Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

Jia Dongxu's nonsense made some of the fitters from the countryside very angry. The shrewd Yi Zhonghai naturally felt the anger of others, and hurriedly smiled awkwardly and said to those who were on the verge of a fight, "Hey, no, no, no, you guys are all workers in the same workshop, you dare not do this. Dongxu was hit this morning, and his mind may be a little confused. As his master, I apologize to you on his behalf. He really said what he meant, he said what he meant."

The people who were very angry just now looked at each other and had to put down the things in their hands. After all, the senior fitter had apologized to them. If they really didn't let go, it would make them look aggressive. Wang Gouzi curled his lips. Ever since he came to work in this workshop, Jia Dongxu had been very unhappy with him. He snorted coldly and said, "Jia Dongxu, I just look down on you, what can you do about it?"

"I have never heard of a son or mother who, after being insulted, would not fight back with his belongings, but would bargain with the perpetrator. Jia Dongxu, you sold your mother for 60 yuan, so your mother is really cheap. On the contrary, your mother is old, and it is not easy to sell her for 60 yuan."

The workers who were watching the excitement burst out laughing. They really didn't expect that Wang Gouzi, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, could play tricks on others. Jia Dongxu's face was dark. Although he was a shameless person, he couldn't stand being pointed at by the workers in the workshop. He picked up the wrench on the ground and smashed it on Wang Gouzi's head while he was not paying attention.

A worker next to Wang Gouzi was quick-witted and pulled Wang Gouzi to the side. But the wrench hit Wang Gouzi's shoulder, and Wang Gouzi screamed. Jia Dongxu hit and cursed, "I'm going to fight you today. Who the hell are you? How dare you look down on me? I have to teach you a lesson today. You are from the countryside, what's so great about you?"

Gao Daming, a second-level fitter in the workshop, shouted, "Jia Dongxu, you bastard, are you crazy? Do you want to kill someone?" Gao Daming picked up a broom and smashed it on Jia Dongxu's head. Gao Daming shouted to the workers around him, "Everyone, don't watch. If something really happens, we will all be in trouble."

The workers around nodded and quickly restrained Jia Dongxu. Not long after, the workshop director Guo Dapiezi, who received the news, walked in with a dark face, cursing as he walked, "Jia Dongxu, you bastard, you want to kill people in our workshop or something. Our workshop can't accommodate you anymore, right? Send all of you to the security department, and I have to deal with you all."

Yi Zhonghai gritted his teeth and ran over, putting on an awkward but polite smile to Guo Dapiezi and said, "Director Guo, can we resolve today's issue in our workshop? If it really gets reported to the security department, it will be bad for your reputation, won't it?" Wang Gouzi's shoulder was hit by Jia Dongxu's wrench and was bleeding. He looked very unhappy.

Chen Guohai and Yi Zhonghai had a grudge, so they naturally didn't want to settle it in the workshop. Chen Guohai's mind was very flexible. After thinking for a while, he said, "Director, Wang Gouzi's shoulder seems to have been broken. I think we should make this matter public. If there is any accident, if Director Guo doesn't report it, and the leaders above check it out, you will be in trouble."

Guo Dapiezi's face turned pale and he pushed Yi Zhonghai's hand away. He was really scared now. He wanted to accept Yi Zhonghai's opinion just now. After all, if the superiors really knew about this, then Guo Dapiezi would be in trouble. He wanted to make a big deal out of a small matter in the workshop, otherwise, his career would be affected.

But Chen Guohai's words hit him hard. If he really did that, if Wang Gouzi's injury was minor, then it would be nothing. But looking at Wang Gouzi's pale face, he knew that his injury was not minor at all. Guo Dapiezi yelled at the top of his voice, "You all just stand there and watch. Send Wang Gouzi to the infirmary first. And report today's incident to me, and ask the comrades in the security department to send a few people over."

Guo Dapiezi looked at Yi Zhonghai again, thought for a while and said, "Master Yi, you also saw that the injury on Master Wang's arm is quite serious. This matter cannot be handled in our workshop, we must report to our superiors. You...you should continue to finish the remaining workpieces, and by the way, finish your apprentice's part of the task. After all, Jia Dongxu is your apprentice, right?"

Yi Zhonghai nodded helplessly. His apprentice was really a troublemaker. He sighed. Although he was a senior fitter in the steel mill, he dared not offend the workshop director even if he was an eighth-level fitter. Chen Guohua looked at Yi Zhonghai with a smile, and went to work happily.

There was a hint of viciousness in Yi Zhonghai's eyes. Chen Guohua was his apprentice at the beginning. Although it was just a cover-up, he thought that Chen Guohua was from the countryside and was easier to control, but he didn't expect that this kid had a very strong personality. Yi Zhonghai withheld Chen Guohua's salary for a year, did not teach him the skills properly, and only let him do some hard work. But he was serious about handing over the things to Jia Dongxu, which made Chen Guohua very angry.

They are all the same apprentices, why should they be divided into different levels? Chen Guohua was really unhappy. After working under Yi Zhonghai for two years, he had no choice but to spend some money to cancel the status of master and apprentice of Yi Zhonghai. In this era, the status between master and apprentice is very important. If you want to regret after becoming a disciple, you have to give the master a large sum of money.

Chen Guohua's family was very poor. In order to collect the 100 yuan to buy out the family, Chen Guohua's mother even went to the black blood station to sell blood. On the way home, she was hit and killed by a large truck. This made Chen Guohua very resentful of Master Yi Zhonghai. If there was anyone in the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill who hated Yi Zhonghai the most, it would be Chen Guohua.
