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

Chapter 476 Let Professional Equipment Speak
Inside the Mercedes, Zeng Guangzhi enjoyed the warmth of the car's idling heater while smoking and watching the two people negotiating with Ding Nian in front of him.

Actually, he had wanted to fire those two a long time ago.

The main problem is that it's not cost-effective.

The reason he created the position of technical consultant was mainly to handle various vehicle problems.

But to be honest, dealing with difficult problems is very difficult, and the repair costs are not ideal. Most importantly, many professional mechanics can solve more than 90% of vehicle problems.

The role of this technical advisor is like a double-edged sword.

The key is that if it can prove its worth this time, like in today's situation, if Mr. Xu and his companion can immediately identify the problem and quickly fix the car.

He might overcome his previous hesitation and allow the technical consultants to continue working.

But now it seems there's no need for it to exist; when it comes to car repair, nobody's that much better than anyone else.

Just then, two cars suddenly appeared in the distance and drove towards them.

He knew that it must be the leaders of the Eighth Bureau who had arrived.

Zeng Guangzhi quickly got out of the car, threw away his cigarette butt, and gave Ding Nian a wink.

When Ding Nian saw his older brother get out of the car, and then glanced at the two cars approaching from a distance, he felt a little nervous.

Knowing he would likely be the one to take the blame, he took Old Xu and Han Gang aside, gave them a few brief instructions, and then ignored them.

Ultimately, the choice between the two of them is their own business.

On the other side, inside the black Sagitar, Yu Dawei looked at Lao Ji, whose expression was calm, in the rearview mirror and felt much more at ease: "In a little while, try to say as little as possible and follow my lead."

"clear."

The two vehicles stopped at the front steel wheel of the road roller. As soon as Chang Bin got out of the vehicle, Zeng Guangzhi and Ding Nian walked over quickly.

"Sir, I'm so sorry to have troubled you to come all the way from the oil city." Zeng Guangzhi spoke first, his tone neither humble nor arrogant. As he spoke, he glanced at Yu Dawei and Lao Ji, who had gotten out of the car with him.

He looked bewildered, unsure of which leaders of the Eighth Bureau these two were.

"What's the point of talking about the ozone layer?" Chang Bin stared intently at Zeng Guangzhi and Ding Nian. "Didn't they say on the phone that it would definitely be fixed yesterday? What's happened now?"

Chang Bin pointed at the road roller next to him and said coldly, "There are nearly 20 people in this section, all waiting for you to start work, but three days have passed and there is no movement at all. Can't you even find out where the problem is?"

Chang Bin looked at Zeng Guangzhi.

Zeng Guangzhi looked embarrassed, and the hand that had been about to offer him a cigarette quietly withdrew.

He thought for a moment and smiled sheepishly again: "Manager Chang, this is my fault. Our company has two very capable technical consultants, but I never expected that they couldn't even see the slightest problem with this Volvo road roller."

Zeng Guangzhi pointed to the two people who were about to leave and said, "I've already fired them. Next, I plan to bring a road roller from our factory first. Let's not delay the work, okay?"

"Afterwards, I'll find a skilled mechanic to properly repair our road roller, inside and out."

"Send a car over?" Chang Bin raised an eyebrow, then his gaze turned even colder. "Do you know how long it takes to drive from Hecheng to here? Besides, how can you guarantee that your car won't break down when it arrives? If it does break down, it'll take several days to repair. Can you tell me all of this clearly?"

Zeng Guangzhi remained silent as he listened to the reprimand from the Eighth Bureau leaders, but the more he listened, the more something seemed amiss.

He had met Chang Bin a few times before. Although he wasn't very familiar with Chang Bin, the other man certainly respected him to some extent.

Besides, I've always given gifts during holidays, so this person is being incredibly disrespectful.

“Manager Chang, right now, I really don’t have any good ideas except to bring in a car from somewhere else.” Zeng Guangzhi suppressed his displeasure and shook his head with a sigh. “This is also the fault of my subordinate Ding Nian. He is usually in charge of the Eighth Bureau’s affairs, but he really didn’t handle this matter well today.”

"Yes! Manager Chang, I'm so sorry." Ding Nian knew that his older brother was planning to make him take the blame. He quickly walked up to Chang Bin, bowing his head with a face full of apology. "I was too negligent and forgot to regularly inspect the road rollers here."

Seeing that his subordinate had also apologized, Zeng Guangzhi quickly followed suit, saying, "Well then, Manager Chang, I'll accept whatever punishment you want. After all, Ding Nian is one of my men."

Yu Dawei, standing next to the Sagitar, watched the show with his arms crossed, and his brows furrowed slightly, especially when he saw the two of them performing a charade.

This person's shady tactics involved first dragging out his subordinates and beating them up to share the responsibility, then taking the blame upon himself to demonstrate benevolence and righteousness.

If my third uncle were here, he would definitely laugh at the other party for playing such a low-level trick.

Yu Dawei noticed that Lao Chang frowned slightly, indicating that he also didn't quite like the other party's behavior.

