Chapter Ninety-Nine: An Extra Glass of Milk
"Paid?"
The first official salary in his life was recorded, Lin Chen was surprised and happy in his heart, looking at the reminder of the receipt, even the anxiety in his heart was reduced a lot.
No matter what industry, the main factor that makes every employee make up his mind is salary, which sounds good, no matter how broad the prospect is, not only does not have income but also pays back, which is a pyramid scheme. A normal profession is always a reality greater than an ideal. Diligent salary, income can't even support yourself, and then talk about the so-called dream, the so-called persistence is ridiculous.
When they are young, many young people fall into the so-called ideals and cannot extricate themselves, and they can give up everything for the sake of their ideals. Why do they have the leisure and elegance to pursue their ideals? It is not how high their realm is or how broad their future is, there is only one reason, their parents are raising them behind their backs.
If they even have problems with food and survival, there will never be anyone who pursues their ideals in a leisurely and elegant manner.
Life can not lose ideals, people without dreams may not even be as good as salted fish, but life can not only have ideals, there are many more important things.
When you fall into poverty, then you will be satisfied with food and clothing, and when you solve the problem of food and clothing, you will not need to rely on others, and you will be qualified to pursue your dreams.
Lin Chen is the same, why did Father Lin make a one-year appointment with him? Not to put pressure on him, but to let him know the distance between reality and dreams. How much distance is there between them? It's just a bowl of rice, a family.
From the moment he got his salary, he had the confidence to stay in the live broadcast industry and go on proudly.
"Is there a mistake?"
At the same time, Lin Chen was also a little hesitant, he was not unaware of the live broadcast industry, there were not a few anchors who didn't get a penny for several months of live broadcasting, even if some big anchors, their income in the first month was only a handful, not even a thousand yuan. You can get 2,500 yuan in the first month, and the start is definitely a heavenly show.
Enter the anchor backstage with doubts, wanting to find the answer. A minute later, he completely let go of the loss in his heart, and 2,500 yuan was indeed his first month's live broadcast income.
"Haha, my salary has arrived, have you received your salary?" After getting the first salary, Lin Chen wanted to find someone to share his joy.
"Hey, you've gotten paid? I haven't yet. Ah Hao was a little surprised, thinking about it, he nodded again: "That's right, around Panda 5 counts the gifts received by the anchor, removes the share, pays taxes, and will pay the salary before the 10th." How's it going, how much money do you get in the first month?"
The panda platform determines the anchor's salary before the fifth day of each month, and the salary will be displayed in the background, this salary is the pre-tax salary, and the anchor receives the after-tax salary, and there is a certain gap in the actual income.
Lin Chen replied with a smile: "Hehe, two thousand five, although I can't compare with Brother Hao, I am already very satisfied." ”
But no, before the live broadcast, he was ready to have no income in the first two months, and he had a salary of more than 2,000 in the first month, which was definitely an unexpected joy.
"Two thousand and a half, so much?" Even if he was ready, Ah Hao still felt incredible about Lin Chen's salary.
Ah Hao's reaction made Lin Chen stunned: "Isn't it two thousand five, that's a lot?"
In the past two years, the development of the live broadcast industry has been obvious to all, almost with an explosive attitude, and it has penetrated into all aspects of young people's lives. The value of top anchors transferring and transferring platforms is increasing day by day, from hundreds of thousands to hundreds of millions now, and the media are exclaiming that the value of top anchors is close to that of first-line stars.
Even if you don't consider the top big anchors, the anchors who are slightly famous have no big problem earning hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. In front of them, more than two thousand is not money at all.
Maybe he could guess Lin Chen's thoughts, Ah Hao said a little speechlessly: "Don't compare you with big anchors, they have worked hard for decades, and it's normal for them to be worth a lot of money." Do you know what my first salary was?"
Without waiting for Lin Chen to answer, he said directly: "Two thousand yuan." ”
What's the difference between 2,000 yuan and 2,500 yuan? It's more than 2,000 yuan, you're too surprised, aren't you?
Just when Lin Chen wanted to complain, he heard Ah Hao continue: "But I'm different from you, my first salary is not the first month's salary, but the half-year salary." I broadcast live for half a year before I got my first salary. It's not just me, it took five months for Shazi Live to get the first salary, more than 1,900. You have just entered the live broadcast industry, and you can get more than 2,000 in the first month, which is a miracle in my opinion. ”
Speaking of this, he sighed softly: "The same people really don't have a good life, with your talent, conditions, if you are willing to show your face live broadcast, it is possible to increase your salary ten times in the first month." ”
Seeing Lin Chen catch up with him in a month, it was impossible for Ah Hao to have no ideas in his heart. He suddenly understood the reason for Black Box's jealousy, and in the face of a demon, a sense of powerlessness can indeed make people crazy.
Shaking his head, throwing the melancholy in his heart out of his mind, Ah Hao regained his composure again, they are friends, and friends should not be mixed with other emotions except blessings: "How is it, does it feel good to get the first salary, should you invite us to a meal at night?"
Hearing this question, Lin Chen smiled lightly: "I definitely want to invite you to a meal, but not tonight, I want some other people to share my joy." ”
Compared with his friends, he wants to leave this joy to some other people, and it is they who give him the motivation to persevere.
