Chapter 20: : Make a small profit

9 min read2,255 words

Boss Wu has all together about 70 machines. Although he only bought a one-

month trial, Xia Ye made a lot of money.

It is still an era of expensive Internet access, and Internet cafes are also

emerging. Boss Wu here is equivalent to working for Xia Ye for half an hour

for each computer, and the management fee is more than one piece a day. After

Boss Wu paid the money, it was a bit painful, but he soon felt the benefits of

the new charging software for Internet cafes.

Wu Yicheng can just sit at the front counter and collect the money. When

someone comes to register, he no longer has to run upstairs and downstairs.

After he has free time, he will follow the example of other Internet cafes and

place a little on the counter. Mineral water and snacks are on sale. There are

also many people who buy these things, especially mineral water, which is in

high demand, and his purchase price is cheap, and he can sell a lot every day!

And after using this charging software, his accounts are also very clear.

Boss Wu wanted to hire two people before, but hiring people usually have to

cover board and lodging, and the mobility of people (sexual sex) is also high.

If you have more access to cash, it will always cause some trouble. But now

it's okay, he doesn't have to worry about this at all, more than 3,000 yuan

can solve so many things, it is a good deal!

Xia Ye said that this is called the administrator, which is the name on the

forum, but the term "Internet cafe administrator" is still a bit longer, and

everyone slowly began to call "network administrator".

Boss Wu happily accepted the title, sometimes feeling quite proud.

He is also a technician now, (fuck cao) the management software of the entire

Internet cafe!

Boss Wu’s Internet cafe is unique and quickly attracted a lot of people. When

everyone saw the set of registration numbers on the counter, they felt that

they were more formal than others, plus there were more machines. Hupeng

Anyone who calls friends can find a place, and they all love to come to

Longteng Internet Cafe.

Boss Wu made a small note for this, and he became more attentive when seeing

Xia Ye.

Longteng Internet cafes are booming, and other families are also greedy.

Xiao Wu and Wu Yicheng, the owner of the Xinyi Internet Cafe in the downtown

area, are considered to be their own families. They got in touch with

relatives and ran over to take a look. He saw Wu Yicheng sitting at the

counter facing a computer, leaning on the leather boss chair while watching a

movie while easily collecting money, his eyes were full of envy.

"Cousin, you are really good at doing this, where did you get this set?"

Wu Yicheng didn't hide it from him, "Xia Ye did it, this kid is good at it!"

Boss Xiao Wu looked envious, and rubbed his hands: "Can I learn from you and

get such a set when I go back? Cousin, don't worry, we will not be next to

each other and we won't be able to grab business."

Wu Yicheng and him are also distant relatives, but as the saying goes, distant

relatives are not as good as neighbors. What's more, Xiao Wu’s boss shouted

one cousin one by one, and he nodded and said: "You can do it, this charging

system is not mine. , It’s from Xia Ye. I created a membership from him and

charges a monthly fee. If something goes wrong, Xia Ye said about the

warranty."

Boss Xiao Wu asked again: "How much is it?"

"50 yuan a month for a machine."

Boss Xiao Wu calculated it and felt that the deal was a good deal, which was

equivalent to taking out the income of a computer for the entire month. He has

20 or 30 computers. Now there are so many people and the business is booming.

He still wants to enter again next month. More than a dozen computers, you can

do it!

Wu Yicheng helped him contact Xia Ye.

Soon, Xinyi Internet Cafe also set up a charging system. The boss Xiao Wu also

specially modified the counter. He was not willing to buy a big boss chair. He

only bought a small swivel chair. A computer registration was placed in front

of him. The shelves are almost like a simple commissary, and I really haven't

let go of the opportunity to make money. He also hung up the menus of two or

three night market stalls nearby at the door, and he could help order meals

and barbecue.

When Xia Ye went to the Xinyi Internet Cafe, Xiao Wu’s boss enthusiastically

wanted to order food for him, “You’re busy, I’ll order Lao Liu fried rice

downstairs for you at noon. This restaurant is delicious, and I let him serve

you a double portion. The beef (meat rou)!"

Xia Ye wore a mask and shook his head and said, "No, I have eaten it."

Boss Xiao Wu was very enthusiastic. He brought two more bottles of drinks and

put them next to Xia Ye. He moved a chair to see him make these, but the

characters scrolled on the screen and there were very few Chinese characters,

so he couldn't understand it at all. Gan) Turn around and chat with Xia Ye.

"Xiaoxia, did you eat in the school cafeteria at noon?"

"Ok."

"You are still a student, so there will be so many. Now the offspring is

really amazing, knowing better than we did at that time!" Xiao Wu boss is keen

on gossip, and the person who looks at Xia Ye is even more curious, "How old

are you? ?"

Xia Ye lazily said: "Eighteen."

Boss Xiao Wu was taken aback, and he was a little confused, obviously not

convinced.

"Then I will be seventeen and a half years old, and my birthday will be in a

few months."

Boss Xiao Wu: "???"

Xia Ye: "Sixteen, I really can't be less. It's illegal to work under this

age."

Xiao Wu's boss is listening, and he can negotiate at the age of love.

However, he was very interesting. If Xia Ye didn't say anything, he didn't

ask. He guessed in his heart that he might be a high school student just like

Xiao Han who used to visit him on the weekend.

Xia Ye set it up for him, and took Xiao Wu to try it out. He was afraid that

he would forget the steps, so he took the pen and paper to write it down step

by step. After seeing that he could do it proficiently, he nodded and said:

"Basic That's it. If you have anything to do, call Angkor and let me know.

