Shu Yu didn't feel surprised. After all, Carpenter Yao knew Qi Chan and even intended to meet him, probably hailing from the capital.
She thought deeper, and even more so, felt it was highly likely that he had once been an official.
Indeed, Lu Erbai sighed, "He used to work in the Ministry of Industry in the capital. He was an official."
Shu Yu thought to herself, she had actually guessed it right, "Did Uncle Yao tell you all this?"
"Not at all. He doesn't like to talk about his past experiences. I learned about them from listening to his son. Brother Yao worked extremely hard while he was in the Ministry of Industry, but his efforts were not for his own career advancement; they were for his craftsmanship. I've known him for quite a while now. His skills are truly impressive, and he knows a lot. I learned many things from him that I had never known before, and it has benefited me greatly."
