Chapter 249 Kaiyuan Internet Cafe

"Can you bear this kind of suffering?"

Bai Xiyao pointed at the workers who were sweating profusely while moving the computer case.

"I can endure any hardship. In my grandparents' house, I could carry dozens of kilograms of fertilizer and potatoes and walk several miles along the mountain road in the summer."

Although Zhou Jing has lived in the city since childhood, she is not a spoiled greenhouse flower. She helped her grandmother and grandparents harvest in the autumn of junior high and high school.

"I can see that you are a good worker. I really want to experience farming and harvesting in the countryside. In the fall, take me to your grandfather's or grandmother's house to help."

Bai Xiyao could tell from Zhou Jing's daily life that he was not a spoiled young man.

"That will satisfy you. Then go to my grandfather's house this fall to dig potatoes and break corn."

Zhou Jing had never seen Bai Xiyao make such a request.

The two sat in the cool corridor of the teaching building for a while, and went to check the installation status on the first floor of Teaching Building No. 1. The wiring on the first and second floors had been completed, and the technicians were instructing the electricians to install cameras and projectors.

"Boss Zhou, Boss Bai."

Seeing Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao, the technician took the initiative to say hello.

"Master Zhang, Master Li, come with me."

Zhou Jing nodded and asked the driller and an electrician to go out.

The weather was quite hot, so when Zhou Jing came, he brought two boxes of beer and two bottles of mineral water in the car and asked the workers to move them to the warehouse so they could drink when they were thirsty.

"It's to quench everyone's thirst. Don't drink too much and fall down while working, especially when moving computer boxes or climbing ladders. Don't drink beer after someone has had an accident."

The workers picked up the beer and gulped it down. Zhou Jing reminded them.

"Don't worry, boss."

The workers know their limits; they have been trained by the labor dispatch agency.

On the 28th, Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao need to return to Qing County to open an Internet cafe. The project at No. 11 Middle School needs a part-time person in charge. Bai Xiyao asks Wang Bin, a network engineer who has installed three Internet cafes, to be in charge. This is also a test for Wang Bin. If Wang Bin is conscientious and competent, he will be considered to be the company's deputy technical director.

After Wang Bin arranged everything, Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao left No. 11 Middle School.

The project planning has been completed, and technicians will be responsible for the guidance of construction and installation. After leaving school, Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao went to the company.

Yulin City has developed rapidly in recent years, and there are many projects up for tender. Bowen Network Technology Co., Ltd. has also received some bidding invitations. Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao make cost budgets based on the projects. These originally require cost estimators, but Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao can calculate the small and medium-sized projects.

The projects undertaken by Bowei Network Technology Co., Ltd. are mainly network and related equipment installation. The budget is relatively easy to calculate, and the costs are nothing more than equipment, wires and labor.

Zhou Jing can write some simple codes according to actual needs, and using programs to calculate is much faster than pressing the computer.

"Niu Bi, my mortgage interest rate is XX, and my monthly payment is XXXX. Please help me calculate how much I need to pay including interest on time."

Bai Xiyao admired Zhou Jing as he quickly worked out the project cost after inputting the data.

“It needs to be re-coded.”

Zhou Jing remembered that his university computer teacher had taught him the code for calculating mortgage loans.

Zhou Jing quickly wrote the code, and finally entered the relevant data to get the result.

"With so much interest, is it more cost-effective to pay it off in advance or pay it monthly?"

After intuitively understanding the total interest on the mortgage, Bai Xiyao hesitated whether to pay off the mortgage in advance.

"If you know how to manage your finances, there's no need to pay it off early."

It’s okay that house prices are low now, but the house prices and interest rates in a few years will be really scary.

After budgeting the project to be bid, Zhou Jing went to Gu Jia's house for dinner. Gu's father had gone on a business trip to the provincial capital, and only Gu Jia and Gu's mother were at home. Zhou Jing felt much less pressure. "Come up tomorrow night when you go back. I'll take you to my house next time."

