A few years ago, when I was working in a unit, I met a colleague, a short man with glasses, who looked very ordinary. He usually rides an electric car to work and has a two-bedroom house. Later, I got to know him better and went to his house for dinner with several other colleagues. I have been shopping with him in the supermarket for a long time, and I found that no matter how much I buy or how little I buy, he will want a shopping bag, even if he can take it with both hands, and he will spend 30 cents to buy a shopping bag.
Such a generous hand has no concept of saving money at all. I think his family conditions should be unusual. Sure enough, as I expected, we became good friends later, only to know that his father is the president of their county court, his mother is the president of a township hospital in the county, and his son is only two years old, so the wedding room has been bought.
It goes without saying how luxurious his parents' work and family conditions are. Just say one detail. Let's feel it. I have been to his home in the county. It's very big and spacious. The kitchen has a big balcony. The balcony is full of things: a whole row of big white gourd more than one meter long, five or six, golden peanut oil, four or five barrels, bags of sweet potato peanuts, which can't be eaten for months.
You can think about it. They are all people who live at home. Who will buy so many things at once, even if they have the money, they are afraid of being broken. Where did you get so many things? They were all sent by people who asked his parents to do things.
No wonder my colleague spends a lot of money and lives in such a rich family since childhood. How can he know frugality?
My colleagues and I went to other places for training and lived in a room. After taking a shower that day, I found that I forgot to bring my hair dryer, so my colleague lent me her hair dryer, which was not much bigger than a slap in the face.
Pink, very small, very comfortable to the touch, the wind is very soft, just like soft wicker gently brushing the river, unlike the wind blown out by my usual hair dryer, which blows my hair like a vigorous grass.
The hair is properly placed on the scalp, and the warm and delicate hand slowly caresses it. The air blowing through the skin has no burning sensation at all, and the breath sliding across the cheeks is still faint and fragrant. As if nothing had happened, it quietly spread all over the body along the tip of the hair until the soles of the feet, and the whole person felt more comfortable than ever.
After I blew my hair, I really praised your hair dryer. It's really nice and comfortable It's definitely not cheap. It costs hundreds of dollars. Did you buy it on a treasure? I'll buy one, too.
Colleagues smiled and said, ah, it's not expensive either. You should have a treasure. Just try it.
I took a brand of hair dryer and searched it online. In a cat's flagship store, I really found the same model. When I saw the price, I was shocked and blushed. The price tag is 2980 yuan.
I really treat people according to their own needs. The price of the hair dryer I usually use is around 100 yuan. They are big and heavy. When I blow my arm up for a while, I feel very painful and I have to rest. Sometimes I blow it with high-grade hot air, and it still stinks.
Every time I blow my daughter's hair, I have to keep shaking it. When I face a place for more than 5 seconds, she screams. It's too hot. And I will say that my hair blows to the front and hits her eyes, and then I will scream and make her head so hairy that I can't comb it.
I stayed for a while, and my colleagues were really rich people who didn't show their mountains and rivers. A hair dryer of nearly 3,000 yuan is beyond my reach. Usually, her dress is never unassuming, but it is well matched, exquisite and elegant, and has a charm of others.
She never wears any gold rings, bracelets or necklaces. Ten slender fingers never adorn anything, but she wears a white jade bracelet on her wrist, which is the only jewelry on her body. She smiled, calm and gentle.
I really envy you. In fact, people come out to work in order not to be out of touch with society. I work hard to earn money to support my family. When I want to buy a winter dress, I must weigh it. People's wages are just to buy a silk scarf or occasionally pass by and take away the bag.
To tell you the truth, I was shocked when I first found out.
I used to work in a chain restaurant in Beijing, where the Dutch king was from Beijing, and my family was really cheap.
I belong to the kind of person who works hard and doesn't talk much. At that time, I was the owner of the chopping block, and I met the king of Holland every day at work. After a while, we got to know each other.
One night before work, the assistant chef told me; What will I rest with tomorrow? It's our turn to rest. Then the king of Holland asked me where to play tomorrow. I said I don't know. I guess I'll wake up naturally after a sleep. He said it was boring. See you in the dormitory tomorrow, and we will play together. I said, don't you accompany your wife? He said today is not our Sunday off. Wife goes to work, children go to school.
