"I bought him some stuff today because I want to thank him. He didn't ask me to buy anything. Besides… he's only an ordinary salaried worker and doesn't earn as much as me," Li Gui said.
Qiao Mei smiled mockingly. She was not mocking Li Gui, but Xu Ba. His job position was not low-ranking and his monthly salary was at least 140 dollars. Since he worked in a state-owned unit, the benefits were good too. He was considered to be in an outstanding position in this era. In business, one would still need to face both losses and profits. For Xu Ba, it was pure profits all the way.
"Who told you that he doesn't earn much?" Qiao Mei asked.
Li Gui did not say anything. She had guessed all these things, but Xu Ba had indeed always intentionally or unintentionally mentioned that there was a difference in their financial statuses.
