Chapter 2926 Gear Bike
Director Hu doesn't live here; he lives in the factory's residential compound.

After Wang Qingshan drove Wang Yue out of the alley, he abruptly asked,
"Xiao Yue, are you sure you can really do this? If you're not sure, let's go to the alley entrance and play some chess with Lao Guan!"

Wang Yue knew who Lao Guan was, the one Wang Qingshan was talking about—the one known as the Nine Gates Admiral, Guan Xiaoguan's grandfather.

Wang Yue knew this man was very wary and didn't want to get to know him so early, so he simply said...
"Forget it, let's hurry up and go to the factory. The quota for this year will be released soon. If we don't change it now, we'll have to wait until next year."

Wang Qingshan understood the implication in Wang Yue's words: Wang Yue was very confident. He didn't want to miss this opportunity, so he quickly started pedaling with all his might.

Along the way, many neighbors saw the father and son hurrying along and couldn't help but ask them a few questions. They were given vague answers, and in less than half an hour, they arrived at the factory's residential compound.

On the way, Wang Yue wanted to switch places with Wang Qingshan, but Wang Qingshan refused.

Wang Qingshan's reasons were also very compelling, making it difficult for Wang Yue to press him further.

"Think carefully about what you're going to say. Director Hu is quite busy. If you can't grab her attention, she's unlikely to listen to you finish."

Indeed, that's exactly the case. Director Hu has been so overwhelmed by people coming to his door asking for jobs lately that he finally got a chance to rest for a while, but then Wang Yue and Wang Qingshan came looking for him again.

So, just as Factory Director Hu went out to buy something, he happened to run into Wang Qingshan, and he said impatiently...
"Old Wang! I've remembered about your son's situation, but I'm also trying to help you."

Wang Qingshan was at a loss for words, so he looked directly at Wang Yue.

Wang Yue knew that Wang Qingshan was in a difficult position, and he also understood why Director Hu was so impatient. After all, Wang Qingshan had already contacted him several times, and any normal person would get annoyed.

Wang Yue said directly, "Director Hu, I can design a multi-speed bicycle. If you don't want it, I'll ask Flying Pigeon Bicycle Factory!"

Sure enough, this sentence caught Director Hu's attention. He immediately stopped walking out and looked at Wang Yue with some suspicion.

Factory Director Hu didn't rush to ask about the multi-speed bicycle; instead, he looked at Wang Qingshan and asked,
"Is this Xiao Yue? He's gotten tanned and taller after a few years in the countryside."

Wang Qingshan smiled憨厚ly, and then recited the explanation that Wang Yue had prepared for him.
"His mother has made me deliver things to him quite often, otherwise, given how incapable he is of doing any work, he probably would have starved long ago."

"But going to the countryside was actually quite good. He used to just play around and never studied, but there he met a few people who knew about machinery, and they taught him some things."

Factory Director Hu immediately understood the source of Wang Yue's technology, and then looked at Wang Yue and asked,

"Xiaoyue, do you have the blueprints ready? I want to see how well you've learned."

Wang Qingshan quickly handed over the blueprints and asked cautiously,

"Factory manager, I think this thing can be made, but it's not very useful."

Factory Director Hu glanced at the assembly drawings and was immediately drawn to the design. He smiled and said...

"What do you know? Our people are hardworking and resilient, but people abroad really like these kinds of cars with gears."

"It's just that we didn't have the energy to do this before, but now that we can, we might be able to earn a lot of foreign exchange."

As Director Hu spoke, he looked through the drawings and began to praise them repeatedly. After reviewing the entire assembly diagram, he immediately assured everyone...
"Xiao Yue, come with me to the factory now, and we'll arrange for someone to do it. Your spot in the factory is set, and nobody can complain about it."

Upon hearing the factory director's confident words, Wang Qingshan immediately smiled. He bowed several times before quickly saying,

"Thank you for your help, Factory Manager. This kid used to be very mischievous, but he's much more mature now. I'll have to keep an eye on him."

Although Wang Yue didn't say anything, he still followed closely behind Director Hu, and the three of them arrived at the bicycle factory together.

On the way, Director Hu saw Wang Yue riding Wang Qingshan's bicycle and said with a smile,

"When we get to the factory, I'll tell the logistics department that I'll reward you with a bicycle."

"You're not a child anymore; it's not appropriate for you to always ride on your dad's bicycle."

Wang Yue knew that Factory Director Hu thought highly of him, so of course he wouldn't be ungrateful. Instead, he smiled and said...

"Uncle Hu, how about I ride one with gears? That way, when I ride it out, it won't be advertising for us."

Factory Director Hu was in a good mood, and he said nonchalantly, "As long as you make this, you can ride the sample first, just as a test run for the factory. I can make that decision."

Factory Director Hu felt that the newly made car must have a lot of problems. Since Wang Yue liked it, it would be a good opportunity for the person who designed the transmission car to experience the car's problems. He would probably be able to find the issues better than others.

The three of them went to the factory and had several master craftsmen brought in to study the feasibility of the car.

