The back gate of the university faces a long street.
Fang knew beforehand that this street was a food street, but it wasn't just about food.
And there's the internet cafe she needs.
She put on a convincing act, making it seem like the distance from where she parked the car to the back gate of A University was short on the map, but in reality, it would take about twenty minutes to walk there. At first, she realized she could run a bit, but the weather in Beijing was no joke; the sun was blazing, and she soon became so hot that she couldn't breathe, so she had to slow down.
As I walked, I casually snapped a few photos of the buildings and flowers and shared them with Liu Siyi. The moment the photos were sent, a phone call came in from the other end.
"Zhizhi, why did you post all those pictures?"
Fang Zhi's cherry-pink lips curved into a slight smile as she softly said, "I'm at A University."
Holy crap?! Hallucination?!
Liu Siyi suddenly jumped up from the sofa, earning a glare from her mother. She stuck her tongue out at her mother and said into the phone, "Wait a minute!"
She ran towards the bedroom as she spoke.
After closing the door, Liu Siyi couldn't wait to ask a series of questions, "What's going on? Where are you going now? Have you changed your college application? Are you planning to move directly to A University?"
Fang Zhi told me on the phone that her brother had suddenly brought her to Beijing yesterday and what her plans were.
"I'm so nervous! So nervous!" Liu Siyi held the phone in one hand and clutched her chest with the other. "Right now, what's more tense than the relationship between a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is how nervous I am about you, Fang Zhi!"
Have you found an internet cafe?
As he crossed the pedestrian walkway, Fang Zhi glanced at the security booth. "I just walked out of the back gate of A University."
"OK, OK!" Liu Siyi clenched her fist excitedly. "I understand! Victory is in the bag. You take care of the important matter first; I can't hold you back. Let me know when you're done!"
As they spoke, they realized they had arrived at the food street across the street. "Okay," she agreed, her clear, bright eyes carefully scanning the shops on both sides, afraid of missing the internet cafe.
The food street is about 500 meters long, and most of the food stalls were closed.
Only after walking quickly to the end did I find the internet cafe.
The internet cafe is a two-story building. The first floor is neither too big nor too small. The bar is just a few steps away from the entrance.
Because the students were on holiday, Fang Zhichao glanced at the computer area and saw only a few scattered customers.
She walked to the counter, stood still, and politely greeted the male receptionist who was playing on his phone, "Hello, I'm here to use the internet."
The receptionist kept her head down as if she hadn't heard anything.
Fang Zhi tapped lightly on the bar counter with his fingers. "Hello?"
The male receptionist slowly looked away from his phone screen, and when he saw the girl's pretty and innocent face, he was stunned for a moment, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes.
"Did you bring your ID card?"
Fang Zhi was also taken aback, only then remembering that she had left her ID card with her brother when she arrived.
Seeing that the girl didn't speak, the receptionist guessed what was going on.
He smiled apologetically, "Miss, I'm sorry, we can't access the internet here without an ID card."
Fang Zhi panicked upon hearing this, as this was her only chance, and the application deadline was today.
She leaned her upper body towards the bar, her voice urgent and pleading, "But I have something very important to do, it won't take too long, could you please turn on a machine for me?"
No man can resist the plea for help from a gentle and charming woman. The male receptionist was not old, and when he saw the girl's brimming eyes as if she was about to cry, he couldn't help but soften.
"How about this?" The receptionist thought for a moment, "Are you an adult? If you are, I'll ask our boss if we can make an exception for you."
"Mainly because it's summer vacation now, and primary and secondary school students are also on holiday, they're afraid that minors will come to internet cafes, so the checks in Beijing are even stricter. If our boss agrees, I can use my ID card to set up a machine for you."
Upon hearing this, as if he had survived a calamity, he quickly replied:
"Thank you!"
The receptionist smiled and scratched her head, "No...you're welcome."
Three minutes later.
"Greetings, beautiful lady." The receptionist seemed a little embarrassed. "Our boss said he could make an exception and open a machine for you, but the price would be higher."
Fang Zhi was taken aback. "How much do you want?"
The receptionist hesitated and held up a few fingers.
Seeing his troubled expression, Fang Zhi secretly gasped, and asked, on the verge of tears, "Is it five thousand or fifty thousand?"
"No, no, no..." The receptionist was startled by her words and stammered, "How can it be that much? It's 50, 50 an hour."
Fang Zhi breathed a sigh of relief without making it obvious; she was terrified. She pulled out a red banknote and handed it to the cashier, saying, "Here's your money."
As the receptionist gave the girl her change, she thought to herself:
What a pretty young girl, but she seems a bit slow on the uptake. Even if she's never been to an internet cafe, she should at least have some common sense about money.
What does five thousand or fifty thousand mean?
Five thousand would get the boss to personally greet her, and fifty thousand would get the boss to stand next to her and serve her tea and water.
Even if she's the kind of person who gets utterly destroyed in games, the boss will still praise her to the skies.
Fang Zhi opened his computer and logged into the volunteer page, while the man on the other side was almost at his destination.
Qi Shen drove the car from the old house; its license plate, starting with "京A" (Beijing A), had a special status, allowing the car to pass without any obstacles. It was Friday, not a rest day, and during working hours, so there weren't many other vehicles blocking the road. He drove at full speed, and it took him less than half an hour to get from the foot of the old city to A University.
