Rebirth begins with picking up a cold and aloof school beauty

Chen Zhou's move greatly shocked the two people behind him!

The internet cafe girl stammered, "Boss... this handsome guy is amazing!"

How could it not be impressive? The other side is none other than the world-renowned Microsoft!

He hacked Microsoft's global website; he's practically a god!

The blond-haired boss nodded emphatically, then reached out and patted Chen Zhou on the shoulder, his face full of respect.

"Hello, Master!" the blond-haired man said politely.

Chen Zhou turned around and couldn't help but exclaim "Uh!" to himself: Holy crap! Isn't that the blond guy at the next table? Didn't he just get up and leave? And there's that internet cafe girl too? When did they get behind me?

I was just too focused!

An oversight!

Great!

Damn... It's all Microsoft's fault!

Chen Zhou felt a little regretful; he didn't want to showcase his hacking skills offline, lest it attract unnecessary trouble.

Chen Zhou asked calmly, "What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

The blond-haired man, his face always bearing a smile and respect, said humbly, "Master, let me introduce myself. I'm the owner of this internet cafe, my name is Luo Fei. I've dreamed of becoming a hacker since I was a child. After witnessing your incredible hacking skills, my admiration for you is like a surging river, never-ending!"

"And you're so young! Could you teach me how to become a hacker as awesome as you?"

"I'm willing to pay! Will you teach me if I pay you?"

Luo Fei spoke with heartfelt sincerity, his words filled with a desire to "show off after becoming a hacker."

The internet cafe girl chimed in, "Our boss is loaded! He's got plenty of money!"

Luo Fei nodded repeatedly: "Yes! Money's no object!"

Hearing this, Chen Zhou, who was already penniless, was indeed tempted.

He urgently needs start-up funding for his first project.

Chen Zhou was greedy for money, but he remained outwardly calm. He looked at Luo Fei calmly and said, "Heh, not short of money? How can you say you're not short of money?"

Luo Fei said, "As long as you're willing to teach me real skills so I can become a hacker as awesome as you, I'll give you this amount..." Luo Fei held up one of his right index fingers, "100! How about it?"

Chen Zhou was overjoyed. Holy crap, is this some kind of rich man's stupid son? He's so damn generous!

But Chen Zhou remained calm, hesitatingly saying, "100 million is alright, but if you want to reach my level of skill, we'll have to see..."

Chen Zhou wanted to show off a bit more, but Luo Fei surprised him with an "Ah!" and interrupted him somewhat awkwardly, saying, "Sorry, master."

Chen Zhou asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Luo Fei awkwardly corrected, "It's 100, but... not 10,000."

"???" Chen Zhou was stunned. "100, not 10,000? So it's just one yuan?"

Luo Fei nodded. "Yes, 100 yuan."

“…………”

Chen Zhou was utterly speechless, and then laughed in exasperation.

If it weren't for the Skynet project, he would have given this blond-haired guy a few punches, just like Lu Zhishen did to Zhen Guanxi!

Are you trying to make fun of me?!

Seeing Chen Zhou's subtle expression, Luo Fei quickly added, "Master, don't misunderstand, what I meant was not 100 in total, but 100 per hour."

Chen Zhou remained speechless. These days, tutoring teachers in Chengdu earn more than that.

I'm paying you 100 yuan an hour to teach you hacking techniques? And I'm expected to make you as awesome as me?

What are you dreaming of?

Chen Zhou pursed his lips and shook his head, leaving everything unsaid.

The internet cafe girl was surprised. "You're not even willing to pay 100 yuan an hour? Our internet fee here is only 2 yuan an hour!"

Seeing Chen Zhou refuse, Luo Fei quickly added, "Master, please don't! If you think the money is too little, I'll give you more, 150? No, 200 an hour! Is that alright?"

Chen Zhou shook his head again.

Even the internet cafe girl couldn't stand it anymore. She pointed at Chen Zhou angrily and said, "Hey! How can you be so ungrateful? You're too greedy!" As she spoke, the internet cafe girl was about to revert to her true form as a spirited young lady, rolling up her sleeves and ready to fight Chen Zhou.

Luo Fei grabbed her, glared at her, and said rudely, "Is this any of your business? Get out!"

The young woman paused, then said, looking aggrieved, "Boss, he's too..."

Luo Fei interrupted angrily, shouting, "Get out!!"

The young woman felt extremely wronged, but she had no choice but to obediently leave the private room, not forgetting to glare at Chen Zhou before leaving.

Chen Zhou gave an awkward smile, only to see Luo Fei suddenly squat down beside him and grab his sleeve.

Chen Zhou's eyes widened. "Wait, what are you doing?!"

But Luo Fei looked sincere and excited as he said, "Master, please teach me hacking! I really, really want to be a hacker!! I dream about it all the time!!"

"If you think 200 yuan is too little, I'll give you 300 yuan an hour, okay? Please, just teach me!"