In fact, Wang Yue's blueprints had already taken into account the current manufacturing capabilities, so after the master craftsmen finished looking at the blueprints, they were full of praise and couldn't wait to start making them.

Several master craftsmen also faced the problem of their children returning to the city to find work. They understood that once this bicycle production line was put into operation, a large number of workers would need to be recruited, and the children of these veteran technicians would naturally have a much greater chance than those from outside the city.

So, the master craftsmen immediately got to work. Some went to the mold workshop to make parts, while others looked for suitable accessories. Wang Yue, Wang Qingshan, Factory Director Hu, and the master craftsmen stayed up all night, and by the early hours of the next day, they had actually handcrafted two and a half bicycles.

The reason it's two and a half vehicles is that although they have quite a few molds that can be cast in one go, there are always some errors due to the lack of a standard production line and the reliance on manual labor.

Fortunately, the car was eventually built. Although it was a little heavier than a regular bicycle, it still served its purpose of changing the world.

Factory Director Hu personally rode it around, adjusted several gears to get a feel for it, and immediately approved the design of a production line for the multi-speed bicycle.

Because of this blueprint, Wang Yue got a formal job and became an apprentice in the technical department!
Yes, an apprentice!
At this time, everyone who enters the factory is initially an apprentice, and it takes at least a year before they can become a formal technician.

Wang Yue wasn't picky; he hadn't been back in the city long, and finding a job was already quite an achievement.

Moreover, the fact that Wang Yue had a job immediately attracted the attention of the entire alley. Especially with Wang's mother's proud boasting, everyone in the alley knew that Wang Yue had learned a skill during his years in the countryside and could design bicycles.

The people in the alley didn't really believe it at first. Who could have imagined that a mischievous kid who only graduated from junior high school would become a designer after taking a trip to the countryside?

The difference is too huge!

Fortunately, Wang Yue's bicycle could serve as evidence, so no one doubted what Wang's mother said.

However, becoming famous brought another problem: many people wanted to entrust them with buying bicycles.

Wang Qingshan and his mother were getting old and knew they couldn't agree to this, so they wouldn't help Wang Yue find work. However, some young people took the initiative to approach Wang Yue.

Sure enough, Wang Yue ran into Cheng Jianjun at the entrance of the alley after getting off work that day.

Cheng Jianjun seemed to have been waiting for Wang Yue for a long time. As soon as he saw Wang Yue, he immediately came over.

Wang Yue didn't have a particularly deep impression of the show at first, but when he received the mission, the system fed him a bit of the plot, which made him very familiar with it.

In the drama, Cheng Jianjun and Han Chunming were originally good brothers, but after growing up, they fell in love with the same person, and their love turned into hatred.

When Wang Yue saw Cheng Jianjun come to him without Han Chunming by his side, he knew it was probably about the bicycle.

Sure enough, Cheng Jianjun greeted him warmly from afar, "Wang Yue, I've been waiting for you for ages, why are you only just getting back?"

Wang Yue got out of the car on his own, and as he walked into the yard, he asked with disdain,

"Han Chunming isn't here, and you can't beat me by yourself. You still dare to come at me?"

Cheng Jianjun's initial enthusiasm froze for a moment, but remembering the purpose of his visit, he immediately smiled and said...

"That was when we were kids and didn't know any better. How could we still fight now that we're all grown up?"

If that's the case, then how many neighbors in our Han Family Alley have conflicts? Will we ever be able to live together peacefully again?

Wang Yue knew Cheng Jianjun was a smooth talker, so he simply interrupted him, saying...

"Tell me, what's wrong? If I can help, I will. If I can't, don't force yourself."

Upon hearing Wang Yue's words, Cheng Jianjun immediately flattered him,

"Wang Yue, I won't beat around the bush with you, I just need a bicycle now that I'm going to work."

Are you selling your multi-speed bicycle? I've heard it's really energy-efficient and makes you look impressive when you ride it.

Wang Yue had to admit that Cheng Jianjun was incredibly well-informed. Just yesterday, when he came back from get off work, someone at the alley entrance said that the car looked sturdy and he was thinking of finding a chance to get a lighter one. Little did he know that Cheng Jianjun would take his words to heart.

Wang Yue didn't waste any time and immediately offered a high price, since he wasn't short of money anyway.

"Three hundred. If you want to buy it, take three hundred yuan. If you don't want to buy it, then forget it."

Cheng Jianjun was surprised that Wang Yue would ask for such an exorbitant price. However, this type of car had not yet been launched on the market, and it was said that the production line was not even ready yet. He couldn't buy it even if he tried to find someone else through connections.

There was nothing he could do. Although Cheng Jianjun felt he had been ripped off, he gritted his teeth and said...

"Alright, you can keep the car for me, I'll pay you tomorrow night!"

Wang Yue glanced at Cheng Jianjun with some surprise; he hadn't expected the kid to be so rich.

You should know that Wang Yue has lived in similar times and in different parts of the world. He knows that for an ordinary person, it would probably take a long time to save up 300 yuan. Yet Cheng Jianjun was so generous in wanting to buy it.
