"Fourth Brother, you and Third Brother know best about the situation at home! Zhen Yan has another year before the college entrance exams, and his target university is in the Capital! The same goes for me, so I will only stay in Qi City for another three years!" Upon hearing that the Zhen siblings would both leave Qi City in the future, Li Si’er was at a loss for words. "Qi City is so big! Even if we open one internet cafe a month, it will take at least three years or two to spread Sincere Internet Cafe across the entire city. Not to mention the computer money for each internet cafe has benefited greatly from your and Third Brother’s investments!" Li Si’er subconsciously found it hard to accept this statement. In his heart, internet cafes were truly lucrative! But this was indeed true! Without the forty thousand yuan from Zhang San and Li Si’s second round of investment spent on purchasing gold, Zhen Yu really couldn’t have managed to pay for an additional 50 computers! So Zhen Yu decisively said, "Yes! Internet cafes make money! But pre-opening investment is certainly not a small amount! Moreover, it’s not just about the money! The main point is my heart isn’t in it! I don’t plan to develop my future career in Qi City!" "Then are you planning to open an internet cafe in the Capital?!" Li Si’er guessed. "Exactly! People always strive for higher places! Since I have the opportunity in this lifetime, I must give it a try!" Zhen Yu’s words had a double meaning, and although Li Si’er couldn’t discern the hidden one, he could hear the passion in her words! Perhaps men are typically more passionate! After Li Si’er nodded earnestly, he gave Zhen Yu a thumbs up. "Ambitious!! Fourth Brother believes you can do it!" Zhen Yu pursed her lips in acceptance of his praise and brought the topic back to where it began. "I’ve made myself this clear, Fourth Brother, do you understand what I mean?" "I do!" Li Si replied solemnly, "I’ll discuss this with your Third Brother!" Realizing his resolve wasn’t very strong, Zhen Yu, with a spirit of ’seeing things through to the end’, sincerely urged Li Si again! "You both mustn’t hesitate! Remember! Opportunities don’t come by often, and once missed, they may never return!" "...Okay!" Li Si, although simple-minded, knew how to distinguish good from bad! He truly felt Zhen Yu’s concern. So, after nodding firmly, he said, "Xiao Yu, don’t worry! The only thing abundant in Zhang San’s and my family is idle people! Even if we do open an internet cafe, there are plenty of people to watch over the shop! Rest assured we absolutely won’t neglect this venture of yours!" Zhen Yu raised her arm and gave Li Si’er a firm pat on the shoulder, pulling the corner of her mouth as she said, "I’m at ease!! If you need to hire and train people in advance, just go ahead and recruit! First, let them be trained at Sincere Internet Cafe! But remember, while the work is done by me, I won’t handle the wages..." "Ha ha..." Li Si’er laughed heartily at her playful comment, as if he really saw his own internet cafe opening before his eyes, with firecrackers crackling loudly... Nearly a month since the new internet cafe’s opening, Zhen Yu’s budget was a gross profit of one hundred and twenty thousand yuan with a ten percent discount on a hundred computers! Yet the actual amount that ended up in her hands far exceeded this! Even though there was an opening week twenty percent discount for old members, the influx of new members was relentless! The prepaid funds were substantial indeed! Since the new internet cafe opened, Zhen Yu would visit the bustling district every Sunday, rain or shine. She moved from one department store to another, purchasing gold jewelry little by little. Li Si’er’s requested computers, Zhen Yu had already prepared them a long time ago, stored away in her Storage Space! The problem was she never found a convenient time to take them out! With Han Mingyue arriving in Qi City tomorrow and the internet cafe now in order, Zhen Yu simply waved her hand and told Li Si’er to finish up his daytime tasks and leave early! Li Si’er thought Zhen Yu was showing consideration for her subordinates and cheerfully agreed. Zhen Yu didn’t plan to spend the whole day in the cafe with him, so after delegating her tasks, she returned to her temporary residence to study. It wasn’t until the evening that Zhen Yu left the Han Family’s home alone. She had no choice! Zhen Yan was about to have his end-of-term exams and would only come back to accompany his sister after self-study at night. Zhen Yu, alone, didn’t bother to cook dinner, planning to eat out. Then she’d swing by the internet cafe to see if she could ’unload the cargo’. Walking under an umbrella in the drizzling rain, the dim streetlights cast an especially solitary shadow on Zhen Yu. Lu Huai saw this scene from afar and felt a chill in his heart. It had been a long time since he had spoken to Zhen Yu; ever since they stopped being desk-mates, they seemed to have an unspoken agreement to ignore each other. Preoccupied with her thoughts, Zhen Yu walked resolutely forward, oblivious to anything unusual around her. "Zhen Yu!" Hesitating any longer and she would walk far past him, Lu Huai finally called out. After the shout, he felt anxious, like a suspect awaiting a verdict. "?" Zhen Yu turned her head towards the source of the sound, recognizing the familiar arcade, the familiar person. Their eyes met, and Zhen Yu suddenly lifted the corner of her mouth slightly, "98? How about a game?" Even though the sky remained gloomy, Lu Huai suddenly felt a thrilling sense of clarity! What was promised to be one game turned into several rounds until they were both satisfied. "Zhen Yu, aren’t you angry with me anymore?" Lu Huai, after the last coin’s character fell, stopped playing and turned to look at Zhen Yu. Zhen Yu didn’t bother with her remaining characters, turning to face Lu Huai with calm, "I wasn’t angry since that day." Lu Huai’s eyes widened, "Then why haven’t you spoken to me all this time?!" Zhen Yu looked innocent, "You did the same." "How can it be the same?!" Lu Huai said indignantly, "You were the one who was angry with me! What if I talked to you and you ignored me?!" "You indeed wouldn’t get a response." Zhen Yu honestly nodded her head. "!!" Lu Huai gasped, "What on earth are you thinking?!" "Avoiding suspicion." "I! Cheez, cheez, cheez, cheez! I’m really defeated by you!" Lu Huai was at a loss for words, "So you mean you’re talking to me today only because you no longer need to go to the Affiliated School?!" Zhen Yu felt this explanation worked, so she simply agreed. Lu Huai earnestly scratched his head, decisively confessing, "I’m telling you, Zhen Yu! I’ve been feeling guilty for over a month, unable to eat or sleep properly! Even my middle school exams got messed up! If I don’t make it into First High School, I will harass you every day!" "I don’t believe you one bit!"
