Chapter 5: Respect for Others.
This is the inner city, have you been there?
Do you know why I brought you here?
The Bafang Building, how grand it is! It sounds much better than the cafeteria. Oh, in the outer city, there is only a cafeteria, and wherever you go, there is a cafeteria.
The interior decoration of the restaurant was commonplace for Huang Fei, but for Gao Qilai, everything he saw was fresh. Just looking at the diners eating in groups of two or three at the tables, and then looking at the dishes on the table, made his eyes widen.
As long as Gao Qi says this car is good, Huang Fei will casually mention an exorbitant price, followed by an undisguised exclamation of surprise. However, this time he was disappointed.
高起苦笑着道 : `` 可能就是因为我昨天打靶的成绩太好了吧 , 现在城防军不需要什么好枪法 , 但是野外拓荒团还需要。''
Huang Fei said in surprise, "Do you know?"
Okay, sir, this way please.
He smiled politely and said, "When showing respect to others, there must be a request."
Yes, I'm a Libra. Um, it's up to you to decide. I'll listen to your arrangement.
Huang Fei was once again somewhat astonished, and at this moment, he felt a bit confused.
It's different from what I remember, the inner city is really nice now!
The school goddess in Gao Qixin's mind seems to have lost its color when he thinks back on it now.
Every day, 400 grams of staple food, with rice and noodles alternating every other day. One egg per day, 200 grams of chicken per week, and 200 grams of supplementary food per day, sometimes vegetables but mostly potatoes.
Um, hmm?
Gao Qizuo felt uneasy sitting in the passenger seat because he didn't know why Huang Fei was looking for him. However, all the possibilities he could think of were not good, which made him very anxious.
The heightened insecurity fell into Huang Fei's eyes.
Gao Qifa expressed sincere admiration, especially when he saw pedestrians on the street wearing various clothes, which formed a sharp contrast with the uniformity of the outer city area. This alone broadened his horizons, and those beautiful girls gave him a sense of shock.
Nowadays, superhumans are considered superior beings, and Huang Fei, who is in charge of managing them, is a person above all others. He is undoubtedly a prominent figure that Gao Qiyong would never have the chance to interact with under normal circumstances.
The car, to be precise, is an electric car that accelerates again. It zooms along the roads in the outskirts of the city, where factories and farms are scattered. In just five minutes, you can see the tall walls of the inner city.
Huang Fei put down his hand, then he frowned and said, "Hmm, it's not exactly guessing wrong, but do you know why... why..."
He smiled awkwardly without losing his politeness, then he really started to study the menu, looking at the pictures on the menu and confirming the dishes he had seen in the book, which really fascinated him. But what puzzled him was that the menu did not indicate the prices, which was different from what he knew.
The workers in the outer city are paid less than the students' meals, while the workers in the inner city receive wages. The outer city students' meals are just as you said, with nothing but chicken, while the inner city students have better food options...
Huang Fei shrugged and said, "If you want to eat everything, then just eat everything. What's the big deal?"
Behind the wall is another world.
Now Gao Qi has already known that Huang Fei is a member of the Second Group of the Risk Control Department. The primary task of the Risk Control Department now is not to guard against the arrival of the third major catastrophe, but to manage the superhumans and deal with the mutants that have become after failed awakenings.
Huang Fei smiled and swaggered through the lobby to the back parlor. As he entered the parlor, he quietly thanked the waiter with a raised heel, his voice so low that it was unclear whether the waiter heard him or not.
Has the allocation result come out?
Assigned to Farm No.7 outside the city.
Turning his head in surprise, Gao Qi looked at Huang Fei and said in astonishment, "You can eat whatever you want? Is that possible? Then... what are the options?"
Quite good? Just quite good? This is the most beautiful Mercedes-Benz SLS classic shape of the previous era. I've put a lot of effort into making the mold for this car shell.
