"Did nothing and claims it's fixed!"
"Blowing smoke (bullshitting) as usual!"
"If this is called fixing, then I can do it too!"
Hearing Chen Jianghai's claim, everyone burst into laughter.
Xue Chunli also looked on with disdain, thinking to herself: This guy is just a lump of useless mud, completely giving up on himself!
Does he really think everyone is blind?
Xiao Dai laughed out loud, "Fixed? Do you think you're some kind of qigong master, repairing things from afar?"
"Brother Chen, you're not joking, right?"
Boss Jin also expressed his astonishment.
Chen Jianghai spoke calmly, "Boss Jin, no need to worry, you'll see once I turn on the TV."
After he finished speaking, he connected the power supply and turned on the color TV again.
The TV was playing the classic drama "Aspiration", and the colors on the screen had returned to normal.
Seeing this, Boss Jin couldn't help but give a thumbs up, genuinely praising, "It really is fixed! Brother Chen, your skill is indeed magical!"
Chen Jianghai responded modestly, "Brother, it was just a small issue. It's easy once you know what the problem is."
Was it truly fixed?
Xiao Dai was dumbfounded and couldn't figure out what had just happened.
The happiest person was Lin Wanqiu.
Chen Jianghai had proven his skills in front of everyone, so the next time her mother Xue Chunli brought up the issue of divorcing Chen Jianghai, she could outright oppose it.
"The TV is fixed, Boss Jin, I'll be heading back now!"
This was a trivial matter for Chen Jianghai, and naturally, he wouldn't charge for it. With a brief farewell, he turned to leave.
Boss Jin quickly stopped Chen Jianghai, "Brother Chen, don't rush off, there's still something unfinished here!"
Chen Jianghai shook his head, "Boss Jin, let it be, it's not necessary!"
After all, he was just a young man full of vigor.
His goal had been achieved, and there was no need to take things too seriously.
"How is it not necessary?" Boss Jin insisted, "These days, young folks don't have any real skills. They're all talk but no action. How can we let this slide?"
Finishing his words, Boss Jin addressed Xiao Dai, "The things you said earlier still stand, right? If you think your words are like farts, you can leave now."
Boss Jin's words put Xiao Dai in an awkward position, making it difficult for him to stay or leave.
In the end, Xiao Dai clenched his teeth and chose to apologize. He mumbled a sorry and scuttled away in defeat.
Watching his rapidly retreating figure, Boss Jin snorted disdainfully, then turned to Chen Jianghai with a smile, "Brother Chen, tell me, how did you do it?"
"It wasn't a big deal, just a magnet placed nearby causing the color distortion. Removing it fixed the issue," Chen Jianghai explained, pointing to the magnet on the side.
"Just like that? A magnet was the solution?"
Someone on the side asked, their tone filled with disbelief and skepticism.
Boss Jin immediately got upset, "What now? Playing the wise man after the event? Why didn't you step up to say something earlier? It's easy to say now, just remove a magnet!"
"If you didn't have the skill, would you know that removing this magnet would fix the color TV?"
His words silenced the person who had spoken earlier, causing them to hang their head in shame.
Chen Jianghai then smiled, "Boss Jin, that's all there is to it, I'll be off then."
"Alright, I owe you a meal someday," Boss Jin replied with a smile.
Chen Jianghai waved his hand, "No worries, it was nothing."
With that, he took Lin Wanqiu's hand and walked out.
At this moment, the way people looked at Chen Jianghai had changed; gone was the previous contempt and disdain, replaced by surprise and admiration.
In this era, a person with skills was always respected and esteemed.
"Jianghai, you are incredible!"
Upon returning home, Lin Wanqiu looked at Chen Jianghai with sparkling eyes, like a little fangirl, and said.
Chen Jianghai spoke lightly, "These are all minor issues, nothing worth mentioning as a skill."
"How can you say that?"
Lin Wanqiu immediately disagreed, "Others couldn't fix it, but you could, that's definitely a skill!"
Chen Jianghai touched his wife's hair and smiled, saying, "Right, right, right, you're absolutely right."
This scene was naturally witnessed by Lin Jianguo and Xue Chunli.
If they had doubts before, now the evidence was right before their eyes, and they couldn't help but believe it.
Lin Jianguo muttered quietly, "Wife, our son-in-law's skills seem to be really good!"
"Let's go home!"
Xue Chunli, huffing with anger, stormed off, not wanting to bring up this topic.
Lin Jianguo didn't dare linger and quickly followed her home.
Having been married for many years, Lin Jianguo knew Xue Chunli's temper very well.
Xue Chunli was currently furious, and it was definitely not the time to provoke her, or else he would be the one to suffer.
Lin Wanqing also witnessed the whole process, thinking that it couldn't be possible for so many people to be acting along with Chen Jianghai.
With this in mind, she couldn't hold back any longer and as soon as she stepped out the door, she said, "Mom, I'm going to town."
Xue Chunli couldn't help but ask, "What for? Is there an emergency?"
"No."
Lin Wanqing replied with a sentence, "Just to make a phone call."
Hearing this, Xue Chunli turned and shouted, "Old Lin, what are you standing around for? Hurry up and call a car for Wanqing."
Poor Lin Jianguo didn't dare to say anything, just obediently responded and hurried out to call a car.
"Daughter, what's the matter exactly?" Xue Chunli asked worriedly, seeing Lin Wanqing's anxious demeanor.
Lin Wanqing forced a smile and comforted her, "Mom, don't worry, it's just some business matters."
"Really?" Xue Chunli was still not reassured.
Lin Wanqing nodded, "Mom, don't worry, I'll be back once I'm done with the call."
"How about... letting your dad go with you?" Xue Chunli suggested.
Lin Wanqing did not refuse and nodded, "Okay."
If Lin Jianguo didn't accompany her, Xue Chunli would definitely worry.
"Alright then, go and come back early." Xue Chunli was a bit more at ease.
Lin Wanqing smiled, "Mom, we'll be back soon, don't worry too much."
Xue Chunli waved her hand, "Okay, I know."
Before long, Lin Jianguo called a tricycle.
"Wanqing, the car is here, the car is here!"
Hearing the shouting outside, Chen Jianghai and Lin Wanqiu also went out.
"Dad, why did you call a car?" Lin Wanqiu asked with surprise.
Wasn't she told not to go today?
Lin Jianguo knew that his second daughter had misunderstood and quickly explained, "It's your sister; she's going to town."
"Sister, what are you going to do?"
Lin Wanqiu asked with some confusion.
Lin Wanqing glanced at Chen Jianghai and then said, "I just remembered some business matters that need to be dealt with."
"Will you come back?" Lin Wanqiu asked again.
Lin Wanqing smiled, "Of course, it's just a phone call."
Hearing Lin Wanqing say this, Xue Chunli and Lin Wanqiu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alright, don't delay, go and come back soon." Xue Chunli urged, "Old Lin, you go with Wanqing."
"Okay." Lin Jianguo didn't dare to upset Xue Chunli at this point and quickly nodded in agreement.
Watching Lin Wanqing leave in a hurry, a trace of worry appeared in Xue Chunli's eyes.
