Chu Shaoqing reassured her and led her to a private room, but still asked with concern, "Sister-in-law, are you sure it's okay to stay here?"

"Okay, no problem. Go do your thing, and call me when you leave."

Mu Xiaowan wasn't sure how long she could manage to get it done.

Even if she only had one tape recorder, it would take her quite a while. These are all outdated electronic products, and her modern business wouldn't involve such old gadgets.

The reason she was able to do this was because she was interested in these things when she was a child, so her grandfather gave her his collection of tape recorders to play with. She would take them apart and put them back together whenever she had nothing to do, and that's how she learned to play.

Chu Shaoqing came out of the private room. The nightclub was not yet open and it was very quiet.

He looked back at the private room again.

My sister-in-law is no ordinary person.

Who would do such serious things in a karaoke bar?

Chu Shaoqing returned to the private room shortly after leaving.

"Sister-in-law, the only hot drinks here are the awful coffee. I made you some hot tea instead. The owner is my brother's uncle, and the tea leaves are from him. It's good tea; the aroma is wonderful."

Mu Xiaowan thanked him as she prepared the things.

This kid is thoughtful; he even knows to get her something to drink.

"This kettle contains boiled water. If it's not enough, go to the boiler room to get more. There's an old man there who runs the boiler. Turn right when you go out."

"I'm in the arcade upstairs. You can find me if you need anything."

Watching Mu Xiaowan skillfully manipulate the tools, Chu Shaoqing hesitated for a moment before saying, "Sister-in-law, it's something to be proud of that you have such a skill, especially such a difficult one. Everyone in the family thinks you can't do anything, including my second brother. If they knew you could make these valuable things, they would definitely look at you with new respect." Her life at home would be much easier then.

"I think it would be a good thing if my second brother knew."

Chu Shaoqing was just reckless; he wasn't stupid. His second sister-in-law didn't want the family to know about her abilities, especially his second brother.

She had repeatedly warned him that day, so when his second brother asked, he didn't say anything.

This was the first time he had lied to his second brother because of someone else.

I never expected that after the first time, there would be a second.

He couldn't understand why his sister-in-law wouldn't say anything when this could clearly change her second brother's opinion of her, and instead seemed afraid of others finding out.

"It's not yet time."

After Chu Shaoqing left, Mu Xiaowan drank a cup of tea and then began her work, remaining seated for a long time without moving.

The door to the private room was closed. Around 6 PM, the employees heard noises coming from inside and couldn't resist peeking out of curiosity. Mu Xiaowan simply closed the door.

Chu Shaoqing played games all afternoon, and when his friend invited him to dinner, he remembered Mu Xiaowan.

He knocked on the door and saw Mu Xiaowan still working hard, and he felt a little guilty.

His sister-in-law helped him spend money and stayed here alone without eating or drinking to solve his problems, while he carelessly played games.

Chu Shaoqing decided not to go anywhere and to stay with Mu Xiaowan.

He pulled out four dollars and twenty cents from his pocket, took out eight cents to send the waiter to buy two servings of egg fried noodles next door.

After finishing her meal, Mu Xiaowan continued working.

Outside the private room, music had already started playing, and the volume was deafening.

Inside the room, Mu Xiaowan was not disturbed in any way.

Chu Shaoqing, who is usually unpredictable, was not affected at this moment; his attention was entirely on Mu Xiaowan.

At the same time, it can also help Mu Xiaowan a lot.

He always managed to deliver anything Mu Xiaowan needed promptly.

"Sister-in-law, what you're doing looks really fun. Could you teach me sometime?"

"Okay!"

If Mu Xiaowan wanted to open a shop, she would definitely need a helper, like Chu Shaoqing who brought his own resources. She would welcome such a helper with open arms.

Anyway, this kid knows quite a bit about her now, so if he really wants to learn, I can teach him.

"If you really have nothing else to do and are interested in repairs, then you can follow me from now on. As long as I make money, you won't suffer losses."

Seeing that Mu Xiaowan didn't take his words as a joke, and feeling genuinely valued for the first time, Chu Shaoqing was deeply moved.

It's just like a kindergarten child being praised for knowing that one plus one equals two.

"Sister-in-law, I'll follow you from now on. Don't let my brother always say I'm not doing anything productive."

Mu Xiaowan: Your family might not think it's a good thing to follow me.

They were so busy that they didn't finish working until after 10 p.m.

Actually, the tape recorder parts weren't used for that long because Mu Xiaowan had made a monitor and a receiver before starting to repair the tape recorder.

Chu Shaoqing held the repaired tape recorder, beaming with joy.

"Sister-in-law, you're amazing! Now I can finally give my mom a satisfactory answer."

"It's too late, let me take you home first."

Chu Shaoqing helped Mu Xiaowan pack all her things.

When Mu Xiaowan saw him take the bag, she wanted to take it back, but she hadn't moved around much all afternoon and her shoulders were really sore. These little things were quite heavy, so she let him take them.

"Hey, sister-in-law, isn't that my second brother?"

Chu Junbai?

“You don’t know those people, do you? They are my second brother’s classmates and friends. They are all accomplished in their respective fields and are very capable, just as outstanding as my second brother.”

Mu Xiaowan looked in the direction Chu Shaoqing was pointing and saw Chu Shaoqing drinking a glass of wine in one gulp. Three men were sitting next to him, each of them looking very outstanding, and their heroic spirit was undeniable.

The few of them sitting there seemed out of place in the dance hall; everyone else was there to dance and relax, but they seemed to be there simply to drink.

I almost got caught today!

Just as Mu Xiaowan came to her senses and was about to pull Chu Shaoqing away, the immature boy suddenly shouted loudly.

"Second brother!"

Chu Junbai, who already possessed keen insight, looked over accurately before Chu Shaoqing had even finished his second shout.

The lights flickered on and off, and Mu Xiaowan saw him beckoning them with his finger.

This kid, he forgot so quickly what she said about keeping it a secret.

"If your brother asks about it later, just say that you..." Mu Xiaowan couldn't think of anything, so she said, "Just say that you brought me here to broaden my horizons."

You can't exactly say you're just passing by and need to find a restroom.

Many shops nowadays don't have toilets inside; the toilets are all outside.

"Oh, it's so late, and I brought you here to broaden your horizons. Will my second brother kill me?"

"Your second brother won't care."

Would someone who's worked all night on their wedding night care where she goes?

They were just business partners; she was only trying to save face for Chu Junbai and avoid causing him trouble.

"How about you don't call me sister-in-law later, just call me sister?"

"what?"

"Listen to me, just say it like that."

Chu Junbai didn't invite any of his brothers or comrades to his wedding; the wedding was very perfunctory.

Since that's the case, she should be considerate and it will save her a lot of trouble.

The two walked to the booth area.

It was clear that Chu Shaoqing was very familiar with these people, so he greeted them warmly without needing an introduction.

Everyone calls me "brother" when we leave.

This kid is a natural businessman.

One of the men, dressed in a suit and tie, leaned back on the sofa, put one hand on his back, and asked with a smile.

"Shaoqing, you've really made something of yourself! You're actually dating someone. The girl is quite pretty. Whose daughter is she?"
