Start with a blacksmith shop.

Guo Shugui spoke quietly, while Li Zhenhua listened attentively.

Actually, for Li Zhenhua, the requirements for this photographer were not that high.

After all, this is just a job to film the knife-making process, not to make a movie. If the requirements are low, a mobile phone is perfectly sufficient.

"Hua Zi, let me tell you, I have seven Leica lenses of my own, and as for other lenses, I have even more."

I still have the oldest Seagull camera at home; it's an antique from the last century.

When Li Zhenhua saw Guo Shugui, he talked at length about his equipment.

"It seems this young master Guo really loves to play, he actually has so many devices."

Even the ancestor of modern cameras, Seagull, exists! What a tech enthusiast.

"It's only because he's wealthy; otherwise, just these machines would have emptied his pockets long ago."

Li Zhenhua then nodded in satisfaction at what Guo Shugui said.

"Guoba, actually, I don't need any professional photography for this."

As long as the whole process can be filmed clearly, that's fine.

After hearing what Li Zhenhua said, Guo Shugui understood that what he needed to do was quite simple.

"Alright, I'll make the decision myself. As for what equipment to use, I'll take care of that myself."

"I can't wait to see when we start work."

Guo Shugui has always maintained a great interest in blacksmithing.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have given up his job as a real estate manager to come and watch over Li Zhenhua so early in the morning.

When Li Zhenhua heard Guo Shugui ask about this, he immediately fell into thought, realizing that he really hadn't thought about it.

Because when he was making the sickle yesterday, his dexterity improved by one point.

His plan was to first improve his dexterity level to the micrometer level before crafting the knife for the preliminary rounds.

Li Zhenhua then said to Guo Shugui:

"Guoba, I'm not ready yet. There's still half a month until the deadline."

My idea is to improve my skills first, and then I can forge this knife.

Upon hearing Li Zhenhua's words, Guo Shugui responded excitedly.

"That's great, Hua Zi, I'm very interested in blacksmithing."

How about this, I'll be your assistant for the next while. As far as I know, one person isn't enough for blacksmithing."

Liu Xiaodong, who was listening to the two discussing, had no intention of targeting him at all.

"Hey, Brother Guo, you're not being fair. How could you steal my job?"

Swinging this sledgehammer is my job!

The two men, who were discussing the sword-forging competition, only then came to their senses.

There was actually someone else here; we'd completely forgotten about this big fat guy.

"Fatty, you have a lot of things to do at your company, how can you just stay here with me all day?"

When Guo Shugui couldn't see, Li Zhenhua quickly winked at the fat man.

Liu Xiaodong saw Li Zhenhua winking at him and immediately understood why Li Zhenhua said that.

In a place where only Li Zhenhua could see, she gave Li Zhenhua a barely perceptible nod.

"Oh dear, you don't know this, but Young Master Guo is the son of a nationally renowned real estate tycoon."

If I can just keep him in check, my company will get orders.

As long as there are orders, there's money. Isn't that more important than anything else?

In front of Guo Shugui, Liu Xiaodong revealed his purpose in approaching him.

They just said it openly and honestly.

Guo Shugui wasn't stupid, but he really didn't expect that the fat man opposite him would be so open and honest as to tell the truth.

That's the feeling I want, not being treated like someone who's being used.

Instead, he didn't hide anything, a feeling that was quite rare for Guo Shugui.

Most of the friends he had previously associated with were people whose financial resources were similar to his family's.

But there was always a barrier between them.

This feeling was something he had never experienced before.

"Hey Fatty, you really don't hide anything from me! You're really trying to curry favor with me, aren't you?"

Guo Shugui also thoroughly enjoyed the banter and laughter among friends.

But he didn't know that he had already been tricked by Li Zhenhua and the honest-looking fat man in front of him.

Then we heard Li Zhenhua say:

"Then let me familiarize myself with the work over the next few days. Once I'm ready, we'll get started."

Guo Shugui and Liu Xiaodong both nodded in agreement, agreeing that Li Zhenhua should indeed be the one in charge in this matter.

"You're the boss, I'll listen to you."

The two exchanged a glance and spoke in perfect unison.

"Then let's begin in a moment!"

As the three were talking, time slowly passed, and the sun rose in the sky.

As dawn broke, sunlight shone on the three young people.

Li Zhenhua began to lead the two men in getting busy in the courtyard.

For the three of them, what Li Zhenhua is doing now is his true calling.

But for the other two, it was just a hobby, a pastime in their spare time.

Guo Shugui is alright; he was assigned by the head office, so even if he doesn't come to work for a month, it won't have much of an impact.

But Liu Xiaodong is different; he is currently in charge of a commercial concrete company.

If he's not at the company for a day, things might come to a standstill, so the phone hasn't stopped ringing since dawn.

Once the furnace was lit, the blower blew a large amount of air into it, and the iron block turned red-hot under the flames.

Guo Shugui didn't participate; he just watched from the sidelines, familiarizing himself with the process.

Even if you asked him to get involved now, he would still do these things; his job is to study.

The iron was burning in the furnace, and Li Zhenhua waited nearby.

At this moment, although Li Zhenhua was looking at the burning iron, he was thinking about other things.

The "Skillful Hands" cheat code is currently only at proficiency level 2, with 998 points remaining to level up.

If we upgrade this, we'll need to manufacture 998 finished products. I'll have to think about what kind of product is small, easy to manufacture, and can be mass-produced without causing a backlog.

I went through them one by one in my mind, but I still couldn't think of anything that had such a property.

Guo Shugui didn't notice anything wrong at first, but when he looked into the furnace, the iron was already red-hot, so he asked Li Zhenhua.

But Li Zhenhua seemed not to hear it. Only then did I realize that Li Zhenhua was thinking about something.

"Hua Zi, Hua Zi?" Guo Shugui called twice before Li Zhenhua reacted.

Li Zhenhua then turned to look at Guo Shugui.

"What are you thinking about? You were so engrossed in your thoughts that you didn't even hear me calling you!"

Li Zhenhua couldn't come up with a good product, and just then Guo Shugui asked, so he immediately spoke up.

"That's how it is. If I want to practice, I will inevitably produce a lot of things, but what should I do with these things that I've made?"

"We can't just leave them like that, so I was thinking about what to make to avoid inventory buildup."

Guo Shugui burst into laughter upon hearing this.
