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

Chapter 435 Ask for advice
Yu Dawei then continued to help Agui put up banners on the wall. Not long after, Duan Xiaowu walked out of the office building with his head hanging low and looking very dejected.

Yu Dawei was holding the ladder for A Gui with both hands. Seeing the other's grief-stricken look, he shook his head speechlessly: "I've heard about it. It's just that the person you like doesn't like you. What's the big deal?"

"Didn't you keep saying you wanted to learn car repair from me? Your dad said you have to come with me this summer and be my apprentice." Yu Dawei narrowed his eyes, seeing that the kid still looked like he was going to give up, and sighed inwardly.

Love... it really is the taste of youth.

"I'm not learning anymore. I originally thought learning to operate an excavator would bring me closer to Yu Fang, but it's useless now. She doesn't like me anyway." Duan Xiaowu pouted, feeling indescribably sad and wronged.

On the day his summer vacation started, he specially bought a small bouquet of flowers from the county, thinking that since the two of them were already quite familiar with each other, even if he refused, it wouldn't be too much of a problem.

As a result, Yu Fang threw his flowers on the ground and turned away.

She even said very resolutely, "I would rather fall for a pig than for you. Give up on me."

That's so hurtful, so hurtful! Is this something Yu Fang should have said? She could have at least rejected me more tactfully!
Now, I guess the whole school probably sees him as a joke.

"A man's word is his bond. If you've said it before, you have to do it." Yu Dawei stretched out his thick right arm and put it around Duan Xiaowu's neck. "Besides, you're going to become my apprentice and follow me. You'll travel all over the country and see all kinds of beautiful women. You need to have a long-term vision, understand?"

Yu Dawei tried everything he could to prevent this guy from working in the flour mill. Judging from his listless and absent-minded appearance, it was highly likely that he had dropped out of school and then burned down the flour mill because of a broken heart.

It's hard to say, but Yu Dawei needs to nip the danger in the bud.

He needs to rekindle this guy's desire and passion for life.

"From all corners of the world? Where are we going?" Duan Xiaowu's lifeless eyes twitched slightly, and he looked up at Yu Dawei.

The farthest he had ever been since he was a child was the county. His father often went out to deliver garbage, but he felt ashamed and never went with him.

Now, hearing Uncle Yu say he was going far away, the image of poetry and distant places suddenly jumped into his mind. In an instant, he thought of the ancient poets, their figures filled with frustration and unfulfilled ambitions.

"I don't know, but it definitely won't be in my hometown." Yu Dawei released the other man's neck, looking at him with a smile. "Interested?"

"Then... you'll be my master from now on?" Duan Xiaowu asked with his innocent, wide eyes.

"NONONO!" Yu Dawei stretched out his index finger and waved it from side to side. "I have very high standards for accepting apprentices. I also have to look at your daily performance. But after all, you are quite to my liking. You are definitely going to be my apprentice."

Yu Dawei then fed the other party several bowls of inspirational platitudes, making him completely dazed. It wasn't until after lunch that he left with A Gui and Duan Xiaowu.

As for clothes and other necessities, Yu Dawei didn't let Duan Dahai worry about it; he could just grab a set from the market.

Duan Dahai stood at the "No Smoking" gate, watching the little red car disappear into the distance belching black smoke. His eyes were filled with complex emotions. In the end, he could only sigh and turn around to continue dealing with his mess.

Two days ago, he went to see Director Yu again, but was still refused. Although the director really wanted to help the flour mill, he was only a few years away from retirement, and it would be unwise for him to quit now.

Duan Dahai ultimately had to return empty-handed.

Fortunately, the rice issue has been almost finalized with the people in Qiqihar, and now it all depends on the construction speed of the workshop.

Meanwhile, Yu Dawei, along with one apprentice and one prospective apprentice, returned to the old village first.

He needs to explain the car purchase to his family. He doesn't know where he can go in the short term, so he'll have to see if he can find the owner to sell the car.

The old man was helping his family build a house. When he heard that Yu Dawei was busy again, he didn't ask any questions. He knew that his eldest son was busy these days. He just said a few words about the house and then chased Yu Dawei away.

Afterwards, Yu Dawei gave some instructions to his wife and mother.

During this time, Duan Xiaowu inevitably saw Yu Fang. When the two of them looked at each other, their expressions were extremely awkward. Sitting in the middle of the kang (a heated brick bed), A Gui and Er Yan were so embarrassed that they could have carved out a three-bedroom apartment.

Fortunately, Yu Dawei had other things to do in the afternoon, so he didn't stay in Laotun for long. Soon after, he left Laotun with Agui and Duan Xiaowu and headed straight for the county technical school.

The old technical school was located in the bustling downtown area of ​​the county. It was summer vacation, but the teachers would be on vacation several days later than the students. Yu Dawei briefly told the gatekeeper when he went there.

