mistaken, I always thought that your Menlo Park is a boarding school, and my home is in Los Angeles, so I can't sleep in the classroom every day." ”

"Los Angeles is a great place, my uncle's house is over there, and I go over every Christmas. After Daniel finished speaking, he felt that now was not a good time to chat, and then asked, "Then what do you do, what did the teacher say just now?"

"He told my family to figure out how to find a way to rent a house in the near future, otherwise I won't have a place to live in the future. ”

The teacher had a very good attitude when I signed up, but the other party couldn't do anything about accommodation, because the school didn't have a dormitory building at all.

Su Mu couldn't help but start worrying that the rent around him was too high, looking at the house price, he knew that the rent in the neighborhood must be very high, and his parents didn't know about it, so he could make do with it in the hotel for the time being, but he couldn't live in the hotel all the time, and he couldn't afford it at all.

The relationship is not good enough to let Su Mu, who has just met, go to his own house to make do for the time being, most Americans think that home is a private space, even if it is a very good friend, they will not rush to each other's house, let alone sleep overnight, Daniel frowned and came up with an idea:

"Or I'll accompany you to find a house?"

"I'm quite familiar with the neighborhood, but I don't know who rents it out, there are a few villas with rental signs hanging at the door, the environment is very good, and the swimming pool. ”

"But I don't think you're alone, you definitely don't need such a big house. It's best to find someone who only rents one room, I mean if you're willing to live with a stranger. ”

Daniel uttered several words in quick succession.

They have just known each other, and they are careful to talk to each other.

Su Mu could guess that Daniel's family conditions were very good, because this guy only thought about whether it was comfortable to live in, but never mentioned money, and it was enough to see from the dress of the other students that the families who sent their children to this school were almost not short of money.

Shaking his head and smiling at him: "Thank you for your kindness, don't bother you, I'll just look for it myself, I should be able to find a suitable house in the next few days." ”

"It's not bothering! It's inconvenient for you to carry your suitcase, you can put it in my closet for the time being, right at the entrance of the classroom, and you should be able to put it down." If you can't do it, let the doorman there, I know him very well, and he used to drive a car for my father. ”

Daniel said with a smile on his face, he was very thin, the same age as Su Mu, but about a head shorter than Su Mu.

Wearing glasses on his face, his appearance is extremely ordinary, and he has nothing to do with the word handsome, no matter how he looks at it, he looks like a nerd type of student, and nerds are completely unpopular in school, not to mention school bullying, and it is difficult to make friends, let alone the opposite sex.

Probably guessed the reason why he helped him so much, maybe he wanted to make friends with him, and he thought that the other party was good, Su Mu hesitated for a while and nodded and replied: "Thank you again, then help me find a house together, if you can, it's best to find it today, if you are not satisfied, then I will go to the hotel first, the hotel has it, right?"

"Yes, there is a five-star hotel near here, my dad is a member, you can get a discount if you go to stay. "Daniel hurt Su Mu very simply, how can he afford to live in a five-star hotel, even if it is a four-star hotel, it will be very painful, and it will hurt whether he discounts it or not.

“…… Thanks, ordinary ones are fine, I don't have much money. ”

Su Mu calmly told him that people are not ashamed of being poor, and they are ashamed if they dare not speak out, American society is not so powerful, and whether or not they can win respect depends mainly on the individual, money worship is very popular, yes, fortunately, there is a bottom line.

After putting away the suitcases, the two left Menlo Park Private High School to look for a house, first went to the real estate agency that Daniel remembered, there were many houses, a villa with a construction area of 160 square meters, the annual rent was 30,000 US dollars, and higher, Su Mu almost vomited blood, if he rented this kind of villa, then what is the point of waving tuition?

Some people rent a car garage to pile up sundries for others, this is not expensive, only 270 dollars a month, but there is nothing, and there are special regulations that can only put things, not people.

The agent said that he couldn't help, there were many people who shared a house in other places, but Menlo Park is a wealthy area, and few people are willing to share a house, and even if they are willing to share a house, the rent Sumu can't afford it.

After coming out, Daniel stood at the door scratching his head, and suddenly saw a student wearing a Stanford University uniform, and said to Su Mu excitedly: "I have a cousin, remember that he rented a house outside, he may have extra room there, let me help you ask?"

"Stanford University, okay, I can buy a bicycle......"
