Sister Vera: What, older man, that’s my old baby!!
Layla:
Sister Vera: Is his daughter about your age?
Obviously, this friend had guessed Layla was talking about her own situation, so this question was asked more seriously.
Layla: No, she’s only 5 years old.
Sister Vera: 5 years old???
Sister Vera: How about I take this bullet for you?
Sister Vera: Little Layla, you know me. Actually, I’m not interested in multi-million-dollar luxury homes or million-dollar luxury cars at all. I mainly just want to be someone’s stepmother!!
Seeing her childhood friend’s messages, Layla couldn’t help but roll her eyes. The answer was already obvious.
In the face of absolute wealth, things like being older, divorced, or having kids were not issues at all.
Both this childhood friend and her best friend, Josie, had the same attitude.
One can only say social norms have changed! Of course, there must still be girls who pursue true love and don’t care about material conditions at all, just fewer of them.
Sister Vera: Seize this opportunity well, chances to cross class boundaries are rare.
Her childhood friend sent another message, unusually serious this time.
Almost at the same time, a message came from Josie: A colleague says Mr. Deby’s house is the 688 square meter floor plan in Mimia Bay, worth over 40 million Dollars.
(Josie): Mr. Deby’s net worth must be over 100 million!
(Josie): So that night, I actually rejected a multi-millionaire!
(Josie): Darling, I suddenly lost confidence in myself. Even with an annual salary of 100,000, it would take me 400 years to afford his house!
(Josie) In other words, I’d have to start working from the 4th year of the 16th century era!
Looking at her best friend’s messages, Layla also fell into deep thought. Some things really shouldn’t be thought about too much, like this chasm-like wealth gap.
Some people live in 40 million Dollar luxury homes, while others can’t even afford a 40 square meter apartment!
At the entrance of Goodwill Kindergarten.
Jacob arrived early today; there are still fifteen minutes until Macy gets out of school.
He didn’t get out of the car but sat inside, opening the folded group chat and finding the group named 【Deby’s Business Prosperity】.
This group was for the employees of Jacob’s previous BestDiet restaurant. At its peak, there were over sixty people in the group, but with the closure of the restaurant, only 18 remain now, leaving 17 besides Jacob himself.
Jacob had thought about disbanding the group, but he couldn’t bring himself to do it. He wanted to keep it as a memento in case there was a chance for a comeback; he could gather everyone again.
The people still in the group were mostly long-time employees who had followed Jacob from the beginning; the shortest had worked for him for three or four years, while Sarah had been with him for ten years.
So many had become friends, and they occasionally chatted in the group. The last message sent was three days ago.
Sarah had suggested that everyone gather when they had time and tagged Jacob, but he hadn’t paid attention to the messages in the folded group and didn’t reply.
Perhaps because their former boss didn’t engage, not many responded, and it eventually fizzled out.
After some consideration, Jacob tagged everyone: Brothers and sisters, long time no see! Let’s gather next Monday at noon at Coolest Hot Pot in Mimia Commercial Street. I’ll treat, and I hope everyone can come!
Ezekiel: Mr. Jacob, are you finally coming out of retirement?
Sammy: Wow, a fresh boss! I happen to be off on Monday, I’ll definitely go!
Tobias: I didn’t know when I’d be off, so I’ll take Monday off.
After sending the message, he immediately received several responses, all clearly stating they would attend.
Seeing these familiar names, Jacob couldn’t help but smile slightly. They were all brothers and sisters who had fought together. Seeing these names reminded him of the days running the BestDiet restaurant. Although it was busy and tiring, the feeling of striving for a better life was still very nostalgic.
Just as Jacob was lost in his memories, Sarah sent him a message: Mr. Jacob, how about we gather at the restaurant where I’m currently working? We can get a discount.
Seeing the message from this loyal employee and good sister, Jacob chuckled and shook his head, knowing she was trying to save him money.
He replied immediately: There’s a reason for the gathering location, and you’ll know when the time comes.
By the way, quit your current job!
At this time, it wasn’t yet the evening rush hour, and the restaurant wasn’t busy. Sarah stared at the message on her phone, momentarily stunned.
Since the closure of Deby’s BestDiet, she had fantasized many times about the day Jacob would suddenly call or message her, telling her he was reopening a restaurant and wanted her to help.
Even if it was just a pancake stall, she would be willing! However, she had never received that call.
