Chapter Fourteen Abandoning Illusions and Preparing for Battle
Through Zhao Nan's series of narrations, the audience finally understood how pleasant it is to have choices, unlike in recent years, when everyone seemed to be choked by a heavy fate and gradually unable to breathe in the darkness.
“Go to Cathay Pacific!”
"Go to Ross!"
“Strongly support going to the Balkans!”
"South America! It must be South America!"
"It's too far, is it more economical and affordable in Southeast Asia?"
The audience actively made suggestions for Yu Fei, but after thinking for a while, Yu Fei shook his head slightly and said: "Thank you everyone for your support, but I still want to go to Yue Country."
…
Two days later…
Zhao Nan picked up Yu Fei at the train station as promised. He looked similar to the one in the video link. He was tall and thin, with simple short hair, and his clothes were conservative. He didn't look like a 27-year-old young man.
, more like those middle-aged male leaders in the system who are full of benevolence, justice and morality.
"Brother Nan."
"Come here, brother, did you have a smooth journey?"
"It went pretty smoothly. I got there after a short sleep. It just took a lot of time to get in and out of the station. The little nurse may have just started working, so she is very powerful."
Zhao Nan shrugged, "There is no way, it is not up to us to decide whether we are sick or not. If this continues, I am afraid that soon we will need to be tested to determine whether we are alive or not. Our ancestors used small carts
We, the descendants, can only endure what is being pushed out."
"Come on, get in the car. Time waits for no one. Let's get the most important things done first and fly south early tomorrow morning."
"The most important thing?" Yu Fei scratched his head, showing a confused expression.
Zhao Nan looked at the buildings in the center of the city in the distance, nodded and said, "That's what I've always said, the peacock theory."
…
The online taxi first went to the hotel booked in advance, put down Yu Fei's luggage, and then came to the square outside the city business center.
“Uniqlo?”
Yu Fei looked at the big sign in front of him, his eyes seemed a little confused. He had specially prepared a considerable amount of cash for this trip, thinking that Zhao Nan would take him to a very expensive brand-name clothing store to buy a lot of trendy brands to dress up.
Unexpectedly, in the end, I just came to Uniqlo.
Zhao Nan said with a smile: "Nowadays, boys always have a misunderstanding, thinking that expensive things are good. In fact, the correlation between taste and expensiveness is not very big. People who know how to wear clothes can sell the cheapest street goods.
The combination creates the effect of a runway show, and even if our teacher Guo Degang wears Christian Dior, he still looks like a nouveau riche."
"Don't be brainwashed by consumerism. Trust me, Uniqlo is enough."
Hmm~
Yu Fei nodded heavily and followed Zhao Nan into the mall. Growing up in the countryside, Yu Fei did not have the habit of spending money lavishly. If he could save some money on clothes, he would of course be happy.
"Buy four of these white T-shirts. The size should be one size larger than the one you are wearing now to achieve a loose fit."
Zhao Nan said as he threw four identical white T-shirts into the cart.
Yu Fei took a look at the price. It was 99 yuan per piece. It was the most expensive T-shirt from Uniqlo, but the texture was really good and it felt very thick. It should feel quite wide when worn on the body.
"Do you really want to buy four pieces?" Yu Fei finally couldn't help but asked curiously.
"many?"
Zhao Nan smiled and shook his head, "Actually, I want to buy 7 pieces. It's just right to change one piece a day, seven days a week. As for the T-shirt you are wearing now, you don't need it. You don't need them all. You can send it.
If you go back to your hometown and wear it for others, you can just throw it away if you don’t feel bad about it.”
Yu Fei blushed a little when Zhao Nan said that. He was wearing a T-shirt that he bought specially before he came to see Zhao Nan. It was a brand name, Metersbonwe, with a black base and a huge logo. He felt quite handsome, but he didn't make it.
I wanted to but was so disliked by Zhao Nan that I wanted to throw it away directly.
There was no turning back when he fired his bow. The only thing Yu Fei could do now was to choose to believe Zhao Nan, so he said nothing and let the clothes in the trolley increase rapidly.
Basic blue jeans, gray cotton sweatpants, crisp quick-drying sweatpants, white and blue shirts, denim jacket and light blazer, a few pairs of quick-drying underwear and socks.
