Chapter 126: I Have a Friend

However, Cheng Hu was afraid of discouraging his girlfriend, so he didn't voice the thoughts in his heart.

Instead, he smiled and gave his blessings.

"Don't worry, you have such good luck; you'll find it in a while."

"You're just good with words."

Listening to Cheng Hu's words, Zhou Yu felt much better in her depressed heart.

"By the way, why did you suddenly treat me to hot pot today?"

"That's because I made some money, of course."

"Did you go out for a part-time job? That's not right. Haven't you been playing games in the dorm ever since the break started?"

"Hehe, I earned it by playing games."

Cheng Hu said with a smile. Since the break began, their luck had been explosive; they had actually farmed two Gu Yue Sets, and combined with the materials dropped from farming equipment, they had sold everything for over 6,600 yuan.

When split among the four of them, each person could get over 1,600.

Hearing Cheng Hu's words, Zhou Yu frowned.

"Next year, you'll all be starting your internships. Play fewer games; don't let it affect your studies."

"I know. We only play during our free time and it doesn't affect our classes, so don't worry."

Cheng Hu comforted her, then revealed a mysterious smile.

"I also bought this for you, take a look."

As he spoke, he took a packaging box out of the backpack behind him and pushed it in front of his girlfriend.

Zhou Yu took a curious look and was completely stunned.

It was actually a laptop, and it was one she had been eyeing for a long time. It cost over 5,000 yuan, so it had always been in her shopping cart, and she had planned to buy it after she started working and earning money.

She hadn't expected Cheng Hu to actually buy it for her.

However, she quickly thought of a problem: where did Cheng Hu get so much money? She knew a bit about his family situation.

Thinking of the news from a while back about someone selling a kidney to buy a mobile phone, she couldn't help but feel a bit worried.

"Where did you get so much money to buy a computer?"

"I earned it from playing games. You don't know about this game…"

Cheng Hu excitedly explained the game situation. Before the Room, he had a Gu Yue Set that he sold for 3,000 yuan, which was his alone.

Yesterday, he split over 1,600 more, and combined with some savings he had previously, it was just enough to buy a computer.

After listening to Cheng Hu's explanation, Zhou Yu's expression was one of shock. She hadn't expected that playing a game could actually earn so much money.

And the first thing he did with his earnings was to think about buying her a computer; he must have seen the shopping cart on her phone.

"Thank you, but this gift is too expensive; I can't accept it."

"Why are you being polite with me? You'll be working soon, too. When you start earning money, you can just buy one back for me, right? Besides, isn't your current computer laggy? That really affects your design work."

Cheng Hu said nonchalantly.

Listening to Cheng Hu's words, Zhou Yu thought about it and realized it was indeed true; buying one back after she earned her own money would be the same.

"Alright then, I'll accept it. When I start working and earning money, I'll keep you."

"That's not necessarily true. My roommates and I have decided to use that game to earn money while we're in school and save it up. After graduation, we're going to partner up and open an animation studio. So by then, it's not certain who will be keeping whom."

"You're so dense."

Watching Cheng Hu speak with such excitement, Zhou Yu couldn't help but retort.

Beiming County,

"Mom, I'm going to Second Aunt's place today. I won't be back for lunch."

Early morning,

Chen Mo greeted his mother and left the house.

It was already Saturday, and tomorrow was Sunday; he should be heading back to the company.

However, there was one important thing he hadn't done yet: go to his Second Aunt's place to ask his older brother about that bubble tea shop that lost money.

That was a major matter related to how much money he could settle in the future, so he had to ask clearly.

If it really was a money-losing industry, he would definitely have to jump on it.

His Second Aunt's house was in the north of the city. If he walked, it would take half an hour, so he planned to take a "little bouncy."

This "little bouncy" was a very common means of transportation in their county; it was just a three-wheeled electric vehicle with a cover, and for three yuan, it could take you anywhere in the county.

However, before going to Second Aunt's place, he went to the supermarket and bought a bag of rice, a bag of flour, and a barrel of soybean oil. Visiting relatives, after all, he couldn't go empty-handed.

And rice, flour, and oil were the most common gifts here.

North of the city,

The electric vehicle stopped in front of a unit door, and the driver even helped unload the rice and flour.

Chen Mo thanked him and picked up his phone to call his older brother.

After all, he couldn't carry this rice and flour by himself.

Not long after,

A sturdy-looking man came thumping down the stairs; it was his older brother, Li Zhengqi.

"Little brother, just come over, why buy these things?"

Li Zhengqi nimbly shouldered a bag of flour and picked up a barrel of soybean oil.

"Don't lift this rice. Wait for me to take the flour up, then I'll come down to carry it."

"Big Brother, I can carry a bag of rice."

Chen Mo smiled, shouldered the bag of rice, and followed behind.

"Chen Mo is here. You child, just come over, why buy things? Old Li, hurry and take the rice from Chen Mo; it's quite heavy."

Just as they reached the third floor, they saw Second Aunt already standing at the door.

"No need to change shoes; the Room isn't clean anyway."

Chen Mo was just about to change shoes when he was enthusiastically pushed into the house by Second Aunt, Yang Xiuhe.

Sitting on the sofa,

He was subjected to a barrage of "interrogations" from Second Aunt.

What kind of work are you doing? Is it tiring? Do you have a girlfriend? …and a series of other questions.

After a long while,

Chen Mo finally found an opportunity—an opportunity to be alone with his older brother.

"Big Brother, can I ask you something?"

"What is it, so mysterious?"

Seeing his younger brother pull him into the Room and act all mysterious, Li Zhengqi was a bit curious.

"I want to ask, my sister-in-law's younger sister franchised a bubble tea shop that ended up losing money. What exactly happened?"

Chen Mo asked.

Li Zhengqi was stunned upon hearing this, then realized.

"Second Aunt told you, right? Why are you asking about this?"

"I have a friend who also wants to invest in a bubble tea shop recently, so I came over to help ask around and see what pitfalls can be avoided."

Chen Mo casually made up an excuse. He couldn't very well say that he also wanted to open a bubble tea shop.

If he said that, his family would be worried to death.

"I see. However, I don't know much about the specific details. If you really want to know, you should ask the person herself."

Li Zhengqi scratched his head awkwardly; he wasn't interested in this matter and didn't have much understanding of it.

"Oh, then give me her number."

Chen Mo never intended to find out anything here; getting the phone number was his ultimate goal.

Actually, he could have just asked over the phone, but since he came home, he had to visit his relatives.

"What do you need a phone number for? The person is right upstairs. I'll take you there right now."
