Chapter 12: The Arrogant Ruffian
Usually in class, Lorraine does not "tease" Lan Lan, Lan Lan has a deep understanding of Lorraine's little cheekiness, but Lorraine's words make Lan Lan's heart sweet.
"Fate...... Heaven is destined to ...... This stinky guy has to say something that makes people blush every time they meet. ”
Seeing that Lan Lan was silent, Lorraine smiled and changed the topic: "Lan Lan, what are you doing here?" Why don't you be a homebody girl at home for a few days during the eleventh long holiday? ”
Lan Lan pointed to the alley: "I'm here to surf the Internet, my home is near the school......" After a pause, she seemed to be a little unspeakable, "I don't have a computer at home, so if I want to surf the Internet, I can only go to the Internet café......"
Lorraine suddenly realized that Lan Lan's family background was very ordinary, and even a little poor, and she had some inferiority complex in the city where the children of rich families were rampant. As for not having a computer at home, this is also understandable. Seeing Lan Lan's appearance of bowing her head and not daring to face Lorraine at this time, Lorraine couldn't help but be a little careful.
Alas, this little girl, her heart is as pure and immaculate as her appearance. In the future, I will definitely be bullied when I go to society, no, no, how can I watch such a good girl be spoiled by a world full of copper smell? In the future, Master Ben will cover you!
Lorraine avoided embarrassment and said: "What a coincidence, I also came to surf the Internet, you see, I said that we are destined, right?" ”
"Huh? It's true? Don't you have a computer at home? ”
This Nizi...... Net asks this non-nutritious question......
"Oh, my house has a power outage today, so I'm out to surf the Internet...... Lorraine's voice changed, "But Lan Lan, we may not be able to access the Internet today, and the Internet cafes around the school are full." ”
Lan Lan smiled when she heard this: "Hehe, I'm not afraid." As he spoke, he took out a small card from his small bag, "There is a small Internet café in the alley, and few people go there to surf the Internet, and it only costs one dollar an hour." I signed up for a membership, and I paid five cents an hour, isn't it a good deal? ”
Small internet café? How did I not know?
A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Lorraine's heart, and he immediately smiled: "The relationship is good, then I bother you to lead the way, Lan Lan, let's go to this Internet café to surf the Internet together." ”
Lan Lan nodded with a red face, didn't say anything, and walked in front to lead the way.
It was the first time she had been online with a boy...... Does this count as dating? Although this date is a bit casual...... But maybe it's really like what the bad guy said, it's fate? ……
The two of them walked into the Internet café that Lan Lan said one after the other.
After entering the inside, Lorraine suddenly understood why the fees here were so low, and there were so few people coming. At first glance, there are no more than 20 computers with uneven configurations, concrete floors, old white paint on earthen walls, two light bulbs randomly pulled on the roof of the house emit dim light, no air conditioning is installed, only a "creaking" old ceiling fan is laboriously circling. There is also no business license hanging in the house. The customers of the Internet café are also of different ages, ranging from high school or vocational high school students to children, and some middle-aged people in shabby clothes.
To put it simply, this is a cheap black internet café for the poor.
A middle-aged woman who looked like a network administrator was in good shape, sitting at a square wooden table similar to a bar, holding a puff fan in her hand and fanning it from time to time, and the beads of sweat on her forehead kept oozing out.
"Lan Lan, here?"
Seeing Lan Lan and Lorraine coming in, the middle-aged woman actually took the initiative to greet each other enthusiastically.
"Well, good afternoon Aunt Zhang, this is my membership card." Lan Lan placed the membership card on the table.
Aunt Zhang hurriedly waved her hand: "Lan Lan, how many times has Auntie said it, whether you come here with a membership card or not, I will charge you according to the membership price." As he spoke, he took Lan Lan's membership card, registered it in the notebook and handed it to Lan Lan.
Lan Lan took the membership card with a smile: "It's okay, it's just a card, and it doesn't take much trouble to carry it with you." …… Oh, by the way, Aunt Zhang, this is my classmate, he has a power outage at home today, so he can only come out to surf the Internet, and open a machine for him too, count it on my membership card. ”
Aunt Zhang turned her eyes to Lorraine when she heard this, her eyes were open, and she could see at a glance that Lorraine was not from a poor family, so why did she come to this Internet café to surf the Internet. It is estimated that the Internet cafes outside are full, but no matter how you look at him, he is not a poor person, how can he still treat the little girl from Lanlan's house? It can't be a little emotional liar, right?
Thinking about it, Aunt Zhang didn't answer Lan Lan's words for a long time.
Lorraine had been observing the environment of the Internet café on the side, and did not speak, at this time, looking at Aunt Zhang's eyes, how could she not understand the meaning, and immediately stepped forward, took out two hundred bills and said to Aunt Zhang: "Auntie, one hundred will give me a membership, and the other hundred will be recharged to Lan Lan's membership card." ”
Aunt Zhang was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes shone brightly, two hundred yuan! That's not a small amount of income for this dilapidated black Internet café.
"Okay!" Aunt Zhang quickly took the two hundred yuan and put it in the drawer, then simply registered and handed the membership card to Lorraine, "Young man, you and Lan Lan are on it to your heart's content, it's only five cents an hour!" ”
"......" Lorraine was speechless for a moment, what did this fat aunt say, what did Lan Lan and I say to the fullest, what is only five cents an hour, how easy it is to misunderstand.
