Far away in Moscow

Chapter 62 The Embarrassed Professional

The boy shook his head: "It's not 2000, it ends with two letters, XP."

"Two letters? Oh, you are talking about WinMe!" Hu Yi shook his head generously and smiled, and persuaded in a professional tone: "I don't recommend you to use Win2000 or WinMe, because both of them are in WindowsNT An operating system derived from the foundation. NT is mainly for workstations and servers. Although 2000 and Me are suitable for PCs, they are not as mature as Win98 at this stage, especially in terms of game compatibility.”

Hu Yi chattered endlessly, with earnestness in his words.The boy was a little disapproving, but he still maintained his patience and respect: "You probably... really don't know. Just wait a moment." He said and trotted, and went to another freshman's house to borrow a CD and stuff it into the CD drive : "Look, this is it."

Hu Yisi sat in front of the computer and watched WindowsXP installed step by step. It was not until he clicked the "Start" menu with the mouse and performed a series of basic operations and checked the system information that he was sure that this was really an operating system developed by Microsoft. , muttering to himself: "This...how is this...fancy..."

The boy smiled kindly: "The previous system interface was too plain, I think this is better, it feels more... Lively."

Hu Yi nodded blankly: "Yeah, the old things from before... are outdated."

The boy stared at him thoughtfully for a while, then reached out and took out five hundred rubles from his pocket: "By the way, here's the money, thank you for your hard work today."

Hu Yi seemed to have been greatly humiliated, and stood up like an electric shock: "No, no, no, I can't want it, I don't want it."

"Ah?" The boy was puzzled, "Why?"

"I didn't do anything..." Hu Yi put his hands on his hips, and looked at the corner of the room embarrassingly: "You are much more skilled than me, and I didn't help at all, so how dare you take money."

"What are you talking about? Computer software and hardware are iterating very quickly, and it's normal to not understand some things for a while." The boy said sincerely: "I just came to Russia, and you are willing to take the time to take me to the computer market. Translating Russian for me has already helped me a lot. The five hundred rubles we agreed in advance, you must accept it."

Hu Yi blushed and shied away, but in the end the boy stuffed the money into his pocket.Coming out of the boy's room, he let out a long sigh of relief, wiped the sweat off his forehead, stood in the corridor and sneered secretly to himself: Damn, what's the matter!It's really a shame to earn this money, it's a shame to spread the word!
Thinking of this, he felt impulsive, ran down the stairs with his head down, tore off the A4 paper with "professionals" posted on the information board, and then ran to several other dormitories to copy the handwritten ones. All the small advertisements were taken back and torn up, and they walked back sullenly.

The path of helping people with computers cannot be taken for the time being.After excluding tuition and accommodation fees, I only have a few hundred dollars left in my hand. What should I do?Hey, in fact, my computer skills should still be good, but I'm not so "professional", and I'm a little behind the times. Maybe I can find a way to make up lessons and make a comeback in the future...

All the way up the stairs, thinking wildly, I saw a young man sitting on a trolley suitcase at his door from a distance, using a piece of paper in his hand as a fan to keep fanning the wind.Hu Yi walked to the door and squinted at him. Seeing that he looked like a Chinese, he asked, "Who are you looking for?"

The young man got up immediately: "Hello, are you Brother Dong?" His Mandarin was quite standard, with a slightly less obvious Henan accent.

"No." Hu Yi shook his head, took out the key and opened the door.

"Eh? Strange." The young man confirmed the house number, and said to himself, "It's room 505, that's right!"

"Yes, this is 505." Hu Yi pushed the door halfway open, turned around and looked at him: "Who are you looking for?"

The young man looked very tired: "I'm looking for Anton, do you know him?"

"Huh? I am, what's the matter with you?" Hu Yi was a little surprised, because usually only foreigners would call him Anton.Looking at the young man carefully, he saw that his figure was similar to his own, with yellowish white skin, a square face, sword eyebrows and bright eyes, and he looked very energetic, but his voice was very low, and he felt a bit introverted.

The young man handed over the fan paper in his hand: "The administrator asked me to come. I don't understand what he said, but I heard him keep calling 'Anton' and wrote me a note."

Hu Yi took a look and saw that there were two lines of Russian language written in flying and phoenix dances on the top, which read: "505, Anton." The bottom read: "Please bring this student to the administrator's office."

"The administrator asked me to take you to him." Hu Yi stuffed the note into his pocket and looked up at the young man: "Are you new here?"

"Yes, I just arrived today." The young man was a little cautious: "My name is Xia Yan, Yan of the Three Fires."

"Yeah." Hu Yi nodded: "Let's go, I'll take you there." Then he pointed to the box next to him: "Let's lock the luggage in my room first, and I'll pick it up later."

Xia Yan relaxed a little, nodded and smiled, "Thank you, Brother Dong."

"My name is Hu Yi." Hu Yi thought for a while, and then added: "Call me Anton in front of foreigners."

"Oh, yes." Xia Yan agreed without knowing it, and followed him downstairs to the administrator's office.

When the administrator saw Hu Yi, he shouted: "Anton! School will start soon, and there are more and more new students. You should move out."

"Okay, I see." Hu Yi agreed with a smile: "It's not that I haven't found a suitable room yet, and I will move out as soon as I find it."

"There are so many dormitory buildings, and there are plenty of rooms, hurry up." The administrator pursed his lips helplessly, and then looked at Xia Yan: "This Chinese is a newcomer, and he didn't go through any formalities. He can't understand what I said. , and there is no one to translate for him, can you help? At least take him to the school to complete the formalities, and then change the rubles to pay for the accommodation.”

"No problem." Hu Yi agreed, "I'll take him there tomorrow."

"Thank you, Anton." Relieved, the administrator signed a temporary pass and handed it over: "Then let him live in your house."

Xia Yan followed Hu Yi back to the room, spread the bedding brought by Li Baoqing on the original bed, opened the box and put the things away, then sat on the edge of the bed for a while, and asked: "Brother Dong...ah no , Brother Hu, what do I need to do tomorrow?"

"Admitting admission, paying tuition fees, physical examination, visa on arrival, and... Anyway, it's quite long-winded, so I'll take you through it." Hu Yi crossed Erlang's legs and lit a cigarette, suddenly feeling a little strange: "Other students Someone took you to run the formalities, why no one cares about you? Didn't you come here from Sixth Brother?"
