Chapter 177 Gambler's Promise
Recently, Internet cafe owners in County A have started installing an Internet cafe management system called [Wufen].
At the beginning, college students promoted the product for free, saying how good it was.
Haha, who cares about these people’s propaganda? The system is working well, why should we change it?
"No, we can do it right now, go ahead and don't get in the way here."
"Hey! What the hell are you taking pictures of?!"
"No taking pictures! Get out of here!"
"What's written in your notebook?! Give it to me!"
"I'm telling you! My aunt's neighbor's son-in-law works for the county government. I have someone above me. If you dare to cause trouble for me, you will suffer!"
"Get out of here, little brat!"
Ten minutes later, ding ding ding~
"Hey, Chief Liu, what's going on?"
"Hit someone? No! How could I hit someone? I have surveillance cameras here, I definitely didn't hit anyone! I swear on my whole family that I really didn't hit anyone!"
"Fuck! How dare that bastard to tell lies and frame me! Where is he from? I must have a good talk with him!"
"Damn! He's from the northwest, a million miles away. What the hell is he doing here in our small county?"
"You still say I'm not qualified for firefighting? How can I not be qualified? I'm absolutely qualified. I have two passages and a water pipe for a fire extinguisher. I have everything!"
"Minor? No! I don't have any children here! Those who come to me have ID cards!"
"Hey? Okay, okay, I won't be stubborn anymore. I'll pretend, I'll pretend! I'll change that system!"
Although most Internet cafe owners were forced to change the operating system on their machines to [Five Points], after it had been running for a few minutes, people surfing the Internet in the major Internet cafes gave it unanimous praise.
"Boss, your machine is running faster! It feels smoother than this morning!"
"The internet speed has improved a lot, and it's not stuck anymore."
"Let me see, the download speed is much faster , and the game updates very quickly!"
"The interface is much more comfortable. How much did it cost?"
"That's right, this interface is so comfortable to look at, much better than before."
…
With unanimous praise from customers, the owners of major Internet cafes also began to talk about this matter in the county’s Internet cafe owners’ chat group.
The group includes not only the owners of major Internet cafes, but also some "insiders".
With the "encouragement" of insiders, the rest of those who had not installed it also started to install it.
As for some illegal Internet cafes in the alleys, they cannot escape it either.
Unless it's an illegal internet cafe where no one goes, as long as someone goes there or you're discovered, there's no way you can hide.
Not only the county town, but also several villages and towns under the county town were required to install this [five-point] system.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Fan Hongyu woke up.
After waking up, Fan Hongyu started looking for food and opened his mobile phone contacts.
There is no rush when it comes to gambling. In fact, a qualified gambler spends very little time at the gambling table.
Fan Hongyu took out his cell phone to check the message.
The Moments are filled with advertisements and junk messages, or mass messages asking for likes and votes.
Fan Hongyu soon saw the replies from his elder and second sisters.
Big sister: My little sister said you borrowed 200 from her. Didn’t I just give you 3,000 two days ago? Did you gamble with it?
Eldest sister: Speak!
Big sister: Reply to me when you see the message!
Fan Hongyu ignored the message from his second sister. Now it was his eldest sister who gave the money, and she was closer to him than his own mother.
[Sister, I have no money left. I owe a lot of money on Huabei this month and I can’t pay it back. ]
Fan Hongyu did not say how he became poor, he just talked about how difficult his situation is now.
In order to increase his persuasiveness, Fan Hongyu quickly sent a screenshot of the money he owed.
When Shui Sheng saw the screenshot sent by her brother, she immediately became anxious.
Sister: How come you owe so much money? If you are overdue, your credit will be tarnished and you will be in trouble for everything you do!
Fan Hongyu quickly sent a voice message, "Sister, can you lend me some money so I can pay it back? I'm under a lot of pressure right now and can't sleep at night. Now when I think about the tens of thousands of dollars I owe, I can't do anything. I'm so upset now!"
"Don't ask for much, just give me 8,000 and I'll pay the rest myself!"
A qualified gambler is always responsible, especially when it comes to verbal promises, which are worth a thousand gold.
Shui Sheng was very anxious. From what her boss said, she felt that her brother must have been addicted to gambling.
He owes so much money now, it is impossible that he owes it all by spending money on food and money.
After hearing what his brother said, Shui Sheng said, "I'll help you this time, but you have to promise me that you won't gamble again! Otherwise, I won't lend you the money!"
For some reason, Shui Sheng inexplicably thought of Wei Jie at this moment, and thought of Wei Jie's sarcastic and disdainful expression.
But soon Fan Hongyu's voice made Shui Sheng forget about those things.
After hearing what his sister said, Fan Hongyu said solemnly, "Don't worry! I will never do it again! If I do it again, let me get hit by a car and die!!"
Shui Sheng was furious and shouted angrily, "You really went to gamble. I was wondering how you could owe so much money. Don't you know how hard it is for me to make money? Do you think gambling is worth it? It's all a scam! They just want to make money from you!"
Listening to his sister's nagging voice, Fan Hongyu assured her, "I know. Now I know. Actually, not much money went in. Just 20,000 or 30,000 yuan. Now you send me 8,000 yuan, and I will find a way to pay back the rest. Isn't it just over 10,000 yuan?"
Twenty or thirty thousand is indeed not a lot. Shui Sheng was mainly angry that her younger brother got involved in gambling.
"Let me make it clear first. I'll pay you back this time, but you're not allowed to gamble again!"
Shui Sheng gave another reminder with concern.
Fan Hongyu quickly said, "I promise not to touch it! Sister, just believe me. I can barely afford to eat right now, so how can I have the money to gamble?"
Shui Sheng quickly transferred ten thousand yuan.
"I don't have much money on me right now. You can pay back part of it first, and I'll talk to you after I get paid. This month's salary might be a little low, so tell your parents about it. They should have some money. Let them help you pay it back first."
Fan Hongyu knew how much money his parents had. He had spent all the money there long ago, and now his family owed a lot of money.
Shui Sheng didn't know about these things, and her family didn't tell her for fear that it would affect her work.
Anyway, Shui Sheng still comes back in the end.
Fan Hongyu knew what date Shui Sheng's salary was paid, and he also knew that Shui Sheng's salary was very punctual and had not been delayed in the past six months.
After seeing the 10,000 yuan deposited into his account, Fan Hongyu showed a simple and honest smile.
"Thank you! Sister, you should also rest well and work hard when you are out there. Don't worry about things at home. We are all fine."
Shui Sheng felt warmed.
Her family is her eternal support.
