i'm really rich

Chapter 172

"I haven't seen you for a few years, and you've grown more and more beautiful."

In the car, He Yuan said casually while staring at the road.

After putting the suitcase in the trunk, the two got in the car and set off.

Along the way, the atmosphere was a little silent.

Although they were classmates in elementary school, the two hadn't seen each other for a long time. When they met suddenly, they suddenly didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere seemed a little awkward.

Only now did He Yuan understand what Lu Huihui's teasing tone was referring to—it turned out that the so-called beauty she introduced was actually their elementary school classmate.

This made He Yuan a little dumbfounded.

"No way, you've become more handsome." Li Shi brushed her hair and said with a smile on her face.

When she got out of the airport just now, she might have walked too hastily, and there was a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.Now Li Shi's bangs are all attached to it, and she has to fiddle with her hands from time to time to prevent the bangs from covering her eyes.

"No, I'm getting fat now, you see, I can't fit my clothes anymore." He Yuan puffed out his stomach and made a joke.

In fact, He Yuan hasn't gained weight recently, but I don't know if it's because he eats too well, or because he hasn't exercised for too long, or because he has stayed up for several days and sat at the computer desk for a long time in order to catch up with the plan. In short, his stomach looks a little bigger. As soon as the chain of the down jacket is pulled up, the clothes are pushed up by his stomach, which looks like he is pregnant.

Li Shi took a careful look at He Yuan, covered his mouth and smiled lightly: "No, you look pretty handsome now. I remember when you were in elementary school, you were white, thin, like a bamboo pole, and you were taller than a girl like me. emaciated."

As soon as this dark history came out, He Yuan felt a little embarrassed.

Before He Yuan came out to work, He Yuan was very thin.

When he was in middle school, his weight was never over [-], and he was very fair and clean. He wore a pair of glasses and looked gentle. He stood with girls, and the one with small arms and thin legs was more like girls. girl.

When Pengpeng saw He Yuan in college, he was taken aback. He secretly told He Yuan several times that if He Yuan changed into women's clothes, he would definitely be prettier than girls.

He Yuan used to have very simple criteria for finding a girlfriend. They don’t need to be too beautiful, but they should have a body similar to him. Otherwise, if the girl is too strong, He Yuan will feel very insecure—if there is any conflict at home, the woman will slap her Just slapping He Yuan on the ground will make He Yuan lose face.

For this reason, He Yuan has been single for more than 20 years. It was not until Tian Rui took over after gaining weight.

"Haha, I remember that you were already very tall when you were in elementary school. I didn't expect you to be so tall after so many years. Standing in front of you, I am very stressed." He Yuan half-jokingly said.

This time he was telling the truth.

People from Sichuan are not considered tall. Li Shi's height of 1.7 meters is already considered tall among girls.In addition, as a flight attendant, she has a good figure and looks even more slender.That's fine, the key is that Li Shi is still wearing a pair of high heels, which directly compares He Yuan.

When he saw her just now, He Yuan could even feel that when Li Shi looked at him, he was looking down - that's why He Yuan hurriedly pushed her into the car.

As a machismo man, He Yuan especially hates standing with tall girls. He always feels that boys are shorter than girls, which is a particularly humiliating thing, and he especially wants to find a crack in the ground to sneak in.

"It's okay, by the way, have you been staying in your hometown?" Li Shi smiled, and said something casually to change the topic.It was obvious that she didn't want to continue this topic.

Don't look at people nowadays, they are very envious of tall girls, but when I was young, it was not a good thing for girls to be tall.

Every girl in He Yuan's class counts as one, as long as they are tall, they have been more or less squeezed out by other students in the class.

But Li Shi is fine, she is the study committee member of the class, she has good academic performance, she is also pretty, and she is a local, so the exclusion she suffered is not too serious.But there are some things that seem nothing in the eyes of others like He Yuan, but to the person concerned, it is a past event that he does not want to recall.

He Yuan saw it, so he followed Li Shi's tone and changed the subject.

"No, I just came back for a while, probably stayed for a few months." He Yuan replied.

"Then where were you before? Speaking of which, since graduating from high school, I haven't had much contact with my former classmates. I have attended several class reunions before and visited Teacher Ju in school, but at that time you seemed to be Not here." Li Shi said.

He Yuan still remembers this matter.

When his QQ number was not stolen, he was also in the class group.

At that time, it seemed to be the class monitor, who organized a group of students to go back to school to visit the teacher.

But at that time, He Yuan was poor and had no money, so he was like that, and instinctively resisted such things.Therefore, although he saw the news, he has been lurking in the group of classmates without saying a word.

