Chapter 1254 - 1181: Isn’t This a Coincidence?
Zhang Bin’s high school grades were not great, but they still allowed him to get into a private vocational college near Jingbei.
Before school started, he considered that commuting daily might be too exhausting, so he rented a student room near the school. He rented a floor specifically divided for students, which was an illegal construction on the old apartment’s sixth-floor roof. It had six rooms that shared a bathroom and a small kitchen, and outside, the rooftop had a small balcony to dry clothes.
The tenants in the room downstairs would return every now and then, and when they did, there would be chaos and noise, so loud that Zhang Bin needed to watch over a dozen short videos to fall asleep.
Having lived there for a while, Zhang Bin even became somewhat desensitized. In the evenings, he just put on headphones and got to work ... those internet side jobs.
He mainly focused on selling various accounts. Initially, it was all kinds of QQ accounts, then it evolved into various game accounts and phone numbers. Occasionally, he would also take on some boosting services, but he would contract these out to downstream studios he knew well.
Zhang Bin felt pretty comfortable, responding to messages and finding resources all day, making tens of thousands of yuan, a lot better than what they taught at school.
The only thing that made Zhang Bin feel insecure was the judgment from the real world. But Zhang Bin wasn’t anxious; once he earned a little more money, he’d buy a car or something. By then, people would naturally look at him with more respect.
Fueled by this mindset, Zhang Bin became increasingly active in account creation. He was willing to earn small amounts that others would not bother with, and brave enough to deal with grey markets others dared not touch. His reputation grew each day, and his resources accumulated more and more.
That day, Zhang Bin stayed up all night again, went downstairs to get breakfast, and then planned to go back and sleep.
When he reached downstairs, he happened to encounter a young lady wearing high heels who was leaving.
The young lady had bright eyes and a radiant smile, wearing a tracksuit. She laughed at Zhang Bin, then put her hand on her lips, signaling with a "shhh", and smiled at Zhang Bin again.
