Chapter 164 Master Xiaolin
Seeing Gao Zhu's dazed look, they followed his line of sight and saw the three mini statues at a glance.
Huang Qiushi and Zhang Fadada's pupils both shuddered, unable to believe that what they were seeing was a real scene.
Although they did not notice Lin Chuyi's actions before, the three wooden sculptures on the ground were holding the semi-finished products they had just made. This shows that these three wooden sculptures were made within the hour just now.
Apart from the three of them, Lin Chuyi was the only one left in the room, so it was obvious who made these three statues.
They had to capture so many details within a limited time of one hour and perfectly carve them on the wood to make it a complete wood carving. They asked themselves, if they were in their place, could they do it? The answer they got was no.
Although they couldn't understand how a girl in her early teens could do this, they had to admit that they were no match for this little girl.
Since Manager Qian already had such a skilled carpenter here, why did he still ask them to come over? For a moment, everyone fell silent.
Lin Chuyi walked up to the three of them and saw that they were all staring at the wood carvings he had made. He couldn't help but chuckle and said, "These wood carvings borrowed your portraits, so I can't keep them for collection. If you don't mind, you can take the corresponding wood carvings away later. It will be a gift for you when we meet officially for the first time."
Huang Qiushi turned around and looked at Lin Chuyi after hearing this. His tone was already a little respectful when he spoke: "I have yet to ask for your name, young lady?"
"My last name is Lin, you can just call me Xiao Lin."
Huang Qiushi shook his head. "The ancients said that there is no order of learning, and the one who is successful comes first. This also applies to our business. I didn't know that Master Lin was so skilled in carpentry, so I accepted the title of Master Gao. Now I feel a little ashamed. I should be the one to call you Master."
"Master Huang, you are too polite. Your woodworking skills are profound and extensive. I only know a little bit about it. I don't deserve such praise from you."
In response to Huang Qiushi's compliments, Lin Chuyi spoke the truth in a humble manner.
Lin Chuyi has only learned elementary wood art so far, and is still at the elementary level. He is still far from unlocking the achievement of "Master of Wood Art".
Although what Lin Chuyi said was the truth, it didn't make sense to these people. Is this just the basics? Then what are these people who are not as good as you? They haven't even learned the basics in decades.
The three of them had mixed feelings, but Huang Qiushi was the first to put aside his resentment and sadness and bring the topic back to the topic.
"Master Xiaolin, I wonder what you mean by 'first official meeting'? Is there a possibility that we may meet again?"
If they were not selected, they would naturally return to their original life trajectory and would no longer have any contact with Master Kobayashi in front of them. There would be no need for Master Kobayashi to say this.
But if the three of them can meet Master Kobayashi again, doesn’t that mean that all three of them can be kept?
But is this really possible? Even if you want to open a shop, you don’t need four chefs, so what does Master Xiaolin mean?
When Huang Qiushi heard Lin Chuyi say that, many questions flashed through his mind. Now he finally expressed his confusion out loud.
Hearing Huang Qiushi's question, Lin Chuyi chuckled and deliberately kept it a secret.
"You will know the answer to this question soon. Well, it's almost time now. You can go to the lobby in front. Manager Qian should be waiting for you there. You can ask him if you have any questions. He can solve your confusion."
The three of them left the woodshed with trepidation. On the way to the lobby in front, Gao Zhu suddenly remembered that he had not brought his wooden boat. He slapped his forehead and called the other two.
"Wait a moment."
Huang Qiushi and Zhang Fadada were confused and turned to look at him, "What's wrong?"
"We haven't taken the things we made yet. Didn't Master Xiaolin say that the money manager needs to see it?"
After hearing Gao Zhu's reminder, Zhang Fadada just remembered this. He stood there hesitantly, not knowing whether to go back and get the wooden table he made.
Huang Qiushi's mind worked quickly. By now he had figured out that the amount of money depended on the finished product they made. In fact, it should be a test from Master Kobayashi to them.
Although Master Xiaolin did not tell them the final test results, judging from her behavior of asking the three of them to go to the lobby to find money for the manager, the three of them should have passed the test. In this case, there is no need to go back to get the things.
The two people beside him obviously didn't understand the intricacies of this. Before the final result came out, there was still a competitive relationship between the three of them. At this time, there was naturally no need for him to explain his guesses to these two people in detail.
However, it was fate that we met each other, so Huang Qiushi decided to give them a friendly reminder. As for whether the other party would listen or not, that was not something he could decide.
Huang Qiushi had made up his mind and shook his head at the two people who were struggling.
"Master Xiaolin didn't remind us of this when we were leaving, which means it's not important. Now that we're out, let's go to the lobby to check the situation. If Manager Qian isn't here, we can come back later. Otherwise, if we take too long to go back and forth, it will make Manager Qian unhappy, which is not good."
After hearing what Huang Qiushi said, Gao Zhu and Zhang Fadada looked at each other and quickly decided to listen to Huang Qiushi.
Judging from Master Xiaolin's performance just now, she obviously prefers Huang Qiushi's finished product. Although Gao Zhu feels that his finished product is not bad, it is still not perfect enough. If he really sends the finished product to Manager Qian, his chances of winning are not great.
Zhang Fadada's idea was even simpler. Although his wooden table had been completed, it was nothing new compared to the other two. If he really had to make a choice, his would definitely be the first one to be abandoned.
Now that no one brings finished products, it actually increases his chances of winning.
The three of them had different thoughts, but the road was so short that they quickly reached the front hall.
As expected, Manager Qian was already sitting there waiting for someone. They didn't dare to delay and quickened their pace, heading towards Qian Laiye.
Qian Lai was originally looking at the contract that had just been signed when he noticed some more footsteps in the lobby. He looked up and saw that they were the three carpenters he had visited yesterday. A smile appeared on his face.
