Age of Legends

Chapter 86 Murderous Intent

After moving the computer into Zhang Chen's house, Huang Huifen and Zhang Zhonghua watched Wang Shuowei carry the monitor into Zhang Chen's room and put the monitor down. The computer case with colorful lights and a sports car shape also stood on Zhang Chen's desk. When it was lit, it gave the house a KTV look.

Both Huang and Zhang felt that recent events were somewhat out of their control, and it seemed as if this family had changed drastically in an instant.

You have to know that the move in 1998 was one of the biggest changes in their family's life. In the two years, they didn't even change the wire of the rice cooker. The electric fans were bought before Zhang Chen was born, and it has been almost 20 years now.

Now, in a short period of time, the family has seen Zhang Chen's grades soar, the family borrowed 100,000 yuan to buy a shop, and today Zhang Chen suddenly brought home a computer.

It’s okay to just bring back a computer, as long as it’s not the eldest grandson.

These days, computers are definitely big items for ordinary families, and they can easily cost seven or eight thousand or even tens of thousands of yuan, which is difficult for the average working class to afford.

After some explanation, Zhang Zhonghua and Huang Huifen still forced Wang Shuowei to stay for a meal and invited Wang Bowen to come to their house for dinner another day.

Wang Shuowei praised Zhang Zhonghua's braised chicken for still tasting the same as it did back then, and he was quite craving for it.

There is internet at home, but the equipment needs to be upgraded. Zhang Chen asked Fulun Telecom to pull an Internet cable to his house and installed an extension router. Now he can access the Internet at home.

There was still one cell phone missing, so Zhang Chen and Wang Shuowei went to the telecom and bought one each. Zhang Chen bought a PHS for more than 3210 yuan, which was fine as long as it worked, mainly for the convenience of contacting Wang Bowen and others. Wang Shuowei bought a new phone with his New Year's money, a Nokia , which cost yuan. It seemed that what Li Bin said at the time was true.

The key point is that there is a Motorola v998 next to it, a palm-sized device, the silver version costs 4999, the black version costs 5999, and Nokia's high-end 7110 is sold for 8000 yuan at this time.

Wang Shuowei was planning to sell 7110, and said, "Li Bin showed off to me by selling a 3210. I can buy two of his phones with my 7110. What do you think? Do you want to slap him in the face?" Zhang Chen persuaded him no matter what. But he must not fall into the trap of consumerism.

Zhang Chen now has a very intuitive understanding of what consumerism is. These antique machines that were sold in the past for one or two hundred yuan each are now treasures that countless people covet and a source of show-off. As expected, the reborn are high-dimensional creatures in this regard, and are naturally disenchanted by some things.

Zhang Chen was puzzled again. "Where did you get so much money? Did you get a lot of New Year's money?"

Zhang Chen was a little reluctant when Wang Bowen wanted to give Wang Shuowei a large amount of money. In the past, Wang Shuowei's relatives only gave him two or three thousand yuan as New Year's money, and this time it was about six thousand yuan in total. He invited guests several times during the New Year, all of whom were his friends. Although Zhang Chen did not go, it was known that he spent about three thousand yuan during the Spring Festival.

Can you still afford so much money to buy a mobile phone?

Wang Shuowei said slyly: "Aunt Chen Xuran gave me five thousand."

It turns out that godmother is not as good as biological mother!
In the past, Wang Shuowei referred to Chen Xuran as “that woman”, then as “Chen Xuran”, and now he respectfully refers to her as “Auntie Chen Xuran”, a typical example of a man whoever feeds him is his mother.

But it doesn't matter if you buy a mobile phone at this time. Many classmates have bought mobile phones during this holiday. Or the Xiaolingtong produced by Fulon Company, which is cheap and easy to use. It is a substitute for mobile phones. The disadvantage is that it can only be used within the city of Darong. There will be no signal outside the city.

Shen Nuoyi also bought a Motorola mobile phone a few days after the Spring Festival, which seemed to cost more than 3,000 yuan. When he got the new red flip phone, Shen Nuoyi gave Zhang Chen his phone number: "You can call me in the future."

After Zhang Chen got the Xiaolingtong, he called Shen Nuoyi and reported the number. Xiaolingtong has also completed the interoperability negotiations with China Mobile, China Unicom and other operators, and can send text messages to mobile phones. However, Zhang Chen's purchase of a mobile phone caused Huang Huifen's dissatisfaction, "Your mother only uses Xiaolingtong, but you bought Xiaolingtong. Although you have the New Year's money given by your godfather, this mobile phone is not necessary. The monthly phone bill is still 20 yuan!"

Zhang Chen received several payments during the Chinese New Year, totaling 800 yuan. However, except for the 300 yuan he kept for himself, the rest was taken away by Huang Huifen, who said, "I have to give it to others since others gave it to you."

Wang Bowen gave him 1,000 yuan as New Year's gift. Huang Huifen knew that Wang Bowen had given him money privately, but when she asked Zhang Chen how much, Zhang Chen did not tell her. Her mother let it go. Anyway, she had recovered most of the cost.

Zhang Chen then placed 1,300 yuan in front of Huang Huifen and said, "This is what you left me before. This is what my godfather gave me. A total of 1,300 yuan, mom, here it is."

Huang Huifen was at a loss for words. She looked at the pile of money hesitantly, "It's not you... You didn't spend your New Year's money on buying a PHS? Then where did you get the money?"

"Have you forgotten that I worked for my godfather during the winter vacation, helping him with that show? I was paid 100 yuan a day as a temporary worker, and as his godson, shouldn't I get that much? Working just allowed me to buy a PHS. There's some left, so don't worry. I'll give you this money. Money is tight at home right now, and you still owe your godfather money, right? Although the store may make money in the future, that's in the future."

Zhang Zhonghua and Huang Huifen stared at Zhang Chen and were speechless for a long time.

Then Zhang Chen took the money and put it in Huang Huifen's hand, saying, "Take it, Mom."

For the first time, Huang Huifen suddenly didn't want to take her son's money and felt a little ashamed. There were sparkles in her eyes.

……

"Zhang Chen, I won't go to the bookstore today. My sister has been pestering me to take her shopping, and it's been a while since I've been with her."

Shen Nuoyi sent a text message to Zhang Chen.

Her cousin Qin Tangxi, who studies at Experimental Foreign Language School, one of the "Five Private Beauties" in Rongcheng, came to her house early this morning. She came here several times in the afternoon, but was told that Shen Nuoyi had gone out to read. Qin Tangxi was very crazy.

But every time she asked Shen Nuoyi where she was going to read, she would go directly there next time, and her cousin would just say casually that your coming here disturbed her study time, and would not even tell her the location.

So this time, Qin Tangxi acted first and asked her driver to come early in the morning. Her family was very rich. They collected red wood. In this era, a coffee table cost tens of thousands, and a bed cost 200,000. She was one of the richest people in Rongcheng at that time. The private first-tier school she attended was also for studying abroad.

She loves shopping the most, from the clothing wholesale market to the flower and bird market to the Wangfujing luxury goods market, she will go to every corner. She likes to take her cousin for a walk in Wangfujing, pick out some jewelry, and all the way there, her eyes behind her are full of speculation about this outstanding pair of sisters.

Zhang Chen had actually gone out when he received Shen Nuoyi's message, so he replied: "Okay, I'll be alone today. Have fun shopping."

Snap! Close the flip phone.

Shen Nuo glanced at his cousin.

Qin Tangxi, who was pretending to be silly and cute next to him, suddenly felt a chill. He felt that the look his cousin just gave him... was murderous!
