I earn really hard money

Chapter 419 What is Respect?
"Come on, come on!"

Ma Bochao didn't let his mother urge him again. When Ma Zhenliang packed up and sat at the dining table, he also walked out of the bedroom quickly. Because he walked too fast, he took the decoration off the doorknob, and hurriedly picked it up and hung it up again.

"Son, how are you and Teacher Li recently? I haven't seen her for a while."

While eating, Liu Xia took a chopstick of fish and sent it to Ma Bochao's bowl, and asked with a smile.

The teacher Li she was talking about was naturally Ma Bochao's girlfriend Li Tingran.

Ma Bochao responded with a slightly unnatural smile, shrugged and said: "It's still the same, usually the school is very busy, and I don't see her often."

It can be seen that he is not very interested in this topic.

Naturally, Liu Xia could see her son's emotions, so she quickly changed the subject and asked about Ma Zhenliang's research institute.

Ma Zhenliang doesn't like to talk much when eating, and many things in the research institute need to be kept secret, so there is not much to talk about.

After going around for a while, Liu Xia looked at Ma Bochao again, and said with a smile, "Son, I haven't seen Teacher Li for a long time and still miss her a little bit, why don't you bring her home for a light meal this weekend, what do you think, old man?"

When Ma Zhenliang heard his wife asking for his opinion, he nodded cooperatively and gave a nod. He usually doesn't care much about his son's relationship issues, but he still hopes that Ma Bochao can get married as soon as possible.

Ma Bochao sighed helplessly, and said with a smile: "Mom, Tingran has been very busy recently, and she is preparing for the professional title exam. Let's talk about it later, otherwise she probably won't be in a relaxed mood."

"That's it...that's fine." Liu Xia was obviously a little disappointed, and there was an instant silence at the dining table.

After two minutes of silence, Ma Bochao suddenly looked at Ma Zhenliang and asked tentatively, "Dad, are you not going to think about the invitation from the laboratory of H·E Investment Company?"

Ma Zhenliang paused with his chopsticks in mid-air, and then continued to reach for the bowl after a while, and said with a slight smile, "It's too old to go so far to do scientific research, it's better to wait a few years to retire safely and take care of yourself at home." comfortable."

Hearing Ma Zhenliang's words, Ma Bochao pursed his lips and said, "But, if you go there, your academic theories can play a greater role. Didn't you often complain that the research institute didn't make good use of your patented technologies? ?”

After finishing speaking, Ma Bochao said in a low voice again: "And...and you can get higher rewards, right?"

Recently, Ma Bochao could clearly feel Li Tingran's gradual estrangement from him, which seemed to start with the two of them considering the wedding room.

I don't know when it became popular to have a house for marriage. Ma Bochao thinks this is the advocacy of capital, using high housing prices to kidnap young people's free future, but women are very fond of this...

Li Tingran hopes to have a wedding room. Although he is unwilling, but considering his girlfriend who has been in the marathon for several years, he has to be anxious.

But with his own ability, it is impossible for him to have a house in Shanghai that Li Tingran can fancy!
Buying a property in a third- and fourth-tier city may be a lot easier, but in a city like Shanghai, a house will definitely empty the pockets of a family of three, and then bear debts that last for decades!

Even a family like Professor Ma Zhenliang's is no exception.

Speaking of this important event related to the happiness of his son's life, Liu Xia instantly stood by Ma Bochao's side, supported Ma Zhenliang's arm, and said softly: "Old man, sometimes you have to think more about Bochao. , you know it."

Professor Ma Zhenliang carefully chewed the fish and rice in his mouth, put down his chopsticks after swallowing, and showed a complex look: "Ten times the salary, this treatment feels very attractive, right?"

Both Ma Bochao and Liu Xia nodded, don't you understand?
"It's extremely difficult to increase my retirement salary by a few percentage points. This one thousand percent increase has only appeared in my dreams..."

Liu Xia said with a strange expression.

Ma Bochao nodded in agreement: "Even if I become the class supervisor, I can earn an extra 2000 yuan a month..."

Ma Zhenliang looked at his wife and children with helpless eyes.

"But do you know? An Australian doctor of medicine with an annual salary of 30 Australian dollars, after joining the laboratory of H.E Investment Company, his annual salary became 300 million Australian dollars! There is also a Canadian veterinarian who was originally at the University of Guelph in Canada. As a professor and lecturer, 22 Canadian dollars a year, and now the annual salary is more than 200 million Canadian dollars!"

