Chapter 30: Episode 30: Start Fresh Again 1
Zhou Xueyin opened her computer and rifled through her previous transfer records to find the recipient’s account number.
“Hmm, you scamd
out of my money! I’ll make sure you can’t get your hands on it either!” Zhou Xueyin said with venom.
The other three people looked at Zhou Xueyin in confusion, having no idea what she planned to do next.
Zhou Xueyin entered the bank account number she had transferred money to into the online banking page, then randomly typed in a few numbers…
“Huh?” The website displayed the following ssage: “Sorry, you have entered the wrong password too many tis, and your bank card has been locked.”
“What? Sobody already did what I wanted to do?” Zhou Xueyin said in surprise as she stared at the screen.
“Yinyin, were you trying to lock the scamr’s bank card?” Kang Siyin figured out what was going on.
“Yes! But it seems soone beat
to it. Look, see for yourselves…” Zhou Xueyin showed the screen to everyone.
“Genius! Right, you should report this to the police imdiately and file a report. Who knows, if they catch the scamr, you might be able to recover the money you were conned out of!” Kang Siyin thrust her phone into Zhou Xueyin’s hand.
“Right! Call the police! Got so wrapped up in anger when I got back that I forgot the most important thing.” Zhou Xueyin quickly dialed 110.
It turned out that the incident of being swindled out of the internet package money by the fake Ying Haiwei was already on file at the police station. Now all she needed to do was give her personal details, bank account number for the transfer, and wait for further information. As for the final outco, that would depend on whether the mastermind was caught.
“Oh well… Live and learn. I can’t be this impulsive anymore,” Zhou Xueyin muttered to herself after hanging up the phone.
“Actually, when it cos to entrepreneurship, we really need that kind of impulse to just go for it like you do. Otherwise, people like , KK, and Shanbao, who have a tendency to procrastinate, could never have started a small company right after graduating,” Li Jixiang admired Zhou Xueyin.
Her admiration was sincere; she had missed out on a lot because of her own procrastination and still hadn’t changed her ways or rather, found it impossible to change.
Unless things were at a critical point, she was generally not in a hurry.
But Zhou Xueyin wasn’t like that. Once she set out to do sothing, she would ticulously plan her ti and organize all her work properly, leaving a margin for error.
In general, she was always the first one in the dorm to finish every academic task.
Although the quality was questionable, she ensured rapid completion.
“Right, right, Yinyin is all about action, saying she’s going to go street shooting and actually hitting the streets the very next day. Unlike , I wait until the last minute to start designing clothes and practice dancing…” Yao Shanshan rembered her own chaos when she cosplayed as Yuna.
“I won’t flatter you anymore — would hate for you to get too cocky… Just make sure you think twice the next ti you make any money-related decisions, and you can avoid this kind of incident,” Kang Siyin pushed her glasses up.
“Okay, okay, I got it. But with Ying Haiwei, I did compare different options and asked a lot of people… and you all saw what happened. We all fell into the trap together…” Zhou Xueyin defended herself, “Of course, I know I was looking for a bargain. Who knew that with virtual hosting cheap is not always good… Next ti, I’ll definitely be more careful!”
Although Zhou Xueyin still harbored doubts about whether she was really cut out for entrepreneurship, now that she had embarked on this path and brought her three dormmates along, she resolved to stay the course!
Besides, she had already made a “boastful claim” to make those who looked down on female entrepreneurs drop their jaws in shock — she couldn’t let the bumps in the entrepreneurial road intimidate her.
This ti at worst, she was just paying for a lesson. It was better that it happened in the early stages of her business than later on, when the company was more established and a mistake would be more costly.
“Phew…” Zhou Xueyin took a deep breath, “Today’s the first day of August; let’s just call it the website’s establishnt day, the day of rebirth!”
After speaking with such poise, Zhou Xueyin deflatedly asked Kang Siyin, “So, have we already transferred our forum data and domain na out?”
“The good news I hadn’t shared with you yet is… actually, while you were out street sweeping, Jixiang, Shanshan, and I pitched in our pocket money and rented a Wanwang virtual host for one month, giving us 200MB of space,” Kang Siyin paused, “Then, I’ve already moved all the data and the domain na over to the new space, so you can rest easy!”
“Really? Why didn’t you tell
sooner?” Zhou Xueyin’s eyes welled up with tears as she heard Kang Siyin’s words.
“I was really just thinking of it as a backup, but who knew it would actually co in handy…” Kang Siyin pushed her glasses up.
“You guys are too good to …” Zhou Xueyin suddenly hugged all three of them tightly.
These three people were really the most important in her life, second only to her parents.
Zhou Xueyin firmly believed that with them three as her support, she would definitely carve out a space for won in this internet world dominated by n.
The next day, the four of them slept in until 11 am, sothing they hadn’t done in a long ti.
The first thing Zhou Xueyin did after getting up was to turn on her computer to make sure the forum was still there.
Only after confirming the forum was still there did she relax.
All of yesterday’s events felt like a dream; thinking back, it all seed so unreal.
“Hmm? Where did the forum go yesterday? I always check for new content every day, but I didn’t see it yesterday…” Zhou Xueyin unexpectedly found that a netizen had left a ssage on the forum.
“Ahh!! KK! Our forum has a living netizen!” Zhou Xueyin excitedly yelled.
“There have always been netizens…” Kang Siyin said nonchalantly, as she backed up the data every day and was well aware of how many new users registered, “It’s just that they never posted any content…”
“This one! This one’s alive! Their na is… Curly Cat! This must be the first netizen to leave a ssage on our forum, right?” Whenever soone she didn’t recognize posted on the forum, Zhou Xueyin felt that her efforts were not in vain.
She quickly pulled up a chair, sat down at the computer, and replied to Curly Cat: ‘It’s like this, our forum experienced so unexpected issues with the provider yesterday, plus we went to a comics convention and couldn’t spot this problem in ti, causing you trouble, for which we’re truly sorry…’
“As compensation, we could make this Curly Cat a moderator,” Kang Siyin added.
“Moderator?” Zhou Xueyin sought confirmation from Kang Siyin.
“Yes, you don’t really think that, once the forum grows, it will still be just the four of us running it, do you? That’d be death by exhaustion,” Kang Siyin said with foresight.
“Hmm… that makes sense. However, we’ll manage the important sections ourselves. Maybe in the future, familiar netizens could be allowed to apply for moderator or deputy moderator positions on their own?” While saying this, Zhou Xueyin set Curly Cat as the moderator of the Water Cooler section.
“That works! Perfect, why don’t you write up a set of rules for moderator applications?” Kang Siyin tossed the writing task to Zhou Xueyin, then went to brush her teeth and wash her face.
“Stinky KK!” Zhou Xueyin stuck out her tongue at Kang Siyin.
Afterward, she drew from the application rules of other social forums and finished writing the rules for her own forum, then went to wash up as well.
“Which one of you can help turn on my phone…” Yao Shanshan held her phone as if it were a ti bomb, looking helplessly at everyone brushing their teeth crowded in the bathroom.
