Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Tao Yao pursed her lips slightly. “You’ve never experienced what it’s like to be truly poor.”
“Miss, don’t drag your thoughts down to the level of the entire poor,”Gu Chen said as he looked at the woman who was probably eating seafood abalone without any taste, “Your annual salary is 300,000 yuan. Compared to me, you think it’s very little. You’re very anxious. You think that we’re all human, so why is the difference so Big? “Do you think that even though I put in so much effort, why do I only get this much in return?”
“I don’t. I think I’m doing very well now,”Tao Yao refuted and looked at Gu Chen.
Gu Chen was smiling, and his smile was a little flirtatious.
Tao Yao was stunned for a moment, then turned back to eat.
“A few million yuan a year, in a pessimistic view of the world, would also feel little. A monthly salary of 2,000 yuan, in an optimistic view of the world, would also feel satisfied,”Gu Chen continued, “You say that I don’t know the life of a poor person. Let me tell you, after high school, my parents gave me a monthly living allowance of thirty yuan. They didn’t touch any of my lucky money and went to KFC with my classmates to work. Because it was child labor, they didn’t want it. Then, when the college held some kind of activity, they would drag Lao Mei to pick up plastic bottles and sell them for money. When I saw that a model airplane cost five hundred Yuan, I thought, how many bottles do I have to pick up to get it? “Do you think I haven’t lived a life without money? “I dug out the three Yuan in my pocket and stood outside the glass window for a whole day. Lao Mei looked at me pitifully and said that she would buy it for me with her living expenses. Look, I am being pitied.”
Gu Chen was telling the truth. He never lied about his life that he had never experienced before. During high school and university, he made a pact with his grandfather. He was just an ordinary person and his grandfather was not gu juexi, that day, he was beaten up by his grandfather and said that he was unfilial.
His father was very supportive of his actions. He asked the uncle next door how much money his family gave the child in a month. The uncle said that he was thirty years old. He felt that his father’s brain was not very good. The child from the uncle next door was in kindergarten.
Tao Yao:”...”
Tao Yao looked at Gu Chen again. She really could not think if this person’s brain was like Watt’s. Otherwise, why would he be so self-torturing.
“Oh right, I was the youngest when I was in high school. Lao Mei saw that I was pitiful, so I scrounged off his food for a few years.”
Tao Yao:”...”
Shameless!
“You were indeed helpless when you didn’t have money, but what was even more terrifying was that you turned this helplessness into pessimism, into hatred for the injustice of this world. There were clearly more people with worse conditions than you who were working hard, but what you saw was your own pity. Even if it was just a normal look from others, you would be sensitive to whether she felt that I was poor, whether she felt that I was useless, and whether she was mocking me,”Gu Chen said, looking at Tao Yao who kept poking at the chicken soup, he said, “But Miss Tao has never been a pessimistic person. I think you can completely ignore what happened today, right?”
Gu Chen seemed to be different from her impression of a rich young master.
Perhaps it was because of what he said, he had experienced the helplessness when he had no money, and he had also been helped by others. Even if the people who helped him later received better pay, a teenager went to find others to freeload, if he was not optimistic, how could he have done it?
