Rebirth of Internet Hegemon

Rebirth to the year 2001. It was a rather awkward juncture in time. Tencent had risen to prominence, Alibaba had emerged, and even Baidu was raking in profits... What was the point of this rebirth? Well, if rebirth served no purpose, then why not seize the opportunity to enjoy an unambitious life of comfort? But it was a pity that Chen Yu, who had set his sights solely on living the good life, accidentally ended up dominating the world of the internet. =============== The work doesn't belong to me, I'm just a hobbyist translator doing "pro bono" work just like those novelupdates guys.

The holiday is over

"What's going on?" Chen Meihua was puzzled. "Wasn't it Xiaoyu who organized that promotional event?"

"Xiaoyu, you explain it to Sister-in-law," Chen Simian said.

Chen Simian probably understood what Chen Yu meant and looked at him.

"Little Aunt, I organized the promotional event, but you were the team leader. I anticipate that such events might be in demand from various businesses in the future. Given that, Little Aunt, why don't you specialize in this area?"

"Me, specialize in this area?"

"Yes."

"No, no, I don't have much education, I can't do it."

Chen Meihua waved her hands repeatedly, refusing.

"Meihua, why not? I think it's possible. If you focus on this in the future, although we can't predict how much money you'll make now, it's definitely better than working in a factory."

"But I'm just a rural person, I don't know anything."

"Who says you're just a rural person? Everyone comes from the countryside. Besides, you've experienced this event today, so you're familiar with it. You'll be fine."

Chen Yu did the math for Chen Meihua as he spoke. "Little Aunt, let me calculate it for you. Typically, such events require about 8 people, and each person costs 15 yuan, so the cost is around 120 yuan. If other stores want to organize events, we can quote them 300 yuan directly."

"Do people actually pay 300 yuan?"

"They do, they definitely will."

Chen Yu shook his head and said, "300 yuan is not a lot, and the advertising effect is visible. If it weren't for this, Mr. Li wouldn't have called my dad."

"But it seems like we also have costs for those drums, tubas, and things."

"All those instruments combined cost just over 1,000 yuan, which isn't expensive. Plus, it's a one-time investment that's unlikely to break. Even if they do break, you'll have made money by then, and you can buy new ones."

"But what if those ladies ask for a raise and don't want to work for just 15 yuan a day?"

"They won't. Little Aunt, trust me, 15 yuan is already not low. This job is easy and profitable, and there are plenty of stay-at-home moms in the city looking for something to do. Even if it's 10 yuan a day, plenty of people will come."

"But..."

Chen Meihua asked several questions in a row, and Chen Yu explained each one.

"Xiaoyu, do you really think I can do it?"

"Yes."

Chen Yu nodded vigorously. "Little Aunt, I really think you can. You see, the questions you asked just now, if an average person didn't consider them, I think you have a talent for business, you just haven't realized it yet."

"Yu, you're just trying to make me happy."

"Not at all."

Chen Yu said seriously, "Little Aunt, I truly believe you can do it."

"Sis, you'll definitely succeed," Chen Simian added. "Among us siblings, you've always been the smartest since childhood. If our family's circumstances had been better back then, you would have surely excelled in your studies. These years, your brother hasn't achieved much and can't help you with anything. You can give it a try."

"Brother, please don't think like that. Just like when you started your own business, I couldn't contribute a single penny."

"Sis, don't bring that up. It's unnecessary to talk about these things."

"Okay, okay, Brother, I'll listen to you. I'll go back and think about it."

Although they said that, Chen Yu knew that his sister was already considering it.

"Little Aunt, it's okay, you really need to think it over. But tomorrow, you have to take on Mr. Li's promotion."

"Oh, it's tomorrow already?"

"Yes, Little Aunt, I'm still a student, and I have to study. I can't do this every day."

"Then, I'll give it a try tomorrow."

"Sounds good."

With a smile on his lips, Chen Yu said, "By the way, Dad, you should call Mr. Li back."

"I'll do it right now."

Chen Simian smiled and immediately dialed Mr. Li's number.

When the call connected, Chen Simian handed the phone to his sister.

Chen Meihua was smart too. Although she was worried, she remained calm and said, "Is this Mr. Li? I'm Chen Meihua."

"Oh, Mr. Chen, today, was it your company that advertised for Snail Beauty?"

"Yes, that's right."

"I want to ask, how much does a set of advertising like that cost?"

"It's not expensive, just 300 yuan."

"300 yuan, indeed, not expensive. Alright, can you arrange a promotion for us tomorrow?"

"Of course, but do you have your promotional banners and such ready?"

"We've got it all set up. We hired an advertising company earlier, and they've prepared all the slogans. But that company was too expensive, they charged over 1,000 yuan. Personally, I think your effect is even better than theirs."

"That's true. Our promotion is fresh and eye-catching, and it's not expensive. When you walk down the street, the whole Xinfeng City is buzzing."

"Yes, today, I saw the effect of your team. Okay, that's settled. Please come to our store tomorrow morning."

"No problem, I'll be there tomorrow morning."

Seeing her sister getting into the groove so quickly, Chen Yu felt sweeter than honey. It seemed like having his sister take on this role was the right decision. In the future, who knows, she might start with leading the aunties in parades and advertising and eventually create a new chapter in her life.

"Well then, let's not talk anymore. Let's go back and rest."

With everything settled, everyone had smiles on their faces. Snail Beauty had not only succeeded in its grand opening but had also helped Chen Meihua secure a promising career.

This made Chen Yu feel excited just thinking about it. Even though his presence had only slightly changed his parents' and sister's lives, and he hadn't made a lot of money yet, Chen Yu believed he was moving in a positive direction.

Even if he no longer interfered in the future, they would undoubtedly have a better life than in his previous life.

...

October 8th, the National Day holiday came to an end.

"Xiaoyu, wake up quickly."

"Mom, let me sleep a bit more."

"Don't sleep anymore; you'll be late."

"No, Mom, it's not so early to sell snails."

"Silly boy, always thinking about selling snails. You have to go to class. By the way, you shouldn't come to help your parents sell snails anymore. Focus on your studies."

"Oh, it's time for class."

Hearing the words "class", Chen Yu quickly got up from his bed.

These days, he had almost forgotten that he was a student.

He hurriedly got up, washed up, and jogged to Xinfeng High School.

"Thank goodness, thank goodness, not late."

Heaving a sigh of relief just as he arrived at the classroom door, the morning reading bell rang.

Chen Yu walked into the classroom.

By now, many classmates were reading aloud.

Some were reciting poetry, some were memorizing textbooks, and others were practicing vocabulary.

Although Chen Yu was determined to make a comeback against Teacher Ma in the future, he still had to keep up with his studies.

He had forgotten a lot of the content from high school, just like his fellow classmates.

Like the others, Chen Yu opened his textbook and joined in the morning reading.

Unfortunately, he had been extremely tired these days.

Playing games, self-learning programming, and helping his parents sell snails from time to time – all of this had left him with very little sleep.

Today, he woke up so early again. As he read, Chen Yu eventually slumped over on his desk and fell asleep.
