Chapter 255: Chapter 113: B-Shares Market Reopens, 300% Return Rate!

The next morning, after waking up, the loafer put on his workout clothes as usual and went for a morning run.

To avoid shedding tears in vain in old age, a good habit needs to be maintained, and coming home still requires regular exercise.

He ran a few laps along the riverbank until the sun began to rise. Feeling he’d exercised enough, he leisurely headed home.

At Uncle Chen’s corner convenience store, he ran into many neighborhood folks, mostly retired old men and women.

Some were playing chess, others walking their dogs, some were teasing birds, playing cards, or gathering to gossip about various neighbors.

"Hey, when did the college student come back?"

"Zelin, weren’t you and Qin Shiqing both studying in Lin’an? Did you come home together?"

"..."

Seeing Su Zelin, the old neighbors greeted him warmly.

"Haha, Uncle Zhao, I got in last night."

"That’s right, Aunt Li, Qin Shiqing is back too!"

"..."

Su Zelin smiled and responded.

The neighbors were great, and he liked the vibrant atmosphere of the alleys in this era.

People often gathered together, lively and bustling, visiting each other was quite common. Unlike in future times, where people lived in apartments and might not step into a neighbor’s home for decades.

Of course, many college students feared passing by these gathering spots of neighbors. Someone like Lu Haoran might feel overwhelmed, not knowing how to handle such a scene.

But not Su Zelin; he greeted everyone and simply stopped to join the fun.

His body was still warm after his morning run, and with the sun out, it wasn’t too cold today.

He even bought a pack of Liqun cigarettes from the convenience store and handed them out one by one.

It was no secret in Willow Branch Lane that Su Zelin smoked since high school. He’d even been whipped with a belt by Su Jianjun for it, yet he remained a handful, and the news spread long ago.

If he couldn’t be stopped in high school, smoking in college was even more normal. The old folks didn’t refuse, and gladly accepted the cigarettes.

After chatting with a few old men and having a chess match with Uncle Zhao, the chess enthusiast, they battled for a while, and in the end, a careless move led to Su Zelin’s narrow defeat.

"Zelin, you’re still a bit green; you need more practice from us old guys!"

Uncle Zhao was quite pleased.

Su Zelin’s chess skills were taught by him.

The kid was smart, but still, old ginger is spicier.

"Haha, Uncle Zhao is still Uncle Zhao, your skills are not rusty at all!"

Su Zelin complimented him.

Uncle Zhao didn’t realize he was being played.

In fact, his chess skills long surpassed Uncle Zhao’s.

Even the old park chess guys Jianglan faced often had their tricks unveiled by this kid. When they saw him coming, they’d pack up their boards, waiting for him to leave before setting them out again.

But when playing against Uncle Zhao, Su Zelin always held back, letting the old master enjoy the game and have fun.

After finishing a game, Su Zelin went home, showered, and had breakfast.

His parents were out, and alone at home, he had nothing too pressing to do.

The loafer was someone who couldn’t stay idle.

During college, he often thought of going home, but now back home, he seemed a bit bored.

At the college, he could always hang out with his five funny friends in the dorm, disturb girls during class, or check out digital stores.

He figured he’d spend much of this holiday at the internet cafe, renting comics and novels, occasionally playing basketball, much like his high school summer break.

He didn’t bring the computer home; desktop PCs were too bulky for train travel, and home broadband was ridiculously expensive, not worth it compared to internet cafes.

Leaving it in the dorm wasn’t an option either. It was a valuable thing worth over ten thousand bucks, and the flimsy dorm locks could be opened with a wire. The dorm manager wouldn’t be around to check constantly.

The college had a computer storage service, but even though the fee wasn’t much, there was no need to spend it. The loafer directly hauled it to the digital store’s warehouse.

Kang Baohong wasn’t going home for the break, helping manage the store instead, so it was safe.

Oh, and there was another important thing to do.

He had promised the underclassman that he’d visit once he returned to Jianglan, so he must keep his promise.

It’d be best to go and see her after Huang Panpan finishes class in the evening.

Before that, a trip to the internet cafe was in order.

With a six-figure amount in his account, before the digital store started stocking up for the new term, he had some money to spare, and perhaps find ways to make it grow a bit more.

Thinking of this, Su Zelin hurried downstairs, hopped on his bike, and headed straight to his best friend’s house.

You needed a partner to go to an internet cafe; otherwise, it’d be too boring.

...

Half an hour later, at New Heaven and Earth Internet Cafe.

The two of them walked through the door.

Though the cafe was crowded, it wasn’t packed, and there were still plenty of empty seats.

The customers were mainly locals and college students returning home for the holidays.

Middle and high school students had a few more days before their break, so it wasn’t the peak time for the internet cafe yet.

The two friends reached the counter, and to their surprise, today the pretty internet cafe staffer they met after the college entrance exams was on duty.

"College students, you’re back, huh?"

The staffer had a good memory and instantly recognized them.

Especially Su Zelin. She remembered him particularly well, being handsome and last year’s top scorer in the English section of the college entrance exams.

Since starting college, they’d still chatted on QQ occasionally.

"Haha, yes, I took the train all night, just got back to Jianglan this morning, missed you so much, so I rushed over as soon as I unpacked, praying I’d see you before entering, and here you are!"