Aunt Zhang was stunned as soon as she finished speaking, obviously noticing the fault in her words. Fortunately, the party Lan Lan is simple-minded, and she can't think of crooked places at all.
Lan Lan blushed and hurriedly said, "Lorraine, how can you spend so much money to charge me ......?"
Before Lorraine could speak, Aunt Zhang hurriedly pointed to the two rows of computers in front of her, as if she was worried that Lorraine would regret it: "Young man, it's ready for you, one is No. 8 and the other is No. 9." ”
Lorraine nodded, couldn't help but speak, and directly took Lan Lan's little hand and walked forward.
Lan Lan didn't break free. Uh, well, yes she doesn't want to break free. She only felt a warm and thick palm instantly wrapping her tender hand, which was a little cold Xiaoice all year round, and soon came to the empty plane, but helplessly found that the only two empty machines in the cabin, although they were serial, were a little far away.
Lorraine shrugged helplessly, smiled at Lan Lan, and then walked to the No. 9 machine.
Lan Lan sat on the No. 8 machine with a hot face, her heart and liver pounding.
This stinky guy...... Unexpectedly...... actually held someone's hand, and my mother said that girls can't hold hands with boys casually...... Am I a very casual girl...... Thinking of this, Lan Lan actually felt a little ashamed, as if he was being held by Lorraine and seduced by himself.
Lan Lan, Lan Lan, why didn't you let go of him holding your hand just now?
But...... His hands are so warm, so big, and the faint smell of tobacco on his body smells so good......
At this time, Lan Lan was conflicted in her heart, and even divided into two tangled camps, but on the surface, she looked at the computer screen in a daze, looking like a girl with a spring in her heart.
In fact, her affection for Lorraine was hazy until a month or two, and all she liked was the sinister smile on Lorraine's face from time to time. And in the last month or so, she found that Lorraine's temperament has completely changed and has become very attractive, like a mysterious black hole, which makes people involuntarily want to fall in. It seems to be getting worse, and it seems to be less bad......
Lorraine was like someone who was fine. Sitting in front of the computer, casually browsing the news, I began to think of the idea of this black Internet café. Although there are less than 20 machines in this Internet café, the configuration is basically OK, and it can run the current popular online games, if you decorate it well, make it a little more formal, even if the area is smaller, it doesn't matter, there will definitely be more people to surf the Internet, after all, this is also a prime location around the school. It's just that the price is cheaper than those Internet cafes outside.
Most of the small and medium-sized Internet cafes outside charge 2 to 3 yuan per hour, and after membership, it is 1 yuan or 1.5 yuan per hour. At that time, it can be priced according to the amount of investment, in short, the membership price must be less than 1 yuan, small profits but quick turnover.
I still have more than 40,000 pocket money in my card now, and if I scrape together a little bit of shares, I should be able to take down this Internet café. As long as it does not exceed 60,000 yuan, it is quite reasonable. The point is, if you renovate it, it will cost you a lot of money. On the whole, if you want to renovate this Internet café, you need at least 100,000 yuan, which is still a conservative estimate.
The question is...... Who to find a small share?
After thinking about it, there was only one name in Lorraine's mind: Qin Wanshu.
But now the relationship between the two is a little unclear, and Lorraine doesn't want to talk to her for the time being, so who should she turn to? ……
Lorraine straightened up deeply and rubbed her temples.
"Haha, eldest sister, so idle? Have you eaten? ”
At this moment, three yellow-haired men suddenly walked in at the door, giggling and walking towards Sister Zhang, the owner of the Internet café.
When Sister Zhang looked at it, a trace of fear flashed in her eyes, and she forced a smile and said: "Three big brothers, this, this is just the beginning of the month, the National Day holiday, and there are few people who come to the Internet, you see...... Can you slow down for a few days? ”
"No, no, no."
The leader immediately shook his hand: "This is not in accordance with the rules, you should know, all the stores around this school that do not have formal business procedures are not ordered to close by the relevant departments because of our Brother Long's cover, if you say that you don't pay taxes, then brother I can't stand it, I will report to Brother Long when I go back today, I dare not say whether there are relevant departments to seal the store in the past two days." ”
Sister Zhang's face changed in surprise when she heard this, and she hurriedly opened the drawer, and all the red tickets were pulled out.
"Big brother, there's only so much for the time being."
Huang Mao, the leader, smiled proudly, snatched the red banknotes, and smacked his lips: "Why is it only 400?" That's 100 years away! ”
Sister Zhang looked embarrassed: "That's really it, if someone hadn't charged 200 yuan as a member today, I wouldn't even be able to take out the 400 yuan." ”
At this time, the people around who were surfing the Internet all turned their heads when they saw this situation, and they didn't dare to look at the three yellow hairs on the computer. Lan Lan often surfed the Internet here, but this was the first time she had encountered this situation, and she was staring at the three yellow hairs with two watery eyes.
"Yo? Fresh. ”
The yellow-haired eyes of the leader noticed the angry gaze projected by Lan Lan, and the thief smiled: "Such a rotten Internet café, there is still such a watery little girl, I said little sister, do you see what I do, do you think that my brother is heroic and tall, and wants to have a shot with me at night?" ”
"Hahaha! ……”
The other two yellow hairs laughed with Yin.
