Gao Qi sat in the front passenger seat, feeling a little uneasy. He didn't know why Huang Fei wanted to see him, but all the possibilities he could think of were not good, which made him very uneasy.
Now Gao Qi knew that Huang Fei was a member of the second team of the Danger Control Department. Now, the most important task of the Danger Control Department was not to prevent the arrival of the third catastrophe, but to manage the paranormals and deal with the mutants who failed to awaken.
Now, Espers were all at the top, and Huang Fei was in charge of managing Espers. That meant that he was above everyone else. Without a doubt, he was an important figure. Under normal circumstances, Gao Qi would never have the chance to come into contact with such an important figure.
Gao Qi didn't think it was a good thing that such a big shot like Huang Fei suddenly came to see him, so he naturally felt uneasy.
And all of Gao Qi's uneasiness fell into Huang Fei's eyes.
Glancing at Gao Qi, Huang Fei said indifferently, "What did you do just now?"
"I went to the library to return books."
"Is the distribution result out?"
"He was assigned to the No.7 Farm outside the city."
Huang Fei was a little surprised. He knew that Gao Qi would be assigned to the outside of the city, but Gao Qi's place still made him feel a little surprised.
"The No.7 Farm should be a new farm opened by the Pioneer Group. You, a fresh graduate, are going to the Pioneer Group? Are you kidding me? Are college students so cheap now?"
Gao Qi said with a wry smile, "Maybe it's because my shooting yesterday was too good. Now the City Guard doesn't need good marksmanship, but the Pioneer Group does."
Huang Fei didn't speak anymore. He began to think. After knowing where Gao Qi was going, he felt that this might be the best distribution result.
He couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. Looking at the uneasy Gao Qi, Huang Fei felt that he knew what to do, so he suddenly said, "How's the car?"
"Well, it's pretty good."
"Pretty good? It's just pretty good? This is the classic appearance of the most beautiful Mercedes-Benz SLS of the last era. I spent a lot of effort to drive this car shell mold. "
He was already past the age and stage of showing off, except for his car. Huang Fei would seize every opportunity to show off his car.
However, Gao Qi only nodded, and then looked a little disapproving. This made Huang Fei, who was used to exclamations and praises, feel a little uncomfortable.
"What's wrong? Don't you have any feelings or thoughts in this car?"
As long as Gao Qi said that the car was good, Huang Fei would casually mention a sky-high price in exchange for an unconcealable exclamation. But this time, he was disappointed.
"Well, I just feel that there's only one platform for these small cars, right? It's just that the exterior is a little unique, but the interior is no different from other cars. Oh, and this car is quite short. Bump into each other. "
Gao Qi, who was a little more than 1.8 meters tall, would bump into each other, but Huang Fei, who was only 1.6 meters tall, would not.
For some reason, Huang Fei suddenly felt that Gao Qi, who was originally quite pleasing to the eye, was not so pleasing to the eye now, although he was not looking at Gao Qi at the moment.
The car, or to be exact, the tram, accelerated again. It sped up on the road of the outer city that was full of factories and farms. It only took five minutes for them to see the tall wall of the inner city.
The solid wall, which was gray, 30 meters high, 5 meters thick at the bottom, and 4 meters thick at the top, separated the inner city and the outer city into two completely different worlds.
There were many people in the outer city, but it looked very bleak because everything in the outer city was rationed. It did not have the conditions to launch commercial activities at all. However, the inner city was different. The inner city was a city in the true sense of human beings. It was an old, old-fashioned, and traditional city.
As expected, Gao Qi's attention was fully attracted by the city gate. This gave Huang Fei the urge to show off again.
It had been a long time since he had the urge to satisfy such a low-level interest. However, Huang Fei knew that if he had not brought Gao Qi here, Gao Qi would never have been able to enter the gate for the rest of his life.
"This is the inner city. Have you been there?"
"Oh, I lived in the inner city before I was five years old, but I never went back after I moved to the outer city. Well, I remember that when I was young, I lived in the basement every day. There was nothing to eat, and I was always worried about those monsters attacking."
Gao Qi's words made Huang Fei feel a little better.
The inner city gate was heavily guarded, but Huang Fei showed his identification card and registered Gao Qi's identity card. He then easily brought Gao Qi into the inner city.
Behind the wall was a different world.
Although old, classic buildings, ugly but modern buildings that could be used as bunkers, green belts on the roadside, street lamps, bustling pedestrians, and dazzling signboards. All of these were too much for Gao Qi's eyes to take in.
"It's different from what I remember. The inner city now is really good!"
Gao Qi let out a heartfelt sigh of admiration, especially when he saw that the pedestrians on the street were wearing all kinds of clothes, which formed a sharp contrast with the thousands of people in the outer city. Just this point alone was an eye-opener for him, and those beautiful girls made him feel like he had been hit by a blow.
The school goddess in Gao Qi's heart seemed to have lost her color when he thought back to it.
Is this what a city should be like?
Gao Qi was dumbfounded. Looking at Gao Qi who wanted to stick his face to the glass, Huang Fei's mood suddenly became very good.
"The food in school is not that good, right? I'll treat you to a meal. What do you want to eat?"
Gao Qi looked back at Huang Fei in surprise. Then he said in surprise, "I can eat whatever I want to eat? Can it be like this? Then … what do you have? "
Huang Fei said very indifferently, "What does the outer city lack? Oh, there is very little meat in the outer city, but there is no lack of meat in the inner city. There is no lack of beef, mutton, pork, chicken, or anything. Of course, there are also things that the outer city does not have, such as ice cream or desserts. What do you want to eat?"
