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.
