After being reborn, the school beauty's entire family knelt down to repent.

He had initially worried that the two might back out, but now it seems he had been overthinking it.

"Great! That's easy! I'll go prepare the contract right away!" The boss grinned from ear to ear and quickly turned to find the contract.

Chen Ming and Li Yu exchanged a glance and both smiled.

"Ming-ge, you're amazing!" Li Yu couldn't help but exclaim.

"They cut the price by 500 yuan right away and signed a two-year contract. Now we can run our internet cafe with peace of mind!"

Chen Ming smiled and said, "This boss is just trying to rip us off, we can't let him get away with it. The price of 2,500 is not low, but it's still within our budget. Besides, we signed a two-year contract, which will save us trouble later."

"Ming-ge, you are truly visionary!"

Soon, the boss returned with the contract, and both parties signed and stamped it, officially concluding the transaction.

Chen Ming counted out 70,000 yuan from his bag and handed it to the shopkeeper:

"This is the rent for two years, plus a deposit of 10,000, totaling 82,000. Please check it."

The boss accepted the money with both hands, overjoyed, his hands trembling slightly with excitement. "These two young men are truly straightforward! It's a pleasure doing business with you!"

"It's a pleasure to work with you!" Chen Ming shook hands with his boss.

The boss's eyes narrowed into slits with laughter.

After signing the contract, Chen Ming and Li Yu walked out of the store.

Li Yu suddenly couldn't believe it: "Ming-ge, are you really going to spend so much money to open an internet cafe? What if you lose money?"

Chen Ming patted him on the shoulder and laughed, "Don't worry, we won't lose money. I know what I'm doing."

A biting wind was blowing outside, swirling a few fallen leaves as they drifted by.

Li Yu rubbed his hands together, still looking incredulous.

"Ming-ge, seventy thousand yuan! You're really generous! I'm... I'm panicking."

Chen Ming laughed and punched him lightly: "What's the rush? This is nothing! You'll earn way more money in the future!"

"But... what if we lose money?" Li Yu was still uneasy, in his opinion.

Seventy thousand yuan is a huge sum of money. If it goes down the drain, he will never be able to pay it back in his lifetime.

Chen Ming stopped and looked at Li Yu intently:

"Yu Zi, I remember your father isn't in good health, is that right?"

Li Yu was taken aback, not expecting Chen Ming to suddenly bring this up, and nodded:

"Yes, it's an old problem; he's been taking medicine all along." His father's illness was like a heavy gloom, constantly looming over Li Yu's heart.

Every time he saw his father struggle to get up and swallow those pills, his heart would clench painfully.

Chen Ming patted him on the shoulder, his tone tinged with emotion:

"Sigh...brother, I wasn't much of a help either..."

He paused, a hint of guilt flashing in his eyes.

In his previous life, Li Yu came from a poor family. His father was seriously ill, and he borrowed money everywhere to pay for his father's treatment. He even almost took his own life.

At that time, Chen Ming was so infatuated with Zhao Rou that he didn't care about his brother's life or death at all.

"Ming-ge, what are you saying! Let's not talk about the past." Li Yu was a little uncomfortable and scratched his head.

Chen Ming took a deep breath and said, "Yu Zi, let's split this internet cafe fifty-fifty."

"What?!" Li Yu's eyes widened, as if he had heard something unbelievable.

"Ming-ge, are you running a fever? You paid for all of this, how can I take half of it!"

“Listen to me,” Chen Ming interrupted him.

"I'll provide the money, you provide the labor. I'll leave the operation and management of this internet cafe to you from now on. I have other things to do."

Li Yu shook his head again: "No, no, this is too much. I'll take one-tenth, that's enough, really!"

He knew in his heart that Chen Ming was helping him indirectly.

Chen Ming knew Li Yu's temperament; once he got stubborn, not even ten oxen could pull him back.

He thought for a moment and then changed his approach: "Yu Zi, think about it. Your dad needs money for medical treatment, and you'll need money to get married in the future. What can 10% do? Besides, you're helping me manage the internet cafe, which saves me a lot of trouble and effort. This 50% is what you deserve."

Li Yu fell silent.

He also wanted to provide better treatment for his father and to live a better life for himself.

“Ming-ge, I…” Li Yu’s eyes reddened a little. He knew that Chen Ming was doing it for his own good.

Chen Ming patted Li Yu on the shoulder and said loudly:

"Stop saying anything, just do as I say, and stop making excuses."

"We're brothers, no need for such formalities. If you really feel bad about it, just give me a bigger share when the internet cafe makes money in the future."

Li Yu nodded heavily, choking back tears and unable to speak.

......

When Li Yu returned home, he excitedly told his parents about Chen Ming's decision.

At first, the two elders couldn't believe that Chen Ming was willing to split a 70,000 yuan deal 50/50. How could such a windfall have fallen into their son's lap?

Li Yu's father, Old Li, was bedridden for many years and had a sallow complexion. Upon hearing this news...

A rare glimmer of light appeared in his cloudy eyes:

“Mingzi is such a good kid! Yuzi, you must follow Mingzi closely from now on and not let him down.”

Li Yu's mother, Aunt Li, was happy, but more than that, she was worried:

"Seventy thousand yuan is no small sum. What if we lose it all? Why is this child so impulsive!"

Old Li sighed, "Sigh, Mingzi knows what he's doing, so let's not worry about it. Besides, even if we lose money, that's Mingzi's problem, it has nothing to do with us."

Aunt Li glared at him: "You make it sound so easy. How can it be okay if Yu Zi works for him? If they lose money, won't Yu Zi be burdened with debts too?"

Li Yu quickly reassured his mother, "Mom, don't worry, Ming said he won't lose money. He knows what he's doing."

Aunt Li was still worried: "He's just a student, what does he know about business? I've never even heard of an internet cafe, who knows if it can make money!"

Old Li waved his hand: "Don't say anymore, I believe in Mingzi. This kid has been smart since he was a child, full of clever ideas. Since he dares to do it, he must be confident. Look at his underground shopping mall, I heard from his father that Mingzi has earned tens of millions."

Old Li added, "That's tens of millions! We ordinary people wouldn't even dare to dream of it in our lifetime..."

Although Aunt Li said that, she started to make plans in her heart.

Although my family isn't wealthy, we've managed to save some money over the years.

Originally intended for Old Li's medical treatment, it now seems possible to give it to Li Yu.

“Yu Zi,” Aunt Li said.

“We still have five thousand yuan left. Take it and give it to Mingzi. Just say it’s from your investment.”

Li Yu was stunned: "Mom, how can this be? This is Dad's medical expenses!"

Old Li hesitated for a moment: "Isn't this... a bit too much?"

Aunt Li said decisively, "It's not much. Consider this money an investment. I have a good eye for Mingzi; he'll definitely amount to something in the future. And when he's successful, will he forget us?"
