Chapter 295: Integration into the Contempt Dike
Chapter 295: Integration into the Contempt Dike
Two days passed in a flash, and finally it was Friday again, and it was time to go to class again.
After work, Li Kailang hurriedly ate, washed up, and went to the class.
This place is not far from the Second Machine Tool Factory. It was obviously set up here because the director of the Mechanical Manufacturing Department is Yan Wanbin.
Li Kailang rode his bike here and it only took him about ten minutes to get there. It wasn’t very far.
Time passed little by little, and students came to class one after another.
Not long after, Yan Wanbin walked in with the teaching materials, and everyone immediately sat up straight.
Seeing this, Yan Wanbin nodded and said, "Today we will talk about what we didn't finish last time. Everyone, take a look first and we'll start later."
Then he looked at Li Kailang in the corner, walked up to him and said, "Li Kailang, have you finished the homework I assigned last time?"
Li Kailang: "Yes, teachers. I have been reading books these days."
Yan Wanbin: "It's not enough to just talk about it, we need to see your real ability. Which books have you read these days? I'll randomly check them out."
"Time is tight, so I don't require you to give a clear answer, but a rough answer will suffice."
Yan Wanbin didn't believe that anyone could finish reading the distributed books carefully in just two days.
Even if he was asked to come, he could only make sure that he read the book once, had a general idea in his mind, and put himself in other people's shoes. This was his requirement for Li Kailang.
Li Kailang pulled out a book: "This is the Chemical Machinery book, which I read the most."
Yan Wanbin nodded, opened the book, and asked a few simple questions first.
"What is the general term for chemical machinery? How many categories are there? What are its functions?"
"Chemical machinery is the general term for machines and equipment used in chemical industry production"
This question is very basic and Li Kailang can answer it easily.
Yan Wanbin nodded: "Not bad, you can answer it. Ask again."
Then, Yan Wanbin asked a few slightly difficult questions, and Li Kailang was able to answer them one by one, and his answers were quite good.
Yan Wanbin's eyes brightened up and he continued asking questions, but the more he asked, the more difficult the questions became.
But Li Kailang was able to answer them one by one, even though he stumbled a little while in the process, which immediately made Yan Wanbin look at him with admiration.
The students standing by listened to Yan Wanbin's questions and Li Kailang's answers, and compared their own answers in their minds.
I found that I had not answered some knowledge points and my answers were not as complete as Li Kailang's. I couldn't help but look at Li Kailang with admiration.
Yan Wanbin encouraged: "Not bad, not bad, you can actually answer them all. Even though you answered them haltingly, it's great that you were able to answer them."
"It seems that you haven't been lazy these two days and have been reading books seriously. Keep it up."
"Thank you for the compliment, teacher. I will continue to work hard." Li Kailang said.
Yan Wanbin also looked at Li Kailang with admiration. In just two days, Li Kailang was able to answer many difficult questions, which was better than some other students.
Yan Wanbin thought, "Could it be that Old Yang has found a genius for me? No, let's wait and see. There's no rush."
During these two days, Li Kailang took time out to read every day. He spent at least four or five hours reading during working hours, which makes a total of 2 hours.
Add in the time it takes to get home from get off work, which is about 24 hours, and this is the outside world time.
If I put it in the planting space, that would be 10 days. Of course, excluding rest and sleep, it would still be seven or eight days, all spent reading.
With a memory that is almost photographic, Li Kailang not only read the textbooks distributed to him, but also read the book given by Director Yang.
Finally, I quickly and briefly read the book and have a basic understanding. I am no longer a complete novice and layman like on Tuesday.
If there is no major change, all his efforts these days will be in vain.
In fact, Li Kailang could have given a better answer, shocking Yan Wanbin and his classmates and making them think he was a genius, but he didn't do that.
On the one hand, no one believed that he could finish reading so many books in two days, not even himself.
On the other hand, showing off in front of others and pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger are actually disadvantageous to him. After all, he only has knowledge but lacks vision and practical skills.
The right way is to listen more, watch more, and attend classes seriously. To make up for the gap with your classmates, you have to take one step at a time.
Yan Wanbin nodded and said, "Let's start the class. Everyone, take out the Mechanical Parts. We will continue what we didn't finish last time."
Yan Wanbin spoke for two hours, then stopped and went to the bathroom.
Several people took advantage of this opportunity to come up to Li Kailang and said, "Li Kailang, you really only have a junior high school education. I can't answer several of your questions at once."
"Yeah, I can't answer any of those questions. Have you ever seen chemical machinery before?"
Everyone asked, but Li Kailang did not attribute it to his own talent.
