Chapter 563: Indifference and Big Pie

Chapter 563: Indifference and Big Pie

The young man slumped on the ground, his mind full of thoughts.

"So what? If I can't go back, where else can I go?"

For a moment, the young man's mind was a mess. If he couldn't stay in the transport team, where else could he go? He couldn't go to other coolie workshops.

People like him who are neither good at literature nor martial arts are not needed in technical workshops such as fitters and riveters.

People who have less busy positions such as the cafeteria and warehouse will not be added casually.

The unloading department, the sanitation team, the foundry workshop, etc., not only do the working environments there are bad, but the key is that the salaries are not high, and there is no room for advancement, so you can't see the end of your job for a lifetime.

"No, no, I can't go there. I have to go back and apologize. Maybe Master Li will forgive me and let me go."

"Yes, that's right. Who is Master Li? How could he possibly bother with me?"

Thinking of this, the young man panicked and immediately went to find Li Kailang.

Before he found Li Kailang, his master found him first.

"Why did you come back? Go find your cousin."

As soon as Master Ma saw this little bastard, he was furious. This apprentice had lost so much face for him.

"Master! Save me! Master!" The apprentice knelt down on the ground and grabbed the master's trouser legs.

"I'm not your master. You're a powerful person, very arrogant. How dare I be your master? And you want me to save you? You don't need me."

"My small temple cannot accommodate a Buddha like you. Please seek help from someone else."

After saying that, Master Ma broke free, turned around and was about to leave.

The apprentice knelt down and grabbed his trouser legs again, looking up and begging: "Master, I was wrong, please give me a chance, I will definitely work hard to learn in the future, Master, please forgive me."

"Let go!"

"Master, please, Master."

The call of "Master" touched Master Ma's heart time and time again. It was impossible to say that he had no feelings for his apprentice. After all, he had taught him hard for two or three years.

It's just feeding the dog, but it also feeds the feelings.

"Forget it, forget it. I am risking my reputation to help you one last time. If Master Li and Master Wang don't forgive you, you can leave on your own."

Master Ma said helplessly, why offend anyone else, why offend Master Wang.

Li Kailang is not someone he can afford to offend. His master is Zhang Jinwu, the captain of the transport team. He really doesn't know how to live or die.

"Thank you, Master. I will study hard and honor you in the future!"

"Hmph! You regret it now, why didn't you do something about it earlier!" Master Ma was so angry that he could have just accepted it with his head down, but he had to make trouble for no reason.

If I had known this, why bother.

"Why are you still kneeling? Go!" Master Ma scolded, and turned around to plead with Master Wang and Li Kailang.

The apprentices looked at him bowing his head and were glad that they did not refute Li Kailang just now, otherwise they would be the ones who suffered.

Master Ma brought his apprentice and found Master Wang first.

"Master Wang, I failed in my parenting. I apologize to you on behalf of my disciple."

After saying this, Master Ma clasped his fists and bowed deeply.

Master Wang immediately helped them up and said, "They are just children who don't know much. It doesn't matter. You should study hard in the future."

"Yes, Master Wang is right." The apprentice replied with his head down, not daring to look up at Master Wang at all.

Master Ma listened to Master Wang's cold tone and knew that he didn't care about this matter, but in the future, his apprentice should not even think of looking for him if he had any problems.

Then, go to Li Kailang to apologize.

"How can a young man like me bear Master Ma bowing and apologizing? Aren't you embarrassing me? I didn't take this matter seriously."

"Thank you, Master Li, for your magnanimity." Master Ma thanked.

In the past, I could still call Li Kailang "Xiao Li" because of my seniority, but now after his apology, my status is different and I have to bow my head when I see him in the future.

"Master Ma, I still have tasks to do, so I'll go get busy first."

"You go about your business."

Li Kailang nodded, glanced at Master Ma's apprentice, and left.

Neither Li Kailang nor Master Wang looked upset at their apprentice's apology.

After all, I have the status and position here, so there is no need to quarrel with a junior. If I don’t accept it, I would be considered petty.

He apologized and everyone accepted it on the surface to give Master Ma face, but everyone knew what would happen in reality.

If anything goes wrong in the future, these two people are destined to be of no help.

"Alas~" Master Ma sighed helplessly. Thanks to his face, the matter was over.

"Enough, why are you still standing there? Go in and do it." Master Ma kicked his apprentice on the butt.

"Thank you, Master!"

"Get out!" Master Ma waved his hands irritably.

The apprentice entered the apprentice room and looked up to see the other apprentices staring at him. Although they didn't say anything, the mockery in their eyes was obvious.

"Hmph~" The apprentice laughed at himself and returned to his workstation to start making parts.

Master Wang would check on the work of his apprentices from time to time, and would just take a glance when they passed by him.

No one said whether there were any problems or not.

