Is money important? Lan

Everyone will have a different answer to this question, but it can be roughly divided into two types.

The first type is people who are relatively financially strapped and think money is important.

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

Lynch looked at the plumber's honest eyes. This question was actually not easy to answer, but Lynch respected everyone's desire for knowledge about the truth, so he decided to answer.

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

“If there is, that means it may not be something humans can do at all, not money.”

"As cruel as this sounds, it's true!"

The plumber had actually been mentally prepared for a long time, or he had gradually begun to feel the unabashed malice hidden in the depths of this world.

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

In school, teachers tell students that independent personality is something that everyone must respect.

After arriving in society, people will realize that all this is false!

Maybe 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 waist.

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

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

It’s not just about keeping up. There are many other people around, and everyone is competing and competing.

The plumber took a puff of cigarette and exhaled it 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 better ones cost about five yuan, eight yuan, or ten yuan.

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

It felt like someone punched me in the throat, and the whole throat was swollen! Lan

For people who are not used to high nicotine and tar, smoking, especially low-priced cigarettes, is definitely not a pleasure.

The tobacco leaves in Lynch's hands were initially processed, and were no longer considered completely raw tobacco leaves.

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

In this way, smoking will not put 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 it is this set of processes that has become the watershed between high-end cigarettes and low-end cigarettes.

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

And this is also the role of money. Lan

A circle of gold foil between the cigarette holder and the cigarette and Lynch's name gave the cigarette more meaning. The plumber was a little emotional, but also a little 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 soon fell on his son, watching the little guy running on the green turf, laughing happily. Such a heartwarming picture was also full of the smell of money!

At this time, green turf basically costs 20 yuan per foot. How big is the area here?

The turf will probably be replaced every two weeks to keep it looking so fresh!

As the plumber watched the children running on the turf, Lynch watched the plumber. Lan

Judging from some information about the nephew of the director-general and some information about the case obtained from the director-general, Lynch always felt that the plumber might be suspicious.

But it was just a possibility, he couldn't be sure.

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

Living in a simple countryside since he was a child, he has developed an optimistic and cheerful spirit that can endure hardships. Such a person should be unlikely 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 won't come back often. Then I will give... (the little maid) a long vacation."

"You can go out and have fun. It happens to be spring break, a good time for traveling."

In fact, for federal people, any time is a good time to travel, as long as you have money in your pocket and extra money.

But generally speaking, spring is also a good choice. Everything revives, the harsh winter is finally over, and spring is ushered in.

The people of the Federation love the temperature of more than ten degrees. They can bask in the sun without fear of getting sunburned.

In recent years, as skin beauty has become popular, many people suffer from sunburn every year, and the medical group also reminds those who like wheat-colored skin tones that excessive exposure to the sun 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 wearing barely there clothes, as long as the weather is nice!

The plumber was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Lynch's thinking span to be so broad. He then shook his head, "I'm the only plumber over there, and they won't allow me to take a holiday."

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

Employees, including workers, must have worked continuously for the enterprise for more than eighteen months to receive two weeks of paid leave.

However, many companies refuse to grant vacations that are too long at one time, especially for certain key departments or departments with only one or two employees.

Once everyone goes on vacation, if they are needed, the company will spend an extra amount 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 it or not, and how to approve it, is another matter.

Some companies have even resorted to the trick of "using vacation time to compensate for salary." To put it simply, at the end of the year, as long as the paid vacation time is not used, you can get an additional bonus in accordance with company regulations. Lan

The bonus is not that much, a one to two week bonus, based on the current minimum wage standard for Bupen, which is about 150 to 200 yuan.

But just such a small amount of money makes many workers unwilling to take paid vacations, but insist on completing a year's work at their jobs.

This may be an inconspicuous sum of money to a wealthy person, but to an ordinary family.

The money can allow them to buy some new furniture, or buy a new set of clothes for each person, or do something else.

If you go out for fun on paid vacation, not only will you not get a bonus, but you will also have to spend extra money. The choice is actually very clear.

He is the only plumber in the community where the plumber works, and spring is the season when water pipes burst. If he goes on vacation, his manager will definitely be furious!

And whether they approve or not is another question. Lan

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

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

Lynch nodded in agreement, "You are right, this is the magic of money!"

The plumber thought carefully and said, "I accept the invitation. I hope it will be a relaxing vacation!"

"Definitely easy!"

“Once you go 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. Lan

Logically speaking, Lynch is the master, their employer, and a rich man, so he should have some airs.

But he acted as naturally and kindly as their friend, without any pretense.

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!

The large pieces of high-grade beef are very high in fat, making them sizzling and oily with every bite.

The aroma of butter is very special and unique. When the teeth begin to come into contact and are soaked, the entire mouth begins to feel the wonderful experience brought by the 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. Lan

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

But compared to the minced meat that costs one dollar and sixty-nine cents a pound and the large chunks of ground beef that cost ninety-nine cents a pound, this kind of beef, which costs about thirty to forty-one pounds, is often not even seen by ordinary people. will see.

In their words, no matter how high the price is or how many gimmicks there are, isn’t it just beef?

What's the difference between thirty-forty-one pounds of beef and ground beef that costs less than a dollar a pound?

Before they tasted it, there really wasn't much difference, but after they tasted it, it was different after all.

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

The topics we talked about were not too advanced, they were all hot topics in society or some content in TV series. Lan

Although Lynch doesn't watch many TV series, he still has some knowledge about the entertainment industry and knows many celebrities.

Even if many ordinary people don't like celebrities very much, they are still very interested in discussing their daily lives.

Lynch had been observing the plumber, and he didn't show any flaws. He didn't behave like a perverted killer.

At least for now, that's not the case.

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

Watching the plumber leave, Lynch found the little maid in the study...