The waiters have all left, and the tall man holding the menu is a bit at a loss. He doesn't know whether he should put down the menu. At this moment, Huang Fei smiled and said, "You can't see this outside, so I brought it for you to have a look."
Glancing at Gao Qi, Huang Fei said indifferently, "What did you go do just now?"
The dishes haven't been served yet. Huang Fei spoke first, and Gao Qi immediately put down the menu after hearing Huang Fei's words, then nodded.
I am going to the library to return books.
Let me show you our traditional cuisine, just eat here and get off the car.
Once again speechless, because Huang Fei really rarely brings people from the outer city into the inner city. In the past, when he did bring people from the outer city in, it was truly only to assist him in his investigations. Inviting people to dinner is absolutely impossible, so he doesn't know if Gao Qi's reaction is normal.
The security at the inner city gate was tight, but Huang Fei showed his credentials and registered Gao Qi's identity card, and easily brought Gao Qi into the inner city.
Is this what a city should really look like?
How about it, sitting in this car, don't you have any feelings or thoughts?
A solid wall, gray in color, thirty meters tall, with a bottom thickness of five meters and a top thickness of four meters, separates the inner city from the outer city, creating two completely different worlds.
High and low voice: "I guess you are impressed by my marksmanship. After all, yesterday was our first meeting, and besides my excellent marksmanship, I don't have any outstanding qualities that can leave a lasting impression on people."
Be cautious and careful: "Did I guess wrong?"
Couldn't help but show a satisfied smile. Looking at Gao Qi, who was uneasy, Huang Fei felt that he knew what to do. So he suddenly said, "How about this car?"
Huang Fei stopped talking. He began to ponder. After knowing where Gao Qi went, he felt that perhaps this was the best allocation result.
Two minutes later, Huang Fei said again: "Still haven't decided? What do you actually want to eat?"
A beautiful girl, wearing a tight waitress uniform, leads the way in front. Her tall eyes dare not look directly at the waitress's buttocks, but she can't help but sneak a peek with the corner of her eye.
Gaoqi doesn't think it's a good thing for someone as powerful and influential as Huang Fei to suddenly come looking for him, so he naturally feels uneasy.
Huang Fei reached out and touched his chin. He suddenly felt that he didn't look as rustic as before, but rather cute in a satisfying way.
Exhaled a sigh of relief, Huang Fei decided to change his questioning approach. He then asked in a serious tone: "When you arrived at the inner city, did you have any thoughts on the difference between the inner and outer cities? When you looked at the people in the inner city and compared them to those in the outer city, what came to your mind?"
It's been a long time since I've had the urge to satisfy such low-level interests, but Huang Fei knows that if he doesn't bring Gao Qi along, Gao Qi will never be able to enter this door in his lifetime.
高起 licked his lips, then he began to ponder.
Although old-fashioned, the classic old buildings, as well as the new buildings that are ugly but can be used as fortresses, the green belts on the roadside, street lamps, and the bustling pedestrians, dazzling signs, all make for a breathtaking sight.
I want to ask something, Huang Fei thought for a moment, and then he remembered why he brought Gao Qilai to the inner city and the reason why he took him to the restaurant.
The outer city area has a considerable population, but it appears desolate because everything in the outer city is under a rationing system and lacks the conditions for conducting commercial activities. However, the inner city is different. The inner city is the true embodiment of a city in the human sense, a city that is historical, old-fashioned, and traditional.
The Eight Directions Building, what a great name!
Well, I finally understand the saying "you can't have your cake and eat it too". I want to eat braised pork, which I heard is the most delicious, but I also want to try beef, which I've never had before. But what about lamb? Lamb is also very good. What should I eat...
