Chapter 66
Chapter 66. Overnight Rush
"Ren Ping, this is Zheng Gong, the successor of flower and wood carving in Lushui County, Nanling. He used to check all the wooden furniture works of Ren's wood industry,"

"This is a workman who specializes in gold carving, stone carving, lacquer art and other miscellaneous arts. In terms of gold, stone and lacquer, no one in the entire Nanling can compare with him,"

"And this one..."

At night, at a hotel near Renrenzhai, after simply settling a dozen people, Ye Shiyun began to introduce them to Ren Ping one by one.

Every time someone was introduced, Ren Ping smiled and nodded.

These people are all old craftsmen who have worked in Ren's wood industry for many years. It is no exaggeration to say that they are the mainstay. In the past month, Ye Shiyun has been traveling around, and it took a lot of effort to find them.

However, what is shameful is that Ren Ping is not familiar with these people. Except for a few vague impressions, he has almost never met the rest.

Looking back on all the previous times of not thinking about making progress, it is no wonder that the Ren family's family fortune will be ruined in one day.

A dozen or so people had complicated eyes and said nothing.

In fact, they are also very strange to Ren Ping, and they have always maintained a sense of distance since they met. Apart from restraint, they mostly avoid and stay at a respectful distance, as if they are people from two worlds with him.

It is not difficult to understand that half a year ago Qianshi Wood Industry suddenly went bankrupt and owed them millions in salary.

Although it has been repaid now, all kinds of hardships such as unemployment, asking for salary, and returning home to wait for work in the past six months have all been caused by Ren, and it cannot be made up for by simply compensating for the owed wages.

What's more, the current Ren family is still a hole.

In an instant, he understood everyone's worries, and Ren Ping couldn't help empathizing with them. Then he took a deep breath, faced everyone, and bowed deeply:
"Uncles, I apologize to you on behalf of Ren's Wood Industry."

"Mr. Ren, you..."

A dozen or so people were startled and wanted to help, but couldn't make up their minds and froze for a while.

Ye Shiyun on the side was also surprised:

This kid has really changed, how can he do this?
However, she also remained silent, knowing in her heart that Ren Ping was seeking the trust of the craftsmen.

After the downfall of Ren's wood industry, Nanling City's home improvement market has lost this signboard. Now, with compensation for arrears of wages and a little favor from the former Junnan, although these old craftsmen are gathered again, but then what?
Friendship can't be eaten, if Ren Ping can't show that he has the ability to revive the Ren family and give everyone a stable job, why should others stay?
Most of the people here are old at the top and young at the bottom, and the work under their hands is also polished by real gold and silver, so it can't be abandoned, right?
Therefore, at a time when everyone is still full of distrust towards the Ren family, as the head of the family, Ren Ping must make a statement!
"Uncles, this bow is firstly an apology for the turmoil in the company after my father's death, which caused everyone to drift and fall, and secondly, thank you, thank you for giving me and Ren's a chance at this time!"

Ren Ping's tone was sincere, and there was a radiance in his raised eyes.

More than a dozen people looked at each other and were deeply moved.

After a while, the leader Zheng Gong shook his head and sighed:
"Let him pass on the past. Xiao Ren doesn't have to be like this. Having said that, your father was always good to us in the past. The Ren family is the only one who can make us traditional handicraft craftsmen shine to the fullest in Quannanling."

"Later, even though I went bankrupt and owed wages, I paid it back after all. You also asked Miss Ye to make up [-]% more. We are all very grateful, but..."

Speaking of this, I couldn’t help but smile bitterly:
"It's just that those of us have lived our lives with these skills, Mr. Ren, you have to let us have work, otherwise, even if we come here, what can we do?"

The rest of the people nodded when they heard the words. They were not afraid of anything, and they trusted Mrs. Ren, but they were afraid that there would be no work to do. If Ren Ping just talked nicely, their trip would be in vain.

"There is work, of course there is work!"

"Really? When?"

"Right now, there is something in front of you that needs to bother you."

Ren Ping said suddenly.

Everyone was taken aback when they heard it, especially Ye Shiyun frowned and pulled him over:

"Ren Ping, aren't you joking? Now that Mrs. Ren hasn't come back to life, where did you get the job? You paid off all the debts left by your father?"

