Chapter 243 - 242 The Guy Has Another Profession
The clerk spoke, and then turned his gaze toward Wong Qiao’s direction, wondering if the other young person working was also as capable as this woman.
Ye Xinyan took in their expressions. If she was going to do a good deed, she might as well do it thoroughly, since she had already looked over a part of their work; a little more wouldn’t hurt. Moreover, since everyone was in the same boat, having someone from the court’s Ministry of Works, who had specialized in engineering, working with them would make the railway transport plan more likely to succeed. It would also be a way to support Jinrong’s rise to power.
Ye Xinyan said, "If the two of you are interested, you can take a look at the work at Wong Qiao’s place. His work is more specific, involving construction techniques and data, which I, as a little woman, cannot handle."
The two clerks looked at Jinrong, and seeing him nod, they hurriedly turned and went over to the desk where Wong Qiao was working.
Wong Qiao had also been rushing his work these past few days. With Ye Xinyan working swiftly, he didn’t dare to relax, focusing all his time on the technical support for the railway transport and the explanation and drawing of diagrams for custom materials. So, he only went over to pay his respects when Jinrong took his seat and then continued with his work.
At that moment, seeing the entourage of Sixth Master coming over, he simply cupped his hands in a greeting and smiled, then continued to bow his head and work. Even when cupping his hands, he did not put down the writing brush in his hand.
Seeing this scene, the two felt very familiar with it—it was just like being among their own people. They approached quietly and watched Wong Qiao draw his diagrams, which clearly related to the auxiliary images for the railway transport.
One of them, unable to resist, pointed at the place where Wong Qiao was drawing and said, "Wouldn’t it be better to use a groove gauge for this? Whenever we draw this, we use a groove gauge."
