the other side.

Yi Zhonghai came to the office of workshop director Deng Chaoquan.

"Director, something happened at Jia Dongxu's home. I'll ask for leave for him."

Deng Chaoquan was busy with his work, and when he heard Yi Zhonghai's words, he just casually responded, "Ask for leave? Sure, I'll make a note of it!"

He was about to pick up a pen to write down the name, but he repeated in confusion: "Who wants to ask for leave?"

"Jia Dongxu." Yi Zhonghai responded.

"Jia Dongxu." Deng Chaoquan raised his head and looked at Yi Zhonghai, his expression becoming serious.

He frowned and asked in confusion: "Jia Dongxu? Isn't he a first-class worker? He usually does things just barely pass the test. Why did he ask for leave this time?"

"Something happened at Jia Dongxu's family, so he had to take a leave," Yi Zhonghai explained.

Deng Chaoquan nodded and pretended to be concerned, "I don't know what happened. Do you need the factory to come out and express condolences?"

"That's not necessary." Yi Zhonghai said politely, "It's not a big deal, just deal with it, the factory doesn't need to worry about it."

"Okay then, I'll approve Jia Dongxu's leave." Deng Chaoquan replied.

He picked up a pen, signed his name on the leave application, and handed it to Yi Zhong.

If other workers asked for leave, Deng Chaoquan might not even ask and would approve it directly.

But this time it was Jia Dongxu who asked for leave, so he had to be more cautious.

After all, Jia Dongxu's work performance has always been unsatisfactory, and the workpieces are only barely qualified.

He was worried that if something happened to Jia Dongxu, it might affect the production of the entire workshop and steel rolling mill.

It doesn’t matter if something happens to him, as long as it doesn’t affect the workshop and the steel mill.

Deng Chaoquan lowered his head to handle official business, flipped open a document, and immediately frowned.

"Mr. Yi, wait a minute!" Deng Chaoquan suddenly stopped Yi Zhonghai who was about to leave.

Yi Zhonghai stopped and looked back at the workshop director: "Director, what's the matter?"

Deng Chaoquan said: "It's nothing. Although Jia Dongxu has asked for leave, someone still needs to do his task."

"Since Yigong is here, let's help him. It's a first-class workpiece anyway, so it's not difficult for Yigong. It will only take an hour or so."

"I hope Yi Gong won't mind. If so, forget it. I can let someone else do it."

Listening to Deng Chaoquan's aggressive tone, how could Yi Zhonghai not hear it?

Judging from the tone of his voice, Jia Dongxu is determined to complete his task no matter what.

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai smiled slightly and said:

"Director, what are you saying? Jia Dongxu is my apprentice. If the apprentice is not here, then naturally the master will help. What's the big deal?"

The director nodded with satisfaction when he heard this answer. "It's great that Mr. Yi thinks so. Thank you very much."

"It's not a big deal. This is my job."

"It's getting late, Director, I'm leaving first!" Yi Zhonghai said, then turned and left.

Deng Chaoquan looked at Yi Zhonghai and his face instantly turned gloomy.

He picked up a document on the table, which was a report provided by the Logistics Department.

It clearly records the scrapping of Jia Dongxu's workpieces last week, and the numbers are shocking.

Jia Dongxu alone scrapped dozens of workpieces, which directly led to a sharp increase in the scrap rate in the workshop.

"What's the business of Jia Dongxu? How on earth could a first-level worker like him scrap so many workpieces?" the workshop director couldn't help but scold.

"Even a first-level workpiece can have so many mistakes. I really want to rip Jia Dongxu's head open and see how his brain is made!"

The director still finds it hard to believe. Looking at the strings of numbers on the data, he wonders how Jia Dongxu could have scrapped so many first-level workpieces by himself.

The amount of scrapped work done by him is equal to the total amount of scrapped work done by four or five first-level workers, and this is calculated based on the workers who have just been promoted to first-level workers.

"If he didn't have a good master, Yi Zhonghai, I would have fired him long ago." The director said indignantly.

"This kid must have figured out that I would punish him today, so he asked Yi Zhonghai to ask for leave for him."

