Chapter 200: Obtaining a Driver's License with an Ambition
Chapter 200: Obtaining a Driver's License with an Ambition
Time passed by unknowingly, and finally it was time to pay salaries and benefits.
Coincidentally, today is Mid-Autumn Festival.
Two good things have happened together, and the steel mill is now in joy.
At this time, Mr. Zhao was folding his arms, gloating and waiting for notification.
Mr. Zhao is now waiting for Deng Chaoquan to say to cancel the benefits so that he can go and make fun of Yi Zhonghai.
Under the expectant gaze of the workshop workers, workshop director Deng Chaoquan came out of his office.
At this time, Deng Chaoquan was also very happy.
Originally, he wanted to use his connections to get benefits, but he didn't expect Yi Zhonghai to step forward, pay for the benefits, and make him some money, saving him a lot of trouble.
"Cough cough~" Deng Chao coughed twice in his throat.
"Today is the day everyone gets their salary. It also happens to be the Mid-Autumn Festival. Everyone has heard the announcement on the radio, so I won't say any more."
"The factory leaders have jointly decided that our steel rolling mill will not be working this afternoon. Everyone can go back home to have a good rest and celebrate the holiday."
"Also, our third workshop has had good production this month. The benefits have not changed. They are still the same as before. We have pork and food coupons!"
"There are still cake tickets. In two days, it will be National Day. Everyone can get 2 taels of meat tickets. I congratulate everyone here!"
As soon as Deng Chaoquan finished speaking, thunderous cheers broke out.
"Great! Not only can we eat meat today, but we can also eat mooncakes!"
"Yes, only 3 taels of meat a month is not enough for us. We can have a good meal tonight! We can also eat mooncakes!"
Although everyone was confident that the workshop would receive the benefits, they were not sure until things were finalized.
I didn’t expect that it would be the Mid-Autumn Festival. I could eat mooncakes and get an extra 3 taels of meat ticket!
Today is really a double happiness! Three happinesses have come together!
Although there is no holiday for Mid-Autumn Festival, it cannot dampen the enthusiasm of the workers.
At the same time, when Mr. Zhao heard the news, his eyes widened in shock.
He quickly walked up to Deng Chaoquan and said directly:
"Director Deng, how can our workshop have benefits? I heard that our workshop's benefits are..."
Engineer Zhao was halfway through his words when he suddenly thought of something, looked at the workers, and suddenly shut up.
As soon as Deng Chaoquan heard what Mr. Zhao said, he was shocked. He didn't expect that Mr. Zhao actually knew about welfare.
"Mr. Zhao, this is what you just said about the benefits?" Deng Chaoquan stared at Mr. Zhao, putting pressure on him.
Engineer Zhao quickly shook his head: "Nothing! Nothing! I'm overthinking!"
After saying this, Mr. Zhao stepped back and retreated into the crowd.
Mr. Zhao's apprentice asked quickly, "Master, what's going on? Didn't you say that there are no benefits in the workshop? What should we do now?"
Knowing that Fu Li was being made fun of, they planned ahead and prepared their words to ridicule Yi Zhonghai on behalf of their master.
They didn't expect that he would die before they could accomplish their mission, their master became silent, and things didn't turn out as they expected.
Engineer Zhao looked impatient: "What can we do? What else can we do? Let's just forget about it!"
After saying this, Mr. Zhao looked at Yi Zhonghai with admiration:
"I didn't expect Yi Zhonghai to be so capable and to settle the matter so quickly!"
The disciples were stunned by the sudden change in their master.
Zhao Gong looked at his apprentice with clear and foolish eyes and said angrily:
"Director Deng has already issued the benefits. The welfare issue must have been settled by Yi Zhonghai. Why should I think too much about it? You are so stupid, really!"
Before, Mr. Zhao would stop talking halfway through his words, not because of Deng Chaoquan’s warning, but because he had figured out the connection.
Since Deng Chaoquan now dares to talk about distributing welfare, the matter must have been settled. It doesn’t matter what he hears, the most important thing is the result.
The result is still the distribution of benefits, so the process is not important.
Deng Chaoquan watched Mr. Zhao retreat and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Fu Li was settled by Yi Zhonghai, he did embezzle some of Yi Zhonghai's money, and this matter cannot be made public.
Seeing that Mr. Zhao was so sensible and left, Deng Chaoquan didn't bother to cause trouble for Mr. Zhao, thinking that less trouble is worse than more.
In stark contrast to the cheering crowd, Yi Zhonghai's expression seemed out of place, his face full of bitterness and pain.
It was his money that was spent so that everyone could get the benefits smoothly!
"This Jia Dongxu, he can't get things done and he also causes a lot of trouble. If Banggeng wasn't my godson, do you think I would care about you?"
Yi Zhonghai stared at Jia Dongxu, cursing in his heart.
If it weren't for the mistake made by Jia Dongxu, he wouldn't have to bleed so much.
He couldn't help but regret accepting Jia Dongxu as his apprentice. If it weren't for Jia Zhang's relentless pressure and the use of the dead old Jia, he would not have bothered to accept Jia Dongxu as his apprentice.
