The two children didn't really understand what was going on, and Tang Xuezhen naturally wouldn't explain.
However, they will definitely keep Tang Xuezhen's words in mind.
After the children went back to their homework, Lin Chuan said, "Deputy Director Tang, are you referring to the car issue?"
Tang Xuezhen brewed him some tea and found some walnuts for him.
A short while later, Luo Yazhu brought out the washed apples.
Tang Xuezhen nodded. "To be honest, the car did have a problem."
As for the specifics of the problem, Tang Xuezhen did not tell Lin Chuan, and Lin Chuan himself did not want to know.
If a government vehicle suddenly malfunctions, it could be due to a lack of maintenance, or of course, sabotage cannot be ruled out.
However, these are all matters for Tang Xuezhen himself.
"Lin Chuan, have some tea. This tea is Maojian that a colleague brought back from his hometown. I think it's pretty good."
Lin Chuan took two sips and said, "Fresh, mellow, and with a slight aftertaste, it is indeed a good tea."
Tang Xuezhen felt that Lin Chuan should not be underestimated.
Logically speaking, Lin Chuan lived in the countryside, and he had inquired and found out that the furthest Lin Chuan had ever been was Wangshan County.
But he doesn't give off the feeling of a twenty-two-year-old at all.
He seemed like someone with a wealth of experience.
Fortunately, such a person should be someone you can become friends with.
“Lin Chuan, to be honest, I’m curious how you knew there would be a problem with the car, but I don’t want to ask,” Tang Xuezhen said. “You naturally have your own abilities. But you saved me, and you also saved Wei Liang, that’s true. In any case, Lin Chuan, you are our savior, and I will always remember this kindness.”
“I’m ten years older than you. If you don’t mind, you can consider me your older brother.”
Lin Chuan picked up the teacup. "Big Brother."
Tang Xuezhen also brought his teacup, and the two enamel teacups collided. "Brother Da Chuan."
As the saying goes, having more friends means having more paths to take. For Lin Chuan, having a brother like Tang Xuezhen will make his journey much easier.
Lin Chuan slept well that night.
The next morning, after having breakfast at the Tang family's house, Wang Bin came to pick up Lin Chuan before Tang Xuezhen even saw him off.
Tang Xuezhen laughed at him, "Dabin, you can't wait any longer?"
Wang Bin wasn't afraid of Tang Xuezhen laughing at him, "We really can't afford to drag this out any longer."
Lin Chuan entered the factory, and several old carpenters gathered around him.
He knew that Fang Xingde had summoned them to watch the spectacle, probably to see how this young man would embarrass himself.
Lin Chuan picked out the one that was most severely deformed and then began to compare them.
Then, he began to carefully draw on it with a pencil.
Once everything was drawn, he began to work.
Lin Chuan was, at heart, an old carpenter, and with the experience of his previous life, his hands became even more steady.
From morning to noon, more and more people surrounded Lin Chuan.
Wang Bin didn't leave; he just stayed there watching.
He saw it all and appreciated it deeply.
The 22-year-old young man's work was not affected at all by the large number of onlookers.
This mindset and this level of composure are truly beyond the reach of most people.
Lin Chuan is a man of action, and he didn't even have lunch. By 2 p.m., the entire cabinet set was finished, fitting together perfectly.
Moreover, Lin Chuan also carved patterns along the inconspicuous seam at this irregular joint.
The patterns are lifelike and fit perfectly with the cabinet.
This finished product, when placed there, looks more upscale than the original.
Lin Chuan examined the knife for a long time before putting it away.
"Director Wang, this setup is good. What do you think?"
Wang Bin clapped, and the carpenters around him also clapped.
The applause was an expression of appreciation for the young man, Lin Chuan.
"Lin Chuan, your skills are truly amazing! Excellent, truly wonderful!"
Lin Chuan was actually quite calm; he was confident in his abilities.
"Thank you for the compliment, Director Wang," Lin Chuan said. "If it's feasible, I can draw the rest after I've seen them. The experienced craftsmen in the factory should all have the skill to make them perfectly seamless."
Wang Bin looked at Fang Xingde, "Old Fang, how are you guys doing?"
Fang Xingde looked at the cabinet again and again, and couldn't help but exclaim, "It's truly amazing how the younger generation surpasses the older one."
"Factory manager, let's do as Lin Chuan says. He'll draw, and we'll carve. No problem."
Wang Bin was very happy; a major problem had been solved in an instant.
"Lin Chuan, let's go eat first. Food is essential for health; we can't just focus on work."
Fang Xingde walked over to Lin Chuan and patted him on the shoulder. "Lin Chuan, well done! I was blind before and didn't know about your skills. Now I see I was wrong, and I apologize. Thanks to you for your help this time, otherwise our factory would have suffered serious losses. You are our great hero."
"Master Fang, you flatter me." Lin Chuan seemed very modest.
Fang Xingde said, "Lin Chuan, you're about the same age as my son. If you don't mind, just call me Uncle. It would be an honor for me, Old Fang."
Lin Chuan called out quickly, and he smiled, "Uncle Fang."
"Okay!" Fang Xingde readily agreed, beaming with joy. "Lin Chuan, after we're done with this, let's go to my house for a couple of drinks."
"Okay, I promise I'll go."
Wang Bin had his secretary go out and buy some good food before noon, and it's still hot right now.
Lin Chuan was eating in the office, and Wang Bin just watched.
"Lin Chuan, there are thirty sets of modular cabinets in total. I have three experienced carpenters here who can help. With you, how many days do you think it will take to finish?"
Lin Chuan calculated for a moment, "Director Wang, I don't know how efficient your carpenters are at this kind of work. If they're about as efficient as me, they can finish in three days with some overtime. If they're slower, it'll take at most five days."
Wang Bin nodded. "Lin Chuan, we really owe you a lot for coming this time. To be honest, if we had missed the deadline, I would have had to pay them a lot of money. Since you came here, as Lao Tang said before, I'll reimburse your round-trip train ticket, provide you with food and lodging, and give you an extra 300 yuan for your work. How does that sound?"