Seeing Luo Fei's genuine emotions, with tears and snot streaming down his face, Chen Zhou was completely stunned.

The last time he witnessed such a heartfelt expression of emotion was when Hu Hai was portrayed by Yu Bin.

But they sought help from Li Si and Zhao Gao to become emperor! And you're doing this just to become a hacker…

Chen Zhou was truly amazed by what he had seen, but he was also touched by Huang Mao's sincerity.

Putting everything else aside, their spirit is commendable!

Chen Zhou said, "This isn't about a few hundred yuan per hour."

Luo Fei said, "You still think the money isn't enough."

Chen Zhou was speechless for two seconds, finding himself somewhat at a loss for words.

Isn't it just that you didn't pay enough? Is it meaningful for you to keep increasing the price by 100 each time?

Even if I raise the price to 1000 yuan per hour, I would still need to teach you 200 hours of classes to earn 20 yuan.

How the hell am I, a senior high school student, supposed to find so much free time?

It also depends on your schedule!

How many months will it take?!

By the time I get there, it might be too late to start a project with the initial funding!

However, Chen Zhou quickly realized that this blond-haired guy named Luo Fei, who looked to be about the same age as him, already owned a large internet cafe, which meant that his family background and connections were probably quite good.

Even if I don't want to earn the hard-earned money of teaching him hacking skills, I can still get him to invest!

When Chen Zhou started his own business before, he also raised investment and knew the importance of relationships and emotional appeals in the process.

Chen Zhou helped Luo Fei to his feet and said with a smile, "Dude, this really isn't about money. To be honest, I'm still in my senior year of high school, and I don't have much time to teach you on weekdays."

Luo Fei asked in surprise, "Huh? You're still in high school?"

Chen Zhou said, "That's not important. What's important is that I have limited time. But I can see that you genuinely want to learn hacking techniques. How about this, I'll teach you when I have time, and I won't charge you a penny. Consider it as us becoming friends, okay?"

Upon hearing that Chen Zhou had changed his mind—not only would he teach him hacking techniques for free, but they would also become friends—Luo Fei's expression immediately changed, and he exclaimed happily, "Great! Master, I love making friends! Especially making friends with someone as awesome as you!"

Luo Fei paused for a moment, then suddenly suggested, "How about this, let's not just be friends, let's become sworn brothers?"

Chen Zhou let out a shout of "Ah!", which was somewhat unexpected.

Luo Fei said, "Master, if you become my brother, you definitely won't regret it! From now on, if anyone in the area around this internet cafe dares to mess with you, just mention my name, and I'll protect you! Besides, I'll be your little brother, and you can be my big brother, how about that?"

“…………”

Chen Zhou muttered to himself, "This actually works???" He thought for a moment, then nodded, "It works!"

Luo Fei was overjoyed and immediately pulled Chen Zhou to worship Cyber ​​Guan Gong together.

They became sworn brothers.

Luo Fei then learned Chen Zhou's name and some details about him. He immediately became very familiar with him and said, "Brother Zhou, so you're from Haitang Middle School? I have a cousin who's also from Haitang Middle School and is in her final year of high school. I'll introduce you to her sometime."

Chen Zhou smiled and shook his head, saying, "No, I'm not interested in girls."

"Ah?!" Luo Fei's anus suddenly tightened, and he sighed.

Chen Zhou quickly replied, "What I mean is, I'm not interested in girls for now; I'm only interested in making money."

"Oh, I see..." Luo Fei breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and then asked, "Brother Zhou, are you short of money?"

Chen Zhou was stunned for a moment, then suddenly felt very annoyed. Damn it! Who doesn't need money? You rich kids are a bad influence!

Chen Zhou said, "It's not that I'm short of money, but I have a project that will make a lot of money, and now I just need some start-up capital."

Chen Zhou's hint was quite clear, and Luo Fei, intrigued, quickly pressed, "What project?"

Chen Zhou said, "You're not investing, so why are you asking so many questions?"

Luo Fei said, "Brother Zhou, how can you be so sure I won't invest?"

Chen Zhou was secretly pleased that the other party was about to take the bait, but feigned suspicion and asked, "You're going to throw it in?"

Luo Fei made an "uh" sound, then asked, "How much money do you want to invest?"

Chen Zhou held up two fingers and said casually, "The start-up capital only needs to be 20."

"20?!" Luo Fei exclaimed in surprise, "That much?!"

Chen Zhou didn't understand and asked doubtfully, "No, this whole internet cafe is yours, and you still think it's only a little over 20?"

Luo Fei explained, "Brother Zhou, this internet cafe belongs to my parents. I'm just keeping an eye on it for them. I have some money, but only enough for living expenses."

"…………" Chen Zhou was speechless again.

Damn it! This cyber-Guan Yu worship was done so carelessly!

However, Chen Zhou is a very loyal and trustworthy person. Since he had become sworn brothers with Luo Fei and promised to teach him hacking skills, Chen Zhou would not go back on his word.

