Protagonist:

Jiang Wenyu

After that, everything with the Chen Family remained as before, as if nothing had changed.

The next day, as Jiang Wenyu walked toward the company, he pondered: "Counting the days, it should be just about time..."

Meanwhile, at the Miaoshou Jiang Electrical Appliance Company, inside the Office.

Li Chen had been busy since early morning; before Jiang Wenyu arrived, he wanted to quickly summarize the appliance purchase ledgers from the past few days, only then could he start work.

But just then, a sound came from outside, from Lou Xia.

"Mr. Li, someone is looking for you!"

The person shouting from below was also one of the company's employees; Li Chen called out: "Let him come up!"

Quite a few people came looking for them every day; earlier there were even some seeking cooperation, but the other party merely wanted to take advantage, and in the end all were rejected by Li Chen, so he had long since grown accustomed to it.

The visitor came upstairs quickly; Li Chen was still busy with his head down, and the former immediately said upon coming up: "Mr. Li, it's been a while."

The familiar voice made Li Chen look up at once, then he stood up in surprise: "Boss Ma!?"

The visitor was none other than Ma Xianjin, the big boss of Jinchuan Company in the neighboring Huadeng City.

Facing this distinguished guest, Li Chen hurried over to welcome him.

"Boss Ma, what brings you here? Please, have a seat!" He immediately moved over a chair, and at the same time hurried back to pour a cup of water.

Ma Xianjin took the water cup with a smile, and after sitting down he looked around, nodding involuntarily: "Not bad. I just went to take a look at your factory; the workers seem to be working quite seriously."

Li Chen laughed heartily: "That's all thanks to Jiang Wenyu being capable; I'm just helping him as an assistant. Boss Ma, how come you came over so early in the morning?"

Ma Xianjin took a deep breath and said: "I've come to find you about a matter. Sigh, where is Jiang Wenyu?"

Li Chen replied: "He should be arriving soon. Boss Ma, whatever you want to discuss, just say it; with our relationship, speaking directly is fine."

Li Chen's personality was indeed likable; Ma Xianjin didn't hesitate either, and after nodding he recounted Jinchuan Company's recent changes in full, with a heavy expression.

After finishing, he added: "Not many people know about this matter at present; I was also worried that if it spread, there would be a bad impact."

Li Chen was naturally very surprised after hearing this, and immediately nodded: "President Ma, rest assured, I won't go around telling people. However... that engineer cut corners for so long and it wasn't discovered?"

Ma Xianjin sighed: "Indeed. For one, the subordinates' lives got better and they neglected their work. For another, it's also my fault for poor judgment, using the wrong person, which led to today's situation."

Li Chen hesitated for a moment: "Will the losses be very large?"

Ma Xianjin nodded heavily: "Very large. That's nearly half a year's output. If it could be sold off it would be alright, but the problem is there's no way to sell it; the quality completely fails to meet standards, and remelting would only lose even more."

Speaking to this point, he raised his head and gazed at Li Chen, saying seriously: "So I thought of you, thought of you and Jiang Wenyu."

Li Chen wasn't stupid either; he asked at once: "President Ma means to have us help repair these substandard products?"

Ma Xianjin nodded: "This is the only way I can think of. After repairs I still have ways to sell them; although the price may be much lower, it's at least far better than the current situation."

Li Chen pondered incessantly in his heart; he suddenly also thought of the opportunity Jiang Wenyu had mentioned before — could this matter be that opportunity?

Thinking of this, Li Chen pondered further, and finally asked: "President Ma, just asking roughly, how many are there?"

Ma Xianjin hesitated for a moment, then sighed: "69,000 pieces in total, including tape recorders, Dianshi, radios, and other household appliances, as well as some large items."

"6... this many?" Li Chen was so surprised he couldn't speak, and also marveled at Jinchuan Company's production capacity — half a year alone produced this many; truly worthy of Jinchuan Company.

But precisely because the quantity was too large, Li Chen began to hesitate.

He could roughly confirm that the opportunity Jiang Wenyu spoke of was this, but the problem was... could they repair over sixty thousand appliances?

There were only forty-some workers in the factory altogether; when would they finish repairing? The cost issue also had to be factored in.

Li Chen managed the accounts; he didn't want Jiang Wenyu to suffer excessive losses, and secondly it was for the sake of the company, so at the moment he found it very hard to make a decision.

Seeing Li Chen's heavy expression, Ma Xianjin also knew he was asking a bit much, and couldn't help sighing: "In any case, that's my purpose in coming. I don't dare hope you can fix all of them; it's just that right now, besides asking you for help, I can't find anyone else."

Ma Xianjin was already very polite; Li Chen immediately said: "President Ma, I can't decide on this matter; the quantity is too large. I think we should wait for Jiang Wenyu—"

"No need to wait, I'm here."
