"What, what? Why is Touki looking for Nangong? "
"Could it be …" Shangguan Feifei's face darkened as a thought flashed through her mind.
"But Touki and Nangong don't communicate much. It's not an exaggeration to say that they are not familiar. Why?"
"Maybe it's because they are going to graduate in half a year, so they can't suppress their inner feelings anymore. Maybe they want to talk about it without regrets?"
"Why is it Nangong? Touki doesn't know that the Nangong family has no chance of reviving. Nangong Masaharu is just a commoner with a little experience. "
There were all kinds of envious, jealous, and unwilling voices.
As for the boys, apart from envy, they had to admit that Touki had a good eye. Nangong was outstanding in both appearance and temperament.
If it weren't for her cold personality, there would be a lot of boys chasing after her. A few of them had the courage to confess, but they were also coldly rejected, leaving behind memories of their self-esteem hurt.
Therefore, a considerable number of boys also expressed their curiosity. They didn't know whether Touki would succeed this time.
"Touki?"
Nangong Masaharu was very surprised. Feeling the malicious attention around her, she was a little flustered and at a loss for a moment.
She didn't know how to reply.
Should she reject him on the spot, tactfully, or after school?
Her brain was in a state of confusion, and her face was slightly red.
"I'll wait for you there after school, Nangong. I look forward to meeting you."
Li Dong dropped this sentence and turned back to his seat.
Nangong Masaharu was stunned. She hadn't agreed yet, but he was acting on his own.
"He's too cunning!"
Nangong Masaharu gritted her teeth and secretly made up her mind. "Touki, I can't agree to your request."
…
Soon, the school bell rang.
Behind the teaching building.
After waiting for about 20 minutes.
A slim and graceful figure finally arrived. A gust of wind that caused the leaves to rustle passed by, causing her black hair to flutter. Her exquisite face and cold temperament emitted an aura of 'keeping people at a distance of a thousand miles'.
"You're here, Nangong."
Li Dong said to her with a sunny smile on his face.
Nangong Masaharu was unmoved and said in a cold voice, "Tell me quickly, Touki. What do you want?"
"Uh, can I really tell you? Nangong, you don't seem to be in a good mood," Li Dong asked.
"Don't say it if you're afraid of being rejected. You only have one chance. I won't be called out by you anymore, Touki."
Nanjo Masaharu said with a frown. What she disliked the most were boys who loved to be in the limelight and were surrounded by countless girls. To be honest, she didn't have much interest in Touki Ryu, who stood in front of her.
"Then I'll say it."
Li Dong took a deep breath and his expression became serious. "Student Nangong, I've always thought that you're not bad. You're my type. So, please be my Gu en …"
"I refuse!"
"I refuse!" Nanjo Masaharu interrupted him and covered his words.
Li Dong was stunned. He spread his hands and said, "No way, Nangong. It's just being a consultant. It's not like I won't pay you. Why are you rejecting me so directly?"
Huh?
Gu... consultant?
What the hell was this? A trace of embarrassment appeared on Nanjo Masaharu's face. Just now … did she hear it wrong?
"It's like this, Student Nangong. Relying on the two mobile games, I've saved a lot of money, about one billion. It should be enough to reach the threshold of the aristocracy. There's hope for me to be promoted to the aristocratic class. Recently, I've also been looking for ways in this regard. I plan to spend a sum of money to improve my social status …
"It's just that I don't know how the aristocracy lives. I need to pay attention to those customs and etiquette. But I'm a boor and have no idea how to be a qualified aristocrat. I need someone to help me become my personal consultant and familiarize me with the aristocratic life.
"Student Nangong, you should have some experience in this regard and know those complicated rules. If you're willing to become my personal consultant and give me some guidance, I believe I'll soon become a qualified aristocrat," Li Dong explained.
Seeing Nanjo Masaharu lower her head, blushing, and trembling slightly, he hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, Student Nangong. I know the situation of your family, but I didn't mean to offend you. I sincerely want to ask for your help."
"You … you bastard!"
Nanjo Masaharu couldn't bear such a huge contrast. She turned and fled the scene.
…
A few more days passed.
After a Herculean effort, Nanjo Masaharu was finally persuaded by Li Dong and agreed to become his "personal consultant."
The reason for her persuasion was quite simple: a monthly salary of 100,000 dollars. After the decline of the Nangong family, even if some close families provided relief, the standard of living was still greatly reduced. It was almost a drastic transition from "delicacies" to "simple tea and tea." For Nanjo Masaharu, who was used to a life of luxury, this was physiologically difficult to get used to, even if she tried her best to endure it.
If she had an income of 100,000 dollars every month, she would be able to eat whatever she wanted and buy some expensive goods. In many ways, she wouldn't have to force herself and endure it anymore.
The temptation of material things eventually defeated her spiritual perseverance.
Nanjo Masaharu, who had a relatively contradictory mentality, entered her role and became Li Dong's personal consultant.
Therefore, from Nanjo Masaharu, in addition to learning a lot of aristocratic social etiquette, she also consulted a lot of valuable information about the aristocratic class.
Protoss > Aristocrat > Commoner.
Of the three classes, the Protoss were at the top, but their population was small and they were responsible for formulating top-level strategies.
Of course, the aristocrats were mainly involved in policy implementation.
As Nanjo Masaharu envied and sighed, the image and characteristics of the aristocratic group emerged in Li Dong's mind.
Monopoly. Aristocrats who were businessmen generally monopolized a certain industry in a certain area.
Hereditary. Aristocrats who were politicians and held public positions such as members of parliament and public representatives were hereditary from generation to generation. Although there was democracy, the fengshui rotated among those few families.
Corruption, extremely corruption. Many aspects were done to the extent of legality. Those who were convicted of "corruption" were unscrupulous to the extent of being unscrupulous.
There were also many other problems, all of which were very serious. It was not an exaggeration to describe them as extremely extravagant.
Compared with the living conditions of the ordinary commoner class, the fact that they did not rise up in revolt and take to the streets in mass protests was entirely due to the highly developed productivity. It was difficult for ordinary people to starve to death even if they wanted to.
"With such a social structure, it's impossible not to make major adjustments. This is definitely the late stage."
"But it's necessary for the aristocrats to exist. More than two hundred years ago, if there weren't 'aristocrats' leading the way, and if they didn't take out part of the benefits to maintain the 'aristocratic' class, even the Protoss, who had absolute force to eliminate all opposition voices, couldn't establish a stable and reliable rule."
"Clamping down on the aristocratic class would immediately lead to catastrophic chaos."
"So … we can only make gentle reforms and make up for it, instead of smashing and destroying everything."
Li Dong muttered to himself. The final reform plan had basically taken shape in his mind.
His nearly two years of high school experience at Xihai No. 3 High School had also come to an end.
