There was a trace of panic.
People like us who are crawling around in the market usually master some basic survival skills: be vigilant to those who are too polite and actively smile at you, because most of them want to follow Pay in your pocket.
I took a glance without seeing the price list, and concluded that the price of a cup of American style was at least RMB 50.
I nodded and smiled, shook my head, waved my hand and said, “Thank you, no need.”
My friend said: “It’s okay to have a drink. The car will probably be repaired all afternoon.”
So I stepped forward to place an order, then took out my phone and prepared to scan the QR code for payment.
I asked the waiter, “Where to scan?”
The waiter smiled and said, “Our coffee is free.”
I was silent for a while, feeling that I was humiliated by this rich world again. Especially in full view, he once again showed his own side of the turtle.
My toes scratched the flip-flops slightly, and my old face blushed again.
I lowered my head and said, “Oh, it’s okay…then…I want to pay attention to your official account.”

Holding coffee, we sat in a massage chair with 16,000 sheets after the discount. The sales elder sister on the side enthusiastically changed various massage positions for friends.
“As long as 16,000, it is really a must-have for the home and very affordable.”
Her stress fell heavily on the word “as long as”, stabbing my fragile self-esteem.
It is also an essential product for home purchases. My friend bought a sofa of 16,000 pieces. And the only thing I can afford is the old godmother.
The sales elder sister asked me again if I want to buy it, because it is very cheap to finish the activity, “only 16,000.”
The last time I saw someone who regarded money as dung like this was in the barber shop three years ago.
The director who cut my hair at the time asked me if I wanted to apply for a card.
“Recharge ten thousand and get ten thousand black gold card.” he said.
I said no more.
By the time I finished the third cup of coffee, three hours had passed and the car was almost finished.
I finally figured it out. At least one of the four S refers to Slow.
The maintenance manager called and said that the gearbox needs to be replaced, and the XX parts need to be replaced. Calculating it is about 40,000 yuan for repairs and working hours.
My friend’s face is a little dark, I don’t know if the coffee is too bitter.
I can’t help feeling that a life without money has the benefits of having no money.
The price of the small broken car I usually drive is less expensive than a year’s parking fee.
If the maintenance cost exceeds three thousand, I will not hesitate to spend three hundred yuan to pull the car to the Yangtze River and throw it in.
After the car was repaired, it was getting late and we were driving on a crowded street.
My friend told me about an incident that happened when he stayed in a five-star hotel.
At that time, he wanted to drink a can of sugar-free Coke, but was told by the waiter that the sugar-free Coke on the dining table was only available to customers who reserved the executive lounge.
The friend called in a rage to complain.
That night, the manager delivered wine, fruit plates, cakes and coke to the room and apologized personally.
My friend said, this is probably the benefit of having money.
And he likes to drink sugar-free Coke, which has been specifically noted by the hotel. Later, every time he checked into that hotel, the Coke in the refrigerator was sugar-free.
I was silent.
I thought to myself, the hotel’s remarks probably read “Shier Ma”.
So you ask me, can happiness in this world be bought with money?
I will answer you: “In most cases, yes.” And I advise you to earn money, and wish you rich in the future.
Of course, if you have no money and are happy like me, that would be a lucky thing.
Because once you experience the happiness of too many rich people, the threshold of people will become higher and higher, and there will be fewer things worthy of being happy in this world, and correspondingly, things worth worrying about It will not decrease.
For example,
