A woman in China has gone viral after people saw her getting dropped off at her dishwashing job in a fancy Bentley car. The woman works at a restaurant in Chengdu, a city in Sichuan province. In the video, she gets out of the black luxury car wearing her work clothes, including an apron and rubber boots.
As per CNBC, someone posted the video on Weibo, a popular Chinese social media site, on April 1. The video got millions of views very quickly. China Times, a local news site, found out that the woman actually has a lot of money. She washes dishes at the restaurant because she wants something to do. She told reporters why she keeps coming to work. “I feel very bored at home and my body feels uncomfortable if I don’t wash dishes for a day,” she said.
Her daughter is the one driving the Bentley. She takes her mom to work every day and picks her up when the shift ends. At first, the daughter did not want her mom to do this kind of hard work. But the mom really wanted to do it, so the daughter gave up trying to stop her. Now she just helps by being her mom’s driver.
This is what having enough money really looks like
The boss at the restaurant said the woman does not need the job for money. She washes dishes and cleans up around the restaurant. But she is not there for the paycheck. She just wants to stay busy and have something to do during the day.
The video’s text said the woman has plenty of money but no way to fill her free time. Someone even joked that the restaurant boss was probably poorer than his own worker. In the video, the woman looks happy and ready to start working.
People on Chinese social media had a lot to say about the story. Many people said good things about the woman. They liked that she stays active and keeps herself busy. Some people said they wish they could be happy doing any kind of work when they have enough money. One person wrote that when you have money, you can enjoy doing anything. While some fancy car owners worry about tracking devices getting put in their cars, this woman just uses her car to get to the job she loves. Other people told stories about their own family members who do the same thing. They said some older people feel sick or upset when they sit at home doing nothing all day. The story made sense to many people who think it is important to stay busy. The woman still goes to work at the restaurant. She shows up every day in the same Bentley with her daughter driving.
