Chapter 537: Fair Competition to Add to the Family Assets
After muddling through the matter, it was time to get off work, and Bai Xiuwen went home on time, which was rare.
"elder brother!"
Bai Chi was very happy to see Bai Xiuwen coming back.
"Have you been obedient today?" Bai Xiuwen picked up his sister.
"Yes, I'm very good!" Bai Chi nodded with his chubby face.
She can still play to her heart's content now, but when she goes to school she won't have so much time, so let her play like this.
Bai Xiuwen played with his sister for a while, and Xu Sinan also came back from get off work.
"Sister Xu!" Bai Chi immediately left his brother behind as soon as he saw her.
"Xiao Xiaobai." Xu Sinan also picked her up.
"Kiss." Bai Chi's face was close to hers.
"Hmm~"
"Hahaha~" Bai Chi smiled charmingly and was very happy.
This made Bai Xiuwen feel even more miserable. What happened at the scrap yard made him feel like he was betraying Xu Sinan.
This feeling of betrayal is quite uncomfortable. Although it didn't work out and the two of them are not together, it is indeed not good.
At that moment, Bai Xiuwen didn't dare to look at it and went home to cook.
the next day.
"Granddaughter, let's go. Grandpa will take you to see someone today."
"Meet someone, who?" Grandpa Qian's granddaughter asked in confusion.
"Don't worry about who it is. Just go and see how they do." Uncle Qian was unwilling to reveal too much.
Seeing that grandpa was unwilling to say more, the granddaughter preconceived that he was not a good person, "Grandpa, don't you go to work?"
"Come on, don't worry about it, just follow me."
Hearing this, the granddaughter didn't want to go even more.
"Hurry up and come to grandpa. Grandpa won't harm you. This is a good thing." Father Qian's words were still useful.
The granddaughter couldn't refuse anymore, so she followed Grandpa Qian away.
The two went straight to the scrap yard.
When the granddaughter saw the scrap yard, she frowned and covered her mouth and nose with her hands.
"Grandpa, why did you bring me to the scrapyard?"
"The man is at the scrap yard. You'll see him in a moment."
"Ah! Grandpa, who do you want me to see?"
Having already arrived at the scrap yard, Uncle Qian was not worried about his granddaughter leaving, so he explained: "Your future husband, let's see if he is right for you."
"If you like her, get engaged to her. Don't underestimate her. Even though she is in a scrap yard, she is very capable."
The granddaughter pulled the corners of her mouth into a sneer. She said, "You're already at the scrap yard. What other abilities can you have? This is just a joke."
The granddaughter has always been resistant to the scrap yard, even though her family was initially supported by her grandfather's work at the scrap yard.
She would not say openly that the scrap yard was bad, but she was always resistant to it in her heart. She thought that only those powerful people who could come here could be considered as such.
They are all dirty and smelly. How can such a man be worthy of her and how could she possibly get engaged to him.
Grandpa is old now, he wouldn’t have been cheated.
The granddaughter's eyes narrowed with doubt: "I want to see who dares to lie to my grandfather, and see how I can expose you!"
Behind the two of them, Old Wu also came to the scrap yard and saw the girl following Uncle Qian.
"What is this old man doing? Why did he bring his granddaughter here during the holidays?"
As Old Wu was thinking, he suddenly had an idea. "Damn it, could that bastard Old Qiantou be trying to steal our business?"
"Fuck, this bastard is really fucking dishonest."
Thinking of this, Old Wu immediately shouted at Uncle Qian: "Old Qian, why are you taking your granddaughter with you?"
Old Wu's loud shout scared Uncle Qian so much that he shuddered. He turned around and saw Old Wu, and shuddered again.
"Nothing."
Old Wu walked quickly up to the two of them.
"Nothing? Pah, you are such a dishonest person, old Qiantou. Yesterday I brought my daughter here, and today you brought your granddaughter here. Are you trying to steal my favor?"
After his thoughts were revealed, Grandpa Qian looked at his granddaughter beside him. With her here, he naturally didn't want to lose face in front of her.
Uncle Qian puffed out his chest and retorted: "Hey, Xiao Wu, what do you mean by that? How am I unkind? How did I do anything unkind?"
"Hey, you're pretending. Why did you bring your granddaughter here? Aren't you trying to steal Xiaobai's favor? Why did you think I brought my daughter here yesterday? Do you want to steal her away?"
Uncle Qian said, "Hey, look at what you are saying. What are you talking about? Didn't you say yesterday that we should rob it based on our ability? Aren't I just doing what you said?"
"Besides, did Xiaobai agree to be with your daughter? I guess he didn't agree."
Having said this, Old Wu raised his head proudly.
"Hey, don't disbelieve me. Xiaobai already agreed yesterday. If you don't believe me, go ask him yourself."
Just at this time, Bai Xiuwen came to work late.
Uncle Qian caught a glimpse of him out of the corner of his eye and immediately waved to him to come over.
