Global Prices Have Doubled, but My Salary Remains the Same

Global prices doubled overnight. The price of soy milk at the bun shop downstairs increased from 2 yuan to 4 yuan. The subway fare increased from 3 yuan to 6 yuan. Even the shared power bank downstairs in the company dared to charge 10 yuan an hour. Other people's wages have risen along with the rising prices, but Zhao Tiechui's salary has remained unchanged - still 3,500 yuan per month. When buying pancakes and fruit, the boss stretched out his hand and asked for 16. Zhao Tiechui felt all over his body and took out 8 yuan: "Boss, my salary has not been increased, can you make half a set for me?" The boss poured the batter on the spot, thinking that he was here to cause trouble; when he took a taxi to work, the meter beat faster than his heartbeat. When he got off the bus, the driver asked for 80. Zhao Tiechui directly photographed his badge on the passenger side: "How about you come back to the company with me and ask my boss for it?" What's even more outrageous is that he sent Xiao Sun to see how miserable he could be, and ate and drank with him every day. As a result, the two of them pooled their money to buy a bottle of mineral water, and they had to pay AA "the price before the price doubled." The supermarket lady regarded him as a stingy fraudster, and sent him directly to the police station. Later, Zhao Tiechui discovered that the company boss was his long-lost second uncle, but the second uncle patted him on the shoulder and said, "Tiechui, the company is going to be listed, so your salary should be regarded as a contribution to the family." From then on, Zhao Tiechui became the representative of the "worst beaten workers" on the entire network, and the United Nations gave him a banner as "Human Anti-Inflation Pioneer"—after all, he was the only person in the universe who could survive on doubling prices with 3,500 yuan.
