"Brother Chen, a good man should prioritize his career over anything else, not worry about finding a partner!"
"Bullshit, get married and start a family, get married first and then start a career. In a few years, you two will be singles!"
Du Chen said to Li Dewen and Kiki with disdain.
"Brother Chen, what about you? Do you have a girlfriend?"
Kiki asked Du Chen curiously.
"Why look for a girlfriend? How old am I? A man should never worry about not having a wife."
Du Chen said righteously.
"Brother Chen, we have to be fair! We will get married first and then build a career. With you, a real man will never worry about not having a wife."
"I'm the same age as you, right?"
Du Chen's words made Kiki stop.
"All kidding aside, Brother Li, how was sales week?"
Du Chen turned around and asked Li Dewen again.
"Our current clients include the township government, the township police station, and several small businesses in the township. I visited almost all of them last week, and I plan to go around the city this week to see if I can do some business!"
When it comes to business, Li Dewen also looks serious and reports to Du Chen about last week's gains.
"It seems the township government has also made a lot of efforts, right?"
Du Chen asked Li Dewen.
"Well, on the opening day, almost everyone who came with the township head ordered water tickets. I guess they all did it out of respect for the township head."
"Can the water delivery team keep up? Since the village chief is helping us, we can't let him down. We must provide regular service! If the vans are not enough, buy two more. The water delivery must be fast! No delays!"
Du Chen thought for a moment and said to Li Dewen.
"I was just about to tell you, Du Chen, that vans are really not enough. Now that we've bought a van, we still have to deliver water on a regular basis, so it's really inconvenient to go out and do things sometimes!"
"That's perfect. Go buy two second-hand vans from my dad later! By the way, do you have enough money?"
Du Chen directly asked Li Dewen to buy a van from Comrade Lao Du. After all, it was better for the family to keep the money. Besides, no matter what the price of his own second-hand car was, the price was definitely worthy of the quality of the car.
"Brother Chen, will you take us there together?"
Kiki asked Du Chen at this time.
"Yeah, Du Chen, why don't you come with us to buy a car? It should be cheaper with you around, right?"
Li Dewen also asked Du Chen.
"I don't have that much face with my dad, but I can get a discount at least. But is the money enough?"
Du Chen asked Li Dewen again.
"There's still 30,000 yuan on the account now. Should that be enough?"
"That's about right. I'm going to use it to haul goods anyway, so it's fine as long as it works. It doesn't need to be too good."
"Okay then. How about I call Xiami right now and ask him to send the money over?"
The money is kept at the Shangqiao Village Water Plant and is managed by Xiami. If the money is needed, Xiami has to send someone to deliver it.
"Alright, have Xiami send someone over here. Also, bring me five water dispensers and fill up the water bottles. This is for my dad!"
Du Chen explained to Li Dewen that it was his own industry after all, but he had never drunk a sip of the water he produced, which made Du Chen feel a little amused and helpless.
"By the way, Brother Li, each of my brothers has a water dispenser. This is for our own use. Don't sell them all to me secretly. Five barrels of water per person per month, just consider it a welfare of the factory. Don't worry about producing water by ourselves and the whole family hasn't drunk it yet, that would be a bit ridiculous!"
A water dispenser doesn't cost much, and the water is even less valuable. So why not give everyone some benefits so that everyone has a sense of belonging? Du Chen thought about it and made the above decision.
"Haha, that's great! Thank you in advance on behalf of my brothers!"
Li Dewen's face was also beaming with joy. Regardless of how much money these could cost, it was very good to make his brothers proud at home. It also allowed everyone's relatives and friends to see that the gangsters in their eyes were now people with proper jobs. How could Li Dewen not be happy about such a proud thing?
"Okay, just remember it and make sure you follow through with it sometime. First, call Xiami and have him send the money over right away! I don't have much time, so get this done quickly before it gets in the way of important matters."
"Okay, I'll call now!"
After Li Dewen finished speaking, he walked to the phone and called Xiami.
"Kiki, are you busy here lately?"
Li Dewen was talking to Xiami on the phone, and Du Chen, who had nothing to do, asked Kiki again.
"Not bad. There's work every day. But listening to you, Brother Chen, I'm not in a hurry now. I'll take my time. Just like you said, the longer you keep them waiting, the more anxious they become. Some even offer extra money to let me jump the queue! But I refuse. I'm usually busy for six hours a day now and that's it."
Jiji quickly told Du Chen about his recent business. He was full of admiration for Du Chen. He used to be busy from morning to night for fear of losing customers. Now, he was busy for a short while every day, but customers just wanted to jump the queue by paying money. No one cared even if they had to wait for ten days or half a month.
"Sure! I didn't expect so many people here would want tattoos!"
Du Chen was indeed a little surprised that there were so many people. After all, tattooing is a niche within a niche, but he didn't expect that so many people would want tattoos.
"Brother Chen, most of them are gangsters. Our people here have always been tough. There are many people who have just graduated from junior high school and are involved in gangs. There are also many young people who get tattoos when they are young."
Jiji explained to Du Chen the reason why there were so many people. After all, he came into contact with these people every day, and he knew what these people were doing at a glance.
"Kiki, remember not to tattoo minors. Be careful if their parents come looking for you, it'll be troublesome!"
When Du Chen heard that someone came here to get a tattoo after graduating from junior high school, he immediately reminded Kiki.
"Brother Chen, does this still have an impact?"
Kiki immediately asked Du Chen, after all, there were many minors who asked him to get tattoos.
"Well, minors shouldn't get tattoos, or they'll get you in trouble later!"
Du Chen said to Kiki seriously.
"Okay, I understand, Brother Chen. I'll put up a notice at the door later saying no tattoos for minors."
"Okay, just remember that! By the way, has anyone asked you about being an apprentice lately?"
Du Chen asked about Kiki's apprenticeship again.
"Yes! And more than one!"
"Remember what I told you about the training class? Then start preparing to open it! Recruit ten people for the first time, and train them for two hours every night. If they want to help during the day, they can come and help. If they don't want to come, that's fine too!"
Du Chen said to Kiki that those who came to help during the day would naturally learn more, and it could be considered as a reward for helping with cleaning.
