Chapter 1205: 831 Sister (Double Requests for Monthly Votes!)
"I heard nowadays delivery guys are starting to deliver houses?"
Luo Peng asked Qu Jing.
There’s a vast societal gap between the two, yet Young Master Luo showed no pretense.
Objectively speaking, it’s not that he sees things without bias; it’s just that he has no prejudice against wealth or poverty.
Qu Jing simply encountered a setback in life. At any rate, he’s a professional delivery man under contract. Jiang Chen had it much worse back then, scrounging for odd jobs, but it didn’t prevent them from becoming like brothers.
To be fair, if you set aside the flaws in emotion, Young Master Luo’s core values are pretty upright.
"The kangaroos don’t have that benefit, Great Wall Special Delivery does," Qu Jing replied.
"Then why didn’t you go to Great Wall Special Delivery?"
Luo Peng was puzzled and curious.
The yellow uniform on Qu Jing signified he worked for Kangaroo Delivery.
Qu Jing paused his chopsticks, feeling calm even when at a low point, "Because the housing benefit at Great Wall Special Delivery is only for employees who have been there for several years, and I don’t plan to stay in this line of work for the long haul."
Luo Peng suddenly understood.
He almost forgot.
The other party was only delivering food temporarily due to some hardships.
"But in all honesty, if the housing benefit is real, being a delivery man is actually a decent job. For instance, in a place like East Sea, how many positions are there where you can afford a house after a few years of work? You probably couldn’t even afford a toilet."
Luo Peng spoke with feeling.
"Brother Luo, you’re talking about the toilets in your house, right?"
Xu Siyi teased.
Luo Peng sighed, "Where have I got a toilet? I’m still renting to this day."
Zheng Jingjing and the other girls were somewhat surprised.
The CEO of a hundred-billion enterprise, renting?
But then again, they’re students from a prestigious university, not foolish.
The ’renting’ from Luo Peng’s mouth and the ’renting’ of an ordinary person were definitely not the same thing.
Many tycoons and celebrities don’t like buying houses; they’d rather spend tens to hundreds of millions a month on renting.
Different classes, different values; it’s difficult to understand each other across strata.
"I wonder if Great Wall Special Delivery includes part-timers in that benefit. If so, I might run some deliveries after work."
Luo Peng’s musing made everyone, including Boss Jiang, laugh.
"If you really want to try, take a day off tomorrow."
Boss Jiang offered generously, "Qu can be your mentor."
In terms of age, Qu Jing was indeed a few years older, but there was a great disparity in their respective strata.
Jiang Chen’s address made Qu Jing feel both flattered and out of place.
"Brother Luo, you better not try. Delivering food is tough; you might not last even a day."
Guo Ran genuinely advised.
"Heh, just kidding. I am directionally challenged; forget about making money, I’d probably lose money just for being late."
Young Master Luo was good at taking advice when he could, going with the flow.
It was like a casual get-together among friends, chatting about everything under the sun.
"Brother Luo, that church you mentioned earlier, I definitely want to find a chance to visit it someday."
"Westminster Abbey."
"Right, Westminster Abbey."
Xu Siyi wasn’t embarrassed at all and nudged Zheng Jingjing’s arm, "After graduation, we’ll travel abroad together, learn from Brother Luo, and broaden our horizons."
"I don’t agree with that view."
Luo Peng spoke while picking food, smiling: "If it’s just to broaden your horizons, there’s no need to go abroad. Going to the countryside, the rural areas, it’s the same."
His unusual statement immediately drew everyone’s attention.
"Go to the countryside, the rural areas to broaden your horizons? To see farmers farm? "
Xu Siyi laughed.
"Why not?"
Luo Peng looked up, no longer frivolous, his expression serious, "Xu Siyi, let me ask you a question. Do you know the difference between wheat and rice?"
"..."
Xu Siyi fell silent, then said: "Isn’t wheat just rice?"
Luo Peng was unruffled, his gaze shifting, "Zheng?"
The forthright Zheng Jingjing was a bit embarrassed, "Wheat doesn’t seem to be rice."
Luo Peng gave her an approving and encouraging look, "Then do you know the difference between the two?"
Zheng Jingjing was at a loss for words.
"Guo?"
"..."
Luo Peng’s gaze finally shifted to Li Shuru.
But this undoubtedly touched upon Li Shuru’s blind spot in her knowledge as well.
"Although both are cereals, wheat is grown on dry land, while rice is grown in paddy fields."
It was Jiang Chen, knowledgeable and versatile, who clarified things for his girlfriend.
As students from a prestigious university being unable to distinguish rice from wheat might seem absurd, but somehow made sense.
Jiang Chen, who studied in the same university as the girls, came from a different family background; his grandparents are authentic farmers who live off the land. He usually spent his summer vacations "holidaying" in the countryside.
Those studying art, not to mention their affluent backgrounds, probably rarely had the experience of going to rural areas.
"How much is a jin of eggs, how much for a liang of rice, who knows? You are not allowed to speak,"
Luo Peng didn’t allow Jiang Chen, the showoff, to interject.
The result was dead silence.
Luo Peng let out a light sigh.
"Do you know then? How much is a jin of eggs? How much for a liang of rice?"
Xu Siyi couldn’t help but retort.
"I dunno."
Luo Peng shrugged his shoulders, complementing his expensive and tasteful suit, answering with complete conviction.
"..."
All were silent.
"Because I don’t know, that’s why I’m asking you all," Young Master Luo stated plainly.
Xu Siyi’s lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something but didn’t, and finally, she just laughed.
"Traveling abroad, diving, skiing, strolling downstairs, in the fields and countryside, witnessing the world, aren’t they all just facets of the world?"
