But Max also understood why Caroline was bragging.
The greatest pain in the world is not to be born poor, but to suddenly fall into poverty.
Max thought that if he was Caroline, he would come down to this point, meet "old knowledge", be ridiculed by others, and have no golden finger of the protagonist of the network novel, then he could only comfort himself by boasting, let himself know that his life is not a complete failure.
"Is it listed on NASDAQ?" Jessica is not smiling.
"Yes Caroline said with a stiff head.
"I'm really a top student of Wharton Business School. I'm really ambitious." Jessica said, "well, I'm waiting for you to ring the bell. I hope not in a hundred years."
Caroline turned pale and said, "it won't be long."
Caroline's in a state of extreme embarrassment.
No strength, no confidence.
Caroline's words are empty words, empty to death.
Jessica almost broke her down in a few words.
"I'm not sure why you rich people come here. Do you need a robot boyfriend?" Max decided to break through for his friends, and directly changed the topic, "are you empty, lonely and cold?"
"The crystallization of science and technology, always want to see." Jessica's rank as bichi is higher than Max's imagination. "If it's good, it's no big deal to buy a boyfriend."
"Are you a single dog, too?" Max road.
"I have a boyfriend." Jessica said with a smile, "my boyfriend's name is Barton, and he's the successor to the Forrest group."
"And you buy a boyfriend?"
"Can't you?"
"Your boyfriend, Barton, won't he mind?"
"My boyfriend never mind if I buy a vibrator, just as I don't mind if I buy an inflatable doll."
"Er..."
Max found that Jessica bichi's degree was far beyond his imagination. She couldn't do anything to this woman with all her firepower. Her momentum was frustrated and she was a little dumbfounded for a moment.
"Jessica, I don't really want to talk about the past with you. You can go!" Seeing Max stand up for herself, Caroline is so moved that she plucks up her courage and turns over with Jessica.
Anyway, she doesn't expect Jessica to do anything. Jessica doesn't show mercy when she humiliates her. If you offend Jessica, offend her!
"I'm not here to talk about the past with you!" Jessica said innocently.
"You're not talking to me?" Caroline didn't feel right. "What are you doing here?"
"I need a seat. I'm late. Mr. Yang Xiaotian's arrangement is too free. There are no vacant seats now." Said Jessica.
"I don't have the virtue of giving up my seat to an old man." Caroline said, "and you're not an old man." Caroline said, feeling quite happy. I have a place to sit. You can stand and watch Yang Xiaotian praise you later!
"Aren't there many vacant seats on the stage? Why don't you go? That's for people with status. I think you are so precious that you should have a seat too! " Max said, pointing to the seat on the stage.
The seats on the stage are for real bigwigs. Although Yang Xiaotian arranged them freely and equally, he didn't want to be special. But Yang Xiaotian is not the Buddha of the Tathagata. He can cover the sky with his own hand. There are always people in the world who have to give face to him.
The seats on the stage become the symbol of status.
Obviously, compared with Caroline and Max, Jessica is a proper bourgeoisie, but compared with the real big man, Jessica is just a periphery.
The seats on the stage are either Yang Xiaotian's friends and relatives, or people who can make Yang Xiaotian give face. Jessica is worth hundreds of millions, which is astronomical to ordinary people, but in front of Yang Xiaotian, she is a younger brother.
Yang Xiaocai won't give Jessica face, so Jessica is not qualified to sit on the stage.
"It's too high there. I like the feeling below." Jessica's face changed, then she said with a smile. She won't admit that she's not qualified to sit there!
"Do you feel it down there?" Max's mouth is rubbish.
"You have feelings under you. I'd like to feel them." Jessica stares at max and looks at Caroline. "Caroline, I love your seat!"
"I won't give it to you!" Caroline said firmly.
"I know you are short of money." Said Jessica.
"I don't lack it." Caroline said with no confidence.
"No, you don't!" Jessica said seriously, looking into Caroline's eyes.
Four eyes opposite, Caroline has no way to lie, can only empty said: "money this kind of thing, anyone will lack, Yang Xiaotian will also lack, I am no exception."
"I'll pay a thousand dollars for your seat!" Said Jessica.
For a moment, Caroline was on the move.
She is really poor and scared.
But when you think of dignity, Caroline sticks to it.
"Jessica, don't think you can trample on my dignity if you have some bad money." Caroline said, "even if you give me ten million dollars, I won't give up my seat."
"Two thousand dollars." Jessica said it quietly.
One side of Max would like to persuade Caroline to agree, but she knows Caroline is a man of backbone, I'm afraid she won't take the money. It's not money, it's humiliation, though for max, she's happy to enjoy it and will shout to the world - please humiliate me, I love being humiliated!!!
"No!"
"Three thousand dollars!"
"No!"
"Five thousand dollars!"
"No!"
Caroline firmly refused, determined, as if the will of steel like iron, completely depending on money like dirt. But in fact, Caroline's heartache is like suffocation. It's money! Five thousand dollars!
When she worked hard as a waiter for a month, it was more than $2000. The dollar is more valuable, but the dollar is hard to earn!
"Caroline, you are so kind. Since you insist, I won't buy your seat." Said Jessica.
"Why not add more?" Caroline quipped, "I thought you'd add up to 10 million dollars all the way."
Jessica said a very hurtful words: "what you insist on is worth five thousand dollars. It's not worth a cent more... Ha ha..."
Caroline turned pale for a moment. Jessica, this is naked contempt, defined her dignity as five thousand dollars. She thought she held on to the temptation and kept her dignity, but it was just a shame for Jessica.
"That's too much..." Max looked at Jessica and turned his face. "Jessica, you're just a green pool!"
Max just scolded Jessica.
She hoped that Jessica would fight with herself. If she did, the embarrassment would be relieved. Anyway, she's not afraid to wear shoes barefoot. She's going to jail.
