0129 Selective Information Screening

  People at the bottom of the social ladder often wonder how the upper class looks like, whether it is like what is shown in some movies and TV shows, where all the people are gentle and elegant, speak with a northern accent, even in the middle of the summer, wear a wig and a thick tuxedo, and sit in the shadow of an umbrella under the scorching sun in a serious manner, pinch the ear of the teacup with two fingers, cross the other three, and gently dip the drink in the teacup with your lips, and then say "how delicious" in a sweaty voice. He dips his lips into the cup and says, "How delicious!" with a sweaty face.

  In fact, it is not so, no one will be as crazy in the summer dressed so formally, even if there are some formal places, will provide the appropriate air-conditioning services, even if the wear does wear a little more, but also will not affect the personal appearance.

  What's more, summer is a season to wear the leak and dare to leak out, here refers to those girls who love beauty.

  The birth of summer clothes is not for those who can not afford to wear summer clothes and produce the word, although those who can not afford to wear summer clothes wearing clothes and the real "summer clothes" from a certain point of view is not very different.

  As for the life of the upper class ..., Catherine has never seen more profound, she just rely on their own feelings to say, have to say she is right.

  The daily work of the elite of the upper class was to chat with different people, at different times, and to be on time at meal time to enjoy a meal with others.

  But the content of these people's conversations, their attitudes, their obsessive choices, determine the work, the life, and the future of hundreds, thousands of workers and their families.

  Seemingly simple lives weren't simple in actuality, but these Lynch wasn't going to tell the girl now; she'd have a newer understanding of the world once she finished her new schooling.

  "Nice car, I thought you were going to buy one of those ... we saw together," Lynch and Catherine couldn't help but whistle and sigh in passing just as Lynch and Catherine reached the parking pad and the driver opened the door for them.

  They had been to car shows together before, and there was nothing wrong with that, so Lynch had no intention of denying it; everyone had had the luxury of being able to take control of their own destiny and buy what they wanted one day, and the two young men were no exception.

  The car they were looking at at that time was a bit more old-fashioned and mediocre, and the key thing was that that car could be bought for just a little over 10,000 after discount, and even less for a used car.

  It wasn't the car they actually liked, it was the fact that it was beautiful enough for the price.

  The chauffeur was a temporary driver provided by the community's supporting service company, just like the maids in Lynch's home, the more advanced the community service company, the more kinds of services they provided, they could even organize a happy party for the residents if necessary.

  Now it was just a matter of providing a driver, which was so simple that Lynch didn't even need to pay the driver any additional amount if it wasn't a long-term employment.

  Lynch pulled the door open and let Catherine sit in it and smiled, "He's as handsome as I am, there was no way I could ignore the other me, so I picked him."

  The girl snickered, he was just as self-absorbed as he had been in school, only now Lynch had a touch more stability and pressure than before that made people gasp a little, which was why she kept talking.

  If she couldn't liven up the atmosphere, she felt that she would suffocate herself if she ended up not even daring to breathe around Lynch.

  This feeling actually came from a sense of disparity, which was also the reason Lynch made Catherine feel strange, when a person did something that people saw him not being able to do in his entire life, people would feel that they didn't know this person well enough in addition to being shocked.

  Even if they had spent time together before!

  After getting into the car, Lynch locked a restaurant suitable for young people to eat, the atmosphere is very lively, since becoming a "decent person", Lynch has a very detailed understanding of some important places suitable for socializing in Sabine.

  It was important to note that some dignified and serious occasions were not suitable for all socializing.

  While waiting for the food to be served, Lynch talked to the girl about her previous pursuits and where they were headed next, "Do you have any particular target in mind, or is it still Sabine City College?"

  Sabine City College was one of the local universities, in the earlier years, the Ribaille Federation Education Committee, in order to improve the level of education of Federation citizens, encouraged governments around the world to fund the establishment of public universities to improve the Federation's education system, and Sabine had also established its own public university.

  Although it is said to be a public university, the tuition fee is still very high, even with the purchase of the "College Insurance1", many families are still difficult to raise the funds to study at the university, coupled with the distribution of scholarships there are always some problems, there are still a lot of people who can not afford to go to college.

  Catherine and Lynch, for example.

  Sabine City University was a dream they both had once had, not that this public university was that good, but the tuition here was the cheapest, and the scholarships were the easiest to get, at least much cheaper than those at private universities, and it was one of their many untouchable dreams that was closer to them.

  "Do you have any good choices?" , Catherine returned the question to Lynch, who frowned in slight contemplation for a moment.

  There was only one semi-public university and one private university within Sabine, one referring to Sabine City College and the other to Sabine City University, the latter being a joint effort between the city hall and private fundraising, and its reputation wasn't too good locally.

