Siheyuan: The beauty Xueru Huizhen, the birds are jealous

After all, since he left here to go to university for further studies, the faces here have changed one after another, and to many people, he has become a stranger.

However, just as he was about to explain why he was there, a harsh voice broke the momentary peace.

That was Jia Dongxu, and standing next to him were Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu.

Jia Dongxu's eyes seemed to be full of dissatisfaction with Yang Ming. He mentioned Yang Ming's choice that year sarcastically, as if trying to prove his own pride and Yang Ming's frustration.

"Yang Ming, you're back after all." Jia Dongxu's mouth curled up with a hint of sarcasm, "Don't you look down on this place? Why, you can't continue studying at university, so you still want to come back here to hang out?"

Jia Dongxu's words were full of provocation, and he was obviously jealous of Yang Ming's past and achievements.

He mentioned the second-level machinist certificate he was about to obtain to show off his future, as if he wanted to prove Yang Ming's failure and his own success.

But Yang Ming was not swayed by his words.

He knew very well that this was just an attack by Jia Dongxu to cover up his inner anxiety and jealousy. He responded calmly and did not let Jia Dongxu's provocation succeed.

Yi Zhonghai was watching all this from the sidelines, frowning. He knew Jia Dongxu's character and his hostility towards Yang Ming. But he did not say anything to stop it, but chose to watch silently. Perhaps, he also wanted to see how Yang Ming would deal with all this.

The workers around gradually gathered together, whispering to each other, full of speculation and curiosity about Yang Ming's return.

But Yang Ming didn't care about these. He knew his goal clearly - to become an indispensable technical talent in the steel rolling mill.

Only in this way can he truly win the respect and recognition of others.

"Do you finally understand... that what I said is not just empty talk?"

"well.…"

“Young people may lose their way occasionally, but as long as they truly repent, they deserve to be forgiven.”

"In the future at the steel mill, you need to work diligently. If you have any confusion, you may wish to discuss it with me or Dongxu."

"Although your family doesn't interact much with the neighbors in the courtyard, as neighbors, it is our duty to support each other."

Although Yi Zhonghai's words were firm, they invisibly portrayed Yang Ming as someone who was "dependent on his wife and had no ambition to make progress".

He even deliberately mentioned that Yang Ming's family had a distant relationship with the neighbors, intending to leave a bad impression on others. After hearing this, the workers around him actually believed it a little, and looked at Yang Ming with a bit of disdain in their eyes.

At this moment, “Why are there so many people gathered here?”

The person who spoke was Director Xu from the maintenance department. He saw a group of workers gathered together, with Yang Ming, Yi Zhonghai, Jia Dongxu and others standing in the middle, and he couldn't help but squeeze into the crowd out of curiosity.

"Yang Ming, why are you here?"

"I'm a university intern and was assigned here." Yang Ming took out the school's letter of introduction and student ID from his backpack to prove his identity.

"It is our honor that top students from Yenching University come to our steel mill for internship!"

"If I had known this, I would have informed the factory director and prepared a grand welcoming ceremony for you!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the workers on the scene were in an uproar.

Of course, they had heard of the reputation of Yenching University.

In this era, even high school students are often trained as reserve cadres, not to mention college students who graduated from prestigious universities?

Previously, Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai's words had made them mistakenly believe that Yang Ming was a lazy man who depended on his wife. At this moment, everyone cast reproachful glances at Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai.

"Jia Dongxu, what did you just say?"

"Yi Zhonghai, you actually called the top students of Yenching University as misguided?"

"Then please tell me, what is the true right path?"

Facing everyone's questioning, although Jia Dongxu was dissatisfied, he still tried to maintain a tough attitude.

"Humph, no matter how great Yang Ming is, he still has to start as an intern!"

He glared at Yang Ming and threatened, "Just wait and see. If you are assigned to a workshop, my master and I will definitely let you see the rules of the workplace!"

Next to him, Yi Zhonghai heard this and couldn't help but have an ominous premonition in his heart. He was about to stop Jia Dongxu, the outspoken teammate, but heard a majestic voice coming from behind the crowd.

"Oh? I want to see how you plan to teach Engineer Yang?"

I saw a middle-aged man with a square face walking into the crowd accompanied by several people.

The originally noisy atmosphere became silent in an instant, as if time had frozen at this moment.

In fact, everyone present was familiar with this middle-aged man. He was the newly appointed director of the steel rolling mill, named Yang Jianguo.

"Director, why are you here?"

There was a hint of nervousness and uneasiness in Yi Zhonghai's eyes, and the doubts in his heart surged like waves.

In daily interactions, Director Yang always showed a certain degree of closeness and respect for Yi Zhonghai, a master who was expected to break through to the eighth-level fitter. But today, he seemed to completely ignore Yi Zhonghai's existence, walked straight towards Yang Ming, and took the initiative to extend his hand.

"Comrade Yang Ming, I am Yang Jianguo, the director of the steel mill. I am deeply honored that you came to our steel mill for internship. I was negligent and did not greet you in person before. I apologize to you here."

Someone nearby explained in a low voice: "Engineer Yang, the factory manager originally planned to pick you up at your residence in person, but he didn't expect you to come first."

After hearing this, Yang Ming nodded slightly to show his understanding.

Regardless of whether Director Yang did this out of sincerity or for other purposes, his attitude at this moment was indeed sincere.

Therefore, Yang Ming also responded with the same sincerity: "Director Yang, you may not know that I used to be a member of the steel rolling mill, and this place means a lot to me. When I learned that I was going to come here for an internship, I just wanted to keep a low profile and didn't want to attract too much attention."

To the listeners, this sentence seemed to have a different meaning.

It's as if to say: "I wanted to keep a low profile, but you made it impossible for me to keep a low profile."

"Comrade Yang Ming is really humble." Yang Jianguo praised, then he swept his eyes through the crowd and frowned slightly.

"About what happened today..."

"It is true that I was negligent in my management, which led to Comrade Yang Ming being treated unfairly."

He looked at Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai sternly, with dissatisfaction in his eyes.

"Everyone, please allow me to introduce you."

"Comrade Yang Ming is not only an outstanding student of the Engineering Department of Yenching University, but also obtained a ninth-level engineer certificate while at school, as well as a number of skill certifications such as eighth-level fitter, eighth-level maintenance worker, eighth-level forger, and eighth-level welder."

"His arrival is not only a personal honor for me, but also a source of pride for our entire steel mill."
