Chapter 22

Zhang Qiu opened the USB drive again and saw that the files inside had appeared. There was only one folder, named "Mom." Inside the folder were two subfolders: "Impressions" and "Images."

Opening the "Impressions" folder, he saw rows of photos. Zhang Qiu randomly opened one, and it turned out to be a black-and-white photo with an old-fashioned style. In the photo was a beautiful woman with a simple and radiant smile. The quality of the photo suggested it was a scanned version.

Zhang Qiu recognized this style. Although the woman was wearing a qipao, it wasn't from the familiar Republican era, but rather from the late 1970s. That was a special period that had just ended, and China was still in a very simple time, retaining many traditional customs and attire, both in cities and in the countryside. That era was completely different from the present.

Although the woman in the photo was beautiful, considering the era, the woman in the photo was likely to be in her fifties or sixties now. Zhang Qiu immediately lost interest. He handed the computer to Su Yun and said, "Sister, take a look. Are these the files?"

Su Yun had already seen the photo when Zhang Qiu opened it. She didn't know what files were inside, but when Zhang Qiu asked and handed her the computer, she reacted. After making a phone call, she soon nodded to Zhang Qiu.

Zhang Qiu pulled out the USB drive and handed it to Su Yun, who then asked, "Xiao Qiu, how much do you charge?"

"If it were someone else, I would definitely charge them thousands. But since it's you, sister, consider it a gift from me," Zhang Qiu said generously.

Su Yun replied, "You have a bit of conscience. But don't save money for your sister. Actually, this USB drive belongs to our boss, and all expenses will be reimbursed by her. Someone previously quoted fifty thousand yuan and wasn't even sure if they could fix it!"

Zhang Qiu knew Su Yun was telling the truth. The value of data recovery depends entirely on how much someone is willing to pay for the data. If it were a regular user, he would probably just format the hard drive rather than spend money to recover the data. Without demand, it's worth nothing. This industry only deals with what is in demand.

"Then you can keep the reimbursement. If you really want to thank me, just treat me to a meal. I haven't had lunch yet today," Zhang Qiu said.

"Since Xiao Qiu is so generous, I won't be shy. But I won't take advantage of you. Actually, this USB drive is just a backup for testing. The real problem hasn't been solved yet. Since you have the capability, I'll introduce you to our boss. You can set your own price, don't give me any special treatment," Su Yun said.

"Ha ha, your boss must be very happy to have an employee like you," Zhang Qiu also smiled, thinking that the opportunity to complete the task had arrived.

On the way to Su Yun's company, they chatted casually. Zhang Qiu asked about Su Yun's business card and her position. Why was she a client manager on the business card but an assistant at Sun Shan's place? Had she been demoted?

This wasn't something to hide. Seeing Zhang Qiu's curious face, Su Yun explained. Zhang Qiu then understood that a client manager was actually a euphemism for a salesperson, a true grassroots employee. Her assistant position, on the other hand, was a general manager's assistant, part of the management.

Due to the company's special nature, Fang Fei Yiren had all employees as salespeople. Everyone who joined initially worked as a client manager. Even after changing positions, they would still retain this title and receive commissions if they brought in business.

When Su Yun was a client manager, the business cards she had printed hadn't been used up when she was promoted to assistant by the general manager. She kept the unused business cards and used them when exchanging cards.

After hearing Su Yun's explanation, Zhang Qiu understood that there were many intricacies in the workplace. A salesperson was just a salesperson, but calling them a client manager made them sound like a big deal.

Besides asking about these things, Zhang Qiu also casually asked about what kind of person Su Yun's boss was and what to watch out for when they met.

Although Zhang Qiu wasn't necessarily afraid of the boss, since he wanted to earn money, he needed to do some preparation. Besides, with Su Yun's connection, it wouldn't be good to make things too difficult. Plus, chatting with Su Yun and listening to her sweet and gentle voice was indeed a pleasure, so why not?

After about ten minutes, they arrived at Su Yun's company. It was actually a combination of a store and an office. Fang Fei Yiren only had one branch and wasn't a large company, so it didn't have many formalities. It could be called a store or an office, depending on preference or habit.

From the outside, there was nothing special, but as soon as they entered, Zhang Qiu could smell a delicate fragrance of powder, making his nose tingle.

The interior decoration, while not opulent, was very comfortable and inviting, making one want to stay.

What really caught Zhang Qiu's attention, however, was not the decoration but the girls walking around! All kinds of young and lively girls, not all of them beautiful, but at least their figures and backs were very appealing.

The sheer number of them was truly impressive and pleasing to the eye. Zhang Qiu had seen groups of girls before, but where could you find a better place than a school?

But the girls in school were just girls, and looking at them didn't make one feel particularly good. Although there were some beauties, the majority were likely to be less attractive. It was nothing like now, where it felt like entering a kingdom of beauties.

"Damn, if I could work here, I'd be in heaven!"

Unfortunately, he didn't have enough beauty radar uses to determine their levels. Otherwise, with so many girls, even if not all were provincial or city-level beauties, most could probably reach county-level standards. Among so many beauties, he could surely find a few provincial beauties, maybe even a national beauty.

Discovering a high-level beauty was much more exciting than looking at a group of low-level beauties.

"Su Sister, who is this? Your boyfriend?" Most of the girls were at their workstations, but their eyes had already glanced at Zhang Qiu. Some of the girls who were walking around came closer and asked Su Yun, clearly recognizing her.

"Turns out Su Sister likes young boys! No wonder so many people pursue you, but you don't even look at them!" Another girl joked before Su Yun could answer.

This comment immediately drew a burst of laughter.

"Brat, are you asking for a beating? Get back to work! Don't guess anymore. This is my brother. An innocent young boy. If you're interested, I can introduce you to him," Su Yun first scolded them with a stern face, then turned the tables.

Can "unmarried" be used to describe a man? The situation had completely reversed!

Zhang Qiu felt a cold sweat. Women were indeed powerful, especially in a world full of women.

He had never been teased by so many beautiful and graceful women before. Even with the Beauty Search System, he couldn't help but blush.

He secretly looked at the girl who had teased Su Yun and was then scolded. She was fair-skinned and had a very slim figure, especially her waist, which made one want to hug it to see if it was truly "a handful."

Except for her chest, which was smaller than Su Yun's, she looked even more appealing as a young girl. His heart suddenly raced, and a thought popped into his head: having such a girl as a girlfriend wouldn't be bad at all!

Just thinking about it made his face even redder.

"Hey! You're blushing! You really are an innocent young boy!" The girl saw Zhang Qiu's blush and laughed, showing her white, even teeth. Realizing it might not look good, she quickly covered her mouth, her long, white fingers and wrist looking very attractive.

Zhang Qiu thought this girl was at least a city-level beauty, on par with Su Yun, and if she were a bit more ladylike, she could even rival Lin Lai.

But the girl's next words made Zhang Qiu's forehead turn black: "I like innocent young boys! Seriously, Su Sister, are you really willing to give your brother to me? Isn't that like sending a lamb to the wolves?" Damn, is this still a girl? She's practically a predator!

Zhang Qiu, who had only encountered innocent schoolgirls and hadn't even interacted much with them, felt he had truly learned something. But if it came down to it, who was the wolf and who was the lamb was uncertain.

Feeling a bit overwhelmed, Zhang Qiu said, "Sister, let's get to business. I have other things to do today."

"Okay, follow me," Su Yun nodded.
