To be honest, this is the first time I despise myself for being so poor.
At a dinner party last night, the two eldest sisters had "drunk too much" and wanted to sing, so I went along. Of course, I was dragged there by them. Wages were paid, we had a New Year's Eve dinner and ordered a lot of red wine. Actually, I wasn’t drunk last night. I won’t drink beer anymore, and I don’t dare touch liquor. I heard that drinking too much can really break my body. I haven't tried it, so I don't dare to make any judgments.
After the show, we went to a KTV in the next city. Not to mention, it was quite luxurious.
As soon as I got there, I met a beautiful woman in uniform coming out of the box, counting several hundred yuan in cash in her hand. You can tell from the attire that he must be a staff member.
In this era where laughs at the poor but not at the prostitutes , I am very tolerant of everything, including my own "poverty". I just think about how hard I work 24 days a month, and my salary is only more than 2,000. It makes me sad to see people earn hundreds of dollars after working a few hours at night.
This is not a problem. The problem is that the whole company knows that I am the only one whose salary is more than 2,000, while everyone else’s salary is more than 3,000. Obviously there were several colleagues who came in much later than me. I worked every day at noon for a month and only earned two or three hundred, but my colleagues casually received a salary increase of several hundred. I really felt a little uncomfortable. It was obvious that the same work was not paid at the same level.
You know, it is already 2023, and there is still a salary of two to three thousand. Do you think the boss wants to inject new blood into the company? Take the opportunity to replace me.
's business boomed last month and has already made a profit, but the boss will not share it with you. The cake has grown bigger, but your share is still the same. Sometimes, there is really no point in trying hard.
amount. . I digress, let’s talk about what happened in the KTV box.
Although it was my first time to go, I guess there is a one-to-one "service" staff member in each box. She is a girl, in her twenties, pretty, fair-skinned, good at singing and dancing, very smart, and very good at "making trouble". She has high emotional intelligence and can talk. Of course, the wine is also good.
With my quiet and weak temperament, even I feel like I can’t protect myself.
Our boss is very domineering and stuffy when he drinks. Of course, singing is also fun and fun. He dragged me over to dance. I was really dragged there, no matter how hard I struggled, it was useless. But I can't play with
. I'm not suitable for that kind of environment at all, I know that.
I almost fell down two or three times and kept struggling, but I didn’t want to.
The girl saw that I didn’t want to, so she came over and hugged me, and took me to the sofa. I hugged her back and walked down the steps. Well, it’s just like the ballroom dance in the TV series. Do you have a picture in your mind?
The two eldest sisters neither said anything nor came forward. I understand, after all, they are both the boss's own people. Of course, I will never drink with them again. Firstly, they didn't dare to come out to help me, and secondly, they often said bad things about me in private. In fact, I know everything, but I usually pretend not to know. I don’t harm others, this is my “means” to protect myself from harm, and it’s understandable.
What I didn’t expect was that the girl would come out to help me out, because we met by chance and there was a high probability that we would never meet again in the future. But this is her place of work, and there is no need for her to "offend" my boss. My boss is a "regular customer" of KTV at first sight.
When leaving, the little girl hugged me again, and I hugged her too, whispering in her ear: "Thank you, protect yourself."
"Be safe on the road." The little girl nodded lightly.
I drank boiled water, not alcohol. In the early morning, I was playing with my mobile phone at the door of the box. There was actually no signal. I just couldn't adapt to the environment. I came out to get some fresh air. A customer from the boss of
also came out. He asked me for WeChat. The QR code was opened. He stretched it out in front of me and asked me to scan the code. I have to say that he is really "sincere".
"No, thank you!" I asked twice and I clearly refused. There is no need to waste each other's time. I actually don’t know the person, I must have met him a few times. He is always there during the Chinese New Year dinner every year.
Only five minutes later, his wife made a checkup call. I just heard him say "I'm drinking, I'll be back later", and then he hung up without even saying "bye". You really can't blame me for "eavesdropping". They answered the phone in front of me. I'm actually not interested in other people's personal affairs. The only thing that interests me now is probably "making money." [Laughing]
In fact, his business is quite big. Another client who came with him invested in a project worth more than 20 billion. But this has nothing to do with me. I never envy others for making money. That is the result of their early efforts. Although, my salary is only a little over two thousand. But I also understand that I am "too shallow" and I simply can't "play" with others, so there is no need to put myself in danger.
Although I am not funny, these people are not "good people". I can see so many people touching the little girl in the box. Of course, the little girl also knows that she is actually much smarter than me and knows what she wants.
The kind of person a person gets close to will determine the kind of person he becomes. In such an environment, I should actually change it immediately. I have no choice but to be short of money, so I have to endure it for the time being. I don’t plan to drink any more wine.
I often walk by the river, and my shoes don’t get wet. I have to "protect" myself. Because they are not good people. Because, really no one here will "help me".
I am so grateful for the little girl who was much younger than me who was willing to come to my rescue. Because she could have done otherwise. Hope she gets better and better.
A hundred years ago, Lu Xun said: "Human beings' joys and sorrows are not the same." But in fact, women are more likely to empathize, probably because they have faced the same situation. Because I have been caught in the rain, I would like to hold an umbrella for others.
A person's character can be seen through details. Whether a person is worthy of deep friendship depends on his attitude towards the weak.
Because, this will most likely be his attitude towards you in the future.
It’s 2023, and it’s time for me to calm down and make money. Because having money will give me the confidence to get out of the environment I am in.
At the critical moment, the only one who can save me is myself. The only one who can make me better is myself.
In 2023, may we wake up in the world and become addicted to making money.
I like the Chinese New Year more and more now, because everything can go back to the "original point" and everything can start again.
In 2023, let us start from the salary level.