He usually rides a mountain bike to and from work, and drives an Audi A8 the next morning. Wearing a fashionable casual dress, the shoes are clean and completely changed.
He drove me around, and he refused to let me pay for dinner. It's not easy for me to come to Beipiao. He was right to invite me to be the host.
Not only does he drive an Audi A8, but his wife is three years older than him. She is also a graduate student of Xiamen University, and she is still a childhood friend with him. His house has a quadrangle, and other places have been demolished, and several suites have been rented out.
I didn't understand at the time, so what class did he take? He said he was an academic scum and stopped studying after graduating from high school. Doing nothing all day is boring. I always have nothing to drink, and the more I drink, the more boring I get. His parents and wife hated him getting drunk all day, so he gave up drinking.
I like to cook at home when I have nothing to do, so I go to the restaurant to be the king of the Netherlands until I become the king of the Netherlands. I don't cook on the stove because the smoke is unbearable.
The salary earned is enough for a year's car fare. He doesn't want to do that at a young age. It would be nice to do something he likes. I work more fully every day, and the money I earn is given to my parents, wife and children, clothes and gifts, and I feel quite fulfilled in my heart.
The most important thing is better than being an office. The office is nine to five, but there are intrigues, conflicts of interest and intrigues. Working in a chain restaurant, less than 10 hours a day. Although there is intrigue, at least there is no conflict of interest. Walking around the kitchen every day is healthier than sitting. It's good to earn some money and exercise. Shit! I don't envy you for showing off your wealth, because his three views are correct.
How did you find out?
When I first arrived, I saw a beautiful female colleague, who looked about 30 years old. Later, I learned that she was 40 years old.
The clothes she wears look very high-end. Later, due to work reasons, I stayed with her for 2 months every day and found that she changed a set of clothes every day, and the clothes were different. There are 60 suits in 2 months. She's very nice. She buys us snacks every day. There are eight people in an office. This is the rich man I have ever seen!
However, there are many fake rich people in the unit!
Take chestnuts for example. There is a woman whose monthly salary is less than 2000 yuan. She will never stop using Apple phones and spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on a dress. If you want to ask her where the money came from, just swipe her credit card. She said it didn't cost her money to swipe her credit card.
Don't you have to pay back the credit card? Can't understand!
I think she is influenced by the people around her, and those women are showing off their wealth. In fact, everyone's salary is different, just like to pretend!
I heard that her colleague bought a handful of red cabbage moss a few days ago, because the cabbage moss has not been on the market in large quantities, and she wants 10 yuan 1 kg!
Oh, my God! Previously, cauliflower only cost 3 yuan 1 kg, but this 10 yuan 1 kg is too expensive. But people spend it with peace of mind!
Our department has recruited a new girl, who is outgoing and quick to do things. Everyone likes her very much. She usually rides a small electric donkey, and I was shocked until I went on a business trip with her.
The little girl likes to carry a big bag of a luxury brand to work, which is just convenient to put down her MAC computer. The mobile phone is the latest Apple. She just started working and her salary is not high. These three things have actually exceeded her income level.
However, this is normal. Many little girls like these things now. Occasionally, I borrow some credit cards to buy them in advance, and then I will pay them back slowly in installments, and no one cares too much. It was not until I went on a business trip with her that I found that these things were already very low-key consumption for her.
On that occasion, I took this little girl on a business trip to a branch office in a prefecture-level city, which happened to be the annual National Day, and many tourists came from all over the country. When we went to the inn booked by the company in advance, we were told that the staff of the inn had made a mistake and didn't arrange our reservation, but the inn was full. The boss has been apologizing to us, saying that the next time we come to live, the house price will be 50% off.
No way, we have to find a new place to live for the time being. However, in such a special period, almost all hotels are fully booked, and occasionally there are one or two hotels left. Usually, rooms above 100 are directly priced at 500-600 yuan, which far exceeds the accommodation standard given by the company.
