### Chapter 3: Future Plans

"Xiaofeng, just now my mom was a bit..." Huang Shuqi thought for a long time, unsure how to describe it, and then said, "Don't blame my mom."

"Eh, it's fine, Aunt Huang is just worried about your studies!" Lin Feng wouldn't dare to blame Aunt Huang. Her temper and personality were such that Lin Feng would rather avoid her than provoke her.

"Hehe, I knew you were the best, Xiaofeng." Huang Shuqi's face lit up with two bright dimples. "By the way, Xiaofeng, the school has started a basic computer course, but I don't have a computer at home. Can I come over to learn how to use it? Just for a little while."

Huang Shuqi used her two fingers to indicate, "Just for a little while, it won't affect you at all."

For Huang Shuqi's request, Lin Feng believed no man would refuse. A girl in her prime, young and lovely, wanting to come to your place to learn how to use a computer, who would say no?

Just as Lin Feng was about to agree, a terrifying voice boomed from downstairs.

"Huang Shuqi~~~ Where did you run off to, you brat?" Aunt Huang's voice shook the entire building. "If you don't come back to study, I'll beat you to death when I catch you."

Huang Shuqi was so scared that she trembled all over and quickly ran downstairs. "I'm coming, Mom, I'm here."

"Where~~~" Aunt Huang's voice was like a roar, and Lin Feng instinctively retreated into the house, wanting to close the door. Aunt Huang was too scary; it was best not to provoke her.

"Wait, wait." A delicate hand pushed against the door.

"Huff, huff, Xiaofeng, here, this is your birthday gift. It's a day late, don't be upset." Huang Shuqi, out of breath, handed Lin Feng something.

"Huang~~~ Shu~~~ Qi!!!" The roar from downstairs grew even louder, and Lin Feng felt the entire door trembling.

"I'm coming~~~" Huang Shuqi stuck out her tongue at Lin Feng and loudly responded to her mother's call.

"You brat, I told you not to go upstairs. What are you doing up there!" Aunt Huang's anger grew even more when she saw Huang Shuqi coming down. She slammed the iron door shut.

"Mom~~, I just wanted to learn how to use the computer from Xiaofeng..." Huang Shuqi's words were cut off by Aunt Huang's rough interruption.

"Learn what computer nonsense. Look at him, he only failed to get into college because he bought a computer. I'm telling you, you must study at home from now on. Don't go upstairs again, or I'll break your legs." Aunt Huang slammed the door shut, but her thunderous voice still echoed through the thick door to Lin Feng's ears.

"Mom~~~"

"Go study now!!!"

"Okay~~~"

Aunt Huang's scolding made Lin Feng feel embarrassed, but she wasn't wrong. In his memory, his grades had always been good, but after his father bought him a computer for his studies, his grades steadily declined, and he ultimately failed the college entrance exam. The main reason, 90% of it, was the computer.

Addiction to play! — This was Lin Feng's only evaluation of his past life. Fortunately, heaven had given him a second chance. This time, he would not let himself be distracted by play.

By the way, I wonder what Shuqi gave me as a birthday gift. — Lin Feng slowly opened his palm, and a cute clay figurine appeared before his eyes.

Lin Feng took a closer look and immediately smiled. The clay figurine was a cartoon version of himself, more adorable and funnier than the real Lin Feng.

This little girl! — Lin Feng smiled inwardly, feeling a warm sensation in his chest.

After the commotion caused by Huang Shuqi and her mother, Lin Feng had fully accepted the fact of his rebirth. But an unavoidable question arose: how should he live his life after being reborn?

How should I live this life? Should I continue to go to work, come home, play games, and sleep until my father falls ill again? — No, absolutely not!

Lin Feng clenched his fists tightly. Before his rebirth, he could only watch helplessly as his father suffered in bed, unable to do anything. Now, heaven had given him a second chance, and he would not let his father go through the same ordeal again.

Moreover, after his father's paralysis, the ugly faces of the people around him had made Lin Feng furious. He felt like a plague god, and no matter which house he visited, even just for a polite visit during the holidays, he would receive cold looks and suspicion, as if he had come to borrow money. This feeling of being guarded and despised made Lin Feng extremely angry, but also more helpless.

No, I, Lin Feng, will never let anyone look down on me again in this life! I will start all over again and live a life of dignity.

In this world, to be respected and not be looked down upon, one must have money. A man without money cannot stand tall. — But how can I make money now? — Lin Feng fell into deep thought.

Lin Feng continuously assessed his advantages and realized that although he had been reborn, he was no different from his 10-year-old self. Apart from passing the CET-4 and obtaining a diploma in English, there was nothing else.

The current Lin Feng worked at a printing factory as a binder, earning a monthly salary of 400 yuan, a proud worker.

Should I quit and find a job related to English? — Lin Feng instinctively rejected the idea. He had been reborn unexpectedly, and there was no reason to be reborn just to become a slightly better-paid English translator.

Or should I work as a technician at an auto parts company, designing components for the steering system? — Lin Feng shook his head again. Although this job had a better future and a higher income, and he could quickly get promoted with the experience from his previous life, becoming a project manager was almost certain.

But this was not the only thing he could do after being reborn. The legendary opportunity of rebirth should not be wasted like this.

What should I do then? — Lin Feng scratched his head in frustration, feeling that he was missing something crucial but couldn't quite remember it.

Damn, I'm so stupid! — Lin Feng slapped himself hard. I came back from the future, and although I don't know every detail of the next 10 years, I know the major events clearly. With the memory of the next 10 years, can't I make money? — Lin Feng finally realized the biggest difference between him and the people in this world, which was also his greatest asset.

So, what is the most profitable thing now? — Lin Feng thought for a moment, and the answer came out of his mouth, "Internet cafe!"

In 1999, internet cafes were a new industry in Chushi, and they were rapidly developing. If he opened an internet cafe now, he believed it wouldn't take long to escape poverty. Moreover, the initial investment for an internet cafe was small. Although his family was poor, they could probably come up with 10,000 to 20,000 yuan. As long as he could gather enough money for four computers, he could gradually develop and expand.

However, Lin Feng was currently penniless and would have to borrow money from his father to open an internet cafe. But would his father, who only wanted a peaceful life, be willing to use all their savings to help him open an internet cafe? — Lin Feng had a big question mark in his mind.

No matter what, I must convince my father.
