In the car, Lilly continued to ask questions.
The rich spirit resentfully rubbed his head and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal. I just got crushed by money."
"Wow!" How much money is that? "Did you put so much money at home?" Lilly was puzzled.
The rich spirit said, "I am the president of a foreign trade company. We earned a lot through foreign trading. We got a lot of business and have to move fast to seize the opportunity. I was leading a team at that time. We worked hard and became the largest domestic trading company."
The rich spirit had always been able to predict business opportunities in advance. He had strong leadership ability too. Naturally, the company grew bigger and bigger.
Lilly nodded, "Then, how did you get crushed by money?" She is really curious.
Rich ghost sighed, "This had to do with one of our trucks… I got a truck when I started my business. I used all my money to buy the truck. I drove it to deliver goods back and forth. My trip would be smooth sailing whenever I drove the truck. It’s different from other trucks. When I earned my first bucket of gold, I worshipped my truck."
Lilly asked, "Is there anything to do with the truck?"
The rich spirit continued, "Our business is getting bigger and bigger, my truck is certainly not enough for the goods. So, I changed my truck to a bigger one. The first truck has been idle in the warehouse. I would still worship my original truck once a year because I’m superstitious. I’m afraid something bad would happen if I used other trucks. I wanted to treat my employees after a year of busy work. I planned to give every one of them at least 50 thousand dollars in cash. The employees in higher positions would get more."
"I realized that the truck I originally drove is the best to transport the money. That day, there was still room in the middle and I sat in the back. Seeing all the money made me happy. I fell asleep and leaned my head on the pile of money. There was an accident suddenly, the truck collided with the car in front. When the driver pulled the brake, the bags of money fell on top of me. I couldn’t breathe at all. My driver was arguing with the other driver. It took him two minutes before he remembered me."
The rich spirit sighed, "I got crushed by money like that."
