129. New carriage plan
[Indifferent Pig]: The boss is truly something else. Meanwhile, I vanish for days either moving bricks or digging soil. I can't compare—I really can't compare! /hands are funny
[La La La]: Why do I feel strangely attacked and sad?
[The Girl Hasn't Left]: Tie the iron, old heart / handshake
Jason Liu glanced at the comments from these playful viewers and couldn't help but smile. However, he didn't feel the need to post any replies this time.
After all, he was no longer the carefree man with nothing to lose, joking around with people online all day. The lighthearted joy he once shared as a young, aimless dreamer was now a thing of the past.
Thinking about it, he felt a tinge of nostalgia.
But perhaps that's the cost of growing up.
If given another chance to go back, would he trade his current busyness and fatigue for the carefree happiness of his past? No, probably not.
Yes, he thought to himself, I am a diligent and simple man of principle!
No, scratch that—this busy life is exhausting! If the boss only had to move his mouth every day while the subordinates broke their backs running around, wouldn't most people gladly trade their carefree happiness for this kind of fatigue?
Jason chuckled at his own dramatic musings before refocusing on the screen. Miss Qi Qi's lively dance held his full attention.
She truly was stunning—an angelic face paired with a petite yet charming figure. Sweet yet sassy, her every move was mesmerizing!
He was captivated.
Without hesitation, Jason topped up his account with 10,000 coins and sent four of the most expensive gifts available in the stream: romantic castles.
[24k Single Dog]: Sent Romantic Castle × 1
[24k Single Dog]: Sent Romantic Castle × 1
The live chat exploded with excitement as the virtual castles lit up the screen with dazzling special effects. Though purely decorative, they were certainly eye-catching.
More importantly, these gifts pushed Qi Qi's stream to the top of the platform, ensuring more viewers flocked to her channel.
In the world of live streaming, it wasn't often someone splurged like this. Qi Qi, visibly thrilled, twirled gracefully and thanked him on camera.
"Thank you, Single Brother, for your generous gifts! I love you!" she exclaimed with a bright smile.
[24k Single Dog]: I love your dancing and your beauty. Keep it up!
[Indifferent Pig]: Boss, was that a confession?
[La La La]: I'm so envious. I'm crying tears of sadness here.
[Qi Qi's Angel]: Thanks to Single Dog Brother for his amazing gifts! I hope you continue to like and support Qi Qi! @ [24k Single Dog]
The stream chat filled with rainbows and cheers, but Jason didn't take it to heart. He'd long grown immune to the flattery and over-the-top enthusiasm of streamers. It was all just talk, after all.
For now, he enjoyed watching Qi Qi's lively performance, and before he knew it, it was already midnight.
Meanwhile, over at the Carriage Factory, Director Thomas and his team had finalized the manufacturing plan for Jason's custom carriage. After hours of calculations, they arrived at a design and cost estimate for the project.
The carriage was designed to be large, measuring 5 meters long, 3 meters wide, and 2.7 meters tall. It also included features such as a small generator, battery, leather sofa seats, tempered glass windows, and solid rubber tires.
Once everything was settled, Director Thomas instructed his assistant Henry to contact Jason and present the proposed design and pricing.
"Hello, sir," read the message from the factory. "After thorough research, we've finalized the manufacturing plan. I've attached the schematic diagram for your review. Please let us know if any adjustments are needed."
Jason felt a surge of excitement as he opened the file.
The diagram displayed a modernized four-wheeled carriage designed exactly to his specifications. To accommodate the increased size and weight, the factory had replaced the traditional single crankshaft with a sturdy square steel frame chassis similar to those used in automobiles.
The steel used in the chassis, brackets, axles, and spokes had been upgraded to ensure durability and prevent deformation under heavy loads.
The carriage's wheels were also widened to better handle the increased weight, and the solid rubber tires provided greater stability compared to traditional pneumatic tires.
The cabin, shaped like a rectangular box, featured sliding doors with tempered glass windows on both sides. This design allowed for a sleek and practical opening mechanism, even in narrow spaces.
Below each door, a foldable steel step was added for convenience, ensuring passengers could easily board despite the 50 cm ground clearance. This was particularly thoughtful for the ladies of Westeros, who often wore long skirts and would find it cumbersome to climb into a carriage without such a feature.
Inside, the carriage was divided into two sections. The rear area housed a comfortable sofa bed, while the front half featured high-end leather sofa chairs. These seats were not only elegant but also easy to maintain.
The driver's area at the front had room for both the groom and an accompanying guard.
A small but noteworthy detail was the flag holder installed in one corner of the carriage. Jason appreciated this touch—it allowed the owner's family emblem to be proudly displayed, making the carriage instantly recognizable.
Overall, the design was a significant upgrade from the traditional carriages of Westeros. Its sturdier chassis, wider wheels, and modern features made it a symbol of luxury and practicality.
Jason reviewed the specifications and found himself thoroughly impressed. The factory had done an excellent job translating his ideas into reality.
