Reborn veteran, lying flat since high school

In 99, Quancheng Road was not a one-way street.

Tang Yisheng and Zhang Lei got into the car and gave the address. The yellow van headed east, turned left after crossing Qinglong Bridge, and soon arrived at the intersection of the Science and Technology Market.

Tang Yisheng had prepaid phone credit with the large bills he carried, and he still had a few dozen yuan in change.

Taking a taxi from the pedestrian street to the technology market, the meter went up two or three times after we started, but the total cost was less than five yuan.

Tang Yisheng took out ten yuan and handed it over.

The driver turned around to take the money and prepare to give change.

"what?"

Unexpectedly, the taxi driver turned out to be an acquaintance.

"Wow, uncle, you've upgraded from a slingshot to a cannon!"

The driver was none other than the tricycle driver who had come back to pick Tang Yisheng up.

He is also the father of the victim who overturned the table at Lao Ma's barbecue stall a few days ago.

"what?"

The middle-aged man did not recognize Tang Yisheng.

"When I came back from Beijing before, you even took me back to Furong Street in a tricycle."

"Oh, it's you. This taxi isn't mine; I'm just filling in for the day shift."

"I remember you worked at the No. 2 Machinery Factory, didn't you?"

"I'm off work today, but I'll continue pedaling the tricycle after my shift ends tonight."

The middle-aged man has an ailing elderly father and a disappointing young child, and it seems he is making the most of every spare moment to make a living.

Life is tough, so now that I've been given a second chance at life, I must cherish every moment.

Tang Yisheng squeezed Zhang Lei's hand and got out of the car.

The two held hands the whole way.

Zhang Lei's icy cold hands were almost warmed by the dampness of Tang Yisheng's palms.

"Let's eat first, then we can stroll around at our leisure."

Tang Yisheng looked around, searching for a fast food restaurant that caught his eye.

First, there must be curtains, and second, the air conditioner must be on.

Whether it tastes good or not is not within Tang Yisheng's consideration.

At worst, you can just pour sauce over rice, pick a couple of side dishes, order some pan-fried rolls, and get a piece of braised pork belly—that'll do.

On such a hot day, a fan won't solve the problem.

Even the most delicious cooking skills can be defeated by sweating profusely.

"oh."

Zhang Lei: "I'll do whatever you say."

She seemed to be so obedient that even if she were sold out, she would still help Tang Yisheng count the money.

They decided to have lunch first, then browse the tech market. Tang Yisheng didn't plan to buy a ready-made PC; assembling one would be more cost-effective.

Buying a computer is different from buying a mobile phone. In addition to comparing prices, you also need to consider the accessories that suit your needs.

In the era of the Pentium III, there weren't many options available.

After finishing their meal, the two of them went to stroll around the west building.

There are more brand stores on the west side of the building, so Tang Yisheng plans to check out the prices first before heading to the east side of the building, the main market for wholesale spare parts.

Tang Yisheng planned to ask about the price first, and then go downstairs to the bank counter to withdraw money while he was at the east building.

Buying things these days is really inconvenient.

However, the Lenovo brand computer store actually had a UnionPay logo on it, indicating that they accept credit card payments.

In the future, swiping cards to buy things will become more and more common. Although it cannot compare with facial recognition and QR code scanning, it will still greatly improve convenience.

Especially customers like Tang Yisheng who frequently make large purchases.

He already regretted not bringing a backpack with him when he went out.

A computer costs at least ten thousand yuan, so holding one in your hand is quite ostentatious.

Especially with a pretty young girl by his side, it's impossible not to attract attention.

However, Tang Yisheng had no choice.

There's a lazy, sleepy Song Junying at home. Tang Yisheng was so quick to buy a cell phone, but only after he finished did he realize he couldn't go straight back.

With nothing else to do, they could only continue bringing Zhang Lei to the technology market, killing time while starting the third essential needs plan.

