Xu Zhe: "If you are willing, I won't object. The problem is, I don't even have a rag here. I just wipe the table with paper..."

This little obstacle couldn't stop Song Xingye: "It doesn't matter, just let my dad buy the rags, brooms, mops, etc., isn't it?"

Song Huaifeng: “?”

Xu Zhe didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You are adding to your father's workload."

"My dad is an employee here anyway, so it's normal for him to clean. Besides, he doesn't even need to clean. Just buy the things and I'll do it for him."

Song Xingye's smile was still as sweet as ever, but these words didn't sound so sweet to her father's ears.

Song Huaifeng couldn't help but start to doubt his life - how come the little cotton-padded jacket he had raised for more than ten years was not warm at all?

----

After Song Huaifeng bought the sanitary products, he left in a hurry. He wanted to stay here and watch over his daughter, but his shift at the computer city was up, so he had to go there to make a living.

Fortunately, his daughter and Xu Zhe were not alone in the same room. There was also a classmate named Shen Lan in the office. This made the father feel a little relieved.

That's right, Song Huaifeng had no doubt that his daughter liked someone. His daughter had always been well-behaved, had excellent grades, and Xu Zhe was special, so he couldn't forcefully interfere. After all, how could a man who had almost abandoned his wife and daughter to commit suicide not long ago have the nerve to put on a tough stance?

But if he really wanted his daughter who was in junior high school to have a relationship, Song Huaifeng still felt that he couldn't accept it psychologically. Fortunately, Xu Zhe didn't have that intention now. So Song Huaifeng thought, let's put it off for a year...

However, as soon as the father left, the atmosphere in the office became weird.

Xu Zhe was still staring at the computer screen.

Shen Lan seemed to be concentrating on reading the information, but from time to time, her eyes would drift to Song Xingye.

Song Xingye was busy in the office, first wiping the table, then sweeping and mopping the floor... The girl worked very motivated and didn't mind the dirt or tiredness at all.

"Xu Zhe, please move aside. I'll finish mopping soon!"

"Senior, please give way for a moment. I'll be done soon."

Song Xingye's work made Shen Lan feel a sense of crisis - would Xu Zhe prefer a good wife and mother? Pretty, cute, well-behaved and sensible, and would take the initiative to work and clean, could a boy resist such a girl?

However, at this time, Xu Zhe did not notice the subtle expressions of the girls at all.

He suddenly stood up: "Ah! Good! I won!"

Song Xingye stopped the mop in his hand and looked at him blankly.

Shen Lan also looked at him, and suddenly had a guess, and asked hurriedly: "Has Pingguo officially recommended it?"

Xu Zhe laughed and said, “Yes, they will display it directly on the homepage of the App Store, in the daily new release section!”

"That's great!" Shen Lan also laughed. She suddenly thought that cleaning was a simple job that anyone could do, but who else could understand Xu Zhe's words like she did and share the satisfaction of her career with him?

But then, Song Xingye smiled and said, "Do you want to celebrate? The ski resort is open again. Didn't we have a lot of fun last time..."

Xu Zhe: "Skiing? Sure."

Shen Lan frowned, feeling that this girl surnamed Song was really extraordinary, and was completely different from her childhood sweetheart surnamed Tang.

It’s dangerous. It’s so dangerous!

124. Chapter 124 Newbie's Remarks on the Release

124.

2023-09-07

With nearly 26 words, this book is finally going to be on the shelves!

First of all, thank you for your support. Because of you, this book can be passed

As a new author with no foundation, it is very difficult to get to this point today. In order to make the plot natural and smooth, and to make the characters more vivid, I need to come up with a lot of details, and I must constantly check the logic before and after. This really requires hard work. Of course, the author's ability is limited, and it is impossible to really achieve perfection. Please understand.

Some of the things I said are old hat, such as authors need royalties to support them...

Because I am not a full-time author, I have to write in my spare time at work, and I have to do my best to ensure the quality and quantity. Inevitably, I have to sacrifice my original entertainment time. The Dyson Sphere production line that opened this year has been shut down for a long time, Civilization has not been opened for several months, and Steam now almost only uses the little red car to calm down. I dare not touch mobile games that require daily logins, let alone the card pool, and I don’t have time to claim the free characters. I have only heard of the new games released in the past two months but have never played them.

And the subsequent updates will inevitably take up part of my sleep time...

