Chapter 350 Jin Jianxian's Dilemma
Chapter 350 Jin Jianxian's Dilemma
“Get off work and get off work!”
After saying hello to Zhang Jinwu, Li Kailang excitedly left the steel mill and went home to rest.
"Let's go back and take a nap!"
Li Kailang looked at some people who were hurrying along the street and it was obvious that they had overslept and were late.
Looking at their panicked appearance, Li Kailang felt indescribably happy.
“It’s such a great feeling to watch people at work!”
This feeling is like when you are in school and you ask for leave to skip classes, but you see people rushing to school.
In comparison, who would be unhappy or happy?
Return to the yard.
"Hey, Xiao Li, why are you back? Did you forget to take something?" The third aunt looked at Li Kailang walking back.
Li Kailang explained: "No, the factory gave me a day off today. Didn't I not come home last night? I had to work overtime, so they gave me a day off today."
"I see." Auntie suddenly realized, "I was wondering why you didn't come back yesterday."
"What happened yesterday?"
"Nothing, nothing."
"That's fine." Li Kailang nodded and planned to go home.
"Pigeon!" Suddenly, a soft voice came.
Yan Jiedi opened her arms and ran towards Li Kailang in small steps. Her movements were very cute.
"Hey, Xiao Jie Di, what do you want to talk to me about?" Li Kailang picked her up directly.
Who wouldn’t like this cute little girl?
"Ge Ge, medicine!" Yan Jiedi hugged Li Kailang's neck and said in a baby voice.
"You little glutton!" Li Kailang took out some fruit candy from his pocket.
Yan Jiedi opened it skillfully, put it in her mouth, and then pointed at Xiaodang beside Li Kailang, "Gege, Xiaodang medicine!"
Yan Jiedi didn't forget her little friends while eating candy.
Xiaodang looked up, his round eyes looking at Li Kailang expectantly, and from time to time his eyes glanced at Yan Jiedi's chewing mouth.
The two were only a few days apart in age, and they were among the few little girls in the yard, so naturally they played together.
In this regard, the third aunt and Qin Huairu were happy to see the two of them playing. After all, the other children in the yard were several years older than them and could not play together.
"Hey, Xiaodang, this is yours." Li Kailang also took out the candy and gave it to her.
After all, Xiaodang is still young and doesn't understand anything, so Li Kailang naturally won't bother with her.
Of course, when she grows up, Li Kailang will naturally avoid her. After all, with the education given by the Jia family, he is afraid of being indirectly blackmailed by the Jia family.
"Crab, crab, pigeon!" Xiaodang thanked politely, tore open the package and put it in his mouth in one bite.
"Hmm~" After tasting the candy, Xiaodang squinted his eyes happily and smiled happily.
In the middle courtyard, Bang Geng was lying in the corner of the door, watching his sister eating the delicious food. He wanted to snatch some away, but Li Kailang was there, so he didn't dare to.
"Okay, go play." Li Kailang put Yan Jiedi down, touched her head and went back to take a nap.
The three aunts standing by were used to it and didn't say any more words of thanks to avoid sounding awkward.
Li Kailang slept until the afternoon.
"Get up and go out to borrow a book from Jin Jianxian."
After all, I didn't attend class yesterday, so I have to make up for it anyway. If you don't understand anything, you can ask tomorrow.
"It's just right to go to Jin Jianxian's workplace. It seems to be at the Third Parts Factory, not far away."
Li Kailang deliberately chose a time when there were least busy people, so that he wouldn't cause any trouble to Jin Jianxian.
"set off!"
Li Kailang pedaled his bicycle and headed towards the third parts factory.
It didn't take long before we arrived at the place.
"This third parts factory doesn't look very big."
The gate of the Third Parts Factory that Li Kailang was looking at was much smaller than that of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.
Take a look inside and the difference is even more obvious.
This is not surprising. After all, the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill is a large factory with several thousand employees, while the Third Parts Factory is a small factory with just over a thousand employees.
However, small factories also have their advantages, there are not so many twists and turns.
So, Li Kailang used the name of a classmate and was registered by the security guard and was let in directly.
"Comrade, which building is the technician Jin you are looking for? Enter from the main gate and go directly to the third floor. He is there." The security guard pointed the way.
"Thank you, comrade."
"polite."
Li Kailang followed the security guard's instructions and went straight to the third floor.
As soon as you enter the door, you don't have to look for him specifically, you will see Jin Jianxian reading at the door.
"Hey, Old Jin!" Li Kailang patted Jin Jianxian's shoulder gently.
Jin Jianxian turned around and asked in surprise: "Kanglang, why are you here?"
"Don't I miss you?"
"What a joke! I'm not a woman. If you told Xingmei I would believe it. Tell me what's the matter?" Jin Jianxian said unhappily.
"Nothing. Didn't you miss class yesterday? I wanted to borrow a book from you to take home and catch up on my studies." Li Kailang explained briefly.
Jin Jianxian picked up the book on the table and said, "Hey, take this book. It's a coincidence that you didn't come yesterday. Teacher Bai didn't talk much yesterday."
