Chapter 48 Sources of Start-up Capital

Who would send me a message at this time?
Is it the senior brother with facial paralysis, or Su Xiaoqiang?
Lu Mingfei opened QQ and saw that it was not the same person. Instead, it was a flashing golden sycamore leaf avatar with the name "Sheng Ru Xia Hua". Lu Mingfei had no impression of this name.

Lu Mingfei opened the chat window.

Sheng Ru Xia Hua: Brother, are we home yet?

Lu Mingfei was startled and replied: Jörmungandr?

Sheng Ru Xia Hua: Hehe, you know so much, brother.

Lu Mingfei: Why are you my QQ friend?

Sheng Ru Xia Hua: Hehe, it’s a secret~ And now I am your junior sister! My name is Xia Mi, remember it~!

Lu Mingfei: I know, I know. I know your name. I also know that you are the captain of the school cheerleading team and the head of the dance troupe.

Sheng Ru Xia Hua: Are you secretly following me, Senior Brother? ! You are indeed the "Fallen Lu Mingfei"! Senior Sister Liu Miaomiao can't satisfy you, Senior Brother? ! Have you collected information about all the beautiful girls in Shilan Middle School? !

Lu Mingfei: What the hell? What is this "Fallen Lu Mingfei" singing about?
Born like a summer flower: Haven't you read the pinned post on the Shilan Middle School forum? "About the Fallen Lu Mingfei and His Life on Thin Ice" is a non-fiction novel about how you can deceive the heart of Liu Miaomiao, the beauty of Shilan Middle School, through layers of disguise. The latest volume has been updated to "Imperial Capital Travel".

Depend on!
Lu Mingfei quickly logged into the Shilan Middle School forum and entered the grass-green forum page.

The post I read before, "About the Fallen Lu Mingfei and His Life on Thin Ice," was not only posted on the front page, but the title was even bolded in red. It stood out among the many posts with bold titles.

Lu Mingfei clicked on it and took a quick look. The writing style was similar to that of Aunt Qiongyao, and the content was so unbearable to read.

Just pick out a random passage and you will see sentences like “Miao Miao, you can’t hate me, you can’t hate me because I love you so much” and “Ming Fei, you know me as well as you do, how can you blame me for forcing myself on you”.

The following responses were quite enthusiastic:

"Lu Mingfei is such a hateful guy, don't let me see him when school starts - author, please update soon!"

"Damn it, Lu Mingfei is just too good, no wonder the goddess fell for him."

"I, I, I, I actually feel a little bit disgusted with Lu Mingfei and Liu Miaomiao. What should I do?"

"..."

Lu Mingfei covered his forehead.

Sheng Ru Xia Hua: By the way, I provided some of the materials in "Imperial Capital Travel" to the author. But I changed the plot where you protected Senior Liu Miaomiao from Deadpool to you protected her from a gangster.

Lu Mingfei: Damn! So you are one of the culprits!

Sheng Ru Xia Hua: What does it matter, Senior Brother! Anyway, high school life is so dull, isn’t it interesting to add some spice to the ordinary daily life?
Just as Lu Mingfei was about to reply, the golden leaves of the sycamore tree suddenly dimmed, as if they had run out of nutrients, and finally fell from the branches and turned into mud.

Xia Mi logged off, and Lu Mingfei's previous impatience was completely extinguished. Just as he was about to start playing StarCraft, he heard his aunt's voice coming from outside the room.

"Ming Fei, it's time to make dumplings, come over and help!"

"Ooh!"

Lu Mingfei sighed and thought, why not wait until I make enough money to move out and live on my own during high school?

As soon as he walked out of the room and closed the door, Lu Mingfei's QQ started flashing again. This time it was really a message from Su Xiaoqiang.

Roseira Su: Okay.

RoseiraSu: Do you have time tomorrow to meet in front of Xinyu Internet Cafe?

……

the next day.

Early in the morning, Lu Mingfei rushed to Xinyu Internet Cafe.

Lu Mingfei's hometown is a coastal city. Most coastal cities have a common problem, that is, it rains a lot in summer and the weather is unpredictable.

