The doubts among the grade group were quickly dispelled by the screenshots posted by Miao Angwin himself.
In the photo,
Miao Aung Win was sitting on the front of a black Yamaha motorcycle.
He was holding the latest IPHONE in his hand, and beside him was a modern girl wearing a helmet wearing only bikini underwear. The plastic bag hanging on the handlebar was full of colorful things, with a mountain of kyat coins piled up, and a gold-colored pet python.
"Wow, Rangoon Style, your classmate is so prosperous! Dulwich students are so rich." The uncle next to him also happened to see this photo, smacking his lips, and his tone was extremely envious.
Beautiful women, cash banknotes, wild animals.
These are the three elements of the classic Burmese way of showing off your wealth.
Photos showing off wealth in this composition even have a proper name called [Rangoon Style], which is similar to American gang culture and hip-hop fashion trends.
It has been popular on YouTube, Douyin and INS for a long time.
There are a lot of wild animals in Myanmar, which is densely covered with primitive jungles. This kind of adult golden python has a docile personality and will eat a native chicken for one meal. Only rich people cannot afford to raise it.
The richer ones will also add elements such as jadeite and LV bags to their photos to show off their financial resources.
One of the top ten most followed rappers on South Korea's TiKTOK once traveled to Yangon to shoot the MV of the same name and even bought a tiger to show off.
The photos posted by the grade group are a little earthy, but the effect is still outstanding.
Myanmar is definitely not stable.
Warlords, drug lords, fraudsters.
In troubled areas, people are getting rich all the time, while others are losing their families.
No matter where the money comes from, money can make all the difference, and the rich here are the masters. International schools are places with a strong money worship atmosphere.
After Myo Aung Win showed his "strength" and proved that what he said was true.
The atmosphere among the classmates suddenly began to change.
"Holy shit, are you serious? You won the lottery!"
"Awesome, Boss Miao is a social person. Don't forget about us classmates when you get rich."
"The golden python is so cool. Of course, this big girl next to me is even hotter. I'm envious. If there are a lot of girls like this at the party, I will hang out with Brother Miao from now on."
Seeing that Miao Anwen seemed to be really planning to invite the whole grade to have a party in the villa, I originally thought he was just trying to please others, but the group of classmates immediately became lively.
Even the girls started to participate in the discussion.
"The latest Apple mobile phone. This starlight color scheme is hard to get. I went to several physical stores and they couldn't find it in stock. The car is also quite handsome. Did you buy it?"
A girl from the cheerleading team noticed the motorcycle in the background and asked secretly, "It looks like it should be quite expensive."
"The gift the boss gave me, with a liter displacement, is worth at least $10,000." Miao Angwen typed in a very proud tone.
"Yamaha R1? The motorcycle is of good quality. You can't afford it for 10,000 dollars, but at least 17,000 dollars. For my birthday last year, my dad finally agreed to buy me a motorcycle. I was between the R1 and the Ducati Devil. After hesitating for a long time, my father finally thought that the electronic control of European motorcycles was more reliable and safer, so he decided to buy a Ducati for a little over 20,000 US dollars."
Even Jerry in the group was blown out.
While praising Myo Aung Win's motorcycle, he showed off his motorcycle collection.
"It's so expensive! Boss is awesome. I really want a gift like this."
"It's so handsome. When I first watched the Hong Kong movie "Love", I dreamed of a prince charming like Andy Lau, riding a heavy motorcycle and taking me for a ride." A girl with a fierce personality boldly expressed her love, "What if? If a boy has such a heart, I will be his girlfriend."
"Stop being in heat, Bitch, Jerry's back seat belongs to Miss Sandenou." A girl who had a crush on Jerry said with a sour voice, "Jerry likes a cold girl like Miss Sandenou, 豼There is no chance of a bus slut sleeping with a third of the boys in the grade.”
"Fuck, who are you calling a slut?"
"Hahaha, someone is jealous. Maybe they want to sit in the back seat of Miao-san."
Southeast Asia has a popular motorcycle culture and has the highest density of motorcycles in the world. In many areas, one can obtain a motorcycle driver's license at the age of fifteen.
The streets are full of young people wearing flip-flops, driving scooters, helping their families carry groceries and fruits, and walking around the streets.
Some of them may not even look older than fifteen.
The traffic police basically turn a blind eye to this and don't care much about driver's license issues.
