"How can it be this expensive!?" Wang Tao finally couldn't hold back and shot to his feet with a scrape.

That subordinate merely bought the items as requested; he knew nothing else at all.

Bai Mulin also walked in at this moment, looked at the things bought on the floor, and said: "Bought them? Then I'll start work."

"W-wait!" Wang Tao, cold sweat filling his mind, asked: "Mr. Bai, are these... are these things a bit too expensive? This is just a color TV, not even a good brand; a casual repair to make it usable would do, right? What exactly are these things..."

Without turning his head, Bai Mulin tinkered away while replying indifferently: "Since I'm doing it, I'll do the best. This is my principle in life. Boss Wang, please rest assured. However, could you trouble yourselves to step out for a bit? I need to borrow this place temporarily."

Seeing Bai Mulin's serious look, Wang Tao was momentarily at a loss for words. Over two thousand yuan — he felt the pain keenly — but Bai Mulin's confident demeanor made it hard to say more, so he could only subconsciously walk out of the office.

Standing outside the door, Wang Tao was anxious to the extreme.

He could only pray everything went smoothly now; if it didn't work out later, he also planned to hurry and return those things, maybe losing a little less.

After the lesson from last time, Wang Tao was extremely cautious in this regard.

In fact, he didn't know how skilled Bai Mulin was at repair; he was only introduced as one of the top few among his peers. As for what work he had done before, Wang Tao wasn't clear either.

Amid anxious waiting, time passed minute by second, until around four in the afternoon the office door finally opened, and Bai Mulin walked out, expression calm, some grime on him.

"Done?" Wang Tao asked urgently.

Bai Mulin replied: "Not yet. Probably still need two more days to finish."

"Two days?" Wang Tao hurriedly said: "Th-that's a bit slow, isn't it?" He knew Jiang Wenyu's speed repairing appliances was quite fast; how come it needed two days with him?

Bai Mulin still said seriously: "Haste makes waste; this is also my work principle. Boss Wang, please rest assured. These few days, your office will be borrowed by me for now."

Finished speaking, Bai Mulin closed the office door again.

Wang Tao stood stunned at the door, completely at a loss, but two days it is then; if it's fixed in two days that's fine, but what if it isn't fixed?

Just like that, Wang Tao's office was thoroughly "requisitioned" by Bai Mulin, and for the next two days Wang Tao remained worried the whole time.

On the morning two days later, Wang Tao couldn't wait and ran to the office door, knocking non-stop; after several minutes the door finally opened from inside.

Bai Mulin walked out staring with a pair of dark circles; Wang Tao couldn't care about anything else and hurriedly asked: "Mr. Bai, how is it?"

Bai Mulin didn't speak, directly letting Wang Tao walk in.

The moment he entered, Wang Tao's gaze was instantly drawn to the brand-new, bright things on the floor.

It was a color TV almost ten-tenths new, surface smooth and gleaming; all the various scratches originally on the shell had completely vanished, and the huge screen could reflect Wang Tao's utterly astonished expression.

Wang Tao was stunned speechless for a moment, while Bai Mulin said indifferently: "More or less done. The refurbishment went fairly smoothly."

Only now did Wang Tao finally understand what he meant by refurbishment before.

Where is this still that broken old color TV delivered back then? It's simply like it just left the factory! Wang Tao suppressed his excitement and asked: "Mr. Bai, this... no problem using it, right?"

Bai Mulin also didn't speak, picked up the plug and inserted it into the power strip, pressed a few buttons, and the color TV flashed a color test pattern with a whoosh — vivid colors, no sign of damage at all.

Only then did Wang Tao reveal a slight smile, then hurriedly asked: "Repaired this well, how much to sell it for outside would be appropriate?"

Bai Mulin didn't hesitate in the slightest, expression still calm, and said: "Boss Wang intends to sell this refurbished unit?"
