Chapter 9: Two birds with one stone

Since it was a weekend, the business of Red Ant Internet Cafe was particularly booming.

The owner of the Internet cafe is Xie Zhigang. He probably sat there all day long to collect money and hardly exercised much. After a long time, his body also gained twice.

After waiting in the Internet cafe for a long time, Lin Weidong waited for Xie Zhigang to have a chance to take a break.

Seeing that there was no one around Xie Zhigang, Lin Weidong walked up and asked respectfully: "Hello, boss, I want to consult you, do you want to recruit Internet administrators in your Internet cafe?"

Although Lin Weidong's computer technology is sloppy, in Mei'an City in 1999, not to mention ordinary people, even the serious network administrators, there are not many who really know how to computer.

If there is a problem with your computer, the network administrator will generally ask you to restart it. If it doesn't work, you will be asked to change the machine. At most, they will change the keyboard and mouse, and that's all.

Therefore, if Lin Weidong wants to be a network administrator, there is absolutely no ability problem, let alone technical problem.

Seeing Lin Weidong's young appearance, Xie Zhigang looked at him suspiciously: "Are you here to apply for a job?"

Lin Weidong nodded: "Yes, I wonder if the boss is recruiting people here?"

It has been three months since Red Ant Internet Cafe opened. Xie Zhigang stayed in the Internet Cafe all day long and couldn't help feeling tired. Recently, he discussed with her wife about recruiting Internet administrators from the outside.

Lin Weidong took the initiative to apply for the job this time, which happened to suit Xie Zhigang's wishes.

However, Red Ant Internet Cafe is his wealth and property after all, so Xie Zhigang could not give this Internet cafe to strangers of unknown origin.

Therefore, Xie Zhigang "interrogated" Lin Weidong just like a policeman checking his household registration.

Lin Weidong was not afraid of his shadow. He answered whatever Xie Zhigang asked without any concealment.

When Xie Zhigang learned from Lin Weidong that Lin Weidong was a student of Mei'an Normal University, his impression of him changed greatly.

After reading Lin Weidong's ID card, Xie Zhigang returned the ID card to him and asked half-believingly: "Are you really a college student in Mei'an Normal University?"

Lin Weidong said seriously: "Yes, if the boss doesn't believe it, I can come here with the admission letter tomorrow and let you take a look at it myself."

Looking at Lin Weidong's solemn appearance, Xie Zhigang felt that what he said should be the truth, but he also felt something strange, and continued to ask: "Since you are a genuine college student, why don't you stay in school and instead come out to be an Internet administrator?"

Lin Weidong thought for a while and said sincerely: "Boss, tell you the truth. My family is not in a very good condition. I want to come to the Internet cafe to work and study to reduce the burden on the family."

Xie Zhigang looked at Lin Weidong seriously, thinking that he was a filial child and had a little more affection for him, and asked again: "Then don't you need to attend classes?"

In fact, Lin Weidong also seriously considered this issue. After all, his current identity is still a student, so it is definitely not OK to skip classes all day.

"I can go to night shifts! Go back to school during the day to attend classes."

Xie Zhigang said dissatisfiedly: "You can hold on to it all night without sleeping all night?"

Lin Weidong said confidently: "Boss, don't worry, my grades have always been very good, and our courses for this semester are almost finished. The next stage is the review stage, which is not a problem."

In fact, Lin Weidong is thinking about how to make money and how to create a navigation website. He has no intention of studying anymore, and he is still reviewing and reviewing.

Of course, before he made money, Lin Weidong did not want to drop out of school for the time being, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble, and it was difficult for his family to explain.

After thinking about it, Xie Zhigang thought it was not reliable to recruit college students to be an Internet manager. If the school leaders asked someone to come to the Internet cafe one day, wouldn’t that cause trouble?

Considering the school level issues, Xie Zhigang originally planned to reject Lin Weidong directly, but then he thought that since Lin Weidong is a college student at Mei'an Normal University, his grades will definitely not be too bad.

Thinking of this, Xie Zhigang said to him: "My girl's grades are pretty good. She was admitted to a key middle school last year. Her liberal arts are all good, but this math has never been ideal."

Lin Weidong immediately understood what Xie Zhigang meant, and immediately recommended himself: "My math grades are pretty good. If the boss doesn't dislike you, I can give your daughter a tutoring math."

"Physics and chemistry are no problem."

Seeing that Lin Weidong quickly understood his intentions, Xie Zhigang took the initiative to say it and smiled with satisfaction: "That's so thank you."

Xie Zhigang's wife Liu Xiaojuan mentioned to him about finding a tutor for her daughter, but he felt that the tutors were too expensive and might not be effective. Now a cheap labor suddenly came, and it was almost impossible to find anything but the result was no time.

Xie Zhi is a businessman after all, and there are people who do this beheaded business, but no one wants to mess with the loss of money.

"Brother Lin, why don't you do this? I won't delay your studies. You can give my daughter a tutoring for two hours every night, and I'll give you 10 yuan. How about it?"

Lin Weidong thought about it and found that 10 yuan is actually not low. In 1999, he could earn 300 yuan by working two hours a month, which was already a very good income.

But Lin Weidong's purpose is not to earn the 300 yuan. He wants to create a navigation website with a computer for free, and then get a salary from the Internet management, killing two birds with one stone.

However, what Lin Weidong did not expect was that Xie Zhigang was willing to spend 10 yuan to hire himself as a tutor, which was not a charity, and his wishful thinking had already been made.

It turns out that in addition to having a daughter who is in the first grade of junior high school, Xie Zhigang also has a son who is in the fourth grade of elementary school.

He only spent 10 yuan to find a reliable college tutor for his children, and this deal is definitely not a loss.

Seeing that Lin Weidong was silent and did not express his opinion, Xie Zhigang thought he wanted to ask for advice and said, "Brother Lin, it's really a lot of 300 yuan a month..."

"If you are not satisfied, we can sit down and discuss."

Xie Zhigang really wanted to find a cheap tutor for his daughter and son, but obviously he didn't want to let Lin Weidong leave like that.

Lin Weidong was not stupid either, and immediately asked, "Boss, can I make a request?"

Xie Zhigang paused and looked at Lin Weidong in confusion: "What are the requirements? Tell me."

Lin Weidong said bluntly: "I want to work as a part-time online manager. How about you give me 200 yuan in one month?"

Xie Zhigang resisted laughing. He felt that he had made money and Lin Weidong would lose a lot.

In Xie Zhigang's opinion, if it is true that Lin Weidong said, it means that he only spent 200 yuan a month and hired an Internet administrator.

You know, his wife Liu Xiaojuan is responsible for the daily life of the family, and Xie Zhigang is almost managed by all the Internet cafes alone. He even does cleaning himself. He has long felt exhausted physically and mentally. Now he only needs to pay 200 yuan and has an extra worker to do whatever he wants. It is simply too cost-effective.

"Okay! That's all!"
