In 1992, a small village owner became the richest man in the village by owning a car.

Chapter 162 He Huihui's Interpreting Ability
The next morning, Huang Ma drove her car to YZ District. Yu Dawei and the other two squeezed into the back seat, leaving the passenger seat empty.

Huang Ma was driving a new, black Dongfeng Citroen.

Yu Dawei vaguely remembered that this Citroën was probably distributed by Shenlong Company, and the model was Citroën ZX, also known as Fukang, a hatchback sedan. It's a pity that even though the car was very good, Shenlong Company later disappeared into the annals of history.

Huang Ma said that she used to ride a bicycle in the past, but last year a newly opened hot pot restaurant was too far from where she lived, so she bought a car at the beginning of the year.

Yu Dawei praised Huang Ma for her good taste, saying that buying this car now would be very cost-effective, a case of losing money to gain publicity.

The reason why Shenlong Company was able to lose money in the later period was because it was unable to make ends meet. The price was set too low in the market. Relying solely on the financial support of the two banks, it was only a matter of time before it went bankrupt.

The group arrived at the foot of an upscale residential building. The aroma of Chongqing noodles wafted from the two streets outside the complex. Occasionally, passersby would glance at the black sedan parked nearby, since not many families could afford a car at this time.

"Aunt Huang, is that the one standing at the entrance of the community?" Yu Dawei, sitting in the middle of the back seat, could see it more clearly.

She was a girl wearing a pale yellow dress with a matching coat, a brown crossbody bag slung over her shoulder, black leggings, and red leather shoes.

The girl looked to be in her early twenties, with long hair draped over her shoulders and a white knitted hat on her head.

"Xiao Huihui." Following Yu Dawei's directions, Huang Ma saw the other person, opened the car door, got out, and waved to her.

"Aunt Huang." The girl ran over and hugged Aunt Huang warmly when she saw her. "It's been so long!"

"Yes, you've grown into a beautiful young woman in just a few years. You're getting prettier and prettier." Aunt Huang pulled He Huihui back and said, "Come on, let's get in the car first."

“Okay.” He Huihui nodded obediently.

Then Huang Ma introduced Yu Dawei, Yao Jinfu, and Huang Man to He Huihui, and gave a more detailed introduction to Huang Man.

That means these people have exchanged greetings.

Afterwards, Huang Ma drove the car to Master Lü's place. Yu Dawei learned from yesterday's lesson and took all the tools, useful and useless, from the small warehouse with him when he left.

After a quick tidying up, the group drove two cars towards the location of the Qianshan Mine.

Before leaving, Yu Dawei gestured to Fu Zi with his eyes, asking him to ride in Master Lü's pickup truck with him, so that Huang Man and He Huihui would have more opportunities to interact in Huang Ma's car.

Knowing that Yu Dawei was a good driver, Master Lü simply tossed the keys to him and then leisurely sat in the passenger seat, sipping his large bottle of tea.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Yao Jinfu glanced at Huang Ma and the others following behind him and asked, "Brother, do you think He Huihui and Huang Mancheng can get together?"

"It's just a simple meeting. Trust me, Huang Ma has prepared more than just this one as a potential wife for Manzi." Yu Dawei gripped the steering wheel with one hand, like a wise man.

Mr. Lü, standing to the side, remained noncommittal. His son was already married when he was Huang Man's age, so it was impossible for a parent not to be anxious.

Yu Dawei didn't care much about this little incident; everything depended on Huang Man's own choice.

He noticed in the rearview mirror that Huang Ma's driving skills were quite good and she could keep up with him, so he increased his speed slightly.

Before eight o'clock in the morning, the group arrived at the location of the excavator at the mine.

Yu Dawei walked into the garage, found all the parts that had been removed from the engine, and glanced at the cardboard covering it. It looked the same as it had yesterday.

"When is Mr. Huang coming?" Master Lü asked as he walked over. Behind him, Huang Man and Yao Jinfu were taking toolboxes out of the pickup truck.

Yu Dawei picked up the parts and walked outside: "They said it would be eight o'clock, it should be soon. Pour some gasoline into your empty can. The engine is too dirty, the parts need to be cleaned properly."

"Okay." Master Lü put down his large teacup and started moving tools and a small half-can of gasoline that had been specially loaded onto the truck with the others.

Huang Ma and He Huihui were resting in the Citroen car. After all, they had gotten up very early and there was still some time before lunchtime, so they rested in the car for a while.

The next time, Yu Dawei and the others began cleaning the usable parts. Soon after, Wang Xiaomeng arrived and, as instructed by Chef Yu, brought over a lot of useless cardboard boxes from the canteen kitchen.

Yu Dawei's habit of repairing cars is never without cardboard boxes; these are just as important as the tools in his hands throughout his repair career.

Around 8:10 a.m., Huang Fengcang arrived in a white pickup truck, the bed and cargo box filled with parts.

Several people put down their work and began to move parts off the vehicle.

