"Oh dear, what's going on? Are they fighting?"
Just as Er Zhu was about to act, several people in repair uniforms rushed out from the nearby after-sales service vehicle, shouting as they broke up the scuffle.
"This brat not only questioned my skills but also insulted me! Today, I'll teach him a lesson in place of his parents!"
Lin Jianguo's face turned ashen. He charged forward, shaking his fist and shouting.
Having repaired cars for over twenty years, he had almost never made a mistake. How dare this kid question him? It was simply outrageous!
"Old Lin, why are you arguing with a child? Don't forget the company rules."
The mechanic cast a displeased glance at Er Zhu, then forcefully pulled Lin Jianguo back, reminding him.
They were also angry about Er Zhu's behavior, but for the sake of their jobs, they had no choice but to tolerate it.
After all, finding another job like this would be almost impossible!
Upon hearing his colleagues, the anger in Old Lin's eyes subsided by half, and the hand he had raised slowly lowered.
His wife had been paralyzed for years, he couldn't afford to lose this job!
"Old Lin, why is there so much oil leaking?"
Just then, a voice called out from behind. It was Master Jiang.
Master Jiang was the captain of their after-sales repair team and a long-time friend of Lin Jianguo.
"Huh?"
Lin Jianguo's face instantly darkened, and he quickly turned to check.
"Old Lin, this is clearly a sudden engine stall caused by a ruptured oil line. Why are you inspecting the sensor?"
Hearing this, the other mechanics gathered around. After a thorough inspection, they looked at Lin Jianguo with confusion.
"Ah, this... this..."
Lin Jianguo's eyes were filled with panic. He wanted to explain but didn't know how.
When he had noticed something wrong with the sensor, he assumed that was the cause, but he never expected the oil line to actually be ruptured!
Lin Jianguo involuntarily glanced at Er Zhu, no longer daring to underestimate him.
"Not only are you not serious about your work, but you almost got into a fight. Lin Jianguo, what do you think you're doing!"
Seeing Lin Jianguo stammering and unable to speak, Master Jiang said, filled with anger and helplessness.
As a friend, he didn't want to criticize Lin Jianguo, but as the captain, he was also responsible to the company.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I thought he was just talking nonsense, being a young driver."
Lin Jianguo's old face turned red. He apologized profusely to Er Zhu while clasping his hands in supplication.
"You... alas!"
Master Jiang wanted to continue criticizing, but thinking of Lin Jianguo's circumstances, he could only sigh.
"I'm sorry, young man, my old eyes were mistaken."
Lin Jianguo apologized, glancing at his friend, then turned to Er Zhu.
"Who says he's a young driver? He's the owner!"
Just as Er Zhu was about to speak, Wang Xiaomei, who couldn't stand it any longer, got out of the car and said indignantly.
Boom!
At these words, everyone looked at Er Zhu in astonishment, especially Lin Jianguo, whose eyes widened!
The owner?
It's over, this is a huge problem!
Master Jiang frowned even deeper. He had only intended to reprimand Lin Jianguo, but he never expected him to offend the owner!
And moreover, the owner of such a luxury car!
"Lin Jianguo, you're fired!"
Master Jiang said to Lin Jianguo with a helpless look, shouting loudly.
"Don't, Old Jiang, this job is very important to me. Please don't fire me."
Lin Jianguo's eyes welled up with tears as he ran to Master Jiang, bowing repeatedly and pleading, completely losing his arrogant demeanor from moments ago.
"Don't beg me. Go beg whoever you offended."
Seeing Lin Jianguo's pitiable state, Master Jiang turned his face away, speaking angrily.
Although the other mechanics also felt sorry for Lin Jianguo, remembering the scene just now, they didn't dare to intercede for him.
"Sir, please, have mercy, and forgive me this once!"
Lin Jianguo knew Master Jiang was hinting at something. He quickly changed direction and ran towards Er Zhu.
"So you know to beg now? Where's that arrogant spirit from before? With your snobbery, you wanted to lecture Er Zhu. Truly overestimating yourself!"
Before Er Zhu could say anything, Wang Xiaomei, standing beside him, blocked his path and reprimanded him fiercely.
Perhaps spurred by her parents' experiences, Wang Xiaomei harbored a deeper hatred for such people.
"Wuwu... It's all my fault, I was wrong. As long as you don't fire me, I'll accept any punishment."
Seeing Wang Xiaomei's sharp gaze, a trace of despair flashed in Lin Jianguo's eyes. The man in his fifties and sixties actually burst into tears.
"Alright, there's no need to be fired. It's not a big deal."
Seeing Lin Jianguo's helpless appearance, Er Zhu felt a bit sorry for him and stepped forward, speaking.
He had only meant to remind Lin Jianguo. If he listened, fine; if not, that was also fine, as he would be the one doing the rework anyway.
Moreover, Lin Jianguo had wanted to lash out but ultimately didn't, right?
These weren't the main points. The crucial point was that Er Zhu sensed Lin Jianguo had something weighing on his mind!
However, his Heavenly Eye could only perceive this much; he couldn't discern the specifics.
"Thank you, young man. You're a good person!"
Hearing Er Zhu finally speak, Lin Jianguo wiped away his tears and gratefully clasped his hand.
Wang Xiaomei stood aside, looking at Er Zhu with complex emotions in her eyes.
She felt like she was falling for Er Zhu more and more!
"It's nothing, Master Lin. Do you have something on your mind?"
Er Zhu shook his head slightly and then, as if remembering something, asked curiously.
Hearing this, a look of astonishment, as if he had seen a ghost, flashed in Lin Jianguo's eyes.
"Old Lin doesn't have anything on his mind, except that his wife, who has been paralyzed for years, is his constant worry."
Before Lin Jianguo could speak, Master Jiang replied for him.
"That's right, right. Old Lin's wife has been paralyzed for over twenty years. They've been to many places but found no cure!"
"Yes, and the cause of the illness was also strange. She became paralyzed suddenly."
...
The other mechanics also seemed to have realized something, adding their comments one after another.
"Young man, can you cure illnesses? If you can cure my wife's illness, I'll agree to anything you ask!"
Thinking of his wife suffering from illness, Lin Jianguo tightly gripped Er Zhu's hand, his eyes filled with tears, and he was about to kneel before him as he spoke.
"Master Lin, get up quickly. Give me your phone number, and I'll contact you when I have time."
Just as Lin Jianguo was about to kneel, Er Zhu pulled him up.
"My goodness, you really can!"
"Young man, can you really do it? Many experienced TCM doctors have visited multiple times and haven't even found the root cause. Are you sure?"
"Young man, be realistic. Boasting isn't good!"
...
As soon as Er Zhu finished speaking, a chorus of mocking voices arose.