I was wondering what to do when the little girl said, "Sister, my family has a suite here. Let's go and live there. " My first reaction is that her parents or relatives also live in it. Will it be too disturbing? Just say, "No, we'll see. It is not good to disturb your family. "
The little girl said, "nothing, the house is empty now, and no one lives there." At first, my mother thought she would come here in winter and bought it when the weather was warm, so they only came to stay for a few days occasionally in winter. "
In that case, I won't refuse I saw the little girl pick up the phone and call: "Aunt Wang, my friends and I are coming to my room for a few days. Do you have time to clean the room for us now? " The two of us. Okay, thanks. "
I asked strangely, didn't I say no one? The little girl said it was an aunt invited by his family, otherwise the room would not be occupied for a long time and nobody would take care of it.
When my little girl and I took a taxi to the location of the house, damn it, what a big villa. No wonder I asked my aunt to take care of it, otherwise I wouldn't live long, and the grass would grow tall. Besides, people just bought it for the winter, and I'm a little speechless. Only then did I realize that the little girl still had some money at home. After all, the price of villas in our local state is not particularly expensive.
But after that happened, I realized that people are not only rich, but also rich.
Villa areas are generally in the suburbs, public transportation is not particularly convenient, and sometimes it is not easy to take a taxi. Even with taxi software, waiting for the bus to come in and pick us up is particularly time-consuming. The little girl said nothing directly. There is a car in his garage. Nobody drives it now anyway. Let's drive it.
When I saw the Mercedes-Benz GLC, I was even more dumbfounded. This car was left here by his parents, and he drives it whenever he has time. He usually asks his aunt to take care of him when he encounters maintenance or something.
After packing, I went to the little girl's room to discuss things at work. I happened to see her skin care products, all of which are brands I like but can't afford. A set of basic skin care products can't be bought without tens of thousands of dollars. At this moment, I finally realized that this girl is a real rich second generation. I forgot to mention that her suitcase is also a luxury brand. In fact, I thought it was a high imitation at first, but now I know it was wrong.
Get along, I gradually understand that the little girl's parents are in business. In fact, the business itself is not particularly big, but compared with ordinary people, it is still quite good.
In the early years, her parents especially liked buying a house. As long as they have some spare money, they will use it to buy a house. Later, they met with house demolition, and they all used it to buy houses. Not only here, but also many places in our province and even some cities in other provinces, including first-and second-tier cities, and even more than one set.
I made a rough calculation in my mind. Even if their family doesn't do business, their monthly income is huge. The little girl is a veritable rich second generation.
I joked that you were so low-key. I don't usually see that you are a rich second generation. Why come out to work like you? You can't eat it all your life at home.
The little girl smiled and said, "What is there to show off? That's my parents' money, not mine. They want me to work in their company, but I don't want to. All their employees know me, which is boring. I want to come out and see my true skills, and fight for 2 years to see the effect. If not, I'll go back. "
Well, it feels good to have a way out.
So far, I was the only one in the company who knew that she was a rich second generation until the next day.
A sister came to ask a little girl out for dinner, and her sister drove a Maserati to stop at the gate of the company, which made people look askance. When my sister was waiting for the little girl, it was easy to say that she was the little girl's cousin and this car belonged to the little girl. It is more convenient to ride a small electric donkey at ordinary times, and little girls seldom drive it.
Today, the two of them are going to eat far away, and this sister is coming to pick her up.
From then on, the company knew that the little girl was a rich second generation. However, she still keeps a low profile in the company, is polite to everyone and works hard. She also used her spare time to read books and wanted to take an accounting exam. After that, I left my job and gradually lost contact. Later I heard that she was still in charge of her parents' company.
She really replied: rich people work harder than you, so we are not qualified to slack off.
My colleague gave up her job as a civil servant to help her husband who opened a clinic in the provincial capital. Everyone is puzzled.
A few days ago, my relatives got trigeminal neuralgia and needed to go to the provincial capital for surgery. It is difficult to register. I thought of her when I wanted to find a good surgeon. She used to work in our department. We get along well, but we haven't been in touch for many years. I didn't know whether she would help me, so I tried to call her. She said that she knew the director of neurology and readily agreed to register for me. We were admitted to the hospital smoothly and decided to operate on us on the third day.
