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

Chapter 300 Recruiting, an Uninvited Guest Arrives

“That’s why I always tell you to read more books.” Duan Dahai picked up his chopsticks and pointed to the southwest corner of the window. “My old book section usually has at least a thousand books, all sorts of random ones. It just depends on whether you flip through them or not.”

"What are you saying? If I loved reading and learning, would I be running a small parts shop in this town? I would have started a big company in a big city long ago." Boss Liang let out a speechless hiccup and rested his hands on the kang mat.

“No matter what happens to the flour mill, there will definitely be results in a few days. If they really replace the equipment, there’s no way they’ll go bankrupt.” Yu Dawei put down his wine glass and patiently advised Brother Duan: “On the other hand, if there really is news of a bankruptcy, it’s impossible to hide it.”

When Yu Dawei got to this point, he deliberately glanced at Brother Duan's expression. Seeing that the other seemed to have taken it to heart, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He was reluctant to let Brother Duan pay too much attention to the flour mill in town, mainly because he was afraid of a repeat of the tragedy from his previous life.

I remember talking to him a few years later, and how the flour mill explosion indirectly destroyed the breadwinners of many families.

What he cared about most was Brother Duan. If he really took over the flour mill, his family would be able to hold their heads high in the village and regain the self-respect they had lost for many years. But what good would it be if he lost his life?

After Duan Dahai talked about the flour mill for a few more minutes, the group moved on to the next topic.

The three of them drank until late at night in a daze. Yu Dawei vaguely remembered that after giving Brother Duan 15,000 yuan, he fell asleep on the kang (a heated brick bed).

The next day, after the three of them washed their faces and tidied up the house, Yu Dawei went to the Guan family with Duan Dahai and handed over the courtyard where Fanfan's repair shop was located to Yu Dawei.

There's also the issue of taxes and fees involved, which amount to a few dozen yuan.

After finishing, Yu Dawei took Brother Duan back to the scrap metal transfer station, and then went to Fanfan's repair shop. Recently, the workers at the shop had been doing the work, and he would only go there occasionally.

He plans to observe the situation first. If the factory can operate without him, he can let go of it later and come to visit whenever he has free time.

When Yu Dawei arrived at Fanfan Repair Shop, he was startled. The western part of the yard was mostly occupied by long-distance buses. The second team, including Lao Ji, was working quickly to maintain and repair the vehicles, and there were constant calls for wrenches.

"Old Ji, what's going on? Why are all the cars going to the county here?" Yu Dawei walked quietly to Old Ji's side, who was repairing the gear shift in the car.

These buses weren't just from their village, but also from Minquan, Hanjiagang Village, Chuhua, and so on...

"Huh? Boss! You're so unpredictable, it's scary!" Old Ji was focused on repairing the car when his boss patted him on the shoulder from behind, startling him. "There's a repair shop in the county that hasn't been open for a while. Didn't that bus driver from Hanjiagang Village come to our shop for repairs before the New Year? After he advertised it like this, it seems like the prices are about the same, and since we pass through town every day, we all bring our buses here for maintenance."

As Lao Ji spoke, his hands kept moving. There were six buses in total, almost two-thirds of the buses from the town had arrived, and they were all in a hurry because the buses would leave before dark. He couldn't help but be anxious.

"Alright. Before you leave, use the air pump to blow away any dust and make it clean. Otherwise, if the bus is all dirty after the repairs, people will complain." Yu Dawei said this and jumped from the bus door to the ground.

"Don't worry, boss. We do this every day, so we can't neglect it." Old Ji knew very well that Boss Yu was a car mechanic who was particularly meticulous about details. He would pass on many of the subtle instructions for car repair in a step-by-step manner.

Everyone knows that changing locations means changing the rules, so no one has any objections.

Yu Dawei drove around the factory again, and seeing that everyone's repairs were going well, he prepared to drive away.

He'll have to go to section nine a few more times soon; I have a feeling that Boss He is up to something!

In addition, he also had to find some people to help him build the repair shop and living quarters in the factory.

Yu Dawei planned to go to his third uncle about this matter. He should know quite a few bricklayers under his command, whether it was Qi Daduzi or Si Tuzi.

As Yu Dawei was thinking and opening the car door, he suddenly noticed a dark, fat figure at the door.

To say he was fat would be a better word than to describe him as robust. Huang Man's physique was the kind where you could see fat all over his arms, thighs, and belly at a glance.

The man standing at the gate in the distance was a well-proportioned, muscular man. Yu Dawei found his face strangely familiar, as if he'd seen it somewhere before, but couldn't quite place it.

The man was carrying a dark green package and staring intently at Yu Dawei. The two locked eyes for a while before the man gritted his teeth and strode towards Yu Dawei.

