Three days later, Xintiandi Internet Cafe.
"Zelin, what are you doing?"
Lu Haoran stared at the three large white pears in front of him in a daze.
Today he and Su Zelin made an appointment to go online again. As soon as they arrived at the Internet cafe, Su Zelin insisted on paying for him to turn on the computer, and even bought three large white pears at once, which stunned the honest man.
"It's hot, and computers emit a lot of radiation, so I need to drink a lot of water!"
Su Zelin explained casually.
"But I'm not thirsty. I just came out from home after drinking a full glass of water."
Lu Haoran scratched his head.
"It's okay, just drink it slowly. Anyway, I've already bought it and opened the lid, so I can't return it!"
Su Zelin stretched his shoulders.
"oh!"
Lu Haoran had no choice but to accept it, but he still felt a little strange in his heart.
I don’t know if it’s my illusion, but I always feel like Zelin has done something wrong and wants to make up for it.
Maybe he took me to see that kind of thing a few days ago and was discovered by Xiaoyanzi, and he felt bad about it, but Zelin didn't like to apologize, so he apologized in this way.
Unfortunately, the honest people misunderstood.
Su Zelin just used his best friend as an excuse to reject Huang Panpan a few days ago, and he felt bad about it, so he invited him to drink three bottles of Big White Pear.
As for teaching Lu Haoran science with an attitude of observation and learning, Su Zelin did not feel guilty at all. Instead, he thought he had done a good thing and saved a young man who might go astray in the future.
He quickly logged into the Windows 98 interface. After the last training, Lu Haoran had already learned the basic Internet operations. Surfing the Internet and chatting on QQ were no longer a problem for him. There was no need to teach him anymore, so Su Zelin just played by himself.
I put on my big headphones, turned on Winamp, and played a song called "I, the One You Don't Love", one of the most popular songs of the year.
…
The phone rang in the dark of the night
I guess it's you who didn't sleep.
Maybe it broke your heart
Maybe you doubt its feelings
This caused us to separate
Too much love gathered at one time**
Too many people let go and act willfully for a moment
Who really knows themselves
Who has really asked themselves
What kind of people do you need to meet
Together
I am the person you don't love
Still single
Standing outside the door of love, holding on again and again
Why do you have to knock on the door of my uneasy heart
…
Hearing Dick Cowboy's unique, almost hysterical, hoarse voice, Su Zelin lit a Liqun cigarette and blew out a smoke ring leisurely. At the same time, he opened the browser and downloaded Great Wisdom, which was also what he had to do every day.
In fact, there was already online stock trading software in China in the 1990s. The first one was introduced from India, called Analyst, and was later acquired by Dazhihui.
In addition there are Qianlong, Feihu, Tongxunda and so on.
At the beginning, you could just look at the market, but in the late 1990s, you could trade online. However, the monthly fee was 60 yuan, which was not cheap at that time. Many people didn’t even know how to use a computer, so most people went directly to the trading hall or placed orders by phone.
Someone like Su Zelin who has been reborn certainly won't use such an outdated way of stock trading by phone. He must be at the forefront of the times.
The system will be restored every time the Internet cafe user logs off, so this software has to be downloaded every day.
After a while, it was downloaded, installed and logged in.
Then, Su Zelin's eyes lit up.
There is movement in Shenghai Merlin, which has been calm these days!
After the market opened today, the stock suddenly soared.
Su Zelin calculated the date and it was already the 22nd in late July.
Hey, it’s started!
I have taken the first solid step towards becoming a 100,000 yuan household!
Su Zelin was in a good mood and couldn't help but whistle.
This attracted the attention of Lu Haoran, who was standing by. The honest man glanced at the screen and asked curiously, "Zelin, what are you playing? Why are there so many curves of different colors? What kind of game is this?"
The majority of people in Internet cafes are gamers. Since my deskmate is so avant-garde, he must be playing games.
"Yes, it's a game, a wealth game, quite exciting, hehe!"
Su Zelin smiled and didn't explain much.
Lu Haoran probably doesn't even know anything about stocks at this moment, so it's useless to explain.
"Why is your game so dull? I can't understand it at all!"
The cutie was puzzled.
Other people’s games involve people, tanks, planes, cannons, or even playing cards, but Su Zelin’s is different.
"This is a high-end game that most people don't play."
Su Zelin said with a toast.
“Oh, I see!”
The honest man looked at it for a while, but couldn't figure out what was going on, so he turned his attention back to his own machine.
Looking at the avatar of the girl with short purple hair on the friend interface, he felt a little worried.
I hope Xiaoyanzi will come online, but I am also worried that she will bring up the embarrassing incident last time.
Lu Haoran was thinking about this.
“Knock knock knock…”
The knock on the door sounded, and then the avatar of a girl with short purple hair lit up.
It’s true that when you mention Cao Cao, he will appear.
"Zelin, Xiaoyanzi is online!"
Lu Haoran became nervous.
"Just go online. Can she crawl over through the network cable and eat you?"
Su Zelin paid attention to the market trends on the screen and responded casually.
"I made her angry last time, how should we talk about this?"
Lu Haoran asked.
"Last time?"
