After a personal introduction by the hostess Song Hao's mother, Jia Youwei was quickly accepted by their small circle. There's also brevity in them.

In addition to inviting classmates, good friends, alumni, neighbors, etc., the last person who can not be forgotten is the homeroom teacher.

Simplicity is a good teacher who always wants to be neutral, that is, not to get too close to the parents of his students. However, she is first and foremost human, so it is inevitable that she will be vulgar.

Even if I have just graduated from college and joined the workforce, I know that the importance of networking and circle expansion is self-evident. If you don't have acquaintances, especially if you go to a good hospital, run errands in government agencies, and queuing and running around can make you go from a good mood of singing a song to a nameless fire and wanting to hit someone.

People are in society, who dares to guarantee that one day they will not ask for others? Therefore, you have me, I have you, mutual benefit, and the circle culture has become everyone's consensus.

People here are not fools, they have been mixed in society for many years, and they will only accept people who are of high class, the same class, and beneficial to themselves, and will not accept people who are of low class and unfavorable to themselves. Xie Yu's father was ostracized, and it was inevitable.

"What are you talking about? "Song Hao's mother loves literature or something, it's just something for window dressing.

Even if she occasionally looks at it, it is to find common topics with people in the circle. Talk about fashion, eat and drink, travel, etc., and if you talk a lot, you can feel that it is more or less cheesy.

"We're talking about the United States. Should we send our children abroad to study? Teacher Jian Jian said that domestic education is already very good, and there is no need for it at all.

However, she said that she has a good education abroad, and after finishing elementary school, she plans to send her child to the United States to study, so that she can be admitted to one of the Ivy League universities in the future. ”

Of course, Yang Fan's mother didn't know that her son and the other party's son were rivals. Even if she knew, she would only smile slightly, and she would only treat all this as a play between children.

Anyway, he and Song Hao's mother are still quite close and have a common topic. In addition, there are two companies that have common interests to cooperate.

"Mr. Jia, what do you think?" After Song Hao's mother sat in the middle of everyone, she wanted to know more about Jia Youwei, so she threw the topic that took over to him.

"I haven't been to the United States, so I can't talk about it. To talk about such a topic, I am afraid that people who have lived in the United States for one or two decades and integrated into its mainstream society can be talked about. Jia Youwei deliberately hid the fact that he had been to the United States, half-truths.

"Everyone is just small talk, don't be so serious. Just casually say what you think about the United States. Song Hao's mother smiled slightly.

"I believe America is not a paradise on earth either. The American Dream belongs only to highly qualified people, talents, and upper-middle-class people who are useful to the country and have a skill.

I once read a book called "My Life at the Bottom," which was written by Barbara Allenschweig, an American journalist, based on her own experiences.

The people at the bottom of the United States are not running and struggling for three meals a day. They are most afraid of losing their jobs, and they are also suffering from the lack of an increase in hourly wages.

There are still people who live without dignity and submit to all inequalities in order to survive. After paying the rent, even eating became a problem.

As written in the book, the huge irony that employees who promote Walmart can't afford to buy the product. If you don't have money, you work more, and you are busy every day, but it feels like the busier you are, the poorer you are. Jia Youwei said slowly.

He paused, took a big sip of the cup of water on the long table, held it in his hand and did not put it down, and then said: "Actually, it is easy to explain the problem, that is, the added value of labor is too low, so that the wage income cannot be increased. If you don't have money in your hands, it is natural that it is difficult to improve your quality of life.

You don't like low income and don't do it, so there are a lot of people waiting in line to do it. So, you have to do it again. As for the resolute way, it is natural to think of studying, going to university, or learning a technology.

Isn't the income higher after graduation? However, the question is, how can this money be solved? Not everyone can get a loan. Even if it passes, it will pay a large amount of interest in the future.

Not only that, but after 8 hours of work almost non-stop serving dishes, you will only think about rest when you get home, and it is difficult to have anything else. This is the most realistic and true feeling of the writer himself.

There are 30 million cheap laborers out of a population of 320 million in the United States, working as waitresses, janitors, nursing home helpers, and Walmart salespeople.

They have tried their best to survive even the basics, so do they still have the money to pay for medical insurance? KFC, McDonald's and other fast food are just casual Americans can eat, they can eat every meal, what kind of poor people's canteen.

Wrong, very wrong. After you have paid the necessary rent, water, electricity, etc., the American families living at the bottom can not eat as much as they want, but can only eat once a month.

And the boss would rather throw the unsold meatloaf or something in the trash than let the employees go home. A cup of Starbucks coffee will also make them feel luxurious.

This is not unique to our city, and it is a way of life that they have not chosen. ”

Jia Youwei continued: "The middle class in the United States is shrinking day by day, and life is becoming difficult. They are still afraid of losing their jobs.

The root of this lies in the American financial system, when you have a job, it will come to you and provide you with all kinds of preferential loans, prompting you to buy a house, buy a car, buy anything you want.

Once you lose your job, you can't repay your loan and you lose everything. And it will also unceremoniously contact the judiciary to seize and auction off all your belongings so that they can be used to pay off the arrears.

The average American is 40,000 dollars in debt, and young Americans, known as millennials, are considered rich if they do not owe money. ”

As soon as these words came out, the women present were directly silent. The worst of them are also middle-class, and they don't understand the hardships of life at all.

At most, they have no money to travel, no money to buy luxury bags, no money to enjoy big meals, etc. In the past, they received almost all good news from the United States, that it was the world's number one superpower, that everybody was rich, everybody lived in a detached house, and so on.

Even if there is bad information, it is nothing more than some kind of racism and the like. Where will you know that there are bones buried under this gold?
