After his afternoon nap, Cheng Xu rubbed his eyes as he prepared dinner.
"Why do I feel like I'm just eating and sleeping, and eating again?"
He opened the refrigerator with a dazed look. There seemed to be nothing in it except for two wilted cabbage leaves.
"I have to go grocery shopping tomorrow. I'll just have some instant noodles."
Cheng Xu looked at the last packet of pickled cabbage noodles in the box in the corner and shook his head again.
The last time he ate it, he always felt that there was a stinky smell to it. He did not know if it was because his various senses had become more sensitive.
Unlocking his phone and opening the food delivery app, Cheng Xu, who had already grown into a 10,000 yuan household, decided to be extravagant.
The food he ordered was just enough to balance today's dinner and tomorrow's breakfast, saving him a lot of trouble.
Cheng Xu looked at the express delivery message again and found that the watch would arrive tomorrow. He wondered if Mr. Xu would be satisfied.
...
"Chairman Xu, there's a delivery for you. I've placed it on your desk."
"Alright, you can go back to your work."
Of course, Xu Qing also had his own company, but he was also an idle person. He was too lazy to handle most of the affairs himself.
He entered the company at 10 am, made a cup of tea, fed the fish, and admired the watches on the shelf. After that, it was time for lunch.
When he saw the address on the box, Xu Qing felt that it looked familiar. However, he did not forget about that watch. That thing would not be repaired so quickly.
It was not until he unwrapped the outer packaging and saw the familiar box that Xu Qing finally understood what efficiency was.
With a little nervousness and anticipation, he slowly opened the box and took out the watch. Then, he fell into a deep confusion.
"This is my watch? Why does this thing look so new?"
Fortunately, one of the watches had a factory number, which many manufacturers liked to make to show the rarity of the product and sell it for more money.
After repeatedly confirming the number behind the watch, Xu Qing finally believed that this was his watch. Xu Qing's hands trembled as he opened the other box...
At the office, people were talking.
"Why do I get the feeling that someone is swearing? It seems to have come from Chairman Xu's office."
"Hey, I think I heard it too. It does sound like Chairman Xu's voice."
"Don't be ridiculous. Chairman Xu is usually so elegant and easy-going. How could he say something like that? Focus on your work."
...
"The original glass window is intact, and it's also the original dial, but how is this possible?!"
Xu Qing knew the level of oxidation on the watch before. His expectations for the watch had been low.
But now, the slightly muddled window of the watch had become crystal clear.
Xu Qing would not be surprised if it was a new window, but it would reduce the collection value of the watch.
However, the mirror's craftsmanship, edge, slope, and refractive index clearly indicated that this was the original window.
Xu Qing held a magnifying glass and carefully appriased the two watches, constantly letting out gasps of admiration.
"Mr. Cheng… He's really attentive."
On the other side, Cheng Xu had already received the transfer from Xu Qing. It was 6,000 yuan.
"Mr. Cheng, you're a true master. You could repair the watch I sent to you to this extent in such a short time," said Xu Qing.
Cheng Xu replied, "It's my duty to give my best to someone who has entrusted me with this task. This is what I should do."
"You must have worked hard during this period of time. I added another 1,000 yuan to the original fee for you to nourish your body."
Cheng Xu now understood why he was paid six thousand and not five thousand.
Cheng Xu replied, "Yes, I received it, thank you."
Xu Qing did not give him an extra 1,000 yuan because he had too much money to burn. One of the reasons was that the value of the two watches had greatly exceeded his expectations after Cheng Xu had repaired and cleaned them.
On one hand, it was to get on Cheng Xu's good side. A top collector like him would definitely need Cheng Xu a lot in the future.
After making the payment, Xu Qing immediately began to show off his watch in the group.

Feng Gu: [Don't you already have the collector's edition of that old watch? Where did you get this new stuff?]
All Rivers Run into the Sea: [Xu, you got something good again?]
Gentle Breeze: [That's right, this is the watch. I asked a craftsman to fix it for me.]
Feng Gu: [Who?! The one who sold you the collector's edition Gibbon on the internet?]
Gentle Breeze: [
Feng Gu: [Really? I've seen your watch; how could it be repaired to this state?]
Gentle Breeze: [If you don't believe me, come over and see for yourself.
Cheng Xu still did not know that it would not be long before his WeChat account would be flooded with messages from more customers who wanted to repair watches.
"I'm only missing 4,000 yuan. Mr. Wang said he was here to deliver the goods today. Why isn't he here yet? "
After checking his assets, Cheng Xu realized that 100 grams of gold, which he had thought was out of his reach, seemed to almost be in his grasp.
Perhaps Mr. Wang had felt Cheng Xu's urging, but less than two minutes after he finished speaking, the sound of a car horn came from outside the courtyard.
When he opened the door, it was indeed the familiar Wuling MINIEV. Fortunately, it was this particular car, otherwise his yard would not be able to fit it.
As soon as Mr. Wang got out of the car, he saw the two cars in the courtyard. He could not help but raise his eyebrows, but he did not ask much.
"Mr. Cheng, we meet again."
Mr. Wang walked over to Cheng Xu with a big smile on his face, and the two shook hands.
It was as if he was meeting an old friend of many years. No one would be able to guess that he had used the copper plate to trick Cheng Xu when they first met.
"Hello, Mr. Wang. It's not easy for you to do everything on your own with such a big business."
Naturally, Cheng Xu acted as if nothing had happened. This was how business was. Profits came first, and these things could be put aside.
This time, Mr. Wang did not bring out the goods immediately. Instead, he planned to have a good talk with Cheng Xu.
Cheng Xu also understood his meaning and immediately led Mr. Wang into the house.
He made some tea for Mr. Wang. Although Cheng Xu did not have the habit of drinking tea, he still had to keep some at home.
Cheng Xu's small room was a little cramped, and the tea leaves were not of a high quality either. Mr. Wang was too lazy to beat around the bush and directly started talking about business.
"Mr. Cheng, the cooperation between us and the alchemy workshop below will be run in this manner. I will provide the materials, and then we will set a quantity according to the purity we determine." Mr. Wang took a sip of tea and continued, "You can also judge the amount we set. If you think it's appropriate, you can take this batch of goods and refine it for me. The excess gold will be yours."
"What if I don't think it's suitable?"
