Chapter 1: The self-esteem of the little people

Next Chapter

Towards noon, the May sun has begun to slowly show its full enthusiasm!

In the classroom of the second class of the senior high school, the students were listlessly attending the last class of the morning.

Chengyu High School is not a key high school in Jizhong City, so the teacher's requirements for students are not strict, and with today's temperature of 30 degrees, the teacher really does not have much energy to care whether the students are listening carefully or not.

Seeing that class was about to end, a tall thin man sitting in the penultimate row turned his head and said to me, "Shunzi, where are you going to eat at noon?"

My full name is Ouyang Shun, it sounds like a tall name, in fact, I am very ordinary, I look average, I don't study well, usually teachers and classmates can't remember that there is such a person as me when they don't clean up, so I should sit in the last row.

The thin man in front of me is called Li Xiao, who is a neighbor with me, and an iron buddy who I have played with since I was a child. He is 1.85 meters tall, but he weighs only 110 pounds! From a distance, he looks like a bamboo pole, so everyone calls him a bamboo pole, so that many people forget what his real name is.

"Cafeteria, where else can I go?" I casually returned.

Since my parents are laid-off workers, my usual income is to support a breakfast stall selling steamed buns and soy milk, so my monthly living expenses are just enough for me to eat in the canteen and not go hungry.

His father opened a hardware store, and when the business was good, he could earn 18,000 a month, but when the business was bad, it was only 2 or 3,000 a month, but he was always richer than my family.

"Don't eat in the cafeteria today," said Zhugan, "At noon, my dad invited a customer to dinner, and it happened to be near here, so the two of us went over to eat together." ”

"Is this good?" I said, "Don't delay Uncle Li from talking about business!"

"What are you polite to the two of us! That's it, we'll leave after class in a while!"

"Okay, okay then!"

As we were talking, the bell rang for the end of class, and as soon as we put away our books, we walked out. When I arrived at the school gate, I asked, "Where is Uncle Li having a treat?"

"Fanhai Hotel," the bamboo pole had a smug look in his eyes, "How is it?

I was shocked, Fanhai Hotel, but a famous five-star hotel in Jizhong City, where the food is not cheap, and there are places where rich people go.

"It seems that Uncle Li has received a big order, and if he can invite someone to eat in such a good place, then I will follow suit!"

After speaking, the two of us stopped a taxi and took a taxi to the door of Fanhai Hotel.

I got out of the car and looked, it really deserved to be a five-star hotel, the golden gate was higher than the roof of our house, and the worst car parked at the door was also a Buick business car.

For a poor student like me, it was really the first time to come to such a place, so I looked around very unproductively, and saw every corner that I had never seen in my life.

Just then, I heard a roar, then a gust of wind blowing past me, followed by a sharp braking sound. I felt my whole body tighten, and I was stunned for a moment!

"Shunzi, be careful!", the bamboo pole grabbed my arm and pulled it to the side.

"You're blind, can't you see anyone!" The bamboo pole suddenly became furious, turned around and stretched out his index finger to point at the car and roared!

At this time, I reacted, and I felt a cold sweat coming straight out of my back! I turned around and looked at it, the car was a silver-gray Mitsubishi sports car, I can't say what the specific model was, but it didn't look like a bargain. I know we can't afford to mess with this kind of person, but the scene just now really scared me, and my heart is also very angry!

After scolding the bamboo pole, a boy in his 20s slowly came down from the car, almost one meter eight, and his figure looked very well-proportioned. He has a big back similar to a fat brother, and he is wearing a light blue casual suit, a standard rich and handsome!

He walked up to the two of us, tilting his head slightly, like looking at two bed bugs, not wanting to look at them directly. "Where did you come from, two hillbillies, can you come anywhere?"

"You almost hit someone, are you justified?" said the bamboo pole angrily.

"In this era, if you have money, you have a reason, and you can stay where you are poor!" said the young man in blue with his hands in his trouser pockets and a look of disgust.

"You..." the bamboo pole was choked by him and couldn't speak, and he raised his hand angrily to make a move. I quickly grabbed him from the side, although I was also very angry, but I really wanted to make a move, even people like us would not be played to death! Even if we beat him, if he found someone to retaliate afterwards, it was not something we could afford. Or call the police, and let us go to the police station for a few days.

"Forget it, bamboo pole!" I persuaded him, "we can't afford to mess with this kind of person!"

The bamboo pole turned his head and looked at me in surprise and said, "Shunzi, why are you so cowardly!"

When I said this, I immediately felt very uncomfortable. I knew that the bamboo pole was doing this to give me a head, so I didn't contradict him.

Just when we were arguing, suddenly a person ran out of the hotel door in a hurry, and I saw that this was not Uncle Li. As soon as the bamboo pole turned around, he also saw it, and hurriedly waved his hand and shouted to Uncle Li, "Dad, come here!"

Unexpectedly, Uncle Li trotted all the way over, glanced at the bamboo pole and didn't speak. Hurriedly stretched out his hands and said to the young man in blue, "Zhang Shao, you're here! What's going on?"

After Uncle Li finished speaking, I glanced at the bamboo pole and knew that something was going to happen. This Zhang Shao is likely to be Uncle Li's big customer.

Zhang Shao looked at the situation in front of him and said, "I don't know where they came from, I pointed my nose and scolded me as soon as I got out of the car!

"Zhang Shao, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! You have a lot of adults, my son has made me spoiled since he was a child, don't take it to heart!" he said, turned his head and scolded with a bamboo pole, "Don't hurry up and apologize to Zhang Shao!"

"I apologize to him? He almost bumped into Shunzi, and I haven't made him apologize yet!"

"You..." Uncle Li raised his hand angrily and was about to hit the bamboo pole, but I quickly stretched out my hand to block the bamboo pole and said, "Uncle Li, Uncle Li, don't be angry! ”

At this time, Zhang Shao next to him said, "Boss Li, since this is the case, I don't need to enter the decoration materials of Liuyuan Community from you! If it weren't for Mr. Wang Wenxuan and Mr. Wang who greeted me, do you think I would have set screws and hinges in your little shop?"

"Don't don't," Uncle Li hurriedly smiled and said, "Mr. Wang, that has been my good friend for many years, for Mr. Wang's sake, don't worry about these children!" After speaking, he scolded again, "Why don't you quickly apologize to Zhang Shao, see that I don't break your legs!"

The bamboo pole also opened his mouth to refute, I quickly pulled him, looked at his eyes and shook his head slightly, signaling him not to talk back.

I know that if the bamboo pole continues to talk back, it is likely to mess up Uncle Li's business. But it was obviously this Zhang Shao who almost hit someone, and he turned around and asked us to apologize to him. I felt a pang of grievance in my heart! I knew it was because we didn't have any money!

I clenched my hand tightly, but I still turned my head to Zhang Shao and smiled, "Zhang Shao, I'm sorry!

"Hmph!" Zhang Shao made a sound from his nose and turned around and walked towards the hotel. Uncle Li glanced back at the two of us, and hurriedly followed in!

"Damn!" After Uncle Li went in, the bamboo pole said angrily. "Shunzi, I'm sorry. I was supposed to bring you here to eat something delicious, but it turned out to be this kind of thing!"

"Hey, what's the matter, nothing! Let's go, I'll treat you to ramen." It's not worth being angry for this kind of person!" I said with a smile as I put my arms around the bamboo pole.

"Okay!" said Bamboo Pole and laughed.

We turned and walked out...