In the evening, she arranged for us to have a meal in a large seafood hotel in the provincial capital. The four of us, my brother put 500 yuan on the bar in advance. At dinner, we knew it was embarrassing. There are big bowls of flying crabs, abalone, prawns and a kind of fish. I forgot my name. It is said that 300 yuan weighs a kilo, and a table of dishes is worth several thousand yuan. My colleague gave money to my brother and blamed us for being polite to her. After dinner, we want to find a hotel to stay. She sent us to an empty building in her house. There are six buildings in her house, and she chose the one near the hospital. She said they were all bought ten years ago, and now these buildings have multiplied. I really envy her foresight, but she was only in her early forties and squeezed into the rich class in the provincial capital, knowing why she had the courage to quit her job as a civil servant.
I work in catering, and contracted a unit canteen. There is a vegetable washer in our canteen. She is over 50 years old, hardworking and filial, and wears a big apron every day. I can't see where she came from, but she lent me 1 10,000 at one time, which really surprised me!
This Zhang Dajie has been following me for years. I don't know her name unless I look at the roster. Everyone calls her Zhang Dajie. She is chubby, looks simple, hardworking and quiet. We only know that she is a local and only needs a few minutes to go to work every day.
At that time, my husband won the bid for a project, but he had to pay a deposit of 1 10,000. As a result, we ran out of money, and 1 10,000 is not a small sum. We can't even borrow it. My husband said that I didn't support his work, and the two of them complained and quarreled with each other.
Sister Zhang wiped the table and advised me not to worry. There will be a way.
I don't care. Is there a way? What method?
She motioned for me to go out, then put a hand into my apron pocket and pulled me and said, I can help you and ask my son to transfer 1 10,000 to you, so as to save the emergency first.
Hearing this, I was shocked. Really? Is this elder sister talking nonsense?
Sister, to tell you the truth, I have been following you for several years. You and your wife are both good. I trust you. It is not easy to do things now. I am willing to help you.
After that, she took out her mobile phone and called her son.
About half an hour later, a car stopped in front of our house. I don't even know what that is. My husband said it was Maserati, and a handsome young man got off the bus. Sure enough, it is Zhang Dajie's son.
I didn't hear what her mother said. Anyway, it was that young man who asked for my husband's company account number and transferred it to the account in a few minutes.
My excited tears soon came down. I quickly told Zhang Jie's son, don't worry, we will return it to you in a short time, and we will give you an iou for both of us to sign.
Sister Zhang's son said, if you want to fight, just hit my mother. I only listened to my mother and drove away in his car.
I was really shocked. The whole person fainted in those days. The hidden sweeping monk Zhang Jie is fierce, and the atmosphere is warm!
By contrast, I am really ashamed. I shouted every day, but I didn't have a few taels of silver in my pocket. On the other hand, Zhang Jie borrowed money from me. Don't say 1 million, just 1 million. I guess I don't want to lend it to her either.
She trusts me unconditionally! What a pity that you have helped me so much!
We spent 1 month on this money, and we are going to pay more 1 10,000 when we return it to her. Sister Zhang didn't ask for it, saying it wasn't a curse.
Later, I learned that Zhang Jie's family had a plastic factory, which was demolished and requisitioned and compensated 20 million yuan. My son is doing a good job in landscaping business, and he is also famous in our local area, so he is very strong!
Now a few years have passed and my canteen is closed. Sister Zhang, long time no see, but I am grateful to her all my life!
May Sister Zhang be safe all her life!
I knew a 38-year-old nurse when I was working in a hospital. Before there was a tour group, I always bought food for her when she was hungry, so although I was a man, I got along well with her.
Once, I went to buy her lunch. When she was sent to the ward where she was nursing, she saw a patient's family gave her a big gift, and she was helping her family get up. This makes me curious, because she is only a nurse, why should the patient's family give her such a big gift?
