Ling Ran concluded: "I later realized that it was impossible for me to get him, and even if I barely got it, I could lose it at any time, and in that case, I would lose even more. So I decided to leave him, study abroad, and go to Columbia for an MBA - since I am not qualified to marry an elite man, let me improve myself and work hard to get into this class on my own. ”

Ling Ran raised her eyes and looked at Li Yuxin silently.

Li Yuxin frowned: "What's wrong?" raised the cup and took a sip.

Ling Ran smiled bitterly again: "Yuxin, well, when you feel that your intelligence is mediocre, your ability is not enough, you can't find the direction of your career, you don't do anything, you waste your time, and you can't achieve anything, so in order to improve yourself, you decide to challenge a higher, quite difficult academic degree, and devote yourself to a rather stressful and challenging career, and then after graduation, you find that you are still mediocre in intelligence, not capable enough, and the previous inaction has nothing to do with your academic qualifications and careers, how will you feel?"

Li Yuxin "poof", and the grapefruit juice in her mouth squirted out. Ling Ran hurriedly took the napkin and infiltrated her: "Please, miss, be decent." If it's a blind date, do you still want to get married?"

Li Yuxin wiped her mouth with a napkin and smiled: "Ling Ran, Ling Ran, you are 28 years old, MBA from a famous North American school, with an annual salary of 500,000, the director of the department of the company to be listed, and you still say that you are not an elite, are you boasting about yourself?"

"Where am I worth that worth. My uncle is the CEO of the company. Ling Ran was embarrassed, "But, Yuxin, let me ask you, what is an elite? Is it a salary, a position, a degree of education? Well, I think it is, and it's not." In fact, these are all labels of the elite. Elites always appear as highly educated, high-level positions and high salaries, but those who have these are not necessarily elites. A rich second generation with mediocre intellectual ability and perseverance, if he was sent abroad by his father since he was a child, and after graduation, he returned to his father's company to hang the title of vice president, and went shopping every day, he can also have all the above characteristics and an elite, or because he was born poor, he has no higher education, or because of opportunities, he has not emerged before the age of 30, or he has the wrong direction when he was young, and he is idle, but they have that potential, and then one day, they suddenly stand out."

Li Yuxin nodded: "I understand what you mean, elite is an internal ability and a temperament. ”

Ling Ran also nodded: "Yes, I think elite is actually a way of thinking, a kind of action, a kind of work attitude, and even a kind of IQ, perseverance and enterprising." My current salary is higher than when Ye Ling was 28 years old, and going abroad has indeed made me gold-plated, but I know in my heart that I will never reach his height, I am just criticizing the coat of the elite, and inside, I am still myself, the top middle class. I'm just a fake elite. ”

"Don't say that, although elite is a temperament, it is not innate, it is all acquired by hard work. Well, now, you can't be called a fake elite, and you can't be considered a real elite, so you can be considered a quasi-elite. Li Yuxin smiled, "The status is embarrassing, you can go up or down." If you go up, you will enter the elite class, and if you go down, you will still be in the middle class. ”

Ling Ran couldn't help laughing: "It seems that I am a middle-class person in my life, maybe I should really marry Qi Junyi, that is the man who is as suitable as me, and he will hold me as a queen for the rest of his life." You don't know how enthusiastic he and his parents were when I came back, and they said they wanted to move back to the city and redecorate their villa. For my son's marriage. There's something wrong, I'm going to make a villa for him. They moved away, didn't my parents have to clean both houses? Phew, it's okay to bully my parents My parents are also happy, Qi Junyi has mixed well in the past two years, and he is a department-level tax administrator, which can be regarded as early," Ling Ran went out shopping, and Ling Ran's parents took the initiative to ask Qi Junyi to come over to accompany her, and the meaning couldn't be more obvious. Ling Ran also understands that the daughter of 28 will be packed and delivered to the door tomorrow if her parents hate it.

"Maybe people will eventually bow to fate. Marriage, in the end, is still a good match. Marrying an elite man, marrying a man who can conquer my heart, marrying a man I truly admire, is just a dream of wishful thinking. Ling Ran couldn't help but be gloomy, "Yuxin, don't they all say that women look up and men look down." Isn't the top middle class the elite, and theoretically, I should be able to reach them on tiptoe. Then why is it particularly difficult for middle-class women to marry elite men. There seems to be no bridge in the middle, and the wives married by elite men are either rich or noble, or elite women like them. ”

"You want to cross the class, and crossing the class is the most difficult thing in the world," Li Yuxin said lightly.

