Chapter 86 Death in the Light
Chen Che transformed a small room in the incubator into a reception room, where he was currently having tea with Lü Zhizhe.
Ever since Chen Che helped him assemble his computer, their relationship has warmed up considerably. Lu Zhizhe originally had a tea set at home, but since no one usually came to visit, he simply brought it to Chen Che's place and would often come over to drink tea and chat with him.
"Brother, look at how bustling this place is, but the average order value is too low. I estimate that on average, each order is only a dozen yuan or even just a few yuan, so the profit is also small."
Lu Zhizhe took a sip of tea and analyzed, "Your computer assembly skills are pretty good. You might as well go into the whole machine business. The average order value is higher and the profit is also higher."
Chen Che chuckled but didn't reply.
Everyone wants to earn more money, but higher profits mean a larger amount of working capital, which is beyond what one can currently afford.
If everyone were a rich guy like Lü Zhizhe, then it would be quite a business opportunity. But most people are poor guys who care about cost-effectiveness. And if they really want to consider this business, they won't just be sourcing from Taobao; they'll have to communicate with agents at various levels to get the goods.
On the contrary, the project of making fries is running quite well now with the support of the school. What we need to do now is to stabilize its development and not be reckless.
Seeing that Lü Zhizhe had finished his tea, Chen Che picked up the teapot and poured another full cup of tea. Today, he was drinking Pu'er tea. Just by smelling the fragrant aroma that wafted into his nostrils, he could sense a hint of bitterness in the tea.
Chen Che smiled and said, "You can't rush things in business. Small businesses have their own way of doing things, just like this Pu'er tea. It may taste bitter at first, but you can taste the sweetness in the aftertaste. Once you boil this pot of bitter tea, you will find its sweetness."
Lu Zhizhe didn't take the boasting seriously, and finished his tea in one gulp, saying, "Alright, I have an appointment to meet my love interest in person today, so I'm leaving now."
Upon hearing this, Chen Che seemed to remember something and, suppressing a laugh, asked, "Is it the one you showed me that day?"
Lu Zhizhe replied irritably, "Aren't you going to talk nonsense? Who else could it be? I'm very devoted."
"Okay, good luck." Luckily, Chen Che didn't remember that heavily photoshopped picture very well, otherwise he would have burst out laughing by now.
After Lü Zhizhe left, Chen Sui came in and asked, "I think I just heard him say he was going to meet some online friend?"
"Mm." Chen Che nodded.
"Is this... reliable?" Although Chen Sui asked the question, she already had the answer in her heart.
"Ninety-nine percent unreliable," Chen Che replied without hesitation.
"Then why go?" Chen Sui asked, puzzled. She was still shaken by what had happened to her, but she couldn't help but be curious about what kind of person her master, who had a hoarse voice and whom she had known for only a few hours, would be in real life.
"It's precisely because 99% of the bets are unreliable that it's so exciting when you win that 1%!" Chen Che chuckled.

Lu Zhizhe drove his mother's BMW 5 Series slowly to Daxing Palace. The other party originally wanted to meet at Xinjiekou, but the flow of people in that place was too terrifying, even on ordinary days it was always crowded.
Not to mention that the second phase of Deji Plaza has only been open for a few months, and the flow of people can only be described as terrifying.
The situation at Daxing Palace is relatively better; at least the car can still be driven, and there are plenty of places to eat, drink, and have fun.
He was almost at the agreed-upon location, a coffee shop at an intersection, when a large woman jaywalked and stopped him. However, since he was in a good mood for meeting her today, Lü Zhizhe decided not to make a fuss.
Unexpectedly, the other party spoke first in a gruff voice, aggressively saying, "Didn't you see me crossing the road? How could you drive like that? You scared me."
Lu Zhizhe, who was initially in the right, couldn't stand her shameless attitude any longer and immediately stuck his head out to confront her: "You son of a bitch, you ran a red light and you still have the nerve to bark like a dog? I wish a fully insured semi-trailer would come and beat you to a pulp in the bathhouse district (Spirited Away) to be used as a meat offering."
As soon as Lü Zhizhe finished speaking, the woman couldn't hold back any longer: "What the hell are you saying? Does your family use your mouth to scoop out manure? Your mouth is so stinky, you think you're so great just because you earn a few stinky bucks? Yeah, right..."
The two argued back and forth for two minutes until the car behind them couldn't take it anymore and started honking: "If you want to argue, go to the side. I'm moving even if you don't move. Can't you stop obstructing traffic?"
The two then gave up.
Lu Zhizhe was driving and looking for a parking space when his girlfriend, Sister Hua, sent him a voice message: "Baby, I'm here, where are you?"
Lu Zhizhe also picked up his phone and sent a voice message: "Baby, I'm almost there, I'm parking."
"Okay, then focus on driving and be careful. I'll wait for you at a window seat in the cafe. I just ran into some idiot driving a BMW, he was so annoying, he honked his horn to scare me when I was crossing the street."
Lu Zhizhe was focused on driving when he casually turned on the voice message and listened to the content. He was about to follow Sister Hua's lead and give this silly Lu Zhizhe a good scolding.
But the next second, as if he suddenly realized something, his expression changed drastically.
From this vantage point, you can see the window sill of the coffee shop, and that burly woman from earlier was also leaning against the window.
"..."
Lu Zhizhe pulled over, turned on his hazard lights, and with trembling hands, picked up his phone and sent a voice message into the chat box: "You've arrived, right?"
Then, he stared intently at the window, where he saw the burly woman pick up her phone and chatter away. The moment she put the phone down was the instant Lü Zhizhe received the message.
"Yes, baby, I'm coming right now, I can't wait to see you."
"..."
Incubator.
Chen Che watched Chen Sui play JX3 from the side. After a few days of getting used to it, the latter had almost mastered the game and started learning how to do dungeons. At this time, the new version had just been released.
When a new version of a seasonal game is released, everyone is basically on the same starting line. Even if you have a fully upgraded account from the previous version, you can catch up in a month or two.
The Five Poisons sect is a sect with two internal skills: one is the Poison Sutra, which deals damage, and the other is the Healer's Skill, the Heaven-Mending Technique, which is responsible for healing. It is commonly known as the Healer Poisons sect.
Chen Sui found a team and joined the group, and then Chen Che watched as Chen Sui happily controlled her character to fly around in the sky.
Lu Zhizhe burst in, panting and with a mournful expression on his face.
"Didn't you go to meet up with someone? Why are you back so soon?" Chen Che asked.
"Brother..." Lu Zhizhe almost burst into tears.
"What's wrong?"
"She...she's square..."
Before Lü Zhizhe could finish speaking, he received a message from Sister Hua on his phone.
"Baby, what happened? Why haven't you come over yet?"
Without hesitation, Lü Zhizhe said to Chen Che, "Brother, do me a favor."
"Um?"
"Could you add her as a friend for me? Tell her I was in a car accident while I was buying her a gift."
Then an hour later they told me he had died...