Later, I asked her why the patient's family gave you a big gift, but she didn't answer my question. Later, I asked the patient curiously: Why did your family send a big gift to the nurse who took care of you? The patient said to me: I am seriously ill and my family has no money to treat me. Nurse Huang paid 1 1 ten thousand for my treatment.
After listening to the patient's story, I realized that it was a lifesaver. From that moment on, I admired her very much, and I was even more curious about her, because at that time, a nurse's monthly salary should be around 800. I don't know where she needed so much money to help a patient who didn't know each other pay for medical expenses.
Until this year, on her 38th birthday, she invited several colleagues who get along well with her to her home for dinner. When I first entered her house, I thought her family had just finished the funeral because there was a portrait of a middle-aged man hanging on her high hall.
It is also necessary to burn paper and incense, giving people the feeling that they have just finished the funeral. At that time, one of their colleagues asked her curiously: Did you hang a portrait of your own brother in high school? She said: That's a portrait of my husband. I'm connected next to you: didn't your husband die long ago?
She said: Yes, but in memory of him, my family burns incense and paper money for him every day, because without him, there would be no home today. The house where my family lives now was built at the expense of my husband. Without him, my family might still live in the tile house.
At that time, I thought to myself that the source of the medical expenses she paid for the patients should be left to her by her husband. I asked her: If you don't invest the money your husband left you in business, how can you use it to help others pay their medical bills? What should you do if others have no money to pay you back?
She said: when I was a child, I was sick and hospitalized, and my family had no money to treat me. It was my husband who donated money to treat me for free, so I met him and later married him. I believe that if he were still alive, he would also help the patient pay the medical bills.
Colleagues who heard her say these words at that time all applauded her kindness and put a stick of incense on her husband's coffin consciously, not because we were superstitious, but because we sincerely admired him.
After coming back from home, the head nurse reported to the hospital leaders about her advance payment of medical expenses. Later, the hospital held a half-year summary meeting, and the dean verbally praised her and promoted her to be the head nurse. The dean said: Our hospital needs a caring nurse like her.
The above is the story that I found that my colleagues have money. If she hadn't paid the patient's medical expenses, the patient's family didn't give her a big gift and I didn't buy her anything, I wouldn't have found her so rich. Think about how many people are willing to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to advance medical expenses for patients in an era of hundreds of dollars a month.
I think I know many rich people, but as a widowed young woman, I think she is the most low-key, simple and practical. Because although she is rich, she doesn't have a brand-name dress or cosmetics, and she never shows off.
Nine years after her husband's death, she is still single. It is conceivable that her husband left a deep impression on her, and it is conceivable how much she loves her husband. I also think it's rare for a woman to be infatuated with her.
She can drink spicy food with the money left by her husband, or find another person to remarry. After all, she has no children. But she didn't remarry and spent her husband's money on good deeds. I think she should be accumulating virtue for her husband.
Ten years ago, I worked in a company in southern Fujian. The company treasured a little girl, a local, with an average appearance, like a Jiangnan woman, and a soft voice. I usually live in the company dormitory, eat in the canteen, buy cheap goods online, and go home to ride an electric car on weekends. I am a very ordinary person. One summer vacation, my children came to play. I told the financial manager that I wanted to buy some delicious seafood for the children to taste. The financial manager is a local, indicating that there is no way. The little girl said cautiously, help me have a look. I gave 500 yuan at that time, and the next day she called me to get it. A man drove a Maibakh and gave me a fish weighing about two pounds. I don't know any fish. I opened it when I went up. To tell the truth, it was still a little uncomfortable at that time. Little girls nowadays love to take advantage of small things. A fish weighing two pounds cost me 500 yuan. I met the financial manager after work. He asked me how much the fish was. I said 500 yuan, and he said absolutely impossible. It took 2 100 Jin to buy this fish on a fishing boat. I thought he was joking. Later, one Monday morning, when I was getting ready to go to work at the company gate, I saw the little girl coming down from Maibakh and yelling at the middle-aged man who drove the fish. It's your fault. I sighed in my heart, another mistress. Middle-aged people are very passive to Nuo Nuo's smiling face. The little girl smiled when she saw me and walked with me to the company. I turned around and said to the people behind me, dad, let mom go to my room to wash clothes. I froze. Later, I found that her family had dozens of ocean-going fishing boats, each of which was 1000 million.
