Chapter 2203

Does money really matter...

Everyone will have a different answer to this question, but there are roughly two types.

The first is people who are relatively financially strapped, and they think money is very important.

The second type is rich people. For rich people, they think money is not so important.

Lynch looked at the simple eyes of the plumber, this question is not easy to answer, but Lynch respects everyone's desire for knowledge, so he decided to answer.

"Listen, there's nothing in this world that money can't do."

"If there is, it means that it may not be something that humans can do at all, not that money can't do it."

"As cruel as this may sound, it is the truth!"

In fact, the plumber has long been mentally prepared, or he has gradually begun to feel the undisguised malice hidden in the depths of this world.

The priest in the church tells everyone that people are equal from birth to death.

In school, teachers tell students that independent personality must be respected by everyone.

After arriving in society, people will find that all this is fake!
Perhaps the birth of a person and the departure of a person are equal, but the period from birth to departure is not necessarily equal.

Every independent personality should indeed be respected, but money can make people bend their waists.

The plumber said with some emotion, "So everyone is chasing the footsteps of money, but you are ahead of money, and we are racing with the shadow of money."

A very philosophical remark, especially the word "race".

It doesn't mean that it is enough to keep up. There are many other people around, and everyone is competing and competing.

The plumber took a puff of cigarette and let it out slowly.

He swore he had never smoked such a good cigarette!

At present, ordinary people on the market smoke cigarettes that cost about two yuan, and the better ones cost five yuan, eight yuan or ten yuan.

These cigarettes are still using raw tobacco leaves, which can be a bit choking when smoked, and the throat hit of nicotine is very strong.

It felt like someone had punched the throat, and the entire throat was swollen!
For people who are not used to high nicotine and tar, smoking, especially low-priced cigarettes, is definitely not a pleasure.

What Lin Qi held in his hand was the tobacco leaves that had undergone primary processing, which was no longer completely raw tobacco leaves.

Preliminary processing makes it more homozygous, reducing the nicotine content and high tar content.

In this way, smoking will not cause too much burden on the throat. Even a novice can easily smoke one without coughing violently.

It seems that it has one more process than ordinary cigarettes, but this process has become a watershed between high-end cigarettes and low-end cigarettes.

In fact, for old smokers, they will feel that low-priced cigarettes are more enjoyable, but for ordinary people, this kind of cigarettes are still milder.

And this is also the role of money.

The gold foil around the joint between the cigarette holder and the cigarette and Lynch's name endowed the cigarette with more meaning, and the plumber was a little emotional and relieved.

There are some things that he can only look up to in his life, such as Mr. Lynch's wealth.

It’s perfectly fine to regard Mr. Lynch as an idol, but does it mean that you think too highly of yourself when you regard him as a role model?

His eyes quickly fell on his son, watching the little guy running on the emerald green turf, laughing happily, such a warm picture is also full of the smell of money!
At this time, the emerald green turf basically costs 20 yuan a foot. How big is the area here?

Probably changing the sod every two weeks is what keeps it looking so fresh!

While the plumber watches the kids running across the lawn, Lynch watches the plumber.

Judging from some information about the director general's nephew and some cases from the director general, Lynch always felt that the plumber might be suspected.

But it was only possible, he couldn't be sure.

Judging from his knowledge of plumbers, he should not be an extreme person.

Living in the simple countryside since he was a child, he has developed an optimistic, cheerful and hardworking spirit. Such a person should not be likely to do such a thing.

unless……

Lynch glanced at the little maid who was making dinner again, could this be the reason?
Lynch thought for a while, then looked at the plumber again, "I will be busy in a while, and I won't come back often. Then I will give... (little maid) a long vacation."

"You can go out and have fun, it happens to be spring break, a good time to travel."

In fact, any time is a good time for the federal people to travel, as long as they have money in their pockets and extra money.

But generally speaking, spring is also a good choice. Everything recovers, and the severe winter finally passes, and spring is ushered in.

The temperature of more than ten degrees is simply loved by the federal people. They can go to the sun unscrupulously without worrying about getting sunburned.

