Old Master Liu was taken aback by Jiang Tao's words. Triple salary? Year-end bonuses? Skills determine everything? These conditions felt like a pie falling from the sky! He had considered leaving Red Star before, but it was a state-owned enterprise—a secure job, even if it was a bit rusty. Opening his own shop? He lacked both the capital and the courage. Working for this young punk, Jiang Tao? He felt a bit embarrassed at the thought.
Liu Shimu, who was listening nearby, suddenly brightened up but still hesitated, quietly tugging at Old Liu's sleeve.
Jiang Tao noticed Old Liu's concerns and continued to sweeten the deal. "Master Liu, I understand your worries. Let me assure you, my shop is currently making a net profit of several hundred yuan each month, and it's growing rapidly. I've just rented a proper storefront and obtained the necessary licenses—it's all legitimate business. As for Red Star... Hmph, how long can people like Ma Guoqiang and Master Qian hold on? It's bound to collapse sooner or later! With your skills, do you really want to be stuck sweeping floors and watching warehouses, acting as their stepping stone? Come work with me; let's make 'Jiang Ji' the best in the city! You'll be an elder statesman and the technical director!"
He turned to Liu Shimu and said, "Auntie, don't worry. I, Jiang Tao, keep my word! Master Liu is my elder; I will never treat him unfairly! If there are any difficulties at home in the future, I will help as much as I can!"
This speech painted a bright picture while offering respect and tangible benefits, igniting Old Liu's pride as a skilled craftsman.
Old Liu remained silent for a long time, the tobacco in his pipe burning out. He looked up at Jiang Tao's young and confident face and then glanced at his wife, who was filled with anticipation. A glimmer of determination flashed in his murky eyes.
"Xiao Jiang... no, Boss Jiang!" Old Liu slammed his hand on the table. "You're right! I can't let my skills go to waste! I've had enough of this bird-like anger! Alright! I'm in! Tomorrow I'll go to Red Star and smash that broken rice bowl!"
"That's great! Master Liu!" Jiang Tao exclaimed joyfully, shaking Old Liu's hand excitedly. "Rest assured; you won't regret this decision!"
Liu Shimu also smiled widely and hurriedly started preparing a meal for Jiang Tao.
The next day, Old Master Liu indeed went to Red Star to submit his resignation. Director Ma and Master Qian naturally wouldn't let him go easily and tried every trick in the book to make it difficult for him. However, Old Liu was determined to leave, and with some behind-the-scenes help from Jiang Tao, he eventually completed the resignation process smoothly.
On the day Old Master Liu officially joined Jiang's Repair and Renovation Shop, Jiang Tao specially prepared a brand new, fully equipped workbench for him in the shop.
"Master Liu, this will be your territory from now on!"
Old Liu looked at the shiny new tools and spacious workbench, then glanced at the busy yet smiling faces of Jiang Tao and his young apprentice. He felt a surge of emotions as if he had rediscovered his youthful vigor and respect for craftsmanship.
With Old Liu—a seasoned master—taking charge, Jiang Tao finally breathed a sigh of relief. Daily repair tasks, some less technical renovation jobs, and mentoring apprentices were all entrusted to Old Liu. His skills were undoubtedly impressive; even some issues that Jiang Tao could solve quickly with his abilities were ones that Old Liu could figure out slowly through experience. Although he took more time, his work was solid and reliable. Customers saw that even Red Star's best Master Liu had come to Jiang Ji, which significantly boosted their trust in the shop.
Jiang Tao then devoted more energy to acquiring old items, tackling technical challenges, and expanding into higher-end clients and networks.
With Old Liu joining as a key player, Jiang's Repair and Renovation Shop soared like a tiger with wings, accelerating towards broader horizons!
