Chapter Forty-Six: Not Giving It To You
In the afternoon, Huang Xiangyun's computers were all packed up with the help of his teachers at school. Huang Xiangyun hired a car and prepared some soft materials to cushion them during transport.
In the evening, the car was packed. Huang Xiangyun and Li teacher who had finished work went to his home for a while and gave a red envelope of 1,000 yuan to Li teacher's beloved son.
Mr. Li and his wife didn't want to, but he sincerely asked them to stay. He knew that Mr. Li and his wife were both teachers with low incomes. Plus they had just bought a house, which was quite stressful, and they also had a child in school, so there were many expenses. This thousand yuan was just a small token of appreciation!
He insisted on giving it to them, so Mr. and Mrs. Li had no choice but to accept the money. They were already close with Huang Xiangyun, and now they felt even closer.
Due to the urgency of time, Huang Xiangyun didn't have time to have dinner at his teacher's home. After bidding farewell to his teacher and his wife, Huang Xiangyun took a car loaded with computers and headed back to Songjiang City against the sunset glow.
At over 10 o'clock at night, they arrived in Songjiang City. Huang Xiangyun had already called Chen Guiyun ahead of time and was waiting with his people at the school. After unloading all 120 computers at Songjiang No.5 Middle School, an excited Principal Chen asked Huang Xiangyun to install one computer to see the effect.
Huang Xiangyun was a bit tired but also very excited, this is a big deal! He quickly installed a computer and turned it on for Chen Guiyun to see.
"Good, haha, good! Xiao Huang, are all these machines so new?" Chen Guiyun fondled the computer that looked brand new after maintenance, he was very satisfied with it.
Huang Xiangyun said solemnly, "Uncle Chen, rest assured, they are all brand new and of good quality! These machines were used in the school's computer room and have been well-maintained. Unlike those machines from internet cafes or other places that have been severely damaged!"
Chen Guiyun had also opened some boxes and looked at them, and they were indeed very new. He hesitated for a moment, then happily said to Huang Xiangyun: "We've already bought the computer desk, come over tomorrow to help us install all the machines. After you finish installing the computers and testing them, I'll settle the account with you. By the way, can you also set up that local area network thing?"
Huang Xiangyun said: "It can be done. However, Uncle Chen, you have two machine rooms here and need two servers!"
Chen Guiyun didn't quite understand, so he asked: "How much does a server cost?"
Huang Xiangyun said: "This is uncertain, good ones are expensive. If it's cheaper, one can be enough for 20,000 to 30,000 yuan."
"Wow, it's so expensive!" Chen Guiyun was a bit tongue-tied. Huang Xiangyun smiled and said: "It's not that expensive! Now, for computers like mine, buying new ones costs 7 or 8 thousand yuan, and you have to buy them in bulk. If you buy just one, the price is even higher. You should also know this price, haha, I guess it's because you're comparing it to the price of my computer that you think the server is a bit more expensive!"
Chen Guiyun burst out laughing: "It's really like that. Alright, you help me get one server then, whatever the price is, it won't be a big difference!"
Huang Xiangyun nodded: "No problem, Uncle Chen won't say anything, I'm at ease. In that case, tomorrow I'll first assemble the computer and test the machine. If these computers are fine, then I'll go get a server... this still needs me to personally select it!"
Chen Guiyun patted his arm and said: "Alright, in short, let's hurry up!"
Huang Xiangyun said: "Don't worry, I'll make sure to hurry up! Let's just leave these machines here for tonight!"
"Put it here, absolutely no problem! If one is lost, I'll be responsible! Little Huang, you go back and rest well, tomorrow is a busy day!"
Huang Xiangyun bid farewell to Chen Guiyun, not returning home but instead going back to his new residence. After taking a comfortable hot bath, he sniffed the faint scent left by Li Mengmeng on the bed yesterday and fell fast asleep with his head covered.
The next morning, Huang Xiangyun called his family and Li Mengmeng to say that he would be busy with computer matters today. He spent most of the day at Wuzhong, and it wasn't until after 2 pm that all 100 machines were finally sorted out.
Chen Guiyun spoke with credibility, and since the computer was fine, he paid the 350,000 yuan to Huang Xiangyun. When Huang Xiangyun arrived at the bank and saw the large sum of money in his account, he felt as if he were dreaming!
"Making a fortune isn't that hard after all!" Huang Xiangyun thought to himself, recalling how he used to work so hard just to earn a meager salary every month. But now, he could easily make tens of thousands with minimal effort! This life was really too damn unreasonable!
As soon as it was light, Huang Xiangyun called Li Mengmeng.
"Hey, dear! Where are you?" The sweet and tender voice of Li Mengmeng rang out over the phone. Just listening to this lovely voice made Huang Xiangyun feel like he was eating ice cream on a sweltering summer day, feeling so comfortable that every pore in his body was singing with joy!
Huang Xiangyun's heart was warm and itchy, he said: "Wife, I've finished the computer work, want to go find you!"
Li Mengmeng said: "That's great! I'm at our home anyway! Husband, bring me some ice cream when you come!"
Huang Xiangyun said, "How coincidental! I just thought my wife's voice sounds like ice cream, and now she wants to eat ice cream? Could this be the legendary 'heart-to-heart connection' where we can understand each other without saying a word?" He said, "Wife, on such a cold day, aren't you afraid of getting sick from eating ice cream? No way, you're my treasure. If you get sick, I'll be heartbroken!"
"Hehe, husband, you're really good at talking, mm... *kiss*. Reward you with a kiss. Husband, I just love eating ice cream, if you don't buy it for me, later on I won't let you... that thing!"
Huang Xiangyun heard her voice trembling more and more, with a slightly urgent breath. His heart was greatly moved: "My wife is really a little demon, isn't she trying to seduce me into committing a crime? No, it seems like she's thinking of me, what a little slut... Hehe, but I like little sluts!"
Huang Xiangyun said vaguely: "Wife, I'll buy you ice cream, and then can I...?"
Li Mengmeng lay on the sofa, wearing shorts and a tank top, her face flushed, big eyes shining with tears, panting and shyly said: "Uh-huh!" Suddenly feeling embarrassed, she blushed and said: "I hate it, I won't tell you anymore, hang up!"
Li Mengmeng hung up the phone, feeling her face burning hot, her body also burning hot. Thinking about yesterday's craziness, some places were wet and swollen, very uncomfortable and yet eagerly anticipated.
