Hearing this middle school boy's remarks, Qi Fan couldn't help but chuckle: "Moral kidnapping is useless. I don't have your high level of awareness!"

Watching her gradually walk away, Ye Shiliu, thinking of a last-ditch effort, shouted, "You don't have the money for treatment! Purification officers are paid very well!"

“…”

Qi Mi didn't expect that she would experience social failure twice within an hour. Seeing that everyone around her was looking at her strangely, she stopped and turned to smile at Ye Shiliu.

Ye Shiliu thought she had changed her mind and ran over happily.

As a result, just when he was halfway through running, he heard her say softly: "Boy, if you say one more word, I will beat you up, do you believe it?"

Ye Shiliu hurriedly braked the car: "?"

During the time he was standing there in a daze, wondering if he had heard correctly, Qi Mi had already disappeared into the hustle and bustle of traffic with her three children.

Soon, Qi Mi stood at the door of a repair shop.

There is a prominent recruitment notice posted above the store entrance.

[Xiu De Hao Repair Shop is hiring!]

Now hiring a skilled repairman, charged by piece.

Small items are 5 yuan, medium items are 20 yuan, large items are 50 yuan, and oversized items are 200 yuan.

Check out on the same day, get a discounted price! 】

Although it is not clearly written above what these large, medium and small parts are, Qi fans are still quite confident in their ability to repair them.

Moreover, this store allows same-day checkout, which feels reliable.

She knocked on the door, opened it a crack, and peeked in. "Excuse me, are you still hiring maintenance guys?"

The man sitting at the counter, wearing a loupe, was probably repairing some delicate equipment. He looked up at the voice, looked Qi Mi and the three children up and down, and raised an eyebrow. "Are you applying for a job?"

"Yeah, I can fix things." Qi Mi pushed the door open and walked in with the three children.

"Wait a minute! Stand there and don't move!"

The uncle quickly raised his hand to stop them, then took off his loupe and looked at them carefully. He looked left and right, but he couldn't see that this girl was someone who could fix things, especially with three children. Everything here was stuff people had sent in for repair, and if anything was broken, they would have to pay for it.

It was obvious that Qi Mi was looking at him with curved eyebrows, and the uncle didn't want to directly offend her. After clearing his throat, he found a rabbit ornament with a broken ear on the table and handed it to her: "Here's how it is, girl, don't blame me for my old eyesight and poor recognition. First, try to see if you can fix this little thing. If you can, you can stay and work. If you can't even fix this, you'd better turn right and go home."

"Okay!" Qi Mi agreed immediately. After taking the rabbit figurine, he squatted at the door with a small toolbox to repair it.

This is indeed the simplest item to repair. The ceramic rabbit has a broken ear. All you need to do is glue the broken ear firmly and let it dry.

With the help of his skills, Qi's fans not only reshaped the broken ear in minutes, but also made it fit so tightly that there was no trace of damage, making it look like a new one.

The uncle took it, held it in his hand, and observed it back and forth with a loupe, with surprise flashing in his eyes: "Quick and accurate, better than my repair. Hey, not bad, not bad, girl, you can stay and work, but I have to tell you something, you have to keep an eye on the children with you, if..."

"If something is broken, I have to pay for it, right? Don't worry, I know these little guys are very well-behaved and will never touch anything randomly." Qi Mi winked at the children, and the three children immediately nodded in understanding, promising not to touch anything randomly.

The uncle hummed, raised his finger and pointed to an empty table and chair by the wall, indicating that Qi Mi should go to work over there. After thinking for a while, he added: "Children can go to the sofa and wait. Remember not to touch it."

Qi Mi thanked him, took the children to the side, and made proper arrangements for them before returning to the work area.

A piece of paper on the workbench lists the specific categories of large, medium and small objects.

Small objects refer to those things that are small in size and do not involve any circuits at all. They rely purely on physical mechanical repairs, similar to the little rabbit ornament just now, or the Rubik's Cube puppet.

The objects in the game may involve slightly more complex small circuits, such as remote-controlled toy cars and singing dolls.

Large items refer to small household appliances, such as electric shavers, hand warmers, electric kettles, etc.

Oversized items refer to large household appliances such as televisions and washing machines.

Qi Mi walked around the store and decided to choose a large item that cost more money.

However, as soon as she stood in the area of ​​old large household appliances, she heard the uncle's voice: "Girl, girl, why don't you find some cheap little things to fix it? If you break one of these, the compensation will be thousands of dollars."

"It's okay, I can do it." Qi Mi replied without raising his head, and placed a computer LCD monitor on the work table over there.

The uncle was trembling with fear. Paying money was a small matter, but if his "well-repaired" sign was destroyed, it would be no joke.

He didn't even have time to put down the things in his hands, and hurried over to persuade him: "Girl, don't be fooled by the high cost of this big thing, it's difficult to repair, just leave it to me, you can handle the small things, if you work quickly, you can make a lot of money."

"It's okay, boss. I can really do it." Qi Mi smiled at him and turned to get the toolbox.

