"Also, for example, some older units still boil water in the boiler room. Let's not talk about the subordinates, but if they run out of water, they'll just have to fill a thermos with water. And what about the leaders? They also have to fetch water themselves. How embarrassing! If the office had a water dispenser, people could just get a glass of water when they're thirsty. That would be both convenient and prestigious, right?"
Du Chen described it to Li Dewen and Xiami.
“That makes sense!”
Li Dewen understood Du Chen's thoughts.
"How much does that bucket of water cost? How much does the water dispenser cost?"
Xiami asked Du Chen.
"I haven't made up my mind yet. Go back to the village and ask the old man if he can approve the land. Once you've settled things here, go to Longcheng and ask about water purification equipment. We can then meet up and plan the overall plan! As for the water dispenser, we're not selling it! We're giving it away!"
Du Chen said firmly.
"A free water dispenser?! That thing isn't cheap, is it?"
Li Dewen still couldn't get rid of his petty nature, and he felt a little painful when he heard about the gift of a water dispenser.
"Don't worry, Brother Li, I definitely won't be able to compensate you!"
Du Chen also knew Li Dewen's character, so he didn't want to waste any more words and just said it simply.
"Brother Chen, when will we leave?"
Xiami asked Du Chen from the side. He was still very confident in Du Chen's idea.
“The sooner the better!”
"Okay, then I'll bring Xiami back to the village tomorrow and talk to my uncle first!"
Li Dewen was also very smart. Since he had already made the decision, he no longer hesitated and prepared to go back to the village tomorrow to have a good talk with his uncle.

It was already past eight o'clock in the evening when Du Chen returned to the eyewear store. Comrade Lao Du and Lao Ding and others were already in the store.
"Dad, Uncle Ding, you're back!"
Du Chen greeted everyone as soon as he entered the store.
"Second brother, come here for a moment, I have something to ask you!"
Comrade Lao Du called Du Chen over.
"Dad, what's wrong?"
Du Chen moved a small stool and sat opposite Comrade Lao Du.
"Second brother, how do you think we should modify the off-road vehicle?"
Comrade Lao Du's question made Du Chen raise his eyebrows.
"Dad, how do you want to modify it?"
Du Chen asked Comrade Lao Du with great interest.
"I don't know either. Didn't Liu Yuying and I buy a Patrol Y60 last time? We've been driving it for almost two years now, and he feels some aspects of it aren't ideal, so he asked me if I could modify it."
Comrade Lao Du told Du Chen the truth.
"So what is Liu Yuying not satisfied with? What would he like to change? And what is his budget?"
Du Chen is very interested now. First, he can make money, and second, he can gain fame, so Du Chen asked Comrade Lao Du in detail.
"Ah, I didn't ask that! I'm not sure either."
Comrade Lao Du said to Du Chen somewhat embarrassedly.
"Dad, why don't we wait until Sunday? I'll talk to Liu Yuying first and see what he wants to change and what his needs are. Then we can talk about other things."
Du Chen thought for a moment and said to Comrade Lao Du.
"Okay, then I'll tell Liu Yuying tomorrow!"
Comrade Lao Du nodded and said to Du Chen.
"Dad, do you know the guy who works on the lathe?"
"what?"
"I guess to modify Liu Yuying's vehicle, we need to design and make many parts ourselves. If there are no ready-made modification parts, then we have to find someone who knows how to use a lathe. I guess we have to make a lot of small parts!"
Du Chen said to Comrade Lao Du that now is not like later, many modification parts are ready-made, and now we can only find ways to measure and make them by ourselves.
"Don't we have a machinist at work? I think he can do it."
Comrade Lao Du said to Du Chen with some hesitation.
"It should be fine. If it doesn't work, I'll ask again."
Du Chen didn't know whether the lathe in the company could do it, so if it really couldn't be done, he could only ask someone else.
The next evening, just after Du Chen finished dinner, Comrade Lao Du took Liu Yuying into the eyewear store.
"Hello, Chenchen!"
Before Du Chen could say anything, Liu Yuying was already greeting him with a smile.
"Uncle Liu, please sit down!"
Du Chen hurriedly moved two chairs from the side and handed them to Comrade Lao Du and Liu Yuying.
"Chenchen, Brother Du said you have questions for me?"
Liu Yuying couldn't wait to ask Du Chen as soon as she sat down.
"Yes, Uncle Liu, is there anything you are not satisfied with the car now?"
Du Chen took a pen and paper from the counter and asked Liu Yuying.
"Let me think about it. First of all, I think the car's chassis is still a little low! It's a bit difficult to drive in many places!"
Du Chen listened to Liu Yuying's words while keeping his hands busy, recording Liu Yuying's questions.
"The second problem is that the storage space in the car is a bit small. Sometimes I can't put my things in when I go out to play! Oh, by the way, last time I went out to play, I got stuck in a mud pit, and the four-wheel drive didn't work. Is there any other solution?"
Liu Yuying chattered on and on about a bunch of issues, and Du Chen kept writing them down on paper.
"Chenchen, that's all."
"Okay, Uncle Liu, let me explain. Basically, you want to raise the chassis to improve off-road capabilities, right? Also, you want the car to have more storage space and a certain ability to get out of trouble, right?"
Du Chen summarized and asked Liu Yuying.
"That's right, Chenchen, these are the problems I have right now. How about it, can it be solved?"
"Sure! Uncle Liu, let me ask, do you usually go camping or do you specifically go off-roading?"
Du Chen asked Liu Yuying.
"It's mainly about going out and having fun. Sometimes I take my wife and kids camping, but we don't go off-roading."
Liu Yuying answered Du Chen's questions truthfully.
"Okay, Uncle Liu, let me first briefly tell you about the modification plan. We can improve the car's trafficability by modifying the shock absorber assembly or springs, which will raise the chassis. However, the spring height range will be smaller, but it's cheaper. If there's not enough space, we can modify the roof rack. How about this, let's go out and talk about it. There's a car outside anyway, and I'll tell you in detail!"
As he spoke, Du Chen stood up with a pen and paper. Liu Yuying and Comrade Lao Du followed Du Chen out.
"Uncle Liu, look, here on the roof, we can install a luggage rack with a top frame on it, so that we can put the tent and some miscellaneous items on the roof when we go out to play."
Du Chen pointed at the roof of the car and wrote and drew on the paper.
"Okay, that's a good idea, but Chenchen, isn't it inconvenient to put things on the roof?"
Liu Yuying raised a new question.
"Uncle, when the time comes, we'll install a small ladder here. First, step on the tire, and then climb the ladder to get onto the roof. Also, look at this place, I suggest you install a canopy! It will be more convenient then!"
