Can You Afford Fried Dough Sticks?
The staircase leading to the fifth floor was narrow and oppressive.
Xu Yi took off his delivery uniform and put on a wide-necked suit with a large round neck. He was still a little unaccustomed to it, looking like a big monkey in a baggy suit, which looked ridiculous no matter how he tried to show it off.
But when Xu Yi looked at the screen, he found that his Livestream Viewers weren't mocking him; instead, they were all focused on the banquet on the fifth floor.
Even millionaires with millions invested in stocks aren't qualified to go upstairs; how Family Banquet must this be?
"I heard that rich people don't need group-buying coupons to drink Mixue Lava City, they don't need to order set meals at KOC, and they don't even need the 9.9 yuan coupon for Rising Antivirus. Is that true?"
"No, bro, where did you hear this rumor? That's way too exaggerated! Do you really think Rich Bro's money grows on trees? He doesn't even need group-buying coupons? Could he afford to drink without them?"
"Fun fact: These days, not using group-buying coupons isn't a sign of wealth. Real rich people can't show off their status without carrying around a couple of Da Ming fried dough stick."
"What the heck is Da Ming fried dough stick? Is it worth that much? It's just two for a dollar, isn't it?"
"Upstairs, if you're ignorant, then keep your mouth shut. It's common knowledge that the wealthy now always order Da Ming fried dough stick when they eat out!"
"Holy crap, is this the Da Ming fried dough stick, one of the world's nine most precious ingredients, comparable to foie gras, truffles, and abalone?"
"I heard that Buffett wants to eat a Da Ming fried dough stick, he has to verify his financial situation in advance and eat a few pieces of dry bread beforehand. Otherwise, if he rushes to eat a Da Ming fried dough stick, he'll have to worry about going bankrupt?"
"Dude, I just got out of jail. Am I too out of touch, or is this world just too crazy? Are these fried dough sticks really that expensive?"
"Why don't you believe me upstairs? You've never even eaten Da Ming fried dough stick, but you must know about gold, right?"
"Let's put it this way: gold has gone from 400 to 800 in two years, but in terms of value retention, it still can't compare to our Da Ming fried dough stick! In times of chaos, gold is king; in times of Da Ming fried dough stick You Tiao is the king. Go ahead and invest; you'll be the first to be silenced!"
[Shock Points +1 +1 +1 +1]
The Livestream Viewers are getting increasingly absurd, leaving honest people completely bewildered.
Seeing that the Livestream Viewers were almost convinced, Xu Yi quickly coughed to stop the madness in the comments section.
"Brother, listen to me. Da Ming fried dough stick are delicious, but they're not something an ordinary person can handle. If you really have the ability, you should save up some gold!"
The passage was long, but Xu Yi and his Livestream Viewers chatted and joked around for a while before they reached the end.
After passing through the Corridor, you'll find yourself in the banquet Hall, but there's an inspection checkpoint at the entrance.
Men and women lined up on either side, each holding a stack of ID card and asset statements, waiting to have their assets verified before entering.
"A small goal! That's enough!"
"Big goal! Three small goals!"
"Bombs! Five small targets!"
"Wait, I've got my trump card!"
"Six hundred and sixty-six, you're too ruthless!"
At the verification site, the Livestream Viewers were amazed, and the background music of Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game) unconsciously started playing in their ears.
Good heavens, this is truly something else! This is hardly a cozy Family Banquet; anyone who didn't know better would think it was a death trap, waiting to be reincarnated. Let's see if Gong De (Gong De) will be able to be reborn into a good family.
"Xu Yi, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and get in line!"
"Xu Yi, let's go! Let's go! Let's set off!"
"Hurry up, hurry up, take us to see what a lavish Family Banquet is like!"
"Xu Yi, you haven't moved an inch. Are you too scared to go?"
The Livestream Viewers started urging them to hurry.
Good food is worth waiting for, but what if you don't make it at all?
What's the rush?
"Queue?"
"Hilarious! Don't you know who I am? Do I need to wait in line?"
