Just as he was writing and drawing with pen and paper, Shen Lan pushed open the office door.

Less than half an hour ago, she sent a text message asking if he would come today. After receiving a positive reply, she moved quickly.

Xu Zhe glanced at her.

Shen Lan didn't have a backpack today, and her hands were empty. She didn't look like she was here to study or work, but more like...

"I actually came here to say goodbye," the girl smiled as she leaned against the door frame, "You know, that school's vacations are never long, and I should go to the provincial capital."

Xu Zhe nodded, not knowing what to say.

After hesitating for two seconds, he could only say: "Be careful on the road, and have a safe trip."

Shen Lan: "Before I leave, would you like to take a walk with me or play some ball? You must be very busy during this holiday, do you want to change your mood?"

Xu Zhe thought for a moment and replied, "Just play basketball. The last time I played basketball was with my dad, and I didn't get abused badly enough."

Shen Lan smiled and said, "Do you like being tortured badly?"

Xu Zhe: "Let me see the strength of a master."

Shen Lan: "Then let's go now."

"Wait a minute, let me see something else."

After saying that, Xu Zhe took the computer in front of him, opened the developer interface, and looked at the data again.

The total sales of the game "Fruit Cutting" at this time: 38507 copies.

Shen Lan came over to take a look, and her eyes lit up in surprise. She asked in surprise, "Have tens of thousands of copies been sold? That's amazing?"

Xu Zhe's expression was not so happy. He just analyzed: "It's less than I thought. The price has been reduced, but the sales are still average. Maybe we have to wait until the next generation of Pingguo mobile phone comes out..."

Shen Lan was a little confused: "The price dropped? When did it drop?"

What Xu Zhe subconsciously said before was that the price had dropped compared to the prototype template in the previous life. Because he thought that his production level was not as good as others, especially the game screen was qualitatively different, so he reduced the price. However, in this life, the prototype template game has not been released online yet.

So he argued: "Oh, I mean compared to the price I set at the beginning, this is already a lot lower."

"Is that so..." Shen Lan took another look at the sales figure, "But when converted, this is already more than 100,000 yuan! And the first month is not even over yet. Aren't you satisfied with making money so quickly?"

Xu Zhe shook his head slightly: "I set the price so low just to occupy the market as quickly as possible. But now it seems that the cut fruit still cannot reach the level I imagined. If I had known that the sales volume would be at this level, I would have set the price higher."

Shen Lan asked curiously: "In your imagination, what level should this game be?"

Xu Zhe really wanted to say "globally popular level", but in the end he couldn't say it out loud.

He stood up and put on his coat: "Let's not talk about this anymore, let's go and play ball."

----

When Xu Zhe and Shen Lan arrived at her family's billiard room, he noticed that the boss behind the counter had a strange look on his face.

When Uncle Shen saw his daughter and the boy, he cast a complicated look at her, as if he felt guilty and regretful... but that look was gone in a flash. Uncle lowered his head to look at the computer, which made Xu Zhe wonder if he had seen it wrong or thought too much.

They each picked a club, and the selected table lit up.

Shen Lan placed the ball and said with a smile, "You come and drive it. Use more force."

Xu Zhe: "I'll let you clear the table with one shot, right?"

Shen Lan tilted her head and smiled.

Xu Zhe really hit the ball hard, making the ball very scattered. And still, not a single ball went in.

It was Shen Lan's turn to start. Once she started, she couldn't stop.

Xu Zhe stood by and admired the girl's heroic batting style.

In addition to scoring points, Shen Lan also had some free time to chat: "Will you have hundreds of thousands of dollars in your account next month?"

Xu Zhe shook his head. "It's too early. Pingguo is very domineering. They will first take 30% of the profit, and then the remaining 70% will be held for a month. For example, this month's income will not be settled until next month, and an email notification will be sent. The bank account will actually receive the money in the month after next."

Shen Lan: "Are you deliberately delaying it for a month or two?"

Xu Zhe: "This way they can have more cash flow. It's a classic trick."