“I’ve hired a crane, it should arrive around nine o’clock. It’ll be with you all day, and it’ll also help you fix your car.” Huang Fengcang finished speaking and glanced at the broken Atlas 3306L in the distance. “I still have to deal with those old guys, so the rest is up to you.” “Don’t worry, I’ll work hard on the installation today, and it should be up and running by tomorrow afternoon at the latest.” Yu Dawei said seriously, his expression extremely earnest.

Huang Fengcang nodded, patted Yu Dawei on the shoulder, and left without saying anything.

At this point, saying anything is useless; waiting is the best option. He didn't even bother to cause trouble for Four-Eyes and Xu Gong; it's too early for all of this.

In short, wait. Wait for the result, wait for the reckoning.

The installation work was a very meticulous job. Yu Dawei and Master Lü did all the work, while others cleaned the parts or removed dirt from the excavator frame to prevent accidents from happening during installation.

As time went by, it was noon. True to her word, Huang Ma had specially arranged for someone to bring food and drinks from the restaurant. She stayed with Yu Da and the others the whole time. If any of them dared to mess with the three children, she would definitely be the first to rush up and argue with them!
Strangely enough, Yu Dawei didn't run into the bespectacled man or those foreigners from Germany all morning.

This made Yu Dawei increasingly uneasy.

Around midnight, as people left the cafeteria in waves and the two excavators belonging to Bao Wan were driven away by workers, Yu Dawei saw Lucas again.

However, when the two looked at each other this time, Lucas, who was in the garage in the distance, clearly avoided eye contact.

When Yu Dawei noticed that Four-Eyes wasn't around Lucas, he hurriedly asked Huang Man to call He Huihui over, but then quietly beckoned to Lucas.

Lucas was planning to go back to the break room with his colleagues for lunch today, but when he saw Yu Dawei waving at him, he instinctively tried to pretend he didn't see him.

But unlike his other colleagues, he had worked his way up to become a repair engineer, and he had a great passion for repair and a deep faith in it.

He instinctively resisted the arrangements made by the mine's leaders.

"Hey, Lucas, why aren't you leaving?" A colleague who got along well with Lucas asked when he saw him spacing out.

Lucas shrugged: "Damn, Chinese food is so delicious. I once ate so much that I had to walk around to digest it."

"Haha, you're really something. But Chinese food is really good, and you can earn so much money without doing anything. I don't want to go back to China anymore." The colleague smiled at Lucas. "I have things to do this afternoon, so come back early."

“Okay.” Lucas nodded in response, then turned and walked around the forklift in the garage to where Yu Dawei and his group were.

At this moment, Master Lü was leading Wang Xiaomeng and Yao Jinfu to continue installing the four sets of engine components, while Yu Dawei was leading He Huihui to wait for Lucas to arrive under the excavator boom. This place was relatively secluded, with the vehicle frame behind them, which could completely block the view of passersby.

Huang Man stood outside the parallel line of the upper arm, observing the situation of the people nearby.

When Lucas arrived, he found a beautiful Chinese woman there. He first gave her a polite nod, and then pointed to himself at Yu Dawei.

He wanted to ask the other person what they wanted to talk to him about.

“Tell him to speak German, we can understand him.” Yu Dawei glanced at He Huihui.

Upon hearing this, He Huihui began to communicate with Lucas in German.

At first, Lucas was a little surprised that the woman in front of him could speak German, but then he found that she spoke German very fluently and gradually lost his previous nervousness.

After exchanging a few words, He Huihui finally got the key information out of him and turned to translate for Yu Dawei: "He said that yesterday he followed their leader and hoped to sabotage your engine repair efforts tonight."

He added that, regardless of cultural considerations, he felt mechanical repair should not be treated like this; it is sacred.

Yu Dawei raised an eyebrow and turned to He Huihui: "Thank him for me. My hands are oily, so I won't shake hands with him, but I'm glad to be friends with him. My name is Yu Dawei."

After He Huihui finished translating word by word, she saw the other person's eyes suddenly brighten and the corners of their mouth turn up in a smile.

“Lucas.” Lucas, disregarding the grease on Yu Dawei’s hands, reached out and firmly grasped the other’s hand: “I am a German, I am a German, and I am a German, ...

"He said his name is Lucas. He saw you repairing a car yesterday and knows you are a very skilled repair engineer. He is very happy to become friends with you." He Huihui translated directly while the other person was speaking, which is an extremely difficult type of interpretation.

Yu Dawei was somewhat surprised by He Huihui's translation skills; he would never have believed she hadn't worked as a translator before.

He Huihui didn't notice Yu Dawei's gaze. Listening to Lucas's words, she continued to translate: "He also said that if you have the opportunity, he hopes you can visit Oude. As a friend, he will definitely take you to see many devices that are even better than Atlas."

"It's a deal." Yu Dawei didn't dislike people who loved mechanics so much, even if the other person was a foreigner. He could genuinely feel their passion for mechanical repair.
