Age: Passionate youth, starting from graduation assignment

Chapter 259: Warm and fragrant nephrite, all in my arms

"Not bad, I can think of this level."

"I wish you a prosperous business and I will promote it to you later."

"Then...thank you."

Chen Xiaoen showed a cute smile, with white teeth slightly exposed under her cherry red lips, "I'll ask you if there's anything you don't understand about me later."

"Thank you, I'm also a shareholder in it."

Xu Jichang said lightly, deeply admiring Chen Xiaoen's spirit.

Like her, many old overseas Chinese started from small businesses and eventually became rich.

After the reform, most of the famous entrepreneurs were engaged in piecemeal business at first, and finally established their next business.

Chen Xiaoen's family situation is so good, and he is willing to engage in a humble business like repairing electrical appliances. With this motivation alone, it will be difficult for him not to make a fortune in the future.

……

From that day on, Chen Xiaoen would read this book while in the office, take notes from time to time, and learn about electrical repairs.

Xu Jichang saw this in his eyes and deliberately did not give her much work, and tried his best to do the work himself.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, so I will try my best to support Chen Xiaoen wherever I can.

"I feel like I've learned almost enough."

A few days later, after work in the afternoon, Chen Xiaoen, who had finished studying, said to Xu Jichang, "I have negotiated with the neighborhood committee and they are willing to give me a place."

"I'm going to set up the maintenance point this Sunday."

These days, many entrepreneurs and part-time workers use weekends to do their work.In Chen Xiaoen's hometown, there is also a saying about Sunday Engineers, that is, engineers from state-owned factories take trains to private factories in neighboring cities on weekends to instruct technology, stay for a day and then come back.

Someone like Chen Xiaoen should be considered a Sunday maintenance worker?

Xu Jichang thought to himself.

"Okay, it just so happens that my radio is broken. I will contribute some orders to you then."

He smiled and said to Chen Xiaoen, "By the way, where is your maintenance point?"

"No. 12, Nanluoguxiang Hutong."

Chen Xiaoen said, "I plan to make a sign. You can see it when you enter the small courtyard of the neighborhood committee."

"The location is well chosen and the population is large."

Xu Jichang admitted, "I'll go find you early on Sunday morning."

Electrical appliance repair is a livelihood requirement, so building it in a high-end residential area will lead to sparse passenger flow.

It is actually easier to build it in an alley where ordinary citizens live together.

On Sunday morning, Xu Jichang went to Nanluogu Lane carrying the radio that was damaged by Kapok last time.

It's very cold in winter, and white air comes out of people's nostrils when they breathe.

However, after arriving at Chen Xiaoen's repair shop, Xu Jichang suddenly felt relieved.

The scene was crowded with people, and there was a long queue in front of the repair shop.There were men, women, and children among them, and almost everyone was carrying a bag containing electrical appliances that needed to be repaired.

In front of the crowd was Chen Xiaoen sitting behind the table.

She was usually dressed fashionably in a worker's uniform, holding a screwdriver in one hand and someone else's 9-inch black-and-white TV in the other hand, and was debugging it, with a serious expression on her beautiful face.

Many people at the back of the queue were waiting impatiently, but there was no urging or complaining, and they were all lining up honestly.

The popularity of this business is beyond expectation.

Xu Jichang couldn't help but was speechless, and she was very puzzled: Even if people currently lack channels to repair electrical appliances, it would take some time for her to start a business.

Looking at the current situation, Chen Xiaoen does not look like he has opened a new store, but like he has been opening it for a long time and has accumulated a good reputation.

I stood behind the crowd and waited, and soon it was Xu Jichang's turn.

When Chen Xiaoen saw Xu Jichang, a smile appeared on his face: "Why don't you come to me? I can just put a stopper on you."

"No, no, just wait in line, I don't want to disrupt the order here."

Xu Jichang said, taking out the radio from his bag and handing it to Chen Xiaoen, "Look, the radio is broken and there is no sound. See how much it costs to repair it."

Chen Xiaoen took the radio and picked up a screwdriver to debug it. He was as familiar as an old repairman: "There is a problem with the circuit inside. Let me fix it for you."

Chen Xiaoen didn't mention the repair fee, but Xu Jichang couldn't refuse to pay it.

Today is her first day of business, and traditionally there is no exemption.

"how much is the total?"

Xu Jichang asked.

"Just a dime."

Chen Xiaoen understood what Xu Jichang meant, so he didn't insist. After all, it was just a small amount of money.

"okay."

Xu Jichang took out a coin from his pocket and put it on Chen Xiaoen's table, "I wish you a prosperous business every day in the future like today."

