Jiang Jun contemplated for a moment and replied, “I don’t really understand these technical matters. Please help me with the data transfer. I’d rather not go through the trouble of selling it.”
The repairman acknowledged, “Sure, I’ll handle it for you. After all, this involves your privacy, and 1 can’t access it without your consent.”
Jiang Jun provided his email address to the repairman, saying, “Copy everything and send it directly to this email.”
The repairman smiled and said, “Got it. I’ll make sure to do it right.”
He then added, “By the way, brother, this phone is pretty much a goner. Would you consider selling it to me for 35 yuan? It’s not worth much in its current condition.”
Jiang Jun was surprised. With the phone in such a state, he didn’t expect it to have any resale value. He asked, “This broken thing has resale value?”
The repairman explained, “Certainly. Recycling old phones is quite common these days.”
Jiang Jun agreed, “Fine. Once all the data is copied and cleared from the phone, it’s yours.”
The repairman accepted the offer.
After more than ten minutes, Jiang Jun inquired, “How’s the progress? How much longer will it take?”
The repairman checked the computer and responded, “Given the amount of data, it’ll take some time. If you have anything important to attend to, I can stop here first. You can leave first and come back and continue later when you are free. After all, your data is your privacy. If you’re not around, 1’11 be in trouble if anything happens.”
Jiang Jun was a bit bored but didn’t dare to leave. He sighed, “It’s fine. I’m on leave anyway. I’ll just wait here.”
The repairman appreciated the trust. “Great, please take a seat and wait. The customer usually stays around during this process. Some people trust us and do other things while we work. When they return, they collect their devices. But most of the time, customers prefer to wait here.”
Jiang Jun inquired curiously, “Are you the only one here?”
The repairman affirmed, “This shop is my own. I prefer working alone. It’s quieter. When it gets too crowded, 1 tend to talk too much.”
Jiang Jun was surprised that the shop owner ran the store by himself. He remarked, “I see that you have a lot of customers. Don’t you need additional help? You could miss out on business.”
The repairman smiled and explained, “I maintain my costs this way.”
Jiang Jun commented, “From the looks of it, you’ve never had a loss. Don’t you serve any coffee here?”
Jiang Jun was a little vexed. Wherever he usually went, no matter what, he would be served a cup of coffee. This place was indeed incomparable.
The repairman was stunned for a moment. Then, he said, “Only barley tea. Is that okay?”
Jiang Jun’s face was full of resistance. Jiang Jun said, “Forget it, just give me a glass of water.”
The repairman said, “There’s a water dispenser over there. The paper cup is under there. You can pour it yourself.”
Jiang Jun looked helpless. He had forgotten that this was only a maintenance shop. There were no service staff serving tea or water. Jiang Jun walked to the water dispenser and poured himself a cup of water.
Then, he sat on a bar stool at the side. Soon, Jiang Jun grew impatient. He stood up and said, “How much longer do you need?”
The repairman glanced at the computer and replied, “Bro, you have to be patient. We’re at around 10% now. Why don’t you watch some TV to pass the time?”
With that, he handed Jiang Jun the remote control.
Jiang Jun was increasingly frustrated. Sitting in this repair shop was uncomfortable, and watching TV didn’t interest him. However, there was little he could do but to reluctantly take the remote control and switch channels.
In the Li family’s study, Li Yu stood near the window, listening to his assistant’s report regarding Jiang Jun’s actions.
Upon hearing the report, Li Yu spoke nonchalantly, “Have you obtained everything?”
The assistant nodded and confirmed, “Yes, I’ve successfully acquired everything.”
Li Yu inquired, “It seems that these data are of great importance to Jiang Jun.”
The assistant stood at a respectful distance from Li Yu, feeling the intensity of his presence, and grew increasingly apprehensive.
The assistant replied, “Indeed, it appears that way. However, the majority of the data pertains to Jiang Jun and Bai Xue. We’ve managed to sanitize any scandalous content related to Miss Jiang.”
Li Yu mused, “I see. How has Bai Xue been recently?”
The assistant conveyed, “She’s full of energy and continues to put her many admirers up to doing her dirty work, but they have all been unsuccessful..”
