Firepower is king

Gao Guang didn't go to Sophia in the end, not because he was busy, but because he felt that since he was not from the same world, he shouldn't get involved.

So a week after returning to Los Angeles, Gao Guang finally boarded the plane home.

The plane is a Boeing 777, economy class, and the seats are in a 333 layout, which is a row of nine seats in groups of three.

The highlights are squeezed in the middle, with Mike on the left and Francisco on the right.

When the flight was just one third of the way, that is, four hours had passed, Gao Guang understood that those passengers who were willing to spend more than 100,000 yuan for first-class cabins were not stupid people with too much money, but that it was good to have money.

An economy class ticket costs about 9,000 yuan, business class ticket costs about 40,000 yuan, and first class ticket costs almost 110,000 yuan.

The money for the highlight was not brought by the strong wind, and he also had to pay for Francisco's air ticket for Mike. Think about it, it was only a twelve-hour journey, and he spent more than three hundred thousand to buy a first-class cabin. Unless he is crazy or stupid.

It's not like he's never flown before. Gao Guang really doesn't think there's any difference between economy class and first class. Anyway, the first class won't arrive before him.

But after flying on Mr. Smith's private jet twice and spending four hours with two big guys, Gao Guang discovered something.

It's nice to have money.

When the flight lasted more than eight hours, Gao Guang decided to buy business class for the return trip, and he would never suffer the pain of being squeezed in with two big guys.

By the tenth hour, Gao Guang started to feel bad for Mike.

This is probably the journey of consumption upgrade.

But it was all worth it. After landing, when I could finally walk around, Gao Guang felt like he was in first class economy class. He gritted his teeth and closed his eyes. It was like he had survived.

The journey home went smoothly, and there was nothing to say except that Gao Guang was followed by two burly men. No matter whether he was at the airport or taking a taxi, he would be looked at several times wherever he went.

Gao Guang's home is a family compound of a factory. Now that the factory has gone bankrupt, the factory workers have paid for the house. It is a typical old and broken house. Those who have the ability have moved out long ago. Most of the current residents are tenants and there is no property at all. This is the case.

The highest building is the fourth floor, and the roads in the community are also very narrow. Cars cannot drive downstairs, but the advantage is that there is a row of small rooms, which is convenient for storing sundries and other things.

Taxis cannot enter when they arrive at the gate of the community because there are no parking spaces. They park whenever there is a gap. Once a taxi encounters an oncoming car in the opposite direction, it cannot miss it, so it is not for the elderly or patients who are weak. Taxis don't go in at all.

This community is big, with more than 30 buildings, so Gao Guang still has to walk quite a distance from the community gate to get home, but it doesn't matter. He just drives downstairs. How many people will be able to see him back?

"Here we are, this is where I grew up!"

Gao Guang was dragging the suitcase with one hand and carrying a travel bag with the other. He struggled to hold the bag, shook his head and said, "Follow me!"

It's not that Mike and Francisco don't help the boss get things, but they have more things on their hands.

There are actually foreigners living in this old shabby little community, because not every foreigner has money, right? But today is different. Wherever Mike and Francisco go today, as long as they meet someone, they will definitely You have to take a good look at them.

Gao Guang deliberately chose a Saturday to go home. Why, wasn't it just to let more neighbors see him?

It must be high-profile, flamboyant, and dazzling.

The time was just right, after five o'clock in the afternoon, it was the peak time for people to come in and out.

An old lady carrying vegetables was walking slowly in front, the highlight passed by, and then she suddenly stopped and said: "Aunt Wang, it's time to buy vegetables."

"Ah, shopping for groceries, oh, Xiaoguang!"

The aunt buying groceries had a look of surprise on her face. She looked at Gao Guang, then looked at Mike and Francisco beside Gao Guang, and said with unconcealed surprise: "You, are you... just back?"

"Yeah, I just came back, Aunt Wang is leaving first."

Aunt Wang quickly said: "Who are these two people?"

"Oh, my friend, come with me to play for a few days. Let's go first, Aunt Wang."

Gao Guang and the others walked to the front, and Mike breathed a sigh of relief and said, "China is much better than I thought! It's so advanced, I was deceived by the movie!"

There’s no need to ask what Mike’s impression was, it’s definitely not going to be better anyway.

This is the tenth time Mike has said this today, so ignore him.

At this time, a middle-aged man in his forties hurriedly walked over. Then he suddenly stopped and said to Gao Guang: "Xiaoguang! You are back!"

"Hey, Uncle Liu, get out."

"Ah, get out, have you... just returned from abroad?"

"just came back."

"Are you still going out?"

"Well, get out."

"Hey, where is Xiao Guangyou hanging out? I heard your dad said you went to Mexico? My son is in Canberra. Do you know Canberra?"

Gao Guang was really too lazy to say more. He smiled and said, "I'll talk about it later, I'll talk about it later. I'll go home first."

Gao Guang quickened his pace, and Mike said with emotion: "The people here are so friendly, boss, it seems you are very popular in this community."

"Popular? Hehe, hehe..."

Gao Guang laughed a few times with no meaning, and said angrily: "That old lady just now, she has such a big mouth. Let me tell you, if she knows something, in less than three days, half of the old men in this community will Every old lady needs to know that the reason why I was fired was because she went out of her way to tell me what the hell.”

Mike was slightly stunned and said: "Being fired?"

"As for that man just now, who doesn't know who he is? Why are you pretending to be so big? He shows off his wealth all day long. Damn it, he earns eight thousand yuan a month. What kind of rich man is he? I'm really embarrassed for him, isn't it my son? Have you gone to study abroad? You went to a pheasant university and you still have the nerve to show off in front of me. It’s rubbish!”