However, as long as there is money for writing, I have the confidence to use it to smooth out the unnecessary details in life and spend as much time and energy as possible on writing. For example, I don’t have to squeeze into the subway to go to get off work, but directly take an online taxi, and I can think and write on my phone in the car.

And this requires the support of every reader friend.

Let me make a promise with you all here. The first part is the first subscription (the number of subscriptions in the first 24 hours after the release) and the second part is the average subscription (the average number of subscriptions per chapter). I will update five chapters tomorrow, and then add more depending on the number of subscriptions:

The first order starts from 1000, and an additional chapter will be added for every additional 300, with no upper limit.

When the average subscription reaches 2000, I will no longer update twice a day, and will update three chapters a day at least; when the average subscription reaches 4000, I will update four chapters a day - I would like more, but there are human limits. I really can't write words a day, otherwise I can't guarantee the quality of the text.

In other words, even if there are four chapters a day, eight or nine thousand words, the daily subscription fee is probably only two or three cents? The price seems to fluctuate according to the user level of Qidian, but in short, the subscription fee for reading tens of thousands of words can't buy a bottle of Coke. As an entertainment project, this is much cheaper than the charge of Shen Lan's billiard hall. Therefore, friends who are willing to read and have the financial conditions, I hope they can read the genuine version as much as possible.

By the way, in a while, the author will open a VIP reader group, and all subscribed readers can join the group. At that time, some small extra chapters will be updated in the V group. Well, after all, the review standards of Yuewen are still too restrictive for me to play. However, the protagonists are still too young now, and many extra chapters are difficult to write. When the plot advances to the university chapter, then...

By the way, let me talk about the chapter titles of this book. Many people have noticed that the chapter titles before this are all song titles, and they can all be found on a certain cloud.

Many authors are a bit quirky about chapter titles, for example, they have to use two-word, three-word, or a line of poetry... I don't know what others think, but for me, chapter titles use song titles and they are always somewhat related to the content of the chapter. This behavior is like having to place the ball with the valve facing down when kicking a free kick, or having to straighten the lines before shooting a free throw. It is a kind of ritual.

Or maybe obsessive-compulsive disorder.

However, after the release, there are really not enough song titles, and most foreign song titles are not easy to force, so I will find a new sense of ritual. I haven't decided yet whether each chapter name must be four characters or what, there is still time, I will think about it.

Of course, that doesn’t matter. What’s important is always the content of the text, the story itself.

All in all, this writing journey also started when a reader fell into a book drought one day. I hope I can write something that I find interesting and that others find interesting, that's all.

see you tomorrow!

125. Chapter 125 124 Muddy Waters

125.

2023-09-08

They had lunch today at a small noodle restaurant near the office.

Xu Zhe asked the two girls to sit down first and reserved seats while he went to the counter to order food. However, when he came back after ordering, he encountered a small problem.

Song Xingye and Shen Lan were sitting face to face.

There are empty benches next to both of them, so they can sit down. So, who should I choose to sit next to?

If it was before, Xu Zhe would not bother to consider this question, since it made no difference. But now the two girls were staring at him quietly, as if waiting for his choice.

What should I do?

Xu Zhe remained calm, dragged a bench to the third side, and sat down beside the two of them. In this way, he was neither beside Song Xingye nor beside Shen Lan, but between them.

Shen Lan and Song Xingye were both startled. However, Xu Zhe's movements and expressions were quite natural, and they couldn't even guess whether Xu Zhe was aware of the multiple-choice question just now, or whether he did it on purpose.

When the waiter brought three bowls of beef noodles, they started eating and chatting.

The topic quickly focused on the mini-game that had just been released.

After listening to Xu Zhe's explanation, Song Xingye said, "It turns out that new software can be installed on mobile phones. I always thought that mobile phones were only used for making calls and sending text messages."

Shen Lan: "I can still access the Internet, but the speed is too slow and the web pages are too simple."

Xu Zhe: "It will not be like this in the future. In the future, there may be more businesses making mobile software than those making computer software, because there are many more application scenarios."

Song Xingye repeated doubtfully: "Application scenario?"

Although Shen Lan was also unfamiliar with this word, she had already seen Xu Zhe's promise last year, so she could guess what the word meant and what he wanted to express.