Deng Chaoquan couldn't help but curse. It was only the second week and the scrap rate had been raised by Jia Dongxu. By the end of the month, the number would probably be even higher.

This month, don’t worry about the workshop benefits. It’s good enough if we’re not at the bottom.

The reason why the director asked Yi Zhonghai to do it was to prevent Jia Dongxu from making more and more mistakes, so he had to let Yi Zhonghai do it for him.

After leaving the office, Yi Zhonghai did not return to his job immediately.

Yi Zhonghai left the office, having no idea that he was in trouble because of Jia Dongxu.

Yi Zhonghai thought to himself, "Could it be that even Deng Chaoquan looks down on me?"

But soon, he rejected the idea.

"No, I'm only a level 7 worker, and there aren't many people in the workshop who are better than me. It shouldn't be like this. It seems the problem lies with Jia Dongxu."

In the workshop, he tried his best to create the image of a moral gentleman, responding to everyone's requests and always trying his best to help others.

Therefore, he won everyone's respect and love. He was considered a good guy and no one was against him.

Then the matter could only happen to Jia Dongxu.

"Jia Dongxu! Jia Dongxu!" A cold light flashed in Yi Zhonghai's eyes.

"It seems that I still can't help too much."

Yi Zhonghai glanced at Jia Dongxu's task, and then took out the workpiece.

Compared with the first-level workpiece, the seventh-level workpiece is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and mentally demanding. Yi Zhonghai completed the easy first-level workpiece first.

At the same time, Lou Zhenhua and a group of leaders went deep into the first workshop of the steel rolling mill.

I saw a master wearing blue work clothes and holding tools. He completed a workpiece skillfully and quickly, as if flowing water.

Lou Zhenhua's eyes lit up, and he pointed at Yi Zhonghai and said:

"Director Lu, the steel rolling mill is getting better and better. Even operating the workpiece can be done so easily."

Director Lu looked in the direction of Lou Zhenhua's finger and saw that the workpiece in Yi Zhonghai's hand had been polished to be as smooth as jade.

Looking at the workpiece in my hand again, it turned out to be a first-level workpiece.

"Director Lou, Engineer Yi is working on a first-class workpiece. How can he not do it smoothly?" Factory Director Lu explained with a smile.

Lou Zhenhua nodded slightly, but suddenly asked, "Level 1 workpiece? I remember that Yi Gong was a Level 6 worker. How come he is working on a Level 1 workpiece now? I haven't been here for just a few months. Are there so many Level 6 workers in the factory?"

There was a hint of questioning in Lou Zhenhua's tone. After all, letting a high-level worker do low-level workpieces is undoubtedly a waste of productivity.

Director Lu quickly explained, "Director Lou, you misunderstood. This engineer Yi is now a level 7 worker and is the one who has the greatest hope of being promoted to level 8 in our factory."

"Oh?" Lou Zhenhua was slightly surprised. "Engineer Yi is a level 7 worker, so why would he work on a level 1 workpiece? Is there some misunderstanding?"

Director Lu nodded: "Yes, Director Lou. There must be some misunderstanding here."

"Engineer Yi did not make any mistakes, and we will not let him make first-level workpieces. We can ask Engineer Yi for the specific situation."

Hearing this, Lou Zhenhua realized that there must be some hidden story here, so he stepped forward to ask.

"Yi Gong!"

Yi Zhonghai looked up and was surprised to see that it was a group of leaders.

"Director Lou, why are you here?" Yi Zhonghai asked respectfully. After all, he was his old boss and Yi Zhonghai knew him.

Lou Zhenhua smiled and explained: "Nothing, just came to take a look."

"By the way, Yigong, I remember you are a level 7 worker. Are you working on a level 1 workpiece? Are you encountering any problems?"

Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai looked at Lou Zhenhua, then at the leaders behind him.

Director Lu and the others were originally curious, but their hearts suddenly skipped a beat.

A normal person would answer directly if there was nothing wrong, but Yi Zhonghai was playing hard to get so he didn't answer first.

