"Then why do you care so much about what other people think? Ms. Lucia? Does everything have to be compared?"
Eddie continued.
"One person's opinion means nothing, and the opinion of a group of people means nothing."
"I think you know the direction you want to pursue, but you don't have the courage to take that path. It's like you are facing a crossroads. In order to get the approval of others, you have to fight with what you think is right every time. It’s going in the opposite direction.”
"Even if I say that you are inferior to others, what does that mean? Can the weight of some of my personal words determine your life?"
After saying these words, Etil didn't mean to comfort Lucia, but put on his helmet and was ready to start the training in the afternoon.Before leaving, Etil said.
"You've run many successful tournaments."
"Why don't you choose to let go of your career once, and pour some nectar and clear springs on your love that is almost dry and dead."
"Learn to relax, Ms. Lucia, and without you, the game may not be impossible. Just like this world, without anyone, the seasons still change, and the sun at dawn will rise as usual."
Etil came to Lucia and put the macaron in front of her.
"Desserts are the best way to keep people in a good mood."
"Ms. Lucia, in my heart, you have always been a successful person, and you are the most outstanding and outstanding successful person. It is really, very remarkable that you have built your own business empire by yourself."
Adele stood solemnly in front of Lucia, bowing to her.
"In business and money, you are my idol, Lucia O'Learyben."
The person who comforted her left. Lucia looked at the blooming gardenia in her hand, put it gently on the tip of her nose, and carefully felt its plain and mild fragrance.
In my mind, I kept repeating what Adele told her.
emotion and money
"Why don't you try to let it go for once."
Lucia sat quietly in her bedroom, holding the blooming gardenia in her hand.
"Obviously it has been in operation for so long, it's like playing a big game of chess, and when you are about to win, you persuade me to give up."
Lucia recalled every word Etil said, and couldn't help laughing bitterly.
"Idol......"
"Maybe in some respects, I can indeed become your so-called idol, but in terms of emotions, I am like a lost lamb...what should I do..."
The next day, Lucia came to the White Queen's training ground, and Adele was sitting on the side drinking water leisurely. On the other side, she is willing to lower her attitude in front of Aidier, perhaps because of Aidier's idol yesterday, or her attitude of never wanting to compete with others.
"Please tell me what I should do."
Adele put down the water glass, looked at his pocket watch, and said to Lucia.
"Presumably, there is no time to waste. We need to learn from each other before the final. I will teach you how to deal with emotional problems, and I want you to teach me about money."
Eddie continued.
"I want to try to use money instead of being a slave to money and living in poverty all my life. I hope to have a future of financial freedom."
It seems that the major has finally matched. When Aidier said the term money, Lucia's expression became playful again, because isn't this what she is best at?Lucia asked Etil jokingly.
"I thought that people like you would think that the word money is dirty and filthy, and that people who chase fame and fortune are incorrigible and become slaves to money."
Etil shook his head and said to Lucia.
"No~ You misunderstood me. There are some people who chase money all their lives, but become slaves to money all their lives, but you are different. You master the money and make it work for you. That's why, I I can call you..."
"Idol."
After listening to Adele's words, Lucia stood up with a smile. The two of them are cooperating with each other and needing each other, rather than their own unilateral demand relationship just now, so she doesn't need to be humble at this moment.
"So, in terms of emotions, shouldn't I also call you an idol?"
Eddie said mockingly.
"Oh, think about it. The person in front of you is a complete loser in terms of emotion. I want to ask you, do you really want to do what I say?"
"Who isn't a loser?"
Lucia came to Etil and held out her hand to her.
"So, our cooperation is reached, right? Idol?"
After hearing this, Adele reached out and squeezed the opponent's hand tightly.
"Yes...Idol."
The mutual learning between the two started at this moment. Every day at noon, the two met and took out two hours of lunch break to discuss with each other about feelings, and money.
"Since you said that you don't want to be a slave to money and want to live a life of financial freedom, then let me ask you, what is your definition of financial freedom?"
