Inside a spacious villa with simple decor.
In the spacious living room on the first floor, a extremely spacious table was placed in the center of the 60 square meter living room. There were six computers on the table, and more than a dozen large and small screens hung on both sides of the living room walls.
A few young men were sitting at the table, some tapping on the keyboard while staring at the screen, some eating melon seeds.
Another man came out from the kitchen next door, carrying a glass of fruit juice.
The man went back to sit in front of the computer screen, holding the fruit juice in his left hand, and moving the mouse a few times with his right hand. Suddenly, he sprayed the fruit juice all over the screen.
Other people sitting next to him were concerned and asked, "A-Jun, what's wrong?"
Tang Jun hurriedly pulled some tissues next to him to wipe his mouth, "Nothing, I just saw something interesting."
He pulled out a few more tissues to wipe the screen, thought for a while, and typed a line on the keyboard.
【Master, which mountain did you graduate from?】
Tang Jun thought about it, he shouldn't say that, and deleted everything.
He typed again, 【Brother, study hard, give back to society after you succeed.】
-
On the other side, Shen Feixian received a reply to his forum post.
Most were encouraging him, some said he was bragging, and Shen Feixian sorted them into categories and replied accordingly.
For the term "give back to society", Shen Feixian looked it up skillfully and learned its meaning.
So giving back to society means doing good deeds for the world!
He promptly replied, 【Don't worry senior, recently I've caught many online scammers and will hand them over to law enforcement.】
Tang Jun sitting in front of the computer burst into laughter while drinking fruit juice.
This attracted the gaze of several people next to him, "What's so funny?"
"Nothing, just encountered something amusing!"
Tang Jun closed the web page and continued to focus on work.
Shen Feixian kept reading his unfinished book, studying the internet of this era.
After breakfast, apprentice brothers Feng Juechen and Yu Qing tidied up the house diligently, while Yu Qing took the balloons brought back yesterday and got ready to go out and buy groceries.
"Senior sister, I'm going out to buy groceries, want to go out together?" Feng Juechen suddenly asked.
Yu Qing nodded, "Okay."
The apprentice brothers didn't have ID cards, and were afraid to spend money, so their range of activities was small, mostly relying on walking.
The vegetable market was right next to the community, just across the street.
The senior sister and junior brother stood in front of the pedestrian crossing. Feng Juechen still looked at the busy street scene before him with curiosity, appreciating the scenery of the street.
"Did senior sister go job hunting yesterday?"
Yu Qing nodded, "Yes!"
"Did senior sister find a satisfactory job?"
Recalling what she had seen and heard yesterday, Yu Qing sighed and said, "There are, just not really to my liking."
"If we could be like the people here, I actually want to find a job I like..."
Yu Qing was referring to ID cards. Many jobs require ID cards, which they didn't have.
"Don't be discouraged senior sister, there must be a way!" Feng Juechen comforted.
The two went separate ways at the vegetable market entrance, one continued strolling the streets looking for work, the other entered the vegetable market to buy groceries with the old men and women.

Song Jixing stood at the subway entrance and called the crew to ask if the third male lead had arrived today and whether she needed to go for the shoot today.
The crew replied that he would come in the afternoon, so Song Jixing only needed to come in the afternoon.
Song Jixing hung up the phone contentedly, entered the subway entrance, and skipped work.
Half an hour later, Song Jixing stood at the competition venue of the TV show "Let's Charge Forward Together".
"Let's Charge Forward Together" was a rather popular sports program in China. The main content was for all contestants to overcome water obstacles and successfully reach the finish line.
There were no real barriers to appearing on this show, as long as you met the age and physical requirements you could sign up, so practically anyone could participate.
The main appeal was its inclusive nature and the grand prize―an air conditioner.
Summer was approaching, and her living room didn't have air conditioning.
It was time to get an air conditioner for her apprentice brothers and sisters to enjoy some cool air!
Song Jixing took her number sign and waited for her name to be called.
When she got to the host, she heard him reading off the teleprompter, "Our next contestant is called Song Jixing, from Y University, a fourth-year student this year!"
Female host: "Let's welcome this contestant!"
After reading his lines, the male host glanced at Song Jixing and exclaimed dramatically into the microphone, "Wow! This young lady is actually a great beauty!"
".....Cameraman, please give our contestant a close-up."
The female host looked at Song Jixing and smiled, "I don't know if it's just me, but I feel like I've seen this female contestant somewhere before!"
".....You think every beauty you see looks familiar?" The male host retorted.
"No way! I don't think you look familiar at all!"
The two hosts chuckled, and Song Jixing was given a big close-up. One of the gimmicks of this show was discovering standout amateurs, and with her exceptional looks, Song Jixing naturally qualified.
"Come, let our contestant introduce herself!" The female host moved the conversation along.
Holding the mic, Song Jixing smiled brightly at the camera, "Hello everyone, my name is Song Jixing."
The male host seized the opportunity to ask, "That was a very concise introduction. Could this beauty reveal some more info to our viewers, like where are you from, what's your goal for today's competition?"
Song Jixing: "I'm local to Y City, and my goal today is to win an air conditioner to take home."
"Great, let's wish this contestant success in achieving her goal to win the air conditioner! Get the course ready!"
Song Jixing took a few steps forward and stepped onto the course.
The show looked simple, but many people were stumped at the first obstacle.
With the countdown sounding in the venue, "Three, two, one......"
Song Jixing darted forward with an arrow step.
"Alright, our contestant has now begun the first obstacle..."
Before the host could finish speaking, Song Jixing swiftly stepped over the five rolling drums on the water and reached the other shore in less than two seconds.
"It seems this contestant made ample preparations before coming to compete today, and has a decent grasp of our course..."
The two hosts smoothly began their commentary.
Watching, the male host couldn't help but laugh and exclaim, "Why do I feel like these first three obstacles were so easy? The contestant whooshed right through them..."
As he spoke, the male host gestured with his hands.
"Could it be she really did come to our show today just to claim the prize!"
The two hosts smoothly began their flattering remarks.
In the space of their few sentences, Song Jixing had already crossed the balance balls and hooks on the water...
The whole process took less than ten seconds.
