Protagonist:

Jiang Wenyu

Over the next few days, after leaving Li Chen's place, Jiang Wenyu would go find Wang Tao to help him repair some seemingly expensive electrical equipment, finishing and settling accounts the same day; he was quite generous with the money.

This day, Wang Tao was in his office counting money with great delight, laughing heartily as he counted: "Not bad, didn't expect the electrical appliance trade to have this much potential."

His eyes lit up, and he suddenly thought of something.

That evening, when Jiang Wenyu came over again, Wang Tao brought out the items for Jiang Wenyu to repair while saying: "Mr. Jiang, your skills are so impressive, where did you learn them?"

Jiang Wenyu replied calmly: "Just learned a bit in the past."

Seeing he didn't wish to say more, Wang Tao didn't press, but smiled: "Mr. Jiang, what do you think of the scale of my mall?"

Jiang Wenyu started working while replying simply: "The scale is large, the foot traffic is heavy."

"Hahaha." Wang Tao said confidently: "No hiding it from you, this mall has been around for years, but in all of Chema City there's only this one mall; never mind the future, right now my mall is absolutely top-tier, it has whatever you need, serving the masses, so everyone wants to get a piece of the action in my mall — sellers of goods, sellers of all kinds of miscellaneous junk, you could say it has everything."

"And I, Wang Tao, know quite a few upper-crust figures in all of Chema City, including plenty of wealthy families; Mr. Jiang, if your appliance repair skills could expand a bit, you'd absolutely earn even more."

Jiang Wenyu paused his movements slightly, turned back and asked: "What does Mr. Wang mean…"

Wang Tao immediately produced a sheet of white paper, densely covered in writing, and handed it directly to Jiang Wenyu.

The latter read it carefully while listening to Wang Tao explain: "Mr. Jiang, I'll speak plainly — I want to cooperate with you; I provide resources, you provide labor, and these past few days you should've seen that the equipment I bring is all high-end, expensive, so your commission is naturally high too; therefore, just by cooperating with me, at your current level you'll absolutely earn more, no exaggeration — at least double what you make at Li Chen's."

Earning over double, plus the extra remuneration written in this contract, was indeed tempting.

Wang Tao was also confident he could rope Jiang Wenyu in; relying on his massive mall and his connections, he wasn't afraid Jiang Wenyu would refuse.

Jiang Wenyu finished reading the contract quickly; Wang Tao smiled, waiting confidently for Jiang Wenyu's answer.

Only to see him set the contract aside casually after reading, then continue repairing.

"…"

A full moment passed, and Jiang Wenyu actually didn't say a word, still repairing appliances seriously, as if he hadn't heard Wang Tao's words at all.

Wang Tao hurriedly prompted: "Mr. Jiang, what I just said…"

Jiang Wenyu didn't even lift his head, working as he said: "Cooperate, right? Mr. Wang, sorry, I temporarily have no intention of cooperating with anyone else."

"…"

Wang Tao stared blankly for several minutes before snapping back, incredulous: "Mr… Mr. Jiang, are you sure you read the whole contract? The remuneration on there…"

"Read it."

"…"

After those simple three words he fell silent; Wang Tao froze again for a good while, and when he recovered his face twitched as he said: "Mr. Jiang, you should know, my mall's traffic is huge, with my resource backing striking it rich is basically…"

"Mr. Wang."

Before he could finish, Jiang Wenyu cut him off and replied: "I have my own plans; still what I said just now — I temporarily have no intention of cooperating with others, whether it's Mr. Wang or anyone else I won't be cooperating for now, very sorry."
