Based on Zhang Ke's recent observations,
among the newly arrived students, he most disliked Wang Ye!
But the conditions at Wang Dan's home appeared to be the best.
Because he saw that Wang Dan was the only one among the new students who brought a laptop with her.
And it was an IBM THINKPAD T20!
Don't let the inconspicuous black exterior of this laptop fool you; it's pricey. One costs over thirty thousand!
That's thirty thousand in 2001. If they can afford such a laptop, their family must not be doing too badly.
These days, he's been trying to ingratiate himself with Wang Dan. This young girl is rather naive and it didn't take Zhang Ke long to figure out her family situation.
It turns out Wang Dan's father is a real power wielder in a certain city!
Such a family, while it may not be enormously wealthy (or perhaps they just don't flaunt their wealth), if he can forge ties with them, he could cut decades from his struggle to get ahead.
