Wasteland Border Inspector - Chapter 857

Chapter 857: Chapter 280: Deluxe Service, Liu Bi’s Surprise!

“My name is Hou Genbao, you can just call me Monkey or Little Monkey,” Hou Genbao promptly replied.

“Monkey…” Liu Bi nodded slightly, getting straight to the point, “Why haven’t I seen Inspector Cheng?”

“Oh, there’s a tower crane that needs to be delivered today, so Inspector Cheng sent people to Wenlu County early in the morning to coordinate manpower and transportation. He’s expected to return in the evening,” Hou Genbao quickly responded.

“Wenlu County?” Liu Bi furrowed his brow slightly, then had an epiphany, pointing to the construction vehicles in the distance, “Those construction vehicles outside, they’re all from Wenlu County?”

“That’s right!” Hou Genbao nodded immediately, “Inspector Cheng has coordinated with Wenlu County. Their construction is temporarily paused, focusing only on finishing buildings with ready foundations, so the idle construction vehicles are all temporarily assigned to us in Dapo Town. Once Wenlu County resumes construction, the vehicles will be sent back.”

Such good fortune?

Liu Bi’s tightly knit brow relaxed instantly, never expecting that the development halt of Wenlu County would deliver such a gift to Dapo Town.

Coordinating a tower crane?

This kid really has quite the appetite!

Liu Bi was secretly amazed, knowing that tower cranes are currently rushed out by the industrial zone and are extremely scarce. If Dapo Town could get one, the construction speed could definitely be significantly boosted, possibly even catching up with the early-developing satellite cities.

“Not bad!” Liu Bi praised, then changed the topic, “Can you get a couple of people to show us around the town?”

“Uh…” Hou Genbao hesitated for a moment. Compared to other drivers, these two really didn’t act like outsiders, making such requests so naturally.

But he didn’t dare refuse, only tentatively asking, “How should I address you?”

Niu Fu immediately said, “This is Inspector Liu.”

Inspector?

Hou Genbao suddenly realized, quickly nodding, “Inspector Liu, this way, please. I’ll take you around the town.”

“Are we disturbing your work?”

“How could it disturb us? My duty is to entertain esteemed guests like you. Making sure you’re satisfied is my most important job. By the way, should I send someone to notify Inspector Cheng?” Hou Genbao quickly bent slightly, flashing a friendly yet not at all obsequious smile.

“No need, we’ll wait for him to return in the evening,” Liu Bi waved it off, suddenly unable to suppress a laugh.

Who knew he’d been worrying all day at the industrial zone, not realizing this kid had such means.

Not only does he keep the town’s planning in perfect order, but he also has resourceful people like this under him.

The skill Hou Genbao displayed, at the very least, improved the first impression of Dapo Town by a few notches.

Liu Bi unconsciously put himself in the role of a contracted inspector, thinking that under his command, he couldn’t find talents like Hou Genbao, only honest folks.

Moreover, in terms of town planning, he probably couldn’t achieve the current level of perfection either.

This kid, after just three months, has delivered such a surprise?

Rubbing his chin, Liu Bi wasn’t particularly surprised. After all, during martial arts training before, he already noticed Cheng Ye’s tenacity and cleverness, just that he hadn’t been given a stage to showcase it.

Now, Dapo Town is the perfect stage for him to unleash his capabilities.

However, now, the only way he could overshadow this kid was through his own old expertise.

At least in combat, he believed that in just three months, Cheng Ye was definitely no match for him.

Then again, being able to land a hit on himself would mean this kid is progressing rapidly.

“Hey, who’d have thought that following Brother Long, all I do is fight and lead; following Cheng Ye, it’s still fighting and leading?”

Liu Bi thought to himself, feeling a bit more eager for the evening meeting!
