Chapter 73 Could she be a genius?
In the secondhand market, there is a group of people who are feared by all. They disguise themselves as vulnerable groups and, in order to prove that what they say is true, they don't even mind recording a live class on the spot, just to gain some sympathy from the sellers and save some money. Then they utter that four-word curse that is comparable to the "Avadakken melon": "I am a student."
Although Chen Sui's eyes were full of sincerity, she was facing an internet cafe owner who had been working in society for more than ten years.
The boss thought for a moment, then sighed softly, "It's not easy for me either; I'm a single father."
…………
Chen Che was playing on his phone when he received a message from Chen Sui: "It's settled. Go and bring the cart over."
Chen Che replied with a "1", took a small cart from the incubator and went back and forth, and saw Chen Sui sitting on a bench downstairs in the internet cafe with a monitor in her arms.
Chen Sui showed him the mouse and keyboard that she hadn't used much: "Chen Che, look, these are basically new. The boss sold them to me as second-hand."
"Wow, class monitor is pretty good. You really got a bargain. How much did it cost?" Chen Che exclaimed in admiration.
"Mouse is thirty, keyboard is forty, monitor is three hundred and fifty." Chen Sui didn't give him the total price directly, but instead counted the prices of each item on her fingers to prove that she wasn't lying.
"So that's four hundred and twenty in total. Okay, I'll transfer it to you in a bit," Chen Che nodded.
"No," Chen Sui shook her head, "I spent a total of four hundred and thirty."
"What?" Chen Che was taken aback. There were experts at negotiating against the market?
"How did you spend that 10 yuan?" Chen Che asked, acting as the treasurer.
"Alas, the rope always breaks at its thinnest point, and misfortune always befalls the unfortunate," Chen Sui sighed, explaining with deep sympathy.
"That boss has it tough. He said he's a single father, which is quite pitiful. He gave us mostly brand new peripherals, so I gave him an extra 10 yuan."
"?"
Chen Che was speechless. What was the difference between this and someone claiming to be a college student coming to his door to sell him pens?
Chen Che gave Chen Sui a thumbs up without hesitation: "Squad leader, you're a fucking genius..."
"Hehe, I think so too." Chen Sui smiled shyly.
"...What, you think I'm praising you?"
"Isn't that right?"
…………
On the way back, they were chatting casually when Chen Sui suddenly remembered what had just happened and immediately questioned him in a dissatisfied tone, "Chen Che, you lied to me!"
Chen Che was taken aback, then put on an innocent expression and asked, "What did I lie to you about?"
"You said you talked to the boss, but that's not true at all!" Chen Sui accused.
"This..." Chen Che smiled awkwardly, not taking it seriously at all: "This is just a white lie... just to encourage you to take the plunge and go upstairs to talk to the boss. See, isn't it working quite well?"
"So you still lied to me," Chen Sui said, dissatisfied. "Chen Che, you're not allowed to lie to me anymore."
"Okay, I promise I won't lie to you again." Chen Che nodded repeatedly, agreeing readily.
"Hmph." Seeing Chen Che agree so quickly, Chen Sui nodded in satisfaction, then added, "Even white lies won't do."
"Okay." Chen Che nodded in agreement as before.
This is also a white lie.
…………
The accessories arrived one by one, and Chen Che picked them up one by one. The once empty table gradually became piled with express boxes.
Now, only one assembly step is needed before the machine is ready to be turned on.
Chen Sui was taking stock of the inventory. Chen Che had already handed over all the external affairs to Xu Zhen, while he was teaching Chen Sui the internal affairs little by little. She was able to have some free time while keeping the finances under her control.
After all, he still vividly remembered his idol, Dong Ge, losing all his money when he first opened a restaurant. The young lady at the front desk fell in love with the uncle in the kitchen, and he completely ignored Dong Ge, the boss, when it came to money.
Although Chen Sui and Xu Zhen would never do such a despicable thing.
Seeing Chen Che disassemble a bunch of parts, Chen Sui curiously came over and picked up a memory stick to examine it, wondering how to assemble these things into a whole.
A whole is built from its parts. Let's get the motherboard working first.
Chen Che first pushed open the cover for the CPU on the motherboard, then took out the i5-3450 from the toothpaste factory. Back in the Amdyes era, the toothpaste factory's market value was higher than Colgate's.
Thanks to the massage parlor for letting me use a cheaper Intel processor.
After installing the CPU, Chen Che applied a lump of 7921 cement and smoothed it out. Seeing Chen Sui playing with the memory stick in her hand, he instructed, "Squad leader, insert the memory stick you're holding into the motherboard."
"Oh," Chen Sui nodded, then looked at the memory stick in her hand, then at the motherboard, and asked with a puzzled expression, "How do I install it?"
"Just insert the gold finger side into these dark slots, either the first and third slots, or the second and fourth slots."
"Oh~" Chen Sui nodded, not asking why she wanted to insert 13 or 24. She tried to press it down but couldn't, and was about to use force to create a miracle when Chen Che, watching with trepidation, quickly stopped her: "Stop!"
Chen Sui subconsciously withdrew her hand and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Didn't you realize you couldn't press it?" Chen Che glanced at her helplessly.
"Yeah, I was just about to put in some effort," Chen Sui said with a matter-of-fact expression.
"Is it possible that you plugged it in backwards, you silly goose?"
"Can this be plugged in backwards?"
"Yes," Chen Che explained, touching the notch on the memory stick, "This is called a foolproof notch, it's to prevent you from inserting it in the wrong direction."
"oh......"
The memory stick finally clicked into its slot with a "click," a sound that was incredibly satisfying.
After plugging in the heatsink and the SSD containing the operating system, the motherboard assembly is almost complete. Then, place the power supply, motherboard, and graphics card into the case in that order, and you can start connecting the cables.
But... how are the cables connected again? How do you plug these pins into? How do you connect these ports on the motherboard to the front panel of the case? ...
After all, he's not a professional who makes a living from this, so Chen Che doesn't have many opportunities to assemble computers himself. Not to mention that decades have passed, it's normal for him to have forgotten, right?
Chen Sui, eager to learn, urged with an innocent expression, "Chen Che, why did you stop?"
Not hearing Chen Che speak, Chen Sui turned her head and saw Chen Che looking at the computer case with a conflicted expression, unsure of where to start. She subconsciously asked, "Aren't you sure what to do next?"
"Of course I know! I just forgot a little! Wait a minute, let me review." Of course, Chen Che wasn't going to admit he didn't know; he was just a bit rusty!
I immediately opened Bilibili and started searching for PC building tutorials. Just kidding, if I don't know how, surely others do!
Then when I searched for people, I was shocked. Oh no, the "Hardware Tea Talk" account hasn't been launched yet!
