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

Chapter 395 All I need to do is help assemble the engine, just be a helper.
"What year were you born?" Zhao Yi asked the other person curiously.

“I’m 70, and I’m 24 this year,” Yu Dawei replied.

At only twenty-four, the people who had followed Zhao Yi to the barbershop all changed their expressions.

This also included the dark-skinned claws. The other party raised his head and wanted to talk to Jiang Shang, who was giving someone a hair treatment: "Second Brother, you're not making fun of us, are you? He's only twenty-four. Our excavator isn't exactly precious, but if we really let the young brother fix it, what if it breaks down and can't be fixed properly? Wouldn't that cause even more trouble?"

After finishing speaking, Claw glanced at Yu Dawei and asked incredulously, "I heard you opened a repair shop in your hometown? You're kidding, aren't you? Did you mistake a small door curtain for a repair shop?"

Yu Dawei was speechless. Just as he was about to retort, Zhao Yi suddenly spoke up and scolded Claw.

"Hey, how can you talk to Brother Dawei like that? Since Second Brother introduced him, he must know how to fix cars." Zhao Yi then turned his head, saying this, but there was a hint of doubt in his eyes. Finally, he looked at Jiang Shang, "Second Brother, should we look again?"

“Yes, Second Brother, this young man looks so young, he probably hasn’t been in the business for many years. Why don’t we look for someone else?” another person chimed in.

“I think so too. We don’t need to find a master craftsman, just a master who has been in the business for more than ten years, and let this young man help out.”

“I think it’s a good idea. This young man looks strong. Let him help the master with his work.”

Jiang Shang had just finished giving someone a hair treatment and now had time to turn around and look at the group: "Dawei may be young, but he has experience repairing excavators, and his father is a well-known mechanic in the surrounding area. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to run a repair shop."

"It's already very difficult to find a repairman in this situation. If you don't trust him, you can try looking again, but I don't think I can help much."

After Jiang Shang finished speaking, he sighed. "Do you think he didn't look for experienced mechanics? This morning, he asked several people to help him, but as soon as they heard that it was for repairing cars at the Fukang Building, they immediately lost the will to do so."

"Alright then." Zhao Yi could also sense the helplessness in Jiang Shang's tone, and finally could only pat Yu Dawei on the shoulder, "I'll send someone to pick you up tomorrow and help me fix an excavator. I'll find another person this year, so you can help each other out."

“The excavator engine is being repaired, and it’s only half installed now. If you can help me finish it without any problems, I’ll give you three thousand yuan.” Seeing the surprise on Yu Dawei’s face, Zhao Yi added, “Don’t be fooled by the amount; this is a bit dangerous. There’s a company from Yantian Trading Company that’s been keeping an eye on us. Just be careful and don’t come into contact with strangers, and you’ll be fine.”

"If anything really happens, we're here for you. We'll make sure nothing bad happens to you."

Yu Dawei nodded silently. He had overheard the group talking to Erdan last night, but since Erdan had already made arrangements with them, he would do his part to help.

One reason is that we're all from Northeast China, and another is that I promised Brother Erdan before I came.

As for the fact that these people all seem to distrust his skills, he can understand that.

If it were me, I would also be a little apprehensive about letting a young man in his twenties repair my car, which is worth hundreds of thousands of yuan.

If it's fixed, everyone's happy, but what if it can't be fixed? Putting aside whether the other party should pay compensation, just replacing the broken parts will be a painful expense.

Although Yu Dawei could understand, he still felt uncomfortable, so much so that he didn't say a word to the group of people until they left.

"Brother Erdan, have some fruit." Yu Dawei took out two bananas from his pocket. The bananas here were cheaper than he had imagined. The vendor said that the bananas were a local fruit of Shenzhen. Of course, they could also be found in other parts of the south, but the vendor insisted that the bananas from Shenzhen were sweeter than those from other places.

On the way back, Yu Dawei ate one and it felt no different from the bananas he had eaten in his past life.

"Dawei, you don't need to worry about safety regarding your help repairing Yizi's car. The three thousand yuan is just for installing the excavator's engine. I personally think that's a pretty good way to earn money, so I told Yizi and the others about your car repair skills."

Jiang Shang reached out and took a banana. "Of course, you can refuse if you don't want to. Don't be shy, I'll talk to them."

“Zhao Yi is not a bad person. He takes good care of his fellow Northeasterners. However, he is indeed in trouble now. He has expanded his business too much in the past two years, which has probably angered the locals,” Jiang Shang explained.

"Is the owner of that salt field a local?" Yu Dawei asked curiously, taking a bite of the peeled banana.

"I don't think so, but I heard that the power behind him is local." Jiang Shang also took a bite of his banana and sat down on the stool next to him. "If he didn't have a big shot backing him up, he wouldn't have had a place to stand in Shenzhen back then."

