Chang Wei, who had put in a lot of effort to get Flying Eagle to stand up for him, watched helplessly as his crush, Lan Xue, walked away hand in hand with Wei Yuan. Not only did these two take advantage of him, but they also humiliated him. How could someone like him, who was used to a life of comfort and privilege, endure such humiliation?
As he watched the two figures grow more distant, Chang Wei gritted his teeth and pulled out his wallet. Feeling a surge of confidence, he called over the waiter and ordered all the most expensive food and drinks in the restaurant. With the alcohol taking effect, he emotionally said, "Brother Flying Eagle, you saw what just happened. My brothers are being bullied; you have to stand up for me!"
With the liquor fueling his bravado, Flying Eagle confidently declared, "Leave this to me. Bullying you is like slapping my own face! They need to recognize who they're dealing with; even when beating a dog, one must look at its owner..."
Hearing this made Chang Wei secretly excited, though he felt a bit frustrated by the last part. So you're saying that while you're enjoying my money, I’ve become your dog? But for now, he needed this strong guy to help him deal with Wei Yuan and had to tolerate him.
At that moment, while Chang Wei was dragging the half-drunk Flying Eagle and plotting how to settle scores with Wei Yuan, Wei Yuan was already walking ahead with Lan Xue towards the Video Store. Remembering how Lan Xue had acted earlier, Wei Yuan mimicked her tone and said, "Brother Wei Yuan, don’t be afraid. I’ll take you away right now; who dares stop me!"
Lan Xue couldn’t help but laugh at his exaggerated imitation of her voice. She didn’t understand why she felt such an inexplicable urge to defend Wei Yuan whenever someone targeted him.
After the joke was over, Wei Yuan looked seriously at Lan Xue and said, "Why don’t you head back to school first?"
Clearly, Wei Yuan knew that since Chang Wei had already found someone to take revenge on him, there was no reason for Lan Xue to stay with him. When she heard this, Lan Xue asked in confusion, "Aren't we supposed to have dinner and then help you study?"
Wei Yuan smiled and replied, "I have something else to do today. Let’s wait until tomorrow noon; by then you can help me however you want."
After sending Lan Xue off, Wei Yuan returned to the Video Store and found Gu Jing had already taken off his headphones and was sitting at the cash register waiting for him. He must have known that Wei Yuan would come looking for clarification about the notice.
Repairing a genuine Video Disk costs ten yuan! Repairing a precious wedding or birthday video tape costs one hundred yuan! Gu Jing clearly understood how to gauge people's hearts in this regard!
As soon as Wei Yuan entered, he noticed that the previously movie-obsessed chubby guy had changed his demeanor and greeted him with a smile. "Did you see the notice at the door?"
"Boss, your calculations are too meticulous! When did I agree to help anyone repair discs or tapes?"
Gu Jing said with a sincere expression, "Master Wei, please don't misunderstand me. I see that you have a remarkable talent for Repairing Discs, and I think you should consider utilizing it more rather than letting it go to waste."
Wei Yuan did not expect that the usually movie-watching fat guy would suddenly become so articulate. His main objections to Gu Jing's approach were twofold: first, he believed that such methods wouldn't attract many customers; second, he was afraid of being too ostentatious.
"Boss, I'm not against your approach, but what good does it do to just post a notice? Nowadays, you can easily buy pirated Video Disks on the street. Who would bother bringing damaged genuine Video Disks to you for repair?"
The implication in Wei Yuan's words was that there weren't even ten customers in the shop; posting a notice would be pointless. Moreover, who would be foolish enough to spend ten dollars to repair a broken Video Disk?
After clearing his throat, Gu Jing explained, "You may not know this, but I am someone who is very sensitive and passionate about visual works. I deeply understand this behavior; people are willing to spend money on genuine Video Disks and hire someone to record videos during celebrations because they want to preserve those precious memories!"
Wei Yuan thought there was some truth in this. After all, he had spent five thousand dollars repairing a large number of damaged old Video Disks, hadn't he?
Seeing that Wei Yuan looked slightly moved, Gu Jing added, "One can imagine that they don't mind spending extra money; they just hope that when their memories begin to fade, they can have something from the past to reminisce about. Video Disks and videotapes truly serve the purpose of preserving those tangible memories!"
Listening to his words, Wei Yuan felt they were powerful and quite touching. However, after reflecting on what he said, he realized there was still one major issue and reminded him, "Alright, even if such people exist, how many of them could there possibly be?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Jing laughed, "It's surprising that you're still so outdated as a young person!"
He then opened the notebook on the table, and Wei Yuan saw him log into his QQ account. To his astonishment, there were dozens of groups filled with movie discussions, including six super groups with names all ending in Fan Club, differing only slightly in their suffixes!
At that moment, Wei Yuan was finally impressed by this trend-chasing fat guy. Each of those six main super groups had over four hundred members, and with all those additional advanced groups, this fat guy had thousands of fellow movie enthusiasts online!
If that's the case, then indeed there was no need to worry about a lack of customers; each of these individuals was a potential client and even a promoter!
"Take a look at this."
Wei Yuan looked in the direction he was pointing and found that the six super group dynamics named Fan Club had already been modified to the notice of the Repairing Discs videotape he had drafted. Now, they were just waiting for Wei Yuan's approval to take on the work.
This method of online communication could indeed save Wei Yuan some unnecessary trouble. After discussing it, the two decided to target some online groups that needed such services, and naturally, the first batch of customers would be those in Gu Jing's QQ Group!
"Why are you helping me like this?" Wei Yuan asked with some caution.
Gu Jing replied straightforwardly, "I have a good relationship with many friends in these groups. I often hear them complain about their cherished Video Disks and videotapes being damaged, so I understand their feelings very well. Now that I know you, I naturally want to make good use of this connection. For you, it helps others and earns money, and my request is not high; as a commission fee, I only need twenty percent. This is already a significant extra income for me!"
"Is it really that simple? What makes you think I will agree?" Wei Yuan asked with interest.
"Because your skills are not enough to hide your ambitions. Although I don't know what exactly you are pursuing, I believe you won't stay in my shop for long! As the saying goes, before the army moves, provisions must be prepared. No matter how great your ambitions are, in this era, it's very difficult to achieve them without certain economic strength!"
At this moment, Wei Yuan realized he had been underestimating Gu Jing! This fat guy seemed far from simple!
