Super-rich: Spending money is just a job!

"I'm sorry, Sister Liu, I really can't help you. I have other things to do after get off work today and can't work overtime."

If you insist on assigning me this task, and I can't complete it, don't blame me.

After saying this, Lin Xiaomeng dared not look at Supervisor Liu again, and pretended to be very busy and working hard.

Seeing that she was so unyielding, Supervisor Liu was a little puzzled, but since the work she was doing was really urgent, he found another employee who was slacking off and handed the task over to her.

Lin Xiaomeng glanced at Manager Liu's actions out of the corner of her eye and sneered inwardly. This old fox was just taking advantage of her thin skin and kept piling work on her.

A realization dawned on me: it's not so difficult to directly refuse unreasonable requests from superiors.

I checked the time; there's still an hour until I can get off work. I really need to hurry up and get to work.

Lin Xiaomeng increased the speed at which she typed on the keyboard by a factor of two.

When Supervisor Liu was inspecting the office, he saw her constantly typing on the keyboard and assumed she was really that busy, so he finally gave her a break.

In the last half hour, I clicked save, tidied up my desktop, and stuffed the new phone and apartment key directly into my long skirt pocket.

The old cell phone is placed on the table as a distraction.

In the last five minutes, she saw Supervisor Liu come out to inspect the area again.

Lin Xiaomeng chuckled inwardly. So what if he doesn't want people to leave work on time? Pervert. Even more exploitative than a landlord.

Okay, I'll leave the computer on for now and set it to shut down automatically in half an hour.

I grabbed my cup and started walking towards the tea room.

Manager Liu, standing at one end of the office, saw Lin Xiaomeng stand up from afar. He was about to shout that she couldn't leave work, but then he noticed she wasn't carrying a handbag and was holding a cup, seemingly heading to the break room to refill her water bottle. Her computer was still on, so he kept quiet.

As Lin Xiaomeng walked past Xiaoping's workstation, she exchanged a glance with Xiaoping before turning directly into the tea room.

While I was having a drink in the tea room, Xiaoping came in too.

"You were very smart today, how could you bear to leave so early?"

"I'm going to buy some things later, want to come with me?"

Xiaoping quickly agreed, and the two of them laughed like little hamsters.

As soon as the get off work bell rang, people began to leave the office. They concealed themselves slightly as they walked out of the office.

I don't know if Manager Liu looked for someone afterward, but anyway, they slipped away first.

Once outside, Lin Xiaomeng turned off her phone to avoid being called by Manager Liu.

Luckily, they came out early and managed to squeeze onto the elevator. Had they been any later, they might have had to wait another ten minutes or more and might not have been able to get on at all.

Anyway, they managed to squeeze into the earliest elevator today, and Lin Xiaomeng and Xiaoping were both secretly happy.

The two got on Xiaoping's electric scooter and headed towards the city center.

"Xiaomeng, you really should buy an electric scooter. It would be so liberating to have your own electric scooter, and you could go anywhere after get off work."

Many parks in the city are free. If the weather is nice, you can go out for dinner somewhere a little further away and then take a stroll in the park. Wouldn't that be great?

"Isn't that better than staying cooped up at home? Look at the scenic spot we went to last week, it was pretty good." Xiaoping said as she rode her bike.

"Actually, I'd like to go out for a walk, at least it would lift my spirits. But I haven't been able to save any money yet."

"Hey, your family burden is a bit heavy."

Upon arrival, Lin Xiaomeng directed Xiaoping to park the electric scooter in the parking area in front of an electronics store. "This is it, Xiaoping, hurry up and park the scooter there. Let's go inside the electronics market and take a look."

"Hey, what are you doing here?" Xiaoping locked her car and followed Xiaomeng inside.

"I ordered a few home appliances and I'm coming over to check them out."

"Wow, that's great! Let me see what you bought."

Lin Xiaomeng showed the clerk the order page from her phone, and the clerk immediately led her to the back warehouse.

Pointing to a small pile of goods, he said they were just about to be delivered to the door.

Looking at what was in front of her, Xiaoping was even more excited than Lin Xiaomeng.

"Wow, there's a refrigerator! Now I can have cold drinks when I get home. And a washing machine, you should have bought those too. You should have bought them a long time ago."

This brand is good, and the price-performance ratio is quite good.

There are also trams; this brand of trams is pretty good.

Lin Xiaomeng was also very happy, as her favorite home appliance was that little electric scooter.

This little electric scooter is quite small, a bicycle model with pedals. She chose the largest capacity battery, so it can easily travel 120 kilometers.

It has already been installed by the installers in the mall and can be driven away immediately.

Another advantage of this vehicle is that in their city, such a small electric car doesn't need to be registered or have a driver's license, which is very convenient.

Seeing her test ride the electric scooter, Xiaoping was happy for her, "You really bought an electric scooter, you're really good at keeping it a secret. But these things must have cost a lot of money."

Lin Xiaomeng pretended to feel a little sorry for me, "I did spend some, but I won a small prize, right? Unexpected wealth is meant to be spent right away. What's the point of keeping it? To wait for someone to borrow it? I'll just spend it all and be done with it."

"Hehe, that's the spirit you're in, that's how it should be, I like it." Xiaoping said with a grin.

After confirming with the store clerk that all the appliances to be delivered were complete and arranging with the driver for immediate delivery, Lin Xiaomeng rode her newly acquired electric scooter back home with Xiaoping.

Now everyone can easily travel on their own electric scooter.

Passing by a restaurant downstairs from my office, I asked the restaurant owner to pack my pre-ordered dinner in a takeout box so I could take it back to my rented apartment to eat.

Xiaoping was a little embarrassed, "How could I possibly mooch off you again?"

"It's okay, I've already bought a refrigerator today. Tomorrow we'll just buy groceries and cook at home, and buy whatever we want to eat."

At this point, Xiaoping was delighted, "Great! I'll buy some vegetables and bring them up tomorrow too."

"Let's go back now. Didn't you say the delivery guy would bring the appliances back to your rented apartment right away?"

The two happily carried the food back to their rented apartment.

The building where Lin Xiaomeng lives is a self-built house by farmers in an urban village. Each floor has four or five single rooms with toilets, which are rented out to migrant workers from other places who come to the city.

The building has a diverse population, including single occupants and couples/small families.

It's relatively peaceful, with security cameras at the entrance and on each floor, so it's quite safe. Xiaomeng's income has always been low, so she can only afford to live in this small single room, which is already the best housing she can afford.

She had rented a cheaper place before, but it was a bit too chaotic for a little girl, so she moved here.

Back home, the two took out Xiaomeng's newly bought computer, watched TV series while eating dinner, and waited for the appliance store deliveryman to bring the goods to their door.

The appliance store mechanic was quite busy; it was almost eight o'clock before he finally brought the car downstairs.

The two deliverymen made two separate trips to carry the appliances upstairs, and then there was another round of installation and tidying up.

The installer also had to install the refrigerator, washing machine, water pipes, and other appliances. He was busy until after nine o'clock before he finished installing all the appliances.

Fortunately, the appliance store had already covered the installation fee, so Lin Xiaomeng only needed to give the installers some unboiled water and thank them profusely as she saw them off.

After everyone else was in the house, Lin Xiaomeng tested all the new appliances she had bought.

I double-checked that all the appliances were working properly. It seems big-name appliance stores are indeed trustworthy.

Xiaomeng was extremely satisfied with the items she bought.
