Evil Emperor Zun

Chapter 1604 Differences Between Urban and Rural Areas ([-])
Xie Shaochen is very satisfied now that he went out for a meal and got a business deal by the way.

Although the man in the jacket didn't make a clear statement just now, Xie Shaochen observed his reaction and knew that he would probably agree.

Emotional courses are a new project launched by the Lianghu Chamber of Commerce. Chairman Xiling proposed at the meeting that as long as they are members of the company, no matter which department they are in, they can find more customers outside and give them a commission in proportion.Employees with outstanding performance can also get an extra month-end bonus.

Xie Shaochen is from the entertainment department, but his job is getting more and more difficult. All the newcomers with some potential are almost all snatched away by those old-fashioned managers, and what is left to him is crooked, so naturally he can't bring them out. What a name.Seeing that his performance was at the bottom of the department time and time again, he was also anxious.No, I just wanted to borrow Yi Xin's script to get some credit for myself.

Therefore, when President Xiling put forward the plan of "everyone has a share", he suddenly became excited.Perhaps compared with other colleagues, he is indeed not as rich and well-connected as them, but when it comes to finding emotional customers, he has an advantage that his colleagues do not have, that is... emotionally, he is enough "miserable" ".

It is his "misery" that makes it easier for him to mingle with those potential customers and resonate with them.Don't underestimate this kind of sympathy. If two excellent people will compare each other and feel jealous, then it is easier for two losers to hug each other for warmth, without defense, because they know that they have nothing to covet.

Become friends, and the rest will be much easier.Things that friends recommend to you casually are often more acceptable to you than strange salesmen.

Xie Shaochen also often "fishes". Once he sees that customers are hesitant, he will take the initiative to say: "This course fee is really expensive, or we can each pay half of the money, and then share one account to attend the class, anyway They are all online courses, who knows that there are two people behind the account."

Clients who were as stingy as him took the bait, thinking that we paid the same price and listened to the lessons of two people, which is a big bargain!So in a hurry, I called the money.But the other party didn't know that Xie Shaochen himself was a member of this emotional company, and his money was always his money, but the money he gave actually went into his pocket.

Xie Shaochen really tasted the sweetness of this new way of making money.Now whenever he is free, he visits emotional-related forums, and his eyes light up as soon as he sees a post complaining.Other people's emotional pain is his way of making money!Even when listening to customers, he will collect these "materials" as a story reserve for himself to sell to subsequent customers.

Performance and bonuses are certainly what he wants to strive for, but more importantly, he still takes the opportunity to get acquainted with President Xiling.

After parting from the jacket man, Xie Shaochen went to the counter first, asked the clerk for three extra packs of ketchup, put two packs into his pocket, and took the remaining pack back to his parents and Yi Xin.

At first, Xie's mother complained that he wasted money, but when she heard that the ketchup was free and she took it at the counter, the old lady smiled brightly.She ran to the counter and asked for one pack after another, saying that "it can be used when I go back to cook."

The two old people were not really used to the fast food in the city, and there was a lot left over, but Mother Xie yelled "don't waste it" and packed up what they had left.If Father Xie hadn't stopped her, she might have taken away the rest of the other tables - if she could take advantage of it, she wouldn't care about unhygienic conditions.

After eating and drinking, they went to the zoo to play again.

Mother Xie is even more troublesome here. Sometimes she runs to the restricted area on tiptoe, and sometimes she feeds the leftover bread crumbs to the animals.Xie Shaochen and Yi Xin had to be coaxed by the side, not daring to relax even for a moment.And they also deeply felt that taking the elderly out to play was like bringing two "old children".

It was hard to stop Mother Xie from feeding the monkeys—because not all tourists are so kind, some animals got sick after eating the food thrown by humans, and I heard that some people intentionally gave animals laxatives.The zoo can't tell whether the food brought by tourists is normal, so it simply prohibits feeding.

But there are also some feeding items here, which require tourists to spend money to buy special feed, the most common one is to feed pigeons.Yi Xin proposed to take Xie's parents to feed the pigeons.

"Thank you very much today." When going to buy feed, Xie Shaochen expressed his gratitude to Yi Xin earnestly.

He also knows that his parents are very difficult to serve, and his own son often has nothing to do with them.But Yi Xin, she was not related to them, and she was willing to accommodate them again and again just for his own sake, and even satisfied many unreasonable demands. He was very moved by seeing it.

What's even more rare is that through his observation, he can confirm that everything Yi Xin does is out of sincerity, not just acting on the spot.She was good for his parents from the bottom of her heart, and she didn't dislike their village style in the slightest.It is really not easy for a girl who has lived in a big city since she was a child to be so approachable.

"My parents came to the city for the first time, and they didn't understand many things. Thank you for being so patient with them."

In this era, the development gap between urban and rural areas is huge.When a native villager enters the city for the first time, it is no different from an ancient person who suddenly traveled to modern times.

The more backward the place, the heavier the ancient traces.Taking Yixi Kingdom as an example, the whole country is still ancient. It is no exaggeration to say that they are hundreds of years behind the development of Tiansheng Kingdom.

Xie Shaochen was actually like this when he first came to study in the city. He didn't understand anything and was curious about everything he saw, but he didn't want to ask other people casually for fear of being discriminated against by them as a countryman.

There was no Internet at that time, and it was not as convenient to search for information as it is now, so at the beginning he tried to talk as little as possible to avoid making jokes when he spoke.At the same time, carefully observe the behavior of other people, and also observe those things that make him curious, see how others use it, and learn it quietly by yourself.

His learning ability is still good, and it didn't take long for him to put on a layer of "city man" skin.

But, that's really just a layer of skin.At first glance, he does look like a city resident, but as long as he gets along with him for a while, he can still clearly feel that he is out of place with the city resident.