I'll come over if I take the time."

Boss Xiao Wu agreed, and ordered him two thousand yuan. Looking at Xia Ye, he

couldn't help but said with emotion: "Xia Xia, when I was this age, I didn't

have such a skill. Your parents can follow you to enjoy the blessing. ."

Xia Ye's action of collecting the money paused, but did not respond, and then

left after saying goodbye to him politely.

There was still class in the afternoon. On the way back to school, Xia Ye

pulled the mask to his chin and breathed a few breaths of fresh air. The smell

of smoke gradually disappeared from the tip of his nose. He had two thousand

dollars in his arms, but he didn't have much joy. The money was far from

enough for him.

His dad’s (body shen) is not in good health, so it’s not advisable for him to

do the surgery sooner or later. He also needs money for studying. In the

future, he may not go too far when he is admitted to the university, or he may

take his dad to live in a bigger city. ...

Xia Ye took a deep breath and slowly pressed those things back into his heart.

In fact, his father didn't know that he came to work in an Internet cafe.

Don’t know.

Just entering April, the weather in the northern town was still cold, except

for a few buds that emerged from the willow trees by the lake, and the

surrounding area was dusty.

Xia Ye rode his bike all the way to the school against the wind, dropped the

bike and trot into the teaching building, almost hitting the class teacher

when he almost stepped into the classroom on the bell. Both of them stood at

the door, and Xia Ye shouted: "Report!"

The head teacher stood at the door and looked at him, gan gan) what happened,

why was it almost late?"

Xia Ye didn't change (color) and said, "Uncle Tang helped me correct the wrong

question at home."

The head teacher immediately nodded to Yan Yue (color) and said, "It's all

right to work so hard, go back to your seat, try to be as early as possible

next time, don't make Mr. Tang tired, you know?"

"Yes!"

Tongzilou, Tang Family.

Tang Jinyu is playing the piano at home. He can play a complete nursery rhyme

today, and his posture is quite standardized. Teacher Xia, who was next to his

last note, immediately stood up and applauded him, happier than him.

Teacher Xia said: "Xiaoyu performed very well today. We end class early. How

about the teacher taking you to shoot the ball?"

The kid sitting on the piano bench with his feet half-floating, tilted his

head and thought for a while and said, "I don't want to play."

Teacher Xia asked, "So what does Xiaoyu want to do?"

Tang Jinyu: "I want to go to my teacher's house to learn harmonica~"

Teacher Xia was particularly moved. He felt that the child was so hardworking

and serious. He used to hug the child down the bench and originally planned to

put it on the sofa, but the child subconsciously hugged his neck with his

hands and looked over with his big eyes open. Teacher Xia was reluctant to put

it down immediately, and kept holding him to the next door, smiling while

walking: "Let’s combine work and rest, can’t keep learning, right? The teacher

will play with you for a while and tell you a story. it is good?"

Tang Jinyu shook his head: "I want to learn the piano."

"I like harmonica so much?"

"Brother said..."

"Say you played well, right?"

"It's ugly."

"..."

"Don't listen to him talking nonsense, we Xiaoyu play a lot better than him.

He didn't have any appreciation in the preliminary rounds of elementary

school. This person is not happy!"

But anyway, Teacher Xia was not as good as Xia Ye's words for coaxing a day.

Tang Jinyu decided to study hard and played the harmonica for an afternoon.

In the evening, Xia Ye went home from school. Before entering the door, he

heard a few clear harmonica sounds at home.

Tang Jinyu was sitting on the sofa in the living room. She was very happy to

see Xia Ye coming in. He dropped the harmonica and ran over, "Brother!"

Xia Ye was holding his leg by him, and before he could speak, he saw the child

sniffed twice like a puppy with wrinkled nose.

Xia Ye held his back collar silently, and lifted the child up and put it aside

on the sofa.

Tang Jinyu didn't understand what she meant, so she climbed down from the sofa

and wanted to go over. This time Xia Ye stepped back, as if hiding from him.

His "dislike" was so obvious that Teacher Xia couldn't pass it anymore, "Hold

him!"

Xia Ye paused and said vaguely: "Next time, I was sweating and dirty playing

basketball."

He took a change of clothes and took a shower, and walked quickly.

Teacher Xia felt sorry for Tang Jinyu, so she held it and sent it to the next

door. When the child asked if she could come and eat an orange at night,

Teacher Xia repeatedly agreed.

Xia Ye took a shower, changed clothes, and came out. The food at home was also

ready. He glanced at the living room, and the little figure on the sofa was

gone.

Teacher Xia brought the food and couldn't help but laugh at him: "It's late,

Xiaoyu is back."

Xia Ye went to help. Teacher Xia was still talking about him. Xia Ye

whispered: "I don't dislike him, Xiaoyu is very funny, but it's too soft, and

it feels bad when I stumble."

Teacher Xia laughed and shook his head and said: "Nonsense, wherever you go,

you will break up. You were the same size when you were young. You slowly grow

taller."

Probably yesterday I refused to hug the child. For a few days, the child was

so behaved and didn't take the initiative to jump over and hug his legs.

On the contrary, Xia Ye feels a little uncomfortable. He lacks a leg pendant.

It seems that the two of them are not so close. When there is no smell of

cigarettes on his body, he will pick up and tease the child, but the children

are honest. In his arms, if it weren't for the sweet smile, he thought the

child was alien to him.

Xia Ye owed something in her heart and wanted to do something.