Lucia tapped on the blackboard with teaching aids, and Etil, who was sitting down, was holding a notebook, looking like a good student who was paying attention to the class.
"I'm not sure...maybe it's about being able to handle some major crisis, maybe it's not breaking my family by some situation that requires a lot of money."
"wrong."
Lucia continued.
"The so-called financial freedom means that your non-wage income is enough to cover your daily expenses. You once asked Scott to help you buy stocks and funds, which proves that you have already started to have the concept of financial management, but you just have the concept , but don’t know how to control money and make money work for you.”
"Most people work hard for their wages all their lives. Once they lose their jobs and wages, they will have no way to live. A poor man through and through."
Lucia tapped on the blackboard and said to Adele.
"So, financial freedom means that you can choose to continue to work, or not to work, and your passive income has already achieved living expenses. If your monthly consumption is two thousand booleans, and your non-wage income is two thousand Zero one boolean, and that counts as you have achieved financial freedom."
"Living by wages, you will always be a poor man, and you will never be rich by wages alone."
After Lucia's hour was over, the person standing in front of the blackboard became Adele. At this time, Lucia was also holding a small notebook below and listening carefully to what Adele said. The sudden change of roles made the two of them They both feel very interesting, rather like two complementary "losers".
"What do you think feelings are, Ms. Lucia."
"Would you like to put down your work and cook a bowl of noodles for Mr. Joseph in the kitchen?"
Lucia raised her hand and said.
"Why can't the chef do it, and I bring the noodles to him and tell him I made it?"
"It feels different..."
Eddie replied with a smile.
"When you put in your own efforts for the sake of your relationship, when you see the other party eat up the noodles you cooked to your heart's content, and even drink up the soup, you will have a sense of accomplishment, just like you made A work project has the same purpose, but it is also fundamentally different."
The two of them at this moment are sometimes teachers and sometimes students, telling each other what they have been pursuing for a lifetime.
In the afternoon, Etil sat in the racecourse, and according to what Lucia said, he began to set up his own plans and goals for money, his future residence, expenses, and expectations for money.And Lucia also came to the kitchen, began to clumsily chop vegetables and tomatoes, and began to try to cook noodles.
One is planning the future of himself and his lover, while the other is trying to apologize to the other party and restore what he has lost.
As Lucia said, in some respects, both of them are complete losers, but it cannot be denied that both of them have dedicated their all to what they are pursuing.
Presumably the only difference from Lucia is that Lucia had to give up her work for the sake of emotion, while Etil, no matter what she did in her life......
All for the girl named Violet.
poor and rich
As the final day approached, the courses of the two were also gradually upgraded. Lucia began to teach Aidier how to analyze the company, how to read the company's annual report, and analyze the company's development strategy and prospects.And the two started a discussion and analysis on the future development of the company on the topic of CH Postal Company.
In addition to financial management, Etil told Lucia how to be a qualified wife, and to suppress her strength and self-conscious superiority, try to blend in, try to communicate with each other, and have a dialogue.
"I've never eaten in the staff canteen."
"Everything has a first time."
Lucia's sudden arrival today really made the cafeteria manager sweat a lot. He can only pray that there will be no mistakes in the food for Lucia at this time, otherwise the boss will blame him and fire him, which will be troublesome.
Compared with Aidier, the manager of the cafeteria looks like a refined and capable mature man in a neat suit, shiny leather shoes, and expensive watch, while Aidier wears a plain skirt and no jewelry on his body. It seems that there is no so-called aristocratic temperament, but in Lucia's eyes, the manager is far poorer than Etil, because he borrowed hundreds of thousands of Bul from the bank in order to buy those things on his body, his house and car. This is his debt.However, Etil's debt is zero, and with Scott's help, he has a little income from funds and stocks every month.
Rich and successful people never judge a person's wealth or poverty by clothes and possessions.
Seeing Lucia seriously analyzing the people coming and going, as if she had committed an occupational disease, Adele brought two dinner plates by herself, and soon came to the seat with the lunch for the two of them.