Jia Dongxu had no idea that Yi Zhonghai was staring at him and was still thinking about his own things.
"Giving out benefits? Didn't Huang Lihu say there were no benefits? How come there are benefits today? Could it be that Huang Lihu lied to me?"
"Huang Lihu is probably trying to cheat me out of my money and beat me up so I can give him the way to make money!"
"Okay, okay, I didn't expect you guys to be this kind of people. Don't blame me for being rude!"
Jia Dongxu thought secretly and glanced at Huang Lihu and the other two. At this time, the three of them also looked at Jia Dongxu.
When their eyes met, Jia Dongxu smiled, and Huang Lihu and the other two also quickly smiled.
"Boss, what should we do? If the benefits are distributed today, then all our beating up of Jia Dongxu would be in vain. Do you think he will kick us out?" Jiang Ziqiang said worriedly.
Huang Lihu looked helpless. He didn't expect that they had hit the wrong person, but what else could he do now that things had come to this.
"We've already fought, what else can we do?"
Huang Lihu changed his attitude in an instant: "It's OK if we kick him out. Anyway, we have found a way. We can earn more by doing it ourselves!"
Jiang Ziqiang suddenly realized and was no longer afraid: "That's right! Jia Dongxu only does so much work every day, and he easily earns a lot of money every day."
"The money I earned should be considered as compensation to him!"
As Jia Dongxu and Huang Lihu smiled and nodded, the cooperative relationship between the two parties suddenly broke down.
Since they earned their first money, they have become more dedicated and skilled in stealing waste.
At the beginning, they only stole 5 kilograms of waste, but now, after just a few days, they have stolen 10 kilograms of waste.
In order to avoid being discovered, they also took on the job of transporting the waste in order to conceal the actual weight of the waste.
In the past few days, Fang Maozhong earned the least 15 yuan, while Jia Dongxu earned at least 25 yuan.
In just a few days, they earned a month's salary, and became more and more concerned about stealing waste.
He became increasingly dissatisfied with Jia Dongxu, so Jia Dongxu was responsible for selling it. In the past few days, Huang Lihu also intended to find a buyer.
Although the selling price was not as expensive as Jia Dongxu's, he could earn more if Jia Dongxu's share was not taken.
"When Jia Dongxu gives us the money tomorrow, we will stop working with Jia Dongxu and do it on our own!" Huang Lihu whispered to the two of them.
"Really? Big brother, it's a deal! Let's do it on our own!" Fang Maozhong's eyes lit up. He also made a lot of money.
Jiang Ziqiang had no objection. He had wanted to kick Jia Dongxu out for a long time.
The four of them were all making their own plans.
And Jia Dongxu had already intended to kick them out.
"What's this little bit of welfare? I don't rely on this stuff to make a living anymore. It's more comfortable to sell scrap!"
Jia Dongxu is rich now and doesn't care about the benefits announced by Deng Chaoquan.
Since Jia Dongxu got the money, he has lived a comfortable life again. He has meat and white flour buns for every meal and eats whatever he wants.
Eat whatever you want and buy whatever you want.
The family is peaceful and harmonious, with the meat around, there are fewer disputes.
At the same time, when the salary announcement was made, Li Kailang was driving to the transportation department.
Today was his internship exam, and this time, no one was accompanying him.
Before Li Kailang left, Zhang Jinwu instructed:
"Xiao Li, with your skills, I won't let anyone follow you, so as not to affect you."
"Today's internship exam is not difficult. Relax and just do it as you are supposed to. We believe you can succeed!"
Lu Wenjiang also echoed: "Xiao Li, just go with peace of mind, we are waiting for your triumphant return!"
Zhang Fen also agreed: "Yes! Xiao Li, you must study hard. I will also take the exam in a while. Tell me about the situation when the time comes!"
Seeing the three people showing such concern, Li Kailang was full of confidence: "Don't worry, I will definitely pass this internship exam!"
With great ambition, Li Kailang drove to the transportation department. Half an hour later, Li Kailang arrived at the place, took his ID and walked in.
After a while, Li Kailang completed the formalities and was waiting for the exam.
"Hey! It's time for the exam!" Suddenly, a voice came from the side.
Li Kailang turned around and saw that it was the candidate who took the driving test with him, so he replied:
"Yes, you are here to take the exam too!"
The man pointed in a circle and said, "Everyone here today is here to take the internship exam. I wonder how many people are here to take the exam today?"
"Yes! It's hard to get a driver's license, but if something happens, you'll lose your license!" another candidate echoed.
"I don't know about others, but in our factory, someone's driver's license was confiscated. Now he's working as a maintenance worker. What a pity!" someone else said regretfully.
"That's really a pity. Do you know what happened to him?"
The man shrugged and spread his hands.
They worked hard as apprentices for three years and successfully passed the driving test before they got their driver's license.
During the first six months of internship, they were afraid that something might happen that would lead to their driver’s licenses being confiscated, and they would not even have time to cry.
Some people were eliminated before the internship exam even started.