  According to the grapevine, the establishment of Sabine City University was purposely set up by certain people who wanted to cheat subsidies from the Federation Board of Education, while also giving the small city a bit more of a humanistic education in one way or another.

  Later, because of some other reasons, the Federation Education Commission downgraded the grade of Sabine City University, so that now this university has become a place to sell certificates, as long as you spend a little money to get a certificate of graduation from the university, there are some other places of the rich will come over to "learn", but also is considered to be the Sabine education sector in the "characteristics". The actual "specialties" of Sabine's education sector.

  As for private colleges ... that's not a good place to be, not for Catherine.

  "Public colleges are the best option, I'm more optimistic about the state universities, where the environment is a little better and the academic atmosphere is great." , Lynch gave his opinion.

  There are many people who think that public universities are far inferior to private universities in all aspects, especially in terms of educational resources, especially some long-established private universities.

  Not only did they have the various student unions and secret societies that had been entangled in conspiracy theories for centuries in the underclass, they also had ample funds to allow students to study any subject they were interested in to their heart's content.

  But there are only two kinds of people who can live comfortably in a private university; the first are the real top students, the nerds, who will protect the school academically, and these are also the main recipients of full scholarships every year.

  Even teachers, professors, have to respect their opinions and views when it comes to academics, not to mention the fact that no one is in their right mind to humiliate these people.

  Yes, humiliation, that's what is commonplace in private universities and is the main characteristic of the second group of people.

  The second type of people mainly come from powerful families, where their mothers and fathers are either the president of some group of companies, a district councilor or a state hospital, or even a congressman or some important, influential politician, a big capitalist.

  They never worry that their excessive behavior will bring about any impropriety, but instead, they have many people who let them humiliate them as much as they want in order to flatter them.

  Many of the student organizations such as fraternities and sororities are formed by these people, and they form them to get the underclassmen to provide services for them, in all aspects of their lives, and to satisfy their own desires to humiliate, oppress, and dominate others.

  It was true that private universities had a lot of great resources, and it was also true that if one was able to mix into one of the more private associations, one could instantly become a member of the social elite, but those places were never meant for ordinary people.

  Even if Lynch was able to send Catherine in, she would end up becoming a mundane commoner, spending her entire college years in a constant stream of falling in love, getting pregnant, getting dumped, and getting abortions.

  So for ordinary people, or ordinary people who don't have social influence, public universities are actually the best place for them, at least it maintains at least the appearance of equality and fairness, unlike in private schools where one is isolated, humiliated and dominated.

  One could only ever see the best of the flowers, never the decaying and decomposing remains of the soil that had nurtured them.

  After lunch, Lynch and Catherine first went to the girl's house to briefly pass by, Lynch didn't get out of the car, the girl's failure to return home for the night would surely upset her family, it was good that they didn't call the police or else it would have been some more trouble.

  The girl briefly explained what happened, the couple even took the initiative to come out to send Lynch, but did not dare to get too close, just far away, with a pleasing smile on her face looking at the intimidating car, waving constantly.

  Catherine came back to the car and did not show some negative emotions, pretty much the same as before, in fact, ordinary people, especially at the bottom of society, which has so much sadness and sadness, just like the girl said, life is already bitter enough, why make things harder for yourself?

  In the afternoon, Lynch took the girl around all three universities in Sabine, for the sake of money, some people talked to them about the truest side of the school, which also made Catherine understand that Lynch's previous decision of suggesting her to choose a public school was not malicious.

  When the private school's teaching assistant talked about the bullying within the school and revealed the burn marks on her arms, the girl shivered for a moment before completely severing her hopes for a private academy.

  She thought to herself that she couldn't be the flower here, but only the nourishment for the flower.

  The next day, Lynch and the girl went back to the state college in Quriland, which was obviously much nicer than Sabine City College, and the girl liked the atmosphere, quiet, and peaceful.

  After friendly discussions with the school administrators, and after Lynch had commissioned the school to develop small radio integrated circuits for a commissioned research assignment, Catherine was given an invitation to enroll at the state university, which smelled not only of ink, but also of the president's signature, which had just been signed and hadn't yet had time to dry, and of a very specific smell.

  It was the smell of money!

  ①, College Insurance: from an average family's perspective, it's about as bad luck for their child to receive an invitation to attend college as it is to get hit by a car, so they can purchase this type of insurance while their child is in high school. Once they also receive an invitation, the insurance company will give them financial assistance according to the standards of the local public school.

  But even with insurance, many families still can't afford the expensive tuition fees, and only middle-class families are the main purchasers of higher education insurance.