"Oh, I was out of town before and couldn't make it back." He Yuan replied lightly.

He Yuan didn't know how to bring up the things in his student days, and he didn't want to.

Although it seems nothing to outsiders, for He Yuan, it is a past that he does not want to recall.

As some people say, only those who are rich and good-looking have youth.

But for losers like He Yuan and the others, that's not even the past - they wish everyone would forget about those things, how could they rush to tear open their wounds and show their ugliness in front of others.

Seemingly aware of the coldness in He Yuan's tone, Li Shi paused for a moment and did not continue on this topic.

She turned her head, looked out of the window, and said casually: "Then what's the situation with you and Huihui? She told me that when she found someone to pick me up, I was shocked. Especially when she heard the person she was looking for When it was a man, my first reaction was, did she find a boyfriend. You...wouldn't be together, would you? "

When He Yuan heard this, he couldn't laugh or cry.

We're still together, Lu Huihui sold you to me.

She wished to take this opportunity of picking up someone to make something happen between us.

However, He Yuan didn't talk to Li Shi about this matter. After knowing that the person Lu Huihui connected with was Li Shi, He Yuan lost interest at all.

He had a good relationship with Li Shi when he was young, and the two often went to school together and left school together - the county is not big, and many people go to and from school in the same way, and because He Yuan was very frail at that time, many girls They all regard He Yuan as their own and are willing to go with him.

Really, when they were playing rope skipping, they would often invite He Yuan to join them.

However, despite his weak appearance, He Yuan is still a tough guy in his heart, so he sternly rejected all those invitations.

Speaking of this, He Yuan still has a little regret now.

Who would have known that those dark, thin, ordinary-looking little girls in primary school would undergo such earth-shaking changes when they grow up.

Judging from the recent photos posted in the previous classmate group, there are many beauties in their elementary school class.

No wonder there used to be a saying, go to classmate, find everyone... Oh no, are you single, go to everyone, find classmate.

"No, the store she opened is relatively close to where I live. I was already preparing to take a rest, but she suddenly called me and said that a friend was stuck at the airport and couldn't go back. She asked me to drive to help pick me up. Take a moment." He Yuan changed it a little and removed those messy things, "She didn't tell me it was you, and I only knew it after seeing you."

"I'm really sorry, it's really late today. I usually don't go back, but I happened to encounter something, and I was worried that it was too late and the road would be unsafe, so I complained to Huihui on WeChat. Thinking of it... thank you." Li Shi said.

"It's okay, you girls, it's not safe to ride outside in a car. Didn't the victim of the Didi incident happen to be a flight attendant... These days, you should pay more attention to safety." He Yuan waved his hand and said .

For the few things that happened before, He Yuan was also swiped by the forwarding in Moments, and he roughly knew what happened.

To be honest, he doesn't think it's all Didi's fault. When Didi didn't exist, this kind of thing happened a lot. It's just that there weren't so many black public relations on the Internet, and many people didn't know it.

Moreover, there was no monitoring or records before. If the victim had not contacted his family members in advance, it would take several days before someone found out if something happened.And it is often in the suburbs or in the small woods that the bodies are found by passers-by, and then the police are called.

Due to the lack of tracking methods, the detection rate is particularly low, and it is often left unsolved in the end.

It's all right now, something happened. After checking the records, the murderer can be found in a few days.

From this point of view, the overall development of society is still progressing.

However, the price of promoting this kind of progress is really a bit high.

"That's right." Li Shi hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I was on the plane before, and I saw someone who looked very much like you. But I was working at that time, and I wasn't sure if it was you, so I didn't go over to say hello .”

"The time you mentioned was the time from Chengdu to BJ?" He Yuan asked.

"Yes, so it was really you that I saw that time?" Li Shi asked in surprise.

He Yuan nodded, and then smiled: "I was shocked when I saw you. To be honest, you have changed a lot, but the shape of your face is still the same as before. But after so many years, I don't know Make sure it's you, if you suddenly go up to strike up a conversation with you, it will be embarrassing if you are considered a hooligan."

"How is that possible?" Li Shi smiled, not believing what He Yuan said.

"How is it impossible? You are so beautiful, there must be a lot of people who strike up a conversation with you. If I ran up suddenly, maybe you would kick me off the plane as a hooligan." He Yuan said casually while looking ahead. .

Driving this late at night is already very sleepy, not to mention the oncoming vehicles turn on their high beams from time to time, making people unable to keep their eyes open.He Yuan had to concentrate to avoid speaking the wrong way, so he spoke completely subconsciously, and blurted out without thinking about it.

