Chapter 354: Chapter 353 Completion of the Transaction

At this point, the siblings suddenly fell silent together.

After a while, Zhen Yu finally said, "It doesn’t matter whether we come back for meals or not! Anyway, Mom doesn’t eat with us now!"

"That’s true," Zhen Yan’s expression was mixed with both happiness and sadness, "She’s got Uncle Gu cooking meals just for her now! Heh... it feels like we’re just freeloading! We can’t even eat at our own home every day!"

"Isn’t it nice to ’dine out’ every day?" Zhen Yu casually remarked.

"Bullshit!" Zhen Yan cursed, goaded by his sister...

"Enough! Stop talking about that!" Zhen Yu didn’t want to drag their mother into the conversation, and handed over some walnuts. "Take these 20 walnuts with you, eat one a day. Starting today, all the free time you have should be devoted to studying Chinese and English!" Zhen Yu’s tone suddenly shifted from relaxed to serious, "Remember!! Lock them in the cabinet! No eating extras! No giving them away!"

Zhen Yan composed himself and nodded solemnly.

At this moment, everything between the siblings was understood without words. One did not ask more; the other did not say more.

"Eat one and then go. We should head to school!" Zhen Yu added another reminder.

"Okay!"

——

With a heavy heart, Zhen Yu attended classes all afternoon, and as usual, she bolted as soon as the school day ended.

"How’s it going?" As soon as she entered the internet cafe, Zhen Yu rushed over to Zhang San and asked!

"Some people have come to apply for cards! Just not many."

"How many?" Zhen Yu licked her lips, nervously asking.

"Seven or eight, maybe!"

"Keep an eye on things! Oh, and monitor tonight’s all-nighter situation! Report back to me tomorrow morning!"

"Don’t worry! But this doubled price... Are we really not giving members any discount?!" Zhang San confirmed again.

"No discounts!" Zhen Yu said with finality!

"Members have never gotten discounts on all-nighters! We can’t start that now! You just watch! Those who aren’t willing to spend six Yuen per hour in the daytime are surely waiting to try their luck at night! We can’t let members monopolize all the good deals! Otherwise, we’ll have spoiled their appetites!"

"You’ve thought it through as always!" Zhang San was impressed, "I really have to admire you, brother! Compared to you, my head is indeed only fit for a network administrator’s job!"

Zhen Yu chuckled, "You’re being too harsh on yourself, San! Wait another half a year, and you and Li Si will both be the bosses of Sincere Internet Cafe!"

Zhang San was startled, "What do you mean?!"

"Once the cafe’s business is on the right track, you and Li Si figure out how many machines you want to invest in. Together, we’ll make money!" Zhen Yu brought up the idea she had in mind all along, "At that time, you and Li Si will be the small shareholders of our cafe! Of course, your involvement will only be in profit sharing!"

"Ha ha! That’s more than enough! With you at the helm, Xiao Yu, all I and your Li Si can do is watch the shop. If we can share in the profits, we’ll be over the moon! Li Si’er will surely feel the same!"

"As long as you understand me, that’s great! I’ll head over there now, get back to work!" Zhen Yu gestured toward the counter.

"Yeah yeah, go on!"

-

"Mom, have you had dinner?" Zhen Yu asked knowingly.

"I’ve finished. Your Uncle Gu just cleaned up and left, not too long ago!"

"That’s good!" Zhen Yu cleared her throat, "I have something to tell you!"

Before Zhen Yu had finished speaking, Mrs. Zhen promptly asked, "The fuss you’re making with Xiaoqing?"

Zhen Yu’s good mood was instantly ruined, her face immediately darkened!

Her previously light-hearted voice turned icy cold, "Who’s the blabbermouth?"

Mrs. Zhen, perhaps living too comfortably lately, didn’t even notice that her daughter was truly angry, mistaking it for capriciousness! Unconcerned by her daughter’s words, she said: "Oh dear! What a trivial matter! Such young girls you all are, and yet, such big tempers! Listen to your mom, just smooth things over with a gentle word and explain, and all will be well! It’s just that you forgot to wait for her, right?"

"Did Gu Qing tell you?" Zhen Yu’s tone was chilling. Mrs. Zhen felt it odd but still couldn’t discern whether her daughter was genuinely angry or not. Without a second thought, she sold out Gu Qing, "Yes! She came to complain to me, and it took me a long time to console her!"

Zhen Yu clenched her teeth, forcibly suppressing her anger.

Stiffly she said, "Let’s not talk about her!! My brother’s partiality in subjects has become too serious, he has been staying away from home to save time recently! To allow him to catch up with his grades as much as possible! Give me the bankbook, tomorrow at noon I need to withdraw some money to send to him!"

"Ah..." Mrs. Zhen sighed, "Your brother’s grades at the end of the term really were quite something! It’s better that he doesn’t come home. You wait here, I’ll go get the passbook for you!"

Watching her mother ascend the stairs, the feigned calmness in Zhen Yu’s eyes immediately shattered and vanished!

Curling her lips into a sneer, Zhen Yu thought to herself: "Not bad at all! Complaining even to a pregnant woman! Endlessly claiming she wants a brother, she really does ’only want’ a brother! Since we can’t get along, it’s better to part ways! It’s just as well, thankfully I can get my hands on the software tonight or else I really wouldn’t know what to do with those two Gu family members!"

-

Zhen Yu joined the Gu family members for dinner as if nothing were wrong.

After finishing the meal, she didn’t linger, she rinsed her mouth and left immediately! She didn’t even bother to explain why Zhen Yan hadn’t come for dinner.

"Heh! Mother will tell them anyway!" With this thought in mind, Zhen Yu was already seated in the classroom before evening study time had even begun!

As soon as she sat down, she immediately contacted He Baihe!

"Senior He! Do you have the software?"

He Baihe: "Got it, got it! Come on, let’s complete the transaction first!"

As soon as she read this message, a trade box suddenly popped up in front of Zhen Yu!

Each item in the item column had very detailed descriptions, yet the money column was just two ordinary lines!

Universal Points: 150

Mall Points: 0

[Ding! He Baihe requests a trade with you, do you agree?]

"Yes!"

Zhen Yu was so excited she almost shouted!

[Ding! The trade has been completed! Item has been stored in your Storage Space, please check it yourself!]

"Thank you!"

He Baihe: "Have you thought about what else you might need? The technology on my side is much more advanced than yours!"

"...How much are LCD screens and mainframes? What about mobile phones and laptops?" Zhen Yu couldn’t resist the temptation and asked!

He Baihe: "Hehehe... It depends on how much you want! There are discounts for bulk!"

"I have no money!" Zhen Yu was really broke, so she had no choice but to think of an alternative!

"Senior He, don’t you have anything you want to buy from me? I can also give you a discount."

He Baihe: "Haha! Zhen Yu you are really cunning! You’ve instantly grasped the key point of trading!"
