Chapter 8 Do It Yourself

  PS: "Add One More"

  It is often said that a wolf travels thousands of miles to eat meat, while a dog travels thousands of miles to eat feces. Someone like Lu Xiaodao, a lecherous person, no matter where he goes, has beautiful women in his mind and thinks about how to seduce them.

  This guy!

  If this thought could be applied to other areas, it would definitely stand out!

  Put away that nonsense, Zhang Yi looked at Lu Xiaotao and asked: "Do you know where there is a steel processing plant? I need to order something."

  Lu Xiaodao asked in confusion: "What are you ordering?"

  "Thin needles, but a bit thicker than those used for sewing clothes, and slightly longer."

  "What do you want to do with that thing?"

  Lu Xiaotao asked curiously.

  Zhang Yi said in a low voice: "Don't ask about this anymore, just tell me where I can order this fine needle and what's the address?"

  Lu Xiaodao smiled and said, "I don't know where to order the fine needles you mentioned, but if you need them, it's easy. Many large hardware stores have all kinds of long and short, thick and thin needles. The finer ones are called needles, the coarser ones are called nails, in short, you can buy one that suits your needs."

  Hardware store?

  Zhang Yi's face stiffened for a moment, and then a bitter smile appeared on his face.

  That's right!

  I am indeed clever for a lifetime but muddled for a moment!

  If you find what you like in a hardware store, you can order it from the boss and let him help you get a large amount of fine needles, so you don't have to go to great lengths.

  Having thought this through, Zhang Yi's mood improved a lot, and he smiled and said: "How about we go to the repair shop now?"

  "Okay! I'm going to change clothes."

  Lu Xiaodao was naturally more than happy. Being with Zhang Yi, he felt especially stimulated. Every time, Zhang Yi could bring him unexpected surprises.

  Shun Hong Repair and Maintenance Department.

  Located in a remote area of Lougu District, this street is almost entirely lined with auto repair shops. Shunhong Repair Shop is the largest one on this street.

  In the repair garage behind the store, two young men stood facing a Lamborghini sports car with their hands tied behind their backs. The owner of the car had left it here and hurried away, only telling them where to adjust it.

  "Brother Li, what to do? The master is not here, and the two of us are not skilled enough to meet each other's requirements. If they come to pick up the car this afternoon and we haven't finished it yet, we'll be in trouble." Shao Jie said with a bitter smile, looking at Li Da Fa beside him.

  Li Dafa said helplessly, "What to do? This Lamborghini supercar, even if it's just the car itself, would cost over 4 million. The two of us can't afford it. If we really try to force it, things will only get worse. Let's go find Boss Lady! Since Master isn't here, probably only Boss Lady can handle this."

  "Boss's wife is entertaining guests! Just now I saw someone driving a Ferrari supercar to our store, absolutely a big client."

  "What to do? The master's phone can't be reached. Other masters are busy with their work and are not in the store at all, we two can't just wait stupidly here?"

  Li Dafa's heart was filled with frustration as he gazed at the Lamborghini supercar in front of him.

  Just as the two were at a loss, a beautiful woman with a slender waist walked towards them. Before she even arrived, her voice reached their ears:

  "You two little rascals, taking my salary. Don't you think I should be working for it? Believe me or not, I'll give each of you two lashes and teach you the principle that a gentleman doesn't eat food that comes easily."

  Behind her, fatty Lu Xiaotao had a sly smile on his face, following closely behind her. His small eyes gleamed with mischief, occasionally scanning over the beautiful woman's twisting waist and raised buttocks.

  Sha Jie and Li Da Fa looked at the approaching boss, Xing Li Qian, and suddenly seemed to have seen a savior. They quickly walked up to her, and Sha Jie said with a bitter smile: "Boss, it's not that we don't want to work! It's just that Lamborghini supercar needs to be adjusted for power output and gear shifting micro-vibration phenomenon. Our two levels, boss, you are most clear about. If we take action, I'm afraid the effect will be even worse."

  Xing Liqian furrowed her eyebrows and asked: "Where is your master?"

  The two of them looked at each other and immediately shook their heads one after another.

  Lu Xiaodao's gaze fell on the Lamborghini supercar, his eyes flashing with a hint of surprise and admiration. "Wow, I didn't expect that your shop would have such good business, with so many big clients coming here for maintenance? This Lamborghini supercar, if it has all the necessary documents, is worth at least over 50 million, not much less than my Ferrari 599!"

  "Hmm..."

  A red Ferrari sports car drove past the front of the store, turned left from the side alley and into the repair garage. After getting out of the car, Zhang Yi's eyes were immediately attracted to a Lamborghini, he walked around it twice before smiling and saying: "What a great car! It can't be driven on ordinary roads, this kind of car is perfect for racing competitions. I've really opened my eyes recently! Since coming to Jingnan City, I've been able to see so many good cars."

