Chapter Forty-Nine: Fantasy Street Scene
The economic base determines the superstructure.
The first piece of advice Yan Yuzhen gave her was two words: earn, money.
There are thousands of ways to make money, and if you want to get rich, there are only a few ways to go: pornography, gambling, and drugs. Regarding the first article, Dr. Yan just glanced at Gu Lian and did not make much comments, and Gu Lian did not express his opinion out of the idea of not wanting to bring humiliation on herself;
"Is it easy to gamble?" Gu Lian asked him.
However, Yan Yuzhen told her very calmly that when he was young, he was squeezed out by his boss, his salary was collected on his behalf, and when he was poor and couldn't afford to eat, he mixed in the casino.
"I was famous when I was younger. Yan Yuzhen stated the facts with an expressionless face.
...... "Dr. Yan, did anyone tell you that you are also famous now?"
It was an accident that Lu Ke found them, but they had already decided to find a casino. Of course, if Lu Ke hadn't proposed a gamble that had loopholes in Yan Yuzhen's opinion at that time, they should have gone to a place first.
It's a strange feeling when you're walking through the market. Although the low ceilings and hard walls tell people that this is indoors, the changing style and the obvious wealth gap make it seem like a Doraemon's time and space door.
Gu Lian had just struggled through a crowded and exotic street full of Arabian style, and now she was standing on a small street that was obviously sparsely populated. There are very few shops here, and when you look through the glass windows, they are all bookstores.
"Bookstores are all huddled. Can you really make money......" Gu Lian wondered. While the industry can attract customers, it can also lead to product homogenization, as stores are keenly aware of all the best-selling products. If it's a different style of bookstore, it's just that these bookstores look the same, and just from the outside, it's boring.
"Originally, they were scattered all over the base, but two years ago, the base had an order to 'clean up the twilight industry' and move out all the stores whose turnover was below the level set on Center Street. It can only be sold at designated places. ”
"Isn't that forcing you to a dead end......" Gu Lian was speechless.
"The base has never advocated reading. Yan Yuzhen glanced at her, "The medical knowledge and professional textbooks I have learned are all in limited supply. If it weren't for the fact that my father used to be a doctor. There's no way I'm going to study medicine. ”
Professions have never been circulated here, and the greatest freedom that the base gives people is that they can choose to be freelancers.
"What does the base advocate?" Gu Lian asked curiously. In her opinion, it's not just the drab bookstores, the base itself is boring. Aside from its beautiful appearance and very different neighborhoods. It didn't have much of a good place, and she couldn't imagine ordinary people spending their lives here.
There are no mountains, no sea, no fields. There are no pools, amusement parks, or congested highways. People don't know if the sky seen through the glass is real or illusory by technology.
"Sex, drugs, and gambling. Yan Yuzhen replied.
Out of curiosity, Gu Lian learned from a bunch of bizarre successes, eschatological romances, quotations from great people, and yellow books. finally found two books she knew, "The Little Prince" and "Animal Farm". These two books were not popular. Eighteen blue coins were bought, and she left the street with Yan Yuzhen under the farewell of the shopkeeper.
Their destination is a pharmacy. More precisely, a pharmacy that has just opened.
“…… What's going on with this kind of popularity?" Gu Lian originally thought that this street was very prosperous and lively, so it would line up all the way to the door, but the fact was that they were only in a queue;
Yan Yuzhen didn't say anything, just pulled her straight to the pharmacy. Gu Lian felt strange in her heart, but when she saw the people in the pharmacy, she was directly dumbfounded.
Wei ...... Xuan?"
The words "beautiful" and "bright" are too apt to describe this little boy, and in the slightly dim store, as long as you see his peerless face, you will feel like a bright jade, and the soul is stunning.
"Sister?" Wei Xuan raised his eyebrows in some surprise, and with a delicate hook of his slender fingers, he took off the mask, revealing his delicate face completely. Although Gu Lian had seen this face many times, she still couldn't help but feel a beat in her heart, and secretly sighed that this child would be terrible when he grew up.
Well, she didn't want to admit that she swallowed her saliva like a big girl, a little daughter-in-law, a handsome guy and a lewd man in the team.
"Yuzhen, you're here too. Wei Xuan glanced at Yan Yuzhen, and a smile of innocence and charm bloomed, causing another inhalation. He knows too well how to use his charisma to win the trust of others, which is both his talent and the ability that life has given him.
When did they get so close? Gu Lian glanced at him slightly strangely and shrunk her neck. She had seen his dark side, and when she saw the sunny and cute version of Wei Xuan, she felt a chill.
"Sister, are you cold?"
Wei Xuan smiled sweetly, held her slightly cool hand, and said affectionately: "Is it cold? ”
The people at the back of the queue suddenly made an uproar, and a man shouted dissatisfiedly: "Who is this, how can you not line up!"
"It's ......" Some people echoed in a low voice, and more people cast their eyes on Gu Lian with unfair complaints.
This guy ...... Gu Lian grinded her teeth, grabbed his claws affectionately, gritted her teeth and smiled: "I don't care, thank you for your concern, but you are so busy with business, don't be busy with your body, 'brother'." ”
"I'm glad you came to see me. Wei Xuan said softly.
"Doctor Wei, what the hell is this ......?"
The thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl next in line blinked and looked at him with a bright eye.
Oh, hooking up with a little girl at a young age is really a curse. Gu Lianzheng sighed, but Wei Xuan directly led the water to the east, and stared at her with watery eyes: "Yes, what does my sister think I am?" The voice was like a murmur, and the young man's soft voice was ambiguous.
Less of this!
Gu Lian was so frightened that she stepped back, those who were staring at her were too, was there any mistake, no matter how glamorous this little boy was, he didn't look at him as if he was only twelve or thirteen years old!
"I'm him...... What's that, teammate, that's right, teammate!" Gu Lian explained diligently in the little girl's weeping gaze.
"Is that ......" the little girl asked rather plaintively, but her eyes were aimed at Wei Xuan.
"Yes, yes. Gu Lian nodded violently.
Wei Xuan stared at her silently, until he was quite uncomfortable staring at her, then he smiled slightly and said softly: "What my sister says, it is naturally what it is." ”
His words, coupled with that slightly sad smile, directly reduced the credibility of Gu Lian's words to zero. The little girl was amazed by Wei Xuan's expression, and when she looked at Gu Lian again, her eyes were already full of "liar"!
"I'm sorry, my 'teammates' have something to do with me, and the store will be closed for half an hour for the time being. Wei Xuan turned his head sideways and whispered to a small helper, "What about the queue number and drinks that you prepared just now?"
"Ah, that, my lord, it's here!" the little helper was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted and hurriedly responded.
Wei Xuan snorted and laughed, his eyes flowed, and his smile was as beautiful as an early spring cherry blossom: "What an adult, just call me Doctor Wei." ”
"Yes!" the little helper couldn't help but blush.
My lord...... Ah no, it's Dr. Wei, Dr. Wei is so good-looking, even if he is a pure straight man, he can't help but blush and heartbeat after staring at it for a long time...... (To be continued.) )
