Chapter 1065 - 480: The Tragedy of True Wage Earners
It’s hard to tell if playing such a timely song right now is intentional or accidental.Hmm, the driver is laughing.
It must be intentional!
"You’ll easily get a bad review doing this, driver..." the guy complained.
Appearances can be deceiving; although Lin Li is quite young, he might still be called a "driver" instead of a "little brother."
Lin Li: "You can’t give a bad review OvO."
Guy: "..."
True enough, this ride isn’t booked through a platform, so there’s no such thing as a review.
That makes it even sadder.
The guy looked slightly miserable, listening to the music still drifting in his ears and even turned up the volume, he sighed:
"A senior once told me, salaries are like menstruation, they come once a month, gone in a week, and some people have different constitutions, so it lasts only three days.
But whether they come long or short is normal; what’s most worrying is if they don’t come on time or regularly, that’s a very dangerous signal.
Finally, if life’s strong enough, it might not come for ten months.
Pain, so painful."
Lin Li: O.o?
Lin Li looked through the rearview mirror and chuckled at the guy.
It’s quite insightful.
The old beggars used to say "please be kind," but now they just say "okay, fine."
Cows moo, horses neigh, but only cows and horses say "received, received."
Luckily, I cheat the system, won’t have to endure such things in the future.
Plus, my girlfriend is quite wealthy, even if I fall on tough times, I can become a kept man, hooray.
"Getting paid three thousand but doing thirty thousand worth of work, maybe that’s the grind of a working stiff earning scraps."
So Lin Li, who had no shared feeling, just made a verbal sigh.
"Uh... not quite..." Hearing these remarks, the guy with the buzz cut on the left laughed as he touched his stubbly head:
"With just a three thousand salary, where’s the fight? Who actually works hard for thirty thousand worth of work? My salary makes me feel no guilt when slacking off, just goes with the notion of ’earn what you slack for.’’
True.
Lin Li felt he was right.
"But if you can only slack off without guilt, you’re still not quite there," Lin Li spoke seriously, "I have a friend who can make his boss think he’s working hard when he slacks off, occasionally even gets a small bonus."
"Wow? There’s someone like that? How do you do it? Got any advice to share? Coach, I really want to learn this!" Several guys asked somewhat surprised.
"There’s no real trick or experience, he just slacks seriously. Mainly, the job nature is different." Lin Li answered casually.
"Little brother, what’s your friend do?"
Lin Li: "Deep-sea fishing."
"Deep-sea——"
The three guys: "..."
Sure enough, slacking off too much would make the boss think he’s working hard.
"What fish is your friend catching." The guy in the middle asked with twitched lips.
Lin Li: "Cod, herring, squid, tuna..."
I didn’t ask for a genuine answer!!
Seeing Lin Li answer seriously, the guy’s lips twitched uncontrollably faster, turning words into a sigh.
Alas, obviously on the way home after work, why does it feel as tiring as working overtime.
Looking at the sincere smile on the driver’s face and his eager eyes to continue chatting, the guy suddenly understood why this ride only costs five bucks per person.
Cheap doesn’t mean good quality!
Perhaps he gave rides not to earn extra but fearing boredom on the way home without anyone to torment.
They even voluntarily raised the price to ten bucks per person, maybe the driver should compensate us five bucks each.
"Aiping, I’m a bit tired, I’ll sleep for a while, wake me when we reach..." Seeing Lin Li eager to communicate, the guy decided to doze off here.
Lin Li smiled at the words, turned off the music, and no longer talked to the three but focused on driving.
Since someone was sleeping, the rest of the ride was silent.
Twenty minutes later, they arrived at Xiu Jinming Garden.
"Stop at the gate is fine."
"Okay."
After Lin Li parked the car steadily, the buzz cut guy thanked Lin Li and then shook the guy beside him who fell asleep:
"Yiyang, we’re here, wake up, wake up, we’ve arrived."
The guy in the middle seemed truly asleep, hearing his companion’s call, he just furrowed his brows, turned his head away rather annoyed, shaking his head slightly: "You go first, I’ll sleep for a bit."
"We’ve come home, not the company, sleep more and you’ll spend tonight with Xuchen."
Guy: "Zzz..."
The buzz cut guy sighed helplessly, leaned close to the sleeping guy’s ear, and began to chant:
"Notice, team-building this Saturday, gather at the company entrance at 6:30 AM, must attend, absence counts as a day of leave, full attendance deducted, budget per person 200 deducted from next month’s salary, everyone must prepare a show to perform on stage, share performance video on friendship circles afterward, cannot be selectively hidden, each department head is responsible for checking."
Guy: "(;☉_☉) What!!!!!!"
The guy who was just half-awake now stared wide-eyed like brass bells, incredibly anxious as he sat up.
Sickly sat up in shock, turns out I’m just a fool.
"Is it true? Just released? Crazy? This company is damned again?" He looked at the buzz cut guy, but after a glance, before waiting for an answer, he hurriedly fished out his phone.
"Kidding, you’ve got bedhead, I said this waking you up."
The buzz cut guy sighed helplessly yet affectionately seeing his colleague’s reaction.
"Damn! Scared me——" Hearing this, the guy finally exhaled a long sigh of relief, patting his chest continuously, somewhat resentful as he looked at the buzz cut guy:
