After hearing what Wu Bin said, Yao Lin became the most anxious.

He whispered at the side: "It's over. Master Wan hates being flattered the most, especially when someone is flattering him in the woodworking field. That's like flattering the horse's leg."

"This is over. Master Wan will probably be angry."

After all, Yao Lin was with Wan Xiu in the factory all day long, so he knew Wan Xiu's temper very well and knew what kind of person he was.

Tang Hao also frowned, feeling that this matter was a bit tricky.

On one side is Song Bing's friend, and on the other side is the most important technical worker in his factory. If Wu Bin really offended Wan Xiu, he, as the factory director, will have to apologize later.

Just as Tang Hao was thinking this, Wan Xiu was not as angry as everyone imagined. Instead, he looked at Wu Bin and asked curiously, "Interesting, how did you know that I am a Maitreya Buddha?"

Wu Bin smiled and said, "Although there are a lot of sawdust blocking the wood you carved, judging from these vague outlines, it should be a Buddha statue, right?"

"I also saw a scripture under the lotus throne. Although it was only a short paragraph, I think this should be Maitreya Buddha."

After hearing what Wu Bin said, Wan Xiu, who had been looking impatient just now, suddenly burst into laughter.

"Not bad, really not bad. I didn't expect you to have such good eyesight at such a young age. Could it be that you are also a carpenter?"

Wu Bin was naturally not a carpenter.

He had such a keen eye because in his previous life he had a client who liked wood carving, so Wu Bin worked hard to study it for a period of time.

If Wan Xiu was carving some kind of landscape, bird, or animal, it would be hard for Wu Bin to guess.

But it is easy to guess what kind of statues or figures of Taoism and Buddhism were carved.

Because the statues of gods are all standardized, with certain specifications and fixed images.

Although the styles in most places are different, they are generally similar, so Wu Bin was able to recognize them at a glance.

Seeing that Wu Bin just smiled and said nothing, Wan Xiu did not continue to ask, but stood up the wood in front of him.

"Okay, since there are experts out there, there's no harm in showing you this wood. It's almost done anyway."

The moment the wood stood up, all the netizens in the live broadcast room couldn't help but exclaim in amazement!

"Fuck, this is a work of art! The carving of this Maitreya Buddha is so lifelike! The smile is so classic!"

"This is the most festive Maitreya Buddha I have ever seen, and also the most detailed one. Look at the area around his lotus throne, and you can even see the patterns on the lotus!"

"Before, I never understood why the factory director had to be so servile to a skilled worker, but now I understand. With his skills, it's not an exaggeration to say that he is the factory's signature!"

The moment Wu Bin saw the wood carving, he was also surprised.

He had seen many exquisite wood carvings in his previous life, but none of them could compare to the one in front of him. What is a truly good wood carving?
Just four words - totally natural!
Wan Xiu's wood carvings have achieved these four words. The Maitreya Buddha not only has a kind and benevolent expression, giving people a feeling of joy and comfort, but most importantly, the details are carved so well that it is impossible to find any flaws or defects.

The skin texture fits perfectly with the wood texture, the shape and form are natural and round, and the whole wood looks like amber jade, which is quite beautiful!

Wu Bin simply couldn't bear to think about how comfortable it would be if such a wood carving artwork was kept by someone for a few years and gained popularity.

Seeing Wu Bin looking at it intently, Wan Xiu smiled and said, "You are also an expert. Why don't you give us your evaluation of my Maitreya Buddha sculpture?"

After hearing Wan Xiu's question, Wu Bin walked around the Maitreya Buddha and said in a deep voice, "This Maitreya Buddha has too much murderous aura. To be honest, it is not suitable to be sold. My suggestion is to destroy it on the spot."

When Wu Bin said this, everyone was stunned.

Song Bing's eyes widened as he stood by.

"Old Wu, you are not serious, are you? There is nothing wrong with the sculpture of Maitreya Buddha. Do you want to destroy it?"

Song Bing thought Wu Bin was simply crazy.

You know, for craftsmen, each of their works is like their own child. They treasure them very much and take good care of them. But Wu Bin actually proposed to destroy them?

Wan Xiu was not angry, and continued to ask: "Oh? Can you tell that my Maitreya Buddha has too much murderous aura? Then please tell me in detail, where exactly is my Maitreya Buddha too murderous? If you can tell me, I will listen to you and destroy it."

"But if you can't tell me, then you have to apologize to me and give me a red envelope of 20,000 yuan to ward off the bad luck."

When the netizens in the live broadcast room heard Wan Xiu say this, they were immediately shocked.

"Is this guy crazy because of poverty? I admit that his carving skills are pretty good, but he wants to give him a red envelope of 20,000 yuan just for saying something wrong. Isn't this extortion?"

"Those who think it's too expensive actually don't know the rules here. Whether it's a carpenter or a stonemason, they are all very careful and even very pious when sculpting Buddha statues. What is Buddha? Buddha is compassionate. But now you say that this Buddha is too murderous. Do you think Buddha won't blame you?"

"I think the above person is talking nonsense. You mean to say that if you say something wrong, Buddha will be angry and punish you. And if you give a red envelope of 20,000 yuan to ward off evil, Buddha will not be angry anymore? If that's really what you said, it only shows that Buddha is not only petty, but also greedy for money."

"You outsiders are really ignorant and fearless. This is the same reason why many crews of ghost movies must give red envelopes to people after they play the role of a dead person. Every circle has its own rules. Isn't it enough for you to follow them?"

After Wan Xiu stated his conditions, he waited for Wu Bin's answer.

Song Bing also realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere. He was just about to go up to ease the mood, but Wu Bin agreed immediately.

"Okay, I'll do as you say. If I'm right, remember to destroy this Maitreya Buddha."

After Wu Bin finished speaking, he said to Yao Lin who was standing beside him: "Do you have a flashlight? Lend me some."

Yao Lin didn't know what Wu Bin wanted the flashlight for, but when he thought that Wu Bin was Song Bing's friend, he could only take out his flashlight and hand it over.

Wu Bin then took the Maitreya Buddha to a darker place and shone the flashlight on it. (End of this chapter)
