I'm back in 1990

Chapter 980: Aunt Cheng

"Huo Xinyuan, you dropped out of school?"

Huo Xinyuan's best friend from school, Yang Lin, called her.

Huo Xinyuan herself did not expect the consequences of skipping school last time to be so serious. It seems that her uncle was angry. Otherwise, he would not have arranged for her to attend classes alone in the library. Moreover, her uncle's office is in the building next door. He would come over to check on her from time to time to see if she was studying seriously. He would also chat with several teachers. Unlike her own parents, he was not so easy to fool.

She's like a caged bird now, with people following her every day. She was initially secretly pleased that her computer hadn't been confiscated, but then she couldn't play games anymore and couldn't log in at all. And this wasn't an isolated case. Huo Xinyuan tried it, and she couldn't log into any of the games, nor could she log in with other people's accounts. It was truly unbelievable.

What she didn't know was that her uncle had set up a double blockade for her. First, any account associated with her would be banned. Second, to prevent her from registering and logging in with other people's information, the IP address she used was also locked, meaning that no one could log in to any game from that IP address.

Now she's followed everywhere she goes, and she basically has no chance to go to internet cafes or other places to go online anymore. Although the computers in the library can access the internet, the permissions are limited; she can only browse some websites and web pages. Want to play games? No way.

This isn't directed at Huo Xinyuan alone; after all, this is a library, not an internet cafe, and the computers are for researching information.

However, the phone wasn't confiscated. It was just a regular phone that could make and receive calls. If it were a smartphone, that might not be the case, but smartphones are not yet widespread in China.

Huo Xinyuan was happy to receive a call from her friend, but her mood instantly soured after hearing her friend's question.

However, she explained to her friend, "No, I have some family matters to attend to recently, and my family has given me a long leave of absence."

Yang Lin couldn't help but worry after hearing this: "What's wrong? Are you alright?"

"It's nothing serious, don't worry," Huo Xinyuan reassured her friend.

Yang Lin asked again, "Can you come back before the high school entrance exam?" Although she knew that her friend's results wouldn't be ideal if she took the exam, she still didn't want her friend to miss it, in case she performed exceptionally well.

It was because of this mindset that she became Huo Xinyuan's good friend, but she didn't know what kind of family background her good friend had.

"I don't know either, we'll see when the time comes!" Huo Xinyuan didn't tell Yang Lin the truth because her uncle told her that she wasn't allowed to tell anyone about not taking the high school entrance exam this year. She might not listen to others, but she would definitely listen to her uncle. She knew that, apart from her parents, her uncle was the best person to her since she was little, and he was also omnipotent.

"So what are you doing now?"

Huo Xinyuan looked out the window. It was raining outside. It was the annual plum rain season again. The plum rain had just begun, and there had been continuous heavy and light rain. Although she was on a high place, she could not see the beautiful scenery outside the window at all. Because of the height, the entire floor where she was was shrouded in rain and mist at low altitude.

"Nothing much, just reading."

It was lunchtime, and she was taking a nap in the lounge. Although she couldn't go online to play games, she had no shortage of books. Besides, how could the library not have books?

Just then, there was a knock on the door of the lounge.

Huo Xinyuan quickly said, "Okay, I can't chat with you anymore. I have something to do here. I'll call you back when I have time."

"Okay, okay!" Then the two hung up the phone together.

It was Cheng Ling who knocked on the door. She was the only one in the entire library who knew Huo Xinyuan's true identity, so Huang Xiaochuan asked her to look after her.

"Six catties, look what this is?"

Cheng Ling came to deliver ice cream to Huo Xinyuan.

When Huo Xinyuan saw that Cheng Ling had brought ice cream, she was very happy. Most people can't resist desserts, and Huo Xinyuan was no exception: "Oh, ice cream! Thank you, Aunt Cheng."

The two were already quite familiar with each other, because Huo Xinyuan knew that this was her second aunt's younger sister. Maowa, Miguo, and Dandan all called her Little Aunt, so she called Cheng Ling Aunt Cheng.

"You've finished your ice cream, go and rest for a while, you have class this afternoon." Cheng Ling looked at Huo Xinyuan and thought to herself how lucky this child was, how much her uncle cared for her.

Huo Xinyuan took a big lick of the ice cream as soon as she got it, and then nodded repeatedly to indicate that she understood.

"Mmm, I'll go to sleep after I finish eating."

Cheng Ling then left the lounge with peace of mind.

This lounge was originally an unused empty room, but it was suddenly transformed into a lounge. It was decorated in a very warm and comfortable style. At first, the library staff did not know what this lounge was for, because they all had their own lounges, so this separately decorated lounge was definitely not for their use.

Soon after, a teenage girl arrived, which solved the mystery. But even more mysteries followed. This girl, who looked like a middle school student, came every day, and several teachers even gave her lessons. That was quite remarkable.

However, this girl is always accompanied by two capable women who do not allow outsiders to approach her, so no one can get close to her except Cheng Ling.

So when Cheng Ling returned to her office, several colleagues surrounded her.

"Cheng Ling, who is that little girl?"

Cheng Ling gave a vague and perfunctory answer: "It's from my relative's family."

This answer certainly displeased several curious colleagues, but it successfully piqued their curiosity.

"Your relatives? Then your relatives must be very rich, right?"

Cheng Ling smiled. She was right. This relative was beyond just being rich.

However, these colleagues were unaware of Huang Xiaochuan's relationship with their family. When Cheng Ling married Chen Zhe, Huang Xiaochuan, as a relative and Chen Zhe's classmate and friend, sat in the private room. Therefore, many guests did not know that he had attended the wedding and naturally did not know about the relationship. Fortunately, Cheng Ling was not the kind of person who liked to show off to others.

While Cheng Ling was busy dealing with her colleagues, Huang Xiaochuan was holding a meeting via satellite network in another building not far from them.

On the other end of the network, his image did not appear on the big screen, which made most of the attendees feel that he was very mysterious. Moreover, he did not say a word throughout the meeting, but just listened quietly to the discussions and speeches of the attendees.

Under his deliberate leadership, Sun Microsystems has now developed into a massive technology company with branch R&D facilities all over the world, and its main business has expanded from its original state.

Sun Microsystems' original focus on minicomputers gradually evolved into mainframe enterprise systems, and it also added quantum computing research and ventured into the chip manufacturing field.