Ma Zhenliang let out a long sigh, and seemed to be deeply melancholy.

"This..." Liu Xia was slightly startled, and frowned, "Old man, do you think that even if you get ten times the salary, you are still lower than them, and you feel uncomfortable?"

She is very clear about her old man's income, even if it is increased by ten times, it will only be at the level of more than 200 million Chinese coins a year. Comparing several currency units, the gap in salary and benefits is immediately apparent!
Ma Zhenliang's face was tangled, and after a long time, he only said one sentence: "I am not inferior to them in academic contribution!"

Although they didn't say it explicitly, both Ma Bochao and Liu Xia could see Ma Zhenliang's unwillingness to be reconciled. His skills were no worse than others, so why should the treatment be so poor?

"Dad, since you have an idea, you can discuss it with H.E Investment Company. The chairman of the company is a man from the Celestial Dynasty, and he will definitely not treat you badly!"

Ma Bochao persuaded him a little excitedly.

Most of the time, it is the elders who persuade the younger to work hard. It is really rare for the younger to persuade the elders. There is a weird feeling of wanting to gnaw at the old, but afraid that the old will not be able to gnaw if they don't work hard.

I don’t know when the behavior of gnawing on the old has stopped being criticized so much. In today’s era when many families can’t afford a house even if they empty their pockets, it is a kind of happiness to have an old person who can gnaw.

As long as it's not the kind of "gnawing old man" who suddenly gets excited and wants to start a business, and then takes out the entire family savings to invest...

Ma Zhenliang looked at Ma Bochao inexplicably: "Son, do you think that kind of high-ranking guy would personally care about such trivial matters as recruiting talents? You are so naive..."

Liu Xia sighed, and said, "I thought Consultant Qiao's tone was not respectful enough, that's why you declined the invitation..."

When Consultant Qiao from the headhunting company came to the house, Liu Xia was there, and she heard the conversation between the two. Compared with those juniors who came to visit Ma Zhenliang, Consultant Qiao's speech was more business-like and formal.

There is even a faint sense of superiority of "what are you waiting for already ten times the salary".

Ma Zhenliang looked at Liu Xia with a strange expression, and asked, "What is respect?"

After finishing speaking, he replied: "Equal pay for equal work is respect! Otherwise, it is disrespect..."

After all, Ma Zhenliang just felt that he didn't get the respect he deserved!

Ma Bochao chewed his rice dryly, and said in a muffled voice: "Dad, I think we should find a way to contact H·E Investment Company, just in case..."

Ding dong.

A doorbell rang.

"Hey, who will it be at this time?"

Liu Xia got up full of doubts and walked towards the gate.

Opening the door, Liu Xia was taken aback for a moment. There was a beautiful woman standing at the door. This sight made her confused for a while.

"Girl, who are you?"

"Auntie, I'm Huanyanli, this is Ma Bochao, is Teacher Ma's home?"

Huanyanli was standing outside the door pretty, carrying a lot of things in her hands.

"Looking for our family's Bochao?" Liu Xia was taken aback again, the number of times girls have come to look for your son since she was a child can be counted with a single slap, she asked Huan Yanli to enter the room first when she opened the door, and then said in the direction of the restaurant: "Son, a girl is looking for you."

Soon, Ma Bochao walked out of the restaurant scratching his head, and when he saw Huan Yanli, he instantly showed a surprised expression.

"Teacher Huan? Why are you here... this is?"

While speaking, he pointed to the gift box in Huan Yanli's hand, not knowing why.

"That's it!" Huan Yanli put a lot of gift boxes on the shoe cabinet in the entrance, looked at Liu Xia and said with a smile, "Auntie, I'm a teacher at the same school as Mr. Ma. I just joined the job today. Thanks to Mr. Ma for taking me Familiar with the school, otherwise I don’t know anything, these gifts are small gifts, please accept them.”

"I can't ask for it. These gifts are not cheap. You don't have to be so polite to help colleagues."

Ma Bochao shook his head immediately.

Huan Yanli puffed her cheeks and said: "Mr. Ma, if you don't accept it, I will be embarrassed to enter the office in the future. In fact, it is not too expensive, so just accept it. You see, I have brought it here. It is so heavy." .”

As she spoke, she opened her palm, revealing a few strangle marks.

"This……"

Ma Bochao wanted to decline, but Liu Xia hastily opened his mouth.

