"What can you rent? Our town doesn't even have that kind of large excavator!"
"That's right, if you can rent one, we'll fix this road for you for free!"
...
Before those villagers could say anything, a member of the construction team who had been listening to the gossip from nearby shouted. Laughter played on their faces, and their eyes were full of mockery.
"How can you talk like that? Er Zhu is very capable. If he says he can, he definitely can!"
"Exactly. You don't know our village's situation, so why are you talking nonsense?"
Seeing that someone dared to mock Er Zhu, the faces of several villagers instantly darkened, a flash of anger in their eyes.
"You don't have to repair it for free, just fix the other roads in the village."
Seeing the atmosphere getting more tense, just as the villagers were about to be provoked again by the construction team members, Er Zhu said this with a foolish grin.
The plan for this road repair was only for the main road at the village entrance. But Er Zhu felt that the village roads were also in disrepair from age. He was just about to discuss this matter with Uncle Liu, but he didn't expect the construction team to speak first.
Since that was the case, he didn't need to be polite!
"Alright, as long as you can bring an excavator, I'll fix every road in your village!"
As soon as Er Zhu finished speaking, a man as thick as a vat but not as tall as a vat stood out, patted his chest, and guaranteed.
Seeing this man, the construction team members seemed to have found their backbone, and they all nodded heavily.
"Er Zhu, this is the construction team leader, Liu Sheng. He knows many big shots in the construction industry!"
Uncle Liu's face instantly darkened when he saw the man. He leaned close to Er Zhu and whispered a reminder.
Large excavators like that were usually only found on large construction sites. The reason Liu Sheng was so confident must be because he understood the situation very well!
Could Er Zhu really rent one?
A hint of doubt and worry flashed in Uncle Liu's eyes. He opened his mouth, but in the end, he said nothing.
"Well, don't worry."
Er Zhu nodded slightly, cast a casual glance at the arrogant Liu Sheng, and then turned to walk home.
If it wasn't at a construction site, it didn't mean Er Zhu didn't have one!
He had just bought an excavator a couple of days ago and wanted to try it out.
Watching Er Zhu's retreating back, Liu Sheng was very calm, revealing a sinister smile.
In fact, the reason he was so sure, besides the excavator, was that as far as he knew, there were no excavator drivers in the entire town!
Therefore, that foolish boy was bound to lose!
Even if he had the money to buy an excavator, finding a driver wouldn't be a simple matter!
"Brother Liu, this kid is the richest man in Shiliu Village. What if you buy an excavator?"
As Liu Sheng was smiling happily, a team member suddenly leaned over and asked with concern.
Although Shiliu Village was not large, it had quite a few roads. If they were all to be repaired, it would likely cost hundreds of thousands!
This was equivalent to half a year's income for their construction team!
And this didn't even include their labor costs!
Thinking of this, several team members whispered amongst themselves, a hint of regret in their eyes.
If they had known the kid was so capable, they wouldn't have gotten involved...
"It's fine, this kid is guaranteed to lose. Everyone can rest assured."
While the villagers were worried, Liu Sheng smiled indifferently and waved his hand, signaling the villagers to leave.
Although the team members were worried, they said nothing upon hearing Liu Sheng's words.
On the other side, seeing Liu Sheng and the others looking so confident, the villagers of Shiliu Village also started to feel uneasy.
"Uncle Liu, do you think Er Zhu can bring the excavator?"
Several villagers gathered in front of Uncle Liu, their faces full of worry.
"Alas, let's hope so."
Uncle Liu looked at Liu Sheng and the others laughing heartily, then looked at Er Zhu, and sighed.
At this point, he was also unsure.
At worst, they would just lose face, which wasn't a big deal, but it was a pity about the road.
Uncle Liu looked at the two large mountains in the distance, his gaze somewhat complicated.
On the other side, after returning home, Er Zhu drove directly to the machinery rental company. Looking at the excavator that was four or five stories high, Er Zhu nodded with satisfaction.
"Boss, the excavator has arrived, and the driver you need has also been recruited."
As soon as Er Zhu got out of the car, a thin and tall man quickly ran out from inside the house, reporting as he handed the documents to Er Zhu.
This man was hired by Er Zhu specifically to manage the machinery rental company. Although the company was not large, it still needed someone to manage it.
He was so busy every day that he rarely returned home, and naturally had no time to manage the company.
"Mm, bring the person over."
Er Zhu didn't even look at the documents. He just waved his hand, his eyes fixed on the excavator.
He remembered seeing this excavator by chance while studying abroad, so he learned a little from the driver. Although he wasn't an expert, he could handle the basic operations.
Time flew by, and everything seemed like yesterday...
"You're saying this is your boss!"
Just as Er Zhu was lost in thought, a gruff voice interrupted his train of thought. He turned his head and saw a dark-skinned, thin man standing behind him in shock.
And he recognized this person at a glance!
Wang Yishan!
Wang Hai's eldest son, Wang Big Brother's nephew!
When Wang Yishan couldn't get into university, he went to another place to learn a skill. He never expected that he would learn this kind of skill!
Wang Yishan looked at Er Zhu, and the words his father Wang Hai had told him echoed in his mind.
This foolish boy dared to hit his father!
Wang Yishan slowly clenched his fists, a flash of anger in his eyes!
Er Zhu's eyes darkened. Looking at Wang Yishan's gloomy face, he guessed something, but he didn't care.
He was just a child who had just come of age, what could he do?
He was no longer the foolish and silly Er Zhu of the past!
"Drive the excavator and come with me!"
Er Zhu said calmly and was about to get into the car to leave when he heard Wang Yishan's voice:
"I'll go with you, but my salary needs to be increased to ten thousand!"
After Wang Yishan finished speaking, not only Er Zhu, but even the man behind him had a fallen face.
A salary of ten thousand?
Had this guy been hit by the door? His salary wasn't even ten thousand, let alone him!
"Impossible!"
Er Zhu glanced sideways at Wang Yishan, who looked smug, his tone extremely cold.
If it were any other time, he wouldn't have refused. But now, it was clear that Wang Yishan was deliberately seeking revenge. Why should he agree?
Although he didn't lack this money, he wasn't a fool either!
"Then let this excavator stay here forever. It's not my money that's being lost anyway!"
Wang Yishan wasn't angry. He sneered, his eyes full of threat.
That's right, he was getting revenge on Er Zhu!
He dared to hit his father, so this foolish boy should pay the price!
"Mm."
Er Zhu remained calm. He turned and walked towards the excavator. Before Wang Yishan could react, Er Zhu had already driven the excavator away!
Seeing this scene, a look of shock flashed in Wang Yishan's eyes, and his mouth fell open!
