Right, I had to actually fix my fan, that I bought for around 10€ on AliExpress after only recieving it for 1 day, and it took me a couple days to figure out what wires got wrecked by the shit design of the hinge and plastic infront of the fan and at the bottom
and now it's an absolute bodge job where I had to use plyers to break a big chunk of the plastic off
now I did put a dispute in (mostly because the seller didnt communicate at all, and for the principle, more than the like 10€)
Here's a before and after (i shouldn't need to label them)

@Fluttershyfan94 yeah, it's a bit of a fire hazard (And now I make sure I an supervising it when I charge it),
I would use electical tape, but I aint got it, so it's just make sure they dont touch (though luckilly the fan itself has some protection, which saved my arse a good few times when trying to fix it) and supervise it closely.
same with my speaker (I had to fix that in a similar fashion, though that is a lot safer due to the spacing)

Haha yeah I mean if you are serious about using this thing I would recommend keeping it supervised as you do. I am not an electrician but what I have worked with in regards to it and soldering those are the smallest wires I have seen makes sense given you have to charge it. Though with such small wires and certain current they would get hot and potentially catch on fire. I would actually be mindful of the charging pod itself given it is a charged fan I am expecting an electric current of about a volt so the wires should be fine for the most part given the fan itself isn't demanding a strong current however the charging itself might possible be somewhat dangerous.

@Fluttershyfan94 yeah,
like I'm not very knowledgeable about electricity beyond the basics to not die when fixing things electronic related
the wires I used were much stronger than the original wires within (to protect it as far as possible) that I got from an old phone charger (the plug for my phone always damages on them)
The charging could probably get dangerous, yeah, that's true
