Chapter 238: Interesting Soul
TBBT apartment.
Room 4a.
"Everyone is so happy today, let's go out for a dinner together, right?"
Penny suggested.
"Okay, I'll pay for it. β
Bernadette laughed.
"What?"
Howard was stunned and looked at Bernadette in confusion.
Usually everyone eats together, basically AA system, occasionally Owen will invite, Rajesh, a rich man who has been squeezed into a corner, will also buckle the rope to pay once or twice, but there is no precedent for others to pay the bill.
Except for Owen and Rajesh, everyone else has average economic conditions, and Bernadette is no exception, you must know that she has been working part-time as a waitress in a cheesecake shop for more than five years in order to study for a doctorate, and the dignified doctor is doing the same job as Penny, which shows her embarrassment.
"Bernadette, you don't have to do this, please ask Owen and Rajesh to please, they're both super rich anyway. β
Penny said thoughtfully.
"yes. β
Leonard and others chimed in.
"It's okay. β
Bernadette suppressed the joy in her heart and smiled confidently, "I am valued by a large pharmaceutical company, and they want to give me a huge salary. β
"What~"
The smile on Howard's face froze, and his heart groaned inexplicably.
"Wow~"
Penny exclaimed, "Huge salary?
"The annual salary is 600,000. β
Bernadette said happily, "This is the basic salary of the entry, and there will be an additional sales share bonus after the drug I developed is launched." β
"Hiss~"
Petunia gasped and stammered, "The annual salary is 6.6 million US dollars? I am now receiving the minimum wage, 3,000 US dollars a month, how much is it in a year~"
"$36,000. β
Sheldon naturally took over the topic, and said, "The bonus in the future is not counted, Bernadette is equivalent to 16 years and eight months for you, although the value of money does not fully represent the value of the individual, but I have to say that for you, the value of money is completely in line with the positioning of you and Bernadette." β
β......β
Penny froze, her good mood was gone, she rolled her eyes and ignored Sheldon, she knew in her heart that Sheldon's words were not rude, thinking that they were originally colleagues, and they also had dreams, but now one has realized her dream and become a female doctor with fame and fortune, but her dream of stardom still doesn't see any hope, and she can't help muttering, "The female doctor of the pharmaceutical company is really making money, I knew that I had studied hard before~"
What is the dream of becoming a female star for?
Isn't it a day when you will get rich overnight, gain fame and fortune, and the scenery is infinite!
And female stars look beautiful, and the annual income of top first-line female stars is calculated in tens of millions of dollars, but there are countless dreamers around Hollywood in Los Angeles who have become famous, and how many of these few female stars have reached the level of top first-line?
That's a frighteningly low probability!
Even if Penny is a scumbag and full of fantasies about the future, deep down she is just famous for her position, striving to become a third-tier female star and striving to reach the second-tier, this is her plan, and the top first-line is just an unattainable dream.
And the income of second-tier female stars is only in the millions, Bernadette's basic annual salary has reached 600,000, and when a new drug is developed in the future, the bonus from the sales share is definitely a real huge salary, which is really not much worse than that of second-tier female stars.
"Ha~"
When Sheldon heard this, he couldn't help but sneer.
"What's wrong?!"
Penny looked at Sheldon hatefully, only to think that Sheldon's smile was particularly annoying at the moment.
"Alright. β
Seeing that Sheldon was about to be upright again, Owen couldn't help but interrupt, "The protagonists tonight are Bernadette and Howard, let's go out to dinner together." β
"Yes, yes. β
Leonard nodded in agreement.
Everyone set off in batches, Leonard drove, taking Sheldon, Penny, Amy, Howard drove, taking Owen, Bernadette, Rajesh, towards the restaurant.
In the car.
"Owen, why don't you drive your luxury car?"
Howard muttered as he drove.
"Quit it. β
Owen smiled faintly, "Didn't you notice that I have been walking to work lately?"
"On foot?"
Howard was shocked and exclaimed in disbelief, "Are you kidding?"
"Huh. β
Owen smiled lightly.
