Chapter 218 Dad
After having lunch at Yang Wenwen's house at noon, Zhou Jing went to Second Street to find Bai Xiyao. The Internet cafe project that he had taken over a few days ago had already started renovations. At noon, Bai Xiyao was supervising the work for his father in the Internet cafe.
“Is this Internet cafe big?”
Bai Xiyao took Zhou Jing to the entrance of the Internet cafe and saw that it was being renovated and it was noisy and messy.
"Well, I don't need you to keep an eye on it since we haven't started installing the electronics yet, right?"
Zhou Jing took a look inside and it was indeed very large. The entire fourth floor of the shopping mall was an Internet cafe.
“There can’t be any problems with laying the line.”
When the Internet cafe is being renovated, the wires need to be laid. Bai Xiyao would feel uneasy if she didn't keep an eye on it. If something went wrong, the equipment would have to be disassembled and re-laid.
"It's quite complicated. It's easy for an electrician, right?"
Zhou Jing picked up the decoration drawing. The colorful lines on the drawing were neatly arranged, but they looked very complicated to an outsider.
However, there are electricians among the decorators who specialize in laying wiring, so just leave the professional matters to the professionals.
"It's not complicated actually. You can learn electrical engineering even if you watch it twice. Have you taken any electrical appliances-related courses in college?"
Bai Xiyao took Zhou Jing to the area where the wires were laid, talking as they walked.
"No, but I took a lab course where I connected various circuit breakers."
Zhou Jing has been interested in electronics since he was a child. He could make simple circuit connections before he studied physics. He had done this many times when the light bulbs at his grandparents' houses broke or when he had to replace wires.
"The most complicated circuit in general is the switch. Do you know how to connect this?"
Bai Xiyao picked up a compound switch and said.
"can."
Zhou Jing took it in his hand and took a look. The principle was the same as that of a household switch.
"Boss Bai, is it okay for the network cable to run a little further over here?"
The technician who was laying the network cable asked while looking at the blueprint.
"Sure, this is Mr. Zhou, the real boss. I also work for Mr. Zhou."
Bai Xiyao nodded and introduced.
"Hello, Mr. Zhou."
The main person in charge present took off his gloves and shook hands with Zhou Jing.
"Boss Bai, you are too kind. We are partners."
Zhou Jing said modestly but gracefully.
"When you quit, I'll be your assistant."
During this period, Bai Xiyao has deeply realized that although she is proficient in technology, she is a girl after all. She is not as valued and trusted as men in business. If her father had not known the owner of this Internet cafe when he opened an Internet cafe on the pedestrian street, Bai Xiyao would definitely not have been able to get the project of decorating this Internet cafe.
"As a secretary, I have to wear black silk business attire. Can you do that?"
Zhou Jing found a bundle of wires and sat down and said.
Bai Xiyao said in a huff, "Then I'll hire a secretary for you and let your girlfriend be the secretary."
"My girlfriend is not as good as you." Zhou Jing picked up a cut wire on the ground and said, "This wire is of good quality."
"The wires in the Internet cafe must not be cut corners. Our Internet cafe is much smaller, and the equipment used is of the same specifications as here."
Bai Xiyao took the list and checked the items on the ground. After her father came back from dinner, she and Zhou Jing left.
After finding a KFC and drinking a cup of Coke, Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao went to the electronics mall. The electronics mall was also very busy. Bai Xiyao's cousin Bai Dongdong could only do sales, so Bai Xiyao had to come back to do technical work such as computer repair and installation.
"I just bought two computers and need to install them, but this host computer won't turn on."
Bai Dongdong gave the customer's address to Bai Xiyao and said.
Bai Xiyao looked at the address in the package and first checked the host that could not be turned on. After finding the problem, she called the customer to explain the situation and asked the other party to choose the replacement hardware. After the repair was completed, she went to install the computer at the customer's home.
Zhou Jing went with Bai Xiyao, and after installing the computer, he went to the Internet cafe near the college with Bai Xiyao.
Bai Xiyao hadn't played games for a long time, and Zhou Jing happened to be free to play with her. There were no empty computers in Innovation Internet Cafe, so the two went to the exclusive room of Bai Xiyao's Internet cafe, and went to Innovation Internet Cafe to take a look before leaving.
Last time Zhou Jing asked the network administrator to buy a water heater, it has been installed next to the front desk.
According to the sales of Internet cafes, the sales of instant noodles, ham, bread, drinks and tea eggs have increased significantly after providing free hot water, especially during night flight hours. From the customer's perspective, it is a very enjoyable thing to eat steaming hot instant noodles after staying up all night, and it is really refreshing to add some ham or eggs and a bottle of drink.
The sales of snacks in Internet cafes should not be underestimated. The revenue from the sales of snacks, beverages and cigarettes is also a significant source of income.
"You have a good idea. The Internet cafe near my home also installed a water heater."
