Chapter 115 is a bit weird (third update)
It can be seen that although Steward Shana is a little unhappy, he seems to be angry but dare not speak out.
Bentley answered naturally, "This is one of my juniors... now he is stealing someone else's job."
"Understood," Shana Diandian nodded. It involves a dispute over interests, and the other party is unwilling to hurt his own children. This fear is understandable.
With Gold Industry Center's management capabilities, actually... this fear is not necessary.
But having a reason is better than having no reason at all, let alone a barely plausible reason?
Shana turned around and walked towards the door of the building. He didn't even look at the guard. He just said calmly, "Follow me."
The two armed guards looked at each other without saying anything else.
In a building of this caliber, a man wearing a mask actually walked in. Anyone who saw this scene couldn't help but take a second look.
Qu Jianlei drooped his eyelids and ignored these people.
Shana took them to a maintenance man and asked him to briefly introduce the situation.
Qu Jianlei originally heard from Bentley that he thought it was a ventilation system, and was a little confused as to why the transportation fee was so high.
After the maintenance man finished the introduction, he realized that it was a fresh air system with heat exchange?
He had some exposure to this thing on Blue Star, so he wasn't very familiar with it, but he understood the general principle.
What surprised him was: Tian-character District actually has such advanced equipment?
Strictly speaking, this system is not that advanced, much worse than Laser Gun or Gauss Gun - at least in Blue Star.
However, here is the Wasteland, which is really lacking in high-end equipment to improve the quality of life.
In the Hong-character Settlement Area where he lives, it is very difficult to get some clean water.
Equipment used for enjoyment is the most luxurious in Wasteland.
Seeing that he was in a daze, the maintenance worker took the initiative to ask, "What, can it be repaired?"
Qu Jianlei recovered his thoughts and nodded slightly, "You can give it a try. Show me the relevant instructions."
The maintenance man looked at him in surprise, turned around and left, "Just wait."
After he left, Bentley snorted softly, "Shana, this guy is not very obedient."
The Shana manager gave a wry smile and said, "He is Jin Ye's longest-serving maintenance worker. He knows a lot and has few requirements."
Bentley nodded slightly. As an inexperienced maintenance engineer, he knew exactly what she meant.
For a building like this that has been built for many years, the maintenance workers are really getting better the longer they work, but the level is second best.
A master is parachuted in. He doesn't understand the layout of the entire building and doesn't know where it's easily damaged, so it's inefficient.
Shana added, "This person is relatively straightforward and has a good mind. There is no need to be serious with him."
At Buduo, the maintenance worker came over with a stack of documents, which was three or four centimeters thick.
Seeing this, Shana nodded and said hello to Bentley, then turned and left.
She is responsible for a lot of things, and she can't always stay here.
The maintenance man looked at Bentley with great interest, "Old man, how do you know the manager?"
Bentley looked at him indifferently and didn't answer at all - who do you think you are? This guy was so bored that he shut up angrily and watched Qu Jianlei flipping through the information.
Qu Jianlei reads things very quickly. It took a little more than an hour to finish reading the information.
The maintenance man was not surprised, he just assumed that the other party had been exposed to this before.
Qu Jianlei squinted his eyes and thought for five or six minutes, then opened his eyes and said, "I can help you check, but I can't repair it."
The maintenance man 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 faulty parts and you will find the manufacturer yourself."
In fact, he knew before he came that he was only responsible for testing, but this maintenance man was too self-righteous.
"That's true," said the maintenance worker Diandian, agreeing with his statement, "I thought you were doing private work."
It took Buduo half a day to test each room in the entire building.
This is because Qu Jianlei does not simply hit it with a stick - it is easy to think of a maintenance technician of Universe Six.
The testing equipment placed in the motorcycle bucket came in handy at this time - even if it was just for show.
Some tenants' rooms are in working condition and they are not welcome to test, so they can only wait until lunch.
This situation is not uncommon, so Qu Jianlei simplified some detection steps when testing at noon.
He found a total of 31 problems and pointed them out to the maintenance workers.
There was really nothing wrong with that person's work attitude. He took notes carefully and didn't ask any more questions.
After the inspection, the manager from Shana rushed over again and asked the maintenance worker to find a typical model to verify.
Gold Industry Center is luxuriously decorated, but there are thirty-one problems, and there are always parts that are easier to verify.
The maintenance man started to take action. Shana looked at Bentley apologetically, "This is a rule, it's not that I don't believe you."
"I understand this," Bentley replied expressionlessly. Is a maintenance technician who dares not let others check him worthy of being a maintenance technician? Shana was still worried that he would be angry, so he took the initiative to show his kindness, "You can test quickly and charge low fees. It is much easier to deal with than the manufacturer."
Bentley was too lazy to respond, but Qu Jianlei was a little curious, "Is the after-sales service attitude 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 a light flashed in Bentley's eyes.