As Jiang Shang spoke, a hint of hatred was clearly visible deep in his eyes, and he unconsciously tightened his grip on the banana in his right hand.

Yu Dawei nodded upon hearing this, thinking to himself that he should carry a small crowbar or something for self-defense when he goes out in the future, otherwise what if he were really targeted?

As the saying goes, even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake.

"By the way, brother, when are you going to prepare for the wedding? If Zhao Yi's side is just assembling an excavator engine, I can get it done in two or three days." Yu Dawei looked up and glanced at the woman who was about to leave the barbershop before asking in a low voice.

There weren't many people in the barbershop at the moment, so I wasn't afraid of being overheard.

"Then let's finish fixing the car, and then we can go pick out a wedding venue together, and find an emcee and stuff." Jiang Shang smiled as he thought about the wedding ceremony, then his smile faded with worry. "Brother, are you really that good with your skills?" "Sigh, to be honest, even though I was on your side earlier, I wasn't really confident myself." Jiang Shang threw the banana peel into the cardboard trash can next to him. "We hired a mechanic before, a guy in his forties who's been repairing imported excavators for four or five years, but he still messed up when he was disassembling the engine."

"The valves on the cylinder head were perfectly fine, but he still managed to guess the problem. Later we realized that you don't necessarily know more about repairing cars just because you've been doing it for a long time; that guy was just a complete novice."

Jiang Shang felt that the repair industry was similar to his hairdressing industry. Some hair salons had been open for ten years, but what was the result? They were still not as efficient as the newcomers when he first entered the industry in terms of styling and cutting hair.

It can only be said that in any industry, if a person is not ambitious, they will definitely be eliminated.

Jiang Shang wasn't worried that Yu Dawei couldn't repair cars, after all, his grandfather was a car mechanic by trade, and he had even bought Yu Dawei's refurbished farm machinery back then.

His only concern was how many imported excavators the other party had repaired, and whether there might be any accidents during assembly because they hadn't had much experience with them.

"Brother, don't worry. My skills may not be the best, but assembling an imported engine set is no problem at all," Yu Dawei smiled at Jiang Shang.

Yu Dawei didn't know what to say at this moment. No matter how much he talked, it would just be bragging. It would be better to prove himself with practical actions.

When I saw Zhao Yi and the others off, everyone ignored me and chatted enthusiastically with Jiang Shang. This shows that they don't really think much of my repair skills.

If they weren't really unable to find a suitable person, they probably wouldn't have used themselves.

"Keep it up!" Jiang Shang patted Yu Dawei on the shoulder, and then chatted with Yu Dawei about some things related to the wedding arrangements.

Yu Dawei bought the groceries, and after the two cooked the meal, they ate and chatted.

It's worth mentioning that the rice in Shenzhen is really not that great, far inferior to the rice in Northeast China.

Yu Dawei complained about this for quite a while.

Jiang Shang smiled wryly. Of course he knew that the rice here wasn't as good as the rice back home, but this was already farm rice bought from a nearby village.

The two chatted for a while longer before Jiang Shang prepared to leave.

While there was still time, he needed to visit other barbershops, check their accounts, and also secretly observe the attitudes of the staff.

"Brother-in-law!"

Just as Jiang Shang finished greeting Yu Dawei and was about to leave, a girl suddenly ran in through the door.

The girl was wearing denim shorts and a pretty light pink short-sleeved shirt with a kitten embroidered on the chest. She also had a shoulder bag slung over her right hand.

The girl had long, flowing hair and a classic oval face. Although she had single eyelids, her eyes were large and sparkling when she looked into the room.

In an instant, Yu Dawei thought of an adjective from his past life: "eyes sparkling with clear stupidity."

He glanced at the other person and felt that the other person was probably around his age.

If the other person calls Jiang Shang "brother-in-law", then this person must be the sister-in-law's younger sister, and they do look somewhat alike.

"Why are you here again?" Jiang Shang's first reaction upon seeing his sister-in-law was not surprise, but horror.

It was as if they were facing an invincible ferocious beast; even their right foot, which had just stepped out, instinctively retracted.

"Your bank workplace is so far from here, you shouldn't keep coming here." Jiang Shang was truly at his wit's end with this girl.

She comes to my place to get her hair done at least three days a week, and then she doesn't pay me!

If you change your bangs hairstyle today and your hair color tomorrow, you'll be unable to control your hair, let alone your personality.

Jiang Shang tried to persuade her many times, but the crazy girl wouldn't listen at all. The most important thing was that he asked his wife to persuade her sister.

As a result, the two sisters started fighting as soon as they met, as if they were natural enemies. If Jiang Shang hadn't intervened, they probably would have been fighting like crazy.

"I do!" The girl didn't care at all what her brother-in-law had said to her. Instead, she looked at Yu Dawei with bright eyes and said, "Who are you? Your shoulders are so broad. Are they natural?"
