Siheyuan: The beauty Xueru Huizhen, the birds are jealous

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing I want to discuss with you." Yang Jianguo suddenly remembered another important matter, "The factory plans to evaluate and grade the technical capabilities of the workers recently. I originally planned to invite outside experts to supervise the examination, but considering your professional skills and rich experience, I think it is more appropriate for you to serve as the chief examiner."

When Yang Ming heard the news, he couldn't help but think of Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai. He felt that this assessment might bring him some unexpected opportunities.

"Evaluation and grading of technical capabilities?" Yang Ming pondered for a moment, a gleam in his eyes, "This is indeed an important matter. I remember hearing someone mention it before, Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai also signed up to participate."

A few days later, the steel mill was bustling with activity as workers signed up for the upcoming technical competence assessment. Registration was not random, and preliminary selection was required in each workshop. The workshop director then compiled the list and submitted it to the factory. The factory would arrange the appropriate assessment time based on the number of applicants and the type of work.

For workers below level 6, the rolling mill is qualified to conduct the assessment. However, for the assessment of senior technicians from level 6 to level 8, one to three level 8 technicians need to be invited to participate in the assessment. Originally, Director Yang planned to invite external level 8 technicians to assist, but now that Yang Ming has joined, this step is naturally omitted.

Among the workers who signed up, the master and apprentice pair of Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu stood out.

Jia Dongxu said to Yi Zhonghai confidently: "Master, you will definitely be able to obtain the qualification of eighth-level fitter in one fell swoop this time...When the time comes, both the factory director and others will look at you with new eyes. As for Yang Ming, he just got lucky. If he hadn't been admitted to Yenching University, he wouldn't know where he would be now."

Master, please believe me, I will do my best this time to win dignity for you. Jia Dongxu's eyes were firm and his face was full of confidence.

However, at this moment, the master and the disciple unexpectedly discovered a person they were extremely reluctant to see, who was actually sitting in the examiner's seat.

Yang Ming?

How could this happen?

Jia Dongxu's voice suddenly became trembling, and he looked at Yi Zhonghai helplessly.

Although Yi Zhonghai felt panicked inside, he still tried to remain calm under the watchful eyes of his disciples and the public.

Dongxu, relax. He comforted him, even if Yang Ming is the chief examiner, under so many eyes, he dare not easily be unfair to us. As long as our skills are up to standard, what can he do to us?

Although Jia Dongxu nodded, the expression on his face was as if he had been struck by a bolt from the blue, and his inner panic was difficult to conceal.

The test bell rang.

Workers who are taking the second-level fitter assessment, please follow the roll call and bring your tools to the stage.

A middle-aged examiner holding a roster began to call out names.

With Yi Zhonghai's encouragement, Jia Dongxu took a deep breath and stepped onto the test stage. He noticed Yang Ming's playful look and his heart tightened.

Yang Ming announced the test questions in public.

The workers began to operate according to the drawings and parts parameters.

Although Jia Dongxu tried his best to follow the instructions, he always felt that someone was staring at him, and he could even hear the faint laughter.

Wow!

Under tremendous psychological pressure, Jia Dongxu lost his grip and the parts in his hand slipped and were damaged.

Jia Dongxu, failed.

The supervising examiner announced the result directly.

Jia Dongxu walked off the stage in a daze as if he had been hit by a sledgehammer, and even lost the courage to look at Yi Zhonghai.

At this time, the workers around began to whisper.

This Jia Dongxu seems to be Yi Zhonghai's apprentice, right?

That’s right. After following Master Yi for so many years, I can’t even pass the second-level fitter level. It’s such a pity.

He broke the parts as soon as he got on the stage. This level is not even as good as an apprentice, let alone a first-class fitter. What a mediocre person!

These discussions cut Jia Dongxu's heart like a knife, and he just wanted to find a place to hide.

Yi Zhonghai patted Jia Dongxu's shoulder gently. Although he was disappointed with his apprentice's performance,

Considering his own retirement and the future of the Jia family, he decided to continue supporting Jia Dongxu.

"Dongxu, relax."

"It's just a small setback, why be afraid?"

"Next month, we can regroup and challenge again." However, just as Yi Zhonghai's words dissipated in the air, Yang Ming on the stage suddenly stood up and glanced at everyone with sharp eyes.

"I have an important decision to announce here."

“In view of the fact that some workers are lacking in skills and are taking shortcuts, I have decided that from now on, workers who fail the assessment will be punished.

, will be prohibited from participating in any work-level assessments in the next three months."

This statement immediately caused an uproar among the workers. However, they did not point the finger at Yang Ming, but instead quickly focused their attention on Jia Dongxu, recalling his poor performance in the assessment.

"It's all Jia Dongxu's fault!"

"If he had not been so unskilled but insisted on participating, how could we all be implicated like this?"

"Everyone should take the test seriously in the future. If you fail once, you will not be able to take the test again within three months. The loss is too great."

"You're right. Jia Dongxu is the black sheep who corrupted the whole atmosphere!"

"If I were him, I would have been so ashamed that I would have found a corner to hide away instead of embarrassing myself here." These sharp accusations and ridicules were like cold arrows, mercilessly shot at Jia Dongxu.

His face turned pale as paper in an instant, and the pressure he was under inside was as heavy as a mountain pressing down on his head.

Finally, amidst the laughter and sarcasm of the crowd, Jia Dongxu could no longer bear it, spat out a mouthful of blood, and then fainted on the ground.

"Dongxu!"

Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai, although he was dissatisfied with Jia Dongxu's mistake, still hurried forward to check. After confirming that he was still breathing, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked around for help.

However, the workers present were dissatisfied with the strictness of the assessment because of Jia Dongxu's mistakes. Coupled with his poor performance in the factory on weekdays, naturally no one was willing to lend a helping hand.

In desperation, Yi Zhonghai could only call Sha Zhu, and the two of them worked together to carry Jia Dongxu to the infirmary.

"Uncle, how come Brother Dongxu fainted just after taking an exam?" Sha Zhu asked in confusion. Yi Zhonghai hesitated, having trouble finding the right words.

He certainly couldn't say that Jia Dongxu fainted because he couldn't bear the pressure from everyone.

Time passed to the afternoon and the assessment began again.

As the difficulty increases, the number of workers involved gradually decreases.

"Next is the eighth-level fitter assessment. Workers whose names are called, please come to the stage and prepare."

"Workshop 1: Yi Zhonghai, Zhao Guoqiang, and Wang Jianshe."

"Workshop 4, Liao Guoping and Li Xiangqian."

"Workshop 6, He Yongsheng and Zhao Gaofeng."

A total of seven level 7 fitters participated in this level 8 fitter assessment.
