Chapter 54: An Unexpected Encounter (1/2)

The only problem Zhao Qingfeng had was his own benefit.

He had previously requested a payment of 2.5 yuan for each piece of clothing sold.

With twenty thousand pieces, that amounted to about fifty thousand yuan.

This was the low price he set for selling his intellectual effort and intelligence.

After hearing this, Liu Li immediately laughed heartily, “No problem, no problem at all! A commission of 2.5 yuan per piece is really not much for such a great plan! To be honest, Brother Zhao, I highly recognize your ability and even hope you could stay here and work with me towards greater achievements!”

This was her heartfelt thought.

She had never had someone as intellectually agile as Zhao Qingfeng by her side.

Moreover, Zhao Qingfeng was only 18, with unlimited potential. If she could keep him close, the future looked promising.

Zhao Qingfeng gently shook his head.

Sorry, his aspirations lay elsewhere.

He had no desire to engage in the clothing business; it was just a means to accumulate his first bucket of gold.

The internet was his sea of stars.

It was more worthy of conquest than the clothing industry, more interesting, and could earn hundreds to thousands of times more wealth.

“Let’s end it here for today. Everything is just a plan for now. I’ll talk about it after I visit Erlunsi’s headquarters tomorrow.”

Zhao Qingfeng took a sip of liquor, Maotai, smooth on the palate with a bold finish, and a pure and delicious flavor.

He glanced at the bottle and suddenly remembered something he had forgotten, but he didn’t show it.

After a cordial farewell to Liu Li and the others, he stayed in a suite at the International Tower Hotel. After washing up, he called Shen Lingyao’s home.

A day apart felt like three seasons.

For Zhao Qingfeng now, his longing for Shen Lingyao was even more intense.

Shen Lingyao’s voice came through the phone, cheerful but slightly aggrieved.

She hadn’t planned to tell Zhao Qingfeng about the upsetting tutoring experience that afternoon.

But somehow, she couldn’t control herself and said softly with teary eyes, “I’m so angry, that woman was so shameless, just bullying me. I’m going to find another place tomorrow!”

Although she didn’t explicitly state why she tutored, Zhao Qingfeng understood her kind intentions.

Zhao Qingfeng felt both happy and worried.

Happy that Shen Lingyao was always so good to him.

Worried that he shouldn’t let her endure any pain or pressure. He pretended to be angry, “Yaoyao, from now on, you are not allowed to work or anything like that, understand? I can earn money. In the future, I’ll support you. You don’t need to do any work, just make me happy every day and save your energy to massage my back.”

Shen Lingyao’s heart leapt with joy.

Glancing back at Aunt Ding and Shen Kuo, who were watching TV on the sofa, she continued in a low voice, “Brother Qingfeng, what are you talking about? You’re not my anything, why are you ordering me around?”

“You silly pheasant, am I not your feeder? What’s wrong with taking care of you?”

“And you still bully me! o(≧口≦)o”

“Be good, listen to me. Today I negotiated a big deal. Once it’s settled, I can earn tens of thousands of yuan. Just wait until I sort it out tomorrow, then no need to run to the provincial city before the university entrance exams. I’m awesome, right?”

“Don’t brag, okay okay, I’m going to sleep now, we’ll talk when you come back.”

Shen Lingyao dared not argue anymore because she noticed Shen Kuo’s gaze on her, fearing her father would say something inappropriate.

Sure enough.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Kuo immediately called her to sit beside him on the sofa, “Yaoyao, don’t joke around too intimately with Little Feng. You’re both grown up, not kids anymore. By the way, today your Brother Wang Jian sent a repeater from the provincial city. It’s at the door. Take it and use it.”

Shen Lingyao was delighted.

The repeater was great, perfect for Brother Qingfeng or even Zhang Yang to use. It was a valuable product from the Step by Step brand. Wang Jian knew how to give gifts.

She picked up the repeater, smiling as she returned to her room.

Shen Kuo turned to Aunt Ding, “See, money makes a woman happy. A poor couple has nothing but sorrow. Yaoyao will understand when she grows up.”

Aunt Ding pinched Shen Kuo hard, “Old Shen, why are you becoming more and more twisted? Huh? When I married you, were you rich? Can you see the end of a person’s life at a glance? Don’t forget, you used to tell me ‘don’t mock the young for being poor.’ How come now that you’re a father, you’ve forgotten what you once said?”
