Chapter 22

(Thank you to the book friend "♂Feiyu" for your generous support, I bow! During the new book period, every bit of support from everyone is extremely important to Wei Yu Qian Xiao, I'm rolling on the ground begging for support!)

Chen Mo picked up the tools and began to disassemble the computer hard drive. The female teacher, seeing the hard drive that was burned halfway, couldn't help but ask softly, "Master, burned like this... can you really retrieve the files inside?"

Chen Mo, hearing this, replied while working, "I can't guarantee it will work, but I can try my luck."

The female teacher asked nervously, "How do you plan to try your luck?"

Chen Mo replied solemnly, "Let me give you an analogy. A computer hard drive is like a bucket of water. If the top half of the bucket is burned, the water in the top half will leak out, but the water in the bottom half will still be there. If your files are stored in the bottom half, I can retrieve them for you. If they are stored in the top half, they are definitely lost."

The female teacher, hearing this, widened her eyes and said, "What? It can actually be like that! Last time, Teacher Li's hard drive was also burned, and all the files stored on it were lost. If I had met you earlier, he might not have been so heartbroken."

Chen Mo paused for a moment, then looked up at the female teacher and asked curiously, "Sister, didn't you know this method?"

The female teacher replied frankly, "We really didn't know. We only teach software knowledge, and we are not very familiar with hardware. If there's a software issue, we can solve it ourselves, but if there's a hardware issue, we can only seek help from repair technicians."

Chen Mo was slightly stunned, then laughed, "Oh, I see."

Chen Mo had thought that university computer teachers were very capable. When he heard this woman introduce herself as a teacher in the university's computer department, he wanted to ask why she didn't solve the problem herself. Now it seemed that university computer teachers were not omnipotent.

After disassembling the hard drive, Chen Mo carefully examined it. After a while, he began to remove the burned part of the hard drive and then started connecting wires to the remaining part.

The female teacher watched intently, not daring to interrupt. After about five minutes, Chen Mo finished connecting the wires. The female teacher, looking at the oddly shaped hard drive in his hand, couldn't help but ask, "Master, will this really work?"

Chen Mo smiled slightly and said, "Let's try and see. Wait a moment, and I'll connect these wires to a good computer to see the result."

The female teacher nodded. Chen Mo opened the case of a computer in the store and worked for about three more minutes before finishing the connections. He then took a deep breath and pressed the power button of the computer.

With a "buzz," the computer started running. After about a minute, it finally booted up. Chen Mo then opened the computer's file explorer, which showed two storage drives. One drive contained the operating system, and the other contained files.

Chen Mo directly opened the file storage drive and then clicked on a folder with a question mark, saying to the female teacher, "Sister, you can look for your file yourself. See if it's still there."

The female teacher nodded nervously and began searching. Less than twenty seconds later, she suddenly shouted, "I found it! It's really in there! Thank goodness!"

Seeing her overjoyed expression, Chen Mo couldn't help but laugh. He thought to himself, "Sister, don't forget to give me the 50,000 yuan."

The female teacher didn't have a USB drive, so she had to buy one in the store. After transferring the files to the new USB drive, she thanked Chen Mo repeatedly, saying, "Master, thank you so much! I'll bring the money to you once I receive it!"

Chen Mo immediately said, "Sister, don't give me the money directly in the store. It's better to give it to me outside."

The female teacher asked curiously, "Why?"

Chen Mo explained with a smile, "I'm just an employee. If the boss sees you giving me so much money, what will he think? It's like taking on private work, which isn't good if the school finds out."

The female teacher finally understood and nodded with a smile, "Alright, I'll do it your way. By the way—"

She then took out a document from her pocket and handed it to Chen Mo, saying, "This is my teacher's certificate. You can keep it as collateral until I give you the money."

Chen Mo nodded, took the certificate, and looked at it. He then smiled, "So your name is Tian Tian. That's a great name. Unlike me, Chen Mo, which sounds funny."

Chen Mo was introducing himself. Tian Tian smiled and said, "A name is just a label. It doesn't matter what it is. Chen Mo, can this computer be repaired?"

As she spoke, she turned to look at the computer she had brought. Chen Mo nodded and said, "Of course it can be repaired, but it will be expensive, and even if it's fixed, the future failure rate will be high. As a professional, I think it would be more cost-effective for you to buy a new computer."

Tian Tian nodded and said, "I'll take your advice and buy a new one."

Tian Tian then took out a stack of cash from her bag. Chen Mo glanced at it and knew it was definitely no less than 5,000 yuan. He couldn't help but ask, "Sister Tian, your family must be quite wealthy. Why were you worried about being fired from the school?"

Tian Tian smiled and explained, "My father has always hoped I would help in his company, but I'm only interested in teaching. I've been putting it off for years. If I get fired from the school, I won't have any more excuses."

Chen Mo was slightly stunned and then laughed, "Sister Tian, you really have a strong personality—our store has many brands. What brand do you want to buy?"

Tian Tian smiled and pointed to her computer, "I'll buy the same brand as this one."

The computer she brought was a Great Wall brand, a domestic brand with average performance and quality. Chen Mo thought that since she was so wealthy, she should buy a better computer. He smiled and said, "Sister Tian, I think this HP computer is better. Although it's more expensive, you are a university computer teacher, and a better-performing computer would be more suitable."

Tian Tian smiled and said, "The Great Wall computer is produced by my father's company. As his daughter, I should support his company."

Chen Mo was completely stunned. After a moment, he stammered, "Sister Tian... your father is the owner of Great Wall Computer..."

Tian Tian smiled slightly and said, "Not exactly. He is just a major shareholder in Great Wall Computer Company."