No longer dwelling on the matter of attracting investment, Chen Zhou changed the subject, saying, "Brother Fei..."

"Brother Zhou, didn't we agree? You're the older brother, and I'm the younger brother," Luo Fei corrected.

Chen Zhou chuckled, nodded, and addressed him by his name, "Luo Fei, didn't you want to learn hacking techniques? I'll show you right now how to solve Microsoft's black screen problem."

Luo Fei's eyes lit up: "Really? Brother Zhou, then I'm honored to have the opportunity to broaden my horizons again!"

Then, Chen Zhou wrote an interface program in front of Luo Fei, and connected it to the internet cafe's management system, which quickly solved the black screen problem for all the computers in the internet cafe.

Luo Fei felt as if he had seen a celestial being when he saw Chen Zhou. This was something Microsoft had created, and Brother Zhou had resolved it so easily?

The internet cafe girl was completely dumbfounded. She never expected that the customer who had just wanted to roll up his sleeves and fight her would become the boss's brother... no, he became the boss's older brother!

Technician Zhang felt ashamed. He felt that after living for more than 30 years and repairing computers for more than 10 years, he was still not as good as a high school student!

In the time that followed, Chen Zhou recommended some geek technology forums to Luo Fei and carefully designed a learning path for Luo Fei from beginner to expert in hacking techniques, explaining it to him in a heartfelt manner.

In this moment, Chen Zhou's sincerity won over Luo Fei completely.

After Chen Zhou explained the technical learning outline and roadmap to Luo Fei, giving him a basic understanding, he patted Luo Fei on the shoulder and said with a smile, "If you encounter any technical problems you don't understand, you can ask the seniors in various forums, or you can come directly to me. I will answer your questions whenever I have time."

Luo Fei gave an "OK" sign and said emotionally, "Brother Zhou, you're practically my half-brother!"

Chen Zhou smiled, glanced at the time, and realized that it was almost six o'clock in the afternoon.

He added, "It's getting late, I have to go back to school for evening self-study, I'm leaving now."

Luo Fei expressed his understanding, saying, "Brother Zhou, you too! Whether it's on or off campus, if you encounter any trouble, just tell me. I'll go through fire and water for you! I can't guarantee anything from other brothers, but getting dozens of them to back you up is definitely no problem!"

Chen Zhou smiled and said, "I understand."

Through his interactions with Luo Fei, he also learned roughly what kind of person Luo Fei was.

Besides being the young master of an internet cafe and a rich second-generation, this guy is also the leader of a group of thugs.

However, he was different from other gang leaders. While the others would lead their underlings to smoke, drink, fight, and brawl, Luo Fei would gather his underlings together to play games and even set up teams and guilds.

Although Luo Fei and his gang didn't cause trouble, they weren't afraid of trouble either, and they had made a name for themselves in the surrounding streets.

Chen Zhou was "not one for fighting," so he gave his brother a perfunctory reply and left the internet cafe to go back to school.

……

Around 6 PM, at Haitang Middle School.

Chen Zhou was stopped by someone as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the senior high school building.

She wasn't some kind of bully or school thug, but rather a round-faced girl who looked somewhat familiar.

"Chen Zhou, did you bully Yang Qian yesterday?" the round-faced girl demanded sternly. "What right did you have to hit her?!"

Chen Zhou remembered that the round-faced girl was his class monitor in high school, named Fu Ying.

She's not a bad person and often stands up for her classmates, but she's not very bright; she believes whatever others say.

Chen Zhou smiled and said casually, "Class monitor, are you trying to get justice for Yang Qian?"

"Obviously!" Fu Ying said earnestly.

Chen Zhou asked, "So what did she tell you?"

Fu Ying said, "Yang Qian said her phone was broken and she wanted to borrow money from you to buy a new one. Not only did you refuse to lend her the money, but you also slapped her in public."

Chen Zhou asked, "Anything else?"

Fu Ying thought for a moment, then shook her head. "That's all."

Chen Zhou smiled, put his hands in his pockets, and said unhurriedly, "That's it? Didn't Yang Qian tell you why she got slapped?"

Fu Ying shook her head. "No."

Chen Zhou said, "Then think about it, would a person who is mentally sound slap another person for no reason?"

Fu Ying shook her head again, "Of course not! I'm not mentally ill!"

Chen Zhou asked, "Do you think I'm mentally ill?"

Looking at Chen Zhou's handsome face and his bright, intelligent eyes, Fu Ying still shook her head, "No."

Chen Zhou laughed and said, "That's right, I'm not mentally ill, how could I slap Yang Qian for no reason? It must be Yang Qian's own problem! So, class monitor, you need to find out the reason before you come here to question her."

Fu Ying looked bewildered, as if what he said made some sense. She wanted to ask more questions, but Chen Zhou had already gone up to the second floor.

Passing by Class 9, Chen Zhou didn't see Xia Yu and felt a little disappointed.

Wait, why am I feeling down?