When ordinary students are still pursuing new mobile phones, League of Legends ranks, and XBOX game consoles.
Rich young men like Jerry have already started racing cars.
Why is it a motorcycle, not a sports car like a Porsche 911 or Mercedes-Benz AMG? In fact...their parents who are regional executives in foreign companies are not that rich.
The wealthy parents of Dewei have an annual income of about $100,000.
Buying a high-end sports car for your children is too luxurious.
Myanmar motorcycles are generally tax-free, so it is not difficult to buy them as birthday gifts for boys.
Motorcycles have become part of daily life in Southeast Asia. In the United States or Canada, a high proportion of high school students drive their own cars to school, while in Myanmar, they use motorcycles.
Even when Koko didn't want to ride in the family police car, she would occasionally ride a small and beautiful silver Triumph retro motorcycle imported from the UK to school.
Wearing a pink helmet and sunglasses, with a flowing hairband, and a slim waist and long legs, he looks really cool.
Among the oldest students at Dulwich, it is not uncommon to have motorcycles at home, but they are mainly recreational motorcycles with small displacements such as 250cc and 400cc.
Whether it’s the Yamaha R1 or the Ducati Big Devil.
This kind of liter-level heavy-duty motorcycles are top-notch motorcycles, and the price is not cheaper than a four-wheeled minivan.
The high-end sports cars in European and American movies are too far away from Yangon.
When I was a student at Dulwich, anyone who could ride on this motorcycle was like riding on a big bundle of banknotes.
It's really like a knight riding a famous purebred horse among European knights. Girls all over the street look at you with admiration and love in their eyes.
The scenery is stunning.
Many girls couldn't help but comment in the group.
For the first time, I began to focus on this classmate who used to be dark, thin, and ignored.
"The car is really good. There is a track day in Nancheng next week. Let's go together. We can change cars and ride. Forget about the bikini dancers at the party. There are also female classmates in school. I can contact a professional Bar DJ, great at scratching and mixing.”
Jerry began to make suggestions.
The classmates in the group began to discuss the details of the party enthusiastically.
do not know why,
Miao Angwen, who usually didn't have much interaction with him, actually gave him a special kiss.
[@Gu Weijing, I haven’t seen you in the public studio recently. You were not selected by Mrs. Cruz, so you are starting to give up on yourself! It feels uncomfortable to be stepped on by me, but I am a generous person. Don't worry, my party won't exclude losers like you. 】
"Haha, his girlfriend ran away with someone else, so how can he be in the mood to go to the party?"
"You don't understand this. People who are lovelorn need to drink to relieve their sorrows. If a beautiful girl like Miss Sandnu dumps me, I can't wait to die drunk in beer."
"We're not a good match, and I don't know what he's dreaming about. If I were the president of the Girls' Student Union, I wouldn't have fallen in love with such a transparent person in the first place."
"It's US$75. Given their family's financial situation, it might not be easy to come up with this money."
Gu Weijing ignored the cynicism from Jerry's younger brother below and his eyes stayed on the message for a moment.
It seemed like Miao Angwen was making fun of him casually.
However, he could feel some vague hostility in the other party's words.
Did I offend him?
Gu Weijing shrugged.
Maybe it's a matter of grades.
There are different bursaries awarded to first and second place students at Dulwich College.
Based on this factor, Miao may have enough reasons to hate herself.
The remaining hundreds of chat records are basically all about the specific arrangements for the party and everyone's registration for the Solitaire.
Gu Weijing rolled his eyes and lost interest. He closed the screen and just nodded to his aunt, confirming Gu Lin's statement.
"There's definitely a party going on, Auntie."
"Okay, mom, hurry up and give me the money. I've been wanting to go to the villa for a long time." Gu Lin continued to take out his wallet in his aunt's coat, and couldn't wait for the party on Friday.
"1, 2, 3, 4, 5..."
Gu Lin counted the banknotes: "There is not enough money in the wallet, there is still a shortfall of 30,000 kyats."
"One hundred and fifty thousand kyats, just the price of a drink, is so expensive...and you are now in the thirteenth grade, it is the time to study."
My aunt, who was very economical, was somewhat reluctant to pay for the money.
Seventy-five dollars, for a wealthy family, is the cost of a tomahawk steak.
