Chapter 115 A bit weird (third update)

It can be seen that although Manager Shana is a little unhappy, she seems to be angry but dare not speak.

Bentley answered very naturally, "This is one of my juniors... Now it is considered to have taken someone else's job."

"I understand," Shana nodded. It involves a dispute over interests. The other party is unwilling to hurt their own juniors. This fear is understandable.

With the management ability of the Gold Industry Center, in fact... this fear is not necessary.

But having a reason is better than having no reason, not to mention a barely justifiable reason?

Shana turned around and walked towards the door of the building without even looking at the guards. She just said lightly, "Follow me."

The two armed guards looked at each other and didn't say anything more.

In a building of this level, a masked person actually walked in. People who saw this scene couldn't help but take a second look.

Qu Jianlei drooped his eyelids and ignored these people directly.

Shana took them to find a maintenance worker and asked him to briefly introduce the situation.

Qu Jianlei originally thought it was a ventilation system when Bentley said it, and he was a little puzzled as to why the travel expenses were so high.

After the maintenance worker finished the introduction, he realized that it was a fresh air system with heat exchange?

He had come into contact with this thing a little on Blue Star, and he was not very familiar with it, but he understood the general principle.

What surprised him was: Tianzi District actually had such advanced equipment?

Strictly speaking, this system is not very advanced, much worse than a laser gun or a Gauss gun - at least on Blue Star.

However, this is a wasteland, and high-end equipment to improve the quality of life is really scarce.

In the Hongzi District where he lives, it is very difficult to get some clean water.

Equipment for enjoyment is the most luxurious in the wasteland.

Seeing him in a daze, the maintenance worker took the initiative to ask, "What's wrong? Can you fix it?"

Qu Jianlei withdrew his thoughts and nodded slightly, "You can try it. Show me the relevant manual."

The maintenance worker looked at him in surprise and turned away, "Wait."

After he left, Bentley snorted, "Shana, this guy is not very obedient."

Manager Shana smiled bitterly, "He is the maintenance worker with the longest service in the gold industry. He knows a lot and requires few."

Bentley nodded slightly. As a half-baked maintenance worker, he knew what she meant.

For a building like this that has been built for many years, the longer the maintenance worker works, the better. The level is secondary.

If a master is parachuted in, he will not understand the layout of the entire building and where it is easy to damage, and his efficiency will be poor.

Shana added, "This person is more straightforward and has good intentions. There is no need to be serious with him."

Not long after, the maintenance worker came over with a stack of information, which was only three or four centimeters thick.

Seeing this, Shana nodded and said hello to Bentley, then turned and left.

She was responsible for a lot of things, so it was impossible for her to stay here all the time.

The maintenance worker looked at Bentley with interest, "This elder, how do you know the manager?"

Bentley glanced at him indifferently and didn't answer at all - who do you think you are?

This man was bored and shut up angrily, watching Qu Jianlei flipping through the information.

Qu Jianlei read things very quickly, and it took him more than an hour to finish reading the information.

The maintenance worker was not surprised, he just thought that the other party had been exposed to these before.

Qu Jianlei squinted his eyes, thought for five or six minutes, and then opened his eyes, "I can help check, but I can't repair it."

The maintenance worker looked at him curiously, "Why can't it be repaired?"

"They are all special parts," Qu Jianlei replied in a deep voice, "I will find the problematic parts, and you can find the manufacturer yourself."

In fact, he knew before coming that he was only responsible for testing, but this maintenance worker was too self-righteous.

"That's true," the maintenance worker nodded, agreeing with his words, "I thought you were doing private work."

It took almost half a day to inspect every room in the building.

This is because Qu Jianlei did not simply knock with a stick - it is easy to remind people of a maintenance technician of Zhou Liu.

The testing equipment placed in the motorcycle bucket came in handy at this time - even if it was just for show.

Some tenants' rooms were in working condition and did not welcome him to inspect, so they could only wait until lunch time to inspect.

This situation is not uncommon, so Qu Jianlei simplified some inspection steps during the noon inspection.

He found a total of 31 problems and pointed them out to the maintenance worker.

There was indeed nothing wrong with the work attitude of the man, and he carefully recorded it and did not ask any more questions.

After the inspection, Manager Shana rushed over again and asked the maintenance worker to find a typical example for verification.

The Gold Industry Center is luxuriously decorated, but there are always parts that are easier to verify among the 31 problems.

The repairman started to work, and Shana looked at Bentley apologetically, "This is the rule, not that I don't trust you."

"I understand this," Bentley replied expressionlessly. Is a repairman who dares not let others check qualified to be a repairman?

Shana was still worried that he would be angry, so she took the initiative to show her goodwill, "Your inspection is fast and the fee is low. It's much easier to deal with than the manufacturer."

