Protagonist:

Jiang Wenyu

Jiang Wenyu's determination also gradually convinced Li Chen; he didn't actually doubt Jiang Wenyu's outstanding ability — under Jiang Wenyu's management these days the company had been smooth sailing without the slightest mistake — Li Chen merely worried something might go wrong in between, yet Jiang Wenyu kept facing it all with a smile.

Two days later, Jiang Wenyu personally went to Jinchuan Company and signed a contract with Ma Xianjin to acquire 69,000 products; at the same time Ma Xianjin generously lent Jiang Wenyu a large sum of money, and with this money plus the company's existing funds they finally brought those 69,000 substandard products back to Chema City.

That was over ten thousand pieces, after all; Ma Xianjin's hands were trembling when he signed the contract, and he also said something then that made Jiang Wenyu even happier.

"Mr. Jiang, no need to say anything else — if your company needs help in the future, my Jinchuan Company will certainly give full support! Whatever you need, just come find me!"

This was what made Jiang Wenyu happiest; befriending Jinchuan Company paved the way for his future prospects — Jinchuan Company was nothing like Ling Shen's company; the former was a famous major appliance manufacturer, while the latter was already rotting in decline and might collapse at any time.

Still, it was over ten thousand products; when they were transported back they occupied half a factory floor, and Li Chen immediately rented another factory without hesitation, which solved the urgent problem.

When the employees saw so many products they were stunned for a moment, but Jiang Wenyu promised them that once this work was finished everyone would get an extra bonus, which boosted their motivation.

The day after these things arrived, under Jiang Wenyu and Li Chen's careful calculation and planning, all employees immediately started work!

The company's factory began echoing with the sounds of work every day, continuing until eight or nine o'clock each night.

Another day passed—

"Phew, even though we acquired them all, this sum really isn't small — our company's reserve funds are almost used up; I'm telling you, are we really not going to lose money after this?"

Li Chen was still worried.

Jiang Wenyu, however, was perfectly calm and composed: "Rest easy — even if we don't profit, we absolutely won't lose; and after this the employees' skills will definitely improve on a large scale, so we can continue expanding operations then."

The company currently had a bit of a drop-in-the-bucket feel, but could still sustain itself; according to Jiang Wenyu and Li Chen's calculations, these 69,000 products would need at least several months to fully repair, and every one had to pass Jiang Wenyu's rigorous inspection.

Li Chen asked at this point: "Right, how do we sell them afterward? Before we only had small-scale products, but there are just too many of these — I've never done this before."

Jiang Wenyu smiled and said: "Don't worry, the sales plan has been ready for a long time."

His calculations were always extremely accurate; seeing him so confident, Li Chen's worries instantly vanished.

Over the next ten days, Miaoshou Jiang Electrical Appliance Company threw itself wholeheartedly into repairing those ten-thousand-plus products; Jiang Wenyu even personally joined the employees in repairs while conducting timely inspections — any substandard unit was immediately reworked — and in those full ten days not a single mistake appeared.

Precisely because of this matter, the company's usual recycling work temporarily decreased by more than half; after all, this counted as a major project.

Meanwhile, during this recent period Chema City underwent earth-shaking changes; many fairly well-off families finally installed telephones, and the whole city welcomed many outside workers who seemed prepared to renovate Chema City's streets and facilities — for a time the entire city became busy.

Wu Miaomiao, as the school principal and also a teacher, saw the teaching staff increase continuously with the Mayor's help; the learning environment for the first batch of children improved day by day, but she always wanted to cultivate the children's other interests, such as music and painting.

This evening, after the children had gone home, Wu Miaomiao sat alone in the principal's office thinking about these things, glancing from time to time at two small objects on the desk — a leaf and a flower, exquisitely made of some unknown material, very pretty — these two little things were brought to Wu Miaomiao by Chen Lan and Chen Na on Zhong Beiyue's behalf; every time she saw them she couldn't help thinking of that girl.

Just then, a knock came from outside the door; Wu Miaomiao withdrew her gaze and went out.

She opened the door; a somewhat familiar-looking woman stood there.

"Huh? I remember you're… Chen Na? Chen Lan's younger sister?"

The visitor was indeed Chen Na; she nodded slightly, then grew a bit solemn: "Does your school… still need teachers? I can sing and know some music theory and such — just wanted to ask if you lack this kind of teacher…"

She asked hesitantly, clearly unprepared, even a little nervous.

Back in Jianghai City, that kind of big city, Chen Na had seen many schools with music teacher positions; returning to Chema City she had no work, so she wondered if she could use her own ability to become a music teacher.

But she was entirely holding a try-it-out attitude; yet Wu Miaomiao was suddenly overjoyed, directly pulling Chen Na inside and saying: "Wonderful! I was just wondering whether to add a music class for the children to cultivate other hobbies, and you show up — wonderful!"

Wu Miaomiao and Chen Na weren't very close, but because the other was Chen Lan's sister she unconsciously felt a sense of kinship.

Wu Miaomiao's enthusiasm finally put Chen Na at ease, and she said: "That… I don't have a formal teaching certificate — is that okay?"
