Since Chen Mo had already completed the video editing software, he was able to produce the video quite quickly. It took him less than an hour to create a satisfactory work. The next step was to dub the video, which required professional equipment. It seemed he would have to wait until after work to ask Tian Tian for help.

Business was slow today, with hardly any customers on the entire street. Bored, Chen Mo entered the hacker technology learning website to try to improve his skills.

When Chen Mo saw the message from the beautiful master, he was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed, "Isn't this just robbing people? How can the tuition be so expensive!"

Chen Mo calculated the tuition fee based on the charging rules provided by the beautiful master and quickly realized that learning hacking techniques would cost 14,000 yuan. He already thought 4,000 yuan was a bit high, and now it had tripled. This was very hard for Chen Mo to accept. Even though he earned money quickly, he couldn't spend it like this, could he?

He sat in a daze for a while, then replied, "Beautiful master, do you have to be so ruthless! 14,000 yuan for tuition is too expensive! Even university doesn't cost this much! For someone who just graduated from junior high school, this is really unaffordable. Can you lower the price a bit?"

Li Ranzhu was chatting with some old acquaintances. They were discussing the hacker competition, and everyone showed great admiration for the mysterious Chinese hacker expert.

Just as Li Ranzhu was enjoying the conversation, Chen Mo's message arrived. She opened the chat window and read it, then said disdainfully, "This guy is just pretending again. I wonder if he's just bored and looking for someone to entertain him."

Although she said this, she typed, "You get what you pay for, right? The master's skills aren't free. I paid a lot to learn hacking techniques from others in the past. I can't treat you differently, can I?"

Li Ranzhu still hadn't given up on the idea of making money. Chen Mo read her message, thought for a moment, and then typed, "Beautiful master, can I just learn from you? I'll skip the other masters. Is that okay?"

Li Ranzhu immediately thought, "What's this guy's real intention? It looks like he's stuck to me. Could it be that he not only wants to entertain himself but also... wants to take advantage of me?"

The more she thought about it, the more she despised Chen Mo. She said irritably, "What a despicable man! If you want to take advantage of me, don't blame me for taking your money!"

Just as she finished speaking, Chen Mo sent a new message: "Beautiful master, only you and I know about this. If I give you the money, and you don't tell anyone else, who would know?"

Li Ranzhu chuckled and replied, "Alright, then transfer the money to the master first."

Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief and typed, "Okay, I'll transfer the money to your account when I have time. The master can start teaching after receiving the money."

Li Ranzhu only replied with one word: "Okay."

Then both of them logged out of the website. Li Ranzhu continued chatting with her hacker friends, while Chen Mo leaned back in his recliner and dozed off. There were no customers all afternoon, and Chen Mo slept soundly.

At six o'clock in the evening, Tian Tian, dressed in a black long dress, drove up to the shop. Seeing Chen Mo sleeping inside, she smiled and stayed in the car. After about half an hour, Chen Mo finally woke up. Seeing this, Tian Tian got out of the car and walked into the shop.

Seeing Tian Tian come in, Chen Mo rubbed his eyes and smiled, "Sister Tian, you look really beautiful today."

Tian Tian, who was already very pretty, looked even more elegant in a black long dress. She smiled and said, "Thank you, Master Chen. Have you had dinner yet? Why don't we go eat something first?"

Chen Mo's stomach was indeed a bit hungry. He nodded and said, "Okay, let's go eat something first, then we can dub the video."

Tian Tian was surprised and asked, "Master Chen, the video is already done?"

Chen Mo smiled and said, "Yes, I finished it this morning."

Chen Mo saved the video to a hard drive, locked the shop, and got into Tian Tian's car. It was a black Passat, and it was the first time Chen Mo had ever been in a car. He was very curious, constantly turning his head to look around and asking about the functions of the car's buttons.

Tian Tian patiently explained the functions of the car's instruments to Chen Mo. As they listened, they soon arrived at a restaurant. Before the car had even stopped, Chen Mo said, "Sister Tian, you don't want to eat here, do you?"

Tian Tian smiled and nodded, "Yes, this is my master's banquet. If I don't treat the master well, how can I make the master willing to take me as a disciple?"

Chen Mo found this somewhat amusing. He himself needed to pay to learn computer technology, and Tian Tian, a university computer teacher, insisted on becoming his disciple. If others knew, they would probably laugh their heads off.

Originally, Chen Mo wanted to refuse, but seeing Tian Tian's persistence, he nodded and said, "Since Sister Tian looks up to me so much, I'll agree. But let's make it clear: if my skills aren't good enough, you can't blame me."

Tian Tian had already considered Chen Mo a computer expert. Hearing this, she said happily, "Master, rest assured, I will never blame you!"

Chen Mo couldn't help but laugh to himself: Now I not only have a beautiful master but also a beautiful disciple. It's hard to believe.

The two got out of the car and entered the restaurant. Tian Tian directly booked a private room and ordered a full table of dishes. As they ate and chatted, Chen Mo suggested, "Sister Tian, you're much older than me and a university computer teacher. Calling me 'master' in public isn't good. We don't need to be so formal. I think you should just call me Xiao Chen or Xiao Mo, which would be more appropriate."

Tian Tian thought this was a good idea and nodded with a smile, "Alright, I'll call you Xiao Mo from now on. I've said that I won't let you work for free. If you have any thoughts on the tuition, just let me know, and I'll make sure you're satisfied."

Hearing this, Chen Mo couldn't help but think of the high tuition the beautiful master had asked for. He thought to himself: This is great. The beautiful master asks me for tuition, and the beautiful disciple helps me solve the tuition problem. I must be really lucky!

Thinking about this, Chen Mo pretended to ponder for a moment before saying, "Sister Tian, to be honest, according to the industry standards, each master charges 4,000 yuan for a disciple. I also paid to learn. What do you think of this price?" (A great event with cool prizes, including smartphones!