"You are the first one in our class to miss class. What a coincidence that you missed class just when the teacher was reviewing the knowledge."
"Oh? Really? I'm so lucky then."
Li Kailang didn't expect that by reviewing his knowledge, he would have less academic work to catch up on and would be able to relax a lot.
While the two were chatting, they did not notice that a few people not far away were looking at them with disdain.
"Hey, Mou Guangfu, who is that person talking to Jin Jianxian? Why don't I know him? Is he a newcomer in the factory?" Wang Lixing asked Mou Guangfu who was beside him.
Mou Guangfu looked at Li Kailang carefully and said, "I don't know. I don't know him either. The factory manager didn't say there was a new person. He should be Jin Jianxian's friend."
"Friends?" Wang Lixing sneered, "It's really funny that a poor guy like Jin Jianxian has friends."
"As for Jin Jianxian, I don't think his friends are good people either. What does a security guard do? Letting such a person in here is so dirty."
Wang Lixing slapped the chair and stood up, looking for trouble with Jin Jianxian and Li Kailang in a threatening manner. Mou Guangfu also went over to join in the fun.
Wang Lixing: "Hey, Jin Jianxian, who is this person? Why did he come to our place? Do you know where this place is? This is not a place where just any random person can come in."
Hearing Wang Lixing's impolite words, Jin Jianxian frowned and looked at him unhappily.
Wang Lixing immediately caught the strange look in his eyes. "Jin Jianxian, what's that look? Are you dissatisfied?"
"Look at how poor you are. No wonder you come from the countryside. You have no manners at all."
Wang Lixing looked at Jin Jianxian, his disdain revealed in his eyes without any concealment.
Jin Jianxian retorted: "Wang Lixing, what do you mean by that? I come from the countryside, how could I provoke you?"
"Yes, you did provoke me. How did a country bumpkin like you come to our factory? You must have done something shameful to be assigned to our factory!"
Jin Jianxian replied: "You are talking nonsense. I was assigned to our factory by the school. I didn't do anything shameful." Wang Lixing: "The school arranged it? You must have bribed the teachers in the school to arrange for you to come to our factory. If you didn't bribe them, how could you come to our factory?"
No matter what Jin Jianxian said, Wang Lixing would have his own excuses to refute him, and he kept mentioning that Jin Jianxian was from the countryside.
Li Kailang also understood what was said nearby. Wang Lixing just disliked Jin Jianxian.
Before Jin Jianxian came to their factory, Wang Lixing thought that they were the best, but then Jin Jianxian, a country boy, came to them.
It directly lowers their grade and status.
This is like a group of highly educated people, and suddenly a person with low education comes in and works with them.
They clearly got in based on their own abilities, but they don't care about their abilities and instead care about their academic qualifications.
To put it bluntly, I feel unbalanced.
Jin Jianxian also felt bitter, because he had never been treated like this before, because some junior engineers had looked up to him and protected him.
But the engineer went out to provide support, and without him, Jin Jianxian was isolated and helpless, and could only be constantly bullied by Wang Lixing and others.
At first he could do some technician work, but now all he does is repair machines.
There are not many technicians and engineers in the factory. Logically, the factory director should let everyone play their respective positions and make contributions.
But the factory manager ignored it and only paid attention to the engineer, not bothering to care about other technicians.
After all, this is just a small factory, and the factory director only cares about the most capable people, and doesn't care about others.
Li Kailang: "Okay, shut up, country bumpkin, how did the country bumpkin provoke you?"
"Do you know that several marshals are from the countryside? If you boycott the country people, aren't you boycotting the marshals?"
"Oh, it's fine that you look down on Jin Jianxian, you even look down on the marshal. Fine, I'll go and file a report with you in a moment!"
"You are talking nonsense!" Wang Lixing cursed loudly, "Don't even think about putting that accusation on me. I didn't say that."
Li Kailang: "You didn't say it? I think you just didn't say it, not that you didn't think about it. It seems that you are better than the marshal."
After saying that, Li Kailang clapped his hands and said, "I wonder how many years you will be sentenced to for slandering the marshal like this. You might even be shot."
When he heard about the execution, Wang Lixing was so frightened that his body trembled and cold sweat broke out.
"Hmph, I'm too lazy to argue with you here."
Seeing that he couldn't win the argument with Li Kailang, Wang Lixing said some nonsense and ran away dejectedly, fearing that he would be accused of something again.
Mou Guangfu, who was beside him, immediately followed his eldest brother, for fear of being affected and otherwise being in trouble.
"Kanglai, thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to explain it no matter how hard I tried." Jin Jianxian thanked.
"It's okay, you're my friend, how could I just sit there and do nothing?" Li Kailang waved his hand.
"It's just that, logically speaking, you're a technician, just like them, so there's no reason for you to be afraid of them."
"Alas." Jin Jianxian sighed and shook his head helplessly, "It's a long story. There were old engineers here before."