Li Kailang: "I was lucky. I remembered all the questions the teacher asked, and I was able to answer them as soon as the teacher asked me. However, I was still stumbling in my answers."
"That's true. How could I remember everything in just two days? I was just lucky."
Many people agree with this view, but some do not.
"That's true. With your junior high school education, how could you answer the teacher's question so quickly? I have to say you are really lucky."
Li Kailang looked at the classmate who spoke, and looked at him with contempt in his eyes, without hiding it at all.
"Lai Yicheng, stop being so sarcastic here. You think Li is not good enough, but do you think you are good enough? With your grades, it's no wonder you can't stand seeing others do better than you."
"You" Lai Yicheng pointed angrily at the classmate who spoke up for Li Kailang. He couldn't stand people talking about his grades the most.
"Qi Mengru, stop talking about me. My grades are not good, but yours are not much better. You must have bad intentions to protect the newcomer."
Qi Mengru put her hands on her hips and said, "What do you think my purpose is? Tell me. Don't make up stories here. Student Li is a newcomer, so what's wrong with me taking care of him?"
"When a new student comes to the class, I am the one who takes care of him. After all, I am the class leader appointed by Teacher Yan."
"How come the class has such a good learning atmosphere without my contribution? I think you just can't stand seeing others doing well, so you said that on purpose."
Qi Mengru's words were echoed by the audience, and Qi Mengru's contribution was obvious. If she had acted as a glue, no one would know each other.
Lai Yicheng's face turned red with anger: "Humph, you're talking nonsense. I don't mind seeing others do well, so don't talk nonsense."
Qi Mengru: "You said it yourself. No other students said anything. You are the only one who looks down on Li. I don't know how you got in."
"Not only do they not pay attention in class and slack off, they also don't do their homework seriously and ask for leave every now and then. I don't know what they do."
"You" Lai Yicheng pointed at Qi Mengru, unable to utter a word in rebuttal.
What he did was indeed unkind. If Yan Wanbin had not had some relationship with his father, he would have been kicked out long ago.
"Hmph, with your junior high school education, you might just go back home at the end of the semester." Lai Yicheng said harshly and turned away.
Someone murmured quietly, "Finally he left. I don't know why Lai Yicheng came here to attend classes. He ruined a night school that others couldn't get into."
A classmate beside him pulled him back and said, "Yu Xun, just mutter a few words, don't let him hear you, or else the factory will suffer. Don't forget the person who left a while ago."
Hearing this, Yu Xun immediately shut up and stopped talking, his face flushed red, and he became even more angry at Lai Yicheng.
Li Kailang was curious and asked, "Can you tell me what's going on?"
Just as Yu Xun was about to speak, he was stopped by a classmate next to him, but Yu Xun slapped his classmate's hand away and said directly.
"This Lai Yicheng, even though his name has the word Cheng in it, you should open your eyes and don't be fooled by his name."
"His family has some connections with the ministry. Someone once offended Lai Yicheng, so Lai Yicheng asked the ministry to do something and deliberately delayed the delivery of coal." "The man's factory was at a critical stage of production, and Lai Yicheng did this. The result is predictable. He has now dropped out of school."
Yu Xun only said two simple sentences, but Li Kailang could imagine the danger and consequences.
Not only did that person have to apologize to Lai Yicheng, the factory also wanted him to quit the night school to avoid causing trouble for the factory, and they even threatened to fire him.
Looking at Yu Xun's indignant expression, the result will definitely be very bad.
Li Kailang nodded: "So that's how it is, thank you."
Yu Xun: "It's okay, but you have to be careful with him in the future. Don't mess with him if there's nothing to do."
"Don't worry, I know my limits." Li Kailang smiled.
Knowing Lai Yicheng's deeds, Li Kailang can deduce his background and power.
After just thinking about it, Li Kailang was no longer afraid of Lai Yicheng.
After all, there is Director Lu in the department, and he cannot sit idly by and watch something happen at the steel rolling mill. What's more, Director Yang has a big boss behind him and his position is very high.
No matter whose production resources are blocked, the steel rolling mill will not be blocked. A large factory at the deputy-department level cannot be controlled at will.
Qi Mengru said, "Student Li, you have to study hard. With the expression you have today, you should give Lai Yicheng a slap in the face in the future to let him know how powerful you are."
"Well, I will try my best." Li Kailang said lightly.
Li Kailang has nothing to say about those who only care about academic qualifications. It is harder than climbing to the sky to break the ideas of such people.
No matter how well you do or how great your achievements are, people will use different reasons to refute others' excellence and refuse to acknowledge it.
Although in this era, academic qualifications basically represent knowledge, but they do not represent moral character.
"By the way, where do you live? Have you joined a study group?" Qi Mengru asked kindly.
