Chapter 18 Give Me 80 Bucks Per Month Each

1485 Words
Seeing that Joe didn't speak, Rachel thought he didn't understand what she meant. "Master, I mean when we are facing the Lord and Mr. Barret..." Joe interrupted her impatiently, "I'm not deaf." "What do you think?" Looking at her expectant face, Joe really wanted to slap her. It was like taking a s**t on someone and asking him if it smelled good. "Don't you think you are a little out of line?" Rachel gave him a timid look. If Joseph knew that she and Joe were in a stalemate, she might be in trouble. "Master, look, we all know that it's a little unfair to you. But don't worry, we have discussed it. If you agree with us, we will compensate you a little bit every month." Joe was confused. Compensate him? How? "What do you mean?" "We agreed that each of us would give you $15 a month. There are 20 of us, which is something to show how much we appreciate your help." Joe was stunned, then stood up abruptly. How dare this group of servants to intend to bribe him with a small amount of money? If Nicole treated him like a dog, then these servants treated him like a turd! Joe was so angry that his face flushed. His clenched fists showed that he was on the verge of an explosion. Rachel was not stupid. She could tell that Joe was enraged. She immediately started plan B, "If it's not enough, we can each pay 30 per month. Master, please be considerate of us. We really don't mean to do this to you. We all rely on this money to support our families." Seeing her miserable look, and thinking that he would have an extra 600 bucks a month, Joe decided to accept this plan. Because now he was enlightened. He was going to be driven away by Nicole sooner or later, so it was the most cost-effective to make as much money as possible before leaving. Since you don't treat me as a human, then I won't have to be kind. He thought. He changed his irritated look and sat down with a smile. "Yes, I understand that it's not easy for everyone. We're all just trying to make a living. I'm not a hard-hearted person. How about this? Each of you gives me 80 bucks a month, and I'll agree to do that. It's good for everyone. What do you say?" "80 bucks?" "Right." "Master, we only make a few dollars a month. 30 is already a lot. If we give you 80, it will be impossible for us to live." "Is it? But Barret said your wages are very high, even higher than those white-collar workers. Not to mention 80 bucks, you have no problem paying me 300 bucks. I don't ask for more, but you guys shouldn't be stingy." "Master, well..." "Don't haggle, just 80 bucks. If there is no problem, let's make it a deal. If you think it won't work, well, I won't force you. But I'm afraid you'll have to look for a job ahead of time. Don't blame me for not reminding you, but you'll lose more than 80 bucks." Rachel hesitated for a second and agreed. She had discussed it with her colleagues before she came, and the best they could offer was 120 bucks, which still saved her 40 bucks. "Deal, Master, 80 bucks then. We'll do it for you." "Oh, you aren't doing it for me. For the salary here, how many people are trying to work here?" Hearing this, Rachel was very embarrassed. Joe didn't care. At this point, they didn't have to pretend to love each other. "Let me see, well, today happens to be the 1st, please collect the money and give it to me quickly. In the future, you have to pay on time on the first day of every month. If it's late, I won't admit it." Rachel's eyes already had a bit of anger, but she certainly didn't dare to flare up in front of him. "Then you must not tell the Lord and Mr. Barret about this." "Okay, we all get what we want. And don't tell the young lady. I'm not afraid of her, but if she finds out you're doing this, it might not end well." "I understand. We'll keep it a secret. I'm going to collect the money now." She hurried out. Joe sneered coldly. "Though I can't provoke Nicole, I can provoke you." After ten minutes, money received, Joe smiled brightly. With his salary and the extra income, that was almost $40,000 a year, plus the 30,000 bounties, that was $70,000, enough to leave the Andrew family and start a small business. If he stayed in the Andrew family for three or five years, he would earn more than $350,000, which he could use to buy a small house in a slightly remote location. From being a rag-picker to this, it was a nice change. He was very happy and decided to celebrate while having lunch. "Barret, can you open a bottle of wine for me?" "Master, why are you so happy?" "Uh...nothing, It's just a pleasure to see my old friends tonight." Barret didn't get suspicious when he heard it, and he felt happy to see him happy. "Okay, Master, what kind of wine do you want to drink?" "Whatever." "Wait a moment." Soon, Barret brought a bottle of red wine, opened it, and poured it into a glass. "No need for such trouble." Joe grabbed it, raised his head and drank, gulping down nearly half of it in one breath. "This wine is not bad to drink. It has to be more than 20 dollars a bottle, right?" He said because he used to drink beer in warren for no more than 10 bucks, and in his mind, 20 bucks per bottle was a sky-high price. After a few days of getting along, Barret and Joe had become familiar and treated him as his own child from the bottom of his heart, so he began to joke. "Oh, you guessed half right. It is 20 bucks, but it's got to be one hundred times as much as 20 bucks." "A hundred times as much as 20 bucks? f**k me, don't you tell me this wine cost 2,000 bucks." "To be precise, it's 2,800 ." Joe almost threw the bottle on the ground. For him, a $2,000-plus bottle of wine was more of a surprise than meeting an alien. He shook and looked at the half-empty bottle. "Then I just drank 1,000 dollars in one sip?" "Well, Master, happiness is more important than money. This bottle of wine is nothing. When you have time, I will show you around our winery, where there are all kinds of good wines." "Do we have a winery?" "Yeah, three wineries." "How much is the most expensive bottle of wine?" "Hundreds of thousands, I think." Joe's jaw almost dropped in shock. In the past, he would not believe that there was such an expensive wine in the world. "It's so expensive! Can you live forever after drinking it?" "Haha, if one can live forever, it's worth more than a few hundred thousand." "Wow, that's... what's the saying? Oh, I remember. The portals of the rich reek of flesh and wine while frozen bodies lie by the roadside." "That was for those who are rich and ruthless. We are very socially responsible. Over the years, the Lord has donated more than two billion in cash directly. If you include all kinds of materials, it is conservatively estimated that there are more than three billion." "Three billion dollars?" "Yes, the Lord often said that one should try to let others be benefited in success..." Barret began to teach again, but Joe couldn't listen anymore. He kept thinking three billion...three billion...three billion... How good it would be to give this money to him!"Master, hello?" "Yeah, I'm listening. Be a socially responsible man, I'll make a note of that." "No, I was asking if you want to pour it into a glass. it's bad for you if you drink it too fast." "Okay, how many glasses can be poured from this bottle?" "Exactly seven glasses." "How much is two thousand and eight hundred divided by seven?" "Oh, Master, don't count the money, just be happy. You can drink as much as you like. We have plenty of this kind of wine in our house." Joe nodded and raised his glass. But there was another thing in his mind. There was plenty of this kind of wine here? Why not steal a few bottles and selling them? $2,800 a bottle, nearly $30,000 for 10 bottles. How fast could he get money like that! "Master, what are you smirking at?" "Nothing. Sit down and have a drink." "No, thanks. I'll go prepare something for the evening." "All right."
