Chapter 56 This woman puts in even more effort than I do to manage things at home.
In the afternoon, Chen Mo learned that Lin Wei had also been summoned by President Shen, presumably for something related to WeChat Moments.
I just don't know what I said to her!
But thinking about his conversation with Shen Qingyue, he felt that Shen Qingyue probably wouldn't make things difficult for him.
Because it was all just baseless speculation.
However, just before he was about to leave work, Lin Wei took the initiative to find him and asked if the company had made things difficult for him because of her.
After learning that there was no such thing, she breathed a sigh of relief and apologized again.
After they broke up, Chen Mo didn't take it to heart. However, his blind date, Su Xiao, messaged him again.
Su Xiao: [Chen Mo, are you off work yet?]
Chen Mo: [Just logged off, what's wrong?]
Su Xiao: My laptop suddenly broke down and I can't type anymore, so I want to get a desktop computer.
But I don't know much about computers, and since you're a top student who graduated from the computer science department, I thought I'd ask you to come with me to the store to choose one.
Chen Mo: [Okay, when?]
Su Xiao: [Is it okay now? I need it urgently, I haven't updated it yet today!]
Chen Mo: [Okay, where are you?]
Su Xiao: [I'm right downstairs from your company.]
Chen Mo: [...]
After packing his things, he carried his bag downstairs.
As soon as Chen Mo stepped out of the company gate, he spotted the white BMW 5 Series parked on the side of the road.
Su Xiao was sitting in the driver's seat, looking down at her phone.
Chen Mo walked over and knocked on the car window.
Su Xiao looked up, saw it was him, quickly unlocked the car door, and said with a smile, "Get in."
Chen Mo opened the car door, sat in the passenger seat, and fastened his seatbelt.
"Thank you for your help," Su Xiao said somewhat embarrassed.
"It's okay, I'm off work anyway."
Not far away, Lin Wei, who was about to hail a taxi, saw this scene.
Not only that, Shen Qingyue, who happened to be driving out of the garage, also happened to see this scene.
Just as she was hesitating about whether to follow, her phone rang. It was her best friend calling.
She answered the phone: "Feed? What? I'm busy!"
"Of course I need to talk to you."
On the phone, Cai Yanyan said urgently, "Come back quickly, I'm at your house right now."
Shen Qingyue: "What is it? Is it urgent?"
"Yes, it's urgent, extremely urgent!"
"Okay, wait for me, I'll be right back."
Shen Qingyue watched the direction in which the two cars disappeared, and could only give up her curiosity and drive home.
On the other side, after Chen Mo got into the car, Su Xiao casually asked, "Where are we going to buy it now?"
"Go to the electronics mall, there are more choices there."
Chen Mo said, "Although it's a bit more expensive than buying it online, you need it urgently, so you'll have to go to a physical store."
"Um."
Chen Mo then asked, "What's your budget? What's it mainly for? Besides writing, do you have any other needs? Playing games?"
"I just write, occasionally watch TV shows, and don't play games."
Su Xiao thought for a moment and said, "The budget... five or six thousand, is that enough?"
"Of course that's enough."
After hearing this, Chen Mo suddenly joked, "Actually, you can just buy the top-of-the-line model from any brand, and it will be fine for everything."
"Even if you have money, you shouldn't waste it like this."
Su Xiao shook her head and said, "A computer that's good enough for typing is cost-effective. There's no need to waste money."
Chen Mo laughed and said, "I didn't expect you to know how to enjoy life."
"Of course."
Su Xiao glanced at him and said smugly, "I also work very hard to earn money by writing. I sit in front of the computer for seven or eight hours every day, and my back aches. It's all hard-earned money."
"understand."
Chen Mo has recently come to understand this kind of hardship after starting to write a novel himself.
A chapter of 4000 words takes the author 2-3 hours to write, but the reader finishes it in a few minutes.
He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll pick out a good value one for you later."
"Okay, thank you."
Twenty minutes later, the car stopped in the underground parking lot of the digital mall.
The two took the elevator upstairs and went directly to the desktop computer section.
The electronics mall wasn't crowded on a weekday. Salespeople from each shop stood at the entrance, enthusiastically trying to attract the few customers.
After all, it's really hard to do business in brick-and-mortar stores these days.
"Handsome guy/beautiful lady, wanna take a look at computers? Our computers are not only cheap, but also have super powerful performance!"
