Chapter 13 Understanding

"Hey bro, is your car custom-made?"

Guo Shugui looked puzzled, somewhat confused as to why Li Zhenhua would ask such a question.

Since someone has asked, you should answer.

"Yes, my dad had it set up. I don't know if it was specially made."

"Hehe, that's right."

Li Zhenhua seemed to have seen through everything, which puzzled Guo Shugui.

"Brother Guo, I bet this car isn't very fast, maybe 28 km/h at most."

Li Zhenhua looked certain, while Guo Shugui was also a little unsure at this point, but he still stubbornly insisted on his position.

"Nonsense, my dad clearly said this car can go 30 km/h."

Li Zhenhua didn't say anything this time. He walked over to Guo Shugui and gently patted him on the shoulder.

Shaking his head, he walked inside.

"Come with me, I'll show you around my work environment."

Guo Shugui hurriedly followed and said anxiously from behind.

Why are you shaking your head? Explain things clearly.

My car was really going 30 km/h, my dad couldn't have lied to me.

Two people, one walking in front and the other following behind, headed towards the backyard.

Liu Xiaodong, who pushed the cart in, looked at the two who were already somewhat familiar with each other, while he was left behind.

A feeling of being abandoned welled up inside me.

"You two wait and see! How can you forget the old for the new? Heartless! The world is going to the dogs!"

Then Liu Xiaodong parked his motorcycle and chased after them inside.

In the backyard, Li Zhenhua led Guo Shugui on a tour.

"These are my current conditions, and I will participate in the sword forging competition here."

If you can't get used to it, you can go back now.

Li Zhenhua and others have seen everything and made the unpleasant points clear upfront.

"There's nothing I'm not used to; I'll get used to it."

Guo Shugui was still full of curiosity, curious about everything in the backyard.

Curiosity aside, given Guo Shugui's upbringing, he didn't immediately ask Li Zhenhua.

"We've looked at the surroundings, but you still haven't mentioned my motorcycle."

How can you be so sure that car couldn't have been going over 28 km/h?

Guo Shugui finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked the question that had been bothering him.

"Hehe, this is a unique secret technique."

If you don't believe me, we can find a place to test it.

That was all Li Zhenhua could say at this point; he couldn't very well say:

"I have an analytical eye; I can tell something from any industrial product!"

"I still don't believe it. I'll really have to get it tested when I have time. My dad would never lie to me."

He wouldn't lie to me for something as simple as a little monkey toy.

Guo Shugui still believes that his father is a good father, a father who would not lie.

Then Guo Shugui thought, since Li Zhenhua could tell at a glance that my motorcycle had been modified, he must know how to undo it.

Guo Shugui then asked Li Zhenhua.

"Brother, since you can tell there's something wrong with my car at a glance."

Then you must know where the problem lies.

Could you adjust it for me?

Li Zhenhua had already guessed why the car was like this from his earlier contact with Guo Shugui.

"Brother, why are you acting so awkward? We can't keep calling you that!"

From now on, just call me Hua Zi. It'll sound less formal and more intimate that way.

When Li Zhenhua and Guo Shugui were talking, Li Zhenhua always felt that this title was not easy to use, so Li Zhenhua then asked him to use his nickname.

"Okay, from now on you can call me Lao Guo. Go on, tell me!"

Guo Shugui told Li Zhenhua how he addressed himself.

But Li Zhenhua's expression clearly changed after hearing this.

Li Zhenhua looked on in disbelief. He didn't understand why anyone would call someone that. Did it have some special meaning?

"Alright, I'll continue! Old Guoba? Your car problem..."

After Li Zhenhua simply stated the name, Guo Shugui on the other end felt as if he had been misled.

"I meant you call me Lao Guo, not Lao Guoba!"

Guo Shugui quickly corrected Li Zhenhua's way of addressing him.

But after thinking about it, I realized that the nickname actually sounds pretty good, as long as it doesn't include "old".

Then he added, "Just call me Guoba (a type of rice crust) and let's continue talking about cars."

"Haha, Old Guoba, I like this name."

"From now on, I'm entrusting the reins to you, Old Guoba. What a great name!"

Liu Xiaodong, who followed him in, heard Li Zhenhua calling Guo Shugui by his nickname and immediately began to laugh.

"You fatso, if you keep yelling, don't even think about letting your dust into my construction site from now on."

Guo Shugui saw Liu Xiaodong jumping around happily to the side and immediately retorted to him.

"Sigh, the service provider has no human rights whatsoever!"

Guo Shugui ignored Liu Xiaodong's wailing and continued to look for an answer from Li Zhenhua.

"You haven't made any major modifications to your car, except for the accelerator."

There's a small device in the middle of the throttle cable that limits the throttle input.

Furthermore, the throttle cable has been shortened.

To restore speed, simply replace the throttle cable and adjust it again.

Guo Shugui looked on incredulously.

"Really? It's that simple?"

My dad even called me when he brought this little monkey to me.

He said that the bike cannot be moved casually; once it's been moved, it can no longer be ridden.

Guo Shugui's voice grew softer and softer until it was barely audible, like the buzzing of a mosquito.

Li Zhenhua didn't say anything more, looking at Guo Shugui across from him with some sympathy.

"Is choosing this person really a good idea? They seem a bit dim-witted!"

Li Zhenhua thought to himself silently, but he couldn't show it on his face.

"Brother, thank you." Guo Shugui thanked Li Zhenhua.

There was something else he didn't say.

"Thank you for letting me know that even biological fathers can lie to their sons."

"Help me fix this car back! How about it, brother?" Guo Shugui said to Li Zhenhua.

"That's not a good idea. Are you sure I'll really change? It's uncertain whether you'll even be able to ride a bike anymore!"

Li Zhenhua originally intended to move past this topic, but Guo Shugui continued to harp on it.

Li Zhenhua had no choice but to confront Guo Shugui with reality.

"Forget it, I won't change it," Guo Shugui replied somewhat annoyed.

"Let's move on from that topic and talk about our project now."

This time I'm going to participate in the Kyushu region preliminary round of the Dan-ta (sword fighting) competition, and the organizing committee is telling me to film the entire sword-fighting process.

So we need a cameraman. I don't know how good your skills are.

After getting to know each other beforehand and discussing other things,

Li Zhenhua and Guo Shugui became more familiar with each other, and their understanding of each other as partners laid the foundation for future cooperation.

When Guo Shugui heard Li Zhenhua asking about his skills, he immediately shared his knowledge of videography with Li Zhenhua.
