Another week passed in the blink of an eye.
Since its opening, Lei Ma Studio's business has been getting better and better day by day. It’s not about luck, it’s about craftsmanship. No one can give a definite answer to how good Edgar Austin's skills are, but anyone who comes to him can leave with satisfaction. There is an old saying that goes well, good wine is not afraid of deep alleys. Although the location of Edgar Austin's Thunder Horse Studio is not good, as Edgar Austin's reputation spreads further and further, business will naturally come one after another, even without advertising. .
Emily also started to learn crafts, such as welding and lathe processing. She has no foundation and only graduated from junior high school, but her brain is easy to use. She only needs Edgar Austin and Kaiden Barlow to explain many things to her, and then she can understand them by practicing them. With her diligence and eagerness to learn, both Edgar Austin and Kaiden Barlow believe that it won't be long before she can take over some simple tasks.
After a long day of work, Edgar Austin and Kaiden Barlow were both exhausted and sweating profusely. Looking at the pile of processed parts in the carton, Edgar Austin and Kaiden Barlow smiled at each other. It’s a bit tiring, but worth it!
"I'm so tired, Edgar. Let's go have a barbecue tonight. I'll treat you."Kaiden Barlow wiped his sweat with a towel. The oil on his face stained the towel, and the white towel suddenly became dirty. .
Edgar Austin smiled and said, "Okay, but I'm here to treat you." In the past few days, he had received another seven or eight thousand yuan in net income, and he was happy. This little money is definitely not as good as the money he won in the Macau casino, but he can use it safely and feel more satisfied.
Emily came over with a washbasin, neatly wrung out the towel soaked in water and handed it to Edgar Austin, while saying: "Boss Edgar, wipe your face."
Edgar Austin took the towel handed by Emily, wiped his face, and then said: "Emily, you can go too tonight, I'll treat you to a barbecue. Also, don't call me Boss Edgar anymore, call me Edgar will do."
"Okay, Edgar."Emily looked very happy, "I want to eat grilled chicken wings, sausage and beef, is that okay?"
Edgar Austin smiled, "Of course, you can eat whatever you want."
Ma Xiaoan joked: "Emily, you are so delicious, why don't you gain weight?"
Emily raised her lips and said dissatisfiedly: "Barlow, you are kidding me again. I am from the mountains. There is no barbecue in our place. I ate it once when I was in junior high school, but I have never eaten it until now." .”
Kaiden Barlow's mouth has always been smooth, but he stopped talking now. He would not joke about Emily's poverty.
"Wait for me while I wash my face. I don't want you to go out with a tabby cat."Emily didn't notice the change in Edgar Austin's mood. She was still so happy.
Edgar Austin looked at the Jiefang shoes on her feet and suddenly said: "Emily, we have been busy working these days and have not taken good care of you. Don't take it to heart."
"I..."Emily thought she said something wrong and suddenly became nervous.
Edgar Austin patted her shoulder and said with a smile: "Go and wash your face. Then Kaiden An and I will take you shopping. The barbecue will be postponed. Let's go buy some clothes for you first, um, and shoes. "
"No, no, you are good enough to me, how can I still ask you to buy me clothes? I, I get my salary and buy it myself."Emily said.
Edgar Austin joked: "You wear these shoes all day long, they must smell good, right? When you get your salary and buy them again, they will smell even better."
Emily was immediately embarrassed, and her apple-like face turned red. She subconsciously moved her feet back, but she couldn't hide them.
Edgar Austin said with a smile: "Go, go, it's still early, you can still take a shower, Kaiden An and I will wait for you outside."
Kaiden Barlow also said: "Go, go, we will take you to the mall to buy beautiful clothes and shoes. When you come back, you will be a beautiful woman."
"Well..."Emily's eyes turned red, and she turned around and ran towards the inner room.
"She is a good girl."Edgar Austin said.
Kaiden Barlow said: "I'm going to see if the water heater is good."
Edgar Austin slapped Kaiden Barlow on the back of the head, "Be honest with me. Emily is a kind and honest girl. Don't bully others. Also, she is not suitable for you."
Kaiden Barlow looked at Edgar Austin with innocent eyes, "Then what kind of woman is suitable for me?"
At this time, a coquettish woman with heavy makeup walked past the door. She had big white legs, bulging forward and backward, and her small waist twisted around when walking, which was very attractive. Many men were looking at her, but she dismissed them and was not even interested in taking a look. She was very arrogant.
Edgar Austin said with a smile: "Did you see it? This kind of woman is suitable for you."
Kaiden Barlow's eyes immediately fell on the modern girl's buttocks, and he couldn't move away.
Edgar Austin also stood beside him and looked at the modern girl. Looking at beautiful women is what every man likes to do. With just a little appreciation, he suddenly saw more content.
Feeling slightly uncomfortable, Edgar Austin withdrew his gaze and patted Kaiden Barlow on the shoulder, "Kaiden, remember, only such a proud woman is worthy of you."
