Chapter 35: Internet Cafe, Let’s Go!
The two of them walked to the bathroom arm in arm. Cheng Yi had just taken out a cigarette and put it in his mouth when his cell phone rang.

Under Du Yusheng's envious gaze, he answered the phone and asked, "Who is this?"

"Boss Cheng, I'm renting a shop." Shen Dongxing's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Ah, hello, hello." Cheng Yi threw away the cigarette and ran out of the bathroom quickly.

Looking at the cigarette on the ground, Du Yusheng picked it up with a look of regret, wiped it with his clothes, and put it in his shirt pocket.

After a while, Cheng Yi came back anxiously and said, "Let's go to Handong University City."

"Is it going to work?" Du Yusheng also became excited.

Thinking that Cheng Yi was about to open an Internet cafe and that he would be able to access the Internet for free, Du Yusheng felt that the whole world became brighter.

Cheng Yi first withdrew 30,000 yuan from the bank downstairs, and then took a tricycle to the University Town Commercial Street.

As soon as he entered the commercial street, he saw Shen Dongxing waiting eagerly on the street.

Seeing Cheng Yi coming over, Shen Dongxing's expression became much more serious. He said hesitantly, "Um... can I talk to you alone?"

"Okay." Cheng Yi naturally knew what Shen Dongxing wanted to say, but he still smiled and asked knowingly: "Is the price not suitable?"

"No, no, this way please." Shen Dongxing pulled him aside and said embarrassedly: "I won't hide it from you, I'm actually a teacher at Handong University."

"Ah?" Cheng Yi feigned surprise and said, "No wonder the moment I saw you, I felt that your manners and demeanor were extraordinary."

This was a nice bit of flattery, but it made Shen Dongxing feel quite comfortable. Shen Dongxing's expression softened a lot and he said, "You're going to be admitted to Handong University soon. It would feel weird if I rented the shop to you."

"What's your name?" Cheng Yi asked.

"My last name is Shen," Shen Dongxing replied.

"I'll just call you Uncle Shen." Cheng Yi smiled and said, "Uncle Shen, even if you're a teacher at Handong University, so what? What we're talking about is business. Neither of us owes anyone anything. If you're worried about this or that, then why did you buy this shop? Just to lose money?"

"I didn't think that much at the time." Shen Dongxing said with a wry smile.

Cheng Yi immediately said, "Teacher Shen, let me say something unpleasant. Whether you are a teacher or what your status is, it doesn't mean anything to me. I am just an ordinary student who wants to open a small business to earn money for my studies. If you really have a grudge, that's easy to do."

Cheng Yi looked back at Du Yusheng at the street corner and said, "If you really want to add a procedure to make you feel at ease, then I'll let my friend rent it. He's not from Handong University."

"That's not what I meant." Shen Dongxing felt a little embarrassed when his secret was exposed.

He didn't expect that this young man was so powerful and could see through his thoughts in one go.

"I understand what you mean. Let me put it this way. I promise you that I will never tell anyone who the landlord of this shop is. Even if I enter Handong University, I will never mention that I know you. Even if we pass by each other face to face, I will not even say hello to you. Is that okay?" Cheng Yi acted very impatient.

But Cheng Yi's impatience made Shen Dongxing feel a lot more at ease.

"Okay." Shen Dongxing took out the contract from his briefcase, handed it to Cheng Yi, and said, "Take a look at the contract."

Cheng Yi glanced through it casually and said, "No problem, sign it now."

Cheng Yi signed the contract quickly, took out 30,000 yuan from his bag, handed it to Shen Dongxing and said, "This is a year's rent, you can count it too."

"No, no need to order." Shen Dongxing had obviously never been involved in buying and selling. As a professor, he felt that this kind of financial transaction was very shameful.

He put the money into the briefcase in a panic. He looked so flustered, as if he was taking a bribe, which made Cheng Yi want to laugh.

Soon, Shen Dongxing handed the key to Cheng Yi and said, "I'll give you another three months of rent-free period, and you can decorate it." He gave a few simple instructions and left in a hurry like a thief.

Cheng Yi opened the door to the first floor and said to Du Yusheng, "How is it? Pretty impressive, right?"

"It's magnificent." Du Yusheng touched this and that, and asked excitedly: "Boss, with such a large area, how big an Internet cafe do you want to open?"

"What do you think of 500 units?" Cheng Yi said with a smile.

"How many? Five hundred?" Du Yusheng was stunned.

What is the scale of 500 units?
There are only about 500 computers in all the Internet cafes in Dongcang County, right?
This is a huge amount of investment.

Cheng Yi said: "Of course, this needs to be done step by step. We can't do it all at once. Let's find a renovation team first. They will add three fire escape passages on each floor and add external stairs on each floor."

“?” Du Yusheng couldn’t understand.

What is the relationship between opening an Internet cafe and fire escape routes?
Isn't this a waste of money?
Cheng Yi was too lazy to explain to Du Yusheng. He left Du Yusheng at home and ran to a suburban town to find a decoration team.

At dusk, just as the renovation team was hammering down the wall, Cheng Yi's phone rang again.

"Master, where are you? I'm in the provincial capital." Zhang Lingyu's somewhat excited voice came from the other end of the phone.

"So fast? How did you get here?" Cheng Yi asked.

"Of course I came here by bike," Zhang Lingyu said with a smile. "Isn't it much faster than the bus? I'm at the first phone booth on Qingnian Road in Shinan District."

"Okay, wait for a while at the intersection of Qingnian Road, I'll be back soon." Cheng Yi hung up the phone, left the keys to a few decoration masters, and took a tricycle with Du Yusheng back to Shinan District.

When he arrived at the intersection of Qingnian Road, he saw Zhang Lingyu, wearing a denim suit, standing next to a telephone pole.

"Oh my God, isn't that Sister Yu from Hailang Internet Cafe?" Du Yusheng's green eyes immediately widened into peanuts when he saw Zhang Lingyu.

"Do you know her?" Cheng Yi asked with a smile.

"She, she's a celebrity in Dongcang County." Du Yusheng murmured, "I heard she's a fierce fighter. Even the big hooligans in Dongcang County have to avoid her when they see her."

"So powerful?" Cheng Yi was a little surprised.

"Boss, you don't even know this, and you called her over?" Du Yusheng's voice trembled.

The name of Sister Yu is indeed very famous in Dongcang County.

"Zhang Lingyu." Cheng Yi shouted from a distance.

Zhang Lingyu turned around immediately, and when she saw Cheng Yi, she waved happily and called out, "Master."

"Master?" Du Yusheng felt that his brain cells were not enough.

Where are all this?
At this moment, Du Yusheng felt numb all over. Now, even if a centaur called Cheng Yi "Master", he would not be surprised.

"Master." Zhang Lingyu ran over and said with a smile, "You really opened an internet cafe?"

"I just rented a storefront and am waiting for you, the expert, to come over." Cheng Yi said with a smile.
