"Barely acceptable… essentially it means somewhat satisfactory. If this comment were made to an ordinary person by a superior in the camp, it would already be considered not bad.
But if the recipient of this evaluation prided himself as Great Yu's number one gunsmith, known for the 'Fire Gun,'
then it became a disparagement.
An overt disparagement.
At this moment, the smug smile that flitted across Chen Gui's lips instantly stiffened.
He turned his head to look at the tall and handsome Zhao Douan standing beside him, his complexion visibly darkening, even his goatee starting to tremble.
"Mr… you think it's only barely acceptable?"
Chen Huoshen stared at Zhao Douan, his fleeting respect for his new superior vaporized in an instant.
He had ample pride, at least in the realm of firearms where he considered himself ahead of the entire world.
And now, his most proud creation was being so dismissively evaluated by a young man several decades his junior.