The table is very large. Huang Fei sat down directly and pointed to the seat next to him. After sitting down, he directly handed the menu on the table to Gao Qi, and then said to the waiter, "What are the special dishes today? Hmm, I'll just order randomly. Give me a braised pork, a stewed lamb, a sauced beef, and also a sweet and sour pork ribs. How many dishes is that? Also, some greens, a soup, and two bottles of beer. That's all for now. Oh, also add a scoop of ice cream, that's it." Then he said to the waiter, "What are the special dishes today? Hmm, I'll just order randomly. Give me a braised pork, a stewed lamb, a sauced beef, and also a sweet and sour pork ribs. How many dishes is that? Also, some greens, a soup, and two bottles of beer. That's all for now. Oh, also add a scoop of ice cream, that's it."
Huang Fei was taken aback, then he forced a smile and said, "Are you a Libra? Even having a meal is such a dilemma."
Don't look at people like that, it's very embarrassing. Two waiters, in the elegant room.
After thinking for a while, Gao Qi remained silent.
After Gao Qi and Huang Fei opened the car door for him, he got out of the car with some effort and looked up at the sign of the restaurant.
Is Farm No. 7 the newly opened farm by the pioneering team? Are you kidding me, a fresh graduate going to join the pioneering team? Are college graduates so worthless now?
高起果然被城门吸引了全部的注意力 , 这让黄飞重新生出了炫耀的冲动。
Huang Fei leaned back on the chair, and then he asked in a condescending tone, "What do you eat at school?"
I don't know why, but Huang Fei suddenly felt that Gao Qi, who used to look quite pleasing to the eye, now doesn't look so pleasing anymore, even though he is not looking at Gao Qi at the moment.
After finishing speaking with a smile, Huang Fei pointed to the menu in Gao Qi's hand and said with a smile, "Take a look at this menu, and you will have a rough idea of what the students in the inner city eat. So, do you know why? Why is there such a difference?"
After Gao Qi's words, Huang Fei felt a little relieved in his heart.
Having passed the age and stage of showing off, except for his car, Huang Fei seizes every opportunity to flaunt it.
High Qimu was dumbfounded, while looking at Gaoqi, he almost wanted to press his face against the glass. Huang Fei's mood suddenly improved.
But Gao Qi just nodded slightly, and then seemed a bit skeptical, which made Huang Fei, who was accustomed to astonishment and praise, feel a little uncomfortable.
Someone who is a little over 1.8 meters tall will hit their head, but Huang Fei, who is 1.67 meters tall, won't.
Huang Fei was still slightly surprised. He knew that Gao Qi was going to be assigned to the outskirts of the city, but Gao Qi's destination still seemed somewhat unbelievable to him.
Well, I just feel that this kind of small car now only has one platform, right? It's just that besides the unique appearance, there's not much difference inside and other cars, um, and also this car is quite low, prone to bumping.
Huang Fei opened his mouth slightly again. His body moved away from the back of the chair and he stared at Gao Qi in a daze. After a moment, he once again felt that Gao Qi had become annoying.
Well, that's good.
The school meals are not very good. I'll treat you to a meal. What would you like to eat?
Upon hearing this, he was greatly surprised and exclaimed, "Is this even possible? You can eat whatever you want, and I mean everything?"
Huang Fei said indifferently, "What is lacking in the outer city? Oh, there is very little meat in the outer city, but there is no shortage of meat in the inner city, such as beef, mutton, pork, chicken, and of course, things that the outer city doesn't have, like ice cream or desserts. What do you want to eat?"
Huang Fei shrugged again. He didn't answer Gao Qi's question, but just turned around and parked the car in front of a familiar restaurant.
Huang Fei was very puzzled and said, "What's so good about this name?"
High Qi's attitude was indifferent: "Do not worry about scarcity, but worry about inequality; do not worry about poverty, but worry about unrest." Strictly prohibit communication and exchange between the inner and outer cities, and the reasons are nothing more than this.
Oh, I used to live in the inner city before I was five, but I haven't been back since moving to the outer city. I remember living in the basement every day when I was a child, with hardly anything to eat, and constantly worrying about those monsters breaking in.
