Chapter 173: Chapter 149

“Is that it? A boss novel? I think you’re just being a hooligan!”

“Bang!”

“Ouch!”

Yi Feng was kicked off the sofa.

“Gu Muxi, I’ve realized that in boss novels, there definitely wouldn’t be a female lead like you!”

“If you were the female lead, the boss would turn into a little puppy!”

Yi Feng rubbed his stomach, taking in a sharp breath.

Gu Muxi, with flushed cheeks and arms crossed, asked, “Are boss characters very powerful? Can they fight well?”

Yi Feng gave her a thumbs up, “Not as capable as you!”

“Hmph, alright, seeing you so spirited, I’m going back to surf the internet,” Gu Muxi stood up to leave.

“Hm? Are you leaving so soon? My head still hurts!” Yi Feng pretended to be in pain, leaning on the sofa.

“Hehe, Yi Feng, you should buy a book on the self-cultivation of actors. With your acting skills, it’s really hard on the eyes.” With that, Gu Muxi didn’t look back as she left.

Yi Feng chuckled to himself, his acting skills shouldn’t be that bad.

Maybe Gu Muxi just knows me too well? Yeah, that must be it!

Well, might as well go back to sleep for a bit more.

…

Three weeks flew by, and during this time, Yi Feng was busy with work and attending driving tests, working from dawn till late at night, almost always getting home around nine or ten.

Fortunately, the five chain stores were finally completed on schedule.

Early one morning, ready for the new store’s opening ceremony, Yi Feng, along with his company’s staff, arrived at the new store on Changqing Road, right across the street from another computer store, Xingye Computer Store.

Indeed, this store was intentionally opened opposite Zhao Xingye’s.

Two rows of opening flower baskets were placed in front of the new store, some from suppliers like Feng Ze, and others purchased by themselves, making the storefront look very impressive with a dozen baskets on each side.

The staff, wearing neat and uniform attire, men in short-sleeved shirts and trousers, and women in shirts and knee-length skirts, were busy arranging the goods inside the spacious and well-decorated store, which was even bigger and brighter than the central city store.

“Brother Feng, when do we start the ribbon cutting and unveiling?” Wang Tie approached Yi Feng at the entrance.

Yi Feng, smoking a cigarette and looking at the Xingye Computer Store diagonally across, smiled, “No rush, let’s wait a bit more.”

Following his gaze, Wang Tie saw that Zhao Xingye’s store hadn’t opened yet and laughed, “Okay, I get it.”

Looks like Brother Feng is waiting for Zhao Xingye’s store to open!

What a strategic move!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Let’s go in and have some tea first,” Yi Feng patted his shoulder and said with a smile.

A while later, a Santana pulled up and parked in front of Xingye Computer Store.

Zhao Xingye and Gao Hongxing got out of the car, noticing a new store across the street with a modern and minimalist design. They couldn’t see the store name due to the red cloth covering the sign.

“Boss, there really is a new computer store opposite!” Gao Hongxing curiously looked over, noticing the computers and accessories displayed inside through the glass door, clearly identifying it as a computer store.

This was obviously a move to steal business!

Zhao Xingye’s face darkened immediately, sensing an ominous feeling.

This decoration style… looks a lot like Xifeng Electronic’s style!

“Let’s go check it out, damn it, I want to see who dared to open their store here!” Zhao Xingye said angrily, crossing the street directly.

Gao Hongxing hurriedly followed.

Upon reaching the entrance, they were greeted by two female staff in maple red uniforms and skirts.

“Welcome, are you here to buy a computer or accessories?” the girl on the right asked warmly.

“Just looking,” Zhao Xingye replied with a sullen face.

As he was about to look inside, a figure appeared in front of him.

“Hehe, Boss Zhao, long time no see,” Yi Feng said with a light chuckle, smoking a cigarette.

“So it’s you, president Yi.” Zhao Xingye’s expression turned very ugly, not expecting the new Xifeng Electronic store to be Yi Feng’s.

To open a store right across!

This was a blatant provocation, a deliberate attempt to steal business!

“Indeed, this new store is mine. Oh, and it’s my sixth chain store,” Yi Feng boasted intentionally to irritate him.

As expected, Zhao Xingye was shocked and angry, feeling bitter inside.

Damn it! This kid Yi Feng has made so much money?

“Boss Yi is indeed doing great business, but… what do you mean by opening here?” Zhao Xingye asked coldly.

Yi Feng blew a smoke ring, arrogantly saying, “Nothing much, just aiming to put you out of business.”

“You!”

Zhao Xingye almost choked with rage.

Yi Feng smirked, continuing, “Don’t think I don’t know you and that old Nie Xin teamed up against me.”

“You wanted to take me down, so of course, I’d want to do the same to you.”

“It’s that simple.”

Zhao Xingye’s expression changed, having been unable to contact Nie Xin for weeks, with calls and messages going unanswered.

Later, he heard from others that Nie Xin had caused a major scandal at the company, exposed online, dealing a massive blow to Shengde Company, leading to his suspension.

Hearing this, Zhao Xingye had a vague feeling it was Yi Feng’s doing, having lost sleep over it for weeks.

“Boss Yi, isn’t that a bit too harsh? I advise you to leave some leeway!” Zhao Xingye said solemnly.

Yi Feng scoffed, “When you were scheming against me, did you think about leaving leeway?”

“It’s too late now.”

“Wang Tie, unveil the sign, let’s open for business.”

Wang Tie, bursting with energy, complied, “Alright, Brother Feng.”

He and another male staff member stood on either side, unveiling the sign.

The red cloth fell, revealing the Xifeng Electronic sign and logo to the public, followed by enthusiastic applause from over twenty staff members, resonating loudly.

“Boss Zhao, would you like to stay for the ribbon cutting?” Yi Feng teased.

“Hmph! Yi Feng, don’t get cocky, we’ll see!” Zhao Xingye left angrily after dropping a harsh word.

Wang Tie watched them leave and whispered to Yi Feng, “Brother Feng, are we proceeding with the plan against that guy?”

Yi Feng nodded, “Yeah, just follow the original plan. For the grand opening, everything in this store, whether it’s complete machines or accessories, will be on discount. Computer repairs will be delivered within 48 hours, and we’ll only charge 100 yuan for labor, lasting for a month.”

“Sponsor all the nearby wall and store signs, get the ads out.”

“In less than a month, even a week is enough, Zhao Xingyue won’t have any business left!”
