Chapter 57: Zheng Juan: Am I showing off my skills before an expert?

Zheng Juan pressed her left atrium with one hand, as if worried it would jump out.

Then.

She lightly exhaled a breath and said:

"Well, my master is very skilled."

"She raised several kids and still became a Level 5 Welder, and she's only in her thirties."

"She's the idol I admire."

Upon mentioning her master Liang Ladi, Zheng Juan's chatterbox opened.

Lin Shengli smiled and said: "That's amazing!"

"Can you introduce me to her tomorrow?"

"I want to become her apprentice and learn welding from her."

Zheng Juan: "Sure, let me tell you, my master is really a good person, very kind and loving."

"As long as you're sincere and really want to learn a skill, she'll definitely teach you."

"Actually, I can also teach you some basics right now."

"Although I'm still an apprentice worker, hehe, I can still handle teaching someone like you who's a novice."

"At least I can still teach you the basics."

She was also being modest.

Although she's only in her second year as an apprentice worker, Liang Ladi says she can already compare to a Level 2 Worker.

Lin Shengli: "Great, then please teach me first."

Zheng Juan: "No problem."

"This way, I'll first explain some theoretical knowledge to you."

"When it's convenient, I'll teach you the practical operation."

"But I can only teach you the basics."

Lin Shengli: "No problem, I'll learn whatever you know first, and then becoming your master's apprentice won't be too late."

Zheng Juan joked: "Then would I be your master or your senior sister?"

Lin Shengli: "Then do you want to be my master or your senior sister?"

Zheng Juan thought seriously for a moment and said: "I'd rather be your senior sister."

"If you call me master, people might think I'm much older."

After saying that, she affectedly cleared her throat, then continued gently:

"Junior Brother, Senior Sister will now stand in for the master and first teach you some basic knowledge."

"Welding mainly consists of electric welding and gas welding."

"They have essential differences."

"Electric welding uses a dedicated welding machine to generate high current, producing high temperature that melts the welding rod and the workpiece, fusing them together."

【Ding, the host listened attentively, welding skill +50.】

The system's announcement made Lin Shengli feel a bit surprised.

Because he already knew that knowledge.

"Shengli Ge, you should understand what I'm saying, right?"

"Yeah, I understand, go on."

"Alright, gas welding, on the other hand, uses the combustion of oxygen and acetylene to melt the weld joint, achieving welding."

"The basic principle of electric welding is to use the common 220V voltage or 380V industrial electricity, pass it through the welding machine's voltage reducer to lower voltage and increase current, thereby generating enormous arc heat from the electrical energy that melts the welding rod and steel."

"While the basic principle of gas welding is......"

"......"

In just about ten minutes, Zheng Juan covered the differences between electric and gas welding, their basic working principles, and so on—some of the essential points for learning welding basics.

Lin Shengli also couldn't help but nod slightly.

This little girl's theoretical knowledge is really solid.

It seems she's been studying very hard.

He is actually a Level 8 Welder now.

He naturally knows whether what Zheng Juan said is correct or not.

By the time they reached the repair shop's entrance, he had already increased his welding skill by several hundred points.

Just as Zheng Juan got out of the car, she suddenly slapped her forehead, gave a shy smile, and said:

"Ah, no, you're an engineer, so welding must be really impressive, right?"

Lin Shengli laughed: "Not impressive, not impressive."

"But to be honest, I do know a little bit of welding."

"To become an engineer, you need to know a little about each trade."

Zheng Juan: "Ah? Then wouldn't I be showing off my skills before an expert?"

Lin Shengli: "No."

"Just because I know a little doesn't mean I understand all the theory you mentioned."

"Juan'er, Senior Sister, you explained very well."

"Next time you're free, could you give me another lesson?"

Zheng Juan nodded: "As long as you want to learn, I'll teach you."

"But hehe, I feel like you're just teasing me."

You welders must be very good.

I always feel like I'm showing off my skills before an expert.

Lin Shengli: "Really not."

Just then, Liang Ladi walked out of the factory.

As it turned out, she had just been in the guardroom, seeing Zheng Juan chatting and laughing with a handsome guy; out of concern, she came out to check.

"Good morning, Master." Seeing Liang Ladi, Zheng Juan affectionately walked up and put her arm around her.

"Mm, good morning." Liang Ladi glanced at Lin Shengli and asked, "Who is this?"

Zheng Juan: "Master, he's the nephew of our courtyard's Eldest Uncle, named Lin Shengli."

Then she introduced Liang Ladi to Lin Shengli.

"Hello, Master Liang, I never expected Zheng Juan's master to be so young."

"Before, Zheng Juan said she had a master, and I was thinking about that at the time."

"Zheng Juan's master? He should be somewhat older, at least forty or fifty; I really didn't expect him to be so young."

"Moreover, she's very pretty; walking together with Zheng Juan on the street, they're a pair of sisters with a 99.999% head-turning rate."

In his previous life, Lin Shengli had watched the TV series "People Are Iron, Food Is Steel", and he naturally knew the female lead, Liang Ladi, quite well.

She's even prettier than what you see on TV.

He just wanted to compliment Liang Ladi, and by the way compliment Zheng Juan as well.

Women all like to hear others say they're pretty, especially men, especially extremely handsome men.

Hearing his words, both Liang Ladi and Zheng Juan felt quite pleased.

Liang Ladi's first impression of Lin Shengli was very good.

Perhaps because Lin Shengli is too handsome, and also because when he said these things he was neither humble nor arrogant, and his eyes didn't wander.

If you replaced him with an ugly person, or someone who looks anxious, like Shazhu.

Then Liang Ladi might think he's just smooth-talking with ulterior motives.

So.

Being handsome has its advantages.

Don't say handsomeness can't put food on the table; inner qualities are what matter most.

People who say such things are just deceiving themselves.

Liang Ladi's lips twitched slightly as she said, "Thank you for the praise."

"As expected of a college student, you speak so smoothly."

"I also really like listening to it."

Zheng Juan: "Master, do you know him too?"

Liang Ladi: "Of course I know him."

"As the Eldest Uncle's nephew, I've long heard of his great reputation."

"Everyone in our courtyard is praising him."

"They say he's a college student, a leader, and very just."

"Being able to beat the Jia Zhangshi family shows he has a sense of justice."

"Being able to beat the Jia Zhangshi family makes him my friend, Liang Ladi."

Lin Shengli: "Sorry to have made you laugh!"

Liang Ladi: "No, not at all."

"This is what I really think; the Jia Zhangshi family are nothing good."

"I'm not one to badmouth people behind their backs."

"Even to their faces, I dare to say it."

"Shengli, thank you again; last night I heard from my son that Elder Uncle Guan gave him watermelon to eat."