The uncle thought to himself, "You can do it, but I can't." He chased after him and said, "What if you break it and destroy my sign?"

Qi Mi paused and said seriously, "How about this, if I don't fix it, I'll just stand at the door and say that I fixed the LCD screen, and that this store and you, the boss, have nothing to do with it, okay?"

"That's what you said!"

"Yes, I did."

Qi Mi sat back in his seat.

Having said that, the uncle didn't know what to say. Seeing her confident look, he wanted to see how capable this little girl was. So he put his hands behind his back, stopped working, and just stood beside her and watched.

Qi Mi picked up the screwdriver and immediately immersed himself in the work state. He didn't care whether there was anyone watching. He nimbly opened the back cover of the LCD screen, took a glance to find the broken part, and then picked up the solder to repair it.

At first, the uncle's face was still full of disdain, but after a minute... and five minutes... he saw Qi Mi repair the broken part neatly and installed the back cover in no time, and his eyes were immediately filled with surprise.

Qi Fan turned on the switch, and the image on the LCD screen, which had been unable to even be turned on, immediately became clear.

The uncle was shocked. With his many years of experience in repairs, it was still impossible for him to repair an LCD screen in ten minutes. He didn't expect that this girl would... She was really a true person who never showed her true colors!

Qi Mi looked at the uncle's expression and knew that he was convinced. He put the repaired LCD screen back to the repair area and prepared to pick out another broken washing machine.

At this moment, the uncle suddenly blocked her way and asked: "Girl, can you repair a watch?"

She was stunned: "I don't know, I haven't repaired it."

"Why don't you come over and try it?" The uncle waved to her and led her to the counter.

According to the uncle's recollection, this watch was sent to him for repair by an old woman two months ago. It was a token of love between her and her husband. The watch broke several years ago. The old woman found it while cleaning the house some time ago and wanted to repair it. On their wedding anniversary, she wanted to wear the repaired watch on her husband's wrist.

The old woman asked several repair shops at the base, and finally only the uncle agreed to help her repair it after listening to her story.

But the uncle overestimated his ability. The watch was too badly damaged, and some parts were rusted. He couldn't fix it at all. Although he would take out the watch to repair it in his free time every day, he had not made any progress so far.

The uncle didn't want to disappoint the old woman. He couldn't fix it anyway, so seeing that Qi Mi had some talent for repairs, he thought of letting her try.

Qi Mi carefully picked up the watch and looked at it carefully.

It was a very ordinary old-fashioned watch. Most of the dial was covered with rust and the bracelet was also quite worn. It was indeed not easy to repair.

Although she had never repaired such delicate things, she always felt that repairing things should be easy to do and should not be a problem.

She sat down at the counter at the entrance, put on her loupe, and carefully used tweezers to peel off the parts.

The uncle walked around for a while and had nothing to do, so he took the kettle and went to the small tea room at the back of the store.

Not long after, the shop door was pushed open and a cool breeze blew in.

Qi Mi fiddled with his watch without even looking up. The next second, he heard a strange man's voice above his head: "Where is the owner of this store?"

She looked up and found that the other person was dressed the same as Ye Shiliu, a black suit, a white shirt and a sky blue tie. He should also be a purification officer of the base.

The only difference was the five-pointed star brooch on his chest. This man had two, while Ye Shiliu only had one.

Perhaps he heard the voice, and without waiting for Qi Mi to answer, the uncle immediately poked his head out of the tea room and waved to the man: "Sir, I'm here. I'll boil some hot water for you."

The man hummed, glanced at Qi Mi lightly, and walked to the back of the store carrying the black suitcase.

The uncle exchanged a few words with him with a smile on his face, then led him to a dark and narrow room on the side of the store.

Qi Mi took a curious look and continued to work on his tasks.

After a while, she realized something was wrong.

Although the story behind this watch is touching, she won't make any money if she can't repair it in a short time. With this time, she can repair large items worth hundreds of dollars.

The more Qi Mi thought about it, the more he felt that it was not worth it, so he put the watch aside and returned to the oversized item area, ready to earn a thousand yuan first.

She was so absorbed in her meditation that when she came to her senses, she heard the three children yawning.

I took out my phone and checked. It was almost 11 o'clock. I still hadn't found a place to stay for tonight, so I couldn't waste any more time here.

Qi Mi quickly washed his hands and counted the major items that needed to be repaired tonight. There were seven in total, which should be exactly one thousand four hundred yuan.

The uncle and the man had not come out of the small dark room yet, so she had no choice but to go over and knock on the door.

As a result, after knocking twice, the door was opened a crack by the man, and he said to her in a cold tone: "Get out!"

After saying that, he slammed the door shut.

Qi Fan was inexplicably turned away, and suppressing his anger, he knocked twice more vigorously: "Boss, come out and pay the bill, boss!"

brush!

The moment the door opened again, a cold long knife was pressed against her throat.

Through the crack in the door, the man revealed a bloodshot eye: "I told you to get out, don't you understand what I'm saying?"