Howard tilted his head and thought about it, and found that he hadn't seen Owen driving recently, so he couldn't help but ask, "Why?"
"Tired of it. β
Owen sighed, "No matter how luxurious the car is, no matter how awesome the technology, no one wants to appreciate it, what's the point? If it weren't for traveling with everyone, the time would not have come, and I wouldn't even be in the car now." β
"Why?"
Bernadette and Rajesh shouted in unison.
"Huh. β
Owen opened the car window, looked up at the sky at 45 degrees, and said abruptly, "It's not okay to suspect the car without evidence......"
"What the hell is this? β
Howard complained, "Just for this, you didn't even touch the car?"
"Did something happen?"
Bernadette said softly, "Emotionally, I haven't seen you have a female companion lately?"
"That's right. β
Howard was surprised, "That's true! Owen, what's wrong with you? You didn't say you had a female friend a week, but at least once a month."
Now that I think about it, it's been a few months, and not only have no new female friends around you, but even the ones that used to appear regularly are gone, which is simply so strange that you and Rajesh are a couple who don't know. β
Saying this, he smiled and glanced at Rajesh and Owen in the back row from the rearview mirror.
"Hah!"
Rajesh smirked a few times, and complained unhappily, "Now that you are proud, don't forget that others thought we were a couple before~"
He was joking. β
Howard was so uncomfortable by Rajesh's tone and eyes that he didn't dare to joke anymore, and whispered a laugh to Bernadette, who was squinting at the passenger seat.
"Speaking of which~"
Rajesh glanced at Howard sadly, collected his mood, and looked sideways at Owen, "I found that not only do you have no female friends around you, but even you have some problems looking at other people's eyes." β
"What's the problem?"
Howard wondered.
"Didn't you notice?"
Rajesh frowned and said, "Owen has been looking at Penny and Bernadette lately, and their eyes have stayed on their faces......"
"Nonsense!"
Howard interrupted speechlessly, "Where else can he put his gaze if he doesn't put his gaze on their faces?
βe onοΌβ
Rajesh exclaimed, "I mean, normal men look at women, or rather, normal people look at people, whether the other party is a man or a woman, the gaze will always sweep over the whole body of others, after all, some curves are very attractive to the gaze......"
"Getting to the point!"
Howard exclaimed with a dark face.
Bernadette smiled at the corner of her mouth, unconsciously raised her head, and straightened up against the saddle.
The two glanced at each other in the rearview mirror, so many years of good friends, after making sure of their eyes, they understood each other's intentions, obviously, Howard thought of the poem written by Rajesh yy Bernadette before, although Rajesh has always insisted that it is a beautiful masterpiece, but it is indeed very obscene.
βokοΌokγ β
Rajesh felt guilty, looked away, and said curtly, "We talked about Owen, his eyes were always on Penny and Bernadette's faces, please note that it was always, all the time!"
"That's true!"
Howard said suddenly, "I said why do I always feel weird about Owen lately, it turns out that this is the case, such a deliberate action gives people an unnatural feeling, Owen, what's wrong with you?"
"The most important thing to look at people is to look at a person's soul, everything else is illusory. β
Owen smiled bitterly, "The eyes are the windows of the soul, and the part above the neck is the real essence of human beings, so I have recently tried to block out others and specifically look at other people's souls through the window." β
βhat the holeοΌβ
Howard exclaimed.
"What is this theory?"
Bernadette frowned and said, "Although a person's soul is important, but other things are equally important, if you only look at the soul represented above the neck, then is there still a distinction between male and female human beings?"
"That's right. β
Rajesh chimed in, thoughtful, "And I have a question, you specifically try to look only at the area above the neck, but if a person, like Bernadette, is hung upside down there, how does that count?"
βohοΌnoο½β
are all doctoral-level geniuses, the connotation of Rajesh's words, everyone understands in seconds, Bernadette blushed and said, "Rajesh, what do you say~"
"Rajesh !!"
Howard yelled angrily.
"I'm sorry. β
Rajesh said weakly, "I'm just curious, Owen, what do you say?"
Owen was dumbfounded and speechless......
