Reborn Cultural Empire

Yuezhou is a city in the Yangtze River Delta. Except for the first-tier megacities in the whole country, the rest of Yuezhou can be regarded as a good place in the first sequence.

This also determines the living standards of the people in this city. Although it is not as good as that of the neighboring Shanghai, the consumption power of ordinary people is still impressive.

Just like Yang Yi's middle school and high school students, even if they have to go home to eat two meals, many of them can spend about three or four hundred a month for breakfast plus pocket money.

Putting aside the public standards, there are many sons and daughters of wealthy families with superior family backgrounds and children of government officials in Yuezhou No. 20 High School.Therefore, for most people, a book priced at around [-] yuan is not an unbearable financial burden.

However, this is only relative to one person. If anyone is asked to stand up now, like Yang Yi, and pay the bill for the dozen or so people present, I am afraid that he will shake his head and give in.

"Hello, the amount payable for this consumption is 22 yuan..."

At the cash register, the electronic sound of the automatic cash register is mechanically reporting the number, but the students who should pay the money with their wallets, but holding the stamped book, turned their heads to Yang Yixiao who was waiting at the end, and some boys even raised their eyebrows. Thank you: "Thank you."

As for the girls, most of them chattered in low voices with joy, and looked at Yang Yi from time to time, bursting out bursts of chuckling like bells.But when it was their turn to pay, they also unceremoniously pointed at the back and said, "Someone paid together."

This group of people, apart from Zhang Yao, who was trying to find something awkward at the beginning, and another boy in the third year of high school, basically accepted Yang Yi's kindness with a smile.Although I also met Yang Yichu, but someone started the conversation, and the others didn't feel embarrassed, but thought this junior was generous.Moreover, the gift was a book, so it was much better to talk about it than to treat guests to dinner or other activities.

As the time approached nine o'clock, the participating students from various schools who had been wandering around in the bookstore also went out to gather one after another, just in time for a small crowd that was rare this morning.When many people saw that in front of the cash register, the students of No. [-] High School were actually holding a brand new book, and then there were people paying the bill, which immediately attracted a lot of discussion. They felt a little incredible, and of course there were many Envious eyes.

"No, there are people who pay uniformly? The welfare of their No. 40 high school is too good! Is there a mistake?" A student with the words "Thirteen Middle School" printed on his school uniform stared at his peers, looking at a After putting the collection of "Scream", "Wandering" and "New Stories", which sells for nearly [-] yuan, on the cash register, a boy from a high school immediately became depressed.

Isn't this the book he just fell in love with but didn't want to buy?The dark blue cloth cover with a strong sense of history, and the thick and smooth paper exuding the fragrance of ink, the heavy sense of satisfaction when holding it in the hand made the student of No. [-] Middle School grumble unwillingly.

"Crazy, who is taking advantage of it! It's understandable to give girls away, why does everyone have a share!"

"It's too extravagant! Are they paid uniformly by the school? After all, Yigao is really rich!"

Someone next to him was full of sourness: "What, you think they are paid by the school? Did you see the man at the end? That kid paid the bill."

After a girl got a stamped book, she couldn't help but smiled to her companions, full of joy: "Hey, I feel that my collective sense of honor is very high now!"

A companion next to her stretched out her hand to pinch her face, and she still didn't forget to tease: "Really? A sense of collective honor? Or a good impression of someone?"

The cashier, who knew the inside story, kept smiling at Yang Yi who was waiting behind.There are people who noticed this side, most of them are parents who buy guidance books for their children, and retired old people wearing glasses. They talk clearly about whether it is good to treat guests and give gifts among students. I don’t know. , but I really envy the students of No. [-] High School, and I only hate that my children don't study in this school.

And Zhou Ziyi, who was waiting at the door to gather the team early, didn't take it seriously when he saw students going to the cashier.I feel that although I am here to participate in the competition today, it is a good thing for students to buy books after all, and it is inconvenient for me to interfere.

But later, when all the troops came, and there was a long queue in front of the cash register, he was also very surprised.

Even an old acquaintance from No. 22 Middle School, who was chatting happily with him, was drawn to that side, and began to look at him with great interest.But when the sixth student also placed the selected books, and then scanned the labels, counted the prices, and stamped them, he finally couldn't help but click his tongue and said: "Hey, Lao Zhou, you are a high school after all, you just have confidence! This time, is it counted on a head-to-head basis, with one copy per person? Or is there a limit on the amount and no limit on the number of copies?"

