CHAPTER 39: CHAPTER 39: TWO PIG-HEADED FOOLS ARE BASICALLY SATISFIED

Old Chen managed to maintain his dignity as the head teacher of Class One, sternly refusing the students who just wanted to let loose after the exams.

And about drinking? Why bother?

Considering how hard things usually were for Chu River, gosh, even getting enough to eat was a question!

Thinking of this, Old Chen, feeling a bit bold, dug into his wallet and pulled out 200 bucks—

After all, as a middle-aged man, he felt insecure without carrying cash.

Without a word, he stuffed the 200 yuan into his student’s hand.

He solemnly said:

"Hold onto this, and don’t tell your parents."

Chu River: ...

If you hadn’t mentioned it, she really might have forgotten she had parents.

But she had already dealt with them last time, what should she do now, go beat them again for fun?

In Old Chen’s eyes, her hesitation implied that the child was clearly moved again.

What’s this compared to?

Old Chen, feeling awkward, coughed and tried to explain:

"Don’t overthink it, this is just an advance for you to have a nice meal to replenish yourself."

"You’ve worked hard during this time. If you really bring back the top scorer title for the teacher, the bonus will be much more than this, don’t be shy, take it!"

Ultimately, as a teacher, he was logically thorough. Even though he was confident about Chu River, when it came to the college entrance exam, sometimes confidence alone wasn’t enough.

What if, right?

So, he added another long-winded comment: "Don’t worry if you’re not the top scorer, I’ll still get a bonus!"

Chu River: ...

Is Old Chen looking down on me, Chu Fa Da!

Old Chen, who looked down on Chu Fa Da, continued to babble.

He glanced at the increasingly elegant girl in front of him and reminded her with concern:

"I’ll tell you, finishing the exam doesn’t mean you can completely relax. As a young lady, you need to protect yourself when you’re out, don’t learn from others to drink and whatnot..."

"Does alcohol not cost money! When you become successful, the teacher will drink Maotai with you!"

Maotai?!

Chu River instantly realized what she had missed last time.

She decided that she’d go home later!

Not just for those two bottles of Maotai, but to teach her parents again.

Blame myself, the first time on Mountain and Sea Star with no experience, I forgot Maotai could be exchanged for money.

Plus the household registration book and documents taken last time, those need to be dealt with properly too.

What’s that saying in Mountain and Sea Star?

Parents usually don’t behave because they’re spoiled. A couple of beatings usually fix that.

These two, even when I hit them last time, asked if there was money. Yet, they deliberately hid the wine...

Tsk tsk tsk.

Chu River bid farewell to Old Chen and headed towards her home with high spirits.

Let’s say, her parents were truly worthy of it!

With a hint of uncommon timidity.

Before a slap could land, her biological father Chu Fugui had already felt the pain he couldn’t finish experiencing last time, wailing and directing her mother:

"Quickly give her everything valuable at home!"

What about that!

The man wasn’t making things difficult for his wife, after all, what valuable things were there at home?

Bai Mei shrank back, looking at this strange and violent daughter, now said with a long face:

"I only earn 2500 yuan a month, not worth much..."

Chu River: ...

At this moment, she finally understood the true meaning of "speechless with emotion."

So she couldn’t help but touch her own head—

With such intelligence from these two, how much effort did it take in the gene mutations to produce such a clever original self!

She turned around and grabbed the two bottles of Maotai still stored in the cupboard, then stepped out the door.

Along the way, she bumped into Aunt Gao next door, who looked at her with surprise:

"Oh my, isn’t this Little He? Haven’t seen you for a while, you’ve lost weight!"

"But you’ve grown taller..."

With a mouth like that, and Chu River didn’t even utter a word, Aunt Gao already filled it with her own imagination of love-hate stories and dramas, at last, still not forgetting to ask with concern:

"I remember the college entrance exam ended today, right? The results—"

Halfway through, she remembered not to ask about these things right after the exams, so she changed the subject:

"Why don’t you come over to Auntie’s for dinner tonight, Auntie will cook you some ribs!"

It’d be a lie to say Chu River wasn’t tempted.

But now she’s carrying 3.5 million yuan, so going to eat ribs couldn’t shake her determined soul.

As for why the originally agreed 2 million remuneration turned into 3.5 million...

This matter, perhaps the two dudes still recovering could explain.

Don’t ask, just pretend it’s due to rich experience and learned skills.

Isn’t it just about beating people?

The rich second generation felt comforted, the two dudes were only slightly injured, and Chu Fa Da himself received a huge sum—

I believe all three parties are very satisfied; it’s also a small testament to her ability.

Holding the two bottles of wine in her hand and having a pocket full of money, Chu River wasn’t thinking at all about selling the wine for cash; instead, she decided to find a hotel and really savor the acclaimed drink cherished by the Mountain and Sea Star people!

Of course, before that, there’s something else—

She needs to buy a smartphone.

Otherwise, in a place like Tianshui City where you can’t even find a public phone booth, how was she supposed to contact her sisters and little brothers, using her mind?

...

Back again to that digital city, the banner at the entrance already boldly unfurled—

[With the exam admission ticket, the whole venue gets a 20% discount]

Chu River strolled in, not caring much about anything, just grabbing 5, 6, or even 7 or 8 phones from each brand, that’s enough.

Oh, I also need a laptop; always going to internet cafes is inconvenient.

She jumped between two different systems repeatedly and ultimately decided to choose two.

Thus, with a pile of gifts and a phone card directly processed next to her, it’s basically complete!

The salesperson who just wanted to sell one phone: ...

No big deal, it’s 2019, who’s not seen one or two low-key show-offs, hahahahahaha...

Today’s young people are genuinely too modest!

Canvas shoes, a whiter-than-white T-shirt, with the addition of a school uniform jacket and pants. Unable to find anything valuable on the whole body, but her manner of swiping cards is utterly unique.

So utterly charming!

This commission, so utterly charming hahahaha!

...

Chu River, carrying large bags and small bags, found a hotel, and without saying much, booked a luxury suite for a week.

——She had no experience in renting, seeing as in her past life she always adhered to assignments or waited for Chang Geng to arrange...

In any case, she handed it over to the new underling she picked up from the internet café!

Wait... wait till she gets the phone fixed, reaching out to the other party then we’ll talk.

...

On Mountain and Sea Star, a smartphone is still a critical asset, even though it also possesses office-aiding ability, but generally speaking, undoubtedly it’s categorized as an asset.

However, in the Star Sea Federation, what acts in the role of a smartphone today belongs to an essential component of citizens’ rights, also the starting point of all capacity for action.

Its functions are indescribably numerous, its importance self-evident.

And now, the Star Sea Federation remains a distant future. What Chu River can do is none other than dismantle and modify these phones, cobbling together what she desires.