But since they had effectively blocked all the intersections, Chang Bin couldn't be too harsh on them. Fortunately, he had come fully prepared this time.

"What's the use of hitting or punishing you?" Old Chang changed his previous stern tone and sighed. "Look at the mess you left for the Eighth Bureau. Knowing you can't clean it up, I specially invited two skilled repairmen over."

"Right now, getting the workers back to work is the key, Mr. Zeng. As for your cooperation with the Eighth Bureau and the losses caused this time, let's discuss that later."

After Chang Bin finished speaking, Zeng Guangzhi, who was standing opposite him, changed his expression slightly, and his heart sank to the bottom.

Call a repairman? Isn't that a blatant slap in the face?

Standing next to Zeng Guangzhi, Ding Nian saw his older brother's complicated expression and quickly stepped forward to smooth things over. He looked at Manager Chang with a smile and said, "The leader is very thoughtful. I believe that with these two masters you have invited, our section will definitely be able to resume work quickly."

When Zeng Guangzhi heard Ding Nian say this, his expression finally softened a bit. If that were the case, and even the people Chang Bin had brought couldn't fix it, then it wouldn't be the fault of their Guangzhi Equipment Repair Company.

It can even subtly embarrass the leader.

Then, at the dinner table that evening, he can apologize again, bring some local specialties, and symbolically pay the fine. The other party will probably agree to send their own road roller over.

Thinking of this, Zeng Guangzhi secretly gave Ding Nian an approving look.

He truly is my capable assistant.

"Hmm." Chang Bin nodded indifferently, but couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

He then turned to look at Yu Dawei and the other man standing next to Sagitar: "In that case, I'll trouble you two to go and take a look."

"Okay, Mr. Chang." Yu Dawei replied and turned to take out two boxes of tools from the trunk.

One box was full of various repair tools, while the other small box contained a professional pressure gauge.

This thing was brought out by Yu Dawei when he left Fanfan's repair shop, and nowadays this kind of hydraulic pressure gauge is not common at all on the market.

The one Yu Dawei has in his hand was bought by chance when he was browsing an auto parts market in Shenzhen.

The gauge box is square. Inside, there are four pressure gauges with different pressure ranges. On top of them are thin black hydraulic hoses, and below are nine plug joints.

Not far away, Han Gang and Xu Lao, who were about to leave, stopped in their tracks. When they saw Yu Dawei take out the pressure gauge, they became curious.

Most importantly, these two men were clearly invited by the head of the Eighth Bureau, and their technical skills might even be better than theirs. So even though they were about to leave, they wanted to check what was wrong with the road roller before they left.

As he watched, Old Xu took a few steps closer, and even stood next to the group, his eyes fixed on Yu Dawei's movements as he held the pressure gauge.

He had never seen this kind of instrument before, so he was extremely curious about what it could measure.

Zeng Guangzhi and Ding Nian also saw that Yu Dawei and Lao Ji had taken out professional equipment, and they couldn't help but feel a chill. Judging from their posture, these two seemed to have some skills.

"Mr. Chang, may I ask who these two are...?" Zeng Guangzhi couldn't help but look at the composed Chang Bin, and took out the Zhonghua cigarettes from his pocket and handed them to him.

"You mean those two?" Chang Bin casually took a cigarette and pointed at Yu Dawei and Lao Ji. "The younger one is called Ji Youwei, and the older one is called Ji Youde. They are repairmen who just returned to their hometown from Beijing."

“Oh! Kyoto, that’s a big city, their technology must be amazing.” Zeng Guangzhi was even more flustered. He hadn’t expected that President Chang would actually find two experts. However, he still smiled and gave a thumbs up. “With these two brothers helping, we should be able to figure something out.”

"They're uncle and nephew." Old Chang's face darkened, but he was secretly about to burst out laughing.

On the way, he made a bet with Dawei to see if Zeng Guangzhi would make a mistake, and now it seems that he and Lao Ji guessed correctly.

Upon hearing this, Yu Dawei, who was fiddling with the pressure gauge behind the car, frowned. Old Ji, who was about to smile, suddenly remembered his and his boss's predicament and quickly composed himself.

"May I ask where these uncle and nephew are from?" Zeng Guangzhi looked embarrassed for a second, but he quickly skipped the previous topic and continued chatting with President Chang.

"These two..." Chang Bin was about to speak when he heard Yu Dawei, who was opposite the road roller, speak.

"Second Uncle, there seems to be a problem with this."

As soon as Yu Dawei said this, everyone who was waiting fell silent.

Their minds were filled with shock and questions. Were these two really that amazing?
"Don't worry, test it carefully. Climb up and test it again later. It might not be a problem with this hydraulic pipe." Old Ji's calm voice came from the other side of the road roller.

Standing next to Chang Bin and the others, Old Xu's excitement was instantly dampened.

I thought I had found a kindred spirit and was just about to clear my name when it turned out that the person hadn't finished testing yet.
