It was evening, and I had finished work.
Wang Shouren arrived a little later than usual.
This is almost standard procedure for technicians.
It's always a bit busy. There's a small path from the factory gate to the yard, which is considered a shortcut.
Wang Shouren walked this road every day. There weren't many people, and the road wasn't easy to walk on, but it was convenient. However, the road was occasionally a bit unsafe.
The road was unusually quiet today, with a few crows occasionally flying overhead.
It makes an "ah ah" sound.
Just as he looked up, a sack fell from the sky.
Who is Wang Shouren? He reached the level of a grandmaster in Tai Chi. How could someone of his skill level possibly be caught in a sack?
With a step back and a thrust of the elbow, a cry of "Ouch!" was heard as the man was sent flying by Wang Shouren's impact.
Upon closer inspection, wow, it was Wang Da Nao.
"Wang Da Nao, you're pretty impressive, coming here to ambush me and even trying to trap me in a sack. Very good, very good." Wang Shouren clenched his fist and walked towards Wang Da Nao.
After getting off work today, Wang Da Nao Nao became angrier and angrier, and the way the people around him were looking at him made him really unable to bear it.
Three months' salary! His heart was bleeding!
He was even demoted two ranks; this grudge must be incredibly deep.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to just kill Wang Shouren.
He had already planned it out. Today, he would first break one of Wang Shouren's hands, and then slowly, slowly torture him until he could finally vent his anger.
But he never expected that this pretty boy would be so capable.
Just that one blow, and the pain was so intense he couldn't even stand up.
When Wang Shouren walked up to him, he experienced fear for the first time.
"Wang Da Nao, interesting." Wang Shouren's lips curled up slightly, and under the moonlight, he looked exactly like a devil.
"No...no, I was wrong...Grandpa, I was wrong too..."
"Too late!"
"ah!"
"Hiss... No, no, no..."
There are already few people on the path, and with this eerie scream, even fewer people will come. What if something really happens and they get silenced?
Wang Da Tou lay on the ground like a dead dog. He had no idea what he had just experienced. It was the first time he had realized that hitting someone could cause such pain.
He shrank his neck, trying to hug himself, but even a slight movement caused him to be unable to move due to the pain all over his body.
Wang Shouren patted him lightly twice.
With each tap, Wang Da's head trembled violently.
After being patted twice, he felt much better and was even able to stand up.
But he dared not move; he was truly afraid that Wang Shouren would strike him again.
"Wang Da Nao, you don't think this is over, do you? Did you enjoy the beating today? Oh, don't worry, I was planning to beat you up every day anyway. Today, let me count." Wang Shouren counted on his fingers: "You stood up to me three times, so how about this, I'll beat you thirty times, once a day. Don't worry, when I hit you, I'll only make you feel pain, not hurt you."
"You'll experience this comfortable feeling thirty more times today."
Wang Shouren squatted down, patted Wang Da Nao's cheek, and his eyes emitted a cold light in the darkness: "Don't you dare think about committing suicide."
Wang Da's head twitched again, thirty... thirty times?
By the time he came to his senses, Wang Shouren was already gone.
He was left alone in the alley, shivering. He stood up, and the pain was gone. But the pain he had felt earlier was real.
It all felt like a dream.
Yes, I was dreaming.
The intense pain he had just experienced had caused him to hallucinate, and he was even willing to deceive himself rather than go through it again.
But when he saw Wang Shouren squatting over him again the next day, he realized that it was not a dream.
Sometimes, Wang Shouren would reflect on himself, wondering if his methods of tormenting people were a bit too much. After reflecting for a while, he felt that, well, he could go even further.
I examine myself three times a day: Was I too polite? Did I give him too much face? Should I have taken action?
The days that followed were busy again.
Ever since Factory Director Yang took notice of the situation in this workshop, the entire workshop's progress has changed dramatically. Everyone who comes to the workshop, whether a newcomer or a veteran, is incredibly cooperative.
Questions are always answered, and requests are always granted; this is probably the treatment Wang Shouren receives now.
Wang Shouren experienced both pain and joy.
I'm under a lot of pressure during the day, so I go to Wang Da Nao's place at night to relieve that pressure. Life's not too bad, actually.
After waiting for Wang Da Nao for half a month, the workshop director of Workshop 4 came to visit with gifts. The two sat down and had a frank exchange, finally reaching a consensus in a pleasant conversation. Wang Da Nao expressed his deep gratitude, saying that he would follow Technician Wang's lead from now on. Technician Wang and the workshop director fully exchanged their opinions on this matter, and then went their separate ways.
What's giving Wang Shouren a headache is that his workshop seems to be under someone's surveillance.
Not only do we have to complete a lot of work every day, but we also have to prepare a lot of reports to deal with inspections by factory leaders.
He had previously offered his opinion to Comrade Zhao Wuliang on this matter.
Comrade Zhao Wuliang simply patted him on the shoulder and said, "This is Director Yang's idea, it will benefit you in the future," and then didn't continue.
Later, I asked my master a question.
His own mentor also told him that this was a good thing. The factory leaders each had their own factions and their own tasks. Since they were gathered together to listen to Wang Shouren's report, there was only one possibility: a higher-level leader might come down to take a look.
Wang Shouren then realized that this was a perfect match.
Logically speaking, there's no rush for something new to take more than a month. But now it seems things are different.
Factory Director Yang now treats him like one of his own. After all, the technical department's affairs are still under his jurisdiction. Unlike when he first joined the factory, when he was given some encouragement and told things like "Keep up the good work, I believe in you," Director Yang now talks to him frequently and sometimes even reprimands him directly.
This made Wang Shouren extremely uneasy.
Of course, this was an act by him.
The current situation is that as long as you have ideas and are capable, you can get ahead. Director Yang won't suppress Wang Shouren; he scolds him to help him advance. Many veterans who have transferred from the military are like this.
This is called true nature.
However, Wang Shouren did not think highly of this kind of genuine personality. When it came to struggle, he still had to look to the smiling Director Li.
