Chapter 47: The Savior Arrives (2/2)

“Ha, there’s such good news?”

Zhao Qingfeng took the water Sister Lan handed to him and walked over to the repair desk.

“Good news?”

Sister Lan, anxious, pinched Zhao Qingfeng’s arm. “Little Feng, Little Kun took on jobs behind my back, all of them tricky cases. I’m worried this might ruin our shop’s reputation. Besides, I wanted you to focus on sales, not repairing computers. It’s too time-consuming.”

Sister Lan was right.

Repairing computers with complex issues was not simple. Often, it required a process of elimination to identify the fault.

For a regular computer repair technician.

It might take a whole day to fix one computer.

But for Zhao Qingfeng, it was like a senior professor with years of medical experience treating minor ailments like colds, fevers, and headaches. The computer’s hardware and software were like his nimble fingers; he could manipulate them however he wanted, making it all seem too easy.

He immediately started repairing them.

At the same time, he was teaching Little Kun.

“This one has a network connection issue. Create a new shortcut by right-clicking on the blank space, and enter ‘shsockreset’ in the D interface to reset the network configuration.”

“This frequent crashing and rebooting issue is not a virus, so an antivirus won’t help. First, check the disk space, then check for errors in the commands of the ‘config.sys’ and ‘Autoexec.bat’ files.”

“Look, this is a parameter issue. There’s a problem with the buffer in the ‘config.sys’ file. Just modify it, and it’ll be fine.”

“And these three computers with blue screens, you first need to learn to analyze the blue screen codes. For example, this 0x0000000D4 is a hardware issue, and another one, 0x0000007B, is a software issue. This is the simplest way to determine the problem.”

In 2001, Technology City was a mixed bag with few experts.

The skill level of computer repair technicians varied greatly, most of them learning on the job without systematic training.

Typically.

The simplest solutions were brutally reinstalling the system or replacing hardware.

But the computers Little Kun had taken in contained important data, not allowing for such heavy-handed repairs.

Listening to Zhao Qingfeng’s logical explanations, Sister Lan’s eyes widened in amazement.

This kid really was professional…

When Little Kun had praised him before, Sister Lan had been skeptical.

But now it seemed.

Her small shop had struck gold. If things continued like this, wouldn’t her store soon become the most prestigious small company in Technology City?

Sister Lan’s heart swelled with ambition, and she bought Zhao Qingfeng another drink. “Little Feng, I’ve decided. After your university entrance exam, come back during the summer vacation to continue with sales and repairs. Many students buy computers during the summer. We’ll do more promotions, and when the shop expands, I won’t let you down.”

Zhao Qingfeng threw cold water on her plans, “Sister Lan, actually, I planned to quit after saving enough money to buy a computer.”

Sister Lan was about to ask why.

Just then, two people walked into the store.

One of them, a middle-aged man, greeted Sister Lan arrogantly and then sat down next to Zhao Qingfeng with a younger man, watching him repair the computer.

He seemed thoughtful, as if contemplating something.
