What made Xu Sanqiang the most indignant was that, back when they were in B Team, he had been much more popular than Gu Ye. 

He was smooth-talking, could play the erhu, and could even be considered a bit of a cultured artist. Quite a lot of female soldiers used to secretly admire him. 

-Erhu (a traditional Chinese string instrument)

Yet now, Gu Ye, who never had any luck with women, had somehow ended up with such a stunning wife, one who was not only beautiful but also virtuous, capable, and considerate. 

There wasn’t a single flaw to be found. Xu Sanqiang was practically turning green with envy.

Gu Ye, on the other hand, was full of smugness. 

He chuckled and even threw out a sentence that really made people want to smack him.

“What can I say? I’m God’s favorite son.”

“I praise you a word and you get cocky, huh, you brat!”

Xu Sanqiang kicked him in annoyance.

The brothers laughed and played around, as if going back to their time in B Team. 

Gu Ye eventually stopped them from eating more jianbing.

-Jianbing / Savory chinese pancakes 

“Save some room for dinner. My wife’s cooking is definitely at the level of a chef!”

“No doubt! This beef sauce alone already proved it.”

Xu Sanqiang, who had a picky palate, could tell from just one taste that Chu Qiao’s cooking was top-notch. 

He was already looking forward to the feast tonight.

Gu Ye put the jianbing away and brewed a few more cups of tea. Then he began to talk about selling machine tools. 

This was the first time he brought it up. Though Xu Sanqiang and the others had arrived days ago, Gu Ye hadn’t mentioned it. 

Xu Xanqiang didn’t ask either, as he trusted his brother.

“Selling machine tools? I don’t even know what those are. Can they actually sell?”

Xu Sanqiang hesitated, he was afraid of holding his brother back.

Han Shizhong and Bao Fushan had the same concern. 

Making money or not was one thing, they just didn’t want to trouble Gu Ye.

Qian Liujin, on the other hand, didn’t seem worried at all.

“What’s hard about that? I used to sell surplus vegetables at the market all the time, it’s not hard.”

Smack! 

Xu Sanqiang hit him on the head.

“Selling vegetables and selling machine tools are two totally different things. Vegetables cost a few cents per catty. A machine tool costs tens of thousands. One machine tool could buy a whole mountain of vegetables. How can that be the same?”

Qian Liujin immediately felt uneasy and stuttered, “Then maybe I should just go back to selling vegetables?” 

He was afraid that if he sold such a valuable item worth tens of thousands of yuan incorrectly, he would not be able to afford to compensate.  

Smack! 

Another smack to the head, but this time from Gu Ye.

“What kind of career prospect in selling vegetables? You won’t even get a wife that way. I called you guys here because I’ve already thought it all through. Just think about it, what could be harder than fighting a war? If we can win battles, we can definitely sell machine tools. It’s fine if you don’t understand right now. First, I’ll arrange for you to intern in the workshops to learn and familiarize yourself with how machine tools are assembled. We’re not in a hurry to sell, we must study the product first!”

Gu Ye had already made the plans long ago. He wasn’t going to send his brothers into battle unarmed. 

The reason why he dared to transfer to the sales department was because during his time in the security department, he often wandered around various workshops, chatted with the engineers, and even helped out from time to time. 

He learned how to cast bed frames, scrape guide rails, level the base, connect oil and air pipes, install control boxes, and wiring. 

He could even debug the machines. Maybe it was because he had a natural talent for mechanics, so he picked it up quickly. 

But of course, he was not a professional, and he didn’t need to be one. 

For a salesperson, understanding a bit more about each process was already more than enough.

These knowledge were crucial when selling. Otherwise, if a salesperson didn’t even understand their own product, how could they explain it to a customer?

It’d be like a chicken talking to a duck, nobody would understand each other.

Gu Ye continued, “You’ll need at least three months of training to properly understand gear hobbing machines. During this period, you’ll be paid as temporary workers at 60 yuan per month. I’ll arrange housing through the factory, the four of you will share one room. The base pay is a bit low, but as long as the machine tool is sold, you’ll earn 5% commission on every machine tool sold. This is merit-based income.”
