Chapter 6 Successful Exam
Steel rolling mill gate
Yesterday’s good news and big red flowers are still there, and a brand new sign has also been hung up - Sijiucheng Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.
"Good morning, Dr. Lin!"
"Uncle Wang, this is great! The guards have all had their uniforms replaced with new ones."
Old Wang chuckled and said, "The organization just distributed them yesterday. Ermao Factory sent several truckloads of new work clothes yesterday. Your infirmary has some too!"
"It doesn't matter to us. We'll still be wearing white coats. I won't talk to you anymore. I definitely have a meeting today so I'll go to work first."
"Okay, see you later"
……
When Lin Chen arrived, he found that the infirmary was officially renamed the Medical Department.
nine o'clock
The first meeting of the Medical Department was over. As Lin Chen had guessed, the steel mill began a major change today. Not only the leaders had to be replaced, but all the workers had to retake the rating assessment. After the assessment, the salary would be assessed according to the new work level...
After returning to their posts,
"Xiao Lin, which level of medical examination are you going to take?"
Lin Chen smiled and said, "Of course the higher the better. Didn't our section chief just say that a level 6 worker gets 77 yuan a month?"
"Xiao Lin is telling the truth, but it's not easy to pass the exam for a Level 6 doctor! Just think about it, our steel mill has a maximum of Level 6 doctors. Any higher will be transferred to big hospitals and the military."
"Xiao Lin, the battle on the other side of Yajiang River is intense. Why don't we sign up to be military doctors? We can get military merits when we come back..."
Lin Chen sighed: "I may not be able to sign up now. Someone introduced me to a date yesterday. We will get married in two days. I promised grandpa that I would leave a descendant for the Lin family. So I will wait until my wife is pregnant before I join the army..."
Lin Chen dared not say anything negative or cowardly, even though the situation was not tense at the moment. But if someone found out about you a few years later, they would still punish you...
So I could only politely refuse. Anyway, I couldn't fight for long. I had a system, but I was still a mortal. Bullets on the battlefield don't have eyes, so I had better be careful and don't mess around. If I do it again, I might not be lucky enough to have a system...
When several colleagues heard that Lin Chen was going to get married, the topic of joining the army was immediately put aside.
"Sure! Let us see the new bride someday..."
Lin Chen smiled and said, "No problem. After we get the certificate, I'll set up a table for all of you to come."
……
That afternoon, Lin Chen filled out the application form for the Level 6 physician qualification exam and submitted it.
"At present, Yi Junzi and Liu Pi can only pass the fifth-level worker exam. Let's wait until I pass the sixth-level worker and see if they will still show off to me. Let's try to act like a superior man again..."
……
Two days later
Saturday
The whole factory conducted an intense work-level examination.
Lin Chen easily passed the theoretical written test in the morning, and passed the fracture injury treatment test in the afternoon with ease.
In this way, Lin Chen successfully passed the examination and became a level 6 physician.
"Lin Chen, congratulations! The biggest dark horse in the factory this time is actually in our medical department. You have been promoted directly from a first-level worker to a sixth-level worker. This is unique in the factory! Secretary Wan will personally give you a certificate and award certificate later..."
Lin Chen just smiled after hearing this. What he wanted was to leave an impression on the factory leaders. Only in this way could he have the opportunity to come into contact with more opportunities...
……
Evening
The news that Lin Chen passed the sixth-level worker exam spread throughout the courtyard.
The highest salary in the hospital was announced - Lin Chen was a level 6 doctor. Yi Zhonghai passed the exam for a level 5 fitter, while Liu Haizhong was only level 4. The women began to discuss...
"Seventy-seven yuan a month is not enough to spend even if you roll around! We are all young people, but Jia Dongxu and his friends are such losers that they are still apprentices."
Sha Zhu was unhappy after hearing this, because he had just started to be an apprentice...
"You guys are jealous of Lin Chen, can you please not bring us along? Lin Chen is several years older than me, did you know that? In a few years, I'll also be able to get a high salary, so who are you looking down on?"
Xu Damao and Liu Guangqi both helped Sha Zhu to argue with the women in the yard. They were looked down upon before they even entered the factory.
The women in the yard saw that the three boys were not convinced.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about the three of you, okay? Just talk about Jia Dongxu, the loser! They seem to be the same age..."
……
Jia Zhang in the west room was so angry that she stamped her feet when she heard the chattering outside.
She usually praises her son to the sky, but now he is still an apprentice. Lin Chen, who is the same age as Jia Dongxu, quietly gave everyone a big surprise... Jia Zhang's reputation in the courtyard was not good, so everyone took this opportunity to step on Jia Dongxu.
Listening to the discussions at the door, Jia Zhang gritted her teeth and endured it: "Now is not the time to quarrel with these people. I will settle the score with you after I finish the banquet and marry my daughter-in-law home in a few days. Bah... What's so great about it? No matter how great you are, you are still an orphan."
……
Just as Jia Zhang was trying to hold it in, there was another commotion outside.
"Hey, Xiaolin, congratulations! You are really great now... It's different when you pass the exam. You can even buy a new bicycle."
After Lin Chen accepted the award from Secretary Wan in the afternoon, he went directly to Wangfujing Department Store to pick up a bicycle.
"I'm going to pick up my partner tomorrow to get the marriage certificate. I promised my father-in-law that I'd buy him a bicycle after we get married. This time I've spent all my money, and now I'm just waiting for next month's salary to live on."
Yan Bugui looked at the new bicycle and touched it.
"This is a double blessing! Good things..."
Most of the residents in the courtyard had seen Lin Chen or his grandfather for medical treatment, so they were all very polite to him.
This time, Jia Zhang also joined the crowd watching the bicycles and said, "What's the use of bicycles? They are just for getting to work faster. They are not economical at all. My family is going to buy a sewing machine tomorrow. For ordinary people, sewing and mending are more economical."
Everyone looked at Jia Zhang, but no one congratulated her.
Jia Zhang followed the principle that as long as she was not embarrassed, then others would be embarrassed: "Don't be jealous of our Jia family. Patches made by sewing machines are stronger than those sewn by hand."
Lin Chen didn't want to talk to her and hurriedly pushed his bicycle away from the place.
The three young men squatting at the door of Shazhu didn't know what a sewing machine was, because it was something women used. If they had to choose, they would have to choose a bicycle...
The three of them stood up and followed Lin Chen to the backyard.
"Brother Lin Chen, your bicycle is really nice. How much does it cost? It costs 200 yuan!"
"That's about right! Didn't you three go to the factory to watch the fun today?"
Liu Guangqi touched the new bicycle and replied: "We didn't go to see it. It has nothing to do with us. My father said that I can enter the workshop as an apprentice in a few days..."
The three of them were only sixteen or seventeen years old, and the apprentice examination conference had not yet begun, so it naturally had nothing to do with them.
At this time, Jia Dongxu also walked to the moon gate leading to the backyard. As soon as he arrived at the Intermediate Court, he heard that Lin Chen would get his marriage certificate tomorrow and bought a new bicycle...
"Brother Dongxu, come and see the bicycle that Brother Linchen just bought."
Jia Dongxu was already very angry, and on the way back, Yi Zhonghai and the other old guys knew that Lin Chen had passed the sixth-level doctor exam, so they took their anger out on Jia Dongxu. Several of them lectured Jia Dongxu all the way...
"What's the point of making a fuss?" Jia Dongxu said and was about to leave.
Lin Chen smiled and said, "Brother Dongxu, don't forget our bet tomorrow."
Jia Dongxu almost vomited blood after hearing this. There was no good time at all today and he felt depressed wherever he went.