But for ordinary Burmese people, it is enough to feed and clothe a large family for a month.
According to United Nations statistics, the average monthly income of Myanmar people is only US$100 and 57 cents.
"I really can't stand you guys. The new IPAD I've been eyeing during the Spring Festival is too expensive, so just don't buy it for me. It's 75 US dollars, and many students have much more pocket money than that for a week. All the students are going, but I'm not going, you What do my friends at school think of me!"
Gu Lin suddenly pouted and refused.
She complained unhappily: "If I am isolated, ridiculed, or have psychological problems by my classmates in the future, it will be your parents' irresponsible fault."
"Will all my classmates go?"
Although the aunt was worried about money and $75 was not cheap, she was a little hesitant because it was related to her baby daughter's mental health.
"I dont go."
Gu Weijing saw his aunt looking at him asking for advice.
Shake his head.
Gu Weijing didn't sign up in the group at all.
Now just painting takes up most of his energy.
To prepare for an art exhibition, you need to copy oil paintings.
Even though the thesis has come to an end temporarily, the schedule of various things is still tight.
How can I have time to attend some pool party?
Gu Lin, who was full of expectations, immediately became angry when he heard what Gu Weijing said.
For the somewhat vain Gu Lin, a grand party in a seaside holiday village is as rare as Cinderella's Crystal Dinner.
Her original thought was that her cousin had saved New Year's money for so many years, so it would not be a big problem to come up with seventy-five dollars. Will definitely go to the party.
Auntie hates the old man's partiality the most.
It has always been the case that whatever my cousin has, I will have.
Just used to convince my parents.
Unexpectedly, Gu Weijing actually gave such an answer.
"Xiao Lin, you see your brother isn't going, so don't go either..." The uncle was also shaking his head.
"Why don't you tell him not to go? I won't go either!"
"Gu Weijing won't go? Huh, my cousin is that kind of idiot. Who likes him in school? He is a boring person who doesn't like to socialize. This semester, even Miss Mona, who used to come to the house often, now I don’t want to associate with him anymore.”
Gu Lin shook his hand angrily and slapped the table.
"Do you want me to be such a loser?" Gu Lin accused unceremoniously.
Gu Lin kept making trouble with his uncle and aunt throughout the breakfast time.
The aunt finally couldn't bear her daughter's entanglement, so she took 150,000 kyats from the drawer at the cashier counter and handed it to her daughter.
"Don't drink open drinks at the party. You must go home at night. Don't leave your cell phone behind. You can only drink a little beer at most..." Auntie kept telling Gu Lin what to pay attention to.
He glanced at Gu Weijing and curled his lips.
"It's not that I, my aunt, don't want to give you money, it's because you can't say it yourself. Anyway, the old man must have given you a lot of money in private..."
"Okay, it's okay, I don't need it."
Gu Weijing interrupted his aunt's ramblings with a concise reply that he didn't care.
Before going out,
Gu Weijing was called aside by his grandfather.
"I heard Gu Lin say, Mona...are you two young people having a conflict? Miss Sandnu is a very good girl. If there is any misunderstanding that makes someone unhappy, and you are embarrassed to apologize, do you want to Shall I call the girl and talk about it?"
Gu Tongxiang asked with concern.
The old man has always been particularly fond of this Indian girl who often came to play at home.
Pretty, clean, very smart, everything is organized and measured.
The family background is also very good.
If such a "high-class" good girl could be brought home to be his wife, the old man would be very satisfied.
Although Ms. Sakai is also very good, her family's family background is so far behind that the little fairy floating in the clouds always feels unreal.
He was so unmatched that even if Gu Weijing was willing to be his son-in-law, he might not be happy.
Traditional oriental old people always think far ahead.
"No need, it's just that they don't want to be friends with me anymore." Gu Weijing shook his head.
"Is that so? Oh, you kids..." Mr. Gu Tongxiang opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything. He just sighed in frustration.
However, the old man secretly took two fifty-dollar bills and stuffed them into the chest pocket of Gu Weijing's school uniform.
"Take it and play with it, don't let your aunt see it. There is no harm in participating in more social activities at school and making friends with your classmates."
Gu Weijing did not refuse his grandfather's kindness.
Even though he still wasn't planning to attend any party, the old man's kindness still made him feel warm.
Gu Weijing did not expect that he did not want to cause trouble, but trouble found him.
