Chapter 5 Trying to Integrate with Classmates
Shanghai University has started the new semester.
In his previous life, Li Xiaofeng had never attended university. Like his classmates, everything in university was new and exciting.
However, in my previous life, a fairly famous young director once said that Shanghai University was a very abnormal school, where students were extremely competitive with each other.
Sure enough, Li Xiaofeng learned his lesson on the first day of school.
After I entered the dormitory, one of my roommates had already arrived.
"Hello, my name is Cao Jinpeng, what's your name, brother?"
This roommate, Cao Jinpeng, had an arrogant and spoiled air about him, as if he were the most important person in the world. He was just like the "national husband" in Li Xiaofeng's previous life: no one is as rich as his family.
He was wearing sunglasses and head-to-toe designer clothes, with a brand-new mobile phone slung across his right hip and earphones hanging from the front opening of his shirt, clearly indicating that he had an MP3 player in his pants pocket.
MP3 players were obsolete in Li Xiaofeng's previous life, but in this era, they are still the most fashionable electronic products.
You should know that many people were still using cassette tapes to listen to tape recorders back then. In this era, a Sony MP3 player would cost around a thousand yuan, which was equivalent to a month's salary for an average worker.
"Hello, my name is Li Xiaofeng."
Cao Jinpeng took off his glasses, glanced at Li Xiaofeng's attire, and asked with a smile, "Li Xiaofeng, right? What does your family do?"
Knowing that he would be living with these roommates for four years, any attempt to hide anything would seem ridiculous and unnecessary. So, Li Xiaofeng gave them a detailed account of his family situation.
"Orphan? Foster father? Worker?" Cao Jinpeng was utterly astonished.
What does your family do?
"My family is in the real estate business!" Cao Jinpeng's eyes were full of pride.
Holy crap, wow, this guy is definitely a rich kid!
Li Xiaofeng was somewhat shocked, but he remained outwardly calm and said in a light tone, "Impressive, it seems you are the legendary rich second generation!"
"Hey, there are plenty of people richer than my family, what am I? Oh, by the way, since your family isn't well-off, why didn't you stay in a regular dorm and instead chose the most expensive one!"
"The environment is great. The dorm has a bathroom and air conditioning. It only costs a few hundred yuan more, so I think it's worth it!"
Seemingly thinking that Li Xiaofeng was putting on a brave face, Cao Jinpeng's lips curled up slightly, and he asked with a hint of disdain, "Then how will you make a living in the future?"
"My family's house was demolished, and I received a compensation payment that was enough for my tuition and living expenses for four years of university. I put the rest of the money into the stock market, hoping to earn some pocket money!"
Cao Jinpeng was taken aback by Li Xiaofeng's words.
"Holy crap, Xiaofeng, you're really something else. Aren't you afraid of losing all your savings? Haven't you heard that saying?"
"What?"
"Investing in the stock market involves risks; proceed with caution!"
Li Xiaofeng smiled slightly and said cheerfully, "It's okay, I won't lose money. I have quite a bit of experience in investing and making money!"
He said that with a purpose.
Most people would think Li Xiaofeng was bragging when they heard this, but when his stocks appreciated and he suddenly had money, the effect was different.
Others will be more curious and intrigued by him, and will also have a greater sense of trust in him, which will be more beneficial for him to utilize the resources of his classmates in the future.
Sure enough, Cao Jinpeng was speechless and couldn't help but ask, "You know about stocks?"
"I don't really understand!"
"So what are your tips for investing and making money?"
Li Xiaofeng smiled mysteriously: "Trade secrets, not to be disclosed!"
Cao Jinpeng was speechless again.
Suddenly, as if he had discovered something new, he asked in surprise, "Xiaofeng, didn't you buy a cell phone?"
"Why would I buy a phone? There's no one left in my house!"
"You can call your classmate!"
Li Xiaofeng said with an annoyed look, "You said it yourself, we're all classmates, we see each other all the time, we live so close, can't you hear me if I shout? Why do you have to make a phone call?"
I think telephones are just decorations for us students. Even if we make calls, we only make a few a month, so there's really no need for one. I'll buy a new one if I really need one!
Although Li Xiaofeng's words made sense, the fact was that he really didn't have any money. If he did, he would have bought it even if it was just a decoration to wear on his waist.
People are judged by their clothes, and sometimes, people are just putting on an act.
Cao Jinpeng curled his lip and said in a slightly sarcastic tone, "Why don't you buy an MP3 player? Look at mine, it's a Sony, lightweight and compact, and it works really well!"
"I don't really like wearing headphones; my ears hurt after wearing them for a long time!"
"I think it's necessary to buy an MP3 player. You can use it to listen to English and also listen to music in your spare time!"
Li Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Dapeng, are you really that eager to learn? I believe you can use it to listen to music, but I'm not so sure about using it to listen to English!"
Cao Jinpeng said somewhat embarrassedly, "Hehe, it's all the same, it's all the same, it's very useful anyway. I was originally thinking of buying a computer, but I heard that high-power electrical appliances are not allowed in the dormitory, so I haven't bought one yet!"
"Why did you buy a computer? You're not going to use it for playing games, are you?!"
"Who said that? I'm using it for studying!"
"What games can you play? Do you play StarCraft? Age of Empires? Red Alert?"
Hearing Li Xiaofeng's words, Cao Jinpeng was dumbfounded and said awkwardly, "I've heard of it, but I've never played it. However, I know how to play Minesweeper!"
Seeing Li Xiaofeng's disdainful look, Cao Jinpeng quickly explained, "High school studies are too stressful, and my family is strict and won't let me play games!"
"Oh!"
Li Xiaofeng's calm tone revealed a cold arrogance that looked down on everything.
He adopted this posture intentionally; if he wanted to fit into a circle, he needed to have some advantage that others would respect.
To adults who haven't played games, gaming is seen as a waste of time and seems ridiculous. But to students, it's definitely a top-notch skill that they admire to a certain extent.
"Master, take me to the top and let me soar to new heights!" This is the dream of countless newbies!
Wealthy people are often more pragmatic than ordinary people, and the children of the rich are often more pragmatic than children from ordinary families.
However, in the eyes of ordinary people, ordinary children are better and more honest, while those rich kids are often snobbish and have poor character.
However, as they get older and understand the importance of money, they end up fawning over the rich kids.
Those rich kids, after experiencing the baptism of money, become less sensitive to it, which is why they develop that so-called "big picture" perspective.
In fact, the games Li Xiaofeng mentioned were all games he frequently played in internet cafes in his previous life, especially StarCraft, which was absolutely a world-renowned game in that era.
The renowned Blizzard Entertainment established its position in the gaming industry with this game.