Before he could even speak, the other person suddenly knelt down on the ground with a "plop," saying, "Brother-in-law!"

This loud voice instantly drew the attention of everyone in the factory.

Someone was still doing repairs inside the bus. Upon hearing this, they quickly put down their work and looked out the window towards the boss.

"Who is this guy? The boss's brother?" "Who knows? He's probably a relative who saw that the boss opened a repair shop and wanted to freeload."

"Hurry up and fix the bus, stop gossiping here." Taozi, the former captain of the second squad, knocked on the side of the bus next to him.

The four guys under him are usually honest and hardworking, and they never gossip while working. But recently, perhaps because of the new environment and new things, they occasionally start talking nonsense while working.

After they arrived, the captain still appointed himself as the leader of the second squad. So he had to talk to these four people from time to time, so that Boss Yu wouldn't find any problems.

As for why Captain Ji assigned himself to the second squad, since there was no first squad, he didn't know what the other party was thinking.

Of the four people under him, Lao Zhao and Ben Jun also work part-time as repairmen for him. They are mainly responsible for the field rescue team and even have their own field rescue vehicle. Taozi was extremely envious.

But these were all arrangements made by the captain, and there was nothing he could do about it.

On the other side, Yu Dawei was stunned by the word "brother-in-law" and the kneeling, and instantly remembered who the other person was!
Who else could it be but Sun Shunli, the seemingly honest man who met her when she visited her mother-in-law's house after the New Year!

He is also the father of Han Yanyan from Hanjiagang, but he became a father unexpectedly.

"Brother, what are you doing! Get up! Let's talk this out!" Yu Dawei took two steps to the other person, bent down, stretched out his hands, grabbed the other person's arms, and was about to lift him up.

But this guy is big and burly, and if Yu Dawei really can't figure him out, there's really nothing he can do.

"Brother-in-law! I've rented out the land at home, and I've also sent my wife to jail. Now I have no ties. I only beg you to take me in for the sake of our brief meeting. Let me be a driver or a mechanic, anything that will keep me here!" Sun Shunli, a tall man of 1.88 meters, ignored Yu Dawei's hands as he lifted him up and knelt on the ground, kowtowing three times.

He not only adopted an extremely humble posture, but also spoke with utmost discretion.

He didn't mention it was for Xiao Fan's sake, because he was only able to establish a connection with the Han family through Han Yanyan. Now that Han Yanyan had been sent to prison, he had no further connection with the Han family.

So he was referring to a brief encounter.

Knowing that she had little connection with Boss Yu, she lowered her stance even further.

For rural people, getting ahead and learning a skill without paying is harder than climbing to heaven.

He is 24 years old this year. Ever since he sent Han Yanyan to prison, he has been thinking about making a name for himself, earning a living through his skills, no longer relying on the weather, and making those in the village who looked down on him look at him with new respect.

"Brother, get up first. We're about the same age. I can't take it if you keep kowtowing to me like this," Yu Dawei said with a helpless expression, trying to persuade him.

“Brother-in-law, I came here today because I’m determined to work for you. If you don’t agree, I’d rather kneel until I die than get up!” Sun Shunli said firmly, his expression unusually serious.

Yu Dawei narrowed his eyes, withdrew his hands, and gave the other person a deep look.

Did he really think he was still the same Yu Dawei who didn't want to think about anything? It's hard to say what the other party was up to, but judging from the other party's "coercive" attitude, Yu Dawei found him extremely disliked and had even given him the worst score in his mind.

Helping you is a favor, not helping you is my right. What's the point of you forcing me to help you in front of everyone?

Besides, Yu Dawei was also curious about the fact that this guy had sent his wife to prison and wanted to find out more about it.

After all, Han Yanyan had smeared Han Jingfan back then, and even Dawei wanted to find time to deal with her.

After thinking it over, Yu Dawei came up with an idea and helped the other person up again: "Get up quickly, okay? I promise you, but I'm making it clear beforehand that besides providing food and lodging, I won't give you a single penny. We'll talk about it when you've made something of yourself."

“No problem! I came here to learn a trade from my brother-in-law. I’ll do any dirty or hard work.” Sun Shunli was happy to hear that Yu Dawei had agreed, and he grinned at him.

"Fine, you said it yourself. If you don't do well, don't blame me for turning my back on you and kicking you out." Yu Dawei finally helped the other person up, but his tone and expression were particularly stern.

"Brother-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely work hard and study hard!" Sun Shunli knew that Yu Dawei had some dislike for him, so he quickly patted his chest and made a serious promise.

"Alright then." Yu Dawei didn't say anything more. "Let's go inside and talk in detail about what's going on here."