Shen Lan: "But they are the only company making smartphones, so we don't have a choice, right?"

Xu Zhe smiled slightly: "Indeed, but it will be different in two years. There will be other platforms competing with Pingguo."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Lan took the last black eight, and at this time, Xu Zhe didn't even have a chance to get a shot.

The girl smiled and said, "Am I going a little too far?"

Xu Zhe: "It doesn't matter. I came here today just to be abused. Let me see your swing posture and aiming habits. I can use them as a template to learn from."

"Okay then." Shen Lan put down the club and rearranged the ball.

Xu Zhe continued to serve, and even with great effort he failed to perform a miracle, and still none of the balls went in.

Shen Lan continued to play, clearing them one by one, from the stroke to the movement, everything was clean and neat.

The girl suddenly added, "But even if it's delayed for two months, you can get about 100,000 yuan soon after the new semester starts, right?"

Xu Zhe nodded: "That's right."

Shen Lan paused in her batting motion. She imagined what she could do with 100,000 yuan, and then sighed, "How can a junior high school student easily earn 100,000 yuan? You are too amazing..."

Xu Zhe: "Well, thank you for the compliment."

He originally wanted to say that compared to his grand blueprint, 100,000 yuan was really nothing, but on second thought, he realized that such a statement did seem a bit unacceptable.

Shen Lan asked again: "What do you plan to do with this money?"

Xu Zhe answered without hesitation: "New computer, new phone, all top-of-the-line. Why do I need air cooling on the chassis? I'll just use liquid cooling, max out the configuration!"

Shen Lan couldn't bear to look any further, so she stood up and looked at him, muttering, "You are too..."

Xu Zhe: "Are you trying to say that I'm a straight man?"

Shen Lan: "What does 'iron straight man' mean?"

Xu Zhe: "I just don't have any romantic sentiment. I don't want to please others. I just live for my own ideas."

Shen Lan tilted her head and thought about it, then couldn't help laughing out loud: "Haha, that's really your style!"

135. Chapter 135 134 Childhood Sweethearts in Crisis

135.

2023-09-12

Winter vacation is over.

Xu Zhe had long been accustomed to the hustle and bustle of the new semester, but he found it hard to get used to the fact that he still had responsibilities to fulfill in the midst of this hustle and bustle.

After each class representative collected the homework, the list of students who did not hand in their homework would be compiled into Xu Zhe's hand. In addition, he was also responsible for notifying the class teacher of various things...

It sounds quite busy, but after starting to do it, Xu Zhe found that the actual workload was not that large.

And while other students had to sit in their seats obediently, he was the only one who could run around, moving between classrooms, corridors and teachers' offices, and he felt more free.

When passing by the door of Class 2, Xu Zhe slowed down and took a look inside.

The door of the classroom was open.

He saw Tang Lingfei chatting with a female classmate in the back row. She looked very happy, but no one knew what they were talking about...

At this time, the girl seemed to say something, and then Tang Lingfei quickly turned around and met Xu Zhe's gaze.

Tang Lingfei waved her hand as a greeting, and her little face was immediately filled with a smile, revealing the joy she couldn't help but feel when she saw him.

Xu Zhe smiled and nodded, then walked away from the door of Class 2 classroom.

And in this classroom, where his eyes just swept over, the two girls sitting one in front of the other were still chatting.

"Is that your childhood sweetheart?"

"Yeah, yeah, you know, he's amazing..."

The girl covered her mouth and smiled, "I know. You've told me several times that he can write code and make money in junior high school. He is also the top student in our grade. He is very smart."

Tang Lingfei nodded vigorously: "Yes, very smart."

The female classmate teased, "I just saw that he looks pretty good, don't you like him?"

Tang Lingfei: "Uh..."

The girl couldn't help but get stuck.

She was embarrassed to say she liked him, but it seemed dishonest to say she didn't.

At this moment, another girl came over and said, "Fei Fei, do you know Xu Zhe? That's great. Can you tell him to wait for me on the playground after school?"

Tang Lingfei turned around and saw that it was Sun Jiaqi.