Gao Guang was indignant, but also felt the pleasure of getting ahead, but overall, he did feel proud.

There is a certain mentality of a small citizen, but the problem is that Gao Guang is a small citizen to begin with. He is not in Baghdad now. When he returns home, his mentality will naturally change.

At this time, Gao Guang suddenly saw a woman riding an electric bicycle. She was in her forties or fifties. It was different from before. Gao Guang suddenly said loudly: "Aunt Zhang, Aunt Zhang."

The woman riding an electric bicycle stopped, and then she said with a surprised look on her face: "Xiaoguang, you are back!"

This time his tone was no longer pure curiosity, but also filled with deep joy and concern. Gao Guang immediately said: "I just came back and haven't entered the house yet. Aunt Zhang, please wait a moment, please wait a moment."

Gao Guang put the bag on the ground, unzipped it, turned it over twice, took out a bag with the Lakers logo, and said excitedly: "Aunt Zhang, I came back from Los Angeles, and I went to the Lakers area specifically. The jersey I bought in the store was given to Xiao Wu.”

Aunt Zhang said at a loss: "Oh, Xiao Wu is not at home. He is at school and has not been back since summer vacation."

"I know, I just happened to meet you, so I won't send it home. Please tell him."

"Okay, then I'll thank you on behalf of Xiao Wu, and go have dinner at home when you have time."

Gao Guang said goodbye to his neighbor happily, and Francisco said this time: "This must be my friend's mother, I can tell."

"Yes, my mother is a really nice person. Her son and I have a very good relationship. We had a good relationship when we were young, but we had less fun after we went to college."

I finally arrived downstairs at my house, but today, Saturday, why were there so few people outside? I only met three acquaintances in total.

It can only be said that people nowadays don’t like to gather together and chat outside. Those old men and women don’t like to get together unless they are dancing in the square. It’s boring.

"We're here, this is the building."

Gao Guang stopped, and then he said to Mike and Francisco: "Do you remember everything I said? Don't let it slip to me."

Mike immediately said: "Don't worry, boss, you will never be wrong."

Francisco shrugged and said: "First of all, your parents don't speak English. If they can, I will speak Italian, so don't worry, I will definitely not let anything slip."

Care leads to chaos, care leads to chaos.

Gao Guang exhaled and walked to the door of a unit with excitement. He didn't even wait to knock on the door and shouted directly: "Mom, open the door, I'm back."

The security door opened immediately, revealing a fat, round face, and a middle-aged woman with white hair on her temples and an ugly perm leaning out.

"Xiaoguang..."

Seeing that his mother was in danger of crying, Gao Guang immediately said: "Mom, why did you perm your hair? This is too ugly!"

The highlighter's mother immediately diverted her attention. She lightly slapped the highlighter's arm, and then said with a worried look: "Nonsense, why does it look ugly? Your aunt went to me to have it permed, and it cost more than a hundred." Is it really ugly? Oh, this is your friend, please come in, please come in, um... welcome."

Gao Guang entered the door, Mike bent down, lowered his head, and said politely: "It's settled, Ayi."

Mike followed in, Francisco bowed, bowed, and said loudly: "Ayihao."

A man stood at the door of the kitchen. He was still wearing an apron and holding a head of garlic in his hand. He looked at the highlight, then looked at Mike and Francisco, and just nodded and said: "Back, um, Just come back, Xiaoguang, please tell your friends to sit down, please ask someone to sit down."

The living room is very small, and the kitchen is also very small. After all, the house is only about 60 square meters in total, but the two bedrooms are not very small. It is a typical layout of an old house.

There is only a very narrow three-person sofa in the living room, and next to it is a single sofa. In front of the sofa is a coffee table with some paint peeling off the legs. There is a plastic basin on the coffee table with some fruits in it.

It can be seen that the house has been tidied up specially. All the clutter in the living room has been cleared away and it is very clean. However, Gao Guang's mother seemed very embarrassed. She stood there and said with some embarrassment: "The house is too small, eh. , Sit down quickly, Xiaoguang, and invite your friends to eat fruit."

"Don't be so polite. We are all our own people. There is no need to see them outside. Dad, what are you having for dinner?"

"There are so many things. Why are you so early? Didn't you say you wouldn't come back until after ten o'clock in the evening? Really, you are so passive now."

Gao Guang couldn't wait any longer. He said anxiously: "We'll make dinner later. Come and see the gift I brought you. Hurry."

Gao Guang's mother was already pouring water. She whispered: "Xiao Guang, your two friends... can you understand?"

"I don't understand, I just learned to say hello so I can say goodbye or something."

"That's good. I heard you said you wanted to bring a friend back, so I went to get a perm. It cost more than a hundred. Isn't it really ugly?"

Gao Guang smiled slightly and said: "How can it be ugly? I'm just teasing you. It's good-looking. It's very good-looking. Come on, Mom, look what I brought you. Cosmetics, a full set of brand-name skin care products. I don't understand either. Bought blindly.”

"Why did you buy this thing? What a waste of money!"

Gao Guang took out a bag and said: "Also, look at this bag, it just doesn't have packaging, but it is genuine, absolutely genuine!"

"You're crazy! How much does this bag cost! You, aren't you spending money blindly?"

Gao Guang said nonchalantly: "It's not expensive, it's all zero...zero tariff. It's cheap. It's much cheaper. You can use it however you want, and you can use it whatever you want in the future. Your son, I'm rich and I don't care about these small money. You can just wait and enjoy the blessings in the future." "

The newly permed hair could no longer attract all the attention. Gao Guang's mother finally shed tears. At this time, Gao Guang's father said nervously and seriously: "Xiaoguang! You...are not doing anything wrong?" ?”
