Chapter 45: Test (2/2)
Xia Ye: ”I am, but only with him.”
Han Yichen turned to look at the younger sister who was holding onto a poll and sliding down. The little girl was so energetic, and her entire face was flushed…she may be his sister, but today he felt like he should pretend like he didn’t know her.
Xia Ye threw the ball there for a while, and Han Yichen realized that something was wrong. He had seen Xia Ye play at school before, he had a good grip, but now he is purposely throwing the ball further away each time, and making the child stop and retrieve the ball. The child was obedient, and would run back and forth to pick up the ball, he would lift it up and give it to Xia Ye, his face full of anticipation, like a little milk dog wagging his tail.
Sure enough, after Xia Ye got the ball, he raised his hand and threw the ball over, the small ball rolled landed to a certain distance. The child ran to pick it up for him, and he seemed very happy.
Han Yichen really couldn't stand it anymore, and said sincerely to him: ”Xia Ye, don't play around with your brother anymore, why don’t you play around with my sister? My sister runs much faster than Xiaoyu, you let her pick up the ball for Xiaoyu for a while!”
Xia Ye: ”…”
Xia Ye explained to him: ”Xiaoyu doesn't run very well, and he needs practice.”
The playground area is covered with soft cushions, and it's safe for kids to fall down on. The little guy picked up the ball and ran back and forth several times, his forehead covered with sweat, and when he passed the small ball over. Xia Ye didn’t pick it up this time and directly carried the little guy, and said to Han Yichen: ”We will be leaving first, remember to talk to Old Ape later in the evening.”
Han Yichen looked at the kid in Xia Ye arms, who was obediently waving his hand goodbye, and he felt envious but he still nodded, ”I will.”
He thought to himself how he wanted to beat up Xia Ye, and make him call out dad.
He has prepared several assassins in his mind, Old Ape was good at defending, but he was also good at inferring. He hasn't been able to fight with anyone lately, and his hands were feeling itchy!
Xia Ye hugged Tang Jinyu and went back. The child said halfway down that he wanted to walk by himself. Xia Ye glanced at the concrete floor and didn't let him go down. ”You have exercised today.”
Tang Jinyu said, ”Walking doesn't count.”
Xia Ye squeezed the tip of his nose and said, ”You ran on the mat, little idiot.”
After they got home, Tang Jinyu went to see the watermelon seedlings he planted first as usual.
But today’s watermelon seedlings were covered by a black plastic sheet. Tang Honjun used some bamboo as support, which made it look like a greenhouse. Seeing Tang Jinyu squatting there, he went over to explain to him: ”This is a heat preservation film, which helps plants grow.”
Tang Jinyu didn't quite understand it, he felt that the weather was hot enough now, so shouldn’t this be used in winter?
Tang Hongjun vowed: ”Your dad asked your grandfather for this, the people in their Academy of Agricultural Sciences use this kind of professional insulation film. They cover it for a day, making it worth one week of growth outside! Don't worry, Xiaoyu, the seeds will grow very big and very nice inside, you just have to wait patiently for one more day!”
Tang Jinyu listened as his dad described this to him, and felt that it was no longer his watermelon seedling.
In the evening, the Xia family
Xia Ye found Old Ape and Han Yichen online.
Old Ape was the first person to follow Xia Ye to eat crabs. Although he did not work as hard as others in the later period, he actually ate a few bites of meat at the beginning and made a lot of money. Old Ape was a kind person, and has felt a bit uneasy with all the money he earned. This Vientiane Guardian was his suggestion, and he was in charge of it. Xia Ye only provides technical support, and Han Yichen was responsible for the evaluation. Several people used their free time to get this anti-virus software, but Old Ape felt uneasy about this and made a firewall. He has taken precautions against any attacks from any offensive codes, to prevent any data packets.
Old Ape said, this is what they rely on to eat, they must take care of it.
In the next few days, Xia Ye became busy, and Old Ape took Han Yichen to work together, attacking and patching each other up.
When Xia Ye went online, he also gave them surprising news, he was able to get their first ad commercial.
At first, Old Ape thought that what Xia Ye could find were those selling fried noodles and barbecues downstairs in the Internet cafe, but soon he realized that he was wrong. Xia Ye’s first advertisement was the promotion of steel construction materials, which was similar to that in the newspaper, except that there were some pictures, and the photos made it very realistic.
”It's interesting, this effect is very good!” Old Ape praised him, ”Where did you find it?”
”From the Yishang Forum.”
“…The one that collects intermediary fees for the special link of the transaction? ”
”Correct.”
”Then you’re a fool!”
”It's fine, they are ones that will be doing most of the work.”
The corners of Old Ape’s mouth twitched, he didn't think that Yishang thought this way. It was different from grabbing jobs. Moreover, it was still a pop-up ads, that would pop out from tens of thousands of machines at once, and at the same time it should not be too overbearing.
Old Ape began to worry about the reaction on the Yishang forum. After all, there are too few formal online forums, and they usually have a big company backing them up. This Yishang obviously also has some connections, if a small fight happens the other party would most likely retaliate.
Xia Ye said: ”I also have concerns in this regard, so I did a test in advance.”
A bad feeling rose in Old Ape’s heart, he tremblingly typed and asked, ”What did you do?”
Xia Ye: ”I just went to Yishang and posted a post, asking them if they would be interested in participating in our test tonight.” He added, ”A small-scale one.”
Soon, Xia Ye said again: ”Here, you deal with it.”
Old Ape: ”Why did you do this to me? Why do you want me to do it?”
It was too late, many hackers were swarming in and had already begun to attack Old Ape's firewall. Old Ape had no time to talk to him anymore, and he concentrated on watching the data scrolling on the screen.
