Chapter XVI
Hanhai internet bar
"How nostalgic…"
Linhai Second High School is not far away,
Gu Lin, who was carrying his school bag, did not go home. Instead, he stood in front of a self-operated internet cafe.
Looking at the plaque above his head, his eyes were filled with nostalgia.
He sighed and muttered.
Time flew by.
Soon, this internet cafe, which seemed to be doing very well, would be drowned in the rapid development of the times.
"Hey, Gu Lin?"
"Why are you here?"
"Let me tell you, you're not allowed to go online here!”
"If my dad finds out that you're playing here, he'll skin me alive!”
Gu Lin only stood at the door for a while.
The door of the internet cafe opened by itself.
A man with dyed yellow hair, wearing a leather jacket, ripped jeans, and a small leather bag walked out. He was dressed like a hooligan.
He was very tall and strong, and he looked quite oppressive.
He spoke with a thick Fengtian accent.
He was probably the type of local ruffian that ordinary people were not willing to get close to.
However,
Gu Lin did not mind at all. Instead, he laughed.
He leaned forward and gave the other party a hug."Calm down, calm down ~ Brother, I'm not here to play! Why can't I come and see you?"
"Stop talking nonsense! Your priority now is to study hard! Don't be like me in the future!"
"I heard that you left the elite class? What's going on!"
"Damn! The elite class was also taught by the same teacher! It was almost the same! It's alright!"
Gu Lin just smiled at him and said casually.
Qi Hanhai,
It was the name of the man dressed like a hooligan in front of her.
He was three years older than Gu Lin and was the son of his father's comrade.
He dropped out of high school!
After going through some wasted time and experiencing some beatings from society.
Raising money to open such an internet cafe!
The internet café industry was still relatively popular, so the days were gradually getting better.
Gu Lin had played with him since they were young and had a good relationship.
Gu Lin was an only child.
His parents came from the countryside and did not have many relatives around them. Naturally, he did not have any brothers.
But this person in front of him…
Although they were not blood-related, they were not much different from blood brothers.
Even local ruffians had feelings they cherished.
Although this person was quite a hooligan when he was young and did many foolish things.
Uncle Qi was often angered by him.
However, as a brother, he treated Gu Lin very well and had never mistreated him.
When Gu Lin was in junior high school, he had to move to another school.
The school's atmosphere was not very good, and it was being bullied by a few local school bullies.
His elder brother brought a few people to "educate" the school bully of Gu Lin's school.
Since then,
Gu Lin had also become a legend that the school could not afford to provoke.
"How can that be the same! The elite class must be the best!"
Only after being beaten up by society did he realize the importance of learning.
Qi Hanhai glared at Gu Lin and reprimanded him.
His younger brother was very smart!
He should have a brighter future!
She definitely couldn't let him be like her…sloppy…
"Damn, let's not talk about this anymore, brother! I came to look for you right after the holidays. Aren't you going to bring me in?”
Gu Lin winked at him and said with a faint smile.
"Of course, there's no problem! But you can forget about playing on the computer!"
"Damn! I'm not playing!"
During the holidays, Gu Lin's parents allowed him to relax and play games.
Looking at his cautious brother,
Gu Lin couldn't help but smile.
……
"Tell me, what are you doing here?"
The small internet cafe was neither big nor small, but there were not many empty rooms.
Qi Hanhai brought Gu Lin to a private room and the two of them sat on computer chairs.
He casually threw a bottle of coke at Gu Lin and asked indifferently.
"Brother, how long do you plan to open this internet cafe?”
Gu Lin looked at the decor of the internet cafe and the bright screen in front of him.
He really didn't play the game and only asked the other party gently.
"How long? Drive as long as you can!”
Qi Hanhai was stunned. He did not expect Gu Lin to ask him this question.
Then, he shrugged and said indifferently.
Opening an internet cafe was one of the few good moves in his life.
Now that he was earning a lot of money every day, it was probably enough for him to live a good life.
"Brother, what if I tell you that your internet cafe can only operate for another five years at most?”
" What did you say?!"
Qi Hanhai's eyes suddenly shrank, his voice involuntarily also raised a few degrees.
"Did you get any news?"
He frowned and asked Gu Lin.
Her younger brother was sometimes frivolous and humorous.
However, he knew that the other party would not joke with him about this.
"More or less!"
Gu Lin shrugged and said indifferently.
In fact, this internet cafe had only been open for three more years.
Gu Lin said that five years was the time he could help Qi Hanhai extend his business life.
When the era of 4G and 5G arrived, mobile phones replaced computers as the mainstream of people's lives and work. Every household also had their own computers.
This industry would wither and wither at the fastest speed possible.
The only ones that survived were the high-end internet cafes left behind by the waves.
But even so, it was still difficult for him to struggle.
Obviously,
This small internet café, which was poorly run and had constant problems, was not one of them.
Even Gu Lin was not confident that he could keep this place alive.
Three years later, it closed down and became a hotpot restaurant.
Qi Hanhai had previously borrowed a lot of money to buy a computer and rent a house. After paying off the debt, he did not save much.
Later on, he made a living as a delivery man, and his life was quite hard.
"What do you mean?"
Qi Hanhai knocked the coke in his hand onto the table and stared at Gu Lin.
"Brother, don't you think this thing is changing too quickly?”
"Don't you think that the times are developing too fast?”
"Did you see the news? The 4G era is coming!”
Gu Lin casually placed his phone on the table and gently tapped on the screen as he asked indifferently.
"What do you mean?"
Qi Hanhai frowned slightly.
"4G gives mobile phones faster internet access, cheaper data, and free wifi at home!”
"It means that very soon, everyone will be able to watch videos and play games on their phones…"
"Brother, do you understand what I mean?"
Gu Lin tapped the table lightly and spoke calmly.
She looked at her brother quietly.
Inexplicably,
Qi Hanhai felt that the other party's gaze seemed to be able to penetrate everything and see into his heart.
His fingers tapped on his chest.
It had been a few months.
This younger brother of his seemed to have changed!