Walking into the Innovation Internet Cafe, Bai Xiyao looked at the customers who were getting water for instant noodles and said.
"Boss Zhou, Boss Bai."
The mascot girl at the front desk greeted the two bosses.
Bai Xiyao nodded and went to check the Internet cafe's equipment, including air conditioning and ventilation systems, servers and other network equipment.
Zhou Jing doesn't understand network equipment, so he checks the hygiene of the Internet cafe.
There were all kinds of small advertisements posted in the Internet cafe toilets, such as "ladies", "M drugs", "obedient water" and so on. Girls would definitely be scared if they saw them. After going out, Zhou Jing reminded the network administrator and asked the duty students to clean up the small advertisements in the toilets every day and stop those advertisements from being posted.
After a thorough inspection of the Internet cafe, I went to Bai Xiyao's home Internet cafe to surf the Internet.
"What game are you playing?"
Bai Xiyao got two bottles of drinks at the front desk and went to the private room to turn on two computers.
"I'm free to do it."
Zhou Jing opened the Sprite and took a sip.
"Then let's play two karts first, best of five. What's the bet?"
Karting is the game that Bai Xiyao and Zhou Jing play the most, followed by Cross Fire.
"Call me daddy if you lose." Zhou Jing thought about it and decided there was nothing to bet on.
"Get lost." Bai Xiyao said angrily, "You're going to call mom if you lose?"
"Okay!"
Zhou Jing said cheerfully.
"it is good."
Bai Xiyao started to log into the game. After logging into the game, the two went to another room to practice for a few rounds. Then Bai Xiyao created a room and invited Zhou Jing.
“How do I choose a map?”
Zhou Jing took a sip of Sprite and put it down.
"As usual, the first one is random, and the winners choose the next one."
Bai Xiyao selected the map mode as random.
After the game started, Zhou Jing felt that winning was meaningless, so he didn't use his full strength.
Bai Xiyao won the first game, Zhou Jing won the second game, and Bai Xiyao won the third game.
"You can call now."
In the fourth game, Bai Xiyao was far ahead and said proudly before reaching the finish line.
"You violated the rules. Doing this before the end is disrespectful to your opponent."
Zhou Jing said calmly.
"Is it okay now? Call me mom."
As expected, Bai Xiyao reached the finish line first. She leaned back in her chair and hung her headphones around her neck.
"You have violated the rules just now and have not respected your opponent, so the match is void."
Zhou Jing spoke with confidence and decisively started the rogue mode.
"You can't afford to lose, right? If you can't afford to lose, just say so."
"You are insulting me again. When have I ever been unable to accept defeat? When have I ever not been willing to accept defeat?"
"Okay, okay, let's go to CF. Make it clear in advance what the rules are. Don't make excuses if you lose again."
Bai Xiyao was too lazy to argue and decided to gamble again.
"I only have one rule, which is to respect your opponent. No matter how far ahead you are, you can't show off before the game is over."
"OK, I only have one thing to say, I will accept the loss if I lose."
Bai Xiyao said bluntly.
Log in to CrossFire, create a one-on-one room, select the transport ship on the map, whoever gets 20 kills first wins, it's a best-of-five game, there's no limit on weapons.
"You have good equipment!"
Zhou Jing glanced at Bai Xiyao's weapon bag, which contained a cannon, an M4A1S, and a golden pistol, all of which were the envy of the boys.
"Another excuse, eh? Go get your point card and top up to buy a set."
Bai Xiyao huffed and said, "I have as many point cards as you want."
"Forget it. I'm not one to make excuses. Losing is losing, winning is winning."
Zhou Jing doesn't care about equipment.
"Then I don't need to buy it with a card."
Bai Xiyao replaced all her equipment with ordinary ones.
When the game started, Zhou Jing took it more seriously. He won the first game, Bai Xiyao won the second game, and Bai Xiyao won the third game again. Then Zhou Jing won two games in a row.
"How to say?"
Zhou Jing looked at Bai Xiyao and smiled.
"You cheated just now, now we're even."
Bai Xiyao imitated Zhou Jing's shameless attitude and said.
"Then do you dare to decide the outcome in one round?"
Zhou Jing was too lazy to argue.
"Okay, I'll add one more thing. You can't use snipers. You can only use submachine guns, pistols, and knives."
Bai Xiyao felt that she had just lost in the sniping duel.
"Well, I can't make any excuses for losing this time."
The game started again, and both of them used the same submachine gun. In the end, Zhou Jing had a slight advantage and was the first to get twenty kills.
"Scream!"
Zhou Jing stretched and said.
"You are so sinister. You sinned against me several times when we were walking in the tunnel."
Bai Xiyao said unconvinced.
"I told you I won't make any more excuses. If you can't stand losing, don't compete again."
Zhou Jing acted disdainful.
"Who can't afford to lose? Hey, Dad."
Bai Xiyao gritted her teeth and squeezed out two words.