When Jin Jianxian first came to the Third Parts Factory, Wang Lixing and others didn't like him, but Jin Jianxian was favored by the old engineers.
The old engineer, like Jin Jianxian, was from a rural background. He took good care of him and taught him everything he knew.
Wang Lixing and others saw how good the old engineer was to Jin Jianxian, and they became even more envious and jealous.
Last year, the old engineer went to provide support, and the situation changed drastically. Without the old engineer's support, Wang Lixing and others bullied him.
The new parallel-important engineer, who was also the master of Wang Lixing and others, naturally turned a blind eye to this.
As time went on, Jin Jianxian was isolated and could not participate in any research work. He could only repair machines.
In the eyes of outsiders, he is a superior technician, but in the eyes of technicians, Jin Jianxian is nothing and is bullied all the same.
Even though Jin Jianxian was studying at night university, Wang Lixing and others were even more disdainful.
"Tsk, you're just studying at a night university, you really think you're that great, it's just shit luck, if I were to go to night university, I'd be better than you."
"You really thought that by studying at night university, you would become a college student. Look at how poor you are. There were no college students at that time. Go back and farm."
The ridicule and disdain from Wang Lixing and others did not knock Jin Jianxian down, but instead made him work harder.
Speaking of this, I have to mention that Jin Jianxian’s ability to study at night university had nothing to do with the Third Parts Factory. He was recommended by his teacher at school.
In other words, even if Jin Jianxian resigned, he could still go to night school.
This made Wang Lixing and others even more helpless. If the factory had recommended him, they would have a hundred ways to get Jin Jianxian, but unfortunately it was not the case.
Seeing this, Li Kailang felt sorry for Jin Jianxian's experience, but also hoped that he would have a good outcome, so he advised him.
"Jianxian, why don't you leave here and go work in another factory? I believe that with your ability and your study at night university, no factory will reject you."
Hearing this, Jin Jianxian's eyes trembled slightly, and he was obviously moved.
But he shook his head and said, "Forget it, this place is pretty good. After all, this is where I was raised. I can't just leave like this."
Li Kailang continued to persuade: "If you don't leave, you will be bullied by them in the future."
Jin Jianxian: "I'm used to it. It's not a big deal. Besides, it's easy here. I have plenty of time to study. It's great. I don't have to go through so much trouble."
I don't do research, I just help repair machines in the workshop. No matter how much Wang Lixing and others bark, the job is actually quite easy.
Li Kailang wanted to persuade him again, but Jin Jianxian said, "Let's talk about the future later. I want to stay here now."
Since Jin Jianxian said so, Li Kailang stopped trying to persuade him. "Since you have made up your mind, I will not persuade you. If you have any difficulties, tell me and I will help you solve them."
"Thank you." Jin Jianxian said gratefully.
"Technician Jin! Technician Jin!" Suddenly, several hurried shouts were heard in the corridor.
"What's the matter? What happened?" Jin Jianxian hurried out of the office.
"The machine, the machine has a problem again. Please, Technician Jin, come and fix it quickly." The worker said hurriedly.
"Okay, I'll go over now." Jin Jianxian responded and looked at Li Kailang.
"Kang Kai, the textbooks and notes are all here, take them. I have marked everything that Teacher Bai said, you can go back and look at them."
"If you don't understand something, just come and ask me tomorrow. I have something urgent to attend to and I won't entertain you."
Li Kailang knew that the situation was urgent, so he quickly said, "Just do your thing, don't worry about me."
Jin Jianxian immediately took his tools and went to repair the machine with the workers.
"Now that I have the things, it's time to go back." After getting the things, Li Kailang went back to catch up on his studies.
"Hmph, you'll be a machine repairman all your life. It'll be impossible for you to get ahead." Wang Lixing stood in the corner, looking at the hurried Jin Jianxian.
Wang Lixing and others looked down on Jin Jianxian so much, but they didn't know that he was the most important person in the factory.
In a few months, Jin Jianxian had repaired most of the machines in the workshop and was familiar with many of them.
Once he leaves, if there is a problem with the machine in the workshop, it will not be able to be repaired as quickly as possible and there is a high possibility that it will break down there.
As for the other technicians, they have little ability but bad temper.
As for that engineer, he said it was a counterfeit product. He could repair it, but if he didn't have enough time, he wouldn't be able to repair it completely.
If you have talented people but don't recognize them and don't take them seriously, they will leave sooner or later.
"I don't know what the director of the Third Parts Factory is thinking. He ignores a college student and allows him to be bullied. I'm afraid he must be a fool."
Li Kailang couldn't help but feel sorry for the factory director. Recalling the conversation with Jin Jianxian, Li Kailang was certain that Jin Jianxian was very disappointed with the factory.
"Perhaps when Jin Jianxian graduates, it will be the time for him to leave the parts factory. By then, the sky will be high for birds to fly and the sea will be wide for fish to swim. It will be too late to regret."
"Why don't we try hard and bring Jin Jianxian to the steel mill? Maybe we can become colleagues in the future."