In Gu Jia's bedroom, Zhou Jing held Gu Jia's hand and said.

"Ah? Are you ready?"

Gu Jia's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. Although she was a little nervous and overwhelmed, she was very happy in her heart. The boy's initiative to take her to meet his parents was enough to show that he was serious about her, which was undoubtedly the greatest sense of security for her.

At Gu Jia's age, if the boy doesn't take the initiative, she will feel insecure.

"I'm always ready, how about you?"

Zhou Jing had no choice but to bring Gu Jia to meet his parents. He didn't want to seriously consider the relationship at the moment, but he couldn't leave Gu Jia out completely. He had to at least make his attitude clear. He could be ambiguous with young girls, but he couldn't treat Gu Jia like this.

Zhou Jing only hopes that Gu Jia can let him develop his career before starting a family.

“I’m more stressed than you.”

Although Gu Jia was under a lot of pressure, she definitely couldn't back down since the boy was so sincere. Even if the boy's family clearly opposed it, she had to bite the bullet and go meet him shamelessly. She couldn't just give up just because the boy's family opposed it.

"Don't worry, my parents are very reasonable. Even if they don't support you, they won't object. In fact, my parents don't have any opinions about you. They are mainly worried that I am not mature enough."

Zhou Jing frankly expressed his family’s true attitude.

Gu Jia was not upset. The attitude of the boy's family was within her expectations. If she were the boy's parents, she would have the same attitude. Which parent would clearly support their son to marry a woman who was six years older than him, and a woman who was not...
After dinner, Zhou Jing accompanied Gu Jia and Gu's mother to the square, driving Zhou Jing's car.

After strolling around the square until around eight o'clock, Zhou Jing sent Gu Jia and Gu's mother home and then went to Yang Wenwen's house. In the evening, Zhou Jing had to write a novel and did not stay at Yang Wenwen's house. He played with the little girl for a while and then returned to his own place.

The next morning, Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao met up and went to Qing County. Kaiyuan Internet Cafe opened at noon. Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao arrived in Qing County at around 10 o'clock. Everything was ready in the Internet cafe, waiting for the auspicious time.

Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao went to the Internet cafe first. There was a banner at the door of the Internet cafe, which wrote the benefits of the opening of the Internet cafe. Just like the opening of the Innovation Internet Cafe, Kaiyuan Internet Cafe provided free Internet access from 12 noon to 2 pm. All the computers in the Internet cafe were occupied before 11 o'clock. For ordinary Internet users, two free hours was a luxury.

"Brother hid it so well that I didn't even know I was the boss."

My cousin Wu Yuan was also in the Internet cafe at the moment and said excitedly.

"Teachers can't have side jobs and can't talk nonsense."

Zhou Jing smiled and said.

"Have you two eaten?"

My mother and uncle were also in the Internet cafe, and they were very excited about the upcoming opening of the cafe.

"No, I'll eat later."

Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao took the Internet cafe technicians to the computer room to check the server and network equipment.

Bai Xiyao personally checks all the equipment in the Internet cafe. From electrical wires and network cables to servers, the quality can be guaranteed and no technical problems will occur under normal circumstances.

While inspecting, Bai Xiyao explained common faults and how to deal with them to the Internet cafe technicians.

In fact, general faults can be solved by Internet cafe technicians. As an Internet cafe technician, equipment maintenance, repair, system updates, firewalls, virus protection, etc. are basic duties.

"Work hard, and you'll have the chance to transfer to my company in Yu City in the future."

Zhou Jing casually painted a pie in the sky for the technician, but this pie is not difficult to achieve. If you can do a good job as an Internet cafe technician, then you can also be useful in Bowei Network Technology Co., Ltd., at least you can be a technical supervisor.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou. I will definitely work hard."

The technicians were suddenly filled with hope and more motivated.

All the computers in the Internet cafe have been turned on and the network data interface has been connected, which is equivalent to running at full capacity. All equipment is functioning normally, so Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao go to eat with peace of mind.