"I haven't seen you for so many years, your mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter. Then tell me, what's so beautiful about me?" Li Shi looked at He Yuan with a half-smile.

He Yuan's mind paused, and the machine shut down immediately.

Damn, this is just an everyday compliment, just like "did you eat today", it's just for gossip.Although what He Yuan said is the truth, but let him be specific, how can he be specific?

Could it be because you have a good figure, long legs, thin waist, oval face, and a pair of murder weapons...

Isn't this just playing hooligans?

"I can't say it, hmph, you really can't trust a man's mouth." Li Shi covered her mouth and smiled lightly.

He Yuan touched his nose and smiled awkwardly.

"By the way, I remember that there were three of you when you passed by." Li Shi asked.

"Ah."

"What are you doing in BJ?"

"Take them to BJ for a stroll." He Yuan didn't want to talk deeply about this matter.

Although it has been a while, He Yuan still feels a little uncomfortable when he thinks of Mr. Tang.

"The three of you are all in first class, and you are still driving such a nice car, you are doing well." Li Shi touched the car and said.

"What are you doing? Now I'm at home and can only play with cats and dogs every day. It's quite boring." He Yuan smiled and told the truth.

He really lived like a useless person before, dawdling around every day.

"It's good to be able to live this kind of life at home. I've always wanted to go back, but I never had the chance to go back." Li Shi said.

"Haha, you are a stewardess, flying everywhere every day, traveling around the world for free, how cool it is." He Yuan laughed "haha".

"Where is it so good? Flying every day is very tiring, and there is no time to rest. There is no time to go out and play." Li Shi said, but from the corners of her mouth slightly raised, it can be seen that she is in a good mood.

"You can't say that, work is work, life is life, it is impossible to let you rest 24 hours a day, I think you should not have such a miserable life." He Yuan said.

"It's okay." Li Shi raised her eyebrows and said noncommittally.

From the corner of his eyes, He Yuan noticed that the clothes on Li Shi's body were of a good quality.

As for the brand, He Yuan didn't know it. There were many brands of women's products, and He Yuan couldn't recognize them all, but He Yuan knew that the scarf Li Shi wore around his neck was a gucci scarf.In the past, colleagues in the company bought it as a gift, and one piece cost several thousand.

And the bag in Li Shi's hand seems to be from LV. He Yuan doesn't know the price, but a female colleague of the company posted a screenshot in the group before. The key chain costs three or four thousand, and a handbag of this size costs at least 1 yuan, to 6 yuan—if Li Shi didn't buy a high-quality imitation.

Speaking of which, He Yuan has always wanted to buy a luxury brand to try.

It's not that he thinks these things are really good-looking, it's pure curiosity.

Although He Yuan could afford it in the past, he didn't like to go to a physical store - there are tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of goods in them, and the people who come and go are local tyrants with millions or tens of millions of dollars. I feel like a dwarf when I go in.

Moreover, he didn't have much money at the time, so he guessed that when he went in, he would pick out some specials, or a key chain worth several thousand yuan, which looked shabby.

I don’t dare to do it online, He Yuan is an Internet worker himself, and he knows how pitiful online shopping is.Colleague He Yuan had always believed in Haitao before, until one time he bought a 2000 yuan toothbrush through Haitao, but he couldn’t register on the official website, so he never used Haitao again.

At this time, He Yuan was particularly envious of Xu Yang.

When Xu Yang lived with them before, he used to go to luxury stores.While drinking other people’s free mineral water, try on other people’s clothes and shoes, make yourself look good, and take pictures, post it on Moments, and after you’re done pretending to be aggressive——throw down a sentence, “Forget it, no I like it", and patted my ass and went home.

None of them were bought.

After returning home, he presented this matter to He Yuan and the others, and showed He Yuan and the others a plastic bag with the brand LOGO that he picked up from the store, to prove that he did not lie.

At that time, He Yuan and the others gave him a thumbs up and said, "You dick."

"Your handbag is pretty, where did you buy it?" He Yuan asked casually.

It's the end of the year, and it's time for crazy discounts in major shopping malls.

Like Ranran and the others, they have already met in the group, going to some outlets, shopping in Yintai, and grabbing discounted products.

He Yuan is also a little moved, he wants to take Tian Rui to buy clothes together, and dress her up beautifully.

It's not that He Yuan complained, Tian Rui's previous clothes were really eye-catching - all kinds of patterns, flowers, and silk fabrics were all red and purple, and they looked very tacky. A few years ago, they would have It's the kind of clothes that people in their 50s and [-]s would wear.

