Shen Qiqi walked briskly towards the telecommunications bureau at the entrance of the village, with a small flame of hope burning in her heart.
She pushed open the slightly old wooden door, and it creaked open with a tremor of anticipation.
The light in the bureau was not very bright, and the air was filled with the smell of old machines, which complemented the atmosphere of this era.
Telecom operator Zhang was busy sorting out a bunch of wires. When he heard the noise, he looked up and saw that it was Shen Qiqi. A hint of doubt flashed across his face, and then turned into a helpless bitter smile. The expression on his face was almost as if the three words "Please spare me" were written on it.
"I say, Third Daughter-in-law Shen, what are you doing...?" Telecommander Zhang's tone was somewhat helpless, and he put down the thread in his hand. He knew that the Third Daughter-in-law of the Lu family was not the kind of person who wandered around for nothing. She was probably here for the village network issue again.
"Uncle Zhang, am I not here to see you again? The Internet speed in our village is as slow as an old ox pulling a cart. What should we do?" Shen Qiqi got straight to the point without any hesitation. She didn't want to play the "Guess what I'm here for" game with Telecom Operator Zhang.
Telecom operator Zhang sighed. He knew very well what the network situation was like in the village. It was simply a snail's pace.
He rubbed his brows, his tone filled with deep powerlessness: "Mrs. Shen San, it's not that I don't want to help. You know, in our small place, the telecommunications bureau has so few resources. There are too many monks and too little porridge. Even a good cook can hardly cook without rice! Upgrading the network is not that easy. This is really not something I can decide."
Telecom operator Zhang spread his hands as he spoke, with an expression that said, "I can't do it," as if silently expressing his helplessness.
The air around suddenly became heavy. The atmosphere that was originally full of hope was instantly poured a bucket of cold water by reality and cooled down instantly.
Shen Qiqi frowned, she knew very well that without a good network, her e-commerce plan would be like a tree without roots and water without a source, and it would be impossible to implement it.
She was unwilling to accept this, absolutely unwilling to be stuck because of network problems!
Shen Qiqi didn't say anything, but just pursed her lips tightly, her eyes as sharp as an eagle. She was thinking about her next move at a rapid pace.
"But..." Shen Qiqi paused, then looked up at Telecom Operator Zhang and said meaningfully, "Really, is there no other way?"
"Really? Is there no other way?" Shen Qiqi's voice was soft, but resounding, like a pebble dropped into a calm lake, stirring up ripples.
Telecom operator Zhang looked at Shen Qiqi's determined eyes and couldn't help but waver a little.
After returning home, Shen Qiqi looked completely wilted, like an eggplant hit by frost.
She slumped in the chair, staring at the teacup in front of her with a sad face. She didn't drink a sip even though the tea was completely cold.
Without a good network, her e-commerce plan would be like a castle in the air, visible but intangible.
The feeling of anxiety was like an invisible net, surrounding her tightly.
Lu Qing saw it and felt pain in his heart, but he could only sit beside her silently and give her silent company.
"Is there really no other way?" Shen Qiqi muttered to herself, scratching her hair irritably.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind and she jumped up from her chair, "Wait! I remember reading a report before that said we can use some old equipment to optimize the network..." She seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and excitedly spoke her ideas, her speech as fast as a machine gun, "Yes! We can try this!" The atmosphere of excitement instantly spread in the room, as if dispelling the previous haze.
Shen Qiqi immediately took action. She rummaged through boxes and cabinets to find some old electronic components and studied them carefully like an archaeologist.
Lu Qing looked at her busy figure,
The next morning, Shen Qiqi took the treasure she had "finded" and rushed to the telecommunications bureau again.
Telecom operator Zhang looked at the "antiques" in her hands, looking confused, "Mrs. Shen San, are you... going to open a museum?"
Shen Qiqi smiled mysteriously, "Uncle Zhang, just wait and see!" She placed the old equipment on the table and began to explain her plan incessantly.
At first, Telecom Operator Zhang was skeptical, but as Shen Qiqi explained, his expression gradually changed from surprise to delight...
"This...is this really possible?"
Shen Qiqi raised her eyebrows confidently, "Just try it and you'll know!"
Lu Qing grabbed Shen Qiqi’s hand, his eyes as firm as a rock: “Qiqi She held Lu Qing’s hand in return, and an indescribable emotion surged in her heart.
"Uncle Zhang, relying solely on the power of the Telecommunications Bureau is a drop in the bucket! We have to mobilize the power of the masses!" Shen Qiqi's words were shocking. Telecommunications operator Zhang was stunned when he heard it, and his mouth was so wide open that an egg could fit in it.
"Mobilize the masses? How?"
Shen Qiqi smiled slyly: "Hehe, the mountain people have their own clever ideas! There must be a lot of people in our village who have some discarded electronic devices at home. Instead of letting them gather dust, why not recycle them? Maybe they can be put to good use!"
This idea was like dropping a bomb on a calm lake, instantly causing a thousand waves.
Telecommander Zhang was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped. He had lived for most of his life, but this was the first time he had heard of such an operation.
The villagers found it even more novel and were talking to each other.
"This...will this work? Can those antiques still be used?" Telecommander Zhang's face was full of doubt.
Shen Qiqi patted her chest confidently: "Uncle Zhang, don't worry! I promise that as long as everyone works together, the network speed of our village will definitely soar!" As she spoke, she also made a rocket launch gesture with her hands, making everyone laugh.