Shana nodded slightly, "Yes, this is an 'above' product. There are maintenance staff at Tai Du, they are too difficult to maintain..."
In her words, such luxurious equipment was originally only available to some big forces at Tai Du.
As a result, Gold Industry Center wanted to create a "luxury" image, so he had the idea to install one thanks to a favor.
Because I bought it from a high-end store, you can imagine the attitude of the after-sales service.
I would like to invite the maintenance personnel of Tai Du to come, but the transportation fee alone is 500.
Then Jin Ye not only takes care of food and housing, but also pays 200 in labor fees every day.
Too expensive? I'm sorry, you can cultivate with whomever you like. Anyway, they are not inferior to these three.
Otherwise, the ordinary Tycoon would not dare to think about it.
As for the thirty-one problems found by Qu Jianlei, it would take at least five days for the manufacturer 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 Jin Ye will consider hiring another maintenance technician to conduct inspection.
Qu Jianlei's transportation fee is only 200, and if a problem is detected, only 20 Silver Coin will be given, which is as cheap as grandma's house.
His entire testing fee this time was eight hundred and twenty yuan Silver Coin.
Even though it's more than half of what the manufacturer's maintenance personnel charge, the key is that there are so many problems detected, right? Moreover, the maintenance man wanted to invite him to lunch, but Qu Jianlei refused without hesitation - some rooms can 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.
Sure enough, there is indeed a problem, and it is unacceptable to accept it.
Manager Shana thanked Bentley and Qu Jianlei and said that payment would be arranged as soon as possible.
After they left, she looked at the maintenance man again, "Thomas, what's this guy's level like?"
"The level is definitely high, but it's a little weird," Thomas thought of the masked man's style during midday maintenance.
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?" Shana Steward was stunned when he heard this, and then asked thoughtfully, "How long can it be used?"
"It's hard to say," Thomas replied carefully. He acts in a carefree manner, but he doesn't 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?"
Shana's eyes flashed with a trace of displeasure. 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 at Tai Du?"
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, Hou Jing cannot keep up with the prosperity of Tai Du. In the mouth of people from Central City, Tai Du 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, "We have to pay the bill now?"
At the same time, Qu Jianlei was sitting on the back seat of the motorcycle and asked loudly, "They didn't pay in advance?"
He himself doesn't like credit, and he is very sure that Bentley prefers 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, "Lao 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 take this job for a very simple reason. Someone introduced it!
It's not a matchmaker or something, that kind of person is not qualified to match Gold Industry Center.
The introducer was very respectable. When I was down and out, Bentley passed by and helped me.
As a result, the person said that I must repay my kindness when I become rich. Just leave me Secret Code.
Bentley rescued people, but he just did it casually, without pointing out that the other party could repay the favor.
But since he had expressed his intention, he was in a good mood and casually agreed to Secret Code.
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Originally I was thinking that I would find a few strong people to talk to, but I didn't expect this guy to admit his fault. 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 agreed that I would only recognize Secret Code."
Qu Jianlei Hearing this Diandian nodded, "It's really rare."
"It's so rare," Bentley said cursingly, "When I saved people back then, it was Modified Warrior's strength."
That is, after becoming developed, we don't want to arouse the anger of a Modified Warrior.
Jin Ye's first order 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 yuan Silver Coin. 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 time the 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 Coin for each mecha... Is it appropriate to earn 1,600 yuan a day?
For the sake of money, Qu Jianlei could only run twice with difficulty. Just after taking this job, there was another job two days later... it was a monitoring system!
After Qu Jianlei heard about it, he asked in shock, "Is there still surveillance here?"
"This is Hou Jing!" Bentley rolled his eyelids, "Six major intersections entering the city, each with a surveillance camera, is that much?"
This is true Buduo, Qu Jianlei is very 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."
Wasteland people 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 fares," Bentley spread his hands. He knew what the opponent's weakness was, "It's just a trip."
Qu Jianlei was 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 Diandian 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 feels like an irony?
The next day, they followed Settlement, a middle-level employee, to see six cameras.
All six cameras were damaged, 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 Fu Lan Ke replied helplessly, "I can't even buy one if I want to."
"Limited quantity?" Qu Jianlei was shocked. Even at Blue Star, this thing is only cheap.
But the next moment, he told himself, this is Wasteland, and whatever happens is normal.
"The main reason is that Tai Du intercepted it too much," Fu Lan Ke complained helplessly, looking full of complaints.
"The cameras that 'above' can provide are originally Buduo, but Tai Du's cameras are broken all day long..."
"They don't have enough of their own, so they appropriate our Four Capitals'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."
Fu Lan Ke became more and more worried, "Video systems are more expensive and useless... Some marksmen are particularly powerful."
Then he thought of something and looked at Qu Jianlei in astonishment, "Have you ever seen a video system? Who is so rich?"