Li Kailang asked in confusion: "Do I need to know other people's addresses to join the group?"
Qi Mengru explained: "That's not the case. The study groups are divided according to where they live. It's impossible for people from the north of the city to study and communicate with people from the south of the city."
"It takes time just to come here, so we divide everyone into groups based on where they live. You can just tell us roughly where you live, but you don't have to go into detail."
Hearing this, Li Kailang understood what he meant and told the approximate address.
"Nanluoguxiang, you are pretty close to Jin Jianxian's group. Jin Jianxian, are you still short of people in your group?"
Qi Mengru asked a person who was concentrating on reading a book. Even when Qi Mengru and Lai Yicheng were arguing, he didn't look up.
"All is fine." Jin Jianxian said casually and buried his head in reading again.
Li Kailang looked at his face, and a sense of vicissitudes of life emerged spontaneously. The look in his eyes was full of sadness, and it was obvious that he was a man with a story.
Qi Mengru looked at Li Kailang and said, "Why don't you join Jin Jianxian's team? There are only three people in his team, including him. The other two didn't come today."
"Okay." Li Kailang nodded and prepared to get up.
After all, I'm going to join Jin Jianxian's team, so I should go and say hello to him.
Qi Mengru held Li Kailang and said, "It's OK if he knows. You don't have to greet him. He is usually like this, cold and icy."
Li Kailang said: "This is not good. After all, I am joining his group and we will study and discuss together in the future."
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Jin Jianxian's team is not all here today. We can greet each other next time when we are all together. Jin Jianxian, don't you agree?"
"All is fine." Jin Jianxian said casually.
Qi Mengru explained: "You see, he is like this. You can go next time when everyone is gathered. It's nothing to worry about anyway."
Seeing Jin Jianxian's attitude, Li Kailang didn't bother to say hello. After all, he would just join the group a few days later and it wouldn't delay anything.
At this time, Yan Wanbin came back and said, "Ahem, it's time for class. Everyone, go back to your seats."
Seeing this, everyone returned to their seats and started the class.
Time passed quickly and it was time to end the get out of class.
Yan Wanbin assigned homework to Li Kailang as usual, which was still reading.
Li Kailang invited, "Mr. Jin, we're on the same way, how about I give you a ride?"
Jin Jianxian: "No, thank you."
"Mr. Jin, you're welcome. It's so late, and I don't know how long it will take to walk back. I'll give you a ride to save time."
Jin Jianxian: "No, thank you."
Since the person refused again, Li Kailang no longer invited him. He had wanted to communicate with him, but since it didn't work out, he let it go.
"Okay then, classmate Jin, please be safe on the road."
Jin Jianxian: "Thank you."
Jin Jianxian's intention of distancing himself was obvious, so Li Kailang got on his bike and prepared to leave.
"By the way." Jin Jianxian said suddenly.
Hearing the voice, Li Kailang immediately turned to look at him: "What's the matter, Mr. Jin?"
Jin Jianxian: "Be careful Qi Mengru, don't get too close to her."
Li Kailang: "Mr. Jin, what do you mean by this?"
After all, Qi Mengru helped him to confront Lai Yicheng and introduced him to the group, so he had to protect her no matter what.
Jin Jianxian opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he just said, "Nothing, just be careful of Qi Mengru and don't get too close to her."
Seeing that Jin Jianxian seemed hesitant to speak, Li Kailang guessed that Qi Mengru had something to hide.
Since Jin Jianxian didn't say much, Li Kailang could only keep it in mind and thanked him, "Thank you, I will pay attention to it."
After saying that, Li Kailang rode away on his bike.
On the way back, Li Kailang frowned and thought: "What does Jin Jianxian mean by this? Could it be that Qi Mengru really has some ulterior motive?"
"But seeing how enthusiastic she is, none of the classmates around her objected. Isn't that right?"
Li Kailang thought about it for a long time, but couldn't figure it out, so he kept it in his heart.
Jin Jianxian looked at Li Kailang's receding back without any expression and walked back alone.
Li Kailang returned to the courtyard and pushed the door open directly. Before class, Li Kailang greeted Yan Bugui and asked him not to lock the door.
Since Yan Bugui knew that Li Kailang was attending night school, he has become more enthusiastic towards him.
When he comes home from get off work or comes back, he greets me warmly. I have never seen him so enthusiastic before. Everyone just nods to me when they meet.
The same was true for other residents, who were much more enthusiastic. Even the neighbor who had said bad things about him yesterday seemed to have forgotten what he had said yesterday and greeted him warmly.
This made Li Kailang a little unbearable. He hid in his room every day to avoid dealing with people.
After a few days, the enthusiasm will fade and everything will be fine.