Whether he had his own reasons or not, he had them now.

He deliberately put on an innocent expression and explained, "Director Lou, I don't have any difficulties."

"I have no hardship, so what are you doing?" Lou Zhenhua pointed at the workpiece.

Yi Zhonghai explained: "This is the workpiece of my apprentice. Something happened at home and he can't come to work temporarily. The workshop is so busy.

"We can't let the production progress fall behind because of him. So, I will help him complete the task." "Is that so!" Lou Zhenhua suddenly realized.

Director Lu and others felt relieved.

After hearing this explanation, Lou Zhenhua suddenly understood and exclaimed:

"I see. Yi Gong is truly a man of high character. For the sake of the production progress of the workshop, he actually completed the workpiece for his apprentice himself. This spirit is worth learning for all of us."

When Yi Zhonghai heard the leader's praise, he just smiled modestly and said, "This is what I should do. The leader is overpraising me."

Director Lu walked quickly towards Yi Zhonghai and asked with concern:

"Mr. Yi, what happened to your apprentice? Do you need help? The factory can do its part."

Yi Zhonghai smiled and waved his hand: "Director Lu, thank you for your concern, but it's actually nothing serious. Jia Dongxu can handle these things himself."

Deputy Director Yang also came over and said in a friendly manner: "Mr. Yi, you don't have to be so polite. Your apprentice is also a member of our steel rolling mill. If you have any difficulties, just tell us and we can solve them together."

Yi Zhonghai declined again: "Really, no need, Deputy Director Yang. This is Jia Dongxu's family affair. As outsiders, it's probably not appropriate for us to interfere."

As he spoke, a meaningful light flashed in Yi Zhonghai's eyes, as if hinting at something that was inconvenient to say out loud.

Everyone understood immediately and couldn't help but smile knowingly. This was really difficult to deal with.

"There's really no way to deal with this, right, Director Lu?" Lou Zhenhua also responded.

"Yes, it's really not easy to interfere in family affairs like this." Director Lu nodded in agreement.

Everyone looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

Lou Zhenhua also added: "Mr. Yi, since this is your apprentice's personal matter, we will not ask about it."

"You should let other workers do these first-level workpieces. You also have important tasks to do."

Yi Zhonghai shook his head firmly: "Director Lou, these workpieces were originally the responsibility of Jia Dongxu. As his master, I have the responsibility to help him complete them."

"Besides, other workers also have their own work to do, and we can't let them suffer in vain."

"Besides, these first-level workpieces are not difficult. Just think of it as a change of mind. It won't take up much time."

Hearing Yi Zhonghai's righteous words, the leaders present couldn't help but respect him.

Director Lu sincerely praised: "Mr. Yi, you have such a state of mind, which is really the pride of our steel mill."

He turned to the other workers and called out: "The selfless dedication and sense of responsibility of the Yi workers is an example that all of us should learn from!"

"Bah, bang, bang—" applause rang out.

"Good good!"

"What Yi Gong said makes sense. We should learn from him."

"Yeah, why didn't I think of that? My apprentice has also asked for leave today. Don't do it. I will do it myself. I can't trouble you."

A group of workers were impressed by Yi Zhonghai's "spirit" and their impression of him immediately improved.

Especially those junior workers, because some of them took leave, the work pieces of those who took leave were assigned to them.

Thanks to Yi Zhonghai's few words, they no longer had any extra work to do and could feel a lot more relaxed.

Under the influence of Yi Zhonghai's "spirit", the working atmosphere of the entire steel rolling mill has become more harmonious.

Director Lu and others could not help but nod when they saw the workers were excited and looking thriving. They had an even higher opinion of Yi Zhonghai.

"I'm not as good as you, Mr. Yi, in thinking this way." Lou Zhenhua praised.
Yi Zhonghai said modestly: "Director Lou, you are too kind. I am just an ordinary worker and there is only so much I can do. Compared with your original achievements, I am far behind."

"Mr. Yi, you are too modest." Lou Zhenhua felt very happy.

After chatting for a while, Lou Zhenhua and a group of leaders continued to the next place for inspection.