It is often a sunny day when you go out, but you can see heavy rain at noon.

However, today's weather is rare and good, at least it's still good now. The sky is clear and bright, and the temperature is suitable. It's a good day for an outing.

Lu Mingfei pushed open the door. Maybe because it was summer vacation, it was only around eight or nine o'clock, but the Internet cafe was already full of people, most of whom were students around Lu Mingfei's age.

Lu Mingfei skillfully avoided the crisscrossing wires on the ground and walked to the front desk.

"Boss, turn on the phone."

Lao Lei held a cigarette in his mouth, and squinted at Lu Mingfei from behind his thick bangs. "You have such a low standard? You are a high school student now, so you should pay attention to it."

"Ah?" Lu Mingfei was confused.

"Nothing, how many hours will it take?"

"Let's drive for an hour first." Lu Mingfei said after thinking about it.

Su Xiaoqiang didn't say when to meet or what to do, she just said that she wanted him to accompany her to do something. So Lu Mingfei felt that it was not good for him to drive too long.

Moreover, today is July 7th, and the WCG China qualifiers are about to begin. Lu Mingfei now has to save every penny of his fortune to support CN e-sports, so he doesn't want to play for too long.

It’s a pity that Lu Mingfei is not yet 16 years old and cannot work part-time, so there is no way for him to expand his start-up capital by working.

Alas, I really have to think of a way to make money. Otherwise, with my little capital, even if I multiply it a hundred times, there won’t be much left.

Or... borrow some from someone?

Lu Mingfei suddenly remembered that his current social circle seemed to be full of rich guys and girls. Su Xiaoqiang was needless to say, and his paralyzed senior brother and Liu Miaomiao also came from wealthy families, and their monthly living expenses might be tens of thousands.

It doesn't seem like it would be a big deal to borrow a few hundred dollars from them, right?

Well... my senior brother with facial paralysis has always been very loyal to me, and he and I are brothers who have shared life and death together, so I should lend him the money.

As for Liu Miaomiao...if her memory had not been wiped by Xia Mi, she would definitely be willing to lend me money. Now it's hard to say.

And asking a woman for money...

Lu Mingfei can definitely do it!
Not only can I do it, but I also want to do it more times!

There's nothing I can do about it. I have a bad stomach and I just love eating this soft food.

If there is a chance, try to hint at the rich piano player Liu Miaomiao and see if she is willing to give you some support.

Rich woman, fragrant.

As for Su Xiaoqiang... my relationship with her can only be considered average, not much different from that of ordinary netizens.

If I suddenly asked her to borrow several thousand yuan, she would probably suspect that my purpose in making friends with her was impure, and would break off all ties with me on the spot.

With her personality, she can definitely do it.

Lu Mingfei took the small piece of paper with the mysterious 18-digit number written on it from Lao Lei. Just as he laid out two dollars on the table, someone else pushed the door open.

It's Su Xiaoqiang.

Su Xiaoqiang went for a simple style today, with a pinstriped button-down shirt on top and a black denim skirt underneath, showing off her long legs that she was so proud of. She also carried a calfskin bag that looked very expensive across her body, which was simple yet dazzling and bright.

"Oh, are you planning to surf the Internet for another two hours before leaving?" Su Xiaoqiang glanced at Lu Mingfei.

Yeah, that sounds very familiar.

"It's just an hour." Lu Mingfei spread his hands, "I don't know how long it will take you to come, so I'll just go a little slower."

"Well now that I'm here, you don't have to get on, let's just go."

"where to?"

"The CBD center in the city." Su Xiaoqiang blinked, "Didn't I tell you?"

"No, maybe you are just a forgetful person."

"Well, now I'm telling you, are you going to leave? Three, two..."

"Let's go!"

Lu Mingfei followed Su Xiaoqiang out of the door. Before leaving, he did not forget to throw the small piece of paper to Lao Lei, and quickly grabbed the two dollars on the front desk.

"Not this time, come back next time!"

Lu Mingfei slammed the door shut and pretended not to hear the sound of Lao Lei chasing after him.

"Damn it, you can't refund it after you open the card!"