Gao Qi licked his lips and then he began to think deeply.
Two minutes later, Huang Fei said again, "You still haven't thought about it? What do you want to eat? "
"Well, I finally understand the principle of fish and bear paws. I want to eat braised pork. I heard that it is the best, but I also want to eat beef. I haven't eaten beef, but what about mutton? Mutton is also very good. What should I eat … "
Huang Fei was stunned. Then he smiled bitterly and said, "You are a Libra, right? You are so conflicted about eating. "
"Yes, I am a Libra. Uh, you decide. I will listen to your arrangement."
Huang Fei shrugged and said, "If you want to eat everything, then you can eat nothing. It is not a big deal."
Gao Qi was shocked and said, "That works? I can eat whatever I want to eat? I mean, can I eat all of it? "
Huang Fei shrugged again. He did not answer Gao Qi's question. He just turned a corner and parked the car in front of a restaurant he frequented.
"I will let you experience our traditional food. Let's eat here. Get out of the car."
Gao Qi waited for Huang Fei to open the car door for him. After getting out of the car with some difficulty, he looked up at the restaurant's signboard.
"Octagon Restaurant, good name!"
Huang Fei was very puzzled and said, "What is so good about this name?"
"Octagon Restaurant, how grand. It sounds much better than the canteen. Uh, there are only canteens in the outer city. There are canteens everywhere."
He was speechless again because Huang Fei rarely brought people from the outer city into the inner city. In the past, he did bring people from the outer city in to assist him in his investigation. It was impossible for him to treat people to a meal, so he did not know whether Gao Qi's reaction was normal or not.
The interior of the restaurant was the furnishings that Huang Fei was used to, but for Gao Qi, everything he saw was new. Just looking at the diners eating in twos and threes at the tables and looking at the dishes on the table, his eyes were fixed.
"Don't look at people like that. It is very embarrassing. Waiter, two, private room."
"Yes, sir. This way please."
A beautiful girl wearing a tight waiter uniform led the way in front. Gao Qi did not dare to look directly at the waiter's butt, but he could not help but glance at it from the corner of his eyes.
Huang Fei walked through the lobby with a smile and came to the private room at the back. When Gao Qi followed him into the private room, he said thank you to the waiter in a very low voice. He was not sure if the waiter heard him or not.
The table was very big. Huang Fei sat down and pointed to the seat next to him. After Gao Qi sat down, he directly handed the menu on the table to Gao Qi and then said to the waiter, "What are the specialties today? Well, I will order anything. One braised pork, one stewed mutton, one spiced beef, and one sweet and sour pork. How many? Give me some vegetables, some soup, and two bottles of beer. That's all for now. Oh, and add some ice cream. That's it. "
After the waiter left, Gao Qi, who was still holding the menu, was at a loss. He did not know if he should put the menu down. At this time, Huang Fei smiled and said, "You can't see this outside. I brought it for you to look at."
Gao Qi smiled awkwardly but politely. Then, he really studied the menu. He looked at the pictures on the menu and compared them with the dishes he had seen in books. He was really fascinated by the menu. However, what confused him was that there was no price on the menu. This was different from what he knew.
"Do you know why I brought you here?"
Before the dishes were served, Huang Fei spoke first. After hearing Huang Fei's words, Gao Qi immediately put down the menu and nodded.
Huang Fei was very surprised and said, "You know?"
Gao Qi smiled politely and said, "When you are polite, you must have a request."
"Uh, huh?"
Huang Fei was stunned again. He was a little confused at this moment.
Gao Qi said in a low voice, "I'm guessing that you've taken a fancy to my marksmanship. After all, it was our first meeting yesterday, and other than my marksmanship, I really don't have any outstanding qualities that you can remember."
Huang Fei rubbed his chin. Once again, he felt that Gao Qi wasn't as adorable as before. He was so adorable that it gave him a sense of satisfaction.
Gao Qi carefully said, "Did I guess wrong?"
Huang Fei put down his hand and frowned, "Well, you can't say that you guessed wrong. Then do you know why … why …"
Huang Fei thought about what he wanted to ask. Then he remembered why he brought Gao Qi to the inner city and why he brought him to the restaurant.
Huang Fei sighed and decided to change the way he asked, so he said very seriously, "When you came to the inner city and saw the difference between the inner city and the outer city, what do you think? Look at the people in the inner city and then look at the people in the outer city. What do you think? "
Gao Qi thought about it and did not say anything.
Huang Fei leaned back in his chair and said in a superior tone, "What do you eat in school?"
"Four hundred grams of staple food every day. Rice and noodles are rotated every other day. One egg every day. Two hundred grams of chicken every week. There are also two hundred grams of supplementary food every day. Sometimes it's vegetables, but most of the time it's potatoes."
"The pay of the workers in the outer city is not as good as the food of the students, but the workers in the inner city are paid. The food of the students in the outer city is what you said. There's nothing but chicken. What do the students in the inner city eat …"
After saying that with a smile, Huang Fei pointed at the menu in Gao Qi's hand and said with a smile, "Look at this menu and you can roughly guess what the students in the inner city eat. Then do you know why? Why is there such a difference? "
Gao Qi said very calmly, "Don't worry about scarcity but worry about inequality. Don't worry about poverty but worry about insecurity. Communication between the inner and outer city is strictly prohibited. The reason is no more than that."
Huang Fei opened his mouth slightly again. He left the back of his chair and looked at Gao Qi in a daze. After a while, he felt that Gao Qi had become annoying again.
