Chapter 49: I Will Repay You in the Future (2/2)

“Brother Cheng, Sister Lan just received a notice about a price increase policy from the upper-level distributor. I heard from Sister Lan that you have been deeply involved in Technology City for many years and must have connections with the higher-ups. Could you possibly help Sister Lan?” Zhao Qingfeng asked calmly.

“Little brother, are you underestimating me? It’s not just a matter of saying a word, but as long as I speak up, it can almost certainly be resolved!” Cheng Ming said, barely concealing his arrogance.

“Thank you, Brother Cheng. I will not forget this favor. If I have the chance in the future, I, Zhao Qingfeng, will definitely repay you,” Zhao Qingfeng said sincerely.

After Zhao Qingfeng finished speaking, Cheng Ming immediately promised to help, appearing very generous.

Zhao Qingfeng thanked him and returned to Dazhong Computer to say goodbye to Sister Lan and Little Kun.

Sister Lan felt a mix of emotions. Such a good young man was being driven away. She looked at Little Kun and thought they should not have taken on such difficult repair cases. Now they had been outmaneuvered by Cheng Ming.

Little Kun also didn’t want Zhao Qingfeng to leave; he felt they hadn’t spent enough time together.

But it was clear Zhao Qingfeng could no longer stay in Technology City. Even if he managed to stay, it would take a lot of effort, and there wasn’t enough time.

Sister Lan sighed, “Little Feng, it’s my fault for not considering this. What are you going to do now? You haven’t saved enough for your computer. Here’s what we’ll do: you pick out a set for yourself, take it home, and pay me back when you have the money.”

Zhao Qingfeng declined.

Whether choosing a computer or components, his needs would cost at least fifteen thousand yuan.

Moreover, Sister Lan didn’t have the high-end components he wanted, and taking them directly would mean asking her to pay in advance.

He had heard from Little Kun that Sister Lan’s finances were tight recently.

He immediately refused Sister Lan’s offer, jokingly saying, “Sister Lan, I appreciate the thought. Just give me a small discount when I have enough money.”

Sister Lan tried to persuade him several more times, speaking warmly.

Zhao Qingfeng still declined, and when Sister Lan asked about his next plans, he said, “Last week when I sold the computer, that Sister Liu Li gave me her business card. Now that I can’t stay in Technology City, I plan to see if she has any opportunities to make money.”

Sister Lan looked at the card, “Liu Li? Isn’t that a clothing factory? That doesn’t match your expertise…”

Zhao Qingfeng humbly nodded, “It doesn’t, but it doesn’t matter. Selling clothes and selling computers are both sales. With a little learning, it shouldn’t be too hard. Sister Lan, remember my QQ number. If there’s any problem in the shop, you can message me online, and I’ll help you as soon as I see it.”

Sister Lan, being emotional, felt very reluctant to let him go.

She glared resentfully at Cheng Ming in the distance and sighed deeply before personally escorting Zhao Qingfeng downstairs.

Zhao Qingfeng went to a phone booth to contact Liu Li.

Sister Lan returned upstairs to continue running her small shop.

Just when it seemed everything was over.

Cheng Ming swaggered over again, sitting down arrogantly and said, “Little Lan, I just called the distributor. Your case is difficult to handle. There’s a policy for shops smaller than 60 square meters and open less than three months to be restricted in this manner. You’re the first pilot case.”

Sister Lan was stunned, “What does that mean… How can anyone survive like this…”

Cheng Ming waved his hand, “What’s the rush? When I say it’s difficult, it doesn’t mean impossible. Come here, let me tell you.”

It was unclear what he whispered in Sister Lan’s ear, but her face turned red with anger and embarrassment, “If we have to drink, Little Kun has to accompany me, or I won’t go.”

Cheng Ming smirked, his eyes narrowing, “Alright, bring Little Kun this time. But if there’s another issue in the future, it’s just you and me.”

…………………

Around noon.

The front of Technology City was bustling with activity.

Zhao Qingfeng first called Shen Lingyao from the phone booth, but no one answered.

Then he dialed the company number on Liu Li’s business card.

After introducing himself, Liu Li sighed, “I remember you. If you had come yesterday, I could have arranged something for you, but not now. I’ve run into big trouble today and can’t even take care of myself, let’s talk another time.”

Before she could hang up, Zhao Qingfeng quickly said, “Sister Liu, if you don’t mind, can you tell me what the trouble is? Maybe I can help solve it.”

Liu Li paused, then gave a wry smile, “You can come over first, and we’ll talk then.”