Bai Xiuwen looked at the two people and the girl, and felt even more overwhelmed.
"Xiao Bai, tell Uncle Qian, did you agree to be with my daughter yesterday? Tell him loudly!"
After saying this, Old Wu put his hands on his waist, looking very proud.
But this made it difficult for Bai Xiuwen. He had agreed to be with Lili, and Uncle Qian had helped him a lot, so he couldn't refuse.
His hesitation made Old Wu feel that he was embarrassed as it was only the first day and he hadn't even had a date yet.
As a young person, it's normal to feel embarrassed when this matter is talked about.
"Xiaobai, just nod your head."
Bai Xiuwen nodded and said nothing.
"Look, old Qian, Xiao Bai is about to get together with my daughter, what are you doing here?"
Seeing that he really agreed, Old Qian sighed inwardly that he was late. But he couldn't admit his mistake to Old Wu, as face was still very important.
"It's too early to say that. It's just a matter of time. Xiaobai is not married to your daughter. As long as they are not married, there is still a chance."
"Unless you're engaged, what's the point of saying so much? It's not like there haven't been times where they weren't a good match."
"You! Shame on you!" Old Wu had never seen Old Qiantou so shameless.
This instead made Old Qiantou proud and he found an opportunity to take advantage of.
"What? You're going to hit me?"
When the two were arguing, they didn't pay any attention to their granddaughter standing beside them.
When the granddaughter looked at Bai Xiuwen's appearance, she felt the same as Lili did, both thought Bai Xiuwen was quite handsome.
But that was all, she had no feelings for Bai Xiuwen at all.
In her opinion, the hesitant look just now was just timidity. What kind of man is he if he is timid? Who would like such a man?
Besides, I work at a scrapyard and I stink.
The granddaughter was not interested in Bai Xiuwen at all and had a hundred reasons to refuse.
Bai Xiuwen looked at Old Qiantou's granddaughter and felt nothing at all. He just wanted to escape from this place of trouble.
The quarrel between the two only increased his guilt towards Xu Sinan.
The quarrel between the two attracted many people who came to work.
When the stationmaster Wang Chengcai saw Bai Xiuwen, he called out, "Xiaobai, come to my office."
"Okay." Bai Xiuwen responded quickly, said hello to Old Wu and Uncle Qian, and immediately followed Wang Chengcai.
"Qi, who would like such a person?" The granddaughter rolled her eyes at Bai Xiuwen as he ran away in panic. Without Bai Xiuwen, Old Wu and Uncle Qian had nothing to argue about.
"Hmph!" Both sides snorted coldly and left.
"Granddaughter." Before Grandpa Qian could finish his words, his granddaughter interrupted him: "Grandpa, that person just now is the person you wanted me to meet, right?"
"No need to look at him. I don't like people like him. What kind of man is it to be so timid?"
"granddaughter."
"Okay, Grandpa, you're already at work so I won't bother you anymore. I'll go back first."
After saying that, he left without waiting for Uncle Qian to call him.
"Alas, this matter has caused so much trouble. I didn't like such a good person. I will regret it in the future." Uncle Qian shook his head and sighed helplessly.
It was indeed the wrong time to bring my granddaughter today. I was too anxious. If I had brought her later, maybe we would be able to see each other properly.
But now that things have come to this, there is no point in saying anything. Just leave it to fate.
Webmaster's office.
"sit."
Wang Chengcai first asked about Bai Xiuwen's recent situation, and Bai Xiuwen picked out the good things to talk about.
After some concern, Wang Chengcai got straight to the point and took out two watches from his briefcase.
"Take a look at these two watches, can they be repaired?"
Bai Xiuwen took it and looked at it carefully.
Compared to a large pendulum clock, this watch is more delicate and more difficult to repair, but it is worth a try.
With the experience of making two pendulum clocks, and having repaired a lot of things recently, Bai Xiuwen's skills have improved a lot compared to the beginning.
"I'll give it a try and try to fix it."
Wang Chengcai nodded and said, "Okay, thank you for your help. I'll try my best to fix it. If it can't be fixed, it's okay. Don't feel stressed."
Although he said this, Wang Chengcai still hoped in his heart that Bai Xiuwen could fix it.
The leader's words put Bai Xiuwen under even greater pressure, and he was determined to fix it no matter what.
These two watches were broken ones that Wang Chengcai got from the station. He took them to a watchmaker to repair them, which cost him thirty or forty yuan each.
Both watches are enough to buy new ones. How could Wang Chengcai be willing to do this? He feels sorry for the money.
Besides, there is someone in the station who can fix it. Let him try. If it fixes it, he doesn’t have to pay. If it can’t be fixed, why not just buy a new one?
"Okay, go and do your work."
Bai Xiuwen's importance is no longer comparable to before, but his job is quite free now.
The main task is not to collect waste, but to repair things for him. As for the monthly task share, just ask other people to transfer it over.
Now Bai Xiuwen doesn’t have to go out to collect waste.
