Chapter 81 Computers
Let's rewind to two weeks ago.
Su Hao welcomed a special guest.
When he arrived at the tastefully decorated café outside the school's side gate as agreed, he found that the other person had already arrived and was sitting in a corner.
"Teacher Shen!" Su Hao walked over quickly to greet her.
Shen Yuxuan was dressed extremely stylishly today, even wearing a pair of large sunglasses that took up half of his face, seemingly to cover up his famous teacher face known throughout the internet.
On the seat next to him, there was an extremely large and technologically advanced black cardboard box.
"Why should I call you teacher...?"
Shen Yuxuan took off his sunglasses, looked him up and down, and revealed a complicated smile.
"I haven't actually taught you anything in class."
Although it had been a long time since they last met, Su Hao seemed to be the same as before.
He's grown taller than before, and the rustic air he had from his small town has faded somewhat, replaced by a reserved demeanor born from immersion in knowledge.
But that polite, innocent demeanor, as if she were completely unguarded with the world, remained unchanged.
"Take it."
Without saying a word, Shen Yuxuan pushed the heavy black box onto the table.
Su Hao's gaze fell on the black box. When he recognized the brand logo that represented top performance and high price, he was startled and waved his hands repeatedly in refusal.
"This is such a valuable item... I cannot accept it."
"Why are you being so polite with me? Buying this stuff is no different to me than you casually buying an ice cream at the convenience store. Besides—"
Knock knock.
Shen Yuxuan stretched out his finger and tapped the black box twice.
"It was I who strongly suggested that you be sent to this special class for gifted children."
As the person who recommended you, it's only right that I provide some after-sales service.
"But……"
Su Hao's eyes still held a hint of struggle.
He had originally planned to grit his teeth and ask his family to buy him any working laptop.
He was well aware of his family's financial situation and never dared to dream of buying such an expensive, top-of-the-line computer!
Accepting this generous gift would certainly put him under pressure, but what Su Hao was more worried about deep down was:
If my parents, who have worked hard all their lives, knew this, they would feel indebted to me and would definitely feel guilty.
"There's no 'but' about it."
Shen Yuxuan keenly sensed his concerns and interrupted him directly in an unquestionable tone,
"Didn't they say the school would start offering information technology courses in the second semester?"
At that time, you will need to install an extremely memory-intensive integrated development environment, process massive amounts of computational data, and engage in high-intensity programming.
A high-performance laptop is a necessity on the battlefield!
Do you really want to go to the battlefield empty-handed and unarmed to fight with bayonets?
Tear—!
Without giving Su Hao a chance to refuse again, Shen Yuxuan tore open the anti-counterfeiting seal on the packaging box and pushed him into Su Hao's arms.
Su Hao took a deep breath, his eyes more serious than ever before.
"I will definitely pay you back every penny in the future."
"Sure." Shen Yuxuan was amused by him and smiled nonchalantly.
"Wait until you've made it big in academia and are earning more than me before you start talking big."
Upon hearing this, Su Hao's lips twitched slightly.
Earning more than him? What a joke!
You should know that the man sitting in front of him was a formidable figure who dominated the national list of top teachers' income last year and firmly held the top spot!
His newly launched series of courses became an instant hit across the internet, almost crashing the servers due to the overwhelming demand, and even leading to scalpers reselling them!
It's no exaggeration to say that the person sitting in front of Su Hao was practically a walking money-printing machine.
Su Hao nodded helplessly and said emphatically:
"Thank you. I will definitely use it well!"
That noon, the wealthy and powerful Shen Yuxuan took Su Hao to a very high-end Western restaurant nearby...
He treated him to a top-quality steak that cost a fortune, then put on sunglasses and drove away satisfied.
in the afternoon.
When Su Hao was carrying that extremely conspicuous huge box, huffing and puffing as he went upstairs back to his dormitory, he was unfortunately bumped into by Wang Di, a classmate.
Wang Di's gaze lingered on the box for a second, then she let out a scream that shook the entire floor:
"Holy crap!! Guys!! Come out and see this god!! Su Hao bought a new computer! It's a top-of-the-line flagship!!"
"What the hell?!"
At the beginning of the semester, those bookworms who acted all aloof and as if they wanted to have the word "academic genius" engraved on their foreheads have all lost their composure.
Amidst a flurry of hurried footsteps, five or six male classmates suddenly emerged from their respective rooms.
When they saw the top-of-the-line high-performance laptop in Su Hao's hand, a laptop that only existed in digital blogger review videos, everyone's eyes widened, some even glowing with a green light.
"Oh dear, my dear young master Su Hao, how can you let such heavy work get your hands dirty while solving problems? Let us brothers handle it!"
Gu Chengyu reacted quickly and snatched the heavy box.
Then, a group of people, like bodyguards escorting a sacred object, surrounded Su Hao and squeezed into his not-so-spacious room.
In fact, after spending a month together, these shrewd classmates had already figured out Su Hao's temperament perfectly.
At first, everyone looked at Su Hao's overwhelming achievements and couldn't believe that there was such a pure person in the world.
I always thought he was a weird, pretentious jerk who only knew how to play dumb to take advantage of others.
But now, everyone knows the truth:
Su Hao's heart is as pure as an uncarved piece of jade, without a trace of scheming or malice.
He doesn't like to show off, and it's definitely not an act; it's because his brain circuits are truly extraordinary.
He genuinely felt that solving problems, something that could be done simply by thinking outside the box, wasn't really a remarkable skill.
If you encounter a problem that you just can't solve, ask him for help. He never holds back and will always stop what he's doing to explain it to you wholeheartedly.
If the other person still looks completely bewildered after listening, they won't laugh at you. Instead, they'll feel genuinely guilty for not explaining things clearly enough!
What's even more outrageous is that this guy isn't a bookworm.
On days when it's time to play soccer, this guy is always fully equipped, with professional-grade jerseys, shoes, and shin guards, and he runs to the field half an hour early to warm up like crazy.
Watching his retreating figure running freely in the sunlight, everyone realized, with a mix of amusement and exasperation:
This person has a brain that surpasses that of their peers, and also has a strong physique!
To accommodate Su Hao, who wasn't very familiar with computer hardware and system environments, these boys volunteered to quickly configure all the system environments for him.
Afterwards, several people surrounded him and spent a long time enthusiastically explaining the advanced uses of the school's intranet.
"Thanks, guys!"
Su Hao looked at the desktop that had been instantly transformed and said gratefully.
"It's no big deal! Don't be so formal! We're all brothers!"
The boys waved dismissively, keeping their achievements hidden, and went back to their rooms.
Watching their departing figures, Su Hao felt a surge of warmth in his heart.
When will I truly grow up?
Su Hao felt that he was always unilaterally accepting the kindness and help from those around him.
Both Teacher Shen and these students.
He secretly vowed in his heart:
If possible, he hopes to use his own way to repay this kindness even more!