"How is that possible? That's tens of millions."

Ren Ping shrugged.

"Then why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf here?"

Ye Shiyun raised her eyes: "I can warn you, I have brought Zheng Gong and Qian Gong, but those who have guaranteed and sworn, can't let Mrs. Ren cheat them again! If you dare to write a bad check, I will It's not over with you!"

"Sister Yun, can you listen to me..."

"Okay, say it!"

Ye Shiyun folded her arms and stared at him closely.

Ren Ping gave a wry smile, and had no choice but to take out the prepared shaft from the backpack behind his back, and opened the cover, only to see that it was a calligraphy work, with raw paper and characters, and it seemed that it had not been framed yet.

"Gong Zheng, Gong Gong, look at this."

As he spoke, he spread out the rice paper.

The size of this piece of calligraphy is huge, spread on the bed, it will fill up the two people, and there is still plenty.

Halfway through the shop, Zheng Gong recognized it first, and couldn't help exclaiming:
"Hundred Shoutu!"

"That's right, Mr. Zheng has good eyesight."

Ren Ping gave a thumbs up.

When he turned around to look, the worker on the other side also recognized it, but he looked more carefully and scanned it from top to bottom several times, with even more surprise on his face:

"The Baishou picture is not bad, and it seems to be a new product?"

There are many kinds of Baishou pictures, except for those that have been circulated on the market, as long as someone can rewrite the complete work, it is called a new product.

A new product may not be a good product, and many pretentious people can draw on the gourd, but this one is obviously not.

Both Zheng Gong and Gan Gong have spent half their lives polishing their respective crafts, and they are well-informed. They have customized some screens and stone carvings of Baishou pictures for many dignitaries in the past, but they are all from Baishou who has seen a lot. It is reproduced in the template of the picture, but this one has never been seen before.

Not only has it never been seen before, but it is quite powerful!

Although they are not professional calligraphers, but as the saying goes, they are subtly influenced, and they still have this calligraphy appreciation ability!
At the moment, he vaguely guessed something, and there was a gleam of splendor in the originally dull eyes:
"President Ren, what do you mean..."

"Use this picture of one hundred longevity as a draft, and make a wooden screen!"

Ren Ping didn't hold back any more, and said directly:

"But the time is a bit tight, there are only three days, what, can it work?"

The two didn't answer for a while, and lowered their heads in thought.

Taking advantage of this time, Ye Shiyun asked clearly what is a picture of a hundred years of life, and the ins and outs of this picture of a hundred years of life, but this is not important. The key now is, what is Ren Ping's plan?
"What are you doing with this screen? Any plans?"

"No, you can't go to Tian's birthday banquet empty-handed."

"Didn't you have a birthday gift ready?"

"That's another matter. The making of this thing is not only a birthday gift, but also a stepping stone. It is used as a facade. Otherwise, why would Tahoe Group help you?"

Ye Shiyun seems to have realized that Ren Ping wants to use the screen made of Baishoutu to talk about cooperation with the Tian family. Taihe Group has also dabbled in the home decoration industry. There is drama.

But... only three days!
"Your plan is too unrealistic. Just three days. What about the factory building? What about the raw materials? Don't forget, Ren's factory is still mortgaged by others!"

"Don't worry, I'm ready."

"Really?"

Ren Ping smiled slightly. This plan was planned as early as when he got the Baishou map. In the past few days, he has temporarily rented the factory building and equipment, and the raw materials are all available.

Otherwise, how dare he let You Shengxing go to the banquet with him?

Now there is only one question, can it be completed on time!

"What? Is it difficult?"

Seeing Zheng Gong and Gan Gong talking in low voice for a long time, Ren Ping couldn't help but frown slightly. He hasn't done any work for half a year. These old craftsmen are not unfamiliar with their skills, right?
Fortunately, the two shook their heads together when they heard the words, and there was even a look of excitement on their faces that they hadn't seen for a long time, and they paused:

"Xiao Ren, don't worry, three days will be three days, even if we don't sleep, we will rush out the things overnight!"
