Chapter 15: Meeting by a narrow road
To put it bluntly, the Internet administrators in the Internet cafe are the waiters and cleaning ladies. In addition to cleaning, they also have to be called by customers all day long to buy cigarettes and water.
Although Lin Weidong has a pretty good temper, no matter how good a person has, he will inevitably be upset when he meets some customers who throw money.
Moreover, there are all kinds of people who come to the Internet cafe to surf the Internet. Some are purely players who play games, some are curious about chatting online, and some are office workers who search for information online.
No matter who it is, they are not very familiar with the Internet. They often call on the Internet administrator to come and help to find a website. It is easy to imagine how busy Lin Weidong is at work.
You should know that you can eat fast food for 2 yuan this year. The cost of surfing the Internet is not low, it takes 5 yuan per hour, and people's monthly salary is generally only a few hundred yuan.
Some customers found a website, but it took half an hour to make a lot of trouble, and the Internet fee disappeared, and even Lin Weidong felt heartbroken when he saw it.
It is precisely because of this that Lin Weidongne became more urgent and wanted to tinker with the "navigation website" as soon as possible.
That afternoon, Lin Weidong discussed with Xie Zhigang that he would go to the night shift tonight, so Xie Zhigang would of course beg for it.
Originally, these days, there were few customers all night at night, and the income from Internet cafes was relatively less than that during the day.
If Xie Zhigang wanted to pay off the debts owed by buying a computer earlier in order to earn more money, he would definitely not be willing to stay up all night every night.
After Lin Weidong returned to school for dinner in the afternoon, he slept in the dormitory until 9 pm before going to the water room to take a cold shower, and then set off from the school and headed to the Red Ant Internet Cafe.
It was late at night and there were not many customers in the Internet cafe. After Xie Zhigang finished calculating the accounts, he took out the scattered cash from the drawer and put it into a bag.
When Xie Zhigang saw Lin Weidong coming, he felt relieved and smiled and reminded: "Weidong, I'm going to bed. If you have anything, go upstairs and call me."
Lin Weidong nodded and said, "Okay boss, go and rest quickly."
Xie Zhigang stood up from the chair, took out a two-dollar banknote from the bag, and handed it to Lin Weidong, saying, "If you are hungry, take it for midnight snack."
Lin Weidong did not refuse, borrowed money and said respectfully: "Thank you, boss."
Xie Zhigang nodded with a smile: "Well, young people do it well."
After Xie Zhigang went upstairs, Lin Weidong was a little confused, and he couldn't figure it out.
"Why is the boss so trusting me? He is willing to hand over this entire Internet cafe to me? Isn't he afraid that I will take the opportunity to make money?"
"Or, is there a pinhole camera installed in the Internet cafe? I'm secretly monitoring me?"
Thinking of this, Lin Weidong looked around and checked around the cash register, but found nothing.
Of course, Lin Weidong did not have the idea of getting enough for his own pockets. He just couldn't understand why Xie Zhigang believed in him so much.
In fact, in China, all large and small Internet cafes have basically no cameras installed or CCTV.
If the couple hadn't been unable to stand it anymore, Xie Zhigang would not have handed over his Internet cafe to an outsider Lin Weidong.
Before this, Xie Zhigang had carefully considered it and asked his relatives and friends to come to help manage it, but he felt that this matter was mainly based on character. In the face of money, brothers could not avoid being obsessed with interests.
At least so far, Xie Zhigang can trust Lin Weidong's character. Even if Lin Weidong hides some money, he can turn a blind eye. As long as he doesn't go too far, he can barely accept it.
In fact, it is difficult to explain this. If the Internet cafe closes at night, Xie Zhigang can't make a penny, but if he and Li Xiaojuan take turns to spend all night every day, the couple probably won't live long.
So, since Lin Weidong is willing to help with the night shift, Xie Zhigang can make money by himself, so why not do it?