In the years when skin beautification is popular, many people suffer from sunburn every year, and the medical group also reminds those who like wheat-colored skin that excessive exposure to sunlight or ultraviolet rays has a higher possibility of suffering from skin problems.

But people don't care, the beach is full of men and women who barely wear and don't wear clothes, as long as the weather is good!

The plumber was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Lynch to think so far. Then he shook his head, "I'm the only plumber over there. They won't allow me to take a vacation."

At this time, federal workers do not have too long paid leave, according to the current federal law.

Employees, including workers, must have worked for the business for more than eighteen months to be eligible for two weeks of paid leave.

But many companies refuse to grant too long vacations at once, especially for certain key departments, or departments with only one or two employees.

Once they all go on vacation, in case they are needed, the company will have to spend an extra sum of money to find a temporary worker to deal with it.

So the capitalists will respect the decision of the law, and they do prepare these holidays for the workers.

But whether to approve or not, and how to approve it, is another matter.

Some companies have even come up with the trick of "paying salary with leave". To put it simply, as long as the paid leave is useless at the end of the year, they can get an additional bonus according to the company's regulations.

The bonus is not too much, and the bonus for one to two weeks, according to the current minimum wage standard of Bu Pain, is about 150 yuan to 200 yuan.

But with such a small amount of money, many workers are unwilling to take paid vacations, but insist on completing a year's work on the job.

For a wealthy person, this may be just an inconspicuous amount of money, but for an ordinary family.

That money could buy them some new furniture, or a new suit of clothes for each of them, or whatever.

If you go out to play with paid vacation, not only will you not get the bonus, but you will also spend extra money. It is already very clear how to choose.

He was the only plumber in his neighborhood, and his manager would be furious if he went on vacation in spring, the season of bursting water pipes!
And whether they approve it or not is another question.

But these are nothing to Lynch, "You can tell them that I gave you three tickets to Slem, and I promise they won't say a word."

The plumber was a little stunned, and then he couldn't help but asked with a smile, "This must be the magic of money again?"

Lynch nodded and said yes, "You are right, this is the magic of money!"

The plumber thought about it seriously, "I accept this invitation, hope it's a relaxing vacation!"

"It must be easy!"

"As long as you have been there, you will fall in love with that city!"

While they were talking, dinner was ready, and the little maid also greeted the two of them to the dining table.

It stands to reason that Lynch is the owner, their employer, and a rich man, so he should be a bit airy.

But he acted as natural and friendly as their friend, without any affectation.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why people like Lynch. He comes from the bottom of society. His straightforwardness and unpretentiousness make it impossible not to like a guy like him!

Large pieces of high-grade beef have a high fat content, and every bite is full of oil.

The aroma of butter is very special and unique. When the teeth start to touch and soak, the whole mouth begins to feel the wonderful experience of beef and gravy.

These beefs are actually well-cooked, but they don’t feel burnt or hard to swallow at all.

Instead, it is easy to chew.

Such high-end steaks are actually not uncommon and can be found in many supermarkets.

But compared to 69 cents a pound of minced meat and 99 cents a pound of large ground beef, this kind of beef requires about 41 to [-] pounds, and ordinary people often don’t even look at it.

In their words, no matter how expensive this thing is and how many gimmicks it has, isn’t it beef?
How much difference does three 41 lbs of beef make to less than a dollar a pound of ground beef?
Before they tasted, there was not much difference, but after tasting, they were different after all.

The dinner is very rich, mainly meat, beef, a small amount of lamb chops, and some vegetables and seafood.

What everyone talked about wasn't too profound, but some social hotspots, or some content from TV dramas.

Although Lynch doesn't watch TV dramas very much, he still has some understanding of the entertainment industry and knows many celebrities.

Even if many ordinary people don't like celebrities very much, they are very interested in discussing the daily life of celebrities.

Lynch has been observing the plumber, he has not shown any flaws, he does not behave like a psycho killer.

At least not so far.

After dinner in the evening, everyone chatted for a while. After packing up these things, the plumber rode away on his bicycle.

Watching the back of the plumber leaving, Lynch found the little maid in the study...