Qu Jianlei touched his forehead helplessly and simply did not answer.
Bentley saw this and promptly changed the topic, "Did you build this monitoring system at your own expense?"
"Tai Du won't be kind enough to help with construction," Fu Lan Ke continued to complain.
"One Capital has it. If Four Capitals wants to do it, they will stop it... If you don't focus on building yourself up, you will only stumble!"
"It turned out to be at my own expense," Qu Jianlei didn't know what to say.
After listening for a while, he already understood that the humanistic environment and productivity level of Tian-character District were not suitable for installing surveillance.
All we can say is that face projects kill people! Bentley doesn't want to continue nagging like this, "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," Fu Lan Ke 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."
At Buduo, a message came from the monitoring room, "I can't see that the line you are installing at the northwest intersection is broken."
Qu Jianlei looked at Fu Lan Ke speechlessly, "The line is broken, how do you want me to check it?"
Fu Lan Ke replied confidently, "Then please check and find out where the line is broken. We can fix it."
It's impossible to change the line. The distance is too far, and there are cables in the middle that transmit optical signals, which is even more expensive.
"Let me test where the wire is broken?" Qu Jianlei was really angry, "Why don't you test it?"
"We have already tested it," an exasperated shout came from Fu Lan Ke's Handheld Transceiver, "We can't find it!"
Is the cable broken internally? Qu Jianlei became more and more angry, "I don't know if this kind of fault requires a special line detector?"
"Do you also know about the special line detector?" Fu Lan Ke looked at him with an increasingly weird look.
Then he spread his hands and said, "Sorry, that kind of instrument is not only expensive, but it doesn't even have Tai Du... It's difficult for them to rent it once."
It's not a question of whether it's expensive or not. What he emphasized first is that it's difficult.
"Then there's nothing I can do," Qu Jianlei shook his head, "If there's no instrument, there's nothing I can do to help."
If there are instruments, do we need to find you? Fu Lan Ke smiled bitterly, "But they say you are very good at testing."
"No matter how good my testing is, I still have to understand the principles," Qu Jianlei shook his head, "I can't do this job!"
Then he looked at Bentley, "Well... refund the carriage fee, let's go."
"Don't," Fu Lan Ke became anxious after hearing this, "Refund the carriage fee... what's the point?"
Qu Jianlei glanced at him suspiciously, thinking to himself, are there any Wasteland people who are so obedient to the rules? Then he realized that Hou Jing people may not be reasonable in other matters, but they will definitely be reasonable in this matter!
The reason is very simple. This is a face-saving project. Hou Jing people definitely don't want to be laughed at by Tai Du or other three capitals.
Wanting to understand this, Qu Jianlei said simply, "The carriage fee must be refunded. This is my rule!"
"If you don't withdraw, don't expect me to test anything for you in the future."
"One more thing is, I hope that next time you invite me, you will first find out whether your request is reasonable!"
He was really a little resentful. It was obviously about the cable detector, but you asked me to do the manual inspection? It doesn't matter if you do things a little wrong, but it can't be so outrageous, right? "My time is precious, don't waste it!"
Seeing that he was angry, Bentley took out two banknotes and stuffed them into Fu Lan Ke, then turned around to drive the three-wheeler.
The two of them left. Fu Lan Ke was stunned there. After a long time, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, "This is a big deal."
This is the first time Qu Jianlei failed to complete the detection task.
Interestingly, his reputation has not been damaged, but has gained the attention of more people in the industry.
Because the test was not completed, he took the initiative to refund the transportation fee and even scolded Fu Lan Ke.
You know, that is Hou Jing official's most powerful figure in engineering! And Fu Lan Ke himself admitted that Master Jian Lei's temper is indeed a little bit loud, but his experience is really amazing!
This is an endorsement of Qu Jianlei from the side. There are really not many maintenance technicians who can be highly recognized by Fu Lan Ke.
On the third day after this incident, someone approached Bentley, hoping to invite Master Jian Lei for testing.
The test this time was to see if there were any hidden dangers in the foundation of a construction site.
Bentley feels that if he introduces this job back, he will probably be laughed at by Qu Jianlei again.
So he said, "Master Jian Lei may not be able to take this job. How about I come with you to have a look."
"Master Jian Lei As long as you go, the carriage fee is 500!" The other party directly quoted the price, "There is absolutely no refund required."
"Do you need to ask for it?" Bentley replied angrily, "Fu Lan Ke, we also took the initiative to withdraw!"
The person on the other side lowered his voice and explained, "We have asked multiple parties to check it, and there must be nothing wrong with the foundation..."
"Now we ask Master Jian Lei to take action to enhance our persuasion."
Bentley is ninety years old and has been wandering for most of his life. What things have he never seen?
He immediately realized what the other party wanted, so he asked, "Only one trip?"
"That's right, just go there," the other person knew that he understood, "Just show up, you don't need his signature to prove it!"