Li Kailang still had tasks to do, so he returned to the car and was about to leave.

"Master Li, Master Li!" A familiar voice came from behind.

Li Kailang stuck his head out and saw that the person coming was Zhao Gang from the cafeteria.

"It's this guy again. Let's see what's going on. If we still want to send people to the countryside, we won't do it."

A few days ago, when everyone from the canteen was sent to the countryside, Zhao Gang insisted on showing off his prestige in front of everyone and dragged them home until the steel rolling mill was over for the day.

He actually planned to let the people in the cafeteria walk back. That's crazy. Who will be responsible if anything happens?

"Director Zhao, what's the matter?"

"Master Li, are you free?"

"what's up?"

"Hey, it's nothing, I just want to send the canteen staff to the countryside again."

As expected, Li Kailang directly refused: "Director Zhao, I'm very busy at the beginning of this month and I really don't have time. Why don't you go find another master?"

With that, the truck rumbled away.

"Hey, hey, hey, Master Li, we can talk about this." Zhao Gang still wanted to control Li Kailang, but he just didn't listen.

"Hmph, if you want to show off, you've found the wrong person." Li Kailang snorted coldly, so as to avoid listening to Zhao Gang's talk of righteousness that would embarrass him.

"Hey, why are you leaving? Ask other masters."

Zhao Gang was not discouraged. If Li Kailang was not good enough, there would be other masters.

After asking one by one, everyone refused on the grounds of being busy.

Zhao Gang's deeds have spread throughout the transport team. Whenever he comes, nothing good will happen. Who would want to cause trouble for themselves?

"Ah, the masters of the transport team are really something. This is a great thing for the people of the world, but they don't even want to do it. There are so many people begging for this good job."

"Really? You don't have a sense of the overall situation at all. I don't believe it wouldn't have been possible without you guys."

Of course, Zhao Gang didn't dare say these words to his masters.

"It's alright anyway. I think I'll just walk to the countryside this afternoon. It's not far anyway. It only takes an hour to get there. There's plenty of time in the cafeteria anyway."

Zhao Gang made up his mind and was about to tell everyone in the cafeteria, but suddenly shook his head to reject the proposal.

"Forget it. I have to follow them to the countryside. If we go to the countryside, I will be so tired. I will die of exhaustion."

"I think we should take it easy and let them go back and think of a solution. It happens to be the weekend tomorrow, so if there is no other way, let them go to the countryside."

Thinking of this idea, Zhao Gang's eyes lit up: "Oh, this is a good idea, how come I am so smart!"

Immediately, Zhao Gang went straight to the cafeteria.

"Everyone, put down what you are doing and listen to me!" Everyone looked at Zhao Gang, who came with ill intentions. There must be something bad happening when this kid came to the cafeteria.

"The ideas that everyone has submitted in the past few days are pretty good, but they are not mature enough and need to be improved. After everyone is done, go back and improve them."

"I will collect your work next Monday. Everyone must write well. I will compare your work then. If anyone doesn't do anything, don't blame me for being rude!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a big carrot flew over, scaring Zhao Gang so much that he subconsciously dodged and then started cursing.

"Which bastard threw it? Damn it, what if it hits me?"

Unable to hold back his anger, Sha Zhu stood up and shouted, "I smashed it, so what? Zhao Gang, don't think I won't hit you just because you're the director!"

"I've been putting up with you for a few days, but you don't do the real work, but you do a lot of shit. Which director is like you, doing all these bullshit all the time?"

"Sha Zhu, it's you again! Why are you involved in everything?" Zhao Gang said angrily, but he couldn't do anything about Sha Zhu.

A scoundrel who relies on wild vegetable dumplings to gain the attention of Director Yang and other leaders.

"What's wrong with me? You have so many problems every day. Where do you get so many problems? You ask us to do this and that, and you also ask us to find a solution."

"We've figured it out. All the benefits are yours. If you can't do your job as a director well, you might as well just quit!"

Seeing how brave Sha Zhu was, everyone in the cafeteria just cheered him on and encouraged him to confront him as much as possible.

"Hey, Silly Zhu, do you understand? This is a great thing for the common people of the world. It has been done to benefit the world. How can it be a small matter?"

"Believe it or not, I will report to Director Yang that you have no regard for the people of this world."

Zhao Gang's threat would be fatal to an educated person, but he happened to meet Sha Zhu.

"You can say whatever you want. I'm not afraid of you. I can't even live a good life myself, so why should I care about what others do?"

"I'm almost starving to death, and I'm busy with you all day. You're a director and you don't have any ideas at all. You might as well let me take over!"

"You!" Zhao Gang was speechless and pointed at Sha Zhu angrily without saying a word.

The others stared in amazement at the brave and invincible Sha Zhu and the incompetent Zhao Gang.

"That's right, Director Zhao, if you're good enough, you can figure it out yourself!"