Fortunately, Zhang Lei was obedient and compliant, and this trip was not entirely without purpose.

Tang Yisheng held Zhang Lei's hand as they strolled between the various counter shops, secretly pondering to himself.

A very famous person once said that a smart man should let a woman know that he is rich, but he must never let her get a lot of money.

Zhang Lei followed Tang Yisheng around, buying cell phones and desktop computers, watching helplessly as the man spent 30,000 yuan.

Although I didn't do it myself, seeing is believing, and the sensory stimulation was considerable.

Zhang Lei hasn't been forced yet, and her family hasn't experienced any further changes. She might be shocked by the amount of money she spends, but she doesn't have many thoughts about it.

But when she really encounters difficulties and is at a loss, and when Duan Xueyou's family causes trouble again, Zhang Lei will most likely not give up the chance to struggle, as long as she remembers that Tang Yisheng is rich.

Tang Yisheng doesn't need to worry about missing the opportunity to save Zhang Lei.

Girls can learn bad habits, but they must never go astray.

There's a famous saying in the entertainment industry: If you want to put your clothes back on, you have to put in a thousand times more effort than you ever got them.

Having been given a second chance at life, Tang Yisheng wants Zhang Lei to no longer have to bow down for a pittance or pretend to be friendly with people she dislikes.

Insurance salesperson is not a good fit for her, and beverage salesperson is even less suitable.

Tang Yisheng felt that Zhang Lei was better suited to study hard and find a stable job with guaranteed income after graduation.

Work diligently during the day, return to life at night; life is long, and so is leisurely living.

Zhang Lei is Tang Yisheng's ideal woman.

Even if it turns into a grain of rice, it can stick to the corner of the mouth, stick to the chest, and fall to the waist.

The brown rice will eventually shed its veil, revealing its crystal-clear interior to Yisheng.

The moment Tang Yisheng was reborn and fell, he made up his mind that this beautiful woman, destined to grow into a mature and beautiful woman, would never have to waste her life on poverty and illness again.

All she needs to do is live a down-to-earth life.

Live an independent life.

All she had to do was take her clothes off in front of Tang Yisheng.

Is Tang Yisheng domineering?

Is it a dictatorship?

Is it male chauvinism?

not necessarily.

As the saying goes, "Zhou Yu beats Huang Gai, one is willing to hit and the other is willing to be hit."

Judging from Zhang Lei's current submissive behavior, she couldn't be more eager for Tang Yisheng to "possess" her.

Who can blame them when Tang Yisheng is 1.84 meters tall and even more handsome than celebrities in magazines?

If it weren't for the school's prohibition against early romantic relationships, and the fact that she was still a minor...

How could I possibly be so restrained?

Ambiguity is merely a superficial attempt, a fleeting illusion that quenches thirst, and cannot solve any real problems.

"Keep an eye on things here and don't let anyone replace the parts. I'm going to the bank to withdraw some money."

Tang Yisheng ruffled Zhang Lei's hair.

He called Zhang Lei back from her dazed and absent-minded reverie.

Tang Yisheng found the source counter for assembling computers in Section C on the third floor of the East Building of the Technology Market.

All accessories were included, and the owner's price was quite reasonable.

The latest Pentium III processor, 128MB RAM, 13GB hard drive, 17-inch color display, 5-inch floppy disk drive, DVD drive with burning function, HP laser printer, and Cavalry subwoofer speakers.

Thirteen thousand eight.

Compared to high-end branded computers launched by Hang Seng and Lenovo, it is about three thousand cheaper.

It just so happened to be right at Tang Yisheng's target price.

It's not that Tang Yisheng is short of money. To be honest, three thousand yuan is only half a day's profit for Tang Yisheng in the stock market.

If you're lucky, it won't even take half a day.

The reason why the "519 rally" is still talked about decades later is because it made a group of people rich overnight, while leaving an even larger group of people with deep regret.
