While the two were chatting, a woman in a white down jacket walked in.
The woman was somewhat similar to Shen Wu, about 163cm tall, with a face that looked smart and capable.
As soon as he entered the store, he joked, "Talking about customers behind their backs is not a good habit."
Her name is Shen Yan, Shen Wu’s biological sister.
She opened this store, and Shen Wu and his wife are partners.
Chen Yan provided the capital, and Shen Wu and his wife provided the manpower and technology, and they split the profits in half.
"Let's discuss it. I didn't say anything bad."
"Is Yifan feeling better?" Chen Chuan asked without raising his head.
"My fever went away last night. Sigh, the flu is so terrible. My fever was over 40 degrees Celsius. I was so scared that I didn't dare to sleep well for several days."
Shen Yan came to sit in front of the computer, with a bit of fatigue in her eyes.
She married here. Her husband is Chen Yuan, who works at the Water Conservancy Bureau. He is an honest and hardworking man, and the couple loves each other very much.
The two have been married for seven years and have a son who is now in the first grade of elementary school.
Zou Xiaoxiao said, "Sister, why did you let him go to school today? I think he should be observed at home for two more days."
"He'll be fine once the fever goes away. I saw he looked good today, so I sent him to school. When it comes to studying, you can't just give up after a few days."
Shen Yan looked at Shen Wu and said, "Is this the material for Chief Wei of the Power Bureau?"
"Yes, I told you about it around nine in the morning. There are 30 of them in total, and they need them today. It's really kept me busy."
Chen Wu pounded his waist. His waist couldn't bear squatting and working for a long time.
"This Chief Wei seems to be highly valued by the leadership. It is said that she has just arrived at the Power Bureau. Generally speaking, such lucrative jobs will not be given to newcomers." Shen Yan guessed.
"Why worry about all this? Anyway, I'm very grateful to her for being able to do it here regularly." Chen Wu smiled, "It's just that she always asks for it too urgently. It would be better if she could give us enough time."
"By the way, do you two want to go back home for the New Year this year?"
As if thinking of something, Chen Wu asked, "Mom has been looking forward to you coming back for the New Year for four years."
Chen Yan has been married here for seven years and has been back three times.
The first time was the year they got married, the second time was the year their son was born, and the third time was the year her father passed away.
Basically every Chinese New Year, her mother would think of her daughter and son-in-law, and especially hoped that they could come back to celebrate the New Year.
An unnatural look flashed across Chen Yan's eyes, and she forced a smile and said, "Your brother-in-law won't be on holiday until New Year's Eve, so how can he have the chance to go back for the New Year?"
"Besides, where will you live when you get back?"
It’s not that Chen Yan doesn’t want to go back, but where to live after returning is a problem.
They were all simple wooden houses. If she lived alone, she could live in any of them.
But now I have a family and children, I can't compromise.
You have to take a shower, right?
But when I go back home for the New Year, I have to be mentally prepared even to take a bath.
There is no bathroom heater or shower head, only a bucket of hot water to take a shower in the cold toilet.
She can accept it, but what if the child gets cold?
Shen Wu paused and said self-deprecatingly, "Yeah, it would be nice to have a new house."
"I don't know when I can finally tear down my house and rebuild it."
Shen Yan sighed, "Work hard for a few more years, save some money, and I'll give you some of it. We'll eventually be able to build the house. By then, I'll bring your brother-in-law and nephew back to celebrate a few happy New Years."
"Um."
Shen Wu fell silent and started working in silence.
Zou Xiaoxiao, who was standing by, was also feeling a little depressed.
There are many people who are doing well in their line of work.
Now in my hometown, not every household has built a small villa, but a large number of people have done so.
This feeling is especially unpleasant when everyone they know makes a lot of money, but they are the only ones who don’t.
And now, it is said that the peer next door has won millions in building a city, drives a Prado, and is planning to tear down the old house and rebuild it.
No one would feel comfortable with such a comparison.
Suddenly, she thought of the news in the group chat and asked, "Is the news in the family group true or false? Man Niang and her family are said to have driven back in an Audi Q7."
Chen Yan said: "It must be fake. There are no pictures or videos. It must be a joke."
At the beginning of the month, someone mentioned it in the family group voice chat.
But they didn't take it seriously.
If he really drove the Audi Q7 back, would her mother not tell her and her brother?
"But why did Manniang and the others go back so early this year? In previous years, they didn't return until a week after the university students' holiday."
Zou Xiaoxiao shook her head: "Then I don't know. No one has asked, and the group hasn't discussed this."
Suddenly, someone approached the store.
"Boss Shen, are all the materials I need ready?"
The person who came was a beautiful woman, who was outstanding in both temperament and appearance.
When Zou Xiaoxiao saw her, her face turned bitter.
Shen Wu quickly said, "Chief Wei, I'm sorry, it will take more than half an hour."
"Another half an hour? This efficiency needs to be improved."
"Yes, yes. Next time, I will definitely stock up on more supplies in the store to avoid wasting Chief Wei's precious time."
Section Chief Wei smiled and said, "Well, although your efficiency is a bit low, the things you produced are still solid."
"But you have to work overtime tonight. I have a batch of blueprints that need to be rushed out overnight."
Hearing this, Zou Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up.
"Chief Wei, how many are there and what specifications are they?"
Blueprints are not like wooden frames that require manpower to make them one by one, which makes a big difference in efficiency.
"About 500 sheets, mostly A1, with some extras. Can I get them by 8am tomorrow?"
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Zou Xiaoxiao said happily.
An A1 blueprint costs 6 yuan each, so these 500 pieces would cost about 3,000 yuan.
The most important thing is that it doesn’t even take one night.
This kind of business is their favorite.
Chief Wei said, "Okay, I brought a USB drive. Please make a copy. After you're done, please fold it up and sort it out for me."
Zou Xiaoxiao took the USB drive, plugged it into the computer and made a copy.
Chief Wei nodded and said, "Then I'll come get it tomorrow morning. Don't be late."
"Don't worry, there will be no delay."
Chief Wei smiled and left with the USB drive.
After she left, Zou Xiaoxiao said happily, "Chief Wei is such a straightforward person."
"Hey, that's because I have solid skills." Shen Wu said proudly.
"That's true."
Zou Xiaoxiao did not deny it, because Chen Wu had indeed received praise from many customers for doing these handicrafts.
"But it's not just that. The most important point is that your last name is Shen."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Chen Wu was confused, and Chen Yan was also surprised and asked, "What does this have to do with whether your surname is Chen or not?"
Zou Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, "I don't know either. Anyway, when Chief Wei came here for the first time, he specifically asked what your boss's last name was, and I said it was Chen."
“Since then, she has been coming here regularly to take care of the business.”
