Chapter 103: Foreboding Shadows (2/2)

“My dad said,”

“once we secure the Nike dealership, we’ll earn at least 300,000 a year!”

“Add that to the profits from Xtep, and 500,000 a year is no problem!”

“500,000, for our family, it’s just a year’s work.”

“But for some people, they might never earn that in their lifetime!”

After he finished, he looked at Zhao Qingfeng, expecting to see him upset.

To his surprise, Zhao Qingfeng wasn’t angry but instead smiled, his lips curling up in disdain as if watching a clown perform.

“Keep pretending, you poor loser, always pretending to be something you’re not!”

Zhang Wang was nearly furious and decided to ignore Zhao Qingfeng, pulling Zhang Wuping to go make their wish.

“Wait!”

Zhao Qingfeng suddenly stopped them, “If I heard correctly just now, you said you’re going to make a wish to secure the Nike dealership, right?”

“Don’t bother.”

“It’s useless.”

“I can read faces.”

“I see that both of you have darkened foreheads today, it seems like a major disaster is about to strike soon.”

“So,”

“you better not think about the Nike dealership.”

“It’s best to think about how to maintain your current business, lest you end up ruined and can’t even earn a measly 200,000.”

His words hit them like an atomic bomb.

People pray to the gods for smooth sailing; who wants to hear such ominous talk?

Especially coming from Zhao Qingfeng.

Zhang Wang was furious and raised his hand to strike, but Zhao Qingfeng didn’t move, instead, he brought his hands together, bowed deeply towards the temple, and said, “Amitabha, Buddha, please open your eyes and see, someone is causing trouble at your doorstep, is this acceptable?”

His words completely disarmed Zhang Wang.

“Smart kid, I wasn’t planning on dealing with you today, but you dare to provoke me! Just you wait, once I’m free, I’ll make sure you regret it!”

After speaking, Zhang Wang also bowed towards the temple before angrily dragging Zhang Wuping into the temple.

Shen Lingyao was extremely nervous, clutching Zhao Qingfeng’s sleeve and said worriedly, “Brother Qingfeng, what are you doing provoking them? The matter was already over, couldn’t we have just ignored them?”

Ignore them?

It wasn’t that simple.

For those who were good to him, he would repay them abundantly.

For those who had wronged him, he showed no mercy.

But he wasn’t in a hurry. The prime of youth was upon him, the sun was warm, and having such a lovely person by his side, it was better for time to pass even more slowly.

“Lingyao, you cooperated with me just now, does that mean you want to be my wife?”

“Ha? Not at all, I was just joining you to annoy him, what are you thinking!”

“Phew, that’s good, you scared me. I thought you really wanted to marry me, I don’t want you, silly girl, ha ha ha!”

“I don’t want you to marry me either! Squat down, carry me down the mountain, today I’ll make sure you’re exhausted!”

…

The next morning,

Zhao Qingfeng came out of Tiancong Internet Café and headed straight for school.

After a night of hard work, he had advanced the progress of the navigation website to 50%.

Chun Tao’er had changed a lot these past few days.

Last night, Zhao Qingfeng also bought her some books about the customs and cultures of different places, using Old Shen’s method of wanting Shen Lingyao to see the world, to completely change her perspective.

The outside world is fascinating.

Chun Tao’er was very eager to experience it.

“Class is starting!”

Inside the classroom,

With Teacher Yan’s command, the tense review for the university entrance examination, three weeks before the test, officially began.

“This week, everyone… cough cough… study hard.”

“Next week is the third mock exam.”

“If anyone performs poorly, don’t blame me for being harsh!”

“Cough cough…”
