Chapter Twenty-Three: A Reunion

Qi Fan and Ji Lian didn't stay in the brain-like body for too long, because the parent-teacher meeting ended quickly.

After getting off the brain-like body, Ji Lian graciously offered to ride a bicycle to send Qi Mi to the gate of her school. Before entering the school gate, Qi Fan made an appointment with him: "When do you think I will go to the brain-like body next time?" ”

"You can come if you want." Ji Lian said, "Anyway, my mother probably doesn't care about me." He thought for a moment and said, "But it's still the weekend." There are a lot of people online during the day on weekends, and the situation is still quite dangerous like today, but fortunately they met the autumn harvest. ”

"I think that's too much of a coincidence." Qi Fan said.

"Whew, what's this?" Ji Lian waved his hand, "The inner circle is such a big place, where the zombies are dense and the autumn harvest is there, it's not surprising that you just happened to meet it." ”

That's just as well. And as Chong Jilian said before, the autumn harvest will "steal" the zombies hunted by others, maybe he would have been squatting there and waiting.

"Then I'll go again this Saturday." Qi Fan said, "I have to find a way to fool my mother." ”

"Let's just say you're going to do group work." Ji Lian shrugged.

That's right. Qi Fan suddenly thought that because of the danger of virtual elementary school in the brain-like body before, she almost never went to participate in any classmate activities alone. In this way, there are actually advantages to attending a physical school, at least because the real world is not so dangerous, and she has full freedom.

And it looks like this, in fact, her upper brain-like body is not so dangerous. It seems that as long as it doesn't arouse her strong emotions, nothing will happen.

——

When Qi Fan returned to school, she saw her grandfather looking for her in the school, and even went to ask the grade director. When he saw Qi Mi appear at the staircase, the grade director breathed a sigh of relief: "Qi Mi, where have you been?" Parents are looking for you. ”

"I ...... I went to the library......" Qi Mi said with an unchanging face, "Go and return the book." ”

In this era, not many people read paper books, but as a physical school with a lot of feelings, "nostalgic" places like libraries are still open.

"Well, this kid, why don't you say it first." Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong reproached, but her tone was not angry at all.

It's really not a big deal to go to the library to return the books, because Qi Mi did well in the midterm exam, and the grade director's attitude towards her is inevitably better than that of ordinary students: "Okay, pay attention in the future." Then he said to Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong and Mr. Qi Zhiguang, "The results of Qi fans have always been very good. You don't have to worry about your feet, there are alternatives to those that don't fit in PE. ”

"Well, thank you, Mr. He." Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong nodded to the head of the grade, and gently patted Qi Mi's shoulder, "Mimi, goodbye to the teacher." ”

Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong treats Qi fans like children, which makes Qi fans feel a little embarrassed. However, she thought in her heart that her grandfather was really good to her, and he flew back to hold a parent-teacher conference for her, even if it was a little embarrassing to treat her as a child, she should be grateful.

——

When Anton came to pick up Qi Mi, he was very surprised to find that Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong and Mr. Qi Zhiguang, who were supposed to be on vacation in Beihai, were also there.

After hearing about the parent-teacher meeting, he instantly understood that it was Mimi who deliberately didn't tell them and went directly to find his grandfather. But in front of his grandfather, he still said calmly: "We haven't been going to the parent-teacher conference, and I'm still afraid that their teachers and classmates will know about Mimi's relationship with the brain-like company." I didn't expect that this time the teacher had to ask to go, so it was the only way. ”

"Well, it's okay, we just want to come back too." Mr. Qi Zhiguang said lightly, "We are not used to eating in Beihai. ”

Ever since they knew about Anton's poor background, the old couple treated him like a son. And since the brain-like body began to be commercialized, Qi Min has become a successful person beyond ordinary people's imagination, and the old couple knows that their daughter no longer has to worry about others, so they begin to care more about Anton, the "godson".

"Send a WeChat message to Lele and ask her to go out and buy some green leafy vegetables." Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong also said, "She is now at home and addicted to games, right?" ”

Qi Min is indeed in the brain-like body with an ordinary player's account, and he can't work as an ordinary player. But Anton still said: "No, she wasn't off work when I came out." ”

Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong also knows that her daughter has never left work after six o'clock, but there is no need for Anton to cover her up. Who made Qi Min the inventor of the brain-like body, and the great contribution naturally has "privileges" - to some extent, this is also a kind of alienation.

However, alienation is also a common thing in today's capitalist society, and even Qi fans are still dissatisfied with the lack of "alienation". According to the literature of the old era, the rich people of the upper class should have a "shelf", and the meaning of their existence is to be the manager of this world, and the rich second generation like herself should also study diligently and take over the "unification" in the future to maintain the stable operation of the business empire.

From a more succinct point of view, her idea can be summed up as "the alienation of the bourgeoisie into the tongue and tongue of capital". It's just that Qi Fan doesn't know what "capital" is and what is "bourgeoisie", so he can only come up with such an idea similar to "monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons".

(Note: "Monarch and Minister, Father and Son" here mainly refers to the clear distinction between superior and subordinate levels, emphasizing the order between different classes, while "alienation" emphasizes the replacement of its inner personality with a single attribute of the class)

——

Anton sent a message to Qi Min when he was stuck in traffic on the road, asking her to hurry out of the brain-like body to "welcome" the old couple who came back from vacation. So when they arrived at the door, they saw Qi Min standing in the courtyard outside with his coat on, pretending to be sweeping the floor.

Although it can be seen that her lazy girl is pretending, Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong can't help but feel satisfied: at least her daughter's mind is not corrupted by money, and she still knows that "labor is glorious".

To be honest, when there was no brain-like company, Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong learned that Qi Min had been "parasitic" with Anton when he was studying for a doctorate, and her heart was almost cold. She also thought that her daughter had really become a waste of firewood who was so lazy that she couldn't even cook and clean up the house by herself, so she could only keep going.

But now it seems that although Qi Min has always been addicted to games, and only occasionally gets up to pretend, she really hit the luck and created such a thing as a brain-like body. This probability is no less than buying a lottery ticket and winning 10 million, right? But she really caught up with her.

Therefore, whether a person is successful or not may not really depend entirely on talent and hard work. In this era, the difficulty of achieving a class jump is like changing one's life against the sky, and most of it depends on luck.
