Chapter 181: Chapter 181: All good things
Liu Wenjun is a smart person. When he remembered that Teacher Li had heard him speak ill of the former principal and was subsequently splashed with water by Zheng Jiayi, he couldn't help but casually say, 'You really deserve it!'
He immediately understood and could only lament his bad luck. Who told him to say it was Zheng Jiayi's mother? It was only right that he got splashed!
But he didn't want to tell Feng Yiping that Zheng Jiayi was hiding her identity. If he found out again, did he want to get splashed again?
Feng Yiping saw his sad expression and immediately turned his head away. What is a masculine young man like you doing with that expression?
Anyway, he is the one getting splashed, and he doesn't care, so of course Feng Yiping doesn't care either.
What is the most painful thing about gossipers? It is knowing a big secret but not being able to tell anyone about it!
Liu Wenjun felt that if things continued like this, he would definitely get sick from holding it in, so he thought of a way to switch seats! Can't you avoid it if you can't stand it?
On Saturday afternoon, Feng Yiping walked out of the school gate and saw Feng Zhenchang parking his car across the street and waving at him. He ran over with his school bag on his back, and Feng Zhenchang handed him a thermos, saying, 'Here, your mother cooked the noodles especially for you, so you can fill your stomach first.'
'Have you eaten, Dad?'
Feng Zhenchang took out a glutinous rice chicken wrapped in a bamboo leaf from the other thermos and peeled it open for him, saying, 'I ate it before I came.'
His mother's cooking really did taste better. Feng Yiping, who was growing fast, finished the noodles in a few minutes with relish. Feng Zhenchang laughed and handed him the sticky rice chicken, saying, 'You eat like you don't have a throat.'
As his career had achieved some success, Feng Zhenchang's personality had also changed a bit, and he was more confident. He smiled more and more in front of his children, unlike before when he always had a cold face.
After more than two hours, Feng Zhenchang and Feng Yiping pulled up in a small residential area in the city centre. This was one of the few high-rise residential areas in the provincial capital, with each building 21 storeys high. It was also one of the first residential buildings in the provincial capital to have elevators.
Feng Yiping followed his father to the 16th floor and knocked on the door of 1605. The door was opened by Cai Hong's sister-in-law, who said, 'Brother Zhenchang, it's been a long time, come in.'
Cai Hong came out of a room with her brother's girlfriend Xie Li on her arm. The arrogant Xie Li could not hide her envy.
'Yiping, look, I'm very happy with all this furniture,' said Cai Hong, leading Feng Yiping to look at the furniture he had designed.
'Feng Yiping, did you really design all this?' Xie Li asked suspiciously.
'It's not exactly original, I've seen some magazines and borrowed a lot,' Feng Yiping told the truth, but it was a magazine from more than twenty years later.
Xie Li gave a look of 'I knew it' but still said to Feng Yiping, 'Then buy me a specially designed set too!'
Before Feng Yiping could say anything, Mei Yiliang in the living room took over, "Not that it's not possible, but how are you and Er Ge going to thank him? Rainbow and I promised to buy him a computer.'
Feng Zhanchang said while drinking tea, "Just kidding, don't take it seriously, if Yiping wants a computer I'll buy him one.'
Xie Li went over and sat next to Cai Xin. 'I'm saying, when the time comes to thank Yiping, it should be Uncle Cai who is grateful. After all, the designs are always handed over to the factory in the end, don't you think?' She nudged Cai Xin with her arm.
'Xiao Li, you're wrong to say that. Your furniture, Dad definitely won't charge you for it. So not only will you get a free set of furniture, you won't even have to repay the favour. You really are a top student from university!'
Sure enough, not many sisters-in-law can get along with each other.
As soon as they said they would do it, they took advantage of the time they still had. Mei Yiliang drove Feng Yiping and Cai Lei, who wanted to see the fun, to the electronics market together. Cai Xin, the second son, went shopping with his girlfriend, Feng Zhenchang went back to the store, and Cai Hong and her sister-in-law prepared dinner.
At that time, the electronics market was not the modern Digital Harbor as it is now. It was mainly an old three-storey building with all kinds of signs hanging outside. The streets nearby were also full of shops selling related products, and it was very lively and noisy. There were flatbed trucks pulling through the streets, with goods piled high on them.