What he can't learn is the heart of the people in the city.He is always more greedy than his classmates in the city, and he is always more caring than his classmates in the city.A person in a dormitory goes out to eat, and he never treats guests; he pays all kinds of expenses on behalf of his roommates, and when he comes back, he always quotes the price higher than the actual price, and then covets the difference from it...

After experiencing several things, he found that the way people around him looked at him changed again, with a kind of disdain for "country folks", which was what he tried to get rid of at the beginning.

From then on, he realized that in this world, the fate of people has never been equal.He has worked hard for more than ten years, but he has just stood on the starting line of these urban students.And the huge gap caused by the past ten years has left him far behind.

He felt sad, but there were many things he could do nothing about.

People are poor, so they have short ambitions. These city students have money, and they can spend money generously, but what about themselves?His family is poor, and he has to spend every penny carefully, because he has no capital to waste, and his mentality is destined to be different from theirs.

They looked down on themselves, but Xie Shaochen was not convinced in his heart.They were just lucky enough to be born in a relatively good family, which made their life worry-free. If he had the same background as them, why should he live so uselessly?On the other hand, if they had the same background as themselves, how could they be better than their current selves?
By the way, it was during the initial period of imitation that he developed a habit of observing people and observing them very carefully.He will keep all kinds of details in other people's lives firmly in mind, and he may use them at any time.

In particular, when he found that he could analyze a person's deep character from various life details, he never tired of it.

He didn't say anything about these researched things, because he wanted to firmly hold the character weaknesses of the people around him in his own hands, and waited for the opportunity to be used by him.

He has indeed done it. Almost all the people around him have been pinpointed by him, threatened, or lured, and every time he has gained certain benefits.But this style of work also led to him not even having a single bosom friend.

In his impression, the most successful thing he did was once running for the student union secretary.Although they are still students, each of these people is better at drilling than the other. They will use various methods to curry favor with the person in charge and the mentor.Unfortunately, they don't know what these people really want.

In the end, Xie Shaochen stood out from the crowd of competitors. He may not be the most capable or spend the most money, but he is the one who understands the personality weaknesses of the relevant personnel best.

However, no matter how much he claims to be superior, there are always some hurdles that he cannot overcome.

He later lost the election for student council president.Someone told him that in addition to ability, the student council president also depends on the family background.This means that his rural origin has become a stumbling block for him.

At that moment, Xie Shaochen felt the sadness of being beaten back to his original form.

It turned out that no matter how hard he tried, he still lost at the starting point.

After graduation, this class difference is further widened.

Some people's grades are not very good, but they are directly arranged by their families to enter a good company with a high monthly salary.Xie Shaochen was fawning back and forth, but still he could only circle around at the bottom, and he couldn't get into those high-level circles at all.

His mentality became more and more unbalanced.When he was studying in the village, he was the best among his peers. People in the neighborhood would tell his parents, "Your son will be successful in the future."This made him develop a kind of arrogance early on, and he looked down on those peers.

But after entering the city, all his aura suddenly disappeared, and he began to be looked down upon by others. He was despised and ridiculed, but he couldn't refute it.Because no matter in terms of money or ability, he is indeed inferior to these city people.

This huge sense of gap made him feel a kind of resentment slowly.These city people look down on him, and he also hates these "born noble" city people.So as soon as he got the chance, he wanted to do a little sabotage for them behind the scenes.Even if it hurts others and benefits himself, as long as he can make them unhappy a little bit, he will be much more comfortable.

In the same adversity, some people can still stand upright, fight steadily, and break out of their own world, but some people will have a distorted mentality and take a sideways path.Xie Shaochen is the latter.

Being born humble will indeed reduce a lot of opportunities, but it does not mean that there is absolutely no possibility of becoming a talent.

There are also strong men standing at the apex of the world today, and there are also those who were originally from humble origins.For example, the Nine Venerables of the Nine Nether Palace and the Raksha Ghost Emperor of the Yin Wind Hell were all born in the Dingtian Mountain Range of Yixi Country, which is a "background" in the eyes of the world.But their current status is something that even many big shots have to carefully curry favor with.

Although these two people are only one in ten million special cases, who can say that they will definitely not be able to become this special case?No matter at any time, you can never go wrong if you work hard for your dreams.

Back to the present, Yi Xin's answer brought Xie Shaochen's thoughts back to reality.

"I think, if I suddenly went to an unfamiliar place, I would be very curious, very scared, and I would also need people's care. If the people I meet are willing to help me, I will feel very relieved, But if I ask for help, all I get is contempt, and I will be really hurt."

"Don't do to others what you don't want yourself to do to yourself. I hope to be treated kindly by others, so I will try my best to treat others kindly."

Xie Shaochen nodded silently, and then said with some self-mockery:

"When you went to buy chopsticks before, my parents asked me when we would finish things."

"I told them, you are still studying, and you will not graduate for more than two years, and people in the city don't get married so early, and you will have to work hard for a few more years after graduation. If you say this, you should be able to drag out a few more years. year."

He remembered that at that time, his mother said with an unhappy face: "What career is the girl's family working on? Just stay at home honestly, help you with housework, and take care of the children, won't it be enough?"

Xie Shaochen quickly said: "Ah no, it's mainly me, I want to start a business, and I hope she can help me."

In order to satisfy his mother, he also said: "I think so, she goes to work with me during the day, and when she comes back at night, she will do housework and take care of the children. To marry a wife who can go to the hall and the kitchen, Didn't you earn it too?"

Only then did Xie Mu nod her head: "It's pretty good. But you still have to take care of things at work. A man is the head of the family. Don't tire your wife. In addition, the mother has to tell you You, don't let your daughter-in-law be too accomplished. She has met many people outside, and her heart is fluttering, and she might not like your family..."