Not long after, a middle-aged man came out of the office building to greet him. When he saw Yu Dawei standing in the doorway, he had a look of guilt on his face.

Mostly because of what Tang Chenwu did back then.

Now, not only has Tang Chenwu, who stole the parts, been arrested, but his parents, who were accomplices, have also been sent to jail by Yu Dawei.

Later investigations revealed that the parents not only concealed their child's whereabouts but also helped dispose of some of the stolen parts. Yu Dawei felt no pity for this kind of family; if the whole family was like this, then all would be well.

"Teacher Lu, it's been a long time. You look great." Yu Dawei walked in from outside the gate and exchanged a few pleasantries.

"No, it's just too hot in the room, her face is flushed from the heat."

Teacher Lu waved her hand sheepishly, too ashamed to bring up the matter of Tang Chenwu: "Boss Yu came this time to..."

"There is something I would like to ask your school about..." Yu Dawei said as he walked beside the other person, explaining his current idea of ​​taking back the car.

Teacher Lu listened very attentively, and after getting a general understanding, one person immediately came to mind.

He slapped his thigh while standing in the school corridor: "Our grade's teacher in charge of teaching excavators, Mr. Zhang, must know that he helped arrange several construction vehicles in the school."

After excitedly finishing her speech, Teacher Lu's expression changed slightly. She raised her head and looked around before whispering a reminder to Dawei: "However, this Teacher Zhang has a cold personality and is not easy to get along with. The principal is also his brother-in-law. We can't say whether he can help you."

"It's alright, Teacher Lu, even if it doesn't work out, it's okay. Thank you for your help." Yu Dawei waved his hand. People with technical skills are never without pride, let alone the principal's brother-in-law.

As the two were talking, a tall, thin man in his thirties came from the opposite corridor, carrying a cardboard box. He ignored Yu Dawei and his companion and tried to walk straight past them.

"Teacher Zhang! Where are you going?" Teacher Lu's eyes lit up when she saw the person who came. It was truly a case of speaking of the devil and he appears.

He quickly stepped forward and stopped the other man, introducing him to Yu Dawei: "This is Mr. Yu, who runs a repair shop in Luhe Town. He happens to have something he wants to ask you. When is a convenient time for you?"

"What is it?" The tall and thin teacher Zhang frowned slightly before glancing at Yu Dawei. His voice was somewhat unapproachable when he spoke.

He hates having his plans disrupted midway through, and he dislikes being disturbed when he has nothing to do.

Yu Dawei also realized that this kind of person was the least sociable one in the class when they were in school. He lived in his own world and seemed to enjoy it.

I thought the principal's brother-in-law was arrogant and domineering, but it seems I watched too many TV dramas in my past life.

"Here's the thing, I want to buy excavators, but I can't find a channel right now." Yu Dawei has some experience dealing with this kind of person, after all, he was a class monitor when he was in high school.

As a class monitor, uniting classmates is naturally the most important thing. Otherwise, it's impossible for all the male students in the class to listen to him, or even lead the whole class of boys to fight with other classes.

Yu Dawei had a best friend in his high school class named Ai Yongqiang. He was the kind of person who didn't like to cause trouble or bother others.

One of the most annoying things in life is when trouble suddenly comes knocking.

Yu Dawei has long had experience dealing with this kind of person. Just remember not to waste their time with unnecessary talk, and to say things simply and directly.

If they can help you, they will; if they can't, we'll see.

When Teacher Zhang heard Yu Dawei mention the excavator, a hint of interest suddenly flashed in his eyes.

At this time of year, not just anyone can afford to buy an excavator; you need at least 100,000 yuan in savings, and even then, you're not an ordinary person in the county.

The principal is his brother-in-law. Even if such a wealthy person comes to the school, he can't cause trouble for the school.

After thinking for a moment, he nodded: "Come with me, I need to put something in the principal's office."

As he spoke, he stepped between the two men, carrying a cardboard box, and headed towards the end of the corridor.

Yu Dawei glanced at the cardboard box and found it was full of all sorts of messy certificates, all handwritten and unstamped.

"Mr. Yu, that's just his personality, please don't take it personally, let's go over there." Teacher Lu was worried that Yu Dawei wouldn't be able to adapt to this kind of person's temper, so she quickly explained.

Yu Dawei shook his head, then said to A Gui and Duan Xiaowu down the stairs, "You two wait for me by the car, I'll be there in a bit."

After giving a brief explanation, he followed Teacher Lu to the principal's office.

Although the technical school was a government-run institution, it could not afford to allocate much funding because it had a limited number of students. Even the principal's office was just a simple table and chair, a wooden bed for resting, and a thermos and cups.

As for the rest, there are probably only four walls.