Feng Yiping didn't know anything about hardware either, and he only vaguely remembered that the current Pentium processors could be overclocked. It seemed that by adjusting the frequency multiplier switch, the CPU could still run stably at a higher frequency.
So they went from one shop to the next, asking questions as they went. In no time at all, they had a handful of quotations in their hands. After comparing them, they realised that they were all more or less the same, and couldn't tell much from them.
Feng Yiping thought, since no one understood, it would be better to get a branded machine, so as not to get ripped off by those assembled machines.
However, at this time, the brand stores that would later appear everywhere had not yet appeared. After walking around for a while, Feng Yiping found a store that mainly sold Lenovo computers. After looking at them for a long time, he finally set his eyes on one that was called a 'multimedia computer' according to the current popular name.
Pentium 75 processor, 14-inch monitor, 8M dynamic memory, 540M hard drive, 4x optical drive, 16-bit sound card, and of course it came with the Windows 95 operating system. It was really expensive, 14,800 yuan!
Three people took turns, and after more than half an hour of bargaining, they finally settled on 13,000. They also gave the owner three floppy disks. Feng Yiping mentioned that the owner had personally overclocked the Pentium 75 to Pentium 100 level.
'Do you want to play games?'
The owner asked, and this time Feng Yiping broke the bank a few more dollars. Feng Yiping asked the owner for a copy of Red Alert 95 installation disk.
When paying, he had to say, 'Mei Yiliang was a little shaken. He knew this stuff wasn't cheap, costing tens of thousands of yuan, but looking at the two boxes, he felt they were a bit of a waste.
This money is almost half of the price of his car, and it can also buy the bathroom in his current apartment.
'Thank you, brother-in-law!' It's really good to have an uncle who is rich and willing to spend money for you!
When he thought about it, he didn't think about the fact that, in terms of starting a family, he was actually richer than his brother-in-law.
'You're welcome. Use the computer for the right reasons, don't always play games, remember?'
It's only right to give a few pointers after spending over 10,000 yuan. 'I remember, little brother!'
Cai Lei, who was standing nearby, found it all very amusing. 'Your nephew is a real fox.'
In the evening, there was a lot of excitement in the new house of his little brother. There were six Cai family members, plus four Feng Yiping's family members, and the two Mei brothers, making a total of twelve people. The six adult men had a drinking session at one table, while Feng Yiping and his mother and sisters had fruit juice at another table. The party didn't end until ten o'clock.
The next day at noon, Feng Yiping and the others were waiting in front of the Finance University. From a distance, they saw a woman in professional attire who looked familiar approaching. When they got closer, he pretended to be unable to believe his eyes and rubbed his eyes, 'Is that you, Sister Li Jia?'
Li Jia in front of him had indeed changed a lot. She had lost a full circle of weight, had her hair done, wore light makeup, and was dressed in a modest professional outfit. Her overall image was very different from before.
'What do you think?' Li Jia spun around in front of him, 'Do I look good?'
'You look good, you've gone from a girl to a goddess!'
'Haha, you're good at talking, so where are you taking us for lunch?'
'Where's Fat Brother?'
'What's taking so long, hurry up!' Li Jia said to Gao Zhiyi, who was also wearing a suit and tie but was walking slowly with a woman's bag in his hand.
'It's just an internship, why make it so formal?' Gao Zhiyi greeted Feng Yiping, loosened his tie, and then complained.
'You know nothing. It's just an internship, but you have to make a good impression on the leaders.'
Feng Yiping felt that the two of them were obviously different from before, so he tentatively asked, 'From the looks of it, I shouldn't be the one treating today, you should be treating me to thank me for being the matchmaker!'
'What matchmaker? We knew each other before you met us!' Li Jia wanted to pinch Feng Yiping's ears. "You already have more money than us, and Ma Jiwei introduced you to a renovation job at a sub-contractor. Even though it's a subcontract, you can still make a profit, so who else is going to pay if not you?'
'Okay, I'll pay!" Feng Yiping agreed with both hands raised.
Haha, in the past two days, everything that happened was good!