"You don't give us any benefits at all. You make us think about this and that all day long. You are of no use at all. What's the point of having you?"

"Yes, you want us to do things without any benefits. We are busy enough in a day, and we still have to take care of your things. What a thing."

Under the leadership of Sha Zhu, the crowd became excited in an instant.

"You. You..." Zhao Gang couldn't even speak clearly, so he could only leave in shame.

"Hmph, what the hell!" Sha Zhu snorted coldly.

Zhao Gang was driven away in anger, and everyone was very happy. Finally, there would be less trouble.

"Director Yang, please help me! Director Yang!" Zhao Gang went to Director Yang and complained about his injustice.

"What's the matter? Who bullied you again?"

"The cafeteria, it's all those people in the cafeteria. I followed your instructions, but they didn't obey me and said I was a waste."

Zhao Gang explained the whole thing in a long and rambling manner, not forgetting to add some exaggeration to it, saying how innocent and pitiful he was.

"This is really too much. These people in the cafeteria are really!" Director Yang was also angry.

But the one who was angry was not the cafeteria, but Zhao Gang in front of him.

He was personally appointed as the canteen director. Zhao Gang has one advantage, which is that he does not have any special talents, which is the best under normal circumstances.

But precisely at this time, lack of talent means incompetence, and incompetence means original sin.

But it is not easy to replace him now. In the current position, it is better to withdraw one person and let the next person take his place, rather than parachute in or promote someone at will.

Director Yang asked back: "How do you plan to deal with this matter?"

Zhao Gang had already prepared a plan, and said directly: "This is my plan. Don't they want benefits? I think we should give them to them."

"It's almost autumn harvest time now. I think our steel mill is so large that if we give them a little bit of grain as a reward, they will definitely be very enthusiastic."

"It would be great if you can come up with it, but it's no loss if you can't. Director Yang, do you think this is okay?"

It's a big deal, everyone knows this trick.

It is indeed easy to take the bait at this time by promising big profits over grain.

"Okay, let's do as you say. I'll give you 100 kilograms of coarse grains, and you can do whatever you want. I will definitely make sure there are results in addition to grain."

"Director Yang, don't worry. I'll do the work and you just wait for good news." Zhao Gang responded excitedly.

"I hope so. Now go and get busy."

"Okay." Zhao Gang received the order and went straight to the cafeteria.

Everyone watched Zhao Gang run back and locked him outside the door.

clap clap-

"Open the door! Open the door!"

"Don't worry about him, let's do our thing!"

"Open the door, I have something good to say, very good news."

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, "Why don't we open the door and see what good thing it is?"

"Ask what the good news is first, and then open the door if it is a good news."

Immediately, someone looked at Zhao Gang through the window and said, "What's the good news? You tell me first."

Zhao Gang seemed to turn a blind eye to this unfair treatment: "Director Yang and I have applied for it. Whoever has the better idea will get a grain reward."

Then he held up five fingers and said, "5 kilograms of whole grains, how about that? Isn't that a great thing?"

"50 kilograms?!" everyone exclaimed.

These 50 kilograms are enough for a person to eat normally for two months, and if you save a little, maybe it can last for three months.

"Open the door, open the door!"

Everyone happily welcomed Zhao Gang in.

Zhao Gang smiled and said, "How is it? Is it a good thing? I am good to you guys?"

"Okay, okay, Director Zhao is the best, every one of them is great."

"That's right. If we were to ask which director is the best to our workers, it would be Director Zhao."

Everyone flattered him, and Zhao Gang was very pleased and enjoyed it all.

"Director Zhao, how do we get the food?" Everyone was afraid that it would not be easy to get the food.

"Didn't I tell you just now that whoever has the best idea will get the food?"

"What if there are two equally good solutions?"

"I will give it to you as usual. I will apply to Director Yang when the time comes. If Director Yang doesn't give it to me, I will find a way to subsidize it myself."

Upon hearing this, everyone cheered for Zhao Gang, without any thought of blocking him outside the door just now.

"Director Zhao is awesome!"

"I'm waiting for you to come and get it. The more good ideas the better. I will get the food together even if I have to pay for it!" Zhao Gang said with a smile.

Given his understanding of everyone in the cafeteria, he will definitely do his best if it will benefit him.

As for how many people can get food, isn't it still him who has the final say? Do these little bastards still want to play with him?

A little bit tender.

"Alright, I still need to talk to the other cafeterias, you guys go ahead and get busy."

After saying that, Zhao Gang left the cafeteria directly.

Everyone in the cafeteria looked at each other, thinking that the other party was their enemy.

Sha Zhu also wants these 50 kilograms of food.

"No, I can't figure it out by myself. I have to ask someone, or ask everyone in the yard. There must be a way."

"Okay, that's it."

Having made up his mind, Sha Zhu felt relieved and went to work happily.
