Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

If you want to pursue a career in internet technology, you must first become a tech expert in the internet industry.

I don't need to become a top expert, but at the very least, I should be able to give a reasonable answer when asked.

These past few days, aside from dealing with matters concerning Sha Zhu, He Yuzhu has spent the rest of his time learning internet technology.

With the help of the spiritual spring water, he learned theoretical knowledge very quickly.

After learning the basics, I also learned about some of the more advanced systems that came later.

Take drone technology, for example.

In his previous life, he built a villa inside Xishan Mountain, which remained undiscovered by ordinary people for many years.

Later, with the development of drone technology, someone flew a drone over there, filmed the villa, and posted the video online.

The matter has escalated quite a bit.

In order to quell public anger, He Yuzhu had no choice but to have the villa demolished.

At the time, he became curious about drone technology and even had someone obtain a lot of information for him.

After finishing his theoretical studies, He Yuzhu decided to buy a computer, so he went to the computer mall and got a good one.

Just as He Yuzhu was about to leave, he suddenly saw a familiar figure.

Gu Niantang, a classmate from the same university, was also the object of his unrequited love.

Gu Niantang must come from a good family background. Feeling somewhat inferior, He Yuzhu didn't dare to approach her and could only observe her silently.

The two were not in the same department and did not have much contact with each other.

Gu Niantang also saw him, and after thinking for a while, she remembered: "He Yuzhu?"

When He Yuzhu saw him coming over to greet him, he had no choice but to stop. "Gu Niantang? It really is you. I thought I had mistaken you for someone else."

The man with her flashed a hint of disgust in his eyes. He Yuzhu wouldn't have noticed it if he hadn't turned his head to look.

"Nian Tang, you two know each other?"

Gu Niantang introduced with a smile: "This is my university classmate, He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu, this is my senior, Zhou Wenpeng."

He Yuzhu didn't know where that hint of disgust came from, but guessed it was probably out of jealousy.

He's no longer the poor college student who felt inferior around girls; he doesn't care about these things at all.

"Hello."

Zhou Wenpeng extended his hand and said in a friendly tone, "Hello. I haven't heard Nian Tang mention you before. Which university are you from?"

“I didn’t take the postgraduate entrance exam. I’m currently working at XX company,” He Yuzhu said, referring to his former company.

Although he has already left the company, that doesn't stop him from using the brand name.

Hearing that He Yuzhu was working for an unknown small company, Zhou Wenpeng visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

A graduate from an ordinary university would not pose much of a threat to him.

Perhaps feeling that He Yuzhu posed no threat to him, Zhou Wenpeng's attitude towards He Yuzhu improved considerably.

"Working is fine too. Are you here to buy a computer? Want to come along? I know a bit about computers, I can give you some advice."

He Yuzhu shook his head: "No need, I've already bought it."

Zhou Wenpeng assumed that He Yuzhu had bought a pre-assembled computer and said, "Let me tell you, if you want to buy a computer that suits your taste, you should buy the parts separately and have someone assemble it."

Those factory-assembled vehicles are cheap, but their performance is poor.

He Yuzhu was too lazy to argue with him, so he said, "I'm just processing some documents, as long as the computer can be turned on, it's fine."

Even if Gu Niantang was stupid, she could hear the arrogance in Zhou Wenpeng's tone.

She frowned slightly: "Senior Brother Zhou, please don't say such things."

Zhou Wenpeng was very concerned about Gu Niantang's attitude, and quickly said, "Look at me, I get so long-winded when this comes up. Let's not talk about it anymore, let's go buy a computer."

He Yuzhu has transformed from a simpleton back into a young man, but his mindset will never change.

He had absolutely no interest in these little brats' jealousy and rivalry.

Even if he used to like Gu Niantang, he couldn't bring himself to be jealous and fight over a woman.

He didn't want to get involved, so he said, "Then I won't bother you any longer. I'll head back now."

Gu Niantang said, "Don't go. I just came to take a look. I've already learned quite a bit."

I'll buy it another day.

"He Yuzhu, it's time to meet my old classmate. Let me treat you to dinner." This request surprised He Yuzhu quite a bit.

Although they knew each other, it was just that—acquaintances. At most, they had eaten together at student union gatherings.

Why invite him to dinner when everything was fine?

However, seeing the pleading look in Gu Niantang's eyes, He Yuzhu couldn't refuse.

He didn't know what the relationship between the two was. But he could tell that Gu Niantang was extremely impatient with Zhou Wenpeng at this moment.

Unfortunately, Zhou Wenpeng, that silly boy, didn't see it at all.

"Okay then. I closed a deal a few days ago, and the boss gave me a 5,000 yuan bonus."

"What would you like to eat? It's on me."

Zhou Wenpeng quickly said, "This is a great occasion, we should celebrate properly, let's go there."

Looking in the direction he pointed, He Yuzhu felt particularly unhappy.

This kid is taking advantage of him.

The place he was referring to was a high-end restaurant in Beijing, where a meal would cost at least two thousand yuan.

He Yuzhu ignored him and asked Gu Niantang, "What do you want to eat?"

Gu Niantang thought for a moment and said, "How about we go to Chuanweiju? I'm really craving Sichuan food."

"Alright then. Wait a moment, I'll have someone send the computer back."

He Yuzhu turned around and went into the store, telling the owner to have someone deliver the computer to the hotel front desk.

Then he came out and said, "Let's go."

Upon seeing He Yuzhu's attitude, Zhou Wenpeng's initial goodwill completely vanished.

"Why bother with the freebies? Just take it. Let us see what kind of computer you bought."

He Yuzhu casually said, "No need to take it. The boss will deliver it to your door for free."

"Are the owners here really that generous?" Zhou Wenpeng was a little confused.

He had never heard of a shop owner delivering a computer to his door.

What a joke! He Yuzhu spent 30,000 yuan on a computer. How much money can the boss make from this deal?

What's wrong with home delivery?
He Yuzhu was too lazy to explain to him, and only said that he had a good relationship with the boss.

After leaving the house, He Yuzhu hailed a taxi and took them to Chuanweiju Restaurant.

He Yuzhu was impatient to argue with Zhou Wenpeng, so he ignored him and only talked to Gu Niantang.

Gu Niantang also seemed dissatisfied with him and rarely paid him any attention.

The two briefly talked about what happened after graduation, and where several familiar classmates had gone.

The food was served, and He Yuzhu invited Gu Niantang, "Try it quickly. This is Chuanweiju's signature dish."

Gu Niantang smiled and nodded, then picked up a piece and ate it.

Zhou Wenpeng wasn't stupid; seeing Gu Niantang's attitude, he didn't dare to continue nitpicking.

He reached out his chopsticks and followed Gu Niantang's example, picking up a piece of food with his chopsticks.

"I must say, the food here is quite delicious. Nian Tang, if you like it, I'll treat you next weekend."

He Yuzhu also picked up a piece with his chopsticks, took a bite, and then frowned.

"What the hell?"

"What's wrong?" Gu Niantang asked curiously.

He Yuzhu came to his senses and realized that he had lost his composure.

He had just subconsciously mistaken Chuanweiju for his own Chaoyang Restaurant.

He ate at Chaoyang Hotel; when had he ever eaten such terrible food?

However, He Yuzhu felt relieved when he thought that this was a disciple taught by Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu's cooking skills weren't particularly good to begin with. When he taught his apprentices, he even took a cue from Yi Zhonghai and held back some of his techniques.

His apprentices and grand-apprentices naturally wouldn't make very good dishes.

Another issue is the ingredients; some of them weren't fresh. (End of Chapter)
