I couldn't take it anymore; when I went home for Chinese New Year, the family genealogy book ha

"Mom, I heard Aunt Wang mention on the phone last time that she'd like to introduce me to someone when I go home for Chinese New Year?"

During the video call, Jiang Chen casually steered the conversation in a completely new direction.

Sure enough, as soon as she heard the words "introduce a potential partner," Wang Xiuying's eyes lit up instantly, and the anger she had just felt towards her son for spending money recklessly vanished.

"you do not say!"

Wang Xiuying lowered her voice and leaned close to the camera with a mysterious expression.

"Not only Aunt Wang, but your Aunt Li and Aunt Zhang have also come to ask! They all say they have nice girls they want to introduce to you!"

"There are nurses from the town's health center and elementary school teachers; I heard they're all very pretty!"

Wang Xiuying spoke with great enthusiasm, but then she glanced at her own house, her smile faded, and she sighed heavily.

"It's just... our house is a bit too old."

"The walls are crumbling, and the floor is made of cement from decades ago. If a young woman comes to visit, she'll think our house is all show and no substance..."

"Your dad and I were planning to have it repainted and have new floor tiles laid next spring when it gets warmer. But there are only a few days left until Chinese New Year, how can we possibly have time?"

Wang Xiuying's tone was filled with helplessness and regret.

However, Jiang Chen on the other end of the phone simply shook his head, a confident smile playing on his lips.

"Mom, there's still time."

He leaned back in his Audi seat, looking out at the dazzling Shanghai nightscape, and spoke in a nonchalant tone.

"In this world, 99% of things can be done in time."

"As long as the money is in place."

Jiang Chen hung up the video call without the slightest hesitation.

He remembered that in his hometown county, there was a decoration company where GG was constantly making phone calls.

It seems to be called "Hongtu Decoration," and its main selling point is "rapid renovation," claiming that it can turn an old, dilapidated apartment into a new one in just seven days.

Jiang Chen directly searched for the company's name and phone number on his phone's map and dialed the number.

The phone rang a few times, and a somewhat listless male voice answered it.

"Hello, Hongtu Decoration, how can I help you?"

"I want to renovate," Jiang Chen said succinctly and directly.

"Oh, sir, is it a new house or an old house? How big is it? What kind of..."

"A self-built house in the countryside, about 120 square meters." Jiang Chen interrupted him directly.

"Interior work only, quick wall renovation, replacement of all light fixtures, installation of wooden flooring, and a simple suspended ceiling."

"There's only one requirement: it must be completed within five days."

There was a noticeable silence on the other end of the phone.

After a few seconds, the male voice spoke with a hint of hesitation and embarrassment.

"Sir, five days? That's...that's way too rushed!"

"Besides, it's almost Chinese New Year, and most of our experienced workers have gone home for the holidays. We're really short-handed..."

Jiang Chen wasn't surprised at all by the other party's excuses.

He simply and casually tossed out his chips over the phone.

"Double the wages."

The breathing on the other end of the phone was noticeably heavier.

"I'll use the best materials, and I won't haggle over the price. You can give me your quote."

The sound of swallowing saliva came from the other end of the phone.

Jiang Chen paused for a moment, then threw out the last and heaviest bomb.

"As long as you can finish on time and with high quality."

"On the day of completion, I gave each worker present a separate red envelope containing 1,000 yuan, which was outside the budget."

"..."

Silence fell on the other end of the phone.

The silence lasted for a full three seconds.

Three seconds later!

A roar, as loud as a volcanic eruption and filled with immense passion, exploded from the receiver, nearly deafening Jiang Chen!

"Boss!!!"

The owner of that voice had changed from addressing the person as "sir" to "boss," and his tone had changed from listless to excitedly energetic!

"Don't worry, boss! Five days? Three days?! We'll finish it for you in three days!"

"The workers are on holiday? I'll tie them up and bring them back from their beds back home!"

"No double pay needed! And no bribes! It's our honor to serve a boss like you!"

"Don't worry! All the best technicians in our company will set off tonight! We guarantee they'll be at your doorstep by dawn tomorrow!"

Jiang Chen smiled with satisfaction.

He could even picture the comical sight of the renovation company owner on the other end of the phone, bowing and scraping while frantically giving his subordinates meaningful glances.

"No need to be so polite."

Jiang Chen said calmly.

"I will not shortchange you on my wages and bonuses."

"I only care about the results."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chen casually tossed his phone onto the center console.

Problems that can be solved with money are no longer problems for him.

He started the car, and the black Audi A6L silently merged into the traffic.

He took out his phone, glanced at the more than four million yuan balance in his bank card, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Let's make our hometown lively again tomorrow.
