Among the onlookers, Yi Zhonghai shook his head helplessly.
Actually, he already knew the result as soon as the test question was released.
Three whole years.
During this period, even if Qin Huairu had put in just a little effort, she wouldn't have been unable to produce even a hexagonal nut.
You should know that hexagonal nuts are all very basic and not difficult at all.
"Ouch!"
With a deep sigh, Yi Zhonghai prepared to return to the workshop, but was suddenly stopped by someone.
"Master Yi, let's find a quiet place to talk."
When Yi Zhonghai saw that the person was Director Zhao, he instantly felt a headache coming on.
He came to see me now, and I didn't even need to ask; I knew it was about Qin Huairu.
There's no other way? Just go with them...
The two found a secluded spot, and Director Zhao even took out a cigarette and offered one to Yi Zhonghai.
After the two lit cigarettes, he explained his purpose.
"Master Yi, you saw what happened today. I don't think Qin Huairu is suitable for the job of a fitter. What do you think?"
"Director Zhao, don't rush to conclusions. Nobody's perfect. Let's give her some more time. Maybe she'll figure it out someday!"
Yi Zhonghai understood Director Zhao's meaning, but he had sacrificed so much for Qin Huairu, how could he let her go?
Upon hearing Yi Zhonghai's words, Director Zhao's face immediately showed a pained expression.
“Master Yi, why are you still pretending to be confused when you know the truth? It’s been three years! If you were going to get it, you would have done so long ago. In the history of our steel rolling mill, we have never found another person like her.”
I'm begging you, please let go when it's time to let go. It's better for everyone. It's just letting Qin Huairu change jobs, not firing her. I don't know what you're thinking."
Seeing Director Zhao's troubled expression, Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to sign several unequal treaties in order to protect Qin Huairu.
But when he returned to the workshop, his face was frighteningly gloomy.
When Qin Huairu returned to the workshop and saw Yi Zhonghai's deadpan face, she wisely refrained from causing trouble and instead went to process her formal employment procedures.
Although she failed the assessment today, it won't prevent her from automatically becoming a full-time employee after three years; she'll just receive a few dollars less in salary.
As evening approached, the courtyard became unusually lively.
Everyone knows there's an assessment today, and they're all waiting for the results!
If I pass the assessment, not only will I get a raise, but I'll also have a lot of face in front of my neighbors.
Of course, it would be embarrassing to fail the assessment.
Just as the neighbors were filled with anticipation, the first person to return arrived at the door.
To everyone's surprise, this person was Liu Guangtian, who had been out of the public eye for a long time.
And not only did he come back today, he also brought wine and meat with him.
When Aunt Er saw her son return with things in his hands, she knew it must be good news, so she quickly went to greet him.
"Guangtian, did your machine factory have an assessment today? How did you do?"
"Mom, of course I took the assessment today. Not only did I get promoted ahead of schedule, but I've also become a first-class lathe operator. I had to come home to share the news with you!"
As Liu Guangtian spoke, he raised the wine and meat in his hand, showing them off proudly.
no way?
Having been neglected and frequently beaten since childhood, he now has the opportunity to return home in glory, so of course he wants to make a big splash.
"Really?" Aunt Er happily took the wine and meat from her son's hands and said cheerfully.
"Then let's wait for your dad a little longer. Who knows, we might have double happiness tonight."
"Okay, then we'll wait a bit longer," Liu Guangtian said with a smile.
Today he was the most handsome guy in the compound, and he really enjoyed seeing the envious looks from the other people there.
Otherwise, do you think he came back to be filial to his parents? Don't be ridiculous, the family ties have already been shattered to almost nothing.
At this time, the neighbors in the courtyard were very accommodating, showering him with praise as if it were free.
"Second Aunt, you're so lucky! Look how long your family has been working at the factory, and you've already become a first-class worker. I bet you'll be enjoying your retirement from now on!"
"..."
"Second Aunt, look how successful your Guangtian is. If I remember correctly, he should be over 20 this year! It's time to talk about marriage. I have a distant niece. She's a nice girl. How about we..."
When Aunt Yan heard that she wanted to arrange a marriage for her son, Aunt Er was overjoyed. How could she disagree? She immediately agreed and said she would find a time to talk about it tomorrow.
Just as the neighbors were still gossiping, Yan Jiecheng hummed a little tune and walked toward his door.
In recent years, thanks to Sun Zhengguo's repeated breakthroughs in machine tools, many factories in the vicinity have expanded their recruitment.
At this time last year, Yan Jiecheng was fortunate enough to get a job at the machine repair shop and become a repairman.
He also took the assessment today and successfully advanced. Now he has not only been promoted ahead of schedule, but has also become a first-level maintenance worker.
This made Yan Jiecheng extremely happy. You see, his salary used to be only 18.5 yuan, but starting next month, January, it will increase to 32 yuan.
The difference between the two is not small; it's a qualitative leap.
"Hey! Jiecheng's off work."
"Yes, Uncle Li."
At the gate, Yan Bugui saw that his son's hands were empty, but he didn't dare to ask anything at first.
But seeing that her son seemed quite happy, Aunt Yan tried asking him.
"Jiecheng, how did the exam go today?"
"Mom and Dad, I was just about to tell you! I also want to tell everyone that I passed my test today and have now officially become a great proletarian worker."
Well! Yan Bugui breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that his son had successfully advanced.
But the thought of her son coming back empty-handed made her unable to stop complaining.
"Jiecheng, you said you successfully advanced, why didn't you bring something back to celebrate? Look at Guangtian, he bought wine and meat. Can't you learn from him?"
"Oh! Dad, I won't get a raise until next month, so I won't have any spare money. Besides, I give you 10 yuan a month for living expenses, right? Can't you help me celebrate?"
Yan Jiecheng was also unhappy, thinking that his father was taking advantage of him too much.
He only saves a few dollars a month, his wife doesn't work, and they're even planning to adopt a child! They don't have any spare money.
But Yan Bugui didn't care about any of that. He was already thinking about how much more money he should give his son for living expenses starting next month.
This shows that he's a really damn good father.
Next, the workers in the compound began to return one after another. Qin Huairu failed to get promoted, but she was made a permanent employee and received a raise in a roundabout way. She also bought some meat to eat that night.
Liu Haizhong didn't succeed either, but he was already a level 7 worker, and the level 8 worker assessment is very difficult, so everyone can understand.
Chen Xiaosan from the backyard successfully advanced to the next level and cut off some meat when he went home, earning praise from the neighbors once again.
Sun Zhengdong from the front yard, Sha Zhu from the middle yard, and Xu Damao from the back yard didn't participate in the assessment this time, so no one asked them.
Sun Zheng'an did sign up, but the tractor factory hadn't started the assessment yet, so he had to wait.
Overall, the performance of everyone in the hospital this time was acceptable.
Of course, Qin Huairu is an exception; she's utterly hopeless.