Bentley was too lazy to respond to this, but Qu Jianlei was a little curious, "Is the after-sales service attitude very bad?"

How dare the manufacturer not provide good service to such a luxurious piece of equipment?

"After-sales service?" Manager Shana chewed on this fresh phrase, and Bentley's eyes flashed.

Shana nodded slightly, "Yes, this is an 'above' product. There are maintenance staff in Taipei. It's too difficult to maintain..."

In her words, such luxurious equipment was originally only available to some powerful forces in Taidu.

As a result, the Gold Industry Center wanted to create a "luxury" image, so it was thanks to the help of people that they came up with the idea to install one.

Because I bought it from a high-end store, you can imagine the attitude of the after-sales service.

I want to invite the maintenance personnel from Taidu to come, but the transportation fee alone is 500.

Then Jinye is not responsible for food and housing, but also pays 200 labor fees every day.

Too expensive? I'm sorry, you can cultivate with whomever you like. Anyway, they are not short of each other.

Otherwise, ordinary rich people would not even dare to think about this top-notch luxury product.

As for the 31 problems that Qu Jianlei found, it would take at least five days for the manufacturer's people to find out all of them.

In other words, the carriage fee plus labor fee is at least 1,500, and food and accommodation must be taken care of for five days.

This is just the cost of inspection, as for the repair cost? That's another question.

It is precisely because inspection and repair are calculated separately that Jinye will consider hiring another maintenance technician to conduct inspection.

Qu Jianlei's carriage fee was only 200, and if a problem was detected, he was only given 20 silver dollars, so he could go to his grandma's house for a cheap price.

His entire testing cost this time was eight hundred and twenty silver dollars.

Although it is more than half of the manufacturer's maintenance personnel's fees, the key is that there are many problems detected, right?

Moreover, the maintenance man wanted to treat him to lunch, but Qu Jianlei refused without hesitation - some rooms could only be inspected at this time.

The working attitude is different and the speed is fast. Who wouldn't like this kind of service?

It took the maintenance man more than an hour to remove the problematic component, and another half an hour to inspect it.

As expected, there is indeed a problem and it is unacceptable to accept it.

Manager Shana thanked Bentley and Qu Jianlei and said they would arrange payment as soon as possible.

After they left, she looked at the maintenance man again and asked, "Thomas, how good is this guy?"

"The level is definitely high, but it's a little weird," Thomas thought of the masked man's style during his noon inspection.

Can you tell if there is a problem by just tapping it with a stick?

If he had heard of such a thing before, he would definitely not believe it, but what this person said... it was really hard to say.

People without any ability would not have the guts to take on such a job!

Then, he thought of another question, "Some parts only have hidden dangers and can still be used for the time being..."

"Can it still be used?" Manager Shana was stunned when she heard this, and then asked thoughtfully, "How long can it be used?"

"It's hard to say," Thomas replied carefully. He acted in a carefree manner, but he would not talk nonsense about professional matters.

Thinking of the two sentences he vaguely heard just now, he tentatively spoke, "Is it because... you are charged based on the problems you find?"

A trace of displeasure flashed across Shana's eyes. You know it's the person I found, but you still talk like this?

But in the end, she still asked aloud, "Can the people in that family...can find the hidden danger?"

"I won't look for it even if I can find it," Thomas really dared to say anything. "If you come here one more time, how much more money will you make."

"You know nothing!" Shana snorted coldly, "Don't you feel comfortable staying here in Taidu?"

This was not her guess, but the maintenance man was used to making a lot of money, and the disgust he felt every time he came was from the bottom of his heart.

After all, Houjing cannot keep up with the prosperity of Taidu. To people from Central City, Taidu is just a remote place.

Therefore, the people above do not want to make more money, but it is difficult to find hidden dangers.

After thinking about this, she laughed and said, "Find a hidden danger and check it. The bill will be paid soon."

Thomas opened his mouth in shock, "Is this going to pay the bill?"

At the same time, Qu Jianlei sat on the back seat of the motorcycle and asked loudly, "They didn't pay in advance?"

He himself disliked credit, and he was certain that Bentley preferred to charge in advance.

"Just make do with the first order," Bentley replied in a sullen voice.

"There is always a process to opening up the situation, and this order is not small... Don't worry, they don't dare to owe money!"

It's not "I won't owe", but "I dare not owe". Qu Jianlei instantly thought of his previous guess.

He couldn't help but gossip, "Old Ben, you and that Shana..."

"We have nothing to do with each other," Bentley replied calmly.

Then he couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect that a person like you would chew your tongue."

Qu Jianlei didn't mind what he said, because he felt that his curiosity was a bit too much.