"The original number? What original number?" Looking back, Zhou Ziyi finally understood, and squinted at his old friend, dumbfounded: "I don't have a penny! This is not about the Olympiad or something, and the higher-ups are not for those partial students. , how can I be willing to spend this time! It’s a dream to spend money to buy books for students!”

"Then what is this?" The teacher in No. 22 stared suspiciously at him immediately: "I won't ask you for this money! You're so dishonest!"

"Pfft!" Zhou Ziyi almost choked to death, isn't he upright?Obviously it has nothing to do with me, these students messed up things on their own, in the end, why did I not be upright again: "Old Wan, you don't know anything, so you just talk nonsense, I said the school didn't give you a point Money, I didn’t even send a school bus, I paid for the bus fare myself!”

"Ah? It's really not your school that pays the bill!" Teacher Wan smacked his lips in disbelief: "Then your students are really rich, tsk tsk...but it's always a good thing to like reading!"

Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he abducted Zhou Ziyi with his arm: "These students have done this, if the news gets out, wouldn't you, Old Zhou, just jump into the eyes of your leader? "

"Hey, it's the same sentence, it's not the Olympiad, our school leaders are paying attention to...what a fart!" The eyes quickly looked around, and after finding that there was no one around, the "fart" still burst out.

Zhou Ziyi, as the leader of the Chinese grade group, usually has a history of the first grade, so in a school like No. [-] High School that only focuses on science, there are some melancholy feelings that cannot be displayed with talent. Human nature.

"Besides, even if you want to pay attention, you have to wait for the results of the competition! Now this is nothing."

Teacher Wan next to him smiled mysteriously: "Look, I've said it before! You just have this temper, and you don't turn your head too much! Although our high school entrance rate is the king, but now it's not Do you want to reform the education system? Even if you pretend to show it to the higher authorities, don’t you still have to take action? Now these students have no intention of doing something. If the news gets out, isn’t this the best way for you to engage in high-quality education? Example! I think you are really stupid for teaching."

Zhou Ziyi next to him was dumbfounded, and felt that what his old friend said was really very reasonable.

It's just that now that there are no journalists present, and because there is no research team from the Education Bureau, Zhou Ziyi has no choice but to do anything.

"Eh? That's not right, none of your students seem to have paid!" Teacher Wan wanted to joke a little bit, but suddenly found that none of the students seemed to have paid. Then stamp it.

Zhou Ziyi next to him immediately jumped up: "They didn't give them money and let them out! You don't..."

While talking and looking at the cash register, another boy handed the book up. This time, the student was followed by two girls. To make room, the boy walked to the outermost side, and he didn't even mean to give money.

Immediately, the second half of Zhou Ziyi's words were blocked in his mouth. The fat teacher couldn't understand why, so he quickly waved to a student he brought: "Zhu Mingming, come here."

……

When the two teachers finally figured out what was going on, Zhou Ziyi didn't know what to say, but the teacher Wan next to him was full of meaning: "Oh, you are not an easy student! Everyone said you There are more than three in the first high school, there are many high-scoring students, there are many children of cadres, and there are many children of rich families, it really is a well-deserved reputation."

Zhou Ziyi didn't know what to say now. After thinking about it for a while, he felt that he didn't have much to think about, so he waved his hand: "Stop laughing, okay? I'm too lazy to talk to you. I'll go and see them."

Unexpectedly, this teacher Wan followed closely, ignoring Zhou Ziyi's white eyes: "I'll go and have a look too."

……

When the two arrived at the cash register, there were a total of 430 people and [-] books. After all the prices were calculated, the cashier gave a sweet smile: "After the discount, the total is [-] yuan."

Yang Yi nodded: "Understood, let's write down the account first."

When these words came out, not only the students around, but also Zhou Ziyi and Teacher Wan staggered in unison. They couldn't believe whether this student was stupid.

What kind of place is this, can you get credit?

But what made them even more speechless was that the cashier who smiled sweetly nodded without the slightest hesitation.

Zhou Ziyi suddenly felt that the world had collapsed.

Nima, little girl, do you know what a cashier does?Where is your professional ethics?
