Chapter 40: Yes, Yes, You Are Absolutely Right

"It's fixed, even though you didn't do a thing!"

"He’s just bluffing, as expected!"

"If that's what counts as fixed, I could have done it myself!"

The crowd burst into laughter upon hearing Chen Jianghai’s claim.

Xue Chunli looked on with disdain, muttering to herself: *At the end of the day, this guy is just a pile of mud. He’s clearly given up on himself.*

Did he really think everyone here was blind?

Xiao Dai laughed heartily. "Fixed? Do you think you're a Qigong master who can repair things from a distance?"

"Brother Chen, you aren't joking, are you?" Boss Jin asked, looking rather skeptical.

Chen Jianghai replied calmly, "Boss Jin, don't be impatient. You'll see once I turn the TV on."

With that, he plugged in the power cord and switched the color TV back on. The screen was displaying the classic drama *Yearning*, and the colors had returned to normal.

Seeing this, Boss Jin couldn't help but give a thumbs-up, praising him sincerely, "It really is fixed! Brother Chen, your skills are nothing short of miraculous!"

Chen Jianghai replied nonchalantly, "It was just a minor issue, Brother. Once you know the root cause, it’s easy to handle."

It was actually fixed?

Stunned, Xiao Dai couldn't fathom how this was possible.

Lin Wanqiu was the happiest of them all. Chen Jianghai had proven his skills in public; if her mother, Xue Chunli, tried to pressure her into a divorce again, she could finally stand up to her.

"The TV is fixed. Boss Jin, I’ll be heading back now!" Chen Jianghai naturally wasn't going to charge for such a small favor. After saying his piece, he turned to leave.

Boss Jin quickly grabbed him. "Brother Chen, don't be in such a rush. There’s still some unfinished business here!"

Chen Jianghai shook his head. "Forget it, Boss Jin. It’s not necessary."

He was, after all, just a hot-headed young man. Since he had already achieved his goal, there was no need to be petty.

"Why not?" Boss Jin insisted. "These youngsters nowadays have no real skill, but their mouths are sharp. If they don't learn a lesson, how will they ever grow up?"

Turning to Xiao Dai, Boss Jin said, "Are you sticking by what you said earlier? If you think your words are worth nothing more than hot air, you can leave now."

Boss Jin’s words put Xiao Dai on the spot, leaving him feeling as if he were being roasted over a fire. He didn't know whether to stay or go. In the end, Xiao Dai gritted his teeth, muttered a perfunctory apology, and slunk away.

Watching his retreating back, Boss Jin let out a disdainful snort before turning to Chen Jianghai with a smile. "Brother Chen, tell me, how exactly did you do that?"

"It wasn't a major issue. It was just magnetic interference caused by that magnet left nearby. Once I moved it away, the problem was solved," Chen Jianghai explained, pointing to the magnet lying on the side.

"That's it? Just by moving a magnet?" someone nearby asked, their tone full of disbelief and skepticism.

Boss Jin snapped at them, "What? Now you’re playing the expert in hindsight? Why didn't you step up earlier? It sounds easy enough, just moving a magnet!"

"If you didn't have real skills, would you have known that moving the magnet would fix the color TV?"

His words left the person speechless, and they lowered their head in embarrassment.

Chen Jianghai laughed. "Boss Jin, that’s that. I’m off."

"Alright, I’ll treat you to a meal some other day," Boss Jin said with a smile.

Chen Jianghai waved him off. "Don't mention it, it was nothing."

With that, he took Lin Wanqiu’s hand and walked out. The looks from the crowd were no longer filled with disdain or contempt; they were now brimming with surprise and admiration. In this era, people with genuine skills would always command respect.

"Jianghai, you were amazing!" As soon as they got home, Lin Wanqiu looked at Chen Jianghai with shining, adoring eyes.

Chen Jianghai replied lightly, "They were just minor issues, nothing worth bragging about."

"How can you say that?" Lin Wanqiu disagreed immediately. "Others couldn't fix it, and you could—that’s a real skill!"

Chen Jianghai stroked his wife's hair and laughed, "Yes, yes, you’re absolutely right."

Lin Jianguo and Xue Chunli witnessed the whole scene. If they had been skeptical before, the facts were now laid out before them, and they had no choice but to believe.

Lin Jianguo whispered, "Wife, it seems our son-in-law really does have some talent!"

"Let's go home!" Xue Chunli stomped off, not wanting to hear another word about it. Lin Jianguo didn't dare linger and hurried after her. Having been married for years, he knew her temper all too well. She was furious, and it was best not to provoke her now, or he would be the one to suffer.

Lin Wanqing had also witnessed the entire event. It was impossible that so many people would help Chen Jianghai put on a show. Thinking this, she could no longer hold back. As soon as they stepped outside, she said, "Mom, I need to go to town."

Xue Chunli asked, "Why? Is something urgent?"

"No," Lin Wanqing replied. "I just need to make a phone call."

Hearing this, Xue Chunli turned and shouted, "Old Lin, what are you standing there for? Go get a car for Wanqing!"

Poor Lin Jianguo didn't dare speak back. He gave a submissive nod and rushed off to find a ride.

"Daughter, what is the matter?" Seeing Lin Wanqing’s anxious expression, Xue Chunli asked, worried.

Lin Wanqing forced a smile to reassure her. "Mom, don't worry, it’s just some business matters."

"Is that true?" Xue Chunli remained skeptical.

Lin Wanqing nodded. "Mom, don't worry. I’ll be back as soon as I’m done."

"How about... I have your father go with you?" Xue Chunli suggested.

Lin Wanqing didn't refuse and nodded. "Alright." If she didn't let Lin Jianguo go, Xue Chunli would definitely worry.

"Good, good. Hurry back," Xue Chunli said, feeling slightly more at ease.

Lin Wanqing smiled. "Mom, we’ll be back soon. Don't worry so much."

Xue Chunli waved her hand. "Alright, I know."

Before long, Lin Jianguo arrived with a tricycle. "Wanqing, the car is here! The car is here!"

Hearing the commotion, Chen Jianghai and Lin Wanqiu walked out.

"Dad, why did you call for a car?" Lin Wanqiu asked, surprised. Weren't they not supposed to leave today?

Lin Jianguo realized his second daughter had misunderstood and quickly explained, "It’s your sister. She needs to go to town."

"Sister, why are you going?" Lin Wanqiu asked, puzzled.

Lin Wanqing glanced at Chen Jianghai before saying, "I remembered some business matters that need to be taken care of."

"Will you be back?" Lin Wanqiu asked again.

Lin Wanqing smiled. "Of course, I’m just making a phone call."

Hearing this, both Xue Chunli and Lin Wanqiu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, don't dawdle. Hurry back," Xue Chunli urged. "Old Lin, go with Wanqing."

"Alright." Lin Jianguo didn't dare cross Xue Chunli at that moment and nodded in quick agreement.

Watching Lin Wanqing leave in a hurry, a trace of worry flickered in Xue Chunli’s eyes.
