Chapter 100
After the meeting, Yi Feng got back to work. He counted eight computer hosts piled up behind the counter still awaiting repair, predicting a busy night ahead.
Just keep working, as long as it doesn’t kill you, work to death!
Yi Feng rolled up his sleeves and dove into the repair booth.
...
As he busied himself, time flew by unnoticed until he emerged from the booth to find darkness had already enveloped the outside.
“What time is it now?” Yi Feng stretched his sore arms. Sitting down to work on these precise computer devices required finesse, taxing both the hands and eyes.
“It’s 8 PM, Brother Feng,” Han Ping’an replied.
“My, how time flies.”
“It’s getting late; I’ll head back first. Where’s Wang Tie?” Yi Feng looked around but didn’t see Wang Tie.
“Wang Tie said he had some errands to run and has already left, looked like he was going on a date,” Han Ping’an speculated after a moment.
Luo Cheng laughed, well, Wang Tie now had a girlfriend.
“Alright, then I’ll head back on my own. Ping’an, you tidy up later and head back too.”
“Brother Feng, I’ll clean up and then leave.”
“Here’s today’s revenue ledger for you to review,” Han Ping’an handed over the ledger.
Yi Brother browsed through it, nodding in satisfaction, “Not bad, a profit of forty-five thousand even on a non-weekend day. This performance is quite good.”
Reviewing the sold parts and complete units, Yi Feng knew it was time to restock soon.
After leaving the shop, Yi Feng rode his bicycle home alone.
On the way, the occasional car zoomed past him, and he couldn’t help feeling a bit envious.Discover new chapters at novelhall.com
Eventually, he’d need to get a car for business meetings; showing up without one wouldn’t do.
Sometimes, a car represents a businessman’s face. The more luxurious the car, the stronger the financial strength it implies, enhancing others’ trust in you.
A car isn’t just a product; it carries significant social implications.
But... he’d need to sign up for driving lessons first.
Unaware of the time, he arrived home at nine o’clock, with his parents already retired to their rooms. He moved quietly, careful not to disturb his mother’s rest.
...
The next morning, surprisingly, Yi Feng wasn’t woken up by the “Gu Muxi alarm clock” but by laughter and conversation outside his room.
“It’d be putting it to good use, otherwise, it’s just going to waste.”
Yi Jianbing frowned slightly, “That’s not really feasible. I promised my father not to sell the ancestral home and land.”
“Ah, little brother, letting it go to waste isn’t good either. I’ll give you 800 per acre; what do you say?” Yi Qiaoxiu persisted.
“Big sister, that really won’t work. It’s not about the money. The family land is our lifeline; I can’t sell it,” Yi Jianbing stated firmly.
Yi Qiaoxiu’s expression cooled upon hearing this.
Turning, she spotted Yi Feng and beckoned, “Little Feng, come here.”
Curious about her intentions, Yi Feng approached and sat down.
“What’s up, big aunt?”
“Today should be when the college entrance exam results come out. How did you do in practice tests? Confident about getting into college?”
“Even a vocational college is fine.”
Yi Feng replied noncommittally, “It went okay.”
Yi Qiaoxiu scoffed, “Okay? That won’t do.”
“If you don’t get into college, you’ll suffer for being uneducated.”
The third aunt chimed in, “Look at your cousin, your big aunt’s son. He was in the top twenty of his grade in the mock exams!”
“Seems he even surpassed last year’s college entrance score, right?”
The young man adjusted his glasses and smiled, “Yes, by 10 points. Getting into college... shouldn’t be a problem, theoretically.”
“Haha, little Shui is really something, born to study. Sister, you’re lucky!”
Yi Qiaoxiu waved off the compliments with a feigned humble laugh, her pride evident. She then glanced smugly at Yi Feng.
Suddenly, her phone rang. After answering excitedly, she turned to the young man, exclaiming,
“Son, your college entrance exam score is out!”
“508 points, above the college entrance threshold!”
The third aunt quickly flattered, “Congratulations, big sister! I knew little Shui was meant for great things.”
“Little Feng, you should learn from your cousin!”