"I've figured out for a long time that men are most likely to be dealt with when their adrenaline hormones are at their peak, that is, in their early 20s, when they fall in love with a woman because of pure hormonal impulses. If you're lucky enough to hit a dead mouse at that time, for example, if the special enrollment happens to be an elite man, you'll put him in your pocket. However, it's not easy to say, men say goodbye to stupidity when they step out of the school gate with their front feet, but women are still dreaming" Li Yuxin's heart flashed with a faint pain, and she began to sneer, "Men are shrewd." What women look up, men look down. You think the man doesn't want to look for it, otherwise Ye Ling is tossing something. They are looking for someone who is equal to their own conditions when they don't have the ability to climb high branches, and if they can't find it, they will find someone worse than themselves, but even so, they have to measure and measure, and they have to find something worth exchanging before they are willing to get married. Samsung mobile phone also needs the woman to buy a house in Beijing in full before she is willing to get a marriage certificate with others. ”

Ling Ran smiled bitterly: "That's right, it took tens of millions of years for the earth to evolve humans to walk upright, just to allow our eyes to see things above our heads. Whether it is a man or a woman, only when the other party's conditions are better than their own, the bad party will be eager to get married, but the other party will delay and dodge, because they are unwilling to be shared by resources. If the conditions of the two are completely equal, it seems that they can get married fairly, but since I have everything you have, why should I come to slap you. Therefore, if both men and women are keen to marry each other, they must have what the other party has in their hands that is not worth exchanging, the so-called exchange of what I have for you, so that the two can run happily on the road to marriage with the same goal. Take a closer look at me, what is there on me that elite men don't have?" Ling Ran straightened her waist.

Li Yuxin narrowed her eyes and looked at Ling Ran for a long time: "Oh, you have breasts and ass." ”

Shao Chengzhi almost squirted out a mouthful of beer, thinking: It's the truth.

Ling Ran was depressed: "Go and go, there is no need to talk about the things that the hair salon sister has." And this thing has been proven by investment bank dogs that it doesn't work at all. ”

Li Yuxin sighed: "Then I really can't think of anything else that an elite man wants in addition to your appearance and figure." And your appearance and figure, to be honest, Ling Ran, you are 28 years old, no matter how beautiful you are, you will be old. ”

Ling Ran suddenly looked like a deflated ball. The two girls fell silent, the waiter served ice cream, and the two began to scoop the dessert with small spoons. Ling Ran said slowly while eating, "Yuxin, do you remember that Wang Xia who shared the bedroom with me?"

Shao Chengzhi's heart moved, and he pricked up his ears to listen.

"Nonsense, four years in the same class. What's wrong?" Li Yuxin wondered, the two didn't have much friendship with Wang Xia, how could Ling Ran suddenly think of her.

"I ran into her yesterday. Ling Ran told Li Yuxin about the process without leaking.

Shao Chengzhi blushed a little, his heart was pounding, he didn't expect Ling Ran to remember everything he said so clearly.

"What is the origin of the man who is with Wang Xia?" Li Yuxin frowned: "Wang Xia's little abacus, who doesn't know, has always wanted to find a man with good family conditions and a house in Beijing, her interests and hobbies are all on those only children from a well-to-do family in the city, preferably a local man in Beijing." But the local men in Beijing who have good education and good jobs can't look down on her, and she can't look down on her without education and no job. This man is a native of the same county as hers, that is to say, he came from the countryside, so why does she like him if she is so attentive?" Li Yuxin has a natural personality, sees six ways and listens to all directions, and knows Wang Xia well.

"WS" Ling Ran shrugged her shoulders, "Whoever is full of food will study her mind." "There are 8 undergraduates in a dormitory, and Ling Ran often turns a blind eye to people and things that she is not interested in, so for Wang Xia, she only knows that she comes from a remote rural village in an economically less developed province, and there are many brothers and sisters in the family.

Ling Ran thought about it and said, "Yuxin, this man should be a returnee from the United States, because what he said about the status of the U.S. green card and international students can't be said by people who have no personal experience." He should be working in a multinational company, and his clothing habits are like that, and he should be doing IT or something like that, because he doesn't seem to be very talkative, but he mentions alternative files and deleted files in one mouth. ”

Li Yuxin looked at Ling Ran: "Well, it seems that this man may be a graduate of a prestigious American school, with a high IQ, a high education, a high salary, and works in a multinational company. Impresses you and interests him a lot. ”
