CHAPTER 960: CHAPTER 962: BROKEN

Don’t underestimate even a small difference in procurement price. When operating on thin margins, even a small difference can amount to a significant sum.

"Shuyuan, you don’t look like a lawyer at all, but rather like a businessman," Xu Nianhua teased. Nowadays, Ji Shuyuan seems to have his mind set entirely on making money, right?

Ji Shuyuan glanced at her and said, "I’m just like Nian’an, managing without neglecting either side. In this upcoming holiday exam, I’ll definitely be among the top few."

Ji Shuyuan is very confident when it comes to studying. Even though he’s spent a lot of time on business, wherever he goes, he takes his notes and reviews them whenever he has time.

"Impressive."

Xu Nianhua gave him a thumbs up. No wonder he became such a capable lawyer. It seems that he has been putting in a lot of hard work, as you can tell from how he does things.

The store is managed efficiently, and his studies haven’t fallen behind.

A lawyer!

Xu Nianhua always thought that law is a very difficult major to study. She would never be able to memorize legal texts, perhaps because she has a talent for languages?

Xu Nianhua consoled herself with this thought. In the evening, around 4 p.m., Xu Nianji came to pick them up and take them home. When they returned to their grandfather’s house, they saw their grandfather pacing around the radio, looking very worried.

"Nian’an, come quickly and see if I’ve broken the radio. I just took a nap, and now it’s not making any sound."

Ji Xinghua looked at the radio, and following Xu Nian’an’s method, he pressed the switch. But the switch was useless; there was no sound coming out at all, just a stretched noise that scared Ji Xinghua into thinking it was broken, so he didn’t dare to touch it again.

Now seeing Xu Nian’an and the others returning, he felt like he saw his saviors and said, "I really didn’t drop it, so why is it not making any sound?"

"Grandpa, don’t worry." Xu Nian’an, seeing his grandfather sweating buckets, quickly comforted him, "It’s not broken; it’s just out of power. We just need to replace the battery."

The battery Xu Nian’an just took was used previously to test the radio. It was used for quite a while, so it seems it just ran out of power now.

"These batteries don’t last long, do they?" Ji Xinghua watched as Xu Nian’an put in two new batteries and, sure enough, once the new batteries were in place, the radio started working again with sound.

"Grandpa, with new batteries, you can still listen for ten days to half a month, don’t worry. When the batteries are out, just come to me for more."

Seeing Ji Xinghua listening intently, Xu Nian’an said happily.

"No need, Grandpa, when the batteries are out, just tell me, and I’ll keep some spare batteries at home," Ji Shuyuan said with a smile, thinking that as long as his grandfather is happy, even if he asks for more than just a few sets of batteries, he wouldn’t hesitate to spend all his money.

Ever since he was young, his grandfather raised him hand in hand. Now that he has the means, he wishes he could give all the good things to his grandfather.

"That’s too wasteful," Ji Xinghua said a little heartbroken and asked, "Shuyuan, how much does a battery cost? Is it expensive?"

"Not expensive," Ji Shuyuan answered without thinking. "Besides, I’ve heard of rechargeable batteries that can be used continuously. Grandpa, surely you don’t think your grandson can’t afford even batteries, right?"

Ji Shuyuan intentionally said this.

Ji Xinghua immediately said, "Of course not, my grandson is the best."

Ji Xinghua looked proudly at his grandson and then at Xu Nian’an and Xu Nianhua, saying, "And my grandsons and granddaughters, you are all my pride!"