Before leaving, Director Lu glared at the workshop director Deng Chaoquan seriously and whispered, "After Director Lou leaves, go to my office."

Deng Chaoquan stood there in a daze for a moment, sweat dripping down his forehead.

Public toilet.

"He Yuzhu, you usually don't clean thoroughly and are always sneaky and slippery, so I won't bother with you today."

"But today, no matter what, you have to clean it thoroughly, spotlessly."

"The leader is coming to inspect today. If you make me get punished because of you, I'll show you how I'll deal with you!"

Niu Laxi's words were full of threats and warnings, but Sha Zhu didn't seem to care.

He glared at Niu Laxi and cursed: "Niu Laxi, damn it, how dare you talk to me like this, do you think I give you face normally?"

Sha Zhu pointed at Niu Laxi and cursed angrily, then picked up the broom and started to work.

"Okay, Shazhu, you can do it. Just wait for me." Niu Laxi turned around and ran.

Sha Zhu single-handedly convinced Niu Laxi.

Cleaning is a tiring and dirty job. After cleaning for several months, Sha Zhu gained some experience and successfully defeated Niu Laxi.

From then on, Sha Zhu's work became much easier.

Originally I was responsible for cleaning three toilets, but now I only have to clean one, which is the largest one.

It’s not that Shazhu doesn’t want the smallest one, but once he chooses the smallest toilet, he cannot guarantee the cleanliness of other toilets.

He will inevitably be punished at that time, so after weighing the pros and cons, he can only choose the biggest one.

"Damn it, he actually dared to yell in front of me. I guess I have to find time to beat this guy up next time." Sha Zhu cursed.

"Fuck, how do these people go to the toilet? They peed all over the floor. If I knew who peed like this, I would kill him."

Sha Zhu was cleaning the toilet with a mop while cursing.

No matter how much you curse, you still have to do your job.

"Damn it, if it weren't for Li Kailang, I wouldn't have to do this dirty work!"

Sha Zhu got furious and swung the mop violently.

"And this Zhao Qiming, I just scolded him a few times, but did I really need to make him sweep the toilet for so long?"

Sha Zhu kicked the bucket away.

"boom!!!"

Suddenly, the whole toilet was wet, and even a large area outside was wet.

"Damn it!" Sha Zhu was still furious. He threw and kicked everything in the toilet, venting his anger on these objects.

After a while, Sha Zhu's anger finally subsided.

"Damn, it's so dirty and I still have to clean it." Sha Zhu cursed.

Looking at the messy and dirty public toilet, I could only pick up my things and start cleaning.

While cleaning, Sha Zhu cursed Li Kailang, Zhao Qiming, and Jia Dongxu.

Just when Sha Zhu was concentrating on cleaning the public toilet, Lou Zhenhua and others passed by.

"This comrade has cleaned the house very well! Look how hard he cleaned," Lou Zhenhua exclaimed.

Li Huaide also agreed: "Yes, this is the largest toilet in our steel mill, and it receives many people every day. If it is not cleaned, everyone's mood will be affected."

"Yes, it is true. A good environment can affect people's mood and work efficiency. I didn't think of this at the beginning." Lou Zhenhua said with deep emotion.

"Deputy Director Li can think of this, I am not as good as you!"

"Director Lou, thank you for the compliment. I didn't say anything. It's all thanks to the cleaners," Li Huaide responded modestly.

The leaders did not stay for long and just passed by the public toilet.

After all, the toilet has not been cleaned yet, and there are a lot of them, so they can't go to the toilet together.

Everyone just stared at each other, which was so awkward.

Sha Zhu continued to clean the toilet busily, completely unaware of what had just happened.

As he cleaned, he cursed those who asked him to clean the toilet.

If Shazhu vented his anger a little longer, they would see the messy toilet.

By then, they would have a bad first impression of Sha Zhu, and it was not certain whether Deputy Director Yang would take him to meet the big boss.

However, it is precisely because of this that the leaders have left a deep impression on Sha Zhu.

Perhaps it was because of his hard work and seriousness that he received an important reward.