Seeing his Livestream Viewers starting to urge him on, Xu Yi tossed his suit jacket aside and scoffed.
"Hey kid, what are you doing?"
"Can't you see everyone is queuing? If you don't verify your credentials and don't queue, what right do you have to get in?"
Go back to the queue!
Just as Xu Yi was about to pass through the checkpoint, a woman walked past, dressed like a blooming Big Peony, and sprayed powder from her mouth.
"Who is this kid? Doesn't he know this is the Huang Family Banquet? He dares to barge in without showing his credentials. Doesn't he know the rules?"
People at the scene pointed and whispered, mocking Xu Yi for being ignorant.
"It's over, Xu Yi is definitely going to be kicked out."
The Livestream Viewers started to gloat, feeling that Xu Yi was about to suffer a setback.
"You don't know who I am?"
Despite the crowd's comments, Xu Yi remained calm.
Joke.
What does it matter to him if the Huang Clan's Family Banquet has high entry requirements? Could it possibly stop him?
What's wrong?
Do you really think your brother has no one behind him?
A powerful backer is a powerful backer, even if it's an abstract concept.
Otherwise, would Du Rufeng back down?
Huang Lu was the apple of the eye of the Huang family.
"I don't care who you are, or how powerful you are. Even if you are, you still need to prove your credentials!"
"This is Family Banquet of the Huang Clan. Is your name on the menu?"
Big Peony was clearly angry. She pointed at Xu Yi and started cursing, while throwing out a list.
Xu Yi glanced at it twice and suddenly froze.
He didn't see his name on the list.
That's alright, after all, he didn't intend to rely on the Huang family's reputation.
The problem is, my younger sister isn't on that list either.
Reversing the Heavenly Gang!
"No."
"Isn't this Family Banquet of the Huang Clan? Why isn't there a single person with the surname Huang here?"
"Did you remove the character 'Huang' from the Hundred Family Surnames? Or are you all illiterate?"
Xu Yi immediately launched into a confrontation.
There's a problem!
There's definitely something wrong here!
He felt something was amiss; no wonder his younger sister didn't come and kept stammering about asking him to take her place.
There's something fishy about this Family Banquet, isn't there?
"Who says that Huang Clan Family Banquet has to be surnamed Huang? Can't we be proud to be from the Huang Clan? As long as we work hard enough, we can all marry into the Huang family and change our surname to Huang sooner or later!"
The woman said this with a smug look on her face.
The crowd applauded enthusiastically.
Marrying into another family?
Change surname?
Is that enough effort?
Is this a normal person?
Xu Yi was completely dumbfounded!
He just thought the Livestream Room was too abstract, but now he realizes that when it comes to abstraction, these rich people are even more abstract!
The Livestream Viewers are just being abstract, basically just looking for fun, it's pure banter.
But these people who dabble in abstract art are completely destroying their own lineage!
This Huang Clan Family Banquet isn't really Family Banquet for the Huang family, but rather Family Banquet for the bunch of bastards who dream of becoming the Huang family's lackeys?
No wonder the younger sister didn't want to come and asked him to take her place; Huang Lu must feel that she's not sophisticated enough for this circle.
666!
Xu Yi didn't care about abstract concepts!
But when it got this abstract, Xu Yi actually became a little interested!
"Capital verification, right? That's easy!"
Xu Yi said casually, snapped a photo, and opened the stock trading software.
It's a pity he didn't bring Da Ming fried dough stick with him, otherwise he wouldn't have needed to go through all this trouble with stocks.
With Da Ming fried dough stick sticks on the table, who would dare doubt his wealth?
"Easy? You think just anyone can get in? Without assets exceeding 100 million..."
The woman was being sarcastic and sarcastic when a screen full of green light flashed before her eyes.
Good heavens!
The woman's pupils dilated.
[Shock Points +100]
What did she see?
It was a vibrant green, a solid expanse of green without a single other color.
Even the green hat wholesale market isn't this green.
