Third, the patent protection certificates for all the tools.

With trembling hands he took the three items and examined them for a long time, then carefully went through the Lane’s recent account books.

Having fallen from heaven to hell and then back to heaven, Zhang Da, who was over fifty years old, couldn’t hold back his emotions and burst into tears.

Seeing him like this, his wife, Ju Yunxiang, also began to cry.

Only after Zhang Bowen had offered words of comfort, seemingly at a loss for what to say, did Zhang Da wipe away his tears and say joyfully:

“Bowen, are you saying that all of these things were taught to you by that Teacher Su Youzong?”

“Yes. Teacher Su is knowledgeable in everything from astronomy to geography. Not only did he teach me how to make these tools, he also personally guided me in running the store.”

Zhang Bowen would become excited at once whenever Su Mo was mentioned.

It was the same when he spoke to his parents.

“Dad, don’t underestimate my teacher just because he came from a small town. I dare say that with his talents, even the researchers at the Academy of Sciences can’t compare!”

“Really?” Ju Yunxiang cut in, her face equally astonished.

Unlike Zhang Da, who had been bedridden for a long time, she had met Su Mo.

When Zhang Bowen first began his lessons, Ju Yunxiang had gone over personally to give him a lot of instructions.

However, at that time Ju Yunxiang had been in a state of confusion and had not looked closely at Su Mo. She had only felt that his temperament seemed slightly different from ordinary people’s, and nothing more.

Hearing Zhang Bowen praise him like this, she was completely dumbfounded.

“Mom, if you don’t believe me, you should at least believe in this stone sickle, right? And this contract, these patent certificates, they can’t be faked, can they?”

“You can doubt me, but if you doubt Teacher Su and he gets upset and wants to leave, we’ll suffer a huge loss!”

With a slam of his hand on the table, Zhang Bowen, who had been manager for a week, was gradually shedding his childishness. Now, with his imposing manner, he really did resemble Zhang Da in his youth.

“My son, it’s not that I don’t believe you, it’s really true...” Ju Yunxiang stammered out a few words.

Zhang Da, who had seen a lot in his life, was the first to react: “Bowen, it’s not that your mother and I don’t believe it, but this Su Youzong, Teacher Su, it was only that your sister and I discussed it back then, for the sake of...”

Halfway through the sentence, Zhang Da suddenly realized something was wrong.

Back then, although the shop had hired an electrician at first, it wasn’t to develop tools, but to find someone to take the blame in place of the pot that had burned down the wheat field.

Now the tools had been made, and this “monster” had been brought in along with them.

If the truth were told to Zhang Bowen, and he accidentally let it slip to Su Youzong...

A sudden realization struck Zhang Da, and he instantly understood the consequences.

He quickly stopped talking, his face serious. “Yes, we were planning to find a teacher for you, not to actually have him make the tools, weren’t we?”

“Who would have thought that Teacher Su Youzong would be so amazing? It’s truly astonishing!”

“Tell Dad what Teacher Su has been teaching you lately.”

Old ginger is spicier.

Having spent three or four decades in civilized times and nearly ten years struggling in the wasteland, Zhang Da was a man who had already seen everything.

At this moment, Zhang Bowen was completely unaware that the subject had been changed. He began happily talking about the little tricks Su Mo had revealed from time to time during his lectures recently, and the effects they had produced.

As the saying goes, a true expert’s skill is apparent at once.

At first, Zhang Da looked somewhat disdainful, thinking that he had been in the business world for decades and was far superior to a mere technician.

But the more he listened, the more engrossed he became, and he would often exclaim “Good!”

“That’s brilliant! That’s brilliant! Teacher Su is truly a remarkable person!”

“If I had met him years ago, I would even have thought of hiring him to be the manager of our shop!” Zhang Da was still somewhat unsatisfied even after Zhang Bowen finished speaking in one breath.

Although he was familiar with most of these techniques and could use them himself,

when he tried to tell others, when he tried to teach them step by step, the results he achieved were worlds apart from those Su Mo achieved.

This could be clearly seen in Zhang Bowen.

However, Zhang Da’s seemingly wistful words startled his wife, Ju Yunxiang, who had been sitting beside him listening with satisfaction.

“Dear, is this Teacher Su really that amazing?”

“Really impressive,” Zhang Da and Zhang Bowen answered truthfully, one after the other.

“What if he goes to other shops after finishing this job? He’s the electrician from the Liberty Market!”

Wow!

It is often said that men and women always see things from different perspectives.

While Zhang Da and Zhang Bowen were still marveling at Su Mo’s prowess, Ju Yunxiang clearly sensed a hint of crisis.

The temple is too small to hold a great Buddha.

If Su Mo were truly that powerful, how could humble Zizai Liang Lane possibly be his final resting place?

She was afraid.

“No, Bowen, tomorrow...”

“No, you must keep a close eye on Teacher Su at the Summer Harvest warm-up meeting the day after tomorrow. Don’t let him come into contact with those heartless bastards from Qiankun Grain Store. You don’t have that kind of thick skin. Yunxiang, you have to push me. I want to go! I absolutely have to go!”

Zhang Da slapped the headboard, so anxious that he almost wanted to get out of bed.

“As long as Teacher Su doesn’t leave after the Summer Harvest, we’ll do anything to keep him here, even if it means making him the shopkeeper or giving him shares!”

“Besides, Bowen will have to go back to school by then. As for Su Youzong, isn’t Teacher Su still single? He’d be a good match for Min’er. As long as he’s willing to join our Zhang Clan, we can give him all the management rights!”