The atmosphere in Class 2 is quite lively, and there are a few pretty girls who are recognized as the most popular and are considered the class beauties in the eyes of their classmates. Among them are Tang Lingfei and Sun Jiaqi.

Tang Lingfei's advantage is that she has a lively personality and loves to play and make noises. She can play football and basketball like boys in physical education class, and she can also chat happily with girls in normal times. Her academic performance is also good, so it is difficult to dislike her.

Sun Jiaqi's reputation is more polarized. Girls generally don't like her because she flirted with almost every good-looking boy in the class and had several casual relationships. The longest one lasted less than half a month. And every time she announced a breakup, some girls started to get nervous, fearing that the boy they liked would be snatched away.

This time, it was finally Tang Lingfei's turn to be the nervous one.

She asked hesitantly, "What... do you want to see Xu Zhe for?"

Sun Jiaqi smiled and said, "I think he is very good, so I want to give it a try with him."

Tang Lingfei: "..."

The girl in the back row who was chatting just now couldn't help but say: "That's Feifei's childhood sweetheart, what are you thinking about?"

Sun Jiaqi: "Since we are childhood sweethearts, why don't you make a move? Don't you like her?"

Tang Lingfei finally got a little angry: "Because we all think that we shouldn't be so casual."

Sun Jiaqi: "Do you all think so? You think so, but what about Xu Zhe? Maybe he wants to fall in love?"

Recalling her childhood sweetheart's words and deeds over the past year or two, Tang Lingfei was quite confident and sneered, "He doesn't want to at all."

Sun Jiaqi: "Okay, then please tell him I want to see him."

Tang Lingfei: "Go find it yourself if you want to. I won't help you pass the message."

The two of them stared at each other, and the situation was deadlocked for a moment.

After a stalemate, Sun Jiaqi suddenly smiled and said, "Then I'll go find him myself. Tomorrow, I'll hold his hand and show you, how about that?"

Tang Lingfei snorted, crossed her arms over her chest, and looked disdainful: "Go ahead if you have the guts!"

----

"Little Leaf, Little Leaf, what if she really goes?"

During the next break, Tang Lingfei grabbed Song Xingye's arm with both hands and shook it with an anxious look on her face.

Song Xingye originally just wanted to go to the bathroom or take a walk with her best friend, but who knew she would hear such news and immediately fell into deep thought.

After thinking for a while, she said, "I don't think Xu Zhe would agree. Even if Sun Jiaqi from your class really approached him, it would be useless. He has said more than once that he would not consider dating in middle school, and that it would only be possible in college."

Tang Lingfei said pitifully: "But no one has ever confessed to him before..."

Song Xingye: "There was Shen Lan before. Senior Shen Lan is pretty and smart. This kind of sister type should be especially popular among boys of our age, right? Xu Zhe didn't fall for Shen Lan, so there's no reason why he would be won over by someone who just shows up."

Tang Lingfei: "But, has Senior Sister Shen Lan ever confessed her love to him?"

Regarding this question, Song Xingye could only shake his head: "I don't know either."

Tang Lingfei: "Senior Sister Shen Lan brought him water, studied, played ball, worked, and skied with him. But Senior Sister Shen Lan seems to be a very proud person, so she probably won't confess her feelings, right?"

"That means Xu Zhe has never been confessed to before..." Muttering like this, even Song Xingye couldn't feel at ease.

Of course, she could use reason to convince her best friend that Xu Zhe, a wooden man, would not be tempted. But because her own emotions were also dragged into it, she couldn't use reason to convince herself.

So the two little girls looked at each other, and their eyes became more and more nervous.

Tang Lingfei asked anxiously: "Then what should we do?"

Song Xingye pondered for a moment and said decisively: "It's better to be safe than sorry. Let me tell you, I'm Xu Zhe's deskmate. I'll get information from Xu Zhe and give him a shot of prevention. You're in the same class with Sun Jiaqi, so you can observe her movements at any time. If there's any movement, we can communicate at any time."