In the words of the older generation, colorful clothes look festive.

"This one, I bought it in a foreign duty-free shop." Li Shi glanced at the bag in his hand and said.

"I've always wanted to know, are foreign duty-free shops really much cheaper than domestic ones?" He Yuan asked.

Every time he goes to the airport, he is in a hurry.

When I went to Xiamen before, the company organized a visit to the duty-free shop, but He Yuan walked around inside and found that the goods inside were expensive and the quantity was small, so I don’t know if I went to the wrong place.

"It's okay, it depends on the specific situation. For example, in some countries, the attitude towards Chinese people is different from that towards Europeans and Americans. Like the UK, some shopping malls have discounts in the hands of shop assistants. If Europeans and Americans go to If they go, he will give discounts to Europeans and Americans, but if they are Chinese, they will directly erase the discounts. And Italy is also a very Chinese-exclusive country. The racial discrimination there is very serious, especially for China. People have a very serious tendency to be excluded." Li Shi recalled a little, and then organized his words.

"It's so chaotic outside?" He Yuan paused, and said in surprise, "It's been so many years, I thought our country has developed, and such things should rarely happen."

"In the past, they were excluded because they were poor, but now they are excluded because they are too rich." Li Shi shook her head.

"Then which places do you think are better for Chinese people?"

"This...it depends on luck, but generally speaking, third world countries are generally more friendly to Chinese people. I have been to several places before, and the people there are very enthusiastic. In Asia, Japan is more friendly than Koreans. It’s better. Koreans look down on Chinese people from the bottom of their hearts, but Japanese people. I haven’t met people who are particularly hostile to Chinese people there. They are quite friendly to Chinese people. Many Japanese people think that China’s economic development is too fast. , has far surpassed them." Li Shidao.

"It seems that you have been to many countries." He Yuan said.

"It's okay, go out more while you're young." Li Shi brushed her hair.

Who doesn't want to go out more while they are young.

It mainly depends on whether you have money in your pocket.

It’s like celebrating a festival. For wealthy families, a seven-day trip to European countries; for petty bourgeoisie families, a seven-day trip to Japan and South Korea; for ordinary people, a seven-day trip to Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand; If you are in need, wander around the neighborhood; if you are in extreme poverty, stay at home.

Money limits my imagination, willpower, and execution.

He Yuan smiled in his heart, but didn't speak.

He Yuan was quite drowsy at first, but after saying these words, he suddenly became sober.

He sniffled, and suddenly found that there seemed to be a smell of perfume in the car.

He Yuan himself doesn't wear perfume, nor does he spray anything in his car.

That can only be...

He Yuan squinted and glanced at Li Shi.

She was holding the bag with her head down, not knowing what she was looking for.

He Yuan was a little strange. When he was outside the car just now, he didn't smell any perfume.Is it because the wind outside is too strong, and now I am in the car, the windows are closed, it is relatively airtight, and the air conditioner is turned on, the air is relatively hot, so this is blown out?

But the smell of this fragrance, why does it feel weird... That kind of feeling can't be described, I feel that my body temperature has risen, my brain is a little congested, and my breathing has become short of breath.

It was as if there was a kitten scratching and scratching there, which made He Yuan feel restless.

He Yuan couldn't breathe anymore, He Yuan said: "Let me open the window, the car is a bit too stuffy."

After Li Shi said "hmm", He Yuan opened a window.The wind blew in from the window, carrying a icy coolness, which made He Yuan wake up a lot.

Knowing that Li Shi's bag was bought in a foreign duty-free shop, He Yuan stopped the topic.

Although the two are classmates, He Yuan doesn't like to trouble others casually.

If you want others to do something, you have to pay for it.It’s okay if it’s an outsider, and the price is clearly marked. If you can accept it, you will pay it, and if you can’t accept it, you will withdraw the bid.

If you are a mature person, there will be problems. If you give less, others will feel uncomfortable. If you give too much, you will feel uncomfortable.

So don't overwhelm yourself.

Chatting with Li Shi, He Yuan got off the highway.

After passing the toll booth, drive for about half an hour and you will arrive at the urban area.

Seeing that he was about to get home, He Yuan also relaxed, when his cell phone rang suddenly.

He Yuan was driving, and he didn't pay attention to who the caller was, so he answered the call casually.

"Hey, old He, I've already asked you about the villa you asked me to show you before. It's a single-family house with an infinity pool of about 700 square meters. Do you want to buy it over there?"