But if he can learn the tricks, wouldn't it be convenient for him to take on jobs by himself in the future?

"Then how do you judge that the other party doesn't dare to owe money?"

Chapter 116 Fame (fourth update)

Bentley was able to get this job for a very simple reason: someone introduced him!

It's not a middleman or something, that kind of person is not qualified to matchmaking for the Gold Industry Center.

The introducer was very respectable. When he was down and out, Bentley stopped by and helped me.

As a result, the person said that I must repay the favor when I become rich, and you can just leave me a secret message.

Bentley came to save people, but he just did it casually, without pointing out that the other party could repay his kindness.

But since he was in a good mood, he casually agreed on the code word.

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh.

"I originally thought that I would find a few strong people to talk to, but I didn't expect this guy to admit it. It would be lucky."

Qu Jianlei couldn't help but ask again, "Aren't you afraid that your identity will be exposed?"

"When I rescued him, I was wearing a mask," Bentley replied casually, "and we made an agreement to only recognize code words."

Qu Jianlei nodded when he heard this, "It's really rare."

"It's so rare," Bentley said cursingly, "When I saved people back then, I was trying to transform the strength of the soldiers."

That is, after becoming developed, I don't want to arouse the anger of a reformed warrior.

The first order from the gold industry went smoothly, and two days later, Bentley got another order.

This order is only for inspection and not maintenance, and the cost is not too high. It is only a mere three hundred silver dollars. Fortunately, there is no need to visit the house.

The third order came a little late, but it was a big order - a comprehensive test of the performance of the four mechas.

What is more depressing is that this time I have to go to the door for testing.

However, Bentley explained, "No one will be watching the testing process. The key is to send four mechas over. Do you want to be famous?"

After all, the suburbs are not prosperous enough. It doesn't matter if one or two mechas appear occasionally, but four of them are really eye-catching.

It's not difficult to transport it secretly, but... what if someone sees it?

This test took Qu Jianlei two days.

In fact, with his speed, he could complete the test in one day, but in that case, it would be a bit shocking.

Secondly, the other party gave too much. The testing fee of 400 silver dollars per mecha... Is it appropriate to earn 1,600 silver dollars a day?

For the sake of money, Qu Jianlei had no choice but to run twice.

I just finished this job, and two days later there was another job...it was a monitoring system!

After Qu Jianlei heard about it, he asked in shock, "Is there still surveillance here?"

"This is Houjing!" Bentley rolled his eyelids, "Six major intersections entering the city, each with a surveillance camera, is that much?"

This is really not much, Qu Jianlei is sure of this, "But all six monitors are broken?"

"Some people don't like it," Bentley spread his hands. "You also know that there are many lawless people."

Wastelanders don't like to be restrained, and this is normal.

In fact, Qu Jianlei didn't want to repair it, and he himself was shady. "How long has it been broken?"

"I don't know," Bentley smiled awkwardly, "Anyway, let's just make money."

Qu Jianlei shook his head politely, "Sorry, I'm not very interested in this."

"Two hundred carriage fare," Bentley spread his hands. He knew what the opponent's weakness was. "It's just a trip."

Qu Jianlei remained silent for a while before speaking.

"Well, I don't care about the fare. The main thing is that if we don't go, it will be easy for people to suspect that we have unknown origins."

Bentley nodded expressionlessly, "Well, this concern is very reasonable."

Qu Jianlei glanced at the old man suspiciously and thought to himself, "Why do I listen to this? It sounds like an irony?"

The next day, they followed a middle floor of the settlement and went to see six cameras.

All six cameras were broken, and Qu Jianlei couldn't help complaining, "Can't you just change the camera?"

"The number of cameras is limited," the middle-level manager named Franco replied helplessly, "I can't even buy one if I want to."

"The quantity is limited?" Qu Jianlei was stunned. Even in Blue Star, this thing is only cheap.

But the next moment, he told himself that this was a wasteland and whatever happened was normal.

"The main reason is that Taidu interception was too strong," Franco complained helplessly, looking full of complaints.

"There aren't many cameras provided by the 'top', but people in Taidu are breaking the cameras all day long..."

"They don't have enough of their own, so they appropriate our Sijing's... How can this be justified?"

"The camera was turned off all day long?" Qu Jianlei was shocked again, "Then go check the video and see who did it."

Franco became more and more frowning, "Video systems are more expensive and useless... Some marksmen are particularly powerful."

Then he thought of something and looked at Qu Jianlei in shock, "Have you ever seen a video system? Who is so rich?"

Qu Jianlei touched his forehead helplessly and simply did not answer.

Seeing this, Bentley immediately changed the subject, "Did you build this monitoring system at your own expense?"

