Cultivation Department Shura Field

Chapter 7 007 Meeting
The day after the Imperial Capital Olympics, Xu Zhe finally completed his second outsourcing job.At this time, it was only four or five days before the start of school.

He worked overtime and worked hard, and the two paychecks he finally received totaled just over 4000 yuan.

Before his rebirth, he wouldn't have even looked at this kind of price.What kind of garbage Party A, who doesn’t understand the most basic things. In addition to writing code, he is also responsible for a lot of explanation work...

Similarly, today's computer configuration also leaves him helpless.A mere 1G of memory and more than 100G of storage space, from the perspective of future generations, is no different from electronic waste.

But Xu Zhe had no room to be picky.

In a notebook store in Computer City, he selected a notebook.And just when he was taking out his bank card and preparing to swipe it, he heard the conversation between a mother and daughter next to him.

"Mom, do you really want to buy me this?"

"Studying also requires a balance between work and rest. Listening to music during breaks should be quite helpful."

After Xu Zhe swiped his card, he turned around and saw the mother and daughter choosing MP3 players in the store opposite.Their appearance and clothing are not ordinary. The mother wears trousers and has short hair, looking neat and capable.

The girl next to the mother has long, smooth black hair, delicate eyebrows, a slim figure, and looks quite quiet.Coupled with the white dress she wore, she looked like a little princess walking out of a fairy tale.

And Xu Zhe's eyes narrowed slightly.

I don’t know why, but I feel like this girl seems a bit familiar...

Of course, despite having this inexplicable feeling, Xu Zhe had no intention of approaching him to talk to her. After all, it was too different from his temperament.But when he was about to leave, the two conversations between the aunt and the clerk forced him to stop.

Auntie: "800 yuan, right?"

Shop assistant: "Yes, this MP3 has a large capacity of [-] megabits, and it is the latest STN color screen, which can display [-] colors -"

Halfway through his sales pitch, Xu Zhe couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The clerk frowned and looked at the little boy.

The aunt realized something was wrong and asked, "Is there something wrong with what he recommended?"

Xu Zhe shook his head slightly: "It's too much to dare to charge so much for STN's screen."

The clerk immediately argued: "This is a color screen!"

Xu Zhe: "The STN with color screen is also low-end. This is not TFT, not even TFD. It has slow response and poor image quality. The main advantage is that it is cheap and reliable. But your product is not cheap. There are similar products on the market. Most high-end products cost less than two or three hundred dollars. In comparison, what are the advantages of yours?"

The clerk was stunned for two seconds and snorted coldly: "Don't compare those fake and shoddy things with ours. What you buy depends on the quality!"

Xu Zhe smiled slightly: "Do you really want to compare the quality? Then why not open the official website of Nuoman now and compare the configuration and price? Oh no, Nuoman may be bullying you too much. Take a look at Pingguo, their new Are all the iPods out there cheaper than yours? To be honest, I understand that you want profit margins, but with a capacity of 1000 megabits and an STN screen, your price is nearly [-] yuan, which is really too much."

The aunt stared at the clerk closely: "You don't understand that you are bullying us, do you?"

The clerk's expression became stiff: "No, you...can't listen to this kid's nonsense."

Auntie: "Is he talking nonsense? Then let me see those Pingguo and Nuoman, and I'll see how much their stuff costs."

The clerk scratched his head and was speechless.

Xu Zhe just couldn't bear to speak. Now that he has pointed it out, there is no need to stay here.

He took his newly bought notebook and left leisurely.

But not far away, the aunt stopped me again:
"Kid, wait a minute! We want to buy MP3s, can you help us check it out? Don't worry, your help won't be in vain."

----

The reward for helping others buy MP3 players is a 50 yuan note.

The bottom line levels of businesses in Computer City are uneven, and it is easy to fall into traps if you are not careful, let alone consumers who know nothing about electronic products.Fortunately, Xu Zhe has seen a lot of the configurations of various electronic products and has heard a lot of tricks from unscrupulous merchants. It is not difficult for him to avoid these pitfalls.

After picking and choosing, he helped her choose a brand-name product that was affordable and had adequate performance.The user of this new MP3 is that girl.But during the selection process, her mother communicated with Xu Zhe throughout the whole process, and the girl almost said nothing.

Xu Zhe could only sigh secretly.Parents take the initiative to buy electronic products for their children, or choose and buy them. How can it be that they have to spend so many days and work hard to get bank cards and write codes to exchange money...

But after picking out the MP3 player, when the three of them were walking out, the aunt finally couldn't help but ask, "Are you going to buy a computer by yourself?"

Xu Zhe nodded.

The aunt sighed: "You know a lot about electronic products, right? But your parents are so awesome that they dare to let you buy it alone..."

Xu Zhe smiled and said nothing.After all, there was no way he could say that he earned the money himself, and that the computer he bought was completely hidden from his parents.There is no need to tell the truth to a stranger you only met once.

After all, they don't even know each other's names.

But the curiosity of the short-haired aunt has obviously not been satisfied yet.She asked again: "How old are you this year and what grade are you in?"

Xu Zhe replied in the shortest possible language: "The first day of junior high school."

The aunt's eyes widened: "How many days will you go to the first grade of junior high school? Do you want to go to the first middle school too?"

Xu Zhe nodded, already realizing something.

Sure enough, the aunt then said: "My daughter is in the same grade as you, maybe even in the same class!"

Xu Zhe: "...Haha, yes."

The girl tugged at the corner of her mother's clothes and whispered: "Mom, it's time for us to go."

At this time, the three of them had already walked out of the gate of the Computer City.The mother and daughter stopped in front of a white car.

This car is not a luxury car brand, but it is clean and shiny, and it seems to match this exquisite mother and daughter.Of course, in this small town these days, the family status that can drive such a private car is undoubtedly above the average.

But Xu Zhe didn't want to have anything to do with them anymore.

The city is small, and many seemingly strangers often have connections through twists and turns, such as old classmates and colleagues. After all, there are only so many elementary and middle schools in the city.What if this aunt knows her parents?If you keep talking too much, your decision to buy a computer will be exposed.

Anyway, I already got the 50 yuan.Xu Zhe waved his hand and said "Goodbye, aunt", without letting the other party ask his name or the other party's name.

But before turning around, he glanced at the girl one more time.

There is indeed an inexplicable sense of familiarity...

----

At midnight, after hearing his parents' bedroom door close, Xu Zhe returned to bed, picked up the pillow, and lifted the sheets, revealing the square thing.

Newly purchased laptop.

In addition to this today, he even fixed the network cable at home.However, the length of the network cable is limited, so there are requirements for the specific location where he uses the computer.

He moved the chair to the wall, placed the computer on the chair, and then plugged in the network cable.Then, he squatted in front of the chair and turned on the computer.

Looking at the computer startup screen and listening to the faint sound of the fan, Xu Zhe couldn't help but squint his eyes.

This feels so comfortable...

He had already formed a habit in his previous life. If there was no computer in the place where he lived, or if he could not use the computer freely, he would feel that everything was wrong.
