Chapter 146
Back at the company, Yi Feng lay on the sofa in his office to rest, feeling a bit dizzy from the alcohol.
“Wang Tie handed him a cigarette, asking, “Brother Feng, are we really going to take down that post as he said?”
Yi Feng took the cigarette, sat up, and leaned back on the sofa, “Of course, the goal has basically been achieved, so it’s okay to take it down.”
“Click.”
Yi Feng lit the cigarette and calmly said, “Next, we’ll just have to wait for Feng Ze’s cooperation.”
“The trap has been set, just waiting for Shengde Company to step into it.”
“Brother Feng, will that old guy really fall for it?” Wang Tie took a puff of his cigarette, asking doubtfully.
“Of course, Shengde Company has already lost most of its business, guess what they want to do next?” Yi Feng sneered. “Of course, they’ll want to quickly find business, find new partners!” Wang Tie said.
“Then they will fall into the trap. Once people are in a hurry, they tend to lack rationality, especially that Nie Xin kid, definitely eager to make amends,” Yi Feng smiled.
Wang Tie, remembering the trap plan Yi Feng had mentioned, finally understood he was three steps ahead!
“Hehe, Brother Feng is awesome!” Wang Tie gave a thumbs up in admiration.
Yi Feng blew a smoke ring, “Wang Tie, make sure to speed up the work on the new store, especially the one next to Zhao Xingye, and open it as soon as possible.”
“No problem, Brother Feng, the renovation team has already started simultaneously. According to the progress, our five new stores should be able to open in about three weeks,” Wang Tie nodded.
“That’s good, keep a close eye on it,” Yi Feng put out the cigarette and lay down on the sofa to rest.
Unknowingly, he drifted off to sleep amidst the dizziness.
When he woke up again, it was already dark outside.
“Shit!”
Yi Feng felt a throbbing headache, rubbed his temples, and noticed that the office was dark, but the lights outside were on.
He picked up his phone and saw three missed calls from Gu Muxi’s family, and it was already 7 p.m.
He hadn’t expected to sleep for so long.
Yi Feng got up from the sofa, opened the door, and saw Wang Tie and Han Ping’an in the company.
“Hmm? Ping’an, you didn’t rest at home today? Why are you here too?” Yi Feng asked in surprise.
“Brother Feng, I didn’t have much to do at home, so I came to deal with the internet cafe’s network manager recruitment,” Han Ping’an smiled.
“You, always working hard. You should spend more time playing with Nannan. Has Nannan’s school been decided?” Yi Feng walked over and asked.
“It’s decided, thanks to Brother Feng’s introduction, she can go to Ziqiang Elementary School to handle the procedures next week,” Han Ping’an expressed his gratitude.
Nannan’s school was arranged by Yi Feng, a private primary school with expensive tuition, which Yi Feng sponsored.
For Yi Feng, Han Ping’an was filled with gratitude, as Yi Feng changed his life, otherwise, he and Nannan might still be wandering around, picking up trash.
It was like being reborn!
Therefore, Han Ping’an put one hundred and twenty percent effort into all work arrangements by Yi Feng.
“That’s good, Nannan can study peacefully, and you can work with peace of mind,” Yi Feng said warmly.
At this moment, Yi Feng checked his phone again for messages, and indeed, the company’s bank account had received the 600,000 yuan compensation from Shengde Company!
“Your China Bank card ending in 6688 has conducted a transfer of 600,000 yuan on July 30, with a balance of 1,154,000 yuan…”
Seeing the amount in the account, Yi Feng’s face lit up with a smile.
A net gain of 600,000 yuan!
In just over a month, the company’s accounts had reached over a million yuan!
Yi Feng was filled with confidence for the future, being a millionaire was quite an achievement in the current context.
Currently, Xifeng Company’s main revenue came from Xifeng Electronics, with three main income sources: the fastest-growing online parts and whole machine sales, offline computer repair services, and offline parts and whole machine sales, with a monthly gross profit of about 800,000 yuan. After deducting labor, rent, materials, taxes, and other operating costs, the net profit could reach about 500,000 yuan per month.
Initially, the revenue was higher due to marketing activities, and though it decreased a bit after the activities, it stabilized. However, Xi Feng Electronics still had two areas with growth potential.
The first was the online platform, which, after the official promotion of 361 Computer Security Manager, would experience a surge through traffic. The second was expanding offline stores, including repair services, parts, and whole machine sales.
Yi Feng recognized that the next 20 years would be a golden period for computer popularization and renewal, especially the next five years, when the market demand for computers and parts would surge!
With internet cafes becoming widespread and computers entering millions of homes, Da Xia had hundreds of millions of potential computer users!