The clothes Zhao Nan bought for Yu Fei were all the most basic styles and the most common colors.
The only difference is that Zhao Nan will choose the one with the best material texture and the most expensive price.
For example, that white shirt was obviously on sale in Oxford material and blended material, and the price was only a few tens of yuan, but Zhao Nan took the most expensive white shirt in the whole place, a pure cotton high-count poplin shirt, the price was
Up to two hundred yuan.
"You'll know after you try it." Zhao Nan pointed to the fitting room and said very relaxedly.
Yu Fei was doubtful and walked into the fitting room with several white shirts of different prices and took turns to put on each style.
It's strange. They are all white shirts, but the poplin material makes them look taller and more energetic. The Oxford fabric is actually good, but it feels a bit like work clothes when worn on the body.
"It's true that this one is better." Yu Fei walked out of the fitting room and said with conviction.
Zhao Nan said: "The quantity of clothes may not be large, but the quality must be high. As for the colorful colors and huge brand logos, not only will they not give you extra points, they will only make you look very rustic."
"Let's go buy shoes. They may be more expensive than clothes and shoes. Don't feel bad when the time comes. After all, as the old saying goes, if you don't want your children, you can't trap a wolf, and if you don't want your wife, you can't catch a gangster."
Yu Fei:(???????)
…
"Have you changed it?"
Leaning lazily on the sofa, Zhao Nan asked Yu Fei in the bathroom.
"Well, it's almost done."
Yu Fei agreed. He opened the door carefully, took a deep breath, and then walked out bravely. He stood in front of the full-length mirror at the door and looked at himself in the mirror in a daze.
It is unimaginable that in just a few hours, I have undergone a radical change, from a rustic young man in the urban-rural fringe to a refreshing and elegant scholar in a big city.
Yes, refreshing and refreshing.
Her short, slightly permed hair is fluffy but not greasy. Her clothes are light-colored and clean but still of good quality. At her feet is a chestnut-colored Air Force One. The stainless steel astronaut pendant she bought for fifteen yuan on her chest shines with silver, making the white T-shirt stand out.
The shirt becomes less monotonous and adds to the layering of the clothes.
"Huh~ Not bad."
Zhao Nan smiled and teased Yu Fei: "If this continues, you don't have to go to Yue country. You can find young and beautiful girls in our Daoqing."
Yu Fei was obviously not a person who was good at teasing. He shook his head honestly and said: "I admit that the girls in Daoqing are generally very tall and have good figures, but I still want to go to Yue Country because I am already familiar with my own country.
The female compatriots no longer have any hope. The experience of so many blind dates has made me understand that I am really not worthy."
Hahahaha~
"How come you take this seriously?"
Zhao Nan hugged Dao Fei's shoulders and said, "If there was such a good Miss Dao Qing, I would have kept it for myself. How can it be your turn?"
"But having said that, your judgment is correct. We are not worthy of dating someone in our own hometown. After all, girls in our country are so independent and have to pay for their meals. They refuse to spend boys' money, even if you buy her a gift.
They also have to find ways to pay it back, not to mention the expensive bride price, which is simply a huge insult to them."
"And our girls are extremely tolerant. If you don't have time to watch a movie with her because you work overtime, they won't lose their temper and ask you to pay attention to their feelings. Instead, they will take the initiative to cook a good meal at home just so that you can have a hot bite when you come back.
Meals.”
"In addition, girls in our country will never compare with others. They will not dislike you just because your best friend's boyfriend is richer, and will not complain that you are not enterprising and cannot be as good as other boyfriends..."
The two people left the room while talking. Yu Fei was stunned when he heard Zhao Nan's words. After a while, until the elevator door opened, he suddenly realized: "Brother Nan, what you said is not ironic, right?"
"Nonsense, of course it's irony." Zhao Nan said: "If they were really so virtuous, there wouldn't be any external plans in this world. If they had a conscience and didn't treat us like cattle and horses, why would we leave our homes?"
"This is the first lesson of the external volume plan. What we need to do most now is to recognize the situation clearly, give up our illusions, and prepare to fight an arduous battle."
"Now for a better fight, I decided to take you to our most famous beer house to eat seafood and drink draft beer."
