Chapter 48: The Petty Boss (2/2)

Zhao Qingfeng suddenly laughed, puzzling both Sister Lan and Little Kun.

Seeing their confusion, he explained lightly, “Sister Lan, Little Kun, do you really think he sincerely wants me to join him?”

“Think about it. As the largest computer seller in Technology City, he definitely wouldn’t want anyone to surpass him.”

“Clearly, our computer repair skills here have now exceeded the average level of his store.”

“Didn’t you hear what he said? He doesn’t want me to do anything else but to focus on training. Don’t you understand the principle of ‘when the rabbit is dead, the dog is cooked’?”

“He just wants me to pass on all my skills. Once that’s done, as the boss, wouldn’t he be able to find any reason to dismiss me?”

Sister Lan and Little Kun suddenly realized the truth.

Sister Lan, no longer underestimating this young man, said, “No wonder Cheng Ming offered such a high salary. I always knew he was more cunning and sly than anyone else. How could he possibly make a loss? He might fire you after just half a month of teaching, and there’s even a chance he won’t pay the agreed amount.”

Zhao Qingfeng smiled without saying a word.

Business people are shrewd, and it’s normal for merchants to seek profits.

After finishing the repair of the other faulty computers, he picked up some flyers as usual, preparing to head to the parking lot for sales.

It was a sunny day.

The sun hung high, and the parking lot was busier than his last visit.

Zhao Qingfeng waited like a hunter, alertly looking for his prey.

He was still calculating the money earned from fixing the faults. Fourteen cases in total, with Little Kun charging 100 yuan each, and with a 50% commission, he had already made 700 yuan today.

If he encountered another customer like Liu Li, earning a thousand today would be no problem.

He had to visit the bank in the afternoon.

Applying for a domain name required a bank card for online payment.

The navigation website definitely needed to be created.

In the next three months, Zhao Qingfeng planned to independently complete several major projects. These were not only initial big profit points but also foundational projects for future expansion in the internet era, especially the plugins and navigation website and…

As he was thinking.

Little Kun suddenly rushed downstairs in a hurry.

Covered in sweat, he grabbed Zhao Qingfeng and urgently said, “Come upstairs, Sister Lan is crying, and I can’t console her!”

Zhao Qingfeng was startled.

He hurried back upstairs.

There he saw Sister Lan sitting at the counter, gently wiping her tears.

“What’s wrong, Sister Lan?”

Zhao Qingfeng put down the flyers and asked in confusion.

“Just now, the upper-level supplier said that our shop is too small and hasn’t been open for long enough. The wholesale prices they previously offered were mistaken, and they might increase the purchase price by thirty percent next Monday…”

Sister Lan handed him a newly delivered price list and glanced towards the direction of the elevator.

Without saying it explicitly.

It was clear that Cheng Ming was behind this.

Zhao Qingfeng hadn’t expected such a big boss like Cheng Ming to be so petty, ready to retaliate at the slightest dissatisfaction, unwilling to allow any other shop to surpass him even slightly.

It seemed there were only two choices now.

Either leave.

Or join.

Otherwise, it would greatly impact Sister Lan’s business.

“What should we do?”

Little Kun asked anxiously from the side.

“I’ll talk to him.”

Zhao Qingfeng glanced towards the bright computer store next to the elevator. Inside the spacious area of several hundred square meters, Cheng Ming lay in a rocking chair, his eyes looking smugly in their direction.
