Chapter 22: Yi Zhonghai, who is too embarrassed to see anyone
Jia Dongxu felt that what he had done was impeccable.
Those people who were watching the fun and murmuring on the sidelines were just there to watch the show and were not afraid of any trouble.
He couldn't get angry and make a fool of himself by these people.
But as an apprentice, Jia Dongxu had to express his opinion when his master was beaten.
So he shouted righteously: "Comrade security guard, we must catch this young man and teach him a lesson. He dared to beat up the workers at the gate of our factory!"
"Is there still king's law? Is there still heavenly law?"
The voice was so loud that it drowned out the doubts of others.
The security guard looked at Chen Jianye with an interrogative look.
If Chen Jianye doesn't give him an explanation, he will definitely not let Chen Jianye get away easily.
"Comrade security guard, I beat Yi Zhonghai for a reason."
"Everyone listen, Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu and I live in the same courtyard. My father is Chen Tuntian, a fitter at the steel mill. He died in the factory three days ago. My mother also died yesterday."
"Yi Zhonghai, as the elder of the dean, didn't care about my replacement. Today, I walked to the gate of the steel rolling mill and asked the security guard to stop me according to the rules. Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu followed me all the way, waiting for me to be humiliated and laughed at me."
"Everyone, tell me, should I smoke Yi Zhonghai?"
Chen Jianye laid the matter out in the open.
Anyway, it’s not him who is embarrassed.
"Master Yi went too far in this matter, deliberately hiding it from the young man."
"As an elder, you should give some advice to the younger generation, especially since this young man is really miserable."
"Yi Zhonghai's actions were not respectful. He is still too young and easily impulsive."
Everyone gave their opinions.
"So, you do have a reason, but you shouldn't hit anyone."
"It depends on whether Master Yi will hold you accountable for this matter."
The security guard thought for a moment and looked at Yi Zhonghai.
But the contempt in his eyes betrayed his inner thoughts.
The security guard also felt ashamed of Yi Zhonghai's behavior.
I followed this guy all the way here just to laugh at him. How rude of me.
"I can take responsibility. The leader of the steel mill is here, and I said the same thing."
"If they think that what I did was wrong, I will apologize to Yi Zhonghai and the medical expenses will not be a problem."
Chen Jianye's tone was very firm.
"Humph."
Yi Zhonghai was too embarrassed to bear it, so he snorted coldly and left.
He did something dirty, but he didn't dare let the leaders of the steel mill know.
Jia Dongxu quickly followed.
"Young man, Master Yi won't hold you accountable, so go do what you need to do."
"Don't be too impulsive. I just heard you say that your father is a fitter. You are here to take over the job, so you are also a fitter, right?"
The security guard asked a few more questions.
"Yes, I am the fitter."
Chen Jianye nodded.
He took out a pack of Daqianmen from his pocket and handed it over politely: "Thank you for what you did just now."
"Why thank you? You are about the same age as my son. I will talk to you for a few more words."
"Since you are going to be a fitter in the future, you shouldn't get angry with Master Yi. He is a master fitter in our steel mill."
"There are only three level eight fitters in our factory, and each one of them is very popular."
"If he is willing to teach you, it will save you a lot of trouble."
The security guard took the cigarette and gave some casual instructions.
"I don't have a good relationship with him, and I don't want anything from him. I'm too lazy to curry favor with him."
Chen Jianye smiled faintly.
"Hey, you're too young to be friends, but you can be colleagues."
"At least don't be enemies."
"You and Master Yi are enemies. He has a lot of experience and connections, and he has plenty of ways to mess with you."
The security guard lowered his voice and warned.
"Thank you, uncle. I will keep a low profile after I take over the post."
"Do your job well, get paid, and don't mess with other people."
Chen Jianye received instruction.
There is no point in saying more, it is better to just go along with what the other person says.
Sure enough, the security guard was even happier and felt that Chen Jianye was a teachable kid.
After smoking a cigarette, Chen Jianye waved his hand and left, heading for the district’s street office.
This trip took him more than thirty minutes.
During the several kilometers journey, Chen Jianye saw many characteristics unique to this era.
For example, a house with blue bricks, black tiles, and moss growing at the corners of the walls.
The slogans painted on the walls include "Serve the People" and "Break Feudal Superstitions".
There are also occasional bicycles passing by, ringing their bells.
In this era, bicycles are very valuable and are considered a big household item.
There are more than ten households living in the courtyard, but not a single one has a bicycle.
Chen Jianye remembered that it seemed that a few years later, Yan Fugui would get a Fei Ge brand bicycle.
From then on, he looked down on everyone in the hospital.
'It would be nice to have a bicycle built.'
Chen Jianye said secretly.
As he walked, he admired the scenery of the times along the way.
At this moment, there were some new situations in the first shift of fitters in a workshop of the steel rolling mill.
Normally in the morning, before going to work, the team leader will hold a small meeting.
The main thing is to clarify the staffing arrangements. In case someone takes leave, someone will have to do the work in that person's position.
Or some leader comes to the steel mill and asks us to pay attention to work discipline or something like that.
"Jia Dongxu, where is Master Yi?"
The team leader didn't see Yi Zhonghai and asked loudly.
"My master is feeling a little unwell, so he won't be attending the morning meeting today."
Jia Dongxu replied.
"It's not serious, is it?"
The team leader asked with concern.
Yi Zhonghai is the best fitter in the fitter class. It is no exaggeration to say that he is the most skilled fitter in the class.
Even though Yi Zhonghai spent most of his time teaching his apprentices and didn't do much work.
But with Yi Zhonghai around, the team leader feels at ease and has the confidence to take on even the most difficult tasks.
"Nothing serious."
Jia Dongxu said quickly.
The team leader expressed his concern and then continued the meeting as normal.
After that, everyone was put to work.
Before Jia Dongxu returned to his post, he went to a corner to find Yi Zhonghai and told him that the meeting was over.
"Then go and do your work. Don't worry about me today."
Yi Zhonghai ordered.
The fingerprints on his cheek had not faded yet, and he couldn't let anyone else see them no matter what.
So embarrassing.
"Master, why are you hiding? If it were me, you should stand up."
"Let everyone see it."
Jia Dongxu encouraged.
Yi Zhonghai's face turned black.
I'm in this state now. If everyone sees me, they will definitely laugh at me.
"Master, think about it, Chen Jianye has gone to the street office to go through the replacement process, and he will definitely come to the unit tomorrow."
"Why don't we take this opportunity..."
Jia Dongxu paused and said.
Yi Zhonghai's expression changed constantly, and finally he decided to listen to Jia Dongxu and walked in front of everyone with a swagger.
"Old Yi, what happened? Are you being punished?"
"Who slapped you in the face? I told you that you refused to attend the morning meeting."
"Old Yi, this slap was not light. There are five finger marks on your face."
A group of experienced fitters asked with a smile.
The young fitter saw the fingerprints on Yi Zhonghai's face and didn't dare to ask in front of Yi Zhonghai, so a few people gathered together to chat secretly.
"Don't mention it. I got fucked by a kid at the door today."
Yi Zhonghai touched his cheek and felt more and more annoyed.
"Who?"
"Which guy is so awesome? Which workshop is he from?"
"Can you spoil him?"
Several old fitters became even more interested.
"It's Chen Jianye, the son of Chen Tuntian. My master is an elder, so I won't argue with him."
"He's taking advantage of me."
"If my master hadn't stopped me, I would have taught him a lesson."
Jia Dongxu said with an indignant look on his face.
Establish your personality as an apprentice and share the worries of your master.
