"After the stock market closed on Monday, I did go online, but as soon as I clicked the QQ login button, my internet fee ran out, and my computer screen was forcibly switched to the login interface. I thought, since I had finished my work, I didn't renew the fee and just shut down the computer and left. So, I didn't see the QQ message you sent at all."
Chen Feng unhesitatingly shifted the blame to the internet cafe.
But as soon as he said it, he sensed something was wrong.
Why do I have this déjà vu feeling that I didn't reply to your messages in time, which made my girlfriend furious, and then I had to rack my brains to coax her back?
"Internet fee exhausted? Forced to switch to the computer login interface?"
Li Wanwan's expression was slightly confused.
"right."
Chen Feng nodded. "You've never been to an internet cafe, so you don't know what it's like there."
"Simply put, without internet access, you can't control your computer, and you can't even browse the pages you opened before."
"If you don't believe me, I'll take you to see it another day."
The resentment that had filled Li Wanwan's eyes was instantly replaced by self-reproach.
"I'm sorry, Chen Feng, I misunderstood you."
Li Wanwan clasped her hands together and solemnly promised, "I promise, this is the first time, and it will absolutely be the last time."
"From now on, I will never overthink things again, and I will never wrong you again."
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng felt extremely guilty.
They even deceived a simple and kind girl like Li Wanwan...
Am I doing something inhuman?
But after only a moment, Chen Feng's feelings of guilt vanished.
I told a white lie just to avoid hurting Li Wanwan's feelings, so it doesn't really count as deception.
"It's okay."
Chen Feng waved his hand dismissively, "It's normal for you to misunderstand since you don't know the specifics of the situation at the time."
"Aren't you tired of spending so much time in the library these past few days?"
"Come on, I'll take you out for a walk to clear your head."
Li Wanwan's eyes lit up, and she quickly packed her belongings and followed Chen Feng out of the library.
Originally, Chen Feng planned to take Li Wanwan to the bank to deposit money first, and then go to the computer mall to buy a laptop.
The "battle-damaged" computer he used before was still working, but it had reached the end of its service life.
Forget about stock trading software, even opening a webpage takes several seconds.
When he had no money, he had to make do.
But now that he has money, he no longer needs to compromise himself.
However, Li Wanwan firmly refused the suggestion to deposit money in the bank first.
"Little rich girl, you're not planning to go shopping with all this money, are you?"
Chen Feng looked at Li Wanwan and asked.
"yes!"
Li Wanwan nodded. "I've been waiting for almost a week for this opportunity to go out with you, and I don't want to waste any time."
"But there are so many people and suspicious eyes in the mall, aren't you afraid of losing your money?"
"I'm not afraid."
Li Wanwan glanced at the money pouch, a look of disdain appearing on her face. "Anyway, it's not much money, so it's not a big deal if I lose it."
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng's lips twitched violently.
That's a whopping 500,000!
Even in 2024, before his rebirth, it was not a small sum of money.
But in Li Wanwan's mouth, it turned into "Anyway, it's not much money" and "Even if it's lost, it's not a big deal"?
Isn't this young heiress a bit too extravagant?
"Alright, I'll do as you say."
Chen Feng wisely chose to compromise, taking the young heiress in a taxi and heading straight for the city.
Chen Feng was scared.
He feared that if he persisted in his opinion, he would not only fail to change Li Wanwan's decision, but also hurt his fragile self-esteem.
Soon, the two arrived at Buynow.
When Li Wanwan first entered the mall, her eyes were still sparkling. She looked around curiously, like a curious kitten.
But before long, the light in her eyes disappeared completely.
Clearly, like most girls, Li Wanwan wasn't interested in digital products.
Noticing that Li Wanwan wasn't very interested, Chen Feng considerately said, "Little rich girl, why don't you wander around and see if there's anything you like? I'll come find you after I buy the computer."
"good."
Li Wanwan obediently responded and turned to walk into a store that specializes in Apple computers.
Among the many products, only the slim and stylish Apple computer could slightly arouse her interest.
Chen Feng wandered around for a while before finally stepping into the Dell store.
This store is very large and has a wide variety of products, including Alienware laptops.
Chen Feng chose the Dell store because he was drawn to the high-end brand Alienware.
However, when the seven or eight sales assistants saw Chen Feng walk straight to the counter area where Alienware laptops were displayed, they tacitly stepped aside and ignored him.
Back in 2007, Alienware laptops, with their exorbitant prices, were considered luxury items.
Sales assistants have seen plenty of poor students like Chen Feng wearing Adidas with four stripes.
They were convinced that Chen Feng was just there to look around and couldn't possibly afford to buy anything.
Since there's no profit to be made, who would want to waste their time on Chen Feng?
Chen Feng didn't seem to care about this.
He checked the specifications on his own, made a quick comparison, and decided to buy the latest Alienware m14.
This flagship laptop features an i7 processor, with a top configuration option of 32GB of RAM and a 1TB solid-state drive, along with a 2GB dedicated graphics card.
Whether you're trading stocks or playing games, this computer's high specifications can handle it with ease.
The only downside is that this computer is very "touching" in price.
The price of the top-of-the-line model was so high that Chen Feng couldn't help but feel a little pained.
"Oh well, it's for work."
Chen Feng comforted himself, saying, "With this powerful tool in hand, I can achieve twice the result with half the effort and earn more money."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Feng raised his hand and reached for the M14.
Just as he was about to touch the computer, a sharp scream suddenly rang out.
What are you going to do?
Chen Feng instinctively stopped what he was doing and looked in the direction of the sound.
A middle-aged female sales assistant walked over aggressively, her face full of anger.
"Take your filthy hands away!"
The saleswoman angrily retorted, "What if you break the computer? Can you afford to pay for it?"
Chen Feng was slightly taken aback. "Isn't a prototype just for customers to try out? Can't I even touch it?"
The saleswoman rolled her eyes and said with a disdainful look, "You're not a customer, why should I let you touch it?"
"What are you saying?"
Chen Feng frowned slightly. "If I'm not a customer, what am I doing here?"
"What else can we do? Of course, we can feast our eyes on it."
The female sales assistant pointed to the store's door, "Go away, go away, go somewhere cool and don't cause us any trouble!"