Ah Hao may or may not understand, but he didn't dwell on it: "Okay, anyway, you remember to owe us a meal, just don't forget." Okay, I'll go see if the salary has arrived, and we'll talk in the evening. ”
"Okay, see you in the evening. ”
Ah Hao had a break in the afternoon and did not broadcast live, they were chatting with QQ.
replied, and asked the audience for two hours off in the live broadcast room, Lin Chen changed his clothes and quietly ran out of the gate, he wanted to take out his salary.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Lin's father and mother, who had been tired all day, rushed home, put the goods in the small yard, and opened the door to see Lin Chen standing next to the dining table with a smile.
"Xiao Chen, what's going on with the dishes on the table?" Mother Lin was obviously stunned, and asked subconsciously, she didn't remember that she had bought these things.
Lin Chen raised his head and said with a little smugness: "Of course I bought it." After speaking, he walked to his parents and pushed them to the bathroom: "Don't ask, you go wash your hands first, and after washing your hands, we'll eat." ”
After washing her hands, Lin Mu came out of the bathroom, and said complainingly as she walked: "There are still some leftovers at home, just heat it up at night, there is no need to buy so many vegetables, it's too wasteful." ”
After being thrifty for most of her life, Mother Lin is reluctant to eat hundreds of yuan for a meal, unless someone from the family comes, they rarely buy meat dishes from outside and go home, most of them cook and eat by themselves.
"I bought everything, don't nag about it, it's rare for Xiao Chen to have a heart. Before Lin Chen could speak, Father Lin stood up and defended, and after speaking, he couldn't help but answer: "Forget it this time, try not to buy it in the future, if you want to eat it, follow us, we will buy it cheaper in the past." "He's actually a little distressed.
Misunderstood by his parents, Lin Chen didn't explain, and after they sat down, he said, "Let's eat by ourselves, how can it be considered a waste." And there is a happy event today, I must buy some delicious food to celebrate!" he said, pulling out a neat stack of renminbi from his pocket.
"Mom and Dad, I'm getting paid. That's two thousand five hundred dollars, my first month's salary, for you. After speaking, he put 2,500 yuan in front of Lin Ma.
Looking at the small stack of RMB in front of her, Mother Lin was a little confused: "Have you paid your salary?"
Not only is it Mother Lin, but even Father Lin is a little confused: "It's what kind of anchor you are doing, and they pay you a salary?"
Lin Chen nodded heavily, for the first time, he didn't hesitate, he didn't hesitate, and said without hesitation: "Yes, this is my first month's salary as an online anchor, I am a newcomer, my first month's salary will be a little less, and my monthly salary will be more in the future." Mom and Dad, you don't have to work so hard in the future, and I can support this family. ”
How many times did he finally say what he wanted to say.
I don't know why, after listening to him, Mother Lin, who was supposed to be happy, quietly left tears, she didn't want to be discovered by her son, so she turned around and almost burst into tears, but the more she wiped it, the more she wiped it, and she burst into tears in the blink of an eye.
Not only Mama Lin, but even Dad Lin's eyes were a little red, but he didn't cry, but smiled lightly: "What kind of stupid thing to say, I'm your old man, before I lie down, this family doesn't need you to feed." Keep your salary, buy something you like, and talk about your girlfriend in the future, go out to dinner with your girlfriend, watch movies, as long as it doesn't waste it. ”
As a father, he never considered letting his son subsidize the family.
"Yes, your father and I are not old enough to move, what do you say to let you support your family, and you are not afraid of other people's jokes when you spread it, as long as you can take good care of yourself. After saying a few words, the tears that had just been controlled flowed out again.
Lin Chen stepped forward, gently wiped away the tears on Lin's mother's face, and pretended to be relaxed: "This money is not for you, it is for Xiao Yun to go to school, Xiao Yun will come back from vacation in two days, and she will have to go to school after staying at home for a few days, she will go to high school in the second half of the year, and there are many places to use money, and this money is my heart." ”
The Lin family is a family of four, in addition to Lin Chen, Lin's father, Lin's mother, and Lin Yun, who is in high school, and she will enter the third year of high school at the beginning of the next semester.
The reason why Lin Chen's family is financially tight is to support two students, and the pressure on any family will not be much less.
"You, the elder brother, want to give money to your sister, we can't control it, but you have to give it yourself, and we don't participate. Father Lin stood up and forcibly stuffed the money into Lin Chen's pocket: "But you keep your salary for yourself, and we don't participate in how to spend it." ”
Lin Chen understood Father Lin's character, but he didn't continue to insist, in his heart, he had already allocated how to use this part of the money.
Since graduation, Lin Chen has spent the most relaxing night, after eating, his parents did not go back to the room, but returned to the room with him, curiously watching him fiddle with the computer.
Once again, he introduced the webcast to his parents, and this time, the parents listened attentively.
They know what popularity is, what subscriptions are, and they know the price of a gift. When parents heard that a Buddha jumping over a wall was equal to a thousand yuan, it was full of incredulity.
They couldn't believe that a virtual gift was worth a thousand dollars. When they knew that a local tyrant sent a thousand Buddhas to jump over the wall at one time, they were so shocked that they couldn't speak, they just kept shaking their heads.
After introducing everything, the parents returned to the room, Lin Chen prepared to broadcast live, it seemed that everything had not changed, but everything was completely different.
In the middle of his live broadcast, Lin Mu knocked on the door and lifted the quilt hanging on the wall to give him a cup of hot cow brain.
Putting the milk next to the computer, the corners of Lin Chen's mouth couldn't help but raise a smile, he knew that this glass of milk already represented his parents' greatest support for him.
The one-year covenant of the past has vanished.
