Protagonist:

Jiang Wenyu

Don't be fooled by how exhausted he was each day — Jiang Wenyu was extraordinarily excited!

He understood perfectly well what a serious concept "effort" was; during work he didn't rest for even half a minute, stopping only briefly after finishing a repair before continuing.

Even Li Chen urged Jiang Wenyu to rest more, but the latter paid it no mind.

In fact, the reason so many customers came was first because Jiang Wenyu's skills were genuinely good, and second because of the discount promotion they had set at opening.

Next, and ultimately the most important reason, they had added a new service to their original scope of work — delivery service!

After arriving, customers could choose on-site repair, bring the item directly to Jiang Wenyu for repair, and finally even choose whether to have it delivered to their door after repair or pick it up themselves.

Of course these extra services all carried extra fees, but the fees were very reasonable; the surcharge for on-site repair was only one yuan fifty fen, and the surcharge for door delivery was the same.

This pricing won the customers' support, and precisely because these new services were added, people with needs from neighboring cities kept coming, which likewise increased the workload for the two of them.

In terms of division of labor, Li Chen volunteered to handle reception and door-delivery service, while Jiang Wenyu took on repair and on-site repair; reception suited Li Chen best — customers needing on-site repair or delivery would write down their addresses in advance.

At peak, thirty to forty customers came each day; the items needing repair were much the same as before, but with Chema City's reforms, people's living conditions kept improving, and the appliances they used grew increasingly high-end — take today, for instance: in a single day they had already received four black-and-white TV repair orders, including one color TV order. This was enough to prove that people's living standards were rising step by step.

And beyond all that, the most crucial part of Jiang Wenyu and Li Chen's work was appliance recycling!

Don't be misled by the decent customer flow just after opening — as enthusiasm wanes, customers will surely dwindle; therefore, beyond appliance repair, the two formulated a core company operation — recycling, refurbishing, and sales, all three combined!

Yes, Jiang Wenyu still planned to return to his old trade: recycling high-value appliances, refurbishing them, and selling them — that was the real money-maker, while appliance repair only counted as a minor side job.

To that end, Jiang Wenyu specially sought out Zhou Shi to draw up a work schedule for them.

Every week, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for repair work; Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday for the core business of recycling and sales; Sunday would depend on circumstances.

The schedule was practically packed; recycling work was done by both together.

Now the skills were

there, the customer base was there, and the two's target had already shifted to high-value appliances.

Not only that, because they were very close to Dianqi Cheng, Jiang Wenyu had also reached some cooperative arrangements with Zhou Shi — any suitable refurbished appliances could be sold in Zhou Shi's Dianqi Cheng, though only the more ordinary ones; the more valuable ones still required Li Chen and him to actively find buyers.

Furthermore, when Dianqi Cheng took in stock they often encountered appliances knocked and damaged in transit — that was when Jiang Wenyu would step in.

Over these several days Jiang Wenyu and Li Chen did feel worn out, but afterward the number of visitors gradually decreased, the work pace finally eased considerably, and under this rhythm their income kept rising.

Before long, a week had passed just like that, and Jiang Wenyu and Li Chen's company gradually stabilized.

This day, Jiang Wenyu was upstairs repairing appliances; the morning had few customers — yesterday they had just collected some discarded appliances, prices not too high. But at this moment, sounds of idle chatter drifted from downstairs — sounded like Li Chen and a man, hearty laughter ringing out from time to time, seemingly a friend of Li Chen's.

Sure enough, before long Li Chen came upstairs and said, "A customer's here!"

Jiang Wenyu immediately set down the work at hand, asking as he followed downstairs.

"Who is it?"