  Xing Liqian smiled and said, "The technical skills of the masters in our store are the best among all the car repair masters in the entire Lougu District. This is also why so many good cars come to us for repairs and maintenance. You can rest assured if you leave your car with us!"

  "That's it, I don't believe anyone else, but beautiful boss lady, I still believe you." Lu Xiaotao said with a flushed face, looking at the flower-like face of boss lady Xing Liqian.

  Zhang Yi shook his head and said: "We will pay for the repair fee, but as for adjusting this car, I'll do it myself."

  "What?"

  Lu Xiaodao's smile on his face solidified, those small eyes stared roundly, and an unbelievable expression floated in his eyes.

  Did you hear it wrong?

  Brother Yi... Brother Yi said he wants to take matters into his own hands?

  What kind of international joke is this?

  This is repairing cars, not driving them!

  Two store repairmen also had a strange look on their faces, they sized up Zhang Yi for a few moments, and disdain flashed in their eyes.

  He's probably just around twenty years old?

  Will he repair the car?

  Even if he knows a little bit of three-legged cat kung fu, does he dare to repair that Ferrari 599 supercar with his own hands? Isn't he worried about making it worse the more he repairs it?

  On the contrary, boss's wife Xing Liqian had a few hints of astonishment and a few unusual colors in her eyes.

  "Brother Yi, you're not joking, are you? This car repair is no trivial matter. If something goes wrong somewhere, it could lead to an accident!" Lu Xiaotao swallowed his saliva and said cautiously.

  Zhang Yi ignored the reactions of the four people and calmly said: "I'm not joking, I've already tried this car, where there's a problem, I know best."

  Xing Liqian smiled and asked: "Little brother can fix cars?"

  Zhang Yi said: "I used to practice for a few years."

  As his words fell, Lu Xiaotao exclaimed: "How is that possible? Brother Yi, how could you have ever repaired cars..."

  Zhang Yi waved his hand to interrupt Lu Xiaotao's words and said calmly, "I understand what you mean, but professions are not divided into high and low. Being a car repairman is also a good profession for making a living. Boss, I need to use the machines and tools in your store, should be no problem, right?"

  Xing Liqian's eyes showed an even thicker unusual color, and she nodded with a smile: "Of course there's no problem, since you're willing to do it yourself, we'd rather be idle. However, I have a small request."

  "What's required?"

  Zhang Yi asked.

  Xing Liqian smiled and said: "When you're repairing the car, I'd like to broaden my horizons and help you out at the same time."

  "Good!" said Zhang Yi.

  Soon, the Ferrari was secured in place, and Zhang Yi brought out all the tools that were needed, placing them to one side.

  Lu Xiaodao looked at Zhang Yi, who was busy, and said cautiously: "Yi Ge, be careful, if it's not possible, let the master in their store fix it, we still have to participate in the underground racing championship cup!"

  Zhang Yi ignored Lu Xiaotao, but Xing Liqian showed a hint of surprise and asked Lu Xiaotao: "You're going to participate in the underground racing championship? Who's the driver?"

  Lu Xiaodao pointed at Zhang Yi and said: "Of course it's him."

  Xing Liqian asked in doubt: "His driving skills are very good?"

  Lu Xiaotao's face showed a look of admiration, and he gave a thumbs up, saying: "It's not just good, he drives like he has no regard for his life. The top speed of the Ferrari here is 300, but on the Six Pan Mountain racing track, he accelerated to 320 at one point. If it weren't for the fact that the speed really couldn't be increased any further, I'm afraid it would have been even faster."

  Thinking of Zhang Yi's crazy eyes when he was speeding, his face turned slightly pale, and he suppressed the turbulent emotions, pretending to be calm, saying: "If it wasn't for me, Lu Xiaotao, having enough guts and believing in Brother Yi's skills, I'm afraid others would have gotten on the car and been scared to pee their pants."

  Xing Liqian turned her head to look at Zhang Yi, and her beautiful eyes sparkled with interest in him.

  Liupanshan Circuit, she was very clear what kind of circuit it was, except for a few longer curved roads, many other places were winding mountain roads, and some places were even close to cliffs, even if there were guardrails, if the car was driven too fast, it would easily crash down the cliff.

  If you don't have real skills but pretend to be capable and rush forward, you'll probably end up with only one road - losing your life.

  "Are you Zhang Yi? What's wrong with this car?" Xing Liqian squatted beside Zhang Yi, accompanied by a faint jasmine fragrance, and asked.

  "Shaft bearings need a bit of fine-tuning to maximize the speed, and there are also some minor issues with the clutch, which can be easily handled."

  Xing Liqian nodded silently, her eyes fixed on Zhang Yi's movements, secretly admiring him. If she had still been a little skeptical about Zhang Yi being a former car mechanic earlier, now she believed it, because such skilled techniques could not be achieved without years of experience and repairing countless cars.

  Even those two companions by his side were far inferior to this young man.

  As for Zhang Yi's adjusted effect, Xing Liqian had a few expectations in her heart.
