Protagonist:
Jiang Wenyu
When Jiang Wenyu returned, two or three people were still following behind him; those people were carrying a large bag on their backs, and after walking into Li Chen's shop and setting it down gently, they left in quick steps.
Li Chen came over curiously and asked, "What's this stuff?"
Jiang Wenyu smiled and recounted what had just happened; after listening, Li Chen indeed looked somewhat stunned, especially upon hearing the condition Jiang Wenyu had proposed, and he blurted out, "Reduce the rent? Wang Tao agreed?"
Jiang Wenyu nodded while saying, "He agreed, all right, but no one can guarantee this guy won't find other ways to make things difficult for us later, so we still need to stay vigilant."
Li Chen took a deep breath, then let out a long sigh, looked at Jiang Wenyu seriously and said gratefully, "Brother, I won't say anything else — if there's anything in the future, you just say the word!"
Jiang Wenyu chuckled and said, "Then this time I really do need your help; the quantity of these things is too large, I can't possibly fix them all in ten days by myself."
"No problem! From today on, I, Li Chen, am your hands and feet, Jiang Wenyu — you can order me around however you like!"
Although the shop was also Jiang Wenyu's workplace, it ultimately wasn't his, yet he still cared about it deeply, and this moved Li Chen greatly.
As for Wang Tao's side? He sat in the office the entire morning without moving a muscle, his expression gloomy.
Having Jiang Wenyu help make up the losses was naturally good; the shop's rent being lowered was fine, he didn't care. But this incident made Wang Tao feel even more unreconciled.
Just how capable is Jiang Wenyu? Guarantee everything fixed in ten days, and guarantee quality to boot? He didn't believe it, and precisely because he didn't believe it, he was certain the appliances Jiang Wenyu fixed would definitely develop quality problems, so he had thought up a countermeasure in advance this time.
If those appliances still ended up having quality problems, Wang Tao could completely shift all the blame onto Jiang Wenyu; within a few days, Jiang Wenyu's reputation would surely take a heavy hit, and would they still be able to carry on like before?
Thinking of this, Wang Tao couldn't help but laugh; through this matter he had also seen how difficult the repair business was, but he had no intention of stopping — this was a lucrative gig!
Since those ten ordinary technicians had no ability, he would just find another capable one! As for Jiang Wenyu and Li Chen… he naturally couldn't watch them thrive in his mall.
Yes, he had plenty of ways to deal with them, because Jiang Wenyu and Li Chen's shops were in his mall; if he wanted, he could drive them out at any time, only right now he couldn't do so for lack of a proper reason, otherwise it might cause a bad impact, but the thought remained.
Starting the next day, Jiang Wenyu and Li Chen's work began much earlier than before; Li Chen formally started assisting Jiang Wenyu, but customers still came to the shop as usual, so Jiang Wenyu found a friend to help mind the store.
"Today will trouble you." Jiang Wenyu smiled.
"No trouble, no trouble!" The girl with braided pigtails smiled gently: "Jiang Ge helped me so much, I wanted to help you too; it just so happens Zhou Shi is on a business trip these two days, so Dianqi Cheng is closed, and there's nothing to do at my factory anyway."
The person he found to mind the shop was none other than Wu Miaomiao.
Li Chen also greeted her, and then Wu Miaomiao began her day of minding the shop.
The whole morning, repairs went fairly smoothly; aside from one or two with especially severe damage, the rest were manageable. The afternoon passed, and that day they repaired quite a few — about seven or eight units.
They were definitely in for a hard stretch these days, and two days later Wu Miaomiao's holiday ended and she went back.
All the way until the tenth day, Jiang Wenyu and Li Chen were still buried in hard work in the back room, while behind the counter sat a little girl playing with handicrafts, folding things that looked quite realistic — clothes, pants, paper cranes; the little girl was very cute, her little legs swinging back and forth, her pigtails swaying along.
Yes, the little girl was none other than Jiang Wenyu's beloved daughter, Jiang Nuannuan.
Chen Lan's work at the Clothing Factory hadn't stopped, but the Kindergarten had given the children a holiday these few days for certain reasons, and since she couldn't leave Jiang Nuannuan alone at home, she simply brought her to the shop early in the morning.
Even alone, the little girl played very happily, and from time to time customers would come in.
At noon that day, when Li Chen came out to rest for a bit, he saw some old appliances and some candies and small snacks placed in front of Jiang Nuannuan as soon as he stepped out.
Li Chen walked over curiously and asked gently, "Nuan Nuan, where did these candies come from?"
Xiao Nuannuan giggled and said, "The uncles and aunties who just brought these things gave them to me!"
Her adorable look really made one want to reach out and pinch her cheek, but fortunately Li Chen restrained himself. Returning to the back room, he laughed and told Jiang Wenyu, "Your daughter is going to be something else in the future."
Even without saying it, Jiang Wenyu could roughly guess what had happened; whenever he took Jiang Nuannuan out to play, strangers would always give her things to eat and drink, and it was all for Nuan Nuan.
Jiang Wenyu said while busy, "My daughter will definitely be more accomplished than me in the future."
