The Beginning of Siheyuan: The Pig Killer of Qinjia Village

Yan Jiecheng gave an ambiguous answer. "Brother Wei introduced me to learn the craft."

He understood from Xu Damao's words that they were here to work, while he was here to learn a skill. It was impossible for him not to be envious...

Xu Damao continued to ask. "Are you also taking over the post?"

He didn't believe that Yan Bugui would spend 1,500 yuan to buy a job for Yan Jiecheng.

Chang Wei saw that it was time to go to work. "Uncle Xu, let's go in!" He led the way into the factory.

The guards on duty greeted Chang Wei with a smile. "Good morning, Brother Wei."

Chang Wei smiled and nodded in response. "Good morning."

As for the matter of bringing people into the factory, no one asked.

Xu Fugui followed him, feeling a little curious. Don't you need to register to enter the factory? Can Chang Wei bring him in? To enter the steel mill, you have to explain clearly what you are doing, register, and find someone to pick you up.

Yan Jiecheng was also curious. He had been standing at the door for quite some time, and when he saw the workers coming in, the security guards never took the initiative to greet them. He wondered, was Chang Wei really not a leader in the factory?

Xu Damao and his father had the same idea and muttered quietly, "Silly Zhu, is Brother Chang Wei a leader in the factory? Why don't we have to register to enter the factory?"

He wanted to call Chang Wei by his name, but quickly changed his words. He remembered his father's advice last night, to be honest and polite in front of Chang Wei, because he would have to take care of the yard and the factory in the future...

He Yuzhu proudly gestured with the label on his neck. "That's you, not us. I have this. Do I need to register when Brother Wei is with me? Ignorant..."

He wanted to mock Xu Damao, but was interrupted by Chang Wei.

"Zhu Zi, take Uncle Xu and Damao to the carport to park the car. I'll take Jie Cheng to the slaughterhouse to make some arrangements."

Then he looked at Xu Fugui and said, "Uncle Xu, wait for me in the carport. I'll be there soon."

Xu Fugui nodded. "Okay!"

Afterwards, Chang Wei took Yan Jiecheng to the slaughterhouse, ready to hand him over to the Zhao brothers. They were to teach all the new workers who had arrived in the past two years.

As soon as the two entered the workshop, they happened to meet Zhao Hu.

"Huzi, this is the new helper Yan Jiecheng. Just assign him a job."

When Zhao Hu heard that he was a helper and not a new worker, he touched the back of his head and asked in confusion. "Helper? Brother Wei, why do we need helpers in our workshop? Shouldn't helpers go to the kitchen?"

Chang Wei smiled, knowing Zhao Hu's temperament, he was notoriously slow to react, so he patiently explained. "Huzi, I'm just an apprentice, just like when you brothers learned to butcher pigs before, I just want to learn the craft without getting paid.

But you should get the benefits of your workstation. You can’t let people work for free.

And as a backup for the workshop, after learning well, whether the slaughterhouse is hiring or recruiting, won’t there be ready-made skilled workers? "

After hearing this, Zhao Hu understood and said confidently, "Oh! You mean an apprentice? Then I know, Brother Wei."

Chang Wei smiled and said, "You have experience in teaching apprentices, so I'll leave the man to you. First find an old set of work clothes to wear, and when you have a break at noon, go to the logistics department to get a new set. I'll go and tell them."

Zhao Hu nodded. "Okay, Brother Wei, I'll arrange for him to do some simple work first."

Chang Wei nodded and looked at Yan Jiecheng to introduce him. "Jiecheng, Master Zhao is one of the two level 6 butchers in the workshop and the leader of the deboning and cutting team. You must study hard. I have something else to do and I'll leave first."

Yan Jiecheng was a little scared when he saw Zhao Hu's face, but when he heard that he was a sixth-level butcher and a team leader, he knew that if he could get along well with him, he would not only learn the skills but also have a backstage. Chang Wei was helping him, and he nodded quickly with a grateful look in his eyes.

"Got it, thank you Brother Wei."

Chang Wei smiled and turned to leave.

He knew that the Zhao brothers hated teaching their apprentices, and they often said that only by enduring hardships can one learn a skill...

Zhao Hu glanced at Yan Jiecheng. He was of average height and thin, and felt that he was not suitable for their line of work. But since he was here, he would give it a try and find him a job that would replenish his body.

Moreover, as an apprentice, he must train at the beginning and do the dirtiest and most tiring work.

"Come on, change your clothes with me. You will soon be like those old women, processing the large and small intestines. You are too thin, so why don't you do it for two months to build up your body?" He pointed to a group of women who were washing large and small intestines by the sink.

Yan Jiecheng nodded, and followed him to the changing room with a confused look on his face. He changed into an old work suit, and then was thrown into a group of women to process large and small intestines.

Chang Wei came to the carport and took Xu's father and son to the dormitory to meet Qian San.

"Old Qian, Uncle Xu, you guys keep chatting, and I'll be a witness once you've reached an agreement."

After a few words in the room, the two sides reached an agreement. The position was worth 1,500 yuan. Qian San wrote a receipt, and under the witness of Chang Wei, they handed over the money and the receipt.

Chang Wei then took the Xu father and son away and went to the Personnel Department to ask Da Ling to arrange for Xu Damao to take over.

Da Ling looked at Xu Damao and said, "We don't have a projectionist position in our factory, but the factory secretary said that we are going to buy a projector, but it will only be used on Saturdays.

So I'm giving you two choices now. First, if you only want to be a projectionist, you'll have to be an apprentice for three years before you can be hired as a regular employee. Second, I heard from Brother Wei that you can project movies, so you can be exempted from the three-year apprenticeship and get the salary of a level 8 projectionist directly, but you'll have to work in the workshop from Monday to Friday. It's your choice."

Chang Wei had already made arrangements for this matter, and he was assigned a level 8 projectionist with a salary of 35.5 yuan a month. Of course, it would not be so easy to exempt him from the three-year apprenticeship. So the job was not as simple as projecting movies. In addition to being a projectionist on Saturdays, he had to work in the slaughterhouse the rest of the time.

Xu Damao answered without hesitation. "Hello, leader. I choose the second one."

Who doesn't work? Although he doesn't want to work, he needs money. Three years of apprenticeship are waived. Three years? And the salary is doubled. Only a fool would not choose it. When he was an apprentice, his father was very stingy and only gave him three yuan pocket money a month.

"Okay, then I'll get you started." Da Ling had anticipated this and arranged for Xu Damao to join the company immediately.

From then on, Comrade Xu Damao became a projectionist at the Victory Cannery.

Xu Fugui was also happy. His son was lucky to get the salary of level 8 right away. After giving Xu Damao some instructions, he said hello to Chang Wei and left happily. He had to go back to the steel mill to work.

Afterwards, Chang Wei took Xu Damao to the logistics warehouse to get work clothes, and then took him directly to the slaughterhouse.

"Biaozi, this is our new co-worker Xu Damao. Young people need more training. You should pay more attention and teach them well."

Zhao Biao nodded quickly. "Okay! Brother Wei, I will definitely teach you well."

I thought that Brother Wei should value this kid more. He said he needed more practice, so he must practice so that he can learn the skills well.

Chang Wei smiled and said to Xu Damao. "Da Mao, Master Zhao is a skilled master, one of the two level 6 butchers in the slaughterhouse, and the leader of the butchering team. You should seize the opportunity to learn well. Learning a skill is definitely hard and tiring, but having more skills is always better. You won't be panicked when encountering problems in the future if you have a skill."

He had no selfish motives towards Xu Damao and Yan Jiecheng. Since they were working for him, he treated them equally. Workers could only do a good job if they learned their skills well. This was what a factory director had to consider.
