Rebirth 1989: My Unlucky Career

Seeing that the business of Zhuo Yun Photo Studio was booming, and frustrated, Director Li came up with this strategy:

On the one hand, he found a film supplier who was familiar with him and asked him to increase the film price to Zhuoyun Photo Studio.

On the other hand, he asked his nephew Zhang Wei to deliberately cause trouble, thereby forcing Zhuo Yun Photo Studio to stop working.

What he didn't expect was that Zhao Zhuo actually took 300 photos!

You know, for Zhuoyun Photo Studio, the cost of 300 photos is 6,000 yuan!

Even if it charges 3,000 yuan for photos, Zhuoyun Photo Studio still has to pay 3,000 yuan!

And this does not include rent, water, electricity and other costs.

In other words, Zhao Zhuo's shot is equivalent to two years' salary of an ordinary person!

What courage is this!

At least, in Director Li's view, this kind of courage is beyond his imagination.

Therefore, when he heard that Zhao Zhuo really wanted to develop 300 photos, Director Li panicked.

"Okay, the real owners are here, take the money."

Zhao Zhuo didn't talk nonsense, stretched out his hand and said calmly.

Director Li had already understood Zhao Zhuo's determination to lose money, so he changed his strategy.

I saw him forcing a smile and saying:

"Brother Zhao, I admit that what I did this time was indeed wrong, and I shouldn't have used this method to stumbling upon you."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo immediately understood what Director Li meant and waved his hand:

"Stop it, there's no need to say these useless things."

Director Li was scolded by Zhao Zhuo, but he still had the patience to apologize and said with a smile:

"Listen to me first. These are not photos that have been developed yet. They are just ten negatives. I bought them all at three times the price, 30 yuan each!

This way you can make some money, which is much better than washing out those 300 cards and us all losing money."

Director Li thought that since he had such a low attitude, Zhao Zhuo would definitely agree to his approach after weighing the pros and cons.

After all, if one is to lose three thousand yuan and the other is to make one or two hundred yuan, most people will choose the latter.

But unfortunately, Zhao Zhuo is not that majority of people.

I saw Zhao Zhuo indifferently watching Director Li talk a lot, and then asked lightly:

"Finished?"

Director Li was stunned:

"That's it."

Zhao Zhuo had no intention of wavering:

"After that, give me the money, three thousand."

Director Li was immediately furious when he heard this:

"Hey, why are you so persistent? Are you going to end up hurting both sides?"

Seeing that Director Li was getting anxious, Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but laugh angrily:

"If you continue to talk nonsense, do you believe I won't let you out of this door?"

Although Zhao Zhuo was smiling when he said this, the bone-chilling chill in his eyes made Director Li shiver.

He didn't know why, but when he met Zhao Zhuo's eyes, he felt a sense of fear in his heart.

Therefore, Director Li chose to follow his heart and silently shut his mouth.

Zhao Zhuo continued:

"Now you know you are afraid? Are you worried about money? What did you do when you asked people to make trouble?

Anyway, today’s photo, I will definitely develop it for you. And the money, you can’t lose a penny from me.”

Zhao Zhuo spoke firmly, leaving no room for negotiation.

Director Li understood that there was no room for change, so he simply pretended to be mute, shut his mouth and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Zhang Yun couldn't stand it anymore:

"You are such an old man, why don't you even have this little responsibility?"

Director Li's face turned red when he heard the little girl's disdain, but he still insisted on not speaking.

Even Zhang Wei, who was standing by, couldn't stand this rogue behavior.

However, Zhao Zhuo was not anxious at all and just said lightly:

"If you don't want to speak, just stay here."

After speaking, Zhao Zhuo looked at Zhang Yun:

"Zhang Yun, call their work unit and ask their leader to see how shameless a photo studio director is.

Anyway, it's okay even if he doesn't admit it. There were so many witnesses at the door just now, and they can all testify.

Bring this matter to the forefront and let me see if he can continue to be the director!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yun nodded and picked up the phone.

Upon seeing this, Director Li's expression changed drastically, and he suddenly panicked.

"No, no, no, don't call!"

Director Li subconsciously wanted to reach out to stop Zhang Yun, but was stopped by Zhao Zhuo.

Seeing Zhao Zhuo's playful expression, Director Li weighed it again and sighed heavily:

"Hey, why don't I pay for it?"

He knew very well that if this call was made, his job would be completely in jeopardy.

As the director of a state-owned company, he relies on this iron rice bowl to make a living.

When his job is gone, he is finished.

In desperation, Director Li had no choice but to take out the money from the bag he carried with him.

A total of three thousand yuan, which was money he had worked hard to save for several years!

At this time, Director Li felt extremely regretful as to why he provoked Zhao Zhuo because of his temporary anger.

Zhao Zhuo accepted the money with a sneer:

"Thank you, Director Li, for taking care of the business. I will come here often when you have nothing to do."

This is driving people away.

Director Li let out a long sigh, turned around and walked outside lonely.

"I'll pay for it, and you'll have to pay for it too. That's the way to compensate. Let's see how long your photo studio can last!"

Director Li was really angry before leaving and said angrily.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Zhao Zhuo said calmly:

"Oh, by the way, you may not know that I found a new film supplier in the Soviet Union, and the price is several times cheaper than now.

So, today you lose money and I make money."

Zhao Zhuo pretended to say something casually, which almost made Director Li spit out a mouthful of blood.

"What did you say? This is impossible!"

Director Li shouted subconsciously, which caused the passersby around him to look sideways, thinking he was mentally ill.

But Director Li no longer cared about what the people around him thought of him, and his face was full of shock.

If he can expedite the collapse of Zhuo Yun Photo Studio by spending this money, then the money will be spent and he will be able to earn it back sooner or later.

But if it is true as Zhao Zhuo said, then he has really lost his wife and his army.

This is something that Director Li cannot accept under any circumstances.

Zhao Zhuo, however, looked calm when faced with Director Li's rude behavior.

"Whether it is true or not, you will naturally know in a few days.

I would like to advise you, if you do too much injustice, you will be punished. In the future, you should do less things that harm others and do not benefit yourself."

After saying that, Zhao Zhuo closed the door with a bang, leaving Director Li standing alone at the door, feeling miserable.

"Okay, let's get off work early today and go out for a big meal!"

Zhao Zhuo looked at Zhang Yun and said with a smile.