“Brother Feng, what’s making you smile so happily? Share it so I can be happy too,” Wang Tie asked curiously.
“The compensation from Shengde Company has been received, a full 600,000 yuan!” Yi Feng laughed.
“Holy shit! The 600,000 yuan is already in? Awesome!” Wang Tie exclaimed excitedly, as this was the largest sum of money he had ever seen.
“Hehe, come on, let’s go eat something, I’ll treat tonight,” Brother Yither Fengstured.
“Hooray! Long live Brother Feng!” Wang Tie cheered.
The three then gathered their things and left the company, finding a nearby seafood supper restaurant to dine at.
At the restaurant’s entrance, they saw a crowd ahead, seemingly egging someone on.
“Say yes!”
“Say yes!”
“Say yes!”
…
“It looks lively ahead, let’s check it out!” Wang Tie, who loved joining in, ran ahead into the crowd.
Yi Feng and Han Ping’an followed.
In the crowd, they saw a couple in the center, a young man in a suit kneeling on one knee offering flowers to a girl.
The girl, wearing a long dress and with her black hair flowing down, looked pretty from her figure, even though they couldn’t see her face clearly.
“Ah, it’s a proposal, how sweet!”
“What an enviable couple!”
Wang Tie watched the two with a motherly smile.
“Would you be my girlfriend?” the young man asked earnestly.
The girl, deeply moved, took the bouquet, her voice choked with emotion, nodded, “I, I will!”
The crowd cheered for them.
The young man excitedly stood up, hugged her, and spun her around in place.
Wang Tie couldn’t help but clap happily, “What beautiful love! May they grow old together!”
The street lights were dim, but Yi Feng’s eyes were sharp. As the couple spun around, he
caught a glimpse of the girl’s face.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck his mind.
No way!
This is too melodramatic?
Yi Feng rubbed his eyes, thinking he had seen wrong, but a closer look confirmed his sight.
“Uh, Wang Tie, do you see who that girl is?”
“Can’t see clearly, who is it?” Wang Tie, slightly nearsighted, asked doubtfully.
Yi Feng took a deep breath, “It’s your girlfriend… Xu Xiaoling.”
“What?!”
Wang Tie was struck as if by lightning, standing frozen in place.
He felt numb all over.
“Impossible!”
The next moment, he pushed forward into the crowd, finally seeing the girl’s face clearly from the side, and was stunned!
It really was his girlfriend, Xu Xiaoling!
Wang Tie watched as the two stopped spinning and hugged each other tightly.
At that moment, Wang Tie felt as if his world had collapsed.
He stood there, dazed.
He could never have imagined witnessing Xu Xiaoling accept another man’s proposal!
To see his girlfriend cheat right before his eyes!
His face turned pale, his eyes filled with confusion, pain, and anger.
He had given Xu Xiaoling his sincerest feelings, only to end up like this!
He experienced the most painful betrayal, feeling as if his heart was being torn apart.
Yi Feng came over, patted his shoulder, “I told you, Xu Xiaoling isn’t someone suitable to be with.”
“Do you want to do something about it?”
Yi Feng rolled up his sleeves, ready to fight.
Wang Tie was his good buddy, his brother, and now someone had betrayed him. If Wang Tie wanted to fight, he wouldn’t hesitate to help.
Wang Tie grabbed him, his expression lost, shaking his head, “No need, Brother Feng.”
Yi Feng looked at him, asking solemnly, “Are you sure?”
Wang Tie came back to his senses, his expression numb, nodding, “Let it go… Brother Feng, let’s go.”
Yi Feng sighed, “Then let’s go.”
The three squeezed out of the crowd and moved away, squatting down under a roadside tree.
Wang Tie just watched from a distance, tears rolling in his eyes, his expression pained.
Yi Feng pulled out a pack of cigarettes, offering one to him, “Here, I’ll join you.”
Wang Tie took the cigarette, and the three squatted on the roadside, smoking.
Previously, Wang Tie had brought Xu Xiaoling to the store to play, and Han Ping’an had seen her twice, so seeing Xu Xiaoling embracing another man here, it was clear what had happened.
“Brother Tie, let’s fight. It might make you feel better,” Han Ping’an blew a smoke ring, his voice cold.
Among the three, Han Ping’an had the highest fighting capacity, recklessly so.
He considered Wang Tie a brother and didn’t want to see him in such pain.
Wang Tie smoked, tears streaming down, chokingly said, “What’s the point? It’s not worth fighting for her!”
“Fuck!”
Wang Tie cursed loudly, tears and snot streaming, unable to stop.
He buried his head in his legs, sobbing aloud, his whole body trembling.
At that moment, he completely broke down.
