Chapter 275: 275 Shallow or Deep (Part 1)freewēbnoveℓ.comGao Fangzhou’s classmate’s family name was Le, and his nickname was Lele. Different from Gao Fangzhou’s slender stature, Lele was about one meter eighty-something tall. Standing together, they gave off an illusion of one being from heaven and the other from earth. "A cash register system," Lele got interested as soon as he heard it: "That’s a solid idea, why haven’t I thought of that before? If there’s a cash register system, it would make collecting money in stores much more convenient." "I also heard from someone that computers, those gadgets, are more useful than human brains. Since Fangzhou studies computer science, I just shared this idea with him." Modern cash register systems were already well developed, summarizing daily shipments, sales, and profits, all with the click of a computer. If it’s just a small store, using a calculator to collect money might not pose any problem. But if one wants to open a large supermarket, having good cash register equipment would be much more convenient. "We could give it a try and help you out," Lele was shrewder than Gao Fangzhou, supposedly born into a business family, his mind slicker than most: "Just that, if we get this working for you, what’s in it for us?" "There will certainly be benefits." Xiaofeng looked at him and smiled slightly, "We could pay you directly, or you could apply for a patent and I could buy the computers from you, whatever you charge per unit." After all, if they actually managed to develop a cash register system, it wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing for them. Starting next year, a large number of supermarkets would debut domestically. Whoever got the first big leg up would be the winner. Hearing Xiaofeng’s words, Fangzhou repeated, "Apply for a patent?" "Right." Xiaofeng nodded, "It’s something you’ve created, of course, you should apply for a patent. If anyone wants to use it, they’d have to pay you." "This sounds good," Lele clapped his hands, "Fangzhou, we should give it a try. If this cash register system really works well, we could set up a company and recommend it to stores nationwide." The old methods of cash handling were going to be obsolete, and new methods would inevitably replace the old, so they needed to be the first ones to take the plunge. Lele and Gao Fangzhou were willing to help Xiaofeng see if they could develop it, which was good news for her. She had thought it through; if it really didn’t work out, she would start by operating a small supermarket, and later when a superior cash register was available, she would then expand to larger supermarkets. If Lele and his team could succeed on their first try, that would be the best scenario. Lele also ordered ten boxes of goods, and Xiaofeng promised to deliver them that afternoon. Gao Fangzhou mentioned he wanted to discuss further with Lele how to develop the cash register system and told Xiaofeng to head back first; he would leave later. Coming out of the small shop, Xiaofeng walked alone towards the main gate of the school. The person in the black car saw Xiaofeng leave alone and immediately got excited: "Look, the woman is coming out." "She’s going to cross the street now, hurry, drive towards her," another person commanded as they watched Xiaofeng getting ready to cross the street. "Brother, didn’t you say to snatch her into the car?" Although the driver spoke, he had already started the car. "The boss didn’t specify how to execute the plan, just mentioned teaching her a lesson," another person watched Xiaofeng approaching with a cold smirk on his lips: "Hit her." "Safety warning, a car is driving straight towards the owner," Xiaoqi’s voice rang out, slightly tense. Xiaofeng looked up and indeed saw a black car, full throttle, heading straight for her, the situation extremely critical. Xiaofeng certainly knew who had sent the people in the black car, but what she hadn’t expected was that they were brazen enough to drive directly at her. She stood still, watching the black car approach, her eyes narrowing slightly. She took a stone out of her space, her mind summoning the Spiritual Mirror Power, with the help of Spiritual Mirror Power, she lifted the stone to smash it at the car. "Ah, ah." Many students nearby watched as the black car drove towards a woman, immediately frightened pale, screaming in panic. As the car approached closer, Xiaofeng gripped the stone in her hand, and with a gentle toss, the stone flew out, heading straight for the car. Just as Xiaofeng threw the stone, a female student pulled her aside, exclaiming frantically: "Are you out of your mind? Someone is going to hit you, why don’t you dodge?" Xiaofeng looked towards her. The person had short hair, wore jeans, white sneakers, and had a round, slightly plump face. Her tone was rapid, clearly an impatient person. The driver of the black car was still puzzled, wondering if the woman had been scared silly because she was standing motionless. Suddenly, the woman moved her hand, and it was unclear what she threw into the sky. "Oh no, it’s a stone." When the driver saw the stone about to fall towards his car, he almost instinctively tried to dodge. The car swerved unstably and drove directly to the side, crashing into a large tree on the roadside. The stone, as if having eyes, fell just in front of the car at the moment it collided with the tree. With a loud crash, the front windshield shattered, spraying glass shards across the faces of the two people in the front, blood streaming down. "Oh my God, there’s been an accident, there’s been an accident," passersby and students exclaimed, frightened by the scene. Some students even ran to a nearby phone booth to call the police and an ambulance. "Are you alright?" The short-haired girl looked at Xiaofeng and upon realizing she was pregnant, she understood why Xiaofeng had been so scared.