"Then I'll take another look. Her figure is really sexy, haha!"Kaiden Barlow chased after her. He whistled at the back of the modern woman.
The modern girl turned around and shook her middle finger at Kaiden Barlow.
Kaiden Barlow was not angry at all, but smiled, looking like a bitch.
A red POLO car suddenly stopped on the road in front of Lei Ma Studio. The car door opened, and Elaine, dressed in uniform, stepped out of the cab.
Seeing Elaine, Edgar Austin suddenly remembered the incident that made him jump into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it away. He squatted behind the pillar next to the door and said to Kaiden Barlow: "If she comes to me, tell me Not here."
"What's going on with you?"Kaiden Barlow looked curious.
Edgar Austin glared at him, "Stop asking, just do as I say."
At this time, Elaine had already reached the door of the store.
"Sister-in-law..."Kaiden Barlow then changed his words and said, "Isn't this Jiang Bureau? What kind of wind brings you here?"
Elaine rolled her eyes at him, "Stop talking glibly to me, or I'll get you into trouble. Where's Edgar?"
"Edgar, he's not here."Kaiden Barlow secretly glanced at Xia Edgar Austin, who was hiding behind the pillar.
Elaine pushed Kaiden Barlow away, walked directly behind the pillar and caught Edgar Austin, saying at the same time: "Are you guilty of being a thief? You don't even dare to see me now?"
Edgar Austin smiled bitterly and said, "No way, I just tied my shoes."
Elaine snorted, "I've watched you grow up, and I can tell at a glance when you're lying."
Edgar Austin, "..."
"But don't worry, I'm not here to pursue that matter this time."
Edgar Austin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Then what are you here for?"
Elaine said: "A vegetable seller hit my car with his tricycle. I haven't paid for it yet. I'm almost going crazy. The car door is dented. Please help me fix it quickly."
Edgar Austin and Kaiden Barlow walked to the side of the road and took a look. Really, the door of the Polo car was dented in a big way.
"Hurry up, I'm in a hurry to go to the bureau for a meeting."Elaine urged.
Edgar Austin said: "I don't have spray painting equipment here. Even if I help you pull up the dent, you still have to go to the car repair shop to spray paint."
Elaine said: "Of course I know I have to go to the car repair shop to spray paint, but if you help me pull up the dent, they will make it cheaper." Then she urged: "Hurry up, sister is still in a hurry. There’s a meeting.”
Edgar Austin looked at Kaiden Barlow, "What are you still doing? Why don't you help Jiang Bureau get it done?"
Kaiden Barlow muttered: "You are so arrogant even if you don't pay me, do you really think you are the boss's wife?" He complained, so he dragged a welding machine, lowered the voltage, and used the welding rod to pull up the sunken area bit by bit. .
While Kaiden Barlow was working, Elaine pulled Edgar Austin aside, leaned into his ear and said, "Do you still remember the fingerprints?" 1
Edgar Austin suddenly became nervous.
"The results of the comparison are coming out soon. Don't you want to say something?"Elaine said.
Edgar Austin couldn't laugh or cry, and didn't even know what to say.
"It's done, Director Jiang, you can drive away."Kaiden Barlow said.
Elaine reached out and pinched Edgar Austin's waist, "I'll settle the score with you later. I'm leaving first."
Edgar Austin and Kaiden Barlow stood on the side of the road and watched Elaine get into the car, then watched Elaine drive away, and finally disappeared from sight before looking at each other.
"Edgar, it seems she didn't give any money, right?"Kaiden Barlow said.
Edgar Austin said angrily: "Why don't you ask her for it?"
Kaiden Barlow looked at Edgar Austin, "You don't need to be so cruel if you want to harm me, right? Are you asking her for money? You might as well kill me now."
At this time, Emily walked out of the room, her black hair wet. She was still wearing the same dirty clothes, but the underwear underneath was changed into clean ones, and she also put on a pair of white socks on her feet. She looked at Edgar Austin and Kaiden Barlow timidly, "I'm ready, can we... go?"
Edgar Austin said with a smile: "Let's go shopping!"
The three of them closed the door and walked forward along the sidewalk. The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the three of them, creating a picture of youth.
"Emily, what kind of clothes do you like? I'll help you choose them later."Kaiden Barlow said.
"Jeans, white T-shirt." Ma Xiaohong said.
"That's so tacky and doesn't fit in with the current fashion trend. Let me help you pick out a miniskirt. You'll look so beautiful in it."Kaiden Barlow encouraged.
Emily shook her head like a rattle, "It's so ugly, I won't wear it."
"Edgar, tell me, what clothes do you want to buy her?"
"This..."Edgar Austin thought.
Emily said: "I will wear whatever Edgar buys for me."
"Ah? Why?"Kaiden Barlow was unhappy.
Emily said: "Because Edgar is a good person and he will not lie to me."
There was a burst of laughter on the road, and this laughter was also full of the flavor of youth.
