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

Chen Ming stared at the computer screen in front of him, his thoughts churning.

The 80s were the era when internet cafes were booming!

Why didn't I seize this opportunity?

He turned to look at Gu Li and tentatively asked, "Do you know where I can get several of these computers?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Li smiled slightly: "What? You want to start a computer business?"

Chen Ming did not deny it, but answered honestly: "Yes, I have an idea..."

"Oh? Tell me about it." Gu Li looked at Chen Ming with great interest, gesturing for him to continue.

Chen Ming took a deep breath, organized his thoughts, and slowly said:

“I’ve noticed that there are many arcades on the market now, but they all play traditional arcade games. I think we could bring in computers and open a computer arcade so that people can experience more advanced games.”

"A computer game arcade?" Gu Li pondered for a moment. "That's quite novel."

Chen Ming added, "Yes, computer games are becoming more and more popular now, and I believe many people will like them."

“That’s interesting.” Gu Li nodded and pondered for a moment.

"I can get you a computer."

Chen Ming became excited and spoke faster: "I want to connect these computers to the internet so that everyone can play games together and have some competitions or something."

She suddenly burst into laughter, a clear and melodious sound. "Young man,"

She laughed as she lightly tapped the table with her finger. "You're really bold! Your idea is quite novel."

She paused, her smile widening. "But who plays computer games these days? Computers are so expensive,"

She shook her head. "How could an ordinary person afford that? Let alone go out and have fun?"

She seemed to think the idea was a bit far-fetched, and added, "That internet connection you mentioned is unheard of. Can it really be achieved?"

"It's about connecting all the computers together to form a local area network," Chen Ming explained. "That way, everyone can play games and communicate with each other in the same network environment."

Gu Li looked at Chen Ming, her eyes filled with curiosity: "It sounds complicated."

"It's actually not complicated," Chen Ming said confidently. "I can find professional technicians to set up the network and ensure everything runs smoothly."

"It will be like a large computer room, filled with computers, offering all kinds of games, and charged by the hour."

"How many computers do you need?" Gu Li asked.

"Our initial plan is to get twenty units first," Chen Ming replied after a moment's thought.

"If business is good, we can gradually increase it."

"Twenty units..." Gu Li hesitated for a moment, "I can get them for you, but regarding the price..."

"The price is negotiable," Chen Ming quickly said. "As long as the computer is of good quality and the price is reasonable, everything is negotiable."

"Okay, let's discuss this in more detail later," Gu Li nodded.

"Tell me about your internet cafe plan first."

Chen Ming excitedly revealed his entire internet cafe plan.

……

Having finished their conversation, Gu Li hummed a little tune as she went into the kitchen to start preparing a meal.

Chen Ming sat alone in the living room, idly flipping through a magazine.

At this moment, Xiao Ren came out of the room, holding a notebook and pen, and sat down at the dining table with a worried look on his face to start doing his homework.

Xiao Ren bit his pen, his brow furrowed, deep in thought as he pondered a math problem.

He doodled on the draft paper for a while, then rested his chin on his hand and muttered to himself, but he couldn't get the gist of it.

Seeing this, Chen Ming put down the magazine, got up and walked to Xiao Ren's side, asking with concern, "Have you encountered any difficulties?"

Xiao Ren looked up, pointed to a problem in his workbook, and said dejectedly, "I don't know how to do this problem."

Chen Ming bent down, looked at the question carefully, and said with a smile, "This question is actually not difficult. I'll teach you."

So Chen Ming patiently explained the problem-solving approach to Xiao Ren and demonstrated the solution steps one by one.

Xiao Ren listened very attentively, nodding occasionally to show his understanding.

Under Chen Ming's careful guidance, Xiao Ren finally understood how to solve the problem and a smile appeared on his face.

He picked up his pen, quickly wrote down the solution process in his workbook, and excitedly said to Chen Ming, "I did it! Thank you, brother!"

Chen Ming ruffled Xiao Ren's hair and encouraged him, "Great job! You can ask me anytime you encounter a problem."

Just then, Gu Li came out of the kitchen carrying several steaming dishes and happened to see this scene.

A relieved smile appeared on her face as she thought, "This young man is not only thoughtful but also very patient; he's a really good person."

She placed the dishes on the table and said to Chen Ming, "Chen Ming, why don't you tutor Xiao Ren?"

Chen Ming recalled his earlier conversation with Gu Li about the computer and thought that if he could cultivate a good relationship with Xiao Ren,

It would also help with his plans, so he readily agreed: "Sure, no problem."

Gu Li said happily, "That's great! Xiao Ren, from now on you will learn from Brother Chen Ming, and you must be a good boy/girl."

Xiao Ren nodded happily: "Yes! I will!"

Gu Li invited Chen Ming over to eat: "The food is ready, let's eat first and chat while we eat."

After the meal, Chen Ming was very satisfied. He got up to say goodbye to Gu Li and said with a smile, "Sister Li, I'm going back now. I'll leave the computer to you."

Gu Li smiled and replied, "Be careful on the road." Chen Ming waved to Xiao Ren, "Xiao Ren, see you tomorrow!"

He then turned and left Gu Li's house, returning to the air-raid shelter to continue supervising the construction.

......

The next morning, Chen Ming got up early, full of energy, and rushed to school.

High school life in the 1980s was not as colorful as it is in later years; besides studying,

There seemed to be no other entertainment options; they were stuck in the classroom all day long.

It's incredibly boring.

Having finally endured the break between classes, Chen Ming immediately stood up.

He couldn't wait to find his good friend Li Yu and share what happened last night with him, as well as his plans for the internet cafe.

He strode through the crowded corridor, his eyes searching for Li Yu's figure in the crowd.

Finally, at the classroom door, he saw Li Yu chatting with several classmates.

Chen Ming waved excitedly at him and shouted, "Yu Zi! Hey, Yu Zi! I'm here!"

Hearing Chen Ming's shout, Li Yu turned around, saw him, and walked over with a smile. "What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Li Yu asked.

Chen Ming grabbed Li Yu's arm and said mysteriously, "Hey, Yu Zi, I have something to tell you that will keep you so excited you won't be able to sleep!"

He pulled Li Yu to a corner of the playground, looked around to make sure no one was around, and then spoke mysteriously.