"Most definitely."

Chen Xiaoen pursed his lips and smiled, with two cute dimples on his face, and his crescent-shaped eyes full of confidence.

Xu Jichang actually wanted to ask Chen Xiaoen how he achieved such a high customer flow on the first day of opening.

It's just that this may involve Chen Xiaoen's business secrets, and there were so many people waiting to fix things, so he didn't ask in public.

After a few words with Chen Xiaoen, Xu Jichang turned and left. Before leaving, he looked back at the crowds of people in the yard.

I made the right investment when I invested in her.

If this trend continues, it might be another profitable business.

……

The next morning, Chen Xiaoen was late for work.

Xu Jichang looked at Chen Xiaoen's somewhat blackened smoke ring and understood that she must have been busy late last night trying to repair it.

"I didn't sleep well."

Xu Jichang not only did not blame her, but took the initiative to show concern, "I don't have much work today. When no one comes to report to me, you can lie down on the table and take a nap."

Chen Xiaoen nodded slightly weakly, and as soon as he reached his seat, he lay down and fell asleep without being polite.

Sleepy, really sleepy.

There were so many people looking for Chen Xiaoen to repair electrical appliances yesterday.She was busy at the maintenance site until evening. She took the unfinished work home before getting off work and repaired until four o'clock before going to bed.

This is indeed challenging Chen Xiaoen's physical limit.

Xu Jichang looked at Chen Xiaoen sleeping with her head buried, and felt a little distressed for a moment: She could have been peaceful and content, being her own eldest lady in Shanghai, but she chose this path.

From this perspective, Chen Xiaoen should be the most ambitious of all the women he has ever met, no less ambitious than Li Wanru.

At noon, Xu Jichang did not go to the canteen to eat, but went out to eat.

On the way, he met You Qingxia who was walking forward happily.

I saw You Qingxia wearing bright clothes, and her face full of classical beauty looked several years younger against the backdrop of the new clothes.

The graceful and graceful figure created by practicing dance for many years has been fully displayed, even though it is still winter.

"Jichang, are you going to eat?"

You Qingxia also saw Xu Jichang and stopped with a shy smile, but did not come to meet him.

Even after these two years of getting along, You Qingxia still resisted Xu Jichang and was always embarrassed to be too proactive.

What Xu Jichang likes most is You Qingxia's shyness that is engraved in her bones.

"Yes, are you going to buy clothes?"

Xu Jichang also stopped and asked her from a distance. "Yes. There are so many styles of clothes here, I'm almost spoiled for choice."

When You Qingxia mentioned buying clothes, her peach blossom eyes immediately filled with energy, and she walked up to Xu Jichang in a few steps, "I'm planning to buy a new wardrobe to put my clothes in."

"Did the salary go into it again?"

Xu Jichang chuckled.

You Qingxia lowered her eyes in shame: "Fortunately, I left 15 yuan for food."

"Pfft, you're so embarrassed. For 15 yuan, you'll be so anxious if anything happens."

Xu Jichang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Taking advantage of the fact that he was far away from the unit and there were no acquaintances around, he took out a wad of banknotes from his pocket and handed them to You Qingxia without counting them: "Take it."

"Also, are you renting a house now?"

You Qingxia nodded: "Yes, Yuqing and I rented a small house together."

"It will be inconvenient to move in the future if you rent a house and buy so many clothes."

Xu Jichang shook his head and said, "You go to see the house in two days."

"If anyone likes it, tell me and I'll buy it for you."

He actually wants to buy himself a house?
You Qingxia couldn't believe her ears: This is not a small sum of money!

Xu Jichang really wants to treat him so well.

Surprised, You Qingxia shook her head instinctively: "Better... let's forget it. The place I rent now is pretty good."

"Yuqing and I are saving together. In the future, we, mother and daughter, can buy it ourselves, so you don't have to spend so much money..."

Xu Jichang smiled: "Saving money? With your enthusiasm for buying clothes, it would be nice if you don't have a lot of debt."

"Don't talk so much nonsense and go see the house. No matter how expensive it is, I will accept it."

You Qingxia was still hesitant in her heart, but subconsciously she was conquered by Xu Jichang's domineering attitude.

As soon as I asked, I wanted to buy a house for Xianghao, and it was still in the capital...

How many men in the world can match this level of courage?

"You're so good to me, aren't you afraid that one day you'll be beaten like a chicken and a flying egg?"

You Qingxia secretly looked at Xu Jichang and muttered.

"Don't be afraid, you can't live without me."

