"Just try it a couple of times. If you still can't master it, I'll teach you some other time," she said.
"Okay, thank you in advance, then." Guo Xinli smiled and then added, "Those two men probably removed the tire of your tricycle just now. Some garages are heartless like that! They won't last long. You have so much stuff here. Let me take you home first."
"But my tricycle..."
"Give me the keys. I'll have my colleague fix it for you and help you ride it back to your place. I have a tire shop right here in the market," said Guo Xinli.
"Thank you so much," said Zhuo Qianyun as she handed the electric tricycle's keys over to Lil Guo.
Lil Guo talked to his colleague, helped Zhuo Qianyun carry her stuff to his car, and drove her back to the store.
On their way, Zhuo Qianyun learned that Lil Guo had partnered up with a friend to open a shop but they had dissolved their partnership. He was now renting a store in the market by himself, selling electric bikes and various accessories. Sometimes, he would receive orders to modify cars.
"It's good to do business alone. It’s easy to have conflicting opinions when friends do business together, making it hard to go on," said Zhuo Qianyun.
"It's not that we had different opinions. It's just that..." Guo Xinli seemed troubled as he spoke.
Zhuo Qianyun knew it might be something he was too embarrassed to talk about, so she did not pursue it and changed the subject.
The car arrived in front of the store. Guo Xinli moved Zhuo Qianyun's goods from the car and greeted Mrs. Zhuo warmly. After finding out that the store's water pipes were always clogged, he took the tools from the car and helped fix their pipes.
