Chapter 21: The Embarrassing Question (1/2)
Li Kun, commonly known as Little Kun.
Seeing Zhao Qingfeng’s impressive performance today, not only treating him to lunch, but also helping him with a difficult computer repair, Little Kun decided to properly repay this newly acquainted brother.
“What good opportunity?”
After sending Sister Lan away, Zhao Qingfeng had planned to find a small hotel to stay in.
“Can you keep a secret?”
Little Kun suddenly became serious and slightly nervous.
“Of course.”
Zhao Qingfeng was adept at keeping secrets, especially since Little Kun, an ordinary person, couldn’t have any major secrets.
Upon Zhao Qingfeng’s agreement, Little Kun immediately shared the details.
That morning, a mysterious person had added Little Kun on QQ, asking if he could come over to repair a computer.
Little Kun, used to such requests, readily agreed.
After all, the store’s sign had both the repair phone number and QQ number, and it was common for customers to add QQ to ask questions.
But what Little Kun didn’t expect was.
This mysterious person made two extremely stringent demands.
First, the repair had to be done between 9:30 and 10:00 pm by entering through the second-floor rear window of their house, without being detected.
Second, the system couldn’t be reinstalled; all the data on the computer had to be retained, preferably restoring the interface to how it was three days ago.
Of course.
The payment was generous, a full 3,000 yuan.
This was equivalent to more than two months’ salary of a provincial city worker. Little Kun was excited and really wanted to take the job, but considering his limited skills and even struggling with basic blue screen issues, he couldn’t make up his mind.
“He also said if I go but can’t fix it, he will definitely cause trouble for me.”
“So, I’ve been very hesitant.”
“But I don’t want to tell anyone else about this. There are people in the mall who might be able to fix it, but knowing them, even if it’s fixed, I might only get two or three hundred yuan. I’m not satisfied with that⦔
So that was it.
Zhao Qingfeng, after hearing this, immediately perked up.
What he wanted was exactly what had come his way!
Still, he needed to probe further.
Such strange and strict requirements, it wasn’t something involving national information security, government, or other dangerous criminal activities, was it?
If he ended up charged with espionage, it would be more trouble than it’s worth.
Little Kun locked the cabinet door and said, “I don’t know either, but it shouldn’t be a big problem. In a word, can you handle it? If you can, let’s give it a try; if not, forget it.”
Zhao Qingfeng pondered.
With his years of accumulated skill level, unless it was an especially rare and difficult issue, he should not make any mistakes.
This was 3,000 yuan.
After buying the MP3 player, there would still be a surplus, taking him a step closer to buying a computer and setting up his own small studio.
“Let’s do it!”
Zhao Qingfeng made up his mind.
“Deal!”
Little Kun was overjoyed. Under Zhao Qingfeng’s guidance, he quickly prepared a bag of potentially needed components and confirmed the meeting time through QQ. Then the two found a small restaurant and casually ate dinner.
During the meal.
Zhao Qingfeng found a phone booth to call Shen Lingyao, “Yaoyao, wait for me tomorrow. I will definitely return in the evening and give you a big surprise!”
“What kind of surprise Ο(>Ο<*)?”
“A surprise can’t be revealed in advance, you little silly pig. Just wait for it.”
“You haven’t gone to see that girl, have you? If I find out you’re dating early and it affects your studies, I’ll ignore you~ Alright, alright, I’ll wait for you. Don’t be late, or I’ll pinch you!”
“Don’t worry, I always keep my promises. I’ll be home tomorrow night, even if it rains knives from the sky.”
