Chapter 35.1
Lu Bing, sitting next to Huang He, felt uneasy seeing his former teacher chatting so amiably with Yi Feng.
Is knowing a bit about tea really that impressive?
He huffed, interrupting Huang He and Yi Feng’s conversation, “Yi Feng, I heard from Boss Zhao that your computer repair skills are remarkable. Is that really the case?”
Zhao Xingye was taken aback by the interruption. How could someone question another’s abilities so directly?
Wasn’t this plainly disrespectful?
Ah, these university graduates who’ve stayed within the academia surely haven’t been toughened by society!
Absolutely no emotional intelligence!
“Hehe, my little brother Yi’s computer repair skills are indeed reliable. There’s no need to even say it; I’ve always had immense faith in his abilities. Up till now, we’ve never encountered a computer he couldn’t fix,” Zhao Xingye praised Yi Feng, coming to his defense.
Huang He turned to glare subtly at Lu Bing.
Lu Bing looked confused. Wasn’t he just asking a question? What was his teacher doing?
“It’s nothing remarkable, just learning something to get by. There’s always more to learn in the future,” Yi Feng responded calmly.
“Then let me test you. If a computer loses sound due to a motherboard fault, where do you think the problem lies?” Lu Bing persisted with his questioning, undeterred.
Huang He was surprised by the depth of the question. Even students from the Science and Technology University might not fully understand, let alone know how to repair it.
Yi Feng hadn’t even attended university yet. Wasn’t this just making things difficult for him?
“Enough, Lu Bing. Eat more, talk less,” Huang He realized bringing him along was a mistake.
Indeed, someone who hasn’t faced the realities of society...
Even Yi Feng knew better how to speak.
Yi Feng smiled slightly, “No worries, it’s a minor issue. First, check his motherboard capacitors and whether the voltage is normal. If that’s fine, then check the audio chip. Most likely, it’s a case of CP solder points falling off. Just clean and re-solder.”
Lu Bing was stunned, not expecting Yi Feng to actually answer correctly, even detailing the repair method.
Seems he does have some skills!
“Indeed, that’s correct. Well said,” Lu Bing conceded.
Huang He’s face showed realization. Zhao Xingye’s claims about his abilities were indeed no exaggeration!
This young man truly was a genius!
Not only technically sound but also flawless in speech and action. Collaborating with such a clever person was a great idea!
“Computer repair is just a personal hobby of mine. I’m more interested in studying programming tools and languages like C++ and Java.”
“No need, Teacher Huang, smoke mine. After all, cigarettes and liquor go hand in hand. I have some here,” Yi Feng pulled out two packs of Soft Zhonghua from his pocket.
Soft Zhonghua? 85 yuan a pack!
That’s nearly a third of an ordinary person’s monthly salary.
Huang He’s face showed admiration.
This young man is impressive!
Knows how to speak and how to behave!
Well done!
Zhao Xingye was also stunned, not expecting Yi Feng, who never smoked, to carry cigarettes, and to offer Soft Zhonghua no less, totaling 170 yuan.
“Ha! Good, then we’ll smoke little brother Yi’s.”
“Little brother Yi is really generous, carrying Soft Zhonghua with him?” Huang He chuckled.
Yi Feng opened the packet, flicked it skillfully, and two cigarettes popped out, “I’m used to it, but I can’t smoke now. I promised my dad, two more months.”
“Teacher Huang, you guys go ahead.”
Yi Feng stood, offering the cigarette to Huang He.
Huang He, surprised by Yi Feng’s adeptness, which didn’t match someone who hadn’t smoked, laughed.
He took a cigarette, and Yi Feng lit it for him, very considerate.
“Ha, thanks,” Huang He laughed heartily, growing more fond of Yi Feng.
“No problem,” Yi Feng smiled, passing the cigarette to Zhao Xingye.
Zhao Xingye, feeling the drinks and conversation were going well, thought it was time to discuss business.
He lit his cigarette, saying, “We’ve had a great time drinking together!”
“Gathering is fate.”
“As the saying goes, drink together, earn together. Teacher Huang, what do you think about the proposal I mentioned last time?”
“With you on board, our computer repair business won’t lack talent!”
Huang He pondered, took a puff, glanced at Yi Feng, and smiled, “Ah, I can’t help much. With little brother Yi here, the students from the Science and Technology University can learn a lot and earn while working. Why not?”
“As long as little brother Yi is willing to teach, many will be eager to learn!”