Although she was standing there, the car certainly couldn’t hit her, but to others, she must have looked terrified, which was why she didn’t dodge. "That makes sense, anyone in that situation would be completely bewildered," the short-haired girl said as she glanced at the small car nearby. The car’s body was deformed from hitting the big tree, and the two people inside seemed to have passed out. The three people in the car weren’t unconscious; they were just consistently muttering, "What are you looking at? Get us out." "Serves you right," the short-haired girl muttered, "acting so vile towards a pregnant woman." Seeing that Xiaofeng was unharmed, the short-haired girl prepared to leave: "These days, some people drive like the roads belong to them, totally ignoring traffic rules. You’re pregnant; when you go out, you should be extra careful. Not just for yourself, but for your unborn child as well." Hearing her words, Xiaofeng knew this person was not only impulsive but also kind-hearted, "Are you a student from Haicheng University? My name is Su Xiaofeng. And you?" "Just call me ’Good Samaritan.’ I’m just a passerby, goodbye," the short-haired girl said as she shook her head and walked away. Xiaofeng watched her leaving figure with a sense of helplessness, noting the young girl’s strong personality. Xiaofeng glanced at the nearby car and slowly turned to head back to school. The other party wanted to hurt her, and if it hadn’t been for her "Spiritual Mirror Power," it was uncertain what would have happened; thus, she didn’t care about the condition of the people in the car. The police arrived very quickly. The people in the car claimed that the brakes had failed, they couldn’t stop the car at all, and had to swerve abruptly to avoid a pregnant woman in the middle of the road, which caused the accident. To everyone around, their story seemed plausible because the car was indeed speeding, and just when it looked like the car was about to hit the pedestrian, it suddenly swerved to the side. While the people in the car had seen the stone, they hadn’t paid attention, just as the bystanders hadn’t noticed anything other than the pedestrian and the body of the car. The police quickly took their statements and had an ambulance take them away. When Xiaofeng returned to Ms. Liao’s house, brothers Wu Yifan were helping Ms. Liao sort some documents. Seeing Xiaofeng return alone, Ms. Liao looked outside, "Where’s Fangzhou? Why didn’t he come back with you?" "He’s at a classmate’s called Lele, said he had something to discuss and told me to come back first." "They’ve been playing together since they were kids," Ms. Liao said once she heard the name Lele, "Lele is different from my Fangzhou, quite sly perhaps because his parents are businesspeople." Xiaofeng had also noticed earlier, Lele indeed had the shrewdness of a businessman. ... The school gate had returned to its usual calm, trees beside the road showed signs of a collision, with leaves scattered and the nearby guardrails damaged. A man glanced at the people carried away by the ambulance, then at the damaged car before going to a phone booth to make a call, "Boss, some people tried to attack the lady, but for some reason, they crashed into a tree." Whatever was said on the other end of the line, the man hung up the phone. The exact words on the phone were: "Some people don’t know the depth of the waters and dare to offend those they shouldn’t— they should suffer unbearable consequences." So, someone would have to take responsibility for today’s incident.