"Come in and take a look! We're having a special event today with great discounts!"
Chen Mo waved his hand and led Su Xiao straight inside.
He used to come to the electronics mall often to help his classmates look at computers when he was in school, but he hasn't been here since graduation.
But we still have experience.
"Don't go to those shops near the entrance; they mainly do one-time business and rip off customers terribly."
Chen Mo whispered to Su Xiao, "Let's go to those old shops inside. Although the decor is average, the goods are genuine and the after-sales service is good."
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Su Xiao followed behind him, watching him skillfully lead the way, and felt inexplicably at ease.
Soon, the two arrived at a shop that looked quite old.
The shop owner was a middle-aged man in his forties, who was sitting behind the counter repairing computers. When he saw someone come in, he looked up and glanced at them.
"What do you need?"
"Look at desktop computers, preferably pre-assembled ones."
Chen Mo said, "It's mainly used for office work and writing; I don't play games."
The boss put down his tools, stood up, and said to the computers not far in front of him, "These computers have suitable configurations, are not expensive, and have sufficient performance."
Chen Mo selected one of the machines, opened it to check the specifications, and then tried out the keyboard feel.
"How's the keyboard's responsiveness?" he asked Su Xiao.
Su Xiao leaned over, typed a few things on the keyboard, and nodded: "It's alright, more comfortable than my old one."
"Let's go with this one."
Chen Mo asked the shop owner, "Do you have any in stock?"
"Yes, I'll go get it for you."
The boss turned around and went to the warehouse to get the goods.
Su Xiao asked in a low voice, "Is that all? Shouldn't we look at some others?"
"No need, this configuration is enough for you. The keyboard feels good and is suitable for typing for long periods of time."
Chen Mo explained, "Besides, I know this store well. The owner is honest and won't overcharge."
"Oh……"
Su Xiao nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
"Actually, you're just in a hurry."
Chen Mo said, "Otherwise, I can take some time to buy the parts online and assemble a high-quality computer for you."
"Huh? Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Upon hearing this, Su Xiao said, "If I had known, I would have just bought a workbook to get by first."
Soon, the boss came out with an unopened desktop computer and monitor.
"Brand new and unopened, three-year warranty, bring it over anytime if there are any problems."
Chen Mo took the box, checked the seal, and after confirming there were no problems, asked, "How much?"
Five thousand eight.
The shopkeeper quoted a price, then added, "Since you're a regular customer, I'll give you the lowest price, and I'll throw in a mouse and a laptop bag."
Chen Mo looked at Su Xiao, asking for her opinion with his eyes.
Su Xiao nodded: "Okay."
After I paid, the shopkeeper helped me activate the system and install some commonly used software.
While waiting, Su Xiao watched Chen Mo skillfully discuss hardware configurations and market conditions with the boss, and her impression of him improved even more.
This man is reliable and conscientious in his work.
"alright."
The shopkeeper handed the assembled computer to Su Xiao and said, "Try it out when you get home. Contact me anytime if you have any problems."
"Thank you, boss."
After the two left the shop and put the computer in the car, Su Xiao glanced at the time; it was only 6:20.
"Chen Mo, are you busy tonight?" she suddenly asked.
"What's wrong?"
"It's still early, how about... we go see a movie together?"
Su Xiao said with a smile, "I heard there's a new movie that's really good, it's very popular online, and the reviews are very high. It's called 'Love Letters to Grandma'."
Chen Mo: "..."
Seeing his hesitation, Su Xiao assumed he was unwilling and quickly tried to persuade him again.
"It's a good opportunity for us to take some more photos to keep."
After all, we can't just send photos of meals to our family every time, can we? It's normal to have photos of movies, shopping, and more.
"..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Mo couldn't help but laugh.
This woman puts in even more effort than she does to manage her household affairs.
But thinking about it, it makes sense; since the photos are always of people eating, it's easy for them to slip up.
"Okay."
Chen Mo thought that he hadn't watched a movie in a long time, so he agreed.
"Let me check out the nearby movie theaters..."
Su Xiao took out her phone and checked, then said, "There's one in the mall ahead, it's a ten-minute walk."
"How about we eat first?"
Chen Mo said, "You haven't eaten yet."
"But there's no time."
Su Xiao said, "How about we finish watching it before we go out to eat?"
"Alright."
Chen Mo said, "I'm not too hungry either."