I found it by accident. She is a small customer service in our company. Her low profile made me understand what is the best show off. I admire her very much.
20 13 worked as after-sales service in an e-commerce company in Hangzhou, with a salary of about 4000 yuan. Not including food, but including food, the salary is enough. During the summer vacation, our company also recruited several summer workers, mostly pre-sales customer service. After all, they will go back to school after the summer vacation, so it is best for them only before they are sold.
Our work is divided into two classes. The morning shift is from 8: 30pm to16: 30pm, and the evening shift is from15: 30pm to 23: 30pm. Not too painful. Basically, it is to make phone calls and type on the computer to solve problems for buyers.
There is a new female colleague who will transfer her to me for after-sales every time there is a problem before sales. After a long time, I feel a little depressed. Why do so many people transfer it to me every time? So I asked her. But she said: Because your name is Worry-Free, I quite like it. Seeing that you are so free, I will transfer it to you. If handled properly, the buyer will also bring my name when praising, then I will also get a reward of 1 yuan. After hearing what she said, I wouldn't be angry even if I was dissatisfied with her, so I had to end the conversation with a look of standing and talking like nothing.
After a long time, we got to know each other. After all, we are all on the same flight. Her name is Tang Ying, a sophomore in her early twenties. She looks ordinary, not beautiful, with a little dark skin and no special dress. She looks like a little sister in the countryside.
There are four people in our class, who usually eat together. The prepaid cards in fast food restaurants are all A's, so everyone can order a dish, which is very economical. After work, they also go back to the dormitory together.
Once, the four of us worked the night shift, and it was still early after lunch, so we strolled outside and played with a colleague. At first we thought it was a bad stomach, but we all ate the same thing. Then our colleague rolled on the ground in pain, which startled us and rushed her to the hospital. An examination showed that acute appendicitis needed surgery, but the problem came. After we patched it all together, the cost of the operation was not enough. At this time,
I followed her without thinking much. There is an ATM in front of the hospital. At that time, there was no security door at the ATM, and I was standing next to her. I froze when I saw the balance in her card. I subconsciously opened Tang Ying, and then counted the numbers on the screen with my fingers, ten, hundred, thousand, ten, one hundred and one million. Then he looked at Tang Ying dumbfounded and said, this is ... this is ... 800 million ... more than 800 million?
Tang Ying said without a trace of emotional fluctuation: Is there more than eight million? I haven't noticed. This is all the pocket money my father has given me in recent years. I haven't touched it much I didn't expect it to be more than 8 million. Then she took 2000 yuan and dragged me to the hospital to pay for the operation.
I broke my head and didn't understand how such an ordinary girl could be so rich. Why did she come to work as a summer job when she had so much money? Why does she want to eat fast food with us when she is so rich? She is so rich, why should she work hard for the praise of 1 yuan? There are so many reasons that I can't figure it out.
Later, I chatted with Tang Ying, only to know that she is a serious rich second generation, and her father also runs a company. The reason why she came out to work as a summer job is to see what the outside world is like and experience life by the way. As for why she dresses so low-key and eats fast food with us, her answer is: she is an ordinary person and looks very ordinary. She never thinks of herself as a rich second generation. She knows that all the money is given by her father, not earned by herself, and she won't spend it if she can't move. She wants to make money by herself.
After listening to this, I feel ashamed, and I have a new understanding of her. I admire her very much. I never thought there would be such a low-key rich second generation around me. She is also the richest and lowest-key rich person I have ever met. If I hadn't found the balance in her card, I guess I would still think she was an ordinary person.
Two months later, she left us and went back to school. Until now, I have her contact information. At first, I chatted occasionally. Later, her head was always gray and would never beat again. Maybe she has forgotten me for a long time.
So don't judge a book by its cover, and don't underestimate anyone around you. Maybe he is a real rich man.
