Chapter 22: Giving Her a Sense of Security (Rushing for Rankings and Votes)

  Zheng Yuanda stormed off, carrying the bouquet of lilies he had brought with him. It was unclear what he would do with the failed flowers, but one thing was certain - he wouldn't destroy them in front of Lin Yajing.

  "Thanks, desk mate." Lin Yajing said softly after Chu Tianfeng returned to his seat.

  "No need to be polite, I just don't like others chasing after you!" Chu Tianfeng gently inhaled the sweet fragrance emanating from Lin Yajing's slender body, smiling as he spoke.

  "Oh..." Lin Yajing's heart skipped a beat, replaying his words in her mind: "Don't like others pursuing me? Is he confessing something to me?"

  As she thought about it, her pretty face's blush became even more intense, like a brilliant sunset, and her spirit also became tense.

  "If someone always disturbs you so blatantly, your grades may slip, and I won't be able to sit here for long either." Chu Tianfeng explained with a smile.

  Lin Yajing's tense emotions dissipated with his concerned tone, feeling warm in her heart, and realized that he was thinking of her. Of course, she wouldn't be foolish enough not to see that Chu Tianfeng had a crush on her, but this subtle ambiguity made it easier for her to accept.

  Chu Tianfeng was very good at grasping the scale, under the heavy pressure of the college entrance examination, girls are prone to tension, and good students are no exception. Especially Lin Yajing also faced the problem of being pursued by boys all the time, which gave her even greater pressure.

  What he needs to do is give her a sense of security, progress gradually, and even if there's occasional ambiguity, it doesn't matter. In the midst of ambiguity, quietly and imperceptibly deepen their feelings. As long as Lin Yajing slowly develops a dependence on him, then he will win her heart in the future.

  At this point, Zheng Yuanda made a fatal mistake. When chasing girls, you have to pay attention to the environment and can't put too much pressure on others, as if you must be good with me. What's the reason? Is it just because you have money and power that you can manipulate people's emotions?

  Of course, this matter can't be blamed entirely on Zheng Yuanda's rashness. After all, it's a case of "near water tower first gets the moon". Chu Tianfeng and Lin Yajing sitting at the same table also put pressure on Zheng Yuanda in an invisible way, especially since Lin Yajing had some good feelings towards Chu Tianfeng. That guy finally couldn't sit still and was preparing to make a move.

  The result can be imagined, and Chu Tianfeng was turned back.

  "Brother Tian, you really gave us guys in the class a big face today!" After school, Gao Dalie was still excited about what happened at noon.

  "It's nothing, I just defended my dignity." Chu Tianfeng said with a faint smile.

  "Hey, Tian Ge, you'd better be careful too! Zheng Yuanda is not someone to be trifled with." Gao Dali said in a serious and hushed tone: "Zhao Kaishun and Zheng Yuanda, the two most troublesome people in our school, have both been offended by you."

  "I know, I'll be careful." Chu Tianfeng thought to himself, it seems that Gao Dalie's brain isn't just a single thread after all, and he also knows how to remind me that Zheng Yuanda will definitely take revenge. This is within expectations, but how can we prevent it? These two days should strengthen self-defense capabilities.

  Chu Tianfeng thought of the few martial arts books he had bought at a bookstore, which he hadn't had time to read yet. This wasn't something that could be accomplished overnight, but learning one or two moves from them might have an unexpectedly good effect.

  "Hey, Tianfeng, school's out?"

  Tan Kai walked towards them with a smile while they were chatting.

  "Is that so, Kezi? Looking for me with something on your mind?" Chu Tianfeng asked with a smile.

  "Hmm, the owner of Xinyuan Internet Cafe is calling for you to go over there, saying that your task has arrived. Aren't you a game tester now?" Tan Kai smiled and said.

  "Alright, I'll go take a look!" Chu Tianfeng directly bid farewell to Gao Dali and followed Tan Kai towards the New Yuan Internet Cafe.

  He and Tan Kai were chatting and laughing on the road, unaware that at the school gate, a BMW sedan was parked at a corner, Zheng Yuanda sat in the car with binoculars staring closely at Chu Tianfeng and Gao Dali, his face revealing a sinister cold smile. The driver and bodyguard sitting next to him were all tall and majestic, with serious faces.