"Mr. Huan, you are too polite. Well, have you eaten yet? We just started eating, do you want to sit together?"

Liu Xia looked at all kinds of fruits, supplements and high-grade ingredients, and then looked at the sweet-looking Huan Yanli, and a burst of inexplicable emotions came to her heart!

"Auntie, I have something to do later, so I won't stay any longer." Huan Yanli waved her hands again and again, then looked at Ma Bochao: "Thank you, Teacher Ma, see you tomorrow."

"Ming... see you tomorrow!"

Ma Bochao waved his hands mechanically, and watched his mother send Huan Yanli out, and then came back to his senses.

boom.

After gently closing the door, Liu Xia looked at Ma Bochao with weird eyes: "Did you feel that girl Tingran was a little cold recently, so she changed to a new target? I didn't see that you still have this ability..."

"What, Mom, it's not what you think..."

Ma Bochao was a little embarrassed, and said depressedly: "Teacher Huan is telling the truth. She just came to school this afternoon and also teaches biology, so she can chat with me better. What does it have to do with Li Tingran..."

"No matter what, look at how caring the girl is. This fruit is very expensive, and it costs more than 100 a catty. This box is four to five hundred, and this bird's nest, my God, Aunt Zheng told me last time I said before, what kind of blood swallow is this called, it is very precious!"

"What's the matter, who's here?"

Seeing the bustling mother and son returning to the restaurant, Ma Zhenhao asked curiously, his character is like this, knowing that someone is coming, as long as he is not looking for him, he will never join in the fun, if he can hide, he will hide people.

Liu Xia put the fruit and bird's nest on the table and said: "Your son brought a new teacher around the school, and he came to thank your son. Take a look, look, the island country Aomori apple, this is the Taiguo blood swallow, How sincere, son, if you ask me, this girl is probably interested in you."

As a retired housewife, Liu Xia is not familiar with the cutting-edge technology of the world pattern, but she is quite proficient in these high-end fruits, ingredients and supplements, which are all accumulated experience in shopping malls.

Ma Zhenliang didn't have much feeling for these high-end consumer goods. With a monthly income of 40 yuan, he still drank more than [-] catties of green tea. He looked at the gift box helplessly, pushed it aside, and glanced at Ma Bochao with a questioning look.

Ma Bochao was instantly made one head and two big, and explained the situation in the afternoon again, and then said: "Don't think too much, Teacher Huan's identity is not simple. The principal took her to the office in the afternoon, and she is very special Money, Teacher Qin said that her clothes cost hundreds of thousands more..."

"Oh, be good, are you a big star? A whole body worth hundreds of thousands..."

Liu Xia's complexion changed, and she said twice, "No wonder the gifts cost tens of thousands of yuan. Such a girl... I didn't say it, son, you can't control it, so don't make up your mind before it's too late."

Liu Xia very much hopes that her son will get married as soon as possible, but she is definitely not a blind mother. As an old man from Modu, she knows very well what kind of people can get together. If the family conditions do not match, most of them will not end well in the end.

"I didn't make up my mind. It's you who kept talking about it..." Ma Bochao was quite helpless, but he was a little guilty when he said this, and Huan Yanli's playful and lovely cheek appeared in his mind from time to time.

"In that case...then you'd better return the gift tomorrow, so as not to be misunderstood!"

Liu Xia put the gift box on the side coffee table in a somewhat dispirited manner. She really hoped that the girl just now could become a daughter-in-law.

Ma Bochao frowned unhappily and said, "Just now I said no, but you changed the subject, and now you want me to return it, I won't go..."

"Okay, then tomorrow I will go to the gate of the school to help you return it, this will work..."

Liu Xia was also a little helpless. If she had known this was the case, she would not have made her own decisions.

Ma Zhenliang looked at the mother and son and shook his head, not knowing what to say.

After the episode, the family was preparing to continue eating when the doorbell rang again...

"What's the matter today?"

Liu Xia's face was full of surprises. In the past year, there would never be a situation where two guests came to a meal.

Standing up and walking towards the gate, he muttered: "It's not the girl who came back again, right? Then just return the gift to him..."

Ma Bo raised his forehead, wishing to put down the bowl and chopsticks and go back to the room to play games, but unfortunately he was not full yet.

Opening the door with a whimper, Liu Xia froze in place again, looking at the handsome young man and a sassy western woman outside the door, and asked in confusion, "Who are you two?"
