Chapter 271: Is the fishing rod produced by the collaboration between the heretical sect elder and the rising star a legitimate fishing rod?

Baishui City, Li Family Toy Factory, new office area.

With that energetic shout, the office door was pushed open.

A large, comical figure, with a head as round as a fathead fish, squeezed in with difficulty.

It was none other than the current manager of Li Family Toy Factory, Wang Dachui.

"Factory Director, I'm here, I'm here."

"What's up? Are we doing another live stream to sell goods? Or is there some new project to work on?"

As soon as Wang Dachui entered, his small eyes sparkled with anticipation.

As Li Jiajun's number one fanboy, and the person in the factory who understood his boss's "philosophy of showing off" best, he was always full of enthusiasm for every summons from his boss.

However, at this moment, Li Jiajun was not sitting in front of the live streaming equipment as usual.

He was sprawled in that large boss chair, hands clasped behind his head, a satisfied smile on his face.

He looked like a shrewd peddler who had just won a bargaining battle against an auntie at the market and bought top-quality pork belly at a cabbage price.

After a round of "friendly and in-depth" communication, Li Jiajun felt that he had completely "drained" the "Seasoned Old Angler" Netizen on the other side of the computer screen of all his knowledge, insights, and those seemingly outrageous but supposedly "high-end" requirements regarding Fishing Rods. Not a drop left.

"We have more important things to do now."

Li Jiajun stretched contentedly, his joints popping with a crackling sound.

He pointed to the computer screen and said to Wang Dachui, "Big Hammer, I just sent you a file."

"That's the chat record between me and a seasoned industry insider."

"It contains the core technical indicators and design inspiration for our next flagship product—the jiajun brand Super Fishing Rod."

Speaking of this, the corners of Li Jiajun's mouth rose slightly, revealing a confident smile.

"Go and organize the requirements for the Fishing Rod from these chat records into a detailed document for me."

"Remember, don't miss a single piece of data or a single requirement."

"This is the key to whether we can make an absolutely safe and absolutely best-selling product!"

Hearing this, Wang Dachui immediately stood in awe.

Although he didn't know why making a Fishing Rod required such a big battle, since it was the boss's order, it must have the boss's deep meaning!

"Order received!"

"Don't worry, Factory Director, when I, Wang Dachui, handle things, it's famously reliable!"

Wang Dachui patted his chest to guarantee.

Then, he accepted the order and returned to his workstation in the outer room.

Opened the computer.

Received the file.

It was a long, illustrated QQ chat record export file.

Wang Dachui rubbed his hands, adjusted his sitting posture to let his fat spread more comfortably on the chair.

Then, he began to read these chat records seriously.

At first, his expression was normal, even with a bit of a learning attitude.

After all, he also wanted to see who the "seasoned industry insider" referred to by his genius Factory Director was.

However, as he watched, Wang Dachui's already small eyes suddenly blinked.

Immediately after, his expression became strange.

It was like eating a bun stuffed with wasabi; it was a bit pungent, but the taste felt somewhat familiar.

【Seasoned Old Angler: The tensile strength must reach at least 6000 MPa!】

【Seasoned Old Angler: The tensile modulus must be around 30 GPa, that way it has backbone!】

【Seasoned Old Angler: It must maintain performance without degradation at temperatures above 200 degrees!】

【Seasoned Old Angler: The Air Force loves using this kind of Fishing Rod! If you really build it, it's up to Air Force standards.】

Looking at these outrageous data.

Looking at this tone of voice.

And that logic of forcing an explanation to cover up embarrassment...

Wang Dachui's heart skipped a beat.

He muttered to himself: "Huh? Is this our Factory Director Li chatting with Minister Liu again?"

Yes! It couldn't be wrong!

Even though the other party's screen name had been changed to the earthy "Seasoned Old Angler."

Even though the other party's avatar had been changed to an unremarkable landscape picture.

But as the "chief steward" who had received Liu Jianguo countless times, watched Liu Jianguo get snubbed by his own Factory Director countless times, and then wiped his Factory Director's butt behind his back, Wang Dachui was too familiar with Liu Jianguo's speaking style!

This tone of voice, this style of making demands, even that tendency to blow a cow and then desperately try to round it off when caught in a lie...

Who else could it be but Minister Liu Jianguo?

This flavor was too strong!

You could smell a thick "old cadre in the system forcing himself to sound like an expert" smell through the screen!

After confirming this, Wang Dachui was even more puzzled.

He scratched his large head, looked at the chat window on the screen, and his brows furrowed into a "chuan" shape.

"Strange... Why isn't our Factory Director chatting on WeChat, but switched to QQ?"

As far as he knew, the relationship between his Factory Director and Minister Liu, although sometimes a bit of love-hate, was generally quite close.

They definitely had each other on WeChat.

So why run to an "ancient" chat software like QQ to chat?

And, what made him most puzzled was that he found that in the chat records, although it was clear that the person on the other side was Minister Liu, the way they addressed each other and the way they talked seemed strange.

【Seasoned Old Angler: Brother...】

【Fishing Rod Manufacturer: Brother...】

This address... It was like two complete strangers chatting for the first time!

No pleasantries, no mention of any of the previous "big projects."

Just purely chatting about Fishing Rods!

And they were chatting very intently, very sincerely!

Even his own Factory Director was there seriously questioning whether the other party was bragging.

And Minister Liu was there blushing and defending himself.

This scene... No matter how you looked at it, it had an indescribable sense of dissonance.

"Are they playing some kind of cosplay? Or playing some kind of role-playing game?"

Wang Dachui was baffled.

He secretly poked his head out from the crack of the door and glanced at the boss's office not far away.

Through the glass door, he saw his young and promising Factory Director Li, eyes closed, leaning on the chair, with that faint smile on his mouth that seemed to control everything.

That expression was unfathomable.

That posture was light and breezy.

Looking at this scene, a flash of inspiration hit Wang Dachui's mind.

He felt like he had realized something.

"I get it! It must be like this!"

Wang Dachui retracted his head, sat back in his chair, looked at the chat records on the screen, his eyes becoming somewhat admiring, and also with a bit of helplessness.

Finally, he reached a conclusion: "Sigh, maybe geniuses have these unknown quirks. Obviously they know each other, but they have to pretend they don't. Or... Is this some new way of showing off? Or is this the prelude and foreshadowing of a new way of showing off?"

Wang Dachui felt more and more reliable the more he thought about it.

After all, his boss's realm of showing off had always been unfathomable.

From the previous "don't know if it counts as a toy" to the later "poor relative," every time it was shocking.

This time, he must be brewing some big move!

"High! It's really high!"

Wang Dachui gave his boss a thumbs up in his heart.

Since he had seen through the boss's "layout"—well, actually he hadn't, but he felt this must be a new way of showing off—then as a qualified subordinate, the best thing to do was—cooperate with the performance! Don't expose it!

Thus, Wang Dachui took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the strange feeling in his heart.

He no longer worried about why they had to pretend they didn't know each other, nor did he think about whether the logic behind it was reasonable.

He just honestly, seriously, began to extract the "perverted" parameters proposed by Liu Jianguo and approved by Li Jiajun one by one from the chat records and organize them into a document.

However, every time he typed a line, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Speechless in his heart.

"These two people... It's really one dares to say, one dares to do. With this pair of living treasures together, this Fishing Rod... can it still be a legitimate Fishing Rod?"
