The cable is faulty internally? Qu Jianlei grew increasingly angry, "Don’t you know that for this kind of fault, you have to use a specialized cable detection instrument?"
"You actually know about specialized cable detection instruments?" Franco looked at him with an increasingly peculiar expression.
Then he spread his hands, "Sorry, not only is that instrument expensive, but even Taikoo doesn’t have it... It’s even difficult for them to rent it once."
It’s not a matter of expense, he was emphasizing the difficulty first and foremost.
"Then there’s nothing I can do," Qu Jianlei shook his head, "Without the instrument, I’m helpless too."
If we had the instrument, would we need to call you? Franco smiled bitterly, "But everyone says you’re great at detection."
"No matter how great I am at detection, I have to follow the principles," Qu Jianlei shook his head, "I can’t do this job!"
Then he turned to Bentley, "Uh... refund the travel expenses, let’s go."
"No, wait," Franco got anxious upon hearing this, "Refunding the travel expenses... what does that make us?"
Qu Jianlei looked at him suspiciously, thinking, are there really such rule-abiding people in the Wasteland?
Then he realized, in other matters, people from Houjing may not be reasonable, but in this matter, they definitely will be!
The reason is simple, this is a face-saving project, people from Houjing absolutely don’t want to be laughed at by Taikoo or the other three capitals.
Understanding this, Qu Jianlei decisively stated, "The travel expenses must be refunded, that’s my rule!"
"If you don’t refund them, don’t expect me to help you with any detection in the future."
"And another thing, I hope next time you invite me, you first figure out if your request is reasonable!"
He was genuinely a bit resentful, it’s clearly about the cable detection instrument, and you want me to detect it manually?
If there’s a slight mistake in work, that’s fine, but don’t be so ridiculous, okay? "My time is valuable, don’t waste it!"
Seeing him angry, Bentley took out two Silver Notes and stuffed them into Franco’s hands, then turned to start up that odd three-wheeler.
They left, leaving Franco standing there, stunned. It took him a while to shake his head with a wry smile, "What a mess this turned out to be."
This was the first time Qu Jianlei hadn’t completed a detection task.
Interestingly, his reputation not only didn’t suffer, but even gained more attention from industry insiders. Content orıginally comes from 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒•𝙣𝙚𝙩
Because he didn’t complete the detection and took the initiative to refund the travel expenses, and even scolded Franco.
You must know, Franco is an official authority in engineering matters in Houjing!
And Franco himself admitted, Master Jian Lei has a bit of a temper, but his insights are truly impressive!
This indirectly vouched for Qu Jianlei, there are really very few Maintenance Masters who can earn Franco’s high regard.
Three days after the incident, someone actively approached Bentley, hoping to invite Master Jian Lei for a detection.
This time, the detection was to determine if there were any risks with the foundation of a construction site.
Bentley thought if he introduced this job back, he might get mocked by Qu Jianlei again.
So he said, "Master Jian Lei might not take the job, why don’t I go along with you and have a look."
"As long as Master Jian Lei goes, the travel expenses are five hundred!" the other party directly quoted, "Definitely no request for a refund."
"Do you need to demand that?" Bentley replied irritably, "At Franco’s place, we refunded it voluntarily as well!"
The other party lowered their voice to explain, "We’ve already had multiple checks done, the foundation definitely has no problems..."
"Now bringing in Master Jian Lei is just to enhance credibility."
Bentley is ninety years old, having wandered for most of his life, what hasn’t he seen?
He realized instantly what the other party wanted and asked, "Just one visit?"
"That’s right, just one visit," the other party also knew he understood, "Just make an appearance, no need for him to sign any proof!"
