Chapter 65 Amway Big Customer
It's a pity that Lu Yusheng's building only has two floors. It wasn't designed with an elevator included, and Lu Yusheng himself wouldn't spend money to buy an elevator for just a few stairs.
Therefore, when Lin Pingzhi came to see the room, the middle-aged man who accompanied him had to carry him up.
Hua Manlou lagged behind, silently tidying up his makeshift wheelchair and lifting it up lightly.
Lu Yusheng naturally led the way. Currently, Hua Manlou and Sikong Zhaixing were still staying in the shop, and the only empty room left was the one left by Feng Qingyang.
The middle-aged man needed to take care of Lin Pingzhi, so it was naturally more convenient for him to stay in the same room.
Senior Feng didn't bring much with him when he arrived, and he didn't stay indoors much during the few days he stayed there. In his spare time, he would use his lightness skill to go into the city with Sikong Zhaixing to buy wine.
So even though I didn't tidy up the place before leaving, the interior is still quite clean.
The computer desk and chair were clearly unused, but the bed had been slept in and was now slightly messy.
She simply took a brand new set of mattresses from her room's closet and replaced the old ones entirely.
Now that the snow had stopped, the windows could be opened for ventilation, and with a little tidying up, Lu Yusheng looked quite presentable.
However, what truly satisfied Lin Pingzhi was the "restroom," which he hadn't had time to examine closely when considering potential partners last time.
He was a little uneasy when he was told the meaning of the item, but when he saw the toilet shape and Sikong Zhaixing explained it to him, he understood how convenient the design was.
The person his father could trust to take care of him was naturally a reliable old hand from the escort agency. How could a young man like him be worthy of being served by an old escort who had risked his life alongside his father?
Therefore, even if there were any needs along the way, they would usually ask the other party to drop them off by the roadside and only resolve the issue hastily after the other party had gone far away.
Now there are convenient places to use the toilet both upstairs and downstairs, and the handwashing mechanism is right next to it. In addition, although his legs are badly injured and he can't use them, they are not really useless. He can use the strength of his upper limbs to solve the problem of going to the toilet by himself.
After everyone had left, Lin Pingzhi smiled at the man beside him and said politely, "Chief镖师 Cui, you've seen the situation. This is indeed a good place. There's no need to be too nervous."
Upon hearing this, the head镖师 (bodyguard/escort) surnamed Cui simply nodded silently. Although he didn't say anything on the surface, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He had always been a man of integrity. Although the chief镖头 (chief镖头, a term for a bodyguard or镖头) had been incredibly kind to him, and he would naturally go through fire and water for him, it was still strange for a grown man like him to take care of the young镖头 to this extent.
After Lu Yusheng finished clearing the table, he strolled back to the bar and left his computer running. Although Hua Manlou couldn't play games, he had found himself a task to practice wood carving. He was fully immersed in it, and the time passed easily.
Sikong Zhaixing no longer had many concerns. Since Xiaolu couldn't find the time to play with him, he sat down at the table in a bright spot and started playing rhythm games.
Lu Yusheng, who was spacing out at the bar, suddenly remembered the silver coins he had casually stuffed into his pockets that morning. He couldn't help but take them out, spread them out on the table, and count them.
There were no silver notes inside, but some silver ingots, some in smaller quantities. She didn't have a scale, so she couldn't determine the exact weight, but the system displayed the specific value after feeding them to her.
Fifty-six taels.
Lu Yusheng's eyelids twitched. The majority of this money came from Lin Pingzhi. Was this kid really that wealthy?
Although it couldn't compare to the thousand taels Zhu Ting had given them before, it still far exceeded the value of the service itself. And judging from their very satisfied expressions afterward, they didn't feel that the money was too much at all.
She sighed, feeling as if she had encountered the foolish son of a landlord.
He was now stuck indoors with the middle-aged man who had been with him. It must have been incredibly boring. Lu Yusheng thought for a moment, then his gaze fell on the empty computer next to Sikong Zhaixing.
Business will probably be even harder in winter. If there are a few more snowfalls, there will be even fewer pedestrians on the road. There's no need to insist on keeping so many empty computers downstairs.
Moreover, the internet cafe is her main business, and the guest rooms they sleep in are all converted from private rooms, so they should be developing potential customers in that area.
Thinking of this, Lu Yusheng got up and walked outside again. Although Hua Manlou was immersed in carving, he noticed the commotion and silently slowed down his movements.
Sikong Zhaixing was at a crucial moment in the game and didn't have time to peek out when he heard the noise. He didn't pay much attention to it at first, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw Lu Yusheng stop what he was doing and silently watch the game from the side, as if waiting for him to finish.
