Chapter 44: Watermelon (2/2)

Tang Jinyu was held and was told to wash his face, when Xia Ye squeezed toothpaste and put it in his mouth, he vaguely said, ”I already brushed my teeth.”

Xia Ye glanced at his watch and said, ”Why didn’t you tell sooner, hurry up so I can take you out to play later.”

”Oh.”

The child was very obedient, brushing his teeth a little faster, and went out with Xia Ye after he was cleaned up.

Xia Ye made an appointment with Han Yichen, and there was no other place to go during the weekend, since he was with the little guy. He chose a fast food restaurant that had a children’s playground, he ordered two meals, and waited while eating.

Tang Jinyu can only eat fast food once a week. Xia Ye usually takes him here, just ordering one hamburger and some chicken wings makes the little guy happy.

Xia Ye ordered a cup of ice-cola, and ordered the same cup for his brother, but it was filled with water.

Tang Jinyu was easy to coax, he was content with the hamburger in his hand, and didn’t even pay attention to his drink.

Han Yichen came a little late, and he also brought his small oil bottle. When he entered the door, he helped his sister push the sliding door while quarreling with her. The little girl was small but she didn't lose her momentum at all.

”I don't care, brother, accompany me to the crystal ball, otherwise I will tell my mother, you secretly drinked my milk powder!”

”Huh, what nonsense! Why would I drink it?”

”You still ate my snacks, I saw you!”

”What's wrong with me trying it for you?”

…

After the brothers and sisters walked over, Han Yixing's mood changed when she saw Tang Jinyu, but the little girl's lip was still pouting, still not over her grievances.

Xia Ye asked, ”What's wrong?”

Han Yichen sat down and said, ”Don't mention it, I didn't see her toy when I went out today, and I accidentally trampled on the plastic ball.”

The little girl sternly corrected him: ”It's a crystal ball.”

Han Yichen raised his hand and begged for mercy: ”Oh, the crystal, I stepped on it and broke it, I will pay it back the exact amount with something else.”

After receiving such a guarantee, the little girl became happy. Tang Jinyu divided his French fries, and two children chatted while eating.

Han Yichen had a terrible headache. He saw the little guy next to Xia Ye and said enviously: ”It would be fine if all the children in the world were like your brother, how else would I be able to block her mouth if I didn’t give her food?”

Xia Ye said: ”All children are like this.”

Han Yichen raised his head faintly, his eyes fell on him: ”How can it be the same, don't you believe that we should switch?”

Xia Ye laughed, did not answer his question, got up to order them a meal.

After Han Yixing ate a few chips, she showed Tang Jinyu her new nails. He didn’t know where to put his cartoon stickers, since they were very small, and they were put on the little girls nails. ”Look! My new nails are beautiful!”

Tang Jinyu praised her politely.

The little girl said happily: ”Come on, I can do your nails too!”

Tang Jinyu shook his head vigorously and refused, ”I'm a boy, we don't do our nails.”

”What's the matter, men and women are equal!”

Xia Ye just went to order some food, and when came back to his seat, there were a lot of stickers on the children. Tang Jinyu's situation seemed better, since he had a small star on his right cheek, and Han Yichen had stickers on his forehead and all over his face, shining blindly.

The little girl on the side was still putting stickers on her brother, and another pink heart was ”smacked” on his brother's watch. It was a cool mechanical watch, and was now as colorful as the owner.

Xia Ye usually has a faint expression on his face, and he rarely smiled. The little girl was a little afraid of him, so she didn't dare to put some on him.

The children had a small appetite and were full after a few bites. Han Yichen took them to wash their hands, and then asked them to play in the small playground area in the restaurant. He and Xia Ye found a nearby table and started talking about business.

Xia Ye knew him well, and asked straightforwardly: ”Did Song Yi look for you?”

Han Yichen tore the sticker on his face while frowning: ”Found me, he said that he would be able to promote it. Old Ape told him the price, and the contract was also sent over. Not only did he find me, but several other people. He also searched this himself, I think he was trying to find something.”

Xia Ye: ”About advertising?”

Han Yichen shook his head and said, ”It wasn't about the advertising. The agency fee for the software was too much before. Last year, everyone was able to earn a lot, but now that it suddenly dropped, there must have been some problems.”

After Xia Ye returned from Yecheng a few months ago, he launched a new version of the Vientiane webmaster, which was divided into two versions. The old version was the clean version without advertising pop-ups, and does not have the new updates. The price is the same as before; The new version of the network management software has advertisements pop up, and the contracts have to be re-signed every year, which was more complicated than before, but the price was a hundred times lower.

These were two options that people could choose from.

The owners of Internet cafes are not stupid. Of course, they choose the cheap new version. The new version would soon be promoted, which is much faster than the previous version.

In the first wave of charges, although profits were much lower than last year, Internet cafes have sprung up in the past two years, and they still make up for some of their income. The employees that live in Qizhou City don’t cause any problems, and most of them sent a page message.

However, the new version was charged on an annual basis. After the initial peak period, the income soon drops a lot. It is indeed troublesome to maintain, and it is inevitable that some people will be dissatisfied.

Song Yi was one of them. He was the first batch of students introduced by Old Ape. It may be related to his major that he was studying about that made him paid more attention to contracts. He was the first to ask about the company, and also ask about the seal.
