Chapter 922: Chapter 503 Sending Books Computer_3

Yan Fei did some quick thinking and realized that this boy’s family was probably extraordinarily wealthy. But that had nothing to do with him; he was currently discussing with Xu Xiaoyan, "Let’s not go out to play tomorrow, okay? Let’s rest at home for one day, gather our energy, and make a sensational debut the day after!"

"Mhm!" Xu Xiaoyan nodded. "The teacher also said that it’s not necessary to train all the time. I didn’t train today, and resting has made me feel better. I can perform better that way. However, I want to go check out the competition venue again tomorrow, is that okay?"

"What’s not okay about that? As long as we don’t have to walk, it’s fine. Let’s rent a car to go there, have a look, and then come back."

"Hey! So what do you think about our big sister’s boyfriend?" After discussing serious matters, the girl started to gossip.

"He’s pretty good! He seems like a decent guy. He’s quite generous, too—worried I wouldn’t get enough to eat, he got me two portions," Yan Fei was very satisfied. Earlier, during dinner, the big-spender who was treating them had specifically asked Yan Fei if he had enough to eat and ordered an extra portion for him.

Actually, there was another girl with a boyfriend who had also come. However, that boyfriend was a bit reserved and didn’t have Yan Fei’s thick skin. Even though eating one or two portions made no difference to him, he still ordered an extra portion—this fellow was thinking that the beef in the restaurant was from his own family’s business, indirectly helping his client.

In reality, it was like a classmate gathering, with a group of girls making quite the buzz. Xu Xiaoyan was also occasionally called by her name to give her opinion on some matters.

Despite being mostly girls, they were all university students. With three boys present, it wasn’t appropriate to talk about things like cosmetics and fashion, so the conversation turned instead to national affairs. They discussed topics such as the chairman visiting America, the closing ceremony of the country’s eighth sports meeting, the economic crisis, and so on.

But as the conversation proceeded, it shifted to TV series and movies. A Chinese Odyssey and Fairy Zixia were obviously far more interesting to talk about than the economic crisis. Thus, Yan Fei had no choice but to continue eating. He had some knowledge about the national and international affairs they were discussing just now, but he was clueless about the current topics.

The host of the dinner, Chen He, had asked him twice, seeing that he genuinely hadn’t watched any of the popular movies of the time, so he could only ask if Yan Fei wanted more to eat. This made a group of girls laugh uncontrollably—of course, they were laughing in jest, and unwittingly, the fellow ended up with quite the good reputation. Xu Xiaoyan, using his honey was doing favors. On regular days, there were also snacks like beef jerky, and the girls knew who provided those goods. Accepting gifts from others often made one feel indebted!

Moreover, everyone generally understood now that Boss Yan was wealthy, and Xu Xiaoyan had brought the girls to play at the house on the experimental field before. If it were anyone else not aware of these trendy things, that would be considered out-of-date. But when it came to the wealthy dog breeder, Boss Yan, people automatically interpreted it as him being solely focused on his business rather than these trifles.

So after everyone had their laugh, someone teased him, "Boss Yan, you shouldn’t just focus on making money without enjoying life! You should also pay some attention to trendy elements. I strongly suggest you buy a VCD player..."

"Yes, yes, yes, even if you don’t have time to watch, we can watch it for you when we’re free. When you invite us for a meal, we can tell you the plot, which will also save you time!"

"That would be less useful than getting a computer! Buy a computer directly, you can also go online. Boss Yan, if you don’t have time, Xiao Xingxing can also use the internet!"

"Buying a computer is a great idea, I support it! Not only can you watch movies, but you can also play games, read news, a computer is much better than a VCD player."

"I also support buying a computer. Boss Yan, you can even send emails with a computer. You send them from here and they can be received over there, it’s really convenient! Once your business expands, a computer will become indispensable."

"Xiao Xingxing, quickly support us..."

A group of girls giggled and eagerly discussed the thought of Yan Fei buying a computer.

Yan Fei had visited the technology market not long ago when he was buying a copier and had seen people operating computers, but he hadn’t paid much attention then due to being short on time and having important things to do. Now, thinking back, this thing called a computer did seem to have a lot of functions. Spurred on by a group of girls, he couldn’t help feeling a bit tempted.

"Thinking of buying one?" Boss Yan was a man of prompt action—no sooner had the thought crossed his mind than he quietly sought his wife’s opinion.

Now that everyone was looking at him, and even though he was speaking softly, they all heard him. However, this time there was no teasing—the computer was not cheap, a basic one costing several thousand, while a better-configured one could cost over ten thousand RMB.

In an era where the average wage was a few hundred RMB and most people’s annual income did not surpass ten thousand, a computer was definitely a luxury item.

Xu Xiaoyan was also tempted, but the thought of the price made her wince—the technology market was not far from the school, and she walked past it every day on her way back home. Even without paying much attention, she knew that the computer was expensive.

Seeing her reaction, Yan Fei made a decision on the spot: "Then after we check out the track tomorrow, let’s come back and buy a computer."

Having made his decision, he smiled and said to everyone, "Neither of us knows how to use one, so anyone who is skilled is welcome to come over and teach us—we’ll provide the meals, including the beef we’re eating right now."

"Yay!" Several girls cheered. "Boss Yan is so grand, saying he’ll buy a computer and just going for it. We all support you!"

After the excitement settled, Chen He smiled and said, "I do know a bit about computers, not an expert, but I can manage the basics. I happen to be free these next few days, may I come over tomorrow afternoon?"

"Welcome, welcome, Teacher Chen!" Yan Fei said, jokingly. "Then it’s settled; tomorrow morning we’ll check out the track and come back to buy a computer in the afternoon. In the afternoon, we’ll all ask Teacher Chen to tutor us!"

This meal really was worth it.

Buying a computer was for himself and his wife to use and enjoy, but there was another reason, one that he kept to himself—Yan Fei had his own little scheme in mind.

Seeing that the group of girls were interested in the computer, buying one would probably make them even more willing to follow Xu Xiaoyan to their home to play in the future.

For an item worth just a ten or twenty thousand RMB, to get a few girls to keep his wife company seemed like a brilliant deal—not to mention these weren’t the only ones interested in the computer. Perhaps with a computer at home, his wife could have even more friends to hang out with.

As for the matter of providing food and drink, those were just trivial issues.

As long as it made his wife happy and she had friends to spend time with, money was no object.
