Chapter 23: Torrential Rain (1/2)

“Master, is it done yet?”

As time neared ten o’clock, the young man’s composure became increasingly unsettled.

“Yes.”

Zhao Qingfeng wiped his forehead and turned off Minesweeper. “It should be completely fixed now. Your computer was severely infected. If it weren’t for my master’s guidance, I wouldn’t have been able to handle it today. I even owe him a favor now.”

The young man excitedly clasped his fists and stuffed three thousand yuan into Zhao Qingfeng’s pocket.

He thought for a moment and, seeing there was still time, quickly added, “Master, wait a moment, I’ll bring you another 500 yuan to honor your master.”

Li Kun was astonished. Zhao Qingfeng had clearly been playing Minesweeper just now. But this was great; an extra five hundred yuan was still five hundred yuan.

However, what Li Kun didn’t expect was that Zhao Qingfeng directly refused the young man’s offer. “No need for the money.”

“We’re about the same age, peers.”

“Just consider it making a friend. If you have any inconvenient problems in the future, feel free to contact me.”

“Also, I’ll find you some virus-free websites when I get back and teach you how to browse incognito.”

“Don’t mention it, I often look at them myself.”

“After all, not knowing who Wu Tenglan is, even if one claims to be a hero, is in vain.”

A few simple words immediately bridged the distance between them.

Although the young man, following his family’s teachings, didn’t reveal his name or identity, his eyes clearly showed recognition for Zhao Qingfeng.

After everything was settled, the two typically jumped out of the window.

A soldier outside was waiting to escort them away.

As they left, a black Passat drove in.

Zhao Qingfeng wanted to see who was in the car, but Li Kun, impatient, pulled him aside. “Brother, you’re really something!”

“Your skills are definitely better than those fools in the tech city!”

“Why don’t we specialize in solving these kinds of problems? Three thousand per job, thirty thousand for ten, and three million for a hundred. We’ll be rich in no time!”

These words almost made Zhao Qingfeng laugh out loud.

Apart from worrying about Li Kun’s math skills, he also doubted his business acumen.

After all, this was a one-off event, not something sustainable.

After joking for a bit and trying to see who was in the car, they missed their chance.

“Let’s split the money.”

As they walked, Zhao Qingfeng pulled out fifteen hundred yuan and handed it to Li Kun.

Li Kun held the money in his hand, stunned for a moment, then quickly returned a thousand yuan to Zhao Qingfeng, keeping only five hundred for himself.

“Brother, I only played a small part in this.”

“Without you, I wouldn’t have earned this five hundred.”

“Besides, you have a master to honor, right?”

“My dad always told me not to be greedy. He said that being greedy for small gains leads to big losses.”

Zhao Qingfeng looked at Li Kun seriously.

When Li Kun spoke, his hands were hanging vertically, a sign of honesty from a basic psychological perspective.

His gaze was simple.

Though he had a desire for money, it was suppressed by some emotions.

“Okay, then I’ll accept it.”

“Consider it honoring my master. If there’s a chance in the future, I’ll have my master take care of you.”
