My ex-boyfriend is a social "queen" who smokes and drinks hot heads, and he has many buddies, one of whom is called Li Meng.
Li Meng is a rich guy, but in front of his friends, the best thing he does is to pretend to be poor.
As a poor person, I thought he was really poor at first, until one day, I knew the truth, and then I found out: compared with those rich people who like to show off their wealth or be generous, individual rich people who like to "pretend to be poor" are really terrible.
At the beginning, my conversation with Li Meng was still like this-
Me: I found a very beautiful snow suit the other day, the most important thing is to discount it, so cheap, happy.
Li Meng: Yes, don't buy the original price, you know, almost all my snow clothes are bought at 20% off, I also know a wholesale snow clothes person, I can take them directly from his factory.
Me: Okay you win.
I really haven't seen anything cheaper than 20% off, so frugal, can't fight.
And then, as if overnight, the conversation between the two of us became—
Li Meng: Coke, you are not in the company? I'll play later, and we'll talk about xx.
Me: Okay, what time are you coming?
Li Meng: I guess it will be a little later, around 1 p.m., and I'm still on my way back to Beijing in Tianjin.
Me: I have something to go out at 1 o'clock, I'll wait for you, what are you going to do in Tianjin?
Li Meng: I just bought a suite in Tianjin, uh-huh, the house in Beijing is too expensive to buy.
Me: Oh.
As a result, that day I waited for Li Meng to reach 2 o'clock, and he had not yet appeared.
After a few days, I learned that his family had 4 suites in Beijing, Nyima, really "poor" child paper, can not afford the 5th set.
Later I found out that he was not deliberately pretending to be poor, he was just habitually thrifty, as if it had become a kind of "muscle memory" without going through the brain.
Last week I took him to a cheap place in the suburbs of Beijing to skateboard, and I went out to find food, but I was very happy because there was 1 yuan of sushi, 1 yuan of milk tea, and 15 yuan of fruit buffet.
When Li Meng ate, she spent half a day talking about it, saying that she would buy 100 sushi and go back.
So I suddenly remembered that once before, it was also dinner time, we both felt that the outside restaurant was too expensive, and I was thinking about whether to buy a few candies to fill my hunger, and a friend recommended a cafeteria for 48 yuan a person.
Of course, both of us nodded violently with our eyes shining.
After the result went, I ate 5 large plates, Li Meng ate more than 10 plates one after another, and ate until a waiter asked: Why does salmon always disappear so quickly.
Then we laughed on the side, because Li Mengchao loved to eat salmon, and he took it out every time.
He also said that before, he went to a self-service grilled wing shop, and the boss took the initiative to return the money to him, asking him to go as much as possible once a week.
At that time, when I heard this story, I was surprised to think "Sleepy, in this life, I finally met someone who can eat more than I can eat in this life", and I was curious to think "How poor is it to even dimmy to eat the grilled wing shop to refund hahahahaha".
Then that day after the waves, he took his car back to the city, and we were all tired to death, so we talked head to tail.
Li Meng: Hey, getting poorer and poorer, when I was in college, I could still earn 2 million yuan a year, and now I can't earn 200,000 yuan a year...
Me: Hahaha, you this, congratulations, when you were in college, you still talked about love, and now through years of hard work, you have finally achieved career love at both ends.
Li Meng: A few days ago, I also sold my antique bed of 800,000 yuan, which could have been sold more expensive, but I was too lazy to find an auction house for a price, afraid of moving around and breaking it...
Me: No wonder you didn't dare to let people go to your house before... Accidentally dripping soy sauce on your table may be another antique table hahaha... Why do you still want to make money, what else do you want to do?
Li Meng: Many Beijingers around me actually have several apartments at home, and most of them are going to do business executives, because they don't know what they really want to do, and they are not afraid of losing their jobs, because they have food to eat... But that's not what I want, I want to learn all the extreme sports, such as wingsuit flying, kite surfing, independent skydiving, these are very expensive if you want to play seriously, to buy good equipment, every year to be a few million, but my money is not enough ah... I am especially glad that I did not buy a sports car before, otherwise I would not be able to protect it until now.
I sat in the co-pilot and listened.
I remembered a friend of Li Meng, who was very rich, and casually bought a wave-making boat of more than 2 million yuan, and did not need to be idle, placed it in a harbor in Shandong, and let Li Meng go to help him use it.
I think Li Meng's goal should be to become as rich as he is, even though he is already very rich.
Most of us have the limits of poverty, in fact, can be imagined, but have not experienced. But on the road to richness, there are things that are richer and more unimaginable.
Some are more extravagant troubles, more insatiable desires, and more untouchable sense of security.
But I recently found one thing very interesting: the extravagant moment of the rich, maybe to buy 3 sets of 30 million villas at once, and I actually felt a sense of luxury and satisfaction yesterday when I bought the last 3 bottles of 3 yuan mineral water on the shelf at one time.
PS.
The latest issue of our company's program "Please Fall in Love with Me Like This" has Li Meng, as well as the indifferent female Rapper Mu Qin, the sweet girl Li Chao, the plastic surgery doctor Xie Yuanji, the drama actor Cui Shaoyang, has been online on Tencent Video, go to see it ~
Hello, my name is Liu Cola has an egg, Dongqimen non-freelance writer, renting himself on Weibo for 1 yuan. I thought hard about my "possibility of getting rich" that day, and after thinking twice, I gave up.
"The extravagant moment of a rich man may be to buy 3 sets of 30 million villas at a time, and yesterday, when I bought the last 3 bottles of mineral water on the shelf for 3 yuan at a time, I actually felt a sense of luxury and satisfaction." 」
