Chapter 1306: Chapter 578: Some Parts Must Be Kept Clean

"The daily premium is only 998. Take home today’s safety for just purchasing our Peaceful People and Animal Performance. If anything happens to you today, Brother Liu, you’ll get a maximum of a thousand yuan compensation. Doesn’t that make you feel tempted?"

Lin Li was still sincerely inquiring.

"Tempted my foot! What kind of insurance talks about daily premiums!! And the premium is 998, but the maximum compensation is just a thousand yuan! My earnings add up to a maximum of two yuan! Do I still have to pay taxes? Will I even get a thousand?"

"Uh, Brother Liu, rest assured, according to our country’s laws, individual insurance compensation is tax-free, so this thousand yuan compensation is indeed the amount your family will receive."

"Suddenly so strict in this area! Wait! Why did it become compensation money for my family? So, to get this maximum thousand, it has to be an accident serious enough that I die, right? Do I have to die to earn your two yuan!"

"Not necessarily. If the insured does die, we would need to investigate because we worry about fraudsters. Aren’t there a lot of stories in the news and novels about people killing their wives or husbands for insurance money? We have to be cautious."

"So ’not necessarily’ doesn’t mean you can get it without dying but means even if you die, you might not get it! Damn! Who would kill for a net income of up to two yuan? If that’s the case, the premium doesn’t matter anymore. They’d probably do it without insurance too—"

Lin Li suddenly calmly said, "I would."

Liu Men was caught off guard, then also regained composure with difficulty, "Alright."

"So, will you buy it?"

"No."

"Come on, buy it."

"No."

"..."

The dropout boy nearby: "?"

Why so suddenly excited and then calm, unfolding in an unpredictable way???

Requesting translation from the localization team.

"Alright, stop with the jokes, what did Sister Li tell you to find me for?"

Seeing Lin Li still wanting to persuade him to buy his human-animal show, Liu Men, a bit dry from complaining, took a sip of water, gestured with his chin, and asked.

"Oh, it’s that Brother Liu, I’m considered sort of half-employed now, but Sister Li needs to see if the granularity of my work aligns to empower our factory, so I need to temporarily assist you—and I’m not a complete novice, I have a certain understanding of tools and vehicle construction..."

Lin Li explained what he discussed with Sister Li and the preliminary results reached.

"I see, alright." Liu Men listened to Lin Li’s explanation, glanced at his unfinished car, and gestured with his chin, "Perfect timing, my car isn’t fixed yet, there’s a noise from the chassis, likely a loose exhaust hanger or aging suspension bush, come and lend a hand, crawling in and out is a hassle."

"No problem, Brother Liu."

Lin Li nodded, walked over.

Putting away the playful mindset, he focused intently on assisting.

"Lin Li, give me the socket wrench, 13mm."

"13mm socket for the ratchet wrench, right? Here, take it." Lin Li quickly confirmed and accurately handed it over.

"Hex key, 5mm."

"5mm hex wrench, here."

"Tsk, the screw’s a bit rusted, need to spray some rust remover, Lin Li—"

"WD-40? The one with the extension straw?"

Like a student eager to answer, seeking to prove himself, Lin Li promptly retrieved the needed item from the toolbox before the other finished speaking and handed it over.

"Yes, that’s it."

"Do you also need a carburetor cleaner?"

"Sure, bring it over."

"Okay, but this bottle seems almost empty; is there more in stock?"

"There is, but use up this bottle first, I’ll tell you where to get more if needed later."

"Alright."

Lin Li’s performance indeed surprised Liu Men quite a bit.

Because the whole process was smooth and efficient, hardly needing any repeated instructions, Lin Li’s terminology was even more precise than his own, and he seemed quite familiar with the process, anticipating what was needed next.

And with absolutely no revulsion or fussiness, the oil and grime on tools didn’t bother him at all.

Not just compared to an inexperienced apprentice, he was nearly at the level of a skilled worker.

From the perspective of a part-timer, Liu Men thoroughly approved.

Even feeling that if they encountered relatively simple car issues, Lin Li might handle them solo.

From the office door in the corner, as it barely takes a few minutes for an interview, the dropout boy and another guy finished their interviews soon after.

Because they were also told to wait for the result, they left directly, greeting Lin Li on the way out.

Seeing the adept Lin Li, they felt a bit relieved that this kid wasn’t there to be an apprentice; otherwise, there would definitely be one less spot available.

Meanwhile, Ms. Li came out of the office shortly after.

Seeing Lin Li and Liu Men busy, she stood quietly by, observing.

Noticing Lin Li completely engaged in his work, stable and reliable, the image in her mind of a reckless youth was entirely different.

Like Liu Men, after watching for a while, she felt quite satisfied.

Ms. Li showed a satisfied look, nodding slightly, just about to commend how well he was doing—

At that moment, under the car, Liu Men, needing something while fixated on repairs, naturally stretched his hand out and called, "Lin Li, pass me the cleaner."

Squatting beside sorting tools, Lin Li’s hand movements paused upon hearing.