He suddenly became serious, and his previously carefree attitude turned into a serious one. Even though the progress bar was already halfway through, his highly focused actions in the later stages made the time seem to drag on.
Looking back, Lu Yusheng was indeed still waiting beside him. He guessed that the other party must have something to ask him, so he took the initiative to ask, "What's wrong?"
Compared to Hua Manlou, who appears "weak" and is focused on wood carving, Lu Yusheng would definitely prefer to ask Sikong Zhaixing for help.
This isn't a matter of familiarity; if you had to put it in perspective, her mindset at this moment is more like that of a mother facing two sons.
When one child is developing a hobby and the other is playing video games, parents are more likely to interrupt the one playing.
So he asked in a pleading tone, "Could you do me a favor later?"
"Okay, what should we do?"
Since she was so earnest in asking him for help, Sikong Zhaixing naturally agreed, though he still had some doubts about the details.
Lu Yusheng, however, had already started unplugging the computer's various power and network cables. As he casually disassembled the computer, he said, "Help me move this computer to Xiaolin's room."
"Why do we suddenly need to move this?" Sikong Zhaixing asked, puzzled. He couldn't understand these strange circuits, and Lu Yusheng wouldn't let him touch them either. At this moment, he could only watch from the side with his hands tucked in.
“Xiao Lin must be bored up there all by himself, so I’m going to install a computer for him.”
"What's so boring... Didn't he bring storybooks? Besides, he has someone to keep him company up there, right?"
Although Sikong Zhaixing was also somewhat indignant about the other party's situation, it was difficult for him to consider things as much as Lu Yusheng did.
Lu Yusheng shook his head as he listened to his words, and said earnestly, "Even if he did, it wouldn't help to relieve boredom. That guy has a square face and doesn't smile. He hasn't said a word to us for so long. He doesn't look like someone who can chat with people."
Upon hearing this, Sikong Zhaixing merely raised an eyebrow and agreed to take on this arduous task.
While waiting, Lu Yusheng said again, "If you have time later, please buy some more medicinal wine for me."
As she spoke, she packed the loose parts into a cardboard box and added, "His wheelchair doesn't look very professional either. After you buy the medicinal wine, could you also look for something to lubricate the wheel axles?"
"Okay..." Just as she responded, Sikong Zhaixing, for some reason, turned around and looked at her suspiciously.
Lu Yusheng felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze and subconsciously asked, "What's wrong?"
Sikong Zhaixing didn't want to talk about it, but seeing that she had asked, she still said, "I feel like you're paying a little too much attention to that kid."
And why is he called "Xiao Lin"? Isn't the "Xiao" generation name exclusive to him and Lu Yusheng?
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt, especially the boy's striking and unforgettable appearance, which gave him an inexplicable sense of crisis.
Finally, he blurted out without thinking, "You wouldn't have fallen for him just because he's good-looking..."
Sikong Zhaixing couldn't continue after that. Damn it, when did he ever say something so pretentious?
Love is a truly monstrous thing, it has turned him into this state.
Sikong Zhaixing, regaining his senses, wanted to slap himself, but the person in front of him was looking at him with a hesitant expression. After a long pause, he said very seriously, "He's still a child. Don't make such ethical jokes."
He fell silent, his mind still reeling from his outrageous statement, and for a moment he forgot to reply.
Hua Manlou walked over at some point and said gently, "If it's inconvenient for him, I'll go."
After saying that, she smiled at Lu Yusheng, who turned around with a happy expression, and said encouragingly, "You have done a very thoughtful job. Being able to think so much for him is enough just for your good intentions."
He didn't belittle anyone, but Sikong Zhaixing felt he had lost a step in the process. However, he was only a step slower, and Hua Manlou had already taken the computer host steadily.
In the end, she could only reluctantly take the loose items that Lu Yusheng had packed in his other hand, and the two of them followed behind her.
Fortunately, he had a good memory, and after Lu Yusheng knocked on the door, he helped assemble it.
Following the steps she had taken to disassemble the machine, I restored it to its original state, and it was restored to perfection.
He took over all the work, and while assembling the clothes, he awkwardly whispered to Lu Yusheng, who was squatting beside him watching, "That's not what I meant just now, don't overthink it."
The latter, however, became serious. Seeing her expression, Sikong Zhaixing felt nervous and heard her continue, "How could a first-rate gentleman like me do such a shameful thing as lust? Don't think of me like that next time."
He felt increasingly guilty, unaware that the moment Lu Yusheng uttered those words, the image of Sikong Zhaixing cosplaying as a fox-eared girl flashed uncontrollably through his mind.
As his thoughts wandered, he couldn't help but imagine what it would be like if he wore that outfit and danced a lively little dance in front of her...