Xu Zhe explained: "It's about the environment in which you use it and what you use it for. Computers are used at home or in the office, or in Internet cafes, which are fixed locations where you have to sit and use the computer. But mobile phones are different. No matter where you go, whether in the car, on the bed, on the toilet, you can use your mobile phone almost anywhere. It has such a wide range of application scenarios, but so far, its use has only been to make calls and send text messages. Do you know what this means?"

Song Xingye blinked, waiting for his next words.

But Shen Lan said the next sentence first: "This means opportunities. With a smartphone, you can install various apps and use it in any environment. For example, when surfing the Internet, the web pages that can be viewed on mobile phones are very simple. What if we make a browser specifically for mobile phones?"

Xu Zhe knocked on the table. "Just now I went to the counter and ordered from the waiter. I will pay with paper money after I finish eating. Think about it, if a QR code is posted on each table, I can scan it with my mobile phone to automatically enter the ordering app and pay online. The kitchen will take the order immediately and bring it to my table after it is ready. Wouldn't the efficiency be improved immediately?"

Song Xingye imagined it. She could imagine the scene, but it was hard to believe it immediately.

The girl hesitated and said, "In that case, isn't it a bit sci-fi..."

Xu Zhe: “No, this is not science fiction at all. It is actually not technically difficult to realize, but no one has done it yet. Of course, this is not something we can do, let alone a payment system. But in the next few years, the scenario I mentioned will appear, for sure.”

Shen Lan suddenly asked, "Will even waiters and chefs be replaced by technology in the future? Just like many factories now have automated equipment, cooking can also be automated in the future, right?"

Xu Zhe: “It will change, but not as simple as the ordering system. But I am actually thinking, in addition to regular jobs, whether the role of boss will be replaced by artificial intelligence.”

Shen Lan couldn't help but laugh: "How is that possible?"

Xu Zhe: "We'll see later... Don't just chat, eat. The noodles are going to clumping up."

Song Xingye nodded and continued to eat her noodles. Her eating movements were still so gentle, so naturally she didn't eat fast.

Shen Lan picked up a piece of noodles and said, "Are you going skiing this afternoon?"

Xu Zhe: "Going today?"

Song Xingye: "I was going to say tomorrow..."

Shen Lan smiled and asked, "It can be done today, since everyone is free. How about adding me?"

Song Xingye agreed very readily: "If Xu Zhe has no problem with it, then of course I can do it too!"

The two girls looked at each other. Although there were smiles on their pretty faces and their tone was gentle and friendly, Xu Zhe next to them always felt that something was wrong.

He realized that it was normal for Shen Lan to want to go skiing together, but why didn't Song Xingye resist at all? What was she thinking?

Xu Zhe couldn't figure out the reason, so he could only lower his head and continue eating noodles.

Tang Lingfei is doing homework at home.

Her final grades in the first semester of the second year of junior high school were better than those of the previous semester. Her parents were very satisfied with the tutoring results of Xu Zhe and Song Xingye, and they were not as strict with her as last year.

After lunch, Tang Lingfei could watch TV, but she chose to do her winter vacation homework.

If she studies a little longer now, she will have more time to chat and rest when the two tutors come to teach her. For Tang Lingfei, she will have a lot of fun chatting with Xu Zhe or Song Xingye.

Suddenly, the cell phone rang.

Tang Lingfei answered the call without checking the caller ID. Then she heard a familiar voice and realized that it was Song Xingye who called.

"Feifei, do you want to go skiing this afternoon?"

"This afternoon?" Tang Lingfei was surprised. "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Song Xingye: "Because Xu Zhe's game has good news today, we thought we could celebrate. In addition to Xu Zhe and me, Senior Sister Shen Lan will also come."

Tang Lingfei was even more surprised: "Why is she with you guys?!"

Song Xingye: "It should be said that she originally worked with Xu Zhe, and I forced her in. If I hadn't come today, then the one celebrating with Xu Zhe would be Senior Sister Shen Lan. Do you know what this means?"

Tang Lingfei: "What does it mean..."

Song Xingye paused for two seconds and said meaningfully: "She can use the celebration as an excuse to eat delicious food and have fun with Xu Zhe. Maybe she will take the opportunity to do something else?"

Tang Lingfei thought about it and realized the danger: "Will you confess your feelings?"

Song Xingye: "That's possible. But don't worry, I'm here, so she won't succeed. Now the question is, do you want to play with us?"

Tang Lingfei stood up immediately: "Why ask? Where are you now? I'll be right there!"

Song Xingye said, "Wait a minute, you'd better get there before us..."
