This person was slightly taken aback, "Raising prices again? Then we might as well call in the manufacturers' people."

"Then go ahead and do it," Bentley replied with indifference, "Jian Lei came to Houjing just by chance..."

"Otherwise, if you want to ask him for an inspection, you wouldn't even find the door. The level he's on is beyond your reach."

To be honest, Bentley has a deeply ingrained sense of pride, and his speech naturally carries authority.

The person involved with the casino was seasoned and experienced, yet was momentarily overawed—he could discern whether the other party was truly confident.

So he straightforwardly stated, "This matter involves money, which is sensitive; I cannot make the decision alone, I must consult with the boss."

"Then go ahead," Bentley showed no intention of backing down.

Instead, he warned the other party, "The transition between winter and summer is the perfect time to inspect the systems, as the demand for heat exchange is at its lowest."

"Houjing is not just your place with the systems. If you hesitate and can't queue up in time, don't blame me for not warning you."

That evening, the person informed him that if the price had to increase, so be it, but asked if he could come the next day.

The person involved with the casino was familiar with the boss of the Gold Industry Center, having known him for years, so gathering information was easy.

On the following day, Qu Jianlei went to the casino for an inspection, witnessed by many gamblers.

The gamblers were similarly curious, wondering how a figure with a mask could be allowed to roam freely in such a high-class casino.

The casino waiters and dealers, having been instructed—should anyone ask—were to respond with the standard answer.

The standard answer was: To provide better service for everyone, we spent a lot of money to have someone check the ventilation system.

This time, Qu Jianlei detected four faults and six hidden dangers.

Because the other party was very enthusiastic, after understanding the equipment's operating patterns, he did more detailed calculations.

In the end, he provided an assessment on how much longer the components with hidden dangers could be used.

The assessed time wasn't very precise, and he couldn't guarantee precision.

He merely stated that if it were up to him, he would replace three components with hidden dangers immediately and reevaluate two of them in six months.

The remaining hidden component should be fine for another year.

After all, he was just pointing out issues and offering some advice; whether the other party listened was not his concern.

For this inspection, he received six hundred silver coins and, as usual, declined their invitation to a meal.

Business is business; if it were to become personal, he would question whether to charge for minor problems next time.

Houjing was destined to be just a stop in his long life, with no need to spend too much time and energy cultivating it.

His refusal genuinely displeased the casino people, who felt he was quite impolite.

Later, this news reached the casino boss.

The boss didn't understand the "Master Jian Lei" much, but knew the old man named "Terry" had some influence.

Six hundred silver coins were not a significant matter, but the equipment they used couldn't be guaranteed for a lifetime with just one inspection.

So he just gave a brief directive, "Keep an eye on the Gold Industry Center and see how it goes."

The Gold Industry Center had already informed the Taikoo manufacturer's repair personnel that they wanted to replace some parts.

Taikoo's response was sluggish, lacking any "customer first" mindset—this weather didn't pose a risk for a few days' downtime.

They just dismissively asked: Why do you assume... those parts are broken?

It took over ten days before someone arrived with parts, and their attitude was quite poor.

However, upon seeing the faulty parts Thomas had removed, the person said nothing and replaced them with new ones.

During the replacement process, the person remained somewhat incredulous, inquiring: How did you detect the faults?

Of course, we hired an expert! Thomas didn't intend to cover for Master Jian Lei, but didn't mention his name.

However, the manufacturer's repair personnel immediately grew serious: Exactly who did you hire?

Our equipment isn't something just anyone can meddle with.

Don't assume those from Taikoo are indifferent to the Gold Industry Center because they were the sole supplier and weren't worried about competition.

If someone intrudes on their business, the situation changes entirely.

It's the thought of "big customers bully stores, big stores bully customers": we can afford poor service, but you can't hire outsiders!

Thomas didn't believe he had caused trouble, but he also didn't answer the question, only stating it was arranged from above.

The manufacturer personnel refused to comply, inquiring further, and directly approached Shana: How could you let outsiders touch our stuff?

Shana, ultimately as a manager, wasn't indulging the other side's misbehavior: You were too busy, so I hired outsiders.

Don't flaunt yourself as coming from above; considering the scale of our Gold Industry, do you think there's no one above us?

(First update, Master He Meng "Purple Flame Blue Sky")——————

The repair personnel from Taikoo eventually didn't persist further.

The people from Central City overlook the seven districts below, but that doesn't mean any ordinary person can act recklessly in these districts.

The repair personnel took five days to handle all the faults and most of the hidden dangers.

Afterward, he felt not only puzzled but also somewhat apprehensive.

This expert from afar was indeed too formidable, not only detecting so many faults but also identifying so many hidden dangers?

Somewhat discontent, he discussed with Thomas: I want to conduct a check for you as well.