A few people waited for a while, and more people came in one after another to handle the formalities and sat aside.
The number of people in the examination waiting area is also gradually increasing.
Li Kailang glanced at the time and said, "It's almost time. There shouldn't be many people here."
At this time, a man came over with some information and looked around.
The invigilator looked at the people sitting in the room, then at the materials in hand.
"Out of 22 people who passed, only 14 actually made it, which is nearly half the number!"
This invigilator was the one who invigilated Li Kailang's group, and everyone was familiar with him.
When we met acquaintances, we were not so nervous.
The invigilator shouted: "Is everyone here? Is there anyone who hasn't arrived yet?"
Everyone looked around and remained silent.
After asking the questions, the invigilator walked out of the room to see if there was anyone else.
"Okay, everyone is here, now follow me and take the practical exam."
After saying that, he took a group of candidates to the examination room.
Soon, everyone arrived at the familiar examination room. Looking at the familiar scene in front of them, they couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
The examiner turned around and said: "Today's practical test is very simple. We just want you to drive the route you took during the driving test again."
"After half a year of internship, your skills must have improved. Is today the time to test your skills?"
"The test requirements are still the same as when I took the driving test. Who will go first?"
Everyone looked at each other. No one wanted to take the first exam because the first one was the most stressful.
After waiting for a while and no one spoke, Li Kailang stepped forward and said, "I'll go first!"
The invigilator nodded: "Okay, then you go first!"
Everyone was a little scared, and the invigilator could understand that, as he had gone through the same thing in the first place.
Li Kailang was the first one to come out, so he was naturally not afraid. With his proficiency in driving, what was there to be afraid of? Since no one else came out, he could go back as soon as possible after finishing the test.
The factory paid salaries today, and it was a rare day off since it was not a weekend, so Li Kailang wanted to go home early and take a nap.
"Li Kailang, right?" asked the invigilator.
Li Kailang nodded.
"Get in the car and get ready. The test will start soon." The invigilator gave an instruction and turned to look at everyone.
"Stay aside, don't affect traffic, and decide who will go next!"
After saying that, the invigilator got on the bus to invigilate the exam.
"Rumble--"
The truck roared and rumbled off.
"I'm the first one to take the exam, and I don't know how strong I am."
"What else can he do? He must be confident, otherwise he wouldn't dare to come out!"
"Let's take a look first. When he comes back, we'll know how difficult today's internship exam is!"
They didn't dare to be the first to come out. Being timid was partly the reason, but the most important thing was that they had to see how strong the invigilator was.
Although we are well prepared, the actual situation we face is another matter.
Li Kailang is an expert driver and the entire situation of the car is under his control.
Although this car is not his and he is a little unfamiliar with driving it, it's okay.
After a while, Li Kailang drove the car back to the starting point smoothly.
"Li Kailang, you passed the internship exam!" the invigilator announced to everyone, and at the same time took out a pass note from his mouth.
He signed his name, stamped it with the internship stamp and handed it to Li Kailang.
"Take this stamp and go inside to complete the formalities to apply for a learner's license."
"Thank you, examiner!" Li Kailang said gratefully, holding the note.
Although I am confident that I will pass the internship exam, I am still a little nervous as things are not finalized yet.
The invigilator smiled and said, "You're welcome. You deserve it. I've been invigilating for so many years, and you're the first one with such amazing driving skills."
Everyone looked at Li Kai taking the note, their eyes filled with envy.
"Okay, take the note and go handle it first."
Hearing this, Li Kailang turned and left.
The invigilator looked at everyone and asked, "Who's next?"
With the "temptation" of the note, everyone was eager to be the first to refer to it.
"I'll come, I'll come!"
"Proctor, I'll go first!"
"Don't push me, I came here first!"
Suddenly, a group of people rushed forward, wanting to be the first to take the reference.
However, these had nothing to do with Li Kailang. Holding the note and his driver's license, Li Kailang began to go through the formalities.
The original white driver’s license has now been replaced with a green learner’s license.
Li Kailang was finally able to go out for transportation, but he could not carry passengers.
They say that passengers cannot be carried, but in reality no one cares, after all, there are only so many cars.
"Comrade, please keep it!" the clerk reminded.
Li Kailang took the new driver's license, touched it left and right, and couldn't let it go.
After all, from now on, his driver's license will not be confiscated for a trivial matter, so he can drive with confidence.
"Comrade, when your internship is over in half a year, remember to come back again. Don't forget!" the clerk reminded.
"Oh, okay!" Li Kailang replied.
The clerk reminded me of this because some people think that everything will be fine once they get a learner's license and forget to exchange it for a formal driver's license.
Although the two are similar in practical functions, one is a learner's license after all.
One is a formal driver's license, and the ways of dealing with some things are also different.
The most important thing is to get a formal driver's license before you can start the rating.
If Li Kailang had obtained a formal driver's license before applying for a patent, the steel mill's leadership would not have had to spend so much time and effort thinking of how to reward him.
"Take the book and leave!"
Li Kailang happily took his new driver's license and drove back to the steel mill without stopping. He couldn't wait to report the good news to everyone.
