Chapter 172: Grandma Wants to Hold Her Great-Grandson! (Part 2)

Beside him, Shen Lingyao was also smiling. In the photo, she had her hair cut in a bob, wore a white tank top, her small arms raised high, and her little head tilted to one side. The most striking thing was her smile with missing front teeth.

“So cute…”

Zhao Qingfeng chuckled goofily, unable to help himself, and gently kissed the photo.

“President Zhao!”

At the same time.

Two sales representatives who had been running around internet cafes in the provincial city for a day entered the company with beaming smiles.

Zhao Qingfeng put away the photo and listened attentively to their report.

Good news came.

After a day’s hard work, their achievements far exceeded expectations. In just one day, seven internet cafes in the provincial city had purchased the Lingfeng Net Management System.

A quick calculation.

Considering the various versions’ prices combined, Lingfeng Technology earned over thirty thousand in just one day.

An income of over thirty thousand in one day.

In 2001, this was enough to outshine over 80% of small and medium-sized companies.

Zhao Qingfeng expected it to do well, but not this well.

After praising the two employees, he waited a few more hours until the evening when good news from the other sales representatives also arrived.

Although traveling to other cities took some time and effort.

After an afternoon of sales, the total number of sign-ups from the other eight sales representatives reached thirteen.

Adding it all up, the total income for the day exceeded one hundred thousand.

This was a good start.

In 2001, there were nearly 9,000 internet cafes nationwide.

With such a vast market, Zhao Qingfeng immediately decided to have Marina recruit more sales representatives the next day. After training, they would act as agents, especially targeting the developed areas of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, to recruit other small offline agents and rapidly expand the reach of the internet cafe management system nationwide.

After Marina agreed, Cai Shuwen asked whether to start hijacking IE homepages through the backend for navigation website promotion but was denied by Zhao Qingfeng.

Good things take time.

At least wait until the net management system and the Legend of Mir 2 cheat software are widespread before making a big move, to avoid being noticed by hao123 or competitors.

Sneaky growth.

No rush in sharpening the axe.

“Let’s drink!”

Zhao Qingfeng was never a stingy boss.

Celebrating the successful start, he gave each employee a generous red envelope, at least five hundred yuan each.

The employees were thrilled.

Zhao Qingfeng also drank quite a bit.

Until the next morning.

When he was woken up by Shen Lingyao tugging on his ear in the hotel room they had booked, he quickly tucked away the childhood photo he had been holding to his chest.

“Why are you sleeping with our photo?”

Shen Lingyao, blushing, put down the fried beans and asked.

“Last night I drank too much and couldn’t sleep, so I looked at your photo. I got so scared I passed out. Lingyao, don’t you think I was cute when I was a kid?”

Zhao Qingfeng took out the photo again, smugly raising his eyebrows.

Cute?

Indeed, his ‘Brother Qingfeng’ was irresistibly cute from a young age.

But Shen Lingyao only muttered in her heart, not voicing it out. She grabbed a handful of fried beans and gently stuffed them into his mouth, “Try it, see if Grandma’s skills have improved!”

Crunchy.

Burnt taste.

Hard and slightly bitter.

Both the appearance and taste were off by a mile.

Yet.

Why did it taste so sweet in his mouth?

“Are these not pills from the Supreme Old Lord’s pill furnace? So hard!”

“Then why are you grabbing them so eagerly?”

“I didn’t want to hurt Grandma’s feelings. She worked hard to grow these beans. It would be a waste not to eat them.”

“(?′?`?) You know what’s good for you. Hey, Brother Qingfeng, give me back my swimsuit, it’s mine. Why are you putting it on your head!”
