Reborn in 2000: Reuniting with the School Belle

Chapter 35.2

Huang He’s words meant that he had no issues himself; it mainly depended on Yi Feng’s willingness. If Yi Feng was willing, someone from his side would definitely go over to learn from him.

His purpose in attending this meal was also to see if Yi Feng had the level and ability required.

After the meal, he believed that Yi Feng was definitely a core figure in the computer repair business, indispensable.

In both skills and interpersonal relations, Yi Feng’s performance was impeccable!

Now, Huang He kicked the ball back to Zhao Xingye.

There was a moment of silence at the dining table.

The three people at the table had different thoughts.

Zhao Xingye was stunned for a moment but quickly grasped Huang He’s intention and said to Yi Feng, “Brother Yi, with Teacher Huang’s resources joining, our business is surely secure!”

“The computer repair market will definitely have a very high demand in the future. If we train more talents and open repair shops all over the city, making a fortune every day is not an exaggeration!”

“As for the matter of money, as long as you agree, everything can be discussed.”

“This is not a problem at all.”

After saying this, he stared intently at Yi Feng, wanting to see his reaction.

However, Yi Feng remained calm, not speaking immediately. After a moment, he smiled and said, “Boss Zhao really has a knack for making money, I also think this business is doable…”

Zhao Xingye’s face lit up with joy. Had this young man finally agreed?

But his smile froze the next moment.

“However, I still have exams, and after the exams, I need to go to university. Let’s talk about this later.”

“A bunch of things, really hard to manage.” Yi Feng made up an excuse, and it was an irrefutable one.

Zhao Xingye was anxious at heart, about to suggest Yi Feng delay university to make money first, but the words were swallowed before they could be spoken.

Persuading someone not to attend university, that’s really lacking emotional intelligence.

“Ah, Brother Yi, you can do it in your spare time, it won’t be a problem,” Zhao Xingye said somewhat anxiously.

Yi Feng’s expression turned colder, “Boss Zhao really knows how to joke, ha.”

He treated Zhao Xingye’s words as a joke, giving him a way out.

Zhao Xingye wanted to say something, but seeing Yi Feng’s expression, he could only hold back his words in frustration.

Huang He, watching from the side, saw everything clearly and roughly understood Yi Feng’s attitude towards Zhao Xingye, his eyes showing appreciation.

This young man was not swayed by such a big temptation; such determination is not something ordinary people possess!

If it were someone else, hearing the big picture Zhao Xingye painted, they would have been boiling with enthusiasm and immediately agreed to partner in the business.

But such people are often the most likely to fail.

Yi Feng is quite special!

“Come on, Boss Zhao, business matters cannot be rushed. Haste does not bring success; let’s take it slow.”

“Let’s drink for now.” Huang He smoothed things over, raising his glass in invitation.

The dinner lasted from six in the evening until nine at night, and everyone was nearly drunk before they dispersed.

Zhao Xingye went outside to settle the bill.

Seeing him gone, Huang He poured a cup of tea for Yi Feng and smiled, “I see Brother Yi as someone who will accomplish great things in the future, surely achieving a great career.”

“Where, where, I still need Teacher Huang’s care,” Yi Feng replied with a cupped fist gesture.

The two, one older and one younger, exchanged a knowing smile, understanding each other.

“Today, I felt a special connection with Brother Yi. This is my business card, with my phone number on it. We must keep in touch and exchange ideas more often,” Huang He took the initiative to hand out his business card.

He felt that this young man had limitless potential. If such a talent couldn’t succeed, then who could?

Thus, he intended to foster a relationship.

Yi Feng accepted the business card with both hands, looked at it, and solemnly put it in his pocket, smiling, “Certainly, there’s a lot I don’t understand, and I should indeed seek more advice from Teacher Huang.”

Huang He squinted, a glint in his eyes, “Here, let’s replace wine with tea. Meeting is fate; to our friendship, let’s have a drink.”

Yi Feng raised his glass, and the two drank it all in one go.

It was a while before Zhao Xingye came back, and after exchanging pleasantries about meeting again another day, they said goodbye and left.

Zhao Xingye wanted to call a taxi for Yi Feng to go home, but Yi Feng declined.

Yi Feng and Wang Tie took a taxi back to Zhao Xingye’s shop to pick up their bicycles.

Late at night, it was very quiet around, no cars on the road, few pedestrians, and the dim streetlights lit up two bicycles riding side by side.

“Brother Feng, I can see that Zhao was really eager to invite you to join him tonight.”

“It seems this old boy doesn’t want to miss this money-making opportunity!”

“Are we still going to work with him?” Wang Tie asked worriedly, afraid it would be difficult to withdraw later.

Yi Feng chuckled, “Work, why not? Zhao and I are just using each other, a mutual need, no need to worry about anything.”

“Wang Tie, let me tell you something. Don’t think that just because someone calls you brother over drinks and talks about brotherhood, they really consider you a brother. Maybe they just want to use you.”

“Zhao inviting me to join is also to use me to bring people to develop the repair business.”

“But you know, if I really joined him in doing this, what would likely be the outcome?”

Wang Tie was startled and asked, “Brother fFeng, what would it be?”

Yi Feng calmly said, “Once I’ve trained those college students to handle the business, he would immediately kick me out.”

“Believe me, Zhao Xingye is capable of doing such a thing.”

“Because by then, my skills would no longer be irreplaceable, and if he kicks me out, he could keep all the profits without having to share, which could be hundreds of thousands or even millions in benefits.”

“In the face of such huge benefits, what does conscience count for? Moreover, he didn’t have much conscience to begin with.”

Wang Tie, upon hearing this, was shocked and said, “Yeah, then we really shouldn’t cooperate with him!”

Yi Feng chuckled, “So, we’ll do it ourselves. Tonight was quite fruitful; we used Zhao Xingye’s setup to meet Teacher Huang from Guangxi University.”

“Huang He used to be a teacher and now works in the employment office. Being in that position means he has a significant network. Maintaining a relationship with him will be very beneficial for us in the future.”

Wang Tie turned his head to look at Yi Feng in astonishment; at that moment, he felt Yi Feng was like a cunning fox!

Normally, Brother Feng was very approachable, making people feel close.

But once it came to serious business, when Brother Feng got serious, he seemed like a different person, becoming wiser and more decisive, with meticulous thoughts.

Wang Tie secretly admired him to the extreme; Brother Feng is my idol from now on!

The two rode back to the staff dormitory area, arriving close to ten o’clock.

At the stairwell, Yi Feng parked the bike.

The night wind had sobered him up quite a bit, but he still smelled his clothes.

“Wang Tie, do I still smell like alcohol?”

Wang Tie leaned in a bit closer, sniffed, and said, “The alcohol smell is strong, and there’s also a strong smell of smoke.”

Yi Feng slapped his forehead, feeling somewhat helpless.

If he returned like this, his mother would definitely smell it when she opened the door, leading to a storm of criticism, and even his father might take out the belt for a round of whipping.

He wouldn’t be able to explain himself.

What to do?

Yi Feng’s mind raced, then suddenly remembered that Gu Muxi’s parents hadn’t returned yet and wouldn’t be home until tomorrow afternoon.

Perhaps… he could spend the night at Gu Muxi’s place?
