Chapter 70: Those who have learned before and after are the first
More than an hour later, a themed afternoon tea on the top floor of Deji Plaza.
Poppy found Nick in the dust and sat down across from her.
It is 20 kilometers from Xianlin University Town to Xinjiekou, and considering the traffic congestion in Jinling City, it is already remarkable to come so quickly.
Yu Meiqin didn't put on makeup, so she took a wet towel and slapped her face when she sat down.
Snickle ordered two Jamaican coffees and some delicate desserts. When I was still shopping downstairs, I bought a small gift for Yu Meiqin.
After all, after working together, Yu Meiqin is so sensitive and cares about her, Shi Nicole is still a little moved in her heart.
"Sister Mai Trin, I just saw this Tiffany's black pearl hairpin, which is quite suitable for your hairstyle at this stage, so I bought it on my own initiative, I hope you like it. ”
Shi Nicole said, while Yu Meiqin was still tidying up, she pushed the jewelry box with the hairpin over.
Yu Meiqin was not polite, took the jewelry box, opened it and took a look, and subconsciously felt like it.
When she first entered college, Yu Meiqin still had a hearty short hairstyle.
After all, Yu Meiqin in high school had no distractions, and she didn't care at all what boys thought of her image, and she usually did things neatly when she cut her hair short. If others like to be pretty, they think it's good, and if they don't like it, they can do it as they please.
However, since the second college entrance examination was transferred to law school, Yu Meiqin herself has not unconsciously cut her hair short. For more than a year, I have basically repaired it a little bit, or done hair care.
Nowadays, hair can be slightly draped, which is the most difficult transition period for hairstyles. It looks messy and can't be "black and straight", and it is difficult to tie up the hair.
The hairpin that Nickle Shi gave her, the specifications and styles and the scale of the hair bundle just fit her current length.
"Thanks, it's rare that you still remember my hairstyle so clearly. Yu Meiqin sighed and thanked her, which was regarded as exposing the topic and did not mention the money.
Everyone is rich, and what they care about is whether the other party really treats you as a friend and cares about their own details.
As for whether the gift you buy is expensive or not, it doesn't matter, and you won't go to your heart.
Of course, Yu Meiqin doesn't care whether it's expensive or not, it doesn't mean that she doesn't know the goods.
In fact, many of Tiffany's small things with a strong sense of design are extremely expensive. It is normal for a black pearl hairpin to sell for tens of thousands of yuan.
It also has a thousand-dollar paper clip (that is, a paper clip, but it is made of platinum), and the appearance is completely unremarkable.
Yu Meiqin took a few sips of Jamaican coffee, and did not avoid suspicion, grabbed Shi Nicole's hand and asked, "Why did Xiaoxiong break up with you? Is it because he was punished for a mistake last time? I don't think he is such a ruthless person." I'm afraid you won't be able to open it. ”
"Actually, I've been brewing a breakup for a long time, I can't keep up with his rhythm, and my feelings have faded......," Shi Nicole subconsciously explained, without going through her brain.
The main reason is that the caliber of the counterpart confession that she and Feng Jianxiong discussed in advance is like this.
"What about the deceitful ghosts! Do you take me as a sister? This kind of talk also deceives the people who eat melons, and we don't know how long he will be good with you? Yu Meiqin's retort was almost in response, and her tone was as if she were humming from her nostrils.
With a hint of annoyance at not being trusted.
"It's that I didn't make it clear, sister, don't be annoyed. Shi Nicole knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she hurriedly stretched out her other hand and sincerely held Yu Meiqin's right hand with both hands.
"It's all my fault that I've been messed up and a little confused these days, how could I deliberately lie to you. In fact, Brother Xiong and I have been brewing for almost half a month.
At first, I proposed to break up on my own. He didn't want to hurt each other's face, and he didn't want outsiders to think of the fuse of the breakup, so he arranged this public way and asked Senior Sister Ding to help sing the double reed. ”
Yu Meiqin was shocked when she heard this, slowly withdrew her hand from Nickole's hand, and pretended to be calm and took a sip of coffee.
"Xiaoxiong is such a good boyfriend, Nicole actually took the initiative to break up?
But out of politeness, she didn't say these words.
"I'm still worried about you - since Xiaoxiong disclosed it on the show, I called you to see you turn off your phone, and I thought you couldn't think of suicide!
Yu Meiqin muttered a few words, and punched Shi Nicole twice, which can be regarded as angry: "Even if this hairpin card is your reparation for scaring me in vain, we will settle it! Don't think I care about you, I'm afraid that you are still in the name of a person from the Legal Aid Center after all, if something really happens, I can't afford to do it!"
Shi Nike knew that Yu Meiqin was just embarrassed, so naturally she wouldn't poke it. The other party could think of it for the first time, and she was already very grateful.
The two ate some desserts, Yu Meiqin naturally wanted to ask about the details, and Shi Nicole naturally stated the reason why she and Feng Jianxiong took the initiative to break up, and the details naturally did not need to be repeated.
When Yu Meiqin heard this, she felt incredible at first, but after empathizing with herself, she could understand seven or eight points.
