In the blink of an eye, the happy winter vacation was over. Du Chen left his hometown and returned to the bustling Beijing to start the second half of his freshman year.
"Du Chen, have you asked your classmates during winter break if they want to work in a teahouse?"
It was the first day back in Beijing, and everyone had dinner at a small restaurant at the school gate in the evening. Wang Yue asked Du Chen who was eating and drinking.
"Go, I asked him, he wants to go!"
Du Chen swallowed the food in his mouth and hurriedly spoke to Wang Yue.
"But there's a problem..."
Wang Yue spoke to Du Chen with a little embarrassment.
"What's the problem? Tell me!"
"Well, during the winter break, I happened to run into my cousin's uncle at his house..."
"Mr. Guo Degang?"
Du Chen asked Wang Yue excitedly. Although he had not yet watched Teacher Gangzi's crosstalk in person, he had watched many videos on Douyin. Now that he suddenly heard the real person, he couldn't help but feel excited.
"Hi, what is Teacher Guo..."
Wang Yue grinned and helped Guo Degang refuse the title of teacher.
"Hey, Wang Yue, stop talking nonsense and tell me what's going on."
Liu Pinchao was also waiting for the follow-up content and asked Wang Yue impatiently.
"My cousin uncle said..."
"Oh, why is it so confusing!"
Wang Yue slapped his lips, feeling that it was too tiring to say this.
"Forget it. My uncle said that it's not impossible for him to learn crosstalk, but he has to start by serving tea and water in a teahouse. Then, we can decide whether to accept him as an apprentice and teach him crosstalk based on the situation."
Wang Yue said a little embarrassedly. He had patted his chest and promised that there would be no problem. Who would have thought that when the critical moment came, there would be another layer of test.
"That's all?"
Du Chen asked Wang Yue in surprise.
"Um……"
"What's the problem with that? This isn't normal!"
Du Chen curled his lips, thinking there was some kind of test. When he was an apprentice learning to modify cars, didn't he also start by cleaning and putting away tools? Moreover, he had to give gifts to his master during the New Year and other festivals, so Du Chen thought there was no problem at all.
"Is it really okay? Don't you need to ask your classmates?"
Wang Yue looked at Du Chen suspiciously.
"Really? You still don't believe me? Never mind. I'll ask you now!"
After saying that, Du Chen took out his mobile phone from his pocket. This was the phone his brother Du Bin had given him when he just returned to Beijing. Otherwise, it would be too inconvenient to contact people.
"Fuck, you bought a cell phone?"
As soon as Du Chen took out his cell phone, everyone in the dormitory looked at his right hand, or to be more precise, at the cell phone in his right hand.
"Well, what's wrong?"
"What's wrong? How much does this cost? Let me see what kind of phone it is!"
Wang Yue is also a digital enthusiast, but because he is short of money, he cannot afford to buy anything. However, he never misses an issue of "Computer News" and studies each issue over and over again until he understands everything clearly.
"for you!"
Du Chen didn't take the phone in his hand seriously at all. Today's phones are too simple. They can only make calls and send text messages, and play small games. It seems that they have no other functions.
"Fuck, Sony Ericsson T618! Du Chen, you're really rich!"
Wang Yue took the phone and knew what kind of phone it was.
“Is this expensive?”
Liu Pinchao asked Wang Yue curiously. He knew that mobile phones were expensive, but he didn't know how expensive this phone was.
"When it was first released, it was 5980. Do you think it was expensive?"
Wang Yue held the phone in her hand reluctantly and answered Liu Pinchao without even raising her head.
“It shouldn’t be that expensive now, right?”
Du Chen said doubtfully that the phone was given to him by Du Bin, and he didn't ask the price. It should have been purchased with a public account. It's not that Du Bin couldn't afford the phone, but that he was reluctant to buy it.
"It should have been around 5,000 yuan before the New Year!"
Huang Guangwei said silently to Wang Yue, and then took out a Sony Ericsson T618 from his pocket.
“That’s expensive too!”
"You two big dogs!"
Liu Pinchao and Wang Yue both commented that one focuses on price and the other focuses on people.
"Huang Guangwei, you're really good at hiding your wealth. I never knew you were that rich!"
Several people in the dormitory criticized Huang Guangwei verbally and in writing.
"I didn't hide it, it's mainly because you didn't ask! Besides, no matter how rich I am, I never told you I have a car!"
Huang Guangwei shifted the focus of the conflict to Du Chen.
"Xiao Guangyue, you are so mean! Now we are talking about your problem, and you are actually shifting the blame to someone else!"
Du Chen spoke to Huang Guangwei unhappily.
"Let's not talk about this issue for now. Didn't Du Chen want to call his classmates? Should he or not?"
Liu Pinchao gave a reminder.
"Here you go, call first and we'll talk about other things later."
Wang Yue also realized what he was about to do.
“Beep, beep…”
"Hello?"
"Hello, I'm looking for Zhao Pengfei."
Du Chen heard that it was not Zhao Pengfei's voice, and guessed that it was his roommate who answered the call, so he spoke to the other end.
"Zhao Pengfei, someone's looking for you!"
Du Chen heard the person on the other end calling Zhao Pengfei.
"Hello, hello, I'm Zhao Pengfei!"
"Hello, it's me!"
"Du Chen, what's wrong? Didn't we just separate this afternoon? What's wrong? What happened?"
Zhao Pengfei asked Du Chen curiously. He, Li Qiang and Du Chen had just returned to the capital in the afternoon, and it had only been a short time since they separated. What could Du Chen want from him?