"Taidu will not be kind enough to help with construction," Franco continued to complain.

"If you have everything, if the other four capitals want to do it, they will stop it... If you don't focus on building yourself up, you will only stumble!"

"It turns out it's at my own expense," Qu Jianlei didn't know what to say.

After listening for a while, he already understood that the cultural environment and productivity level of Tianzi District were not suitable for installing surveillance cameras.

All we can say is that face projects kill people!

Bentley didn't want to continue nagging, "Do you have a backup camera now? If not, there is no way to detect it."

"There are only three left. I took one out," Franco replied dully, "Don't break it."

Qu Jianlei took the camera and installed it within a few minutes. "Ask the monitoring room if you can see it."

Not long after, a message came from the monitoring room, "I can't see it. The wire at the northwest intersection you installed now is broken."

Qu Jianlei looked at Franko speechlessly, "The wire is broken, how do you want me to check it?"

Franko answered confidently, "Then please check it out. We can repair it if the wire is broken."

It is impossible to change the wire. The distance is too far, and there are cables for transmitting optical signals in the middle, which is very expensive.

"Let me check where the wire is broken?" Qu Jianlei was really angry, "Why don't you check it?"

"We have already checked it," Franko shouted angrily from his hand radio, "We can't find it!"

The cable is broken inside? Qu Jianlei became more and more angry, "Don't you know that for this kind of fault, you must use a special line tester?"

"Do you know a special line tester?" Franko looked at him with more and more weird eyes.

Then he spread his hands, "Sorry, that kind of instrument is not only expensive, but also not even available in Taidu...it's difficult for them to rent it once."

It's not a question of whether it's expensive or not. The first thing he emphasized is that it's difficult.

"Then I can't do anything," Qu Jianlei shook his head, "If there is no equipment, I can't help."

If there is equipment, do we need to find you? Franko smiled bitterly, "But everyone says you are very good at testing."

"No matter how good I am at testing, I have to stick to the principle," Qu Jianlei shook his head, "I can't do this job!"

Then he looked at Bentley, "Well... return the travel expenses, let's go."

"No," Franko was anxious when he heard it, "Return the travel expenses... what will happen?"

Qu Jianlei looked at him suspiciously, thinking that there are still such obedient wastelanders?

Then he realized that the people of Houjing might not be reasonable in other matters, but they would definitely be reasonable in this matter!

The reason is very simple, this is a face-saving project, and the people of Houjing definitely don't want to be ridiculed by Taidu or the other three capitals.

After understanding this, Qu Jianlei said straightforwardly, "The travel expenses must be refunded. This is my rule!"

"If you don't refund, don't expect me to help you detect anything in the future."

"Another point is that I hope that next time you invite me, you will first figure out whether your request is reasonable!"

He was really a little resentful. It was obviously about the cable detector, and you asked me to detect it manually?

It doesn't matter if there are some mistakes in doing things, but it can't be so outrageous, right? "My time is precious, don't waste time!"

Seeing that he was angry, Bentley took out two silver bills and stuffed them into Franko's pocket, and turned to drive the three-wheeled vehicle.

They left, and Franko was stunned there. After a long time, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, "This is the trouble."

This is the first time that Qu Jianlei failed to complete the inspection task.

Interestingly, his reputation has not only not been damaged, but has gained more attention from people in the industry.

Because he did not complete the inspection, he took the initiative to refund the travel expenses and scolded Franko.

You know, that is the real power figure in the engineering of Houjing officials!

And Franko himself admitted that Master Jian Lei did have a bad temper, but his knowledge was amazing!

This was also an endorsement for Qu Jianlei from the side. There were really few maintenance technicians that Franko highly recognized.

On the third day after this incident, someone took the initiative to find Bentley, hoping to invite Master Jian Lei to do an inspection.

This inspection was to see if there were any hidden dangers in the foundation of a construction site.

Bentley felt that if he introduced this job back, he would probably be ridiculed by Qu Jianlei again.

So he said, "Master Jian Lei may not take this job, why don't I go with you to take a look."

"Master Jian Lei, as long as you go, the travel fee is 500!" The other party directly quoted, "Absolutely no refund."

"Do you need to ask?" Bentley replied unhappily, "We also took the initiative to refund the money for Franko!"

The other party lowered his voice to explain, "We have asked many parties to check, there is definitely no problem with the foundation..."

"Now asking Master Jian Lei to come out is also to enhance persuasiveness."

Bentley is ninety years old and has been wandering for most of his life. What hasn't he seen?

He reacted instantly and realized what the other party wanted, so he asked, "Just go once?"

"Yes, just go once," the other party also knew that he understood, "Just show up, no need for his signature to prove it!"
