“What did your stupid childhood friend say to make you so angry?”

Li Zhenhua asked from the side, but the expression on his face was especially obvious.

Guo Shugui was already used to the behavior of the two people in front of him.

Now, he already knew that these two people were like-minded bitches. However, it was also this way of getting along that let him know what a bad friend was.

“Actually, it’s nothing much. His family is called Da Gen Real Estate. They’re one of the top existences in the industry.

Especially with the invasion into the north, and the frequent clashes with our Green, which were, of course, commercial.

‘That idiot. I heard before that he owed money in Japan and he didn’t dare tell his father yet.’

This time, he opened a company that sold reinforced steel building materials in China.

Because he was the Crown Prince of the Da Gen, his steel bars quickly entered the Da Gen. Moreover, his father didn’t know that he was selling steel bars.

His steel bars were not only expensive, but the quality was also bad. He could not reach the standard number.

There are already many construction sites in the Da Gen City that use this steel bar. If you two don’t think this is earning black-hearted money, what do you think it is?”

When Li Zhenhua heard this, he was rarely angry. What he hated the most in his life was people who cut corners and earned black-hearted money.

Therefore, after he heard it, he was already extremely indignant.

Guo Shugui continued.

“This idiot. I don’t know where he got the information that I was in charge of a project, but he called and said he wanted to make money with me.

I knew that he would definitely disagree after that, so we started arguing.

He knows that since we last met, both of us have flaunted that knife of his,

I’ve been looking for a knife master who will participate in the forging competition to forge a knife, so he said that he wanted to compete with me after I had a knife and whose was better.”

At this point, Guo Shugui finally explained the whole story.

Liu Xiaodong said to Guo Shugui as if he had never thought about it.

“Guoba, you made it. Look to the side, do you see it?

“As long as you suck up to the future international champion of the forging competition, wouldn’t it be easy to get you a knife?”

When Li Zhenhua heard Liu Xiaodong’s bragging, he stood up.

The long bench was also like a seesaw. As Li Zhenhua stood up, Liu Xiaodong’s head pressed down.

Liu Xiaodong raised one end of the stool and smashed into the ground.

“Oh, shit. Get up. You didn’t tell me in advance.”

Li Zhenhua ignored his complaints and took a few steps closer to Guo Shugui, standing in front of him.

“Guoba, you don’t have to earn this black-hearted money as long as I have results in the forging competition later.

I’ll definitely give you a knife immediately and use my highest level to do it.”

Guo Shugui’s bad mood improved after receiving Li Zhenhua’s guarantee.

There was just one thing he didn’t understand. He didn’t know why Li Zhenhua had acted so resentful when he mentioned cutting corners.

It seemed that he had to find a chance to ask Liu Xiaodong about this later.

After Li Zhenhua heard about Guo Shugui, another half an hour passed.

“We have to go. There’s so much to do later.

I want to buy materials,

Guoba still has to go home. Speaking of which, did he bring his camera equipment with him on a business trip?”

Li Zhenhua talked about what he was going to do later and also mentioned something to Guo Shugui that he had been puzzled about before.

As soon as he said that, Guo Shugui slapped his forehead.

‘Slap’

“Damn, I forgot about this. My equipment is all in Beiping.

I didn’t bring it with me this time. What should I do?

Let me think about it!”

Li Zhenhua looked at Guo Shugui’s reaction and sighed in his heart. It was really difficult to do something!

He did not know when he would encounter something strange.

“Come on. We’re on our way. We’ll think as we go. Thinking here will only delay things.”

With that, Li Zhenhua led the way out.

Guo Shugui thought about it and agreed. He walked to Liu Xiaodong’s side and used all his strength to pull the fatty up from the ground.

The two of them followed him out the door. As for the little monkey that was parked on the first floor, they left it there.

Li Zhenhua drove towards Ji Gang’s sales point in their county city.

On this side, Li Zhenhua only chose two specifications: 410 and 420.

As for why choose either,

It was because the 410 stainless steel was very strong, but it could not be used in a strong corrosive environment.

This steel was also commonly used to make cutlery.

420 stainless steel has a certain degree of corrosion resistance. This index is stronger than 410.

The two types of stainless steel were different in their corrosion resistance. When the time came, they would be folded together. When the acid washed, the patterns would be more obvious.

Moreover, 420 stainless steel was relatively hard. This was also a material suitable for making knives.

These two types of steel cost 70 kilograms each. In terms of weight, it felt like a lot.

But in terms of size, it really didn’t take up much space.

In total, the two materials were only 140 kilograms.

In order to make it easier for him to forge, Li Zhenhua chose steel bars that were five centimeters wide, 80 centimeters long, and four millimeters thick.

Li Zhenhua and the fat and thin duo worked together to load all the steel bars into the truck.

On the way here, Guo Shugui wailed in the passenger seat all the way, talking about his equipment.

But if he really had to go back to Beiping to get it, he really didn’t want to go back. After howling all the way, he couldn’t think of any good ideas.

It was only when he started moving things with Li Zhenhua that he stopped.

The three of them finished buying the steel. Their plan to come to the county was halfway done.

Then, Li Zhenhua drove towards the hardware store and bought everything he needed on Industrial Street.

Whether it was the cutting piece or the sand belt, they were all prepared.

Li Zhenhua looked helplessly at Guo Shugui, who had once again replied to the recorder.

Li Zhenhua decided to ignore him for now. Anyway, there was still time before work officially started.

Without asking for the opinions of the other two, Li Zhenhua started the car and rushed back.

“You sing the most dazzling national song…”

As they drove past the county square, the sound of old men and women dancing could be heard from the square.

Guo Shugui was also disturbed by the music. He was already frustrated to begin with, and after listening to this annoying music, his mood became even worse.

Coincidentally, there was a traffic jam in front of them. Li Zhenhua could only drive slowly past the side of the square.

The more people couldn’t solve something at that time, the more they wanted to solve it.

Just as Guo Shugui was about to explode, someone walked past him on the sidewalk. The person was talking loudly.

The road ahead was cleared just as Li Zhenhua was about to drive away.

Guo Shugui bounced up from the passenger seat. It should not be said that he only bounced halfway before the seat belt secured him to the seat.
