Three Hundred and Twenty, Chasm and Moat
After Ren Xiaosu fell asleep, Miss Xiaoyu suddenly grabbed Yan Liuyuan and asked, "Why didn't you tell your brother about the school?"
"Miss Xiaoyu, please keep your voice down," Yan Liuyuan said, and he pulled Miss Xiaoyu out: "I can't say it."
"Is there anything you can't say, let your brother teach those little bastards a lesson, why is he calling you and Dalong nicknames, and digging through your things," Miss Xiaoyu said angrily.
At this time, Yan Liuyuan said in a low voice: "If you want to teach me a lesson, I can do it myself. But my brother finally came here for sister Xiaojin, how can I make trouble for him at this time."
After Yan Liuyuan entered the school, his classmates immediately guessed his refugee status because of his different understanding of common sense in life.
Yang Xiaojin arranged for Yan Liuyuan to be the best school in the 88 barrier. The students here are not ordinary people, including the parents of many students who are extremely well-informed, so they have long known about the admission of refugees.
At first, the students directly called Yan Liuyuan a homeless person, but later it was rumored that some people even began to call him and Wang Dalong hooligans, anyway, it was only one word away.
The teacher also placed the seats of Yan Liuyuan and Wang Dalong in the last row, and specially left the seats next to them empty.
But from the beginning to the end, Yan Liuyuan didn't respond positively.
For Yan Liuyuan, Ren Xiaosu had already paid too much for him, so it was nothing if he paid a little for Ren Xiaosu.
Early in the morning, Ren Xiaosu took Yan Liuyuan to buy clothes. Since someone invited him and told him to dress more solemnly, there was no need for him to be pretentious.
For this reason, Wang Fugui specially gave Ren Xiaosu all the money he got in exchange recently. Although he didn't know where Ren Xiaosu got the gold, Old Wang knew very well that Ren Xiaosu still had a lot of gold on him, which was beyond his imagination.
Sister Xiaoyu reminded Ren Xiaosu not to waste money, but to dress nicely.
However, when he arrived at the famous clothing store in the barrier, Ren Xiaosu suddenly found that there was no legendary dress in the store.
"Boss," Ren Xiaosu called out to the boss, "Do you have any formal attire? Let us both try."
An old man came out with a measuring tape around his neck and two sleeves on his arms: "Do you want to buy formal clothes?"
Ren Xiaosu nodded: "See if there is anything we can wear?"
The old man looked carefully at Ren Xiaosu and Yan Liuyuan and suddenly said, "Sorry, I can't sell it to you."
"Wait," Ren Xiaosu was surprised: "Why don't you sell it if you have money?"
"It's really not about money," the old man patiently explained: "Our barrier stipulates that if you want to buy formal clothes, you must have a public official status. Moreover, formal clothes are all custom-made here. What are you two doing for tonight's event? This custom-made will take more than 20 days. Now that you have ordered it, you can't wear it."
The old man was very polite when he spoke, and he didn't feel superior. However, the objective facts he said made Ren Xiaosu feel very helpless.
Originally, he thought that Yang's invitation to him and Yan Liuyuan was to show him his financial strength, and that he, a refugee, couldn't afford formal clothes.
But here he realized,
What Yang wants to declare is status.
Ren Xiaosu took Yan Liuyuan out of the store, and he went to look for the tram stop sign, wanting to see which tram could reach Yang's manor.
As a result, he looked at the station sign for a long time, but he couldn't find the station marked Yang's Manor on the station sign.
Ren Xiaosu asked the passers-by beside him, "Hi, may I ask how can I get to Qingyang Manor by car?"
The passer-by was surprised: "Qingyang Manor? Are you going there? Why are you going there?"
Ren Xiaosu explained: "We are going to attend Yang's dinner tonight."
"Haha," the passer-by laughed, "You're so funny, you have to drive there to attend the dinner, who would take the tram there? People who live there don't need to squeeze the tram like us every day!"
At this time, Ren Xiaosu understood that there was no tram leading there. If he wanted to go there, he had to take a tram to get there, and then walk more than ten kilometers to get there.
The so-called tailor-made formal suits, as well as the vehicles to sit in the dinner party, are like a gap between refugees and financial groups.
Under that barrier rule, the gap in the human class is like an insurmountable moat, which cannot be filled even with money.
In the eyes of the consortium, money is quicksand in the hands, and power is the fortress that guards money.
"Brother," Yan Liuyuan said in a low voice, "They did it on purpose."
"Yes," Ren Xiaosu nodded.
I'm afraid the other party has already figured out that they can't buy a suit that fits at all. The consortium uses their brains to deceive people.
Yan Liuyuan thought that with Yang Xiaojin around, maybe the barrier would slowly start to accept them, so he would rather wrong himself, thinking maybe it would be fine after a while?
But he suddenly realized that the other party would only get worse, Yan Liuyuan asked in a low voice: "Why don't we go?"
Ren Xiaosu said with a smile: "Go, why not go, before leaving the barrier, let's also go and see how the consortium's feast is going."
They went home at noon, only to see Luo Lan eating and drinking in the yard. Luo Lan was overjoyed when she saw the two of them: "Didn't you say you were going to a banquet? Why are you back so soon?"
Ren Xiaosu was also amused, it was obviously a decent dinner, but it turned out to be very cheap in Luo Lan's mouth.
Ren Xiaosu had nothing to be ashamed of: "We went shopping for clothes in the morning, but when we got to the store, we were notified that we had to make orders in advance, and we had to have a strong official status, and the tram didn't go there."
Luo Lan frowned upon hearing this: "Didn't they invite you in advance, and didn't they send a car to pick you up?"
"No," Ren Xiaosu shook his head.
"These bastards are deliberately deceiving people," Luo Lan slapped the table and stood up. "It's too shameful. I'll go with you later. Let's wear casual clothes, take the tram, and walk! Let's see which bastard dares to gossip behind your back! I also received the invitation, but I didn't intend to go!"
As he spoke, Luo Lan lit up the invitation card in his arms, which was exactly the same as Ren Xiaosu's and the others.
Ren Xiaosu looked at Luo Lan with a smile: "What are you trying to do?"
"I can't eat your food for nothing, can I?" Luo Lan wiped her mouth: "And we are friends, friends!"
"Aren't you afraid of being blindsided with us?" Ren Xiaosu said with a cheerful smile.
"Hey," Luo Lan said with a smile, "Although I'm a hostage now, I'm also the most valuable hostage in the entire Southwest. They all know who Qing Zhen is. It's understandable that the Yang family wants to hold me hostage, but some inconspicuous little characters want to embarrass me. It depends on whether they are qualified. Even if I killed someone in this fortress, they dare not do anything to me. Now the Qing family is in charge of Qing Zhen. Qing Zhen, who has revenge! That's my brother!"
