Chapter 1112: Internet Connection On The Chinese Herb Farm

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Chairman Wang was stunned when he heard Mi Wei’s request. “The internet?”

Mi Wei pulled out his phone. “Internet for going online. The kind with a satellite connection.”

Chairman Wang was at a loss. Was a satellite required in order to access the internet?”

Was he behind the times already?

Chairman Wang could not help turning to look at his assistant beside him since he was a young man. The assistant promptly knew what Chairman Wang meant. The assistant asked Mi Wei. “Mr. Mi, are you talking about wifi?”

Previously, Mi Wei was only reachable online. When the assistant asked about Mi Wei’s mobile number, Mi Wei mentioned he did not have one. Initially, the assistant thought that Mi Wei simply did not want to give the association his mobile number.

“Uh huh. The internet.” Mi Wei nodded hurriedly.

The assistant explained patiently. “There is no internet on the Chinese herb farm. If you need it, we can install it.”

Even though the farm was located in a rural area, it should have internet coverage, so they should have no problem getting an internet connection.

The assistant paused and could not help looking at Mi Wei’s phone. Even though Mi Wei had a mobile phone, he did not have a SIM card. For some reason, it felt a little strange. How did he previously access the internet without a SIM card then?

“Do you really not have a SIM card?” asked the assistant perplexedly.

Mi Wei shook his head. He could access the internet with a click of a button where he lived. Why would he need a SIM card for his phone?

Since he had no need to contact anyone, a SIM card was useless to him.

The assistant could not help feeling even more puzzled.

“Can you make arrangements to get Mr. Mi a SIM card?” Chairman Wang only instructed his assistant to do so, thinking that Mi Wei’s hometown must have been too rural for him to get his hands on a SIM card.

“Yes, Chairman Wang.” The assistant quickly composed himself and acknowledged him. In this time and age, it was hard to reach people if they did not have a mobile phone.

Mi Wei pondered briefly but did not turn down the offer to get a SIM card.

After the discussion about Chinese herb cultivation with Chairman Wang, Assistant Wang showed Mi Wei out of the association.

Assistant Wang brought Mi Wei to the mobile store and got him a SIM card.

Mi Wei did not know how to install the card, so he handed his phone to Assistant Wang. “Can you please help me install it? Appreciate it.”

“Sure thing.” Assistant Wang took Mi Wei’s phone but was quickly stunned when he saw its appearance.

The entire phone was straight and metallic with rounded corners. From the looks of it, it was a high-technology phone. Although the assistant did not pay attention to phones, he could tell that this was no mainstream model.

Wasn’t Mi Wei just a Chinese herb farmer from the countryside?

Assistant Wang parted his lips. “Your phone is…”

“What’s wrong with my phone? Are you unable to install the SIM card?” asked Mi Wei as he frowned.

“It works fine.” Assistant Wang had already spotted a small slot for inserting the SIM card on the side of the phone.

Mi Wei heaved in relief. “1 see. I’m glad.”

Assistant Wang glanced at Mi Wei but did not continue probing. He spotted the power button on the side of the device and gave it a long press to turn it off. When he noticed notifications appearing on the phone, he could not help feeling puzzled.

Mi Wei did not even have a SIM card on his phone. Without the internet, how could he receive notifications?

Just as Assistant Wang was feeling puzzled, he glanced at the internet connection icon.

The phone had full bars.

It completely slipped his mind that phones were able to automatically access free wifi in some places nearby.

Assistant Wang was completely unsuspecting. He proceeded to borrow a SIM card key and inserted the card into the phone.

After seeing Mi Wei off, Assistant Wang went back to the Apothecaries’ Association where he encountered the deputy chairman downstairs.

The deputy chairman asked him. “Is everything settled with the Chinese herb farmer?”.
