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

Chapter 325 Two kinds of engine oil? Never heard of that!

When Yu Dawei returned to the scene in the evening, he found Tang Chenwu still working diligently, and his anger subsided somewhat.

The child is still young, and Yu Dawei is not a heartless person. If the other party is obedient and does things honestly and conscientiously, he would not mind giving the other party another chance.

Tang Chenwu barely finished his work before the sun went down, and he got off the vehicle, exhausted.

Seeing the boss standing not far away, he gritted his teeth and finally ran over with a smile: "Boss, it's all done. Please check it again."

"I saw it, well done." Yu Dawei responded calmly, then said to Tang Chenwu earnestly, "Little Tang, you are still young, but youth is not a license for you to act recklessly, nor is talent. In principle, I have zero tolerance for people with a sloppy work attitude, but for you, I can give you another chance."

"Thank you, boss. I promise it won't happen again." Xiao Tang felt much relieved at this moment. He had been thinking all day that he probably wouldn't be able to keep this job for long.

"Okay." Yu Dawei patted the other person on the shoulder. He also hoped that this kid would stop courting death, otherwise he would not show any mercy.

Sun Shunli glanced at the two of them silently, and sighed inwardly.

The boss said that youth is not an asset, but he must have kept Xiao Tang because of his youth and talent.

Someone like him who learns things slowly, I don't know if he'll ever have the chance to work for Boss Yu again.

The three-month period is almost up.

The matter of Xiao Tang was considered closed. In the following days, Tang Chenwu did indeed do as he had promised, getting up early every day to wash up, having breakfast in the canteen, and then running to the construction site to be the first to start the vehicle and get to work.

On the other hand, Xu Huang has been suffering from insomnia lately, so much so that he stays in the office every day and doesn't go home until very late.

He went to the sand and gravel storage area for spot checks two or three more times in the past two months, but the results were still no problem.

Looking at the recent two months' income statements, most people might not care about such a small difference in weight, but he knew that there was definitely something wrong with Wang San's sand and gravel.

He returned to his dormitory from the office, but still couldn't fall asleep, tossing and turning in bed.

Now he was alone in this unfamiliar place. He didn't trust Lao Chang, after all, Xu Huang didn't know whether Lao Chang had been involved in the sand and gravel matter.

"Sigh." Unable to fall asleep, Xu Huang sat up in bed, picked up his clothes from the chair, put them on, and prepared to go for a walk.

The night is beautiful tonight. Although the moon is not full, the sky is clear and the moonlight is exceptionally bright. Walking on the ground, you can even see the small pebbles clearly.

Of course, Xu Huang was different from others; he was nearsighted, and even when he wore glasses at night, his astigmatism was severe.

As he walked, Xu Huang spotted several suspicious figures at the project site entrance. He was curious but didn't bother them. Instead, he hid on the side of a dump truck and squinted at the group.

Finally, he saw several people run into a dormitory. Although their faces were somewhat blurry, he could roughly guess who they were based on his memory.

There were four people. Three of them were Wang San's men: Master Ma, who operated the road roller; Master Liu, who operated the excavator; a man from the sand and gravel storage area; and the last one was actually one of Yu Dawei's men.

It's that guy named Tang Chenwu.

But what were they doing out so late at night?

Xu Huang thought for a moment and guessed that it might be because the young man was too energetic. However, because he thought of Yu Dawei, his instinctive thinking was somewhat resistant, so he didn't want to think about it too much.

He turned around and went back into his dormitory, closed his eyes to calm himself down, and thought about how he could take another opportunity to inspect the sand and gravel area soon.

That's just his personality. If he's convinced there's a problem, he'll do everything in his power to find it out. You could say he's stubborn.

Now Xu Huang is locked in a fierce battle with Ma San over sand and gravel.

The next day, Yu Dawei found Sun Shunli and Tang Chenwu early in the morning and gave them a few instructions, telling them to keep a close eye on things, as he needed to go back to Luhe Town.

Yesterday, Yu Dawei received news that the barbarian had driven the excavator into the trench, and the engine oil was leaking out from the crack in the distributor, staining a large area black.

This situation definitely required emergency repairs, so Yu Dawei didn't dare to delay in the morning. He first contacted Tang Chenwu and the other man, and then drove quickly towards the village below Luhe Town.

When Dawei arrived at the scene, thankfully the people were unharmed, but the excavator was in quite a mess.

According to Huang Man, the work had been quite heavy recently. The excavator was running fine at first, but then it started making a lot of noises. Finally, the right side of the excavator suddenly stopped moving, and he couldn't brake in time, so it plunged into the ditch.

Yu Dawei checked and found that the problem was indeed with the travel motor. In addition, the excavator's distributor was also broken.

Yu Dawei had anticipated that this piece of junk would cause him trouble, so he had contacted Boss Liang well in advance to prepare some small excavator parts for himself. Now that he could finally use them, Yu Dawei didn't dare to delay the project and quickly began repairing the wheeled excavator.

