Chapter 1636 - 1635: Kao Shan Road
"How about I go ask Grandpa or my brother if there's a way to quickly become a master in business? If they have one, I'll learn it immediately, and once I've mastered it, I'll go to Tang Rao and have him arrange a job for me."At this point, it's a bit late for a last-minute attempt.
In this world, whatever you do requires a solid, step-by-step approach, unlike Zhang Kexin, who thinks of what she needs and learns a bit here and there, always trying to find shortcuts independently.
"Foolish girl, what should I say to you? How about this, the other day I heard Jin Jin is planning to open a medical clinic, but right now she's the only one there. If you really can't think of what to do, how about I speak to Tang Rao and Jin Jin, and have you work there as a helper?"
Working at the clinic is already better than doing jobs elsewhere.
If Zhang Kexin went to the clinic, she'd only need to interact with patients daily, ensuring they see the doctor in order, and there wouldn't be much else to do.
I was thinking that Zhang Kexin could help with preparing medicine, but unfortunately, this task is particularly important. A single oversight could result in the wrong medicine being given to someone else, and one of Zhang Kexin's 'careless mistakes' might cost someone's life.
Just thinking about the consequences, Bei Lin is scared, so he didn't go into detail about the job responsibilities to Zhang Kexin.
"You mean, you want me to go to the clinic? To help receive the injured?"
Zhang Kexin just asked a question without being uncomfortable for Bei Lin.
"Why, don't you want to?"
Bei Lin was just suggesting to Zhang Kexin, and hadn't yet spoken to Wen Jinjin about it.
"I'd love to, of course. I've always admired Sister Jin Jin's medical skills. If I can learn by her side for a while, I might become a divine doctor and make Tang Rao proud."
Zhang Kexin hasn't even started receiving patients yet, and the clinic is still being set up. For now, there's no certainty yet, but she already imagines herself becoming a doctor one day.
"I'll try it first. To be upfront, if Jin Jin isn't willing, don't blame me."
Zhang Kexin understands Bei Lin's meaning and nods sensibly, with a somewhat ingratiating look.
...
During the construction of Zijing City, those workers were generously recruited by Tang Rao and brought to Kao Shan Road.
These people, numbering not less than seventy or eighty, are skilled, quick, and efficient. After Tang Rao handed them the blueprints, they quickly coordinated and began building the new street.
This is already the seventh day of construction, and the previously chaotic street finally starts to show some improvement.
For seven consecutive days, Tang Rao hasn't returned to Zijing City and hasn't had time to check on the affairs of the Kao Shan Sect.
The construction site needs him.
Haven't eaten pork, but seen pigs run?
Tang Rao didn't design these blueprints himself. At least he knows that with these blueprints, he can build a certain kind of street. Due to this, he diligently oversees the construction, fearing that some detail might go wrong.
"Tang Family Master, this street is the smoothest one I've built so far. The buildings on the blueprint look amazing, just like when we built Zijing City last time. Every time I take on your projects, I get inspired and learn so much."
Tang Rao feels embarrassed.
If these blueprints were truly his design, it would be easier. At least when someone praised him, he wouldn't blush. But these blueprints were given by Yan Wei for use in the Divine Realm, and he already feels bad about it, so he can't take all the credit.
"Elder Tu, what are you saying? These designs were gifted to me by an old friend, I don't have such talent; it's embarrassing, really."
Elder Tu instinctively searches Tang Rao's face for signs of falsehood, but despite looking for a while, all he sees is sincerity, no other emotion.
"I wonder if I, an old fool, will ever get the chance to meet Tang Family Master's friend. Honestly, we've all seen Tang Family Master's intelligence and talent. If Tang Family Master has such outstanding friends, I'd dream of meeting them to discuss house construction."
Well, that's a bit tricky.
Tang Rao didn't make any promises.
Even he doesn't know who the designer is, and rashly agreeing to introduce them would be shooting himself in the foot.
"Tang Family Master, I'm sorry for putting you in a difficult position."
Elder Tu doesn't push further. Seeing Tang Rao's unhappy expression, he immediately retracts his previous words and doesn't mention it again.
"If there's an opportunity in the future, I'll certainly bring them to meet you. However, now is not the time."
Elder Tu doesn't understand what Tang Rao means by 'not the time', but since Tang Rao breaks the silence and gives Elder Tu some hope, it's already a difficult achievement for him.
"Thank you, Tang Family Master, thank you."
If Elder Tu weren't considerably older than Tang Rao, he would want to kneel and bow to thank him.
In every profession, there are one or more madmen who, when researching within their field, seem obsessed. As research deepens, sometimes they won't eat or drink for small matters until these issues are thoroughly understood before regaining rationality.
Just like when Tang Rao researched Taotie Bloodline at one time, he was nearly obsessed?
"You're welcome. As long as you help me build and create this street well, I'll then give you some uniquely styled construction designs for you to research and create, how does that sound?"
A plan worthy of study by a master architect?
Tang Rao thought of many ancient architectural designs from Yan Nation, and after racking his brains, finally came up with one.
"Rest assured, as long as it's a task assigned by Tang Family Master to us, we'll do it with quality and ensure completion. It's not just your reputation but also our dignity as builders. Everyone knows this street belongs to Tang Family Master, and we're the ones constructing it. If there's even a minor flaw in it, we won't get any more work, and our reputation is ruined."
Elder Tu sees the long-term perspective, and his words are also reasonable.
In any profession, before making a name for themselves, people certainly value profit, but once they have a reputation, they place more importance on dignity and face. In the eyes of these successful people, dignity and face are even more important than money.
Elder Tu temporarily gathered people for a short meeting. During this time, Tang Rao didn't attend, instead leisurely wandering around. Upon returning, he found the workers' attitude had transformed remarkably.