  "Zheng Gongzi, your phone!" A bodyguard handed over the latest Motorola mobile phone, which cost at least over 10,000 yuan, of course that was the price in '98, by the year 2000 it wouldn't even sell for a thousand!

  Zheng Yuanda picked up his phone and said in a low voice: "Is it Pi Wu?"

  "It's me! Hehe, Master Zheng, what instructions do you have?" A thick voice came from the other end of the phone.

  "Help me take care of someone, don't kill him, just cripple him, and do it cleanly!" Zheng Yuanda said coldly, staring at Chu Tianfeng who had already walked to the entrance of the playground.

  "Heh heh, Lord Zheng, please clarify, in this commodity society, what kind of punishment is it? Cutting off legs, or hands, or feet, or total paralysis?"

  "Break his leg and at least make him paralyzed for half a year! His name is Chu Tianfeng, from our school's High School Year 2 Class 2."

  "Alright, no problem, same as usual?"

  "Of course, I will destroy this SIM card after finishing this call. After things are settled, I will send someone to contact you."

  "Heh heh, Zheng Gongzi is indeed cautious in his actions. He will definitely be a great achiever in the future!"

  "Haha, you're overpraising me!"

  Zheng Yuanda is finally going to make his move on Chu Tianfeng. If the straightforward approach doesn't work, he'll resort to underhanded tactics. This is his usual modus operandi; in the past, whenever someone crossed him at school, they were ruined by him in a very clean and skillful manner.

  Chu Tianfeng and Tan Kai arrived at Xinyuan Internet Cafe, where the boss, Qi Wei, immediately invited them to a newly opened small private room inside the cafe. There were only two computers in the room, both of which had broadband internet access, which was quite advanced at that time.

  "Alright, let's get down to business! Director Lü will be here soon." Qi Wei said with a smile.

  "Hmm." Chu Tianfeng nodded and smiled as he asked: "How much per hour?"

  "Haha, little brother, it's okay to take money outside, but my internet cafe is a partner of Da Yu Company on the mainland. You are a game tester for Da Yu Company, and you can surf the internet for free here!" Qi Wei smiled.

  "Thank you!" Chu Tianfeng opened the computer, now he really needed a computer and a quiet online environment, which were obviously available here.

  Chu Tianfeng studied C language programming for several days, combined with the network knowledge of his previous life, and returned to the WIN95 era, playing it was simply effortless.

  In 1998, the Internet in China was just getting started. There were very few websites, and only a handful of major portals like Netease, Sina, and Sohu existed, all still in the experimental stage of building their sites. Web design was also extremely simple. To Chu Tianfeng, who had traveled back from ten years later, it looked like child's play.

  But for him, this is also an opportunity! The current Internet is almost without competition, and no good promotion profit model has been found, with a very broad operating space.

  Chu Tianfeng stared at the simple portal website homepage on his computer, and a thought occurred to him: "If I could build a website now, it would definitely have great prospects. Who knows, maybe in the future, Huaxia Country will have another large-scale portal website!"

  However, with his current financial resources, building a portal website is extremely difficult. Not to mention the government approval fees, even if Chu Tianfeng can design the webpage himself now, for the website to operate, he must rent servers, right? And also consider hiring maintenance personnel, all of which are huge expenses!

  Chu Tianfeng currently only has a bonus of less than 10,000 yuan, and wants to build a large portal website, which is simply a drop in the bucket.

  He had an idea, since we can't build a big website, why not a small one with development potential?

  "Ah-ha!" Chu Tianfeng's eyes lit up, secretly ecstatic: "I can build a website navigation! Just like hao123, this is probably the simplest website right now. The creator only had a junior high school education, and it was just a few static link pages, but after a few years, it actually sold for 500 million!"

  Chu Tianfeng secretly calculated that with so many past life experiences to draw upon, building a website navigation would definitely be done better than hao123. In fact, the name doesn't sound very memorable, but because it was built early, netizens were first to enter and satisfy the initial online needs of primary netizens. Moreover, building this kind of navigation website requires little investment, has simple pages, and is easy to manage, with many advantages.

  "If I build it, I'll call it 123 Website Navigation, doesn't that sound great and easy to remember!" Chu Tianfeng stared at the webpage on his computer, starting to plan out the rough outline of his website.