At this time, the two of them had walked into a small alley where there was no one around. Xu Jichang casually slapped You Qingxia on her buttocks.

Well, it's still as straight and straight as when we first met, and it feels great in the hand.

You Qingxia did not refute, blushing and saying nothing.

Xu Jichang had promised to buy her a house, so naturally she had to make concessions.

After all, You Qingxia just buys clothes without restraint and takes things for granted occasionally. She is not completely beautiful and brainless.

……

After getting off work in the evening, Xu Jichang did not go home after thinking about it. Instead, he found Chen Xiaoen and wanted to go with Chen Xiaoen to her rented place.

"I don't have anywhere to stay, so you'd better not go."

In the office, Chen Xiaoen shook his head and said, with a bit of embarrassment on his face.

"I'm just here to help you repair your electrical appliances."

Xu Jichang insisted, "Besides, there is no place to work. This is called labor glory."

Chen Xiaoen couldn't defeat Xu Jichang, so she had to take him back to the small courtyard where he rented.

Indeed, as Chen Xiaoen said, this small courtyard with only two rooms has been filled with electrical appliances sent for repair, leaving only a narrow road for people to pass.

"The yard has not been repaired. Once it is repaired, it will be packed and stored in the house."

Chen Xiaoen pointed at these seemingly messy radios and small TV channels, "I put labels on each one to prevent confusion."

"By the end of this week, I have to fix them all and return them to the customers."

Xu Jichang saw the labels on the electrical appliances and nodded in affirmation: "It seems messy, but it's actually quite organized."

"But you have to put a roof over the yard to protect it from rain and snow."

"Yes. It's just that it's a bit difficult to contact people from construction companies. They usually only take jobs from state-owned units."

When Chen Xiaoen said this, he shook his head and sighed, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

"That's easy to handle. I'll just contact you."

"Anyway, the weather forecast is full of sunshine these two days, so it shouldn't be a big problem."

Xu Jichang gently hugged Chen Xiaoen's shoulders and comforted him, "Let's work quickly and repair as much as we can."

After that, he and Chen Xiaoen picked up an electrical appliance from the ground, carried it into the house, and began to repair it intensively.

……

The two of them were busy until midnight. Next to the seats were radios and tape recorders that they had repaired but had not yet had time to pack.

Xu Jichang was busy working in front of a fourteen-inch black and white TV, which was considered a large-sized TV in this era.

Chen Xiaoen, on the other hand, was so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes. He relied solely on willpower to continue working.

Xu Jichang knew that her physical strength was not as good as his, so he gently comforted her: "Go to sleep, you didn't sleep well last night."

Chen Xiaoen half-closed his eyes and shook his head: "No... I can do it for a while longer."

But before she finished speaking, she closed her eyes and fell to the side.

Xu Jichang quickly put down the screwdriver and hugged him.

At this time, most of his field of vision was occupied by Chen Xiaoen's beautiful face, and from the corner of his eye, he could still see the towering mountains under her white sweater.

The warm and fragrant breath of her body had penetrated Xu Jichang's nostrils long ago, as if she was teasing him.

Experiencing such an erotic scene in the middle of the night, Xu Jichang was somewhat unable to control himself.

Of course, he quickly suppressed the desire in his heart, picked up Chen Xiaoen and walked into her boudoir, placed her gently on the bed, took off her pants and covered her with a quilt.

Go to sleep, go to sleep, and work alone for a while longer.

Xu Jichang looked at Chen Xiaoen's quiet and beautiful face and said in his heart.

After leaving the boudoir and returning to the place where the two of them worked previously, Xu Jichang picked up the screwdriver and electric pen to continue repairing the black and white TV.

This is a big deal.

It costs a dime to repair a radio and a dollar to repair a 14-inch TV, which is less than a day's salary of an ordinary worker.

The structure of televisions these days is different from that of later generations. It is composed of countless transistors and is much bulkier and bulkier.

Fortunately, when Xu Jichang went to the mountains to live in a hunter's cabin, he would carry a small TV like this with him and accumulate a lot of experience in repairing it.

I saw that he was familiar with the job, and it didn't take long to find the fault in the TV, repair it, and reassemble it.

Then, another tape recorder...

Xu Jichang was busy beside the desk for an unknown amount of time. Finally he rubbed his sore eyes and looked out at the yard through the window.

The things that were repaired before, plus the ones that were repaired tonight, are only one-third complete.

It would be too heavy a burden to rely on Chen Xiaoen alone to complete this task.

From now on, I will come to her place every night and help him repair it.

Xu Jichang thought to himself.

No one understands love and care better than him.