That night, there were very few people on the red ants all night. At 12 a.m., there were only eight or nine people left in the Internet cafe, and only seven people actually stayed all night.
Lin Weidong finally has free time and can calm down and do his own things.
Just as Lin Weidong was concentrating on building the website, a man with a beard in his 24 or 25 years old walked up to him and handed him a cigarette.
Perhaps because of guilt, the man asked in a low voice: "Internet administrator, do you have that kind of movie to watch in your Internet cafe?"
Lin Weidong took the cigarette and asked in a daze: "What kind of movie is it?"
The man seemed to be afraid that others would hear it, so he hurriedly whispered: "It's that kind, the kind that doesn't wear clothes..."
Lin Weidong smiled, said nothing, held the cigarette in his mouth, and touched his pocket habitually, only to remember that he hadn't smoked for a long time.
Seeing this, the man hurriedly took out his lighter, bent over, and lit a fire on Lin Weidong's cigarette, while saying, "Check is not a good cigarette, but it can still be smoked."
Lin Weidong took a sip, then spit out the cigarette rings, and said, "This cigarette is OK, it's not bad."
Speaking of smoking, in the past life, when Lin Weidong broke up with Wu Shan, he gave up on himself and smoked cigarettes for a while.
However, Lin Weidong smokes, pretending to be deeply numbing himself. He has never been addicted to cigarettes itself, and he can smoke or not.
Lin Weidong paused and said with a smile: "You can turn on the desktop computer first, I will help you with it later."
"Okay, thank you." The man was in a good mood and handed another cigarette and placed it on the table.
Since there are other people in the Internet cafe, when the man watched action movies on the bed, he always pulled the video window to a very small size, opened the browser, wore the headset, and looked around.
Once someone passes by him, he quickly minimizes the video, then pretends to be watching the web page, or clicking out the oicq avatar, pretending to be typing.
After watching for a while, he would always get up and walk towards the toilet behind the Internet cafe. Even if he didn't say it, Lin Weidong knew what he was going to do.
This is understandable. Schopenhauer once said that sexual impulses are the subconscious of human beings, they are born for the reproduction of races, and are natural human rights. No one can blame or deprive them.
Many times, people always regard it as a shame, the secret of invisible light.
However, after all night is an extremely tormenting thing.
Lin Weidong was so sleepy that he wanted to sleep on the table. After a while, he woke up suddenly and was very restless.
After all, it is the Internet administrator of Red Ant Internet Cafe. If anything happens to the Internet cafe, Lin Weidong is responsible.
After just one night, Lin Weidong's beard grew very fast and he looked much older.
At 7 o'clock the next morning, Xie Zhigang came down from the upstairs in full spirit to take over. Lin Wei completed the task successfully, and then walked out of the Internet cafe weakly and walked towards Mei'an Normal School.
"I want to eat pickled noodles and make soup first, and then go back to the dormitory to sleep for a dark day."
At this moment, Lin Weidong's heart was nothing more important than having breakfast and having a safe and sound sleep.
As Lin Weidong walked, he met two women who looked like college students, one was his first love girlfriend Wu Shan, and the other was her best friend Liang Chunyuan.
Wu Shan looked at Lin Weidong's haggard look and felt a little guilty and heartache. She ignored Liang Chunyuan's dissuasion and walked straight to Lin Weidong and asked with concern: "Weidong, are you... okay?"
Since Lin Weidong is in the fourth grade of junior college and Wu Shan is in the first grade of junior college, and the two classrooms are not on the same floor, Lin Weidong and Wu Shan almost never met again after breaking up.
This time Wu Shan saw Lin Weidong again, but he became so depressed. Wu Shan thought that she had broken up and hurt Lin Weidong, and she felt uncomfortable.
Lin Weidong glanced at Wu Shan, then looked at Liang Chunyan behind her, and said lightly: "I'm fine, what's wrong with you?"
Wu Shan shook her head and sighed: "I'm fine...you...you should take good care of yourself."