"I'm going to get busy." Bai Xiuwen took three watches and went straight to the back of the scrap yard, which was his own maintenance room.
The room is about ten square meters in size, about the same size as Li Kailang's, and is filled with various tools.
Thanks to the characteristics of the scrap yard, he has enough tools, covering various professions. Bai Xiuwen's tools are second only to Li Kailang.
Bai Xiuwen carefully checked the damage to the watch. "It's not bad. There aren't many broken parts. But there are a lot of parts that need to be replaced. This is a bit troublesome."
Almost anything can be found in the scrap yard, and Bai Xiuwen directly picked out the parts he needed from a pile of spare parts.
These parts were disassembled by Bai Xiuwen from some waste products for use in repairs.
With the spare parts, Bai Xiuwen calmed down and started the repairs.
I don’t know how much time had passed, but the watch was just one point away.
Even if it is repaired, if only the last few parts are replaced, the trouble will arise.
Many parts can be found, but some exclusive parts cannot be found. You can either buy them from the original manufacturer or from a watchmaker.
"It seems that we have to make it now." Bai Xiuwen looked at the pile of tools in the room. It was not easy to make a special part now.
Bai Xiuwen picked up a component and began to work on it.
Finally, before leaving get off work, I managed to make the dedicated parts and replace them.
Tata~
Looking at the watch turning, Bai Xiuwen smiled knowingly, "Finally it's fixed. This day was not wasted."
Immediately, Bai Xiuwen took the watch to find Wang Chengcai and returned it to him directly.
"Good, good, good! Xiaobai, I didn't think highly of you, but you did a great job!" Wang Chengcai looked at the two watches with joy.
"With this form, I can get a better promotion. Just giving gifts won't do. I have to make some real achievements."
Bai Xiuwen turned a broken watch into something useful, which also shows his ability, at least his ability to judge people well.
Wang Chengcai put one watch into his pocket and handed the other to Bai Xiuwen, "You keep this watch."
Looking at the watch that was stuffed into his hand, Bai Xiuwen was terrified and shocked: "Stationmaster, how can this be? How can I take yours?"
"If you ask me to take it, then take it. If you work for me, I can let you do it for free."
"No, it's too expensive." Bai Xiuwen refused repeatedly. He felt it was a trick when someone suddenly gave him a watch.
Wang Chengcai stuffed it back and held Bai Xiuwen's hand.
"Just take it if I tell you to. This watch is not expensive at all. I bought it from the station. It's only a few dollars. If you don't fix it, it will be garbage."
"Besides, how can I let you work for free? There is no such thing as that."
While Benzi was eating meat and drinking soup, Wang Chengcai was still thinking about waiting for Bai Xiuwen to do something big for him next year so that he could get a promotion.
Bai Xiuwen wanted to refuse, but Wang Chengcai dispelled the idea with just one word.
"I know everything that happened this morning. You are already an adult, how can you marry a wife without something to show off? If you don't take this watch, when will you meet someone next time?"
"This watch costs seventy or eighty dollars, and you need a ticket. We can't get a ticket for watches at our scrap yard. You have to want it. Are you refusing?"
Bai Xiuwen thought of Xu Sinan and wanted to marry her, but he had to have something to show for it.
Xu Sinan can choose not to do it, but she cannot fail to prepare.
"Well, thank you for your kindness, Station Master. I will definitely live up to your expectations. If you have anything else to arrange, just let me know!"
"Oh, that's right." Wang Chengcai smiled happily and patted him on the shoulder.
"Okay, it's getting late. It's time to get off work. I won't bother you anymore. You should go back and rest early."
"Oh, by the way, I see you don't have a bicycle yet?"
"No." Bai Xiuwen shook his head.
"Tomorrow our station will receive a batch of bicycle scraps. You can collect them and see if you can assemble a bicycle. How can a grown man not have a bicycle?"
"Oh, by the way, remember to get a certificate from Lao Lin so that you can go to the police station to get the license plate stamped when needed."
"Thank you, Station Master."
"You're welcome. What's the relationship between us? Okay, it's getting late and I'm off work."
After saying that, Wang Chengcai left the office with his briefcase.
Bai Xiuwen didn't dare to stay any longer, so he closed the door and left, going back to his maintenance room, tidying up and getting ready to go off work.
"Hehe." Looking at the watch spinning in my hand, I finally have something big to show off.
When the scrap bicycle parts arrive tomorrow, I will assemble another one myself, so that will be two.
Many people in Beijing don't have such a rich family background, but he got it first.
"Oh, by the way, we must not forget to open these certificates. We must open them one by one."
Bai Xiuwen is now very conscious about getting a certificate. After all, he was wrongly accused by everyone over the weekend. If he didn't have the certificate, he would be in trouble.
Bai Xiuwen carefully kept the watch. Now he just wanted to keep a low profile. If he took out the watch so ostentatiously, he would get hurt sooner or later.
"Get off work."
