Reborn in 2000: Reuniting with the School Belle

Chapter 44.2

Yi Feng glanced at him and said calmly, “There’s no need for next time. I have my own way of operating. If you pack up the tools, it will be more troublesome for me to find them again.”

“Before starting work, you have to understand that efficiency comes first. Don’t waste time looking for tools.”

Gao Hongxing’s face changed after being reprimanded, looking somewhat ugly, but soon, he could only give a dry laugh, “Yes, yes, Brother Yi, I understand now.”

Yi Feng just smiled and said no more.

Sometimes, it’s necessary to take the initiative in conversation, not to be timid just because the other person is older.

Yi Feng knew that the other person was just an apprentice and needed to put some pressure on him, so he wouldn’t underestimate himself.

“Help me carry the mainframe over.” Yi Feng began to direct him to work.

Zhao Xingyue wanted him to be an assistant and learn something, but Yi Feng didn’t care.

This craft is not easy to learn by watching from the sidelines without hands-on explanation and guidance.

“Uh, okay.” Gao Hongxing turned to carry the mainframe over, but his expression was a bit ugly, though he tried not to make it too obvious.

Yi Feng didn’t bother to look at his expression, busying himself with dismantling and repairing the machine on his own.

While Gao Hongxing watched seriously from the side, at the beginning, he didn’t dare to ask too much, afraid of upsetting Yi Feng.

If he wanted to learn, he had to ask Yi Feng. If Yi Feng got upset, he really wouldn’t learn anything.

Being an apprentice assistant is like this; even if he was annoyed by Yi Feng, he still had to be polite on the surface.

Zhao Xingye sat on the other side of the shop, watching all this with a smug smile on his lips.

He secretly speculated that Gao Hongxing, being a graduate of a prestigious university and majoring in computer science, should learn quickly, right?

As long as Gao Hongxing could learn half of Yi Feng’s skills, not to say how great, but enough to replace Yi Feng’s position.

Then, he would raise Gao Hongxing’s salary, let him train others, and his computer repair business would take off!

Hehe, kid Yi, you refused to cooperate with me, I won’t include you in the future.

Time passed quickly, and it was six o’clock in the afternoon.

Yi Feng finished repairing five computers on time, tested each one, and delivered them to the customers.

The five customers, seeing their computers were fixed, all promptly paid Yi Feng for the repairs.

After deducting Zhao Xingye’s commission, Yi Feng still earned 3200 yuan for the day.

Yi Feng counted the money and happily tucked it into his pocket.

“Boss Zhao, I’ve finished today’s work, so I’ll be leaving now,” Yi Feng greeted Zhao Xingye.

“Ah, you’re leaving now? How about we have dinner together later?” Zhao Xingye politely tried to keep him.

Yi Feng declined, “No, thank you. It’s a friend’s birthday today, I need to go back. Maybe next time, definitely next time.”

“Well, okay, then I won’t keep you. Take care,” Zhao Xingye saw Yi Feng off the store.

After watching Yi Feng walk away, he snorted and turned back into the shop.

“Little Gao, how about it? Did you manage to learn something by watching today?” Zhao Xingye asked Gao Hongxing with a smile.

Gao Hongxing was startled; he hadn’t really learned anything that afternoon. He just watched, didn’t ask, and only roughly knew what was being repaired, but he still didn’t understand how.

But he didn’t want to appear dumb in front of Zhao Xingye, especially since he was a graduate of a prestigious university. Admitting he didn’t understand could jeopardize this high-paying job.

So, he gave a dry laugh and said bravely, “It’s okay, doesn’t seem too hard, I could learn some things.”

Hearing this, Zhao Xingye was delighted, patted his shoulder, and encouraged, “Good, very good. Work hard, and once you’ve learned, I won’t treat you poorly.”
