Rebirth 08: A Happy Life Begins in Elementary School

Li Zhao felt that he might have some misunderstandings about elementary school students' pocket money, especially after using the red envelope method...

"You didn't bring all your previous New Year's money, did you?"

He Shuyao stared directly at her, "What's wrong?"

"There's no need."

"Isn't this the spare money you mentioned?"

"Yes."

"This is spare money."

How much money do you have left?

He Shuyao seemed surprised by Li Zhao's question and became stammering.

"I...I didn't calculate it either. I kept a few hundred yuan for my mom to buy a gift. I didn't give you the change, but I'll give you the hundred-yuan bill first."

Now that things have come to this, refusing again would only betray her trust.

"Then you have to promise me one thing."

"Um?"

He Shuyao was puzzled as to why the person who lent her the money had to promise her something.

Are you going to eat and take some with you?

"The money will double in two months, to twelve thousand dollars, and you can't take a penny less."

He Shuyao paused for a moment, then suddenly frowned, as if she had a burst of anger that she didn't know where to vent. She quickly walked to the tree pit and walked around it again, walking faster and faster, with each step becoming heavier.

Finally, "da da" stomped its feet twice in front of Li Zhao.

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know, but what you said just made me feel a little uncomfortable."

Li Zhao was bewildered. "What's so uncomfortable about that?"

"I just feel like you're trying to settle accounts on your own. Does it really bother you that much to owe me a favor?"

The little girl is very clever.

This is Li Zhao's comfort zone. "The nature of this is different, Shuyao. When you lent me money, it was out of thin air, an emergency measure, a basic necessity. When I give you money back, it's just a reward. No matter how much I give you, the favor I owe you will always remain, and I will always remember it."

"...He speaks with such eloquence."

"Don't overthink it, this is what you deserve. Consider it my New Year's money for you."

He Shuyao shook her head vigorously, her long ponytail swaying back and forth.

"What do you mean by lucky money? You're not my elder."

"Why not, little Shuyao?"

"You!" He Shuyao stomped her foot again, but couldn't help but smile.

Teasing her is actually quite fun.

On their way back, He Shuyao suddenly asked, "Li Zhao, why can't we use red envelopes? Is it because I'm not your mother?"

What kind of thunderous questioning style is that, girl?

"The red envelope is too conspicuous; it's obvious there's money inside. We only chose a time when no one was around. If there were other people, wouldn't it just be telling them you're giving me money?"

Although He Shuyao didn't actually understand, she sensed from Li Zhao's tone that it seemed to be a very important issue.

"What should we do then?"

"Use an envelope," Li Zhao said. "Envelopes usually contain letters or written materials. Even if you hand it to me directly in class, no one else can really tell what's inside."

"How did you know you could even send money in an envelope?"

These are the boring rules of the adult world.

"I've read novels that have written about it."

After taking two more steps, He Shuyao suddenly stopped, her expression a mixture of realization and nervousness.

"What's wrong?"

"I... my dad often receives envelopes, and I thought he had a pen pal or something, could it be...?"

cough!

Li Zhao coughed suddenly.

"Shuyao, just because an envelope can hold money doesn't mean it can only hold money..."

"Oh right, I just lost my mind for a moment."

Judging from her past life, He Shuyao's father, who was a bureau chief, should be fine. He was able to retire peacefully from his position as the top leader in the provincial capital's construction system, so it's safe to say that he was upright and honest.

Back in the classroom, Li Zhao stuffed the red envelope into his schoolbag and asked He Shuyao to keep an eye on it. Then he jogged off to find Huang Keyun.

Huang Keyun was stretching when she saw Li Zhao appear and immediately straightened her posture.

The office was very quiet at noon today. On the one hand, it was the end of the month, and the teachers who were promoted had a lunchtime tea party. On the other hand, it was Monday, and the teachers were actually quite tired, so many of them went to the lounge.

If Li Zhao hadn't mentioned in advance that he would need the laptop on Monday, Huang Keyun would have been dozing off by now.

"Li Zhao, what exactly do you want to do with the computer?" Huang Keyun asked in a low voice.

"Can we keep this a secret from the teacher?"

"Yes... of course you can, but you can't do weird things on the teacher's computer."

"..." Li Zhao was so speechless that he didn't even know how to make a sarcastic remark.

Huang Keyun's laptop is very bulky and has poor performance; it's purely a basic office computer.

The first thing you see when you open it is a classic background and a clean desktop so clean that there isn't even a browser icon.

"Teacher..." Li Zhao said softly, "I'm actually afraid to use it now. I need to search for and download software using a browser. Can I just open the browser directly?"

"...Okay, can you open the default one? The one that doesn't open as a website navigation page."

"No problem, why don't you open it for me? Just open the Baidu page and I'll search."

"it is good."

Damn, using a computer is like defusing a bomb?

Li Zhao had a pretty good idea of ​​what Huang Keyun was refusing to show him.

It's most likely a website bookmark; she doesn't want to clear it out, but she also doesn't want Li Zhao to discover some of her hobbies.

As for what kind of hobby it is, there's a lot of room for imagination.

Stop your adult fantasies, Li Zhao.

A very clean search page appeared, and Li Zhao officially began the process.

Download the Great Wisdom platform, install it, log in, search...

The most time-consuming part is waiting for the installation.

This computer is really barely clinging to life.

Soon, Yuan Nong Gao Ke's data appeared in front of Li Zhao.

It's dropped, and it's been falling all the way down; the stock price is now in the 14 yuan range.

Today is March 31st, and it's not even April yet. This stock is said to have "fallen to its lowest point in April," which means it will fall for at least a few more days.

In 08, stock trading software was not integrated enough. In addition to the platform for viewing market data, Li Zhao had to open another trading software.

Setting a price limit of 14 yuan for the order should be considered a relatively prudent decision.

However, the money isn't in place yet; the official operation will begin tomorrow.

Li Zhao noted down some data, then promptly logged out and returned the computer to Huang Keyun.

"Is that all?"

"Yes, I never use the computer for very long."

"Every time?" Huang Keyun frowned.

"We'll need to borrow it again later. Thank you, Teacher Huang!"

"Wait, wait, how many times do you need to use it?"

How many times can a first-place prize in a national competition be won?

Huang Keyun's expression changed rapidly, and she finally gave in, "Anytime is fine with me, whatever..."

She really had no way to deal with Li Zhao.

On the way home from school that day, Chen Nian kept complaining about how uneventful the day had been, saying that everyone was experiencing spring drowsiness. Then he heard Li Zhao say:

Do you want your allowance to double?

Chen Nian immediately perked up.

"What? What?"

"I have an opportunity for you. If you lend me money today, I will give you double the amount in two months."

If Li Zhao said this twenty years later, he would be arrested for fraud.

"Okay, okay, how much do you want?"

Chen Nian's excessive innocence almost made Li Zhao lose his composure. He had originally planned to take this opportunity to educate Chen Nian about finance and give him a basic introduction.

"No, Lao Jiu, you need to understand, this is called investment. It's not about how much I want from you, but how much you are willing to invest."

"I don't know, I can't use my New Year's money."

That was a truly sad thing for Chen Nian.

"Wait, why don't you have any doubts at all? This is double the return, is that reasonable?"

"Isn't that unreasonable?"

Well, elementary school students really don't understand.

"Aren't you worried that I'm lying to you?"

Would you lie to me?

"Won't."

"That's settled then. I'll check tonight to see how much pocket money I have and lend it to you tomorrow."

Li Zhao was defeated.