It's Shi Nicole herself, who has been brewing for half a month, and has a little more mature experience. Finally, she added:
"Sister Mai Trin, if you think about some things like this, you can figure it out: if you can get a boyfriend who earns hundreds of thousands of dollars a month now. You are together, you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life, famous cars, luxury houses, jewelry, luxury brands, and you can buy them every year, and you can also go on vacation, travel, diving, yachting, surfing, golf, and ......
You can even invest in a reliable investment fund, allocate some insurance assets, and bring your children to a good material life and receive the best education.
At this time, does it make sense for you to turn this hundreds of thousands a month into millions? No, no. You have nowhere to spend the extra money, unless it's a pure comparison fee. So the extra millions per month will add zero or almost zero to your happiness in life.
However, if your boyfriend and husband have to become a controversial public figure because of this, maybe tens of millions of people think he is good, but there must be black, in this world where social transparency is so high and will get higher and higher, a little black people can make you unhappy.
Those well-known people on blogs, millions of followers, in fact, there are tens of thousands or even 100,000 people spraying them every day.
Or even more humble, those platinum writers on the Internet, while making money, curry favor with the mentally handicapped, there are countless people who sell their knowledge to spray them shamelessly. If you make 100,000 people, 10,000 people will scold them, and if you make 1 million people, 100,000 people will scold them.
Or Chen Tianqiao and Shi Yuzhu in previous years, or Chi Yufeng today, or some famous entrepreneurs in the online game industry who will rise in the future and we can't think of it.
It's cool for them to make money, but how many people say 'Chen Tianqiao scourges the student file, and he deserves to die that the whole family gets cancer' - he did get cancer later. How many people sprayed 'Chi Yufeng and Shi Yuzhu's strengthened equipment is too pit, and they deserve to die for the whole family'? These people's families, they don't have a strong heart, can they stand it?
There is more and more money, but the happiness brought by money has not increased, and the growth of side effects has been infinite. So, if you and I are just people who pursue happiness, shouldn't we stop in time and retreat from the rapid stream at the inflection point of the money stock with the highest sense of happiness?
I have enough money to spend, I don't have to be scolded, I know that someone cares about me, and I can relax with my lover when I want to experience love, I think this is enough for me in my life. ”
Nick Shi's words are quite restrained, after all, she is limited by her personal knowledge.
If Feng Jianxiong is asked to polish it, it will definitely add more encounters of Internet celebrities in the new media era.
For example, those Internet celebrities in the live broadcast industry often gamble on "XXX will kill the whole family", who dares to be his whole family?
Another example is that those games are sold to be used by 80 million people, and in fact, how many people spray "XX pesticide dog roll" on the Internet - maybe it is far more than 80 million, but hundreds of millions.
It's just that the insults of these hundreds of millions of people can't be turned into a decrease in GDP, nor can they burn the money of game operators, so they look glamorous on the books.
But people are doing it, the sky is watching, and they know that they are cursed by hundreds of millions of people, and unless the parties have the extremely cheeky and psychological quality of one out of 100 million, they will always be unhappy.
Shi Nicole is just an ordinary person, she doesn't have such a cheek.
……
"I didn't expect you to live to understand this far. I can't do it. Yu Meiqin seemed to accept too many negative emotions and too many dark thoughts for a while, and she couldn't spend a little time for a while, and she was stunned.
After a long time, she asked tentatively, "Nicole, but what did you just say...... It's just that 'more money is not necessarily happier, but it is possible to be unhappy because of more and more scolding and curses'.
However, if you decide to break up with Xiao Xiong, you will lose more than just extra money! Won't even the great happiness brought about by the very fact of 'becoming his wife' offset the discomfort of being criticized behind your back? Wouldn't you want to follow Xiao Xiong through the difficulties and share the joys and sorrows?"
"Of course I can share his ups and downs, and we've been through them. His life will only get better and better in the future. Shi Nicole didn't think about it, and replied bluntly as a matter of course, "What I gave up is just a name, I know what kind of attitude he has always had towards me, it's enough."
What is the essence of marriage? It is nothing more than that women should be supported by men, old people should be supported by young people, and children should be supported by their parents.
In the Nordic countries, everyone is forced to pay social security, high taxes, and does not need to support children. There are rewards for childbirth, and if the child is not well raised, the custody is deprived and handed over to the state. Men and women are completely equal in the economy and women don't need men to support them - so their non-marriage rate has been more than 40%, I read relevant research, maybe in a dozen years, it can rise to more than two-thirds of people will never marry or divorce for a short time. Wouldn't it be nice if everyone was happy?"
Yu Meiqin fell into a complete stupor.
She couldn't figure out why she just let go once, and then in just half a month, the poor girl from the small county town of Tongzhou became so enlightened, and even had a tendency to be more open than a rich lady like her.
"Perhaps, it's just because she's been through more emotionally than I do...... Well, it must be like this, it's definitely not that she has a higher IQ and EQ than me, I don't recognize it. Yu Meiqin secretly thought in her heart, and her heart was a little more comfortable.
