Chapter 11: Only the Party Can Accurately Alleviate Poverty
He finally understood why so many girls with good figures liked to carry shoulder-cross bags—it really did show off their figure.
Of course, if one was flat, then forget it.
Hadn’t Yuan Meng just gotten so angry that she ate three big bowls of rice noodles?
“You two go to hell, still eating, you’ve been recruited to die~”
Yuan Meng looked at the two hungry ghosts gobbling down food, instantly furious, pointing at them as she shouted.
Zhang Wei: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ
Lin Mo: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ
Hearing this, the two froze mid-bite, so scared that the little fish ball Zhang Wei had been holding with his chopsticks dropped.
“Sister Yuan, of course I’m on your side, that Liu Rushuang isn’t even half as good as you!” Lin Mo’s eyes spun as he hurried to speak.
“Oh, let’s hear it then!” Yuan Meng instantly switched to a smiling face.
“Cough, cough.” Lin Mo pretended to cough twice, then put down his bowl and chopsticks before speaking: “That Liu Rushuang just has longer legs, a bigger chest, looks prettier...”
“Hmm?” (rising tone)
Halfway through speaking, Yuan Meng’s eyes became as sharp as knives, scaring Lin Mo into continuing quickly:
“But, how could she compare to you, Sister Yuan? You’re cute, kind-hearted, play games with us every day, give us emotional support, and even treat us to meals. What has she ever done for us? She’s just a capitalist who only knows how to exploit us!”
“Mm~” (falling tone)
“Now that’s a human sentence!” Yuan Meng proudly raised her head, as if she was truly that outstanding, and Liu Rushuang was utterly beneath mention.
Seeing this, Zhang Wei quietly gave Lin Mo a thumbs-up, then scooped another chopstickful of rice noodles into his mouth, eating happily.
“Whew~”
Lin Mo also let out a breath of relief.
Just like he had said himself, although Liu Rushuang was beautiful, even if she wasn’t the great Empress Rushuang, what did that have to do with him?
Her money wasn’t for him to spend anyway.
On the contrary, Yuan Meng was truly generous with him and Zhang Wei.
Not only did she often treat them to meals, but many of the skins they used in games were also paid for by her.
The difference in closeness was perfectly clear.
“You two really think like this? Then why were you staring at her thighs?” Yuan Meng asked suspiciously, knowing these two were a pair of lechers.
Hearing this, Lin Mo lightly shook his head: “That’s where you’re wrong. I don’t think I’m a lecherous man. What I was looking at wasn’t her legs, but the path her legs have walked!”
Zhang Wei: ...
Yuan Meng: “Heh... you’ve pissed me off so much you made me laugh, I almost believed your nonsense, go to hell!”
With that, her short legs under the table delivered a flurry of kicks at him.
How should it be said?
Modern young people had ten great virtues.
Courage: At worst, I’ll die!
Efficiency: I’ll die right now!
Social: Just pretend I’m dead!
Altruism: If I die, you’ll be happy!
Sincerity: Believe it or not, if not, go die!
Calmness: Dying solves everything!
Communication: What else can I do, how about I go die?
Self-reflection: Why am I still not dead!
Optimism: So what, I won’t die anyway!
Justice: Everyone deserves to die!
The three of them at the table fully embodied these ten virtues, making it quite a lively scene.
It wasn’t until Yuan Meng grew tired that Lin Mo and Zhang Wei joined forces to say good things, even promising to help her rank up in-game that night, finally managing to calm her down.
“Hey, Little Lin, you and our President Liu really have nothing going on?”
After eating, Zhang Wei still didn’t quite believe it, and carefully asked.
Hearing this, Lin Mo looked at him with an expression like he was an idiot: “Do you think that’s possible?”
“Why not? You two held hands at noon. Besides, you’re not bad-looking either. Nowadays, plenty of people eat soft rice. I’d love to but haven’t had the chance!
I think you’ve got potential. If you don’t seize the opportunity now, you’ll regret it in a few years!” Zhang Wei spoke with the tone of someone experienced, with a trace of envy in his voice.
After all, living off a woman required talent—not everyone had the ability.
“Brother Wei, it’s not that I don’t want to eat that soft rice, it’s that I really don’t have the chance!” Lin Mo shook his head and laughed.
He was an ungraduated university student, but he wasn’t stupid.
He couldn’t possibly throw away money for the sake of pride, right?
Besides, Liu Rushuang wasn’t some ugly woman or an older leftover dish.
He would have been more than happy.
“Why? Didn’t you two...” Zhang Wei was puzzled.
But Lin Mo immediately gave him an irrefutable reason.
“Because only the Party... can accurately alleviate poverty!”
Zhang Wei: ...
Yuan Meng: o(*≧▽≦)ツ┏━┓
It had to be said, that one sentence instantly killed the conversation.
Yes, the gap in status between the two was far too great.
One was a company senior executive with money, power, and beauty.
The other was an intern who hadn’t graduated yet, with no money, no power, and only a little bit of looks.
The numbers on their panels were plain to see.
Although Lin Mo knew he had cheats now, at least for the moment, he was still just an ordinary person who had nothing, far from being in the same league as the Empress Rushuang.
On matters like this, most men had a fair bit of self-awareness.
Meanwhile, Liu Rushuang was having a meal with Lin Mo’s cousin Su He at a restaurant.
“Hey, don’t look at me like that, alright? I already explained, your brother is just interning at our company, I just happened to see him today, there’s nothing else.”
Being stared at so intently by Su He, Liu Rushuang felt quite uncomfortable, and quickly surrendered.
Hearing this, Su He glared at her and snapped: “If you really liked my brother I wouldn’t mind. Him marrying into your family would already be considered a step up. But you clearly have no intention, yet you take the initiative to tease him. My brother’s still a pure university student who hasn’t graduated yet! If you hurt him, how will he find a girlfriend later? Let me tell you, my second aunt only has this one son in the family, don’t you go and mess him up!”
Though their family backgrounds were worlds apart, the two were university classmates, even roommates, and had quite a good relationship.
It was precisely because of that relationship that Su He knew Liu Rushuang was a very proud person.
Back in school, so many people had chased after her, but she never spared them a glance, let alone her ordinary cousin.
If Liu Rushuang teased him a little and then walked away, and her cousin actually took it seriously, what would happen then?
After all, encountering someone too dazzling at a young age was not necessarily a good thing.
And she was absolutely certain her cousin was no match for that vixen.
“Haha, don’t worry, I’m not going to eat him alive. It’s just that this kid was too annoying today. He actually made fun of my name, even said his name was Makoto Ito, and that he wanted to be Ji Bochang.” Liu Rushuang laughed.
Hearing this, Su He couldn’t help but smile as well.
Back when they were in school, the “Liu Rushuang” meme didn’t exist yet.
Everyone thought her name sounded very pretty.
But after it started appearing all over online novels, everything changed.
Even she had often teased Liu Rushuang about it, and naturally she also knew who Makoto Ito and Ji Bochang were.
“Well, that can’t be helped. With a name like yours now, it just sounds like ‘start in chaos and end in abandonment’!”
“Hey, do you believe I’ll transfer your brother tomorrow to be my secretary?
After all, he says he’s Makoto Ito. Isn’t that either my husband or my childhood sweetheart? And your little brother’s tender face is so pitifully lovable!”
Su He: (‵□′)───C＜─___-)||
“You old cucumber, I’ll fight you to the death!”
