The three girls at Su Xing's table, Ye Xitong and He Xinglan, all have obvious Beijing accents when they speak casually.

Su Xing speaks very good Mandarin, and when she speaks normally, it is not easy for others to guess where she is from.

The only words she used occasionally and inadvertently had some Northeastern characteristics.

So the people in the restaurant had previously thought that the three girls at this table were all from Beijing, and never considered that there might be outsiders among them.

After Su Xing said that he was from H Province, the two uncles who had just complained about the Northeastern people, as well as the few people who agreed with them, suddenly looked a little uncomfortable.

It is really embarrassing to say bad things about others and be heard by the person concerned.

The old man who first complained looked a little embarrassed and said, "I didn't say anything about you..."

Su Xing still smiled, "But I am also one of the people from Northeast China who have 'low quality' in your words."

The old man's face was gloomy and he was speechless.

Su Xing added, "By the way, there was also the big brother who came to pack the bags. Apart from his louder voice, he didn't do anything bad, did he?"

Another uncle snorted, "How do you know he didn't do anything bad?"

Su Xing said, "Oh? You always said before that he rented the yard next to your house, so you know him well? Can you tell me what bad things he has done? If you have evidence to prove that he is a bad guy and has done something illegal, I support you calling the police to arrest him."

The old man moved his lips several times, and finally managed to say, "He is just a part-time worker, he doesn't even have a proper job!"

Su Xing asked again, "What's wrong with doing odd jobs? Is it shameful for him to earn money through his own labor? Aren't there ordinary people who do odd jobs who are born and raised in the old capital?"

The old man was annoyed by the little girl Su Xing and said stubbornly: "You Northeasterners are all incompetent and uneducated. You can only do some low-level jobs wherever you go. I don't know why you have to come to Beijing to make trouble!"

Su Xing smiled, "Uncle, you can learn about the ranking of illiteracy rates in provinces across the country from low to high. Beijing, as the capital of China, has the lowest illiteracy rate, but Liao Province is second only to Beijing and has the second lowest illiteracy rate in the country. Jilin Province and Heilongjiang Province are also in the top ten."

She paused and continued, "You said that people from the Northeast are all doing low-level jobs? Do you know how many doctors in major well-known hospitals across the country are from the three northeastern provinces? Do you know how many Northeast talents are in some of our country's cutting-edge technology teams? Count again, how many Northeast artists are there in the Spring Festival Gala you watch every year? In all walks of life, there are people from the Northeast. Do you really not see it, or are you selectively not seeing it?"

The old man was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick. He said, "What about you? What are you talking about others for? What kind of job did you come to Beijing for?!"

Ye Xitang interrupted at this time: "My sister-in-law...my friend is studying in Beijing, and is a student of Beijing University."

He Xinglan also added, "He was the top scorer in the science college entrance examination in H Province in 13."

wake:"……"

uncle:"……?!"

Everyone around: “……??!!”

The restaurant was quiet for a moment, and then there was some commotion again. Everyone looked at Su Xing curiously and started talking in low voices.

Is this girl who looks like a movie star a Beijing University student? She was once the top scorer in the college entrance examination? Is this true? ?

The old man also subconsciously said: "Who are you kidding..."

He Xinglan picked up his phone and said, "Uncle, don't disbelieve me, I'll search for the news of that year for you!"

She quickly searched for news about the top scorer in the college entrance examination in H Province in 13, and leaned over to touch the old man's face, "Look!"

There was no photo of Su Xing in that news report because Su Xing himself did not accept the interview.

The old man was distracted and didn't look closely at He Xinglan's phone screen, nor did he pay attention to these details.

The old man who first complained about the people from the Northeast said, "What does this prove? You are just a minority... You outsiders are crowding into the capital, which affects the public security of the capital..."

Su Xing also took out his phone and quickly checked a piece of data. He said, "Uncle, according to the population data released by the Beijing Statistics Bureau in 2014, the total number of migrant population in Beijing last year was 818.7 million, accounting for 38.1% of the permanent population of Beijing, of which the population from Northeast China accounted for a certain proportion. However, judging from the crime rate data released by the Beijing Public Security Bureau, the crime rate of migrant population is not higher than that of local population, and there is no data showing that the crime rate of people from Northeast China is higher than that of other regions. For example, in the criminal cases that occurred in Beijing in 2014, the distribution of the suspects' places of origin was very scattered and not concentrated in a specific area."

The two uncles: "..."

Su Xing smiled again and said, "When you put forward a point of view, it is better to have data to support your argument. Otherwise, making up stories out of nothing is just a rumor. In addition, I think that people with real qualities will not make up stories to slander others behind their backs. Uncles and aunts, what do you think?"

The elderly men and women who had been complaining about outsiders just now all blushed and felt embarrassed after hearing what Su Xing said.

At this time, an old lady complained: "People from other places come to Beijing and drive up the housing prices. My son has difficulty buying a house when he gets married. He can only look at houses in the suburbs. We old Beijingers are under so much pressure."

The aunt who was talking also lived in a nearby tenement. Although it was within the second ring road of Beijing, the living space was small. Her son was getting married, and he couldn't live with her and her husband.

The girl’s family is not willing to let me live in a rented house instead of buying one.

Su Xing said: "Auntie, the rise in housing prices is a complex economic phenomenon, affected by many factors such as land supply, urban development planning, and financial policies."

As she spoke, she did not stop moving her hands and mentioned another report. "According to the real estate market analysis report released by the Beijing Housing and Urban-Rural Development Commission in 2014, the main reasons for the rise in housing prices are the accelerated urban construction, limited land resources and changes in market demand. It is not determined by the people in a certain area. In addition, people from other places who come to Beijing have also contributed to the development of the city. They pay rent and taxes, which also promotes Beijing's economic cycle."

The old lady snorted coldly: "What do you college students know about the suffering of the people?"

The old man who was angered by Su Xing before also snorted and laughed: "My grandson is in the kindergarten in the alley in front. Almost half of the children there are from other places. My son wants to transfer my grandson to another kindergarten."

Su Xing suddenly asked: "Uncle and Aunt, are you all retired?"

Most of them acquiesced.

The old man who just spoke said, "I'm retired, so what?"

He had a good pension, and there was a sense of superiority in his tone.

Su Xing quickly poked at his phone and continued to check the data. "According to the statistics of the Health and Family Planning Bureau, 2014% of the newborns in Beijing in 42 had both parents from other places. The social security funds paid by their parents accounted for about 37% of the total amount in the city, which supports the pension you receive every month."