It took Su Zelin a few seconds to remember.
Lu Haoran was talking about the necessary popular science knowledge.
If his friend hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have noticed.
"Hey, Mouse, it's been so long now, Xiaoyanzi must have forgotten about it a long time ago, why are you so worried?"
Su Zelin smiled.
"It's not that easy. Xiaoyanzi must hate me. Look, she didn't even send me a message!"
Lu Haoran was uneasy.
"Maybe she's surfing the Internet or playing chess and cards and doesn't have time to spare. Not everyone likes to chat on QQ when they're online. Besides, it's not like you didn't send her a message, right?"
Su Zelin rolled his eyes and thought to himself, you really like to have wild thoughts.
"No matter what, I still need to apologize to Xiaoyanzi!"
Lu Haoran made up his mind.
"No, you mustn't!"
Su Zelin quickly stopped him.
"This kind of thing will only make things worse. Maybe Xiaoyanzi has almost forgotten about it by now. If you keep bringing it up, won't you just give her the opportunity to get angry?"
"Then what should I do?"
Lu Haoran was at a loss.
Su Zelin thought to himself that with my skills, if I can't make her happy within two minutes, I lose!
However, helping Haozi in this way is not a solution, because Xiaoyanzi can see at a glance that he cannot be so arrogant. Instead, he finds a ghost, which may backfire.
He groaned for a moment and said, "Well, anyway, this matter must never be mentioned. Never mention it. How about this? You can just ask her out for milk tea. In fact, it is equivalent to an apology!"
"I'm dating Xiaoyanzi?"
Lu Haoran stammered, "Zelin, is this okay? Will she misunderstand?"
"Isn't it normal for friends to drink milk tea? What's the misunderstanding?"
Su Zelin curled his lips.
"Khan, fine then, I'll make the appointment, but Zelin, you have to go with me!"
Lu Haoran wouldn't have the courage to date Tang Yan alone, even if he was beaten to death.
Su Zelin felt a little dizzy. He didn't want to be a light bulb.
He criticized her earnestly, "Haozi, you don't even have the courage to ask a female classmate out for milk tea. How are you going to find a girlfriend when you go to college? You can't always rely on others like this. You have to be strong yourself!"
"Next time, let's talk about it next time. You are also a party involved this time, so you have to go with me."
Lu Haoran found a reason.
Su Zelin thought to himself, I am nothing but a person involved. I am just observing and learning. Why do you make me act like I have done something against the law
"By the way, let's ask Qin Shiqing to come. If Xiaoyanzi is a girl, she might not be willing to do so."
Lu Haoran added another sentence.
"Okay, okay, okay, whatever you say is fine!"
Su Zelin said impatiently.
"How about we make an appointment now?"
Being discovered by Xiaoyanzi that he and his deskmate were watching bad things in the Internet cafe became a thorn in Lu Haoran's heart, and he wanted to solve the problem as soon as possible.
"Mouse, you are stupid!"
Su Zelin ruthlessly rejected his proposal: "Xiaoyanzi has just come online and is in a good mood. It's not easy for her to be rejected if you ask her out now. You have to wait until she is about to get off the computer. By then, she will have nothing to do and will be bored. The chances of her agreeing to you will be higher!"
"Yes, yes, Zelin, you are the one who has thought it through!"
Lu Haoran admired him very much.
Interpersonal relationships are a science. I am far behind my best friends in this area and need to learn more.
Su Zelin added, "I've seen Xiaoyanzi a few times on the Internet. She usually only stays online for an hour, so you can calculate the time and make an appointment with her in fifty minutes from now."
“That makes sense!”
Lu Haoran immediately borrowed a pen and a small piece of paper from the network administrator and wrote down the current time, which left Su Zelin speechless.
Afterwards, under his guidance, Lu Haoran and Tang Yan started chatting intermittently.
However, Xiaoyanzi took a long time to reply.
Su Zelin could tell that she was not busy, but was deliberately ignoring Lu Haoran.
He was puzzled.
People like me have long been labeled as bad students. Others think it is normal for me to watch educational films and no one takes it seriously.
If you accidentally do something good, you may even get all kinds of praise from others.
On the contrary, if an honest man like Lu Haoran does something slightly out of line, even if it's not considered a bad deed, he will be looked at strangely as if it is an unforgivable sin.
So, it’s better to be a scumbag!
So Su Zelin decided on the spot that he would continue to be a scumbag for the next fifty years.
Lu Haoran was restless, suffering every minute and every second. He finally waited for fifty minutes. Perhaps because he felt Xiaoyanzi's indifference, the courage he had mustered was gone.
"Ze, Zelin, why don't you make the appointment for me? You're better at talking. If I ask Xiaoyanzi out, she will definitely reject me!"
"Mouse, you've been holding it in for so long, but you suddenly become impotent at the critical moment. What's going on?"
Su Zelin was angry that he did not fight back.
"You make the appointment this time, and I'll come next time, next time."
Lu Haoran laughed dryly.
"Next time, next time, there will be so many next times. If you wait for next time, your chances of picking up girls will be wasted!"
Su Zelin kept shaking his head, and suddenly he was inspired to compose a limerick.