During the same few days that the excavator was being repaired, Tang Chenwu's road roller at the No. 4 section of the Youcheng Expressway construction site also encountered problems.

First, the front steel wheel started vibrating abnormally. Then, a day later, blue smoke began to come out of the roller's exhaust pipe. It barely managed to keep going.

During this time, Sun Shunli asked Xiao Tang with some concern whether they should tell Boss Yu, but Tang Chenwu refused outright, explaining that this was a normal phenomenon and nothing serious.

Anyway, ever since Tang Chenwu learned that Sun Shunli and Yu Dawei were not actually related and that the other party was a simpleton, he has not taken Sun Shunli seriously.

Upon hearing this, Sun Shunli could only remain silent, though a sense of unease lingered in his heart.

That night, as usual, Sun Shunli squatted by the door reading by the moonlight. Suddenly, a person walked out of the dormitory behind him. The person had a long beard, wore a vest, a dark blue jacket, and red long underwear.

"Master Ma, is something the matter?" Sun Shunli noticed that Master Ma was staring at him, so he stopped reading and turned to ask, puzzled.

Since Master Ma discovered two months ago that he was somewhat stubborn and unyielding, he gave up on teaching him and even ignored him on a daily basis.

However, occasionally when Tang Chenwu verbally provoked him, Master Ma would still show kindness and say a few good words for Sun Shunli.

Sun Shunli was quite polite to Master Ma.

"Come on, let's chat for a bit over there." Ma Gua reached out and touched the right side of his mustache, smiling as he spoke to Sun Shunli.

Sun Shunli was taken aback at first, then nodded and stood up, saying, "Okay, Master Ma, please wait for me for a moment. I'll put the book inside."

“Okay.” Ma Gua wasn’t in a hurry and waited patiently outside.

After entering the house, Sun Shunli changed into a thicker set of clothes and came out again. He then followed Master Ma all the way to the corner of the dormitory area.

This place is the boundary between the dormitories where the bosses live and the workers' dormitories. It was here that Sun Shunli saw another person standing there, leaning on a cane under his arm, with two followers beside him.

Sun Shunli stopped and hesitated for a moment.

"Don't be afraid, this is Master Wang. You have no grudge against us, and we really have no intention of harming you." Master Ma chuckled, his tone amiable: "On the contrary, we can help you."

"Master Ma, just say what you need to say here." Clearly, Sun Shunli didn't want to get too close to these people.

Ma Gua stood aside and sneered inwardly, thinking that this kid usually looked dull and stupid, but he was actually quite wary.

He was about to reach out and forcefully pull Sun Shunli over, but Wang San waved his hand.

“It’s alright. Your name is Sun Shunli. I’ve heard about your situation from Lao Ma.” Wang San approached slowly, leaning on his cane. “Not only are you not well-liked by Yu Dawei, but you’re also always bullied by a kid who’s seven or eight years younger than you. I know you must be feeling bad. Brother, you don’t need to be polite with me. Anyone would feel bad.”

“You are different from Xiao Tang. You are honest and kind. Xiao Tang is someone we use, but you are someone I want to recruit.”

Sun Shunli frowned, his grip on the recorder in his pocket tightening: "Using Xiao Tang? I don't quite understand what you're talking about."

“Telling you won’t hurt…” Wang San’s eyes flashed with cold light, and the hatred he harbored for Dawei in his bones completely erupted.

Meanwhile, Xiao Tang, lying in bed, saw Lao Ma send Sun Shunli away and then hurriedly got up: "What should we do, brothers? That lousy car is definitely going to break down tomorrow, and we won't be able to work! Our oil smuggling operation of the past two months is definitely going to be exposed tomorrow!"

Tang Chenwu was in a panic. Sun Shunli had been by his side the whole time, so he couldn't lash out.

But now that the other party has been sent away by Lao Ma, he can no longer control the fear in his heart.

Two months ago, his roommates taught him a trick: when changing the engine oil, he could pretend to pour out the bad oil and put in the good oil, then wait until night to drain the good oil out and put it back in the old oil. This way, he could sell the new oil and make a lot of money.

Tang Chenwu didn't know much about mechanical repair. He only heard Lao Ma and the others say that it didn't matter if the engine oil was used for a long time, and that it was the same even if it was changed after a certain number of working hours.

At first, everything was fine, but Tang Chenwu felt that the interval between oil changes was too long. He had to change to good oil once in between, otherwise the car would be ruined. So he decided to just go for it and use half good and half bad oil all the time.

Two months passed, and eventually a problem arose.

Just as Xiao Tang was panicking, a sigh came from the upper bunk. It was Master Liu, one of Master Ma's men: "I told you before, don't kill the goose that lays the golden eggs, but you wouldn't listen. I've never heard of mixed engine oil."