"what is this?"
"fried chicken."
"fried chicken......?"
Lucia frowned unconsciously as she looked at the fried golden chicken nuggets and drumsticks in front of her, as well as the oily flakes on them.
"Do you like to eat this kind of food?"
"What's the problem?"
Watching Aidier put the chicken nugget into his mouth, the residual oil at the corner of his mouth exuded a greasy luster, Lucia pushed the chicken nugget in front of her forward, and said with some disgust.
"Don't you think it's unhealthy or something? For example... greasy... that affects blood pressure or something... or... obesity. …”
"I can see you didn't go hungry during the war years, but even so, fried chicken is pretty tasty food, you wouldn't... have you?"
"Never have."
After listening to Lucia's answer, Etil picked up a chicken leg and handed it to Lucia and said.
"There is always a first time in everything. Appropriate intake of oil is beneficial to the body. The amount of oil that a person will eat in a lifetime is far more than you can imagine. Eating such a piece will not kill you."
Lucia dubiously put the chicken nuggets into her mouth. After biting the crispy shell, first the crispy taste accompanied by the fragrance of the batter, followed by the thick juice and plump and smooth chicken. Lucia took a bite and found that this It doesn't feel bad, and the expression of resistance has long since disappeared into the sky.
"I kid you not, try the stewed beans."
"Eating too much steak, changing the taste occasionally and eating some whole grains is also good for your body."
Eddie said to Lucia while eating his fried chicken.
"You see, after giving up your superior attitude and superior cognition, you will find a lot of interesting things. Although your attitude is very good in the business world, you should relax occasionally, look down, and have another piece of chicken .”
Adele was eating, and suddenly lifted the tablecloth and hid under the table. Lucia was stunned for a moment in the face of Adele's reaction, and then she also noticed a rush of footsteps, thumping Running towards this side quickly, when she turned her head, Violet was already very close.
"Chief Etil...is it Chief Etil!!!!"
The arrival of Violet attracted the attention of many men present, and everyone's eyes turned to the two of them.
"stop."
Lucia's eyes darkened, she had to save Adele, and she stood up between Violet and the table while thinking about the favor Adele owed her.
"I clearly...I clearly saw it! That dazzling white!"
"You read it wrong."
"But......!!!!"
"Violet!!!!!!!!!"
Lucia's roar made Violet take two steps back unconsciously. Looking at the serious expression and the two plates on the table, Violet's hands trembled. Lucia came to this kind of big cafeteria. , and there are two dinner plates, there must be some reason for it.
"I said you're blind."
"Go away."
"If I'm blind... Who is the person who is eating with you? You, why did you come here..."
"Why do you think you can take care of my business, I let you go!"
Lucia's attitude was very firm, so Violet could only bow her head and backed out silently, looking back from time to time, but only Lucia's gloomy face greeted her.After Violet walked away, Adele waited for a while before coming out from under the dining table on her knees.
"You owe me a favor, Adele."
"Okay~ okay~... I will return it to you if I have a chance."
Shrugging helplessly, Adele knew that this was not a place to stay for a long time, and she didn't know if Violet would be hiding somewhere to peek, so she quickly ran out of the cafeteria with the fried chicken legs stuffed in her mouth.
"There are still a few days left for the game..."
Looking at Etil's back, he looked like a free white bird. Lucia even felt a little bit reluctant to start the finals, because it symbolized that the two of them would leave here and go to the palace of Drossel. Getting ready for the summer wedding of the century.Although she has trained Violet to be a real lady as promised, she has a problem that is difficult to choose.
"Maybe... I can be like them..."
"Where you want to go, you can go there, there are no constraints, no taboos..."
Lucia looked at the remaining fried chicken in front of her, and ate all the leftover chicken pieces. To Lucia, these fried chickens were not very delicious, and these fried chickens were brought by Etil.
I don't know why, eating what they eat, coming to where they stay...
