Could it really be fixed back to its original state?
The cute girl wasn't dumb. He was a professional, so if she didn't pay him, he could easily sabotage her phone if he wanted to. This made her compromise, "But you can't charge this much, can you?"
Li Zhongnan pretended to ponder before responding, "All right, since you're still a student, I'll give you a discount and charge four hundred."
The girl sensed he had loosened up and felt she could haggle the price a bit more.
Then, she changed her demeanour, looking helplessly at him, "Mr. Shuai, can you make it any cheaper? I...I don't have that much money. Could it be a bit cheaper, please?"
As she spoke, she leaned slightly forward, revealing a bit more to him.
Oh my goodness, she was resorting to the beauty scheme. Well, no harm in looking, he thought. However, she was still underdeveloped, and her cleavage wasn't deep enough, he observed. After a while, he smirked, "Well, girl, you're really pretty... Okay, leave your WeChat ID, let's be friends, and I'll knock off another two hundred."
"Thanks, Mr. Shuai!"
The girl smiled triumphantly. Hmph, such was the charm of a beauty like her, capable of mesmerizing the lascivious uncle with a mere flirtatious glance. She picked up a pen and started writing down her WeChat ID. Li Zhongnan reminded her, "Remember, you're a student. Be honest and trustworthy, no faking."
At his warning, the girl grimaced, crossed off the first WeChat ID she wrote and wrote another one. Then she took out two hundred dollars, grabbed her phone and left cheerfully.
"Hahahahaha..."
As Li Zhongnan received the two hundred dollar bills, he nearly burst into laughter. He had only blown into the phone, didn't even use any system repair feature, and he already earned two hundred dollars, more than what he normally earned in a day. Moreover, the girl gave the money willingly, probably feeling smug herself.
This money was too easy to make.
After waiting awhile, no other customers appeared.
Li Zhongnan picked up his phone, opened WeChat, and used the ID the girl had given him to find and add her as a friend. She was young and beautiful, with a tall figure and long legs... ahem, he was just bored and wanted to discuss life with her.
In less than a second, his friend request was rejected.
Then, she sent him a couple of notes:
Mr. Uncle, I didn't trick you. This is actually my WeChat ID. I am an honest and trustworthy student, you know.
Hmmph, Mr. Lusty Uncle, there's no way I'm going to let you flirt with me. I won't accept your request, take that!
Haha, you got tricked, didn't you!
Seeing this, Li Zhongnan's face darkened. Damn, didn't take long for him to go from a handsome guy to a lustful uncle in her eyes! He sent a reply without much thought, "Student, actually for your phone, I just used a hairdryer... Remember to ask the price first next time!"
Ahem, he didn't mean to rub it in.
He was just trying to help her out, to save her from being tricked into handling over her money in the future.
"Cheat!" While walking and checking her phone, the girl was so angry that she threw her phone. Oops, it seems she really broke it this time. She was nearly in tears.
In the following period, a few more customers came in, most of them needing phone repairs. Li Zhongnan handled the ones he was capable of repairing, saving some money. For the things he couldn't handle, he used the system repair function.
By the end of the day, he had made over twelve hundred dollars, using less than two gold coins.
Li Zhongnan was thrilled. Based on this, he could earn around thirty to forty thousand a month. Subtracting rent, utility fees and the cost of gold coins, he could still make a net profit of twenty to thirty thousand. This was already significantly higher than the average salary of a Tsinghua graduate.
