“Do you know how much debt our family owes?” Qin Fei pulled Qin Hongfei aside and asked through gritted teeth.
“How much?” Qin Hongfei didn’t know.
“If we calculate it, it should be more than 1 million yuan.” Qin Fei frowned and gave a vague amount: “I earn 50 yuan for a small role. In other words, this more than 1 million yuan is…” She was stuck for a moment.
“Sister, you earn 50 yuan for a supporting role. You have to do 20,000 supporting roles to earn 1 million.” Qin Hongfei calculated on her behalf and added: “If we calculate it based on one performance per day. 365 days a year times your salary, you have to play the supporting role for 54 years. 54 years + 18 years of your current age, you’ll be able to pay when you turn 72 years old. How miserable.”
“……”
I know you’re good at math, no need to show it off!
Qin Fei looked at her younger sister’s childish face and her unreliable mother. What else could the family do besides relying on herself?: “We still have to find a way to take some more acting roles to earn money faster.”
Qin Hongfei looked at this sister in surprise. It was amazing. She thought she would lose her temper, but in the end, she didn’t. Instead, she was thinking of ways to solve the problem: “Sister, don’t worry, 1 million is not too hard to earn.”
Qin Fei: “…haha.”
For someone who doesn’t even have a hundred yuan in their pocket, telling her that it was not difficult to earn one million yuan.
Just listen.
As soon as the fourth day of the Lunar New Year passed, Qin Fei ran back to the filming set to find ways to take on movies and make money, leaving only three hundred yuan left in her pocket to her family to make ends meet.
Qin Hongfei didn’t stop her, mainly because she couldn’t. She told Qin Fei that she would make money, but she didn’t believe her, so she felt helpless.
She also took advantage of the past few days to look at their family’s account books. She found out that, no need to mention making money, the parts and things her mother lost every day from electrical appliances to customers could amount to thousands. Some even cost tens of thousands in a month. This was wrong.
She proposed to her mother to practice in the electrical repair shop, and she discovered the problem after staying there for two days.
Their mother’s skills were notoriously bad in this field. As long as the repairs were broken, she would lose money. Over time, some gangsters will take advantage of the opportunity! The good and bad people will send their appliances to their repair shop. As long as she failed to repair their appliances, their mother will have to pay for it.
Knowing the problem, Qin Hongfei couldn’t help but scold those hooligans for being unethical. The other party must have done it knowingly because they thought they were soft persimmons. Well, their mother’s temper was a big problem in this matter. The most important thing now was to solve the main problem: “Mom, let me do the work in the shop these 2 days. I want to learn and find ways to keep the shop open.”
When she heard that the shop could be kept open, Xia Lu naturally had no reason to object.
Qin Hongfei sat in the shop. The boss next door noticed it but didn’t pay much attention. He felt that it would be a matter of time before the first branch of the Qin Family’s electrical repair shop went out of business. However, Qin Hongfei put up a signboard in the shop!
[Repairing electrical appliances and paying 10x the compensation if they break down!]
Not long after the signboard was posted, an aunt came to the shop with a radio: “Sister Qin, I came to ask you to repair something again. Oops, Hongfei, where is your mother?”
Qin Hongfei said: “My mother is out. Aunt, if you need to repair something, I’ll do it for you.”
The Aunt rolled her eyes and said: “Look at this, can you fix it for me? My relatives sent me this radio from abroad. It costs thousands. If it’s damaged, you’ll have to pay for it.”
Qin Hongfei knocked on the signboard on the door and said: “Hey, it’s a brand good. I have to be careful. But don’t worry, if it’s broken, I’ll pay you tenfold.”
