Chapter 113 The Ordeal of the Cyber Doctor
When Wang Zhi returned from her stroll around, she was shocked to find a long queue outside the repair stall: "Holy crap, what's going on?"
Based on her observations over the past few years since joining the school's science and technology association, it's rare for such a small event to attract so many attendees.
So she walked over and randomly struck up a conversation with a student who was in line, saying, "Hey, what's going on here? Why are there so many people?"
"Doesn't it say on the stall that they repair laptops?" the student said, pointing to the red banner.
"Uh... it's just a free dust cleaning service, why is the line so long?" Wang Zhi expressed his incomprehension.
The student smiled and explained, "Not only that, I heard that the student in charge today is really amazing. He can not only help clean laptops and install software, but also handle all kinds of difficult hardware and software problems."
"They can even give advice on desktop computer issues. Many groups are saying that there is a beautiful and skilled cybernetic female Hua Tuo here, so I came here because of her reputation."
"Is that so..." After listening to the explanation, Wang Zhi roughly understood what was going on. What was originally just a routine small activity organized by the Science and Technology Association had now become Chen Sui's personal show. Moreover, she wasn't even a member of the Science and Technology Association; she just came to help him when she had time.
Wang Zhi turned back to her stall, where Chen Sui was discussing computer specifications with a girl across from her. The girl directly presented a computer configuration list for consultation, which made Wang Zhi look worried.
"Senior, you've been ripped off with this configuration. Luckily you haven't paid yet. For this price, you could upgrade the CPU from a Core i5 to a Core i7, and even get a Ti graphics card."
Those people in the computer mall really know how to make money. There's nothing wrong with wanting to make money, but the problem is that they want to make too much. No wonder online shopping is becoming more and more popular.
"Oh, but I don't know how to install computers, there's nothing I can do," the girl said with a troubled expression.
"Hmm, it's okay. How about this, you add me as a friend, you buy the parts, and I'll assemble it for you," Chen Sui said after thinking for a moment.
"Wow, junior, you're so kind. Don't worry, I won't take advantage of you for free. How much do you charge?" The girl's eyes lit up, and she asked with delight.
"No need... uh, just fifty yuan, not expensive, right?" Chen Sui originally wanted to say that it was free, but then she thought that giving it away for free was not a good idea. Too much selfless help would only make enemies.
"It's not expensive, it's fine then." The girl added Chen Sui as a friend and left happily.
Seeing that she had a moment to spare, Wang Zhi asked, "Xiao Sui, you only charge fifty yuan to assemble a computer for someone, it's like doing charity, what's the difference?"
Chen Sui just smiled and replied calmly, "It wasn't really about making money. Just think of it as making more friends. Someone I know always says, 'Having more friends means having more options.' Who knows when they might be able to help you?"
"This doesn't sound like something you would say. Did your friend Chen Che say it?" Wang Zhi asked curiously.
"Hmm, how did you know?" Chen Sui nodded, somewhat surprised.
"Qingqing also mentioned it once. This junior is different from many people she knows. Sometimes he only cares about immediate benefits, and sometimes he seems to have a long-term vision. It's quite interesting," Wang Zhi said.
"Yeah, that's just the kind of person he is," Chen Sui replied politely.
"Did he confess his feelings to you?" Wang Zhi suddenly asked.
Chen Sui was about to greet the other students in line behind her when she heard this abrupt and seemingly unrelated remark, and couldn't help but smile helplessly: "Senior, where did you come up with this question?"
"Just tell me if you have it or not."
"No," Chen Sui said decisively, shaking her head.
"Oh, so he really does like you, right?" Wang Zhi said confidently.
"...?"
Chen Sui sometimes found it difficult to deal with Wang Zhi's style of bringing up sensitive topics, so she simply remained silent and focused on doing her work.
Another boy wearing glasses sat down. His request was simple: to clean the dust off his laptop. He even kindly reminded him, "Young man, be careful, this laptop of mine isn't easy to disassemble."
Chen Sui glanced at her laptop, subconsciously nodded and said okay. However, she had already disassembled quite a few of this model. Although it was a bit difficult, she knew it by heart and there was no way she could break it.
Most laptops nowadays still have external batteries that can be removed directly. After removing the battery, Chen Sui picked up a screwdriver and first unscrewed all the screws on the D side, sorting them into small boxes. After making sure no screws were missing, she carefully took out a scraper and slowly pried it open in the gap.
However, it didn't feel as difficult to pry open as she had imagined. Instead, it slid open easily, clearly indicating that it had been disassembled before. But that wasn't surprising; it's normal for people to tinker with their own laptops.
Chen Sui glanced at it and found that a clip on the upper right corner of the laptop was broken off, which was why it was so easy to pry it open.
Seeing that the other party didn't react, Chen Sui continued with the next steps. The whole thing wasn't very dirty; she just cleaned out the dust and replaced the thermal paste on the CPU core. The whole process was quick. Then she put the bottom cover back in the same place and tightened the screws diagonally.
"Alright, classmate, the computer's all set up. Take a look. Please keep an eye on our Science and Technology Association's activities in the future," Chen Sui said with a smile.
"Hmm," the bespectacled man took the notebook without getting up or leaving. He meticulously inspected it along the edges like a peddler, then suddenly frowned, pointed to the upper right corner of the computer, and demanded in a very loud voice, "Why is my computer loose here?"
Chen Sui was taken aback, not understanding: "The clip on this corner of your computer is broken; it was loose to begin with."
"Nonsense, it was perfectly fine before I gave it to you. It broke after you took it apart. You must have broken it."
Upon hearing that there was a dispute, Wang Zhi dropped what he was doing and came to check on the situation.
"Hey classmate, what's wrong?" Wang Zhi asked.
The bespectacled man glanced at Wang Zhi, then pointed at Chen Sui with his finger: "She broke my computer, and she won't admit it."
Wang Zhi looked in the direction he was pointing, and Chen Sui looked completely innocent: "Senior, I didn't. That corner of his computer was already broken."
Wang Zhi certainly believed her, but with so many people watching, simply saying he believed her wasn't enough. So he asked, "Did you take any photos before you dismantled it?"
Chen Sui shook her head.
Wang Zhi clicked his tongue. This was troublesome. Without evidence, how could he prove whether the buckle broke immediately after Chen Sui removed it or after she removed it? This is why it's important to keep records of your work!
Seeing Wang Zhi's somewhat unpleasant expression, Chen Sui became a little anxious herself. Just as she was about to speak, Wang Zhi shielded her behind her. As a senior who trusted and wanted to protect her, she directly negotiated with the bespectacled man: "So, classmate, what do you want?"
"It's simple, just pay up," the bespectacled man said matter-of-factly, as if he had expected it all along.
