The next day.
At noon, many workers in the second workshop of the steel rolling mill returned to the workshop after lunch.
As we walked, we were still talking about what happened yesterday.
"Let me tell you, Yi Zhonghai is really vicious. Yesterday, I went to give him a gift and he threw a pack of Class C cigarettes aside in disgust!"
"That's nothing. The Class B treatment I offer isn't much better!" said Bingzi, a worker at the steel mill who had some friction with Jia Dongxu.
I was already annoyed by Jia Dongxu's sarcasm, and now I still have to give gifts to his master. It's so cowardly!
He only turned 30 this year and is already a third-level fitter. He is respected wherever he goes, but he is overshadowed by a first-level fitter in the second workshop.
Why should he do that?
If there was no chance, no dog would stay in this place!
Another fitter next to him said humiliatingly:
"Master Yi used to be a good guy in the factory. He acted so well that even the factory director was tricked into choosing him as the director."
"But I didn't expect that as soon as he got the job, this would happen before he even had time to relax!"
Several people were discussing in low voices, and at the same time they all made up their minds.
If they had a better place to go, they would not stay in this steel mill for a moment!
Liu Xiaojun looked at the people written down in the little notebook, each with an indignant look on their faces, and his heart was surging. The angrier they were, the easier it would be for him to poach them!
At the same time, Qin Huairu, who was passing by the second workshop to deliver food to Jia Dongxu, had an idea.
The Master Yi they were discussing just now should be the uncle Yi Zhonghai, right?
Last night, an old man called her out of the house and talked to her for a long time. The meaning of his words was a bit ambiguous, but she didn't dare to confirm it.
Could it be related to this matter?
However, Qin Huairu has not yet fallen to the point where she needs to rely on other things to exchange for food. She is still a relatively decent person and has not agreed to anything from Yi Zhonghai.
She didn't think much about it and went back after delivering the meal to Jia Dongxu.
As soon as Qin Huairu left, Jia Dongxu stood at the highest point of the second workshop with his meal in his hand, put one foot on the precision machine, and started eating without any hesitation.
Someone next to him advised earnestly:
"Dongxu, be careful, don't break the machine. Besides, it's still running, and the big gears are very dangerous. If you get caught in them, someone could die."
"Damn it, you're cursing me, kid! Don't you know my master is the workshop director? Be careful or I'll have him assign you the most tiring job!"
Jia Dongxu didn't listen, but instead cursed the person who said it. He didn't care at all about the machines and sharp gears that were still running behind him. This group of people were just jealous that he had a master who was the workshop director.
Oh, and didn't the factory say they'd announce that Uncle Yi would be promoted to Workshop Director this afternoon? Why hasn't there been any action yet?
The general broadcast time is between 1:00 and 1:30 p.m.
Jia Dongxu didn't have a watch and didn't know the exact time. Just as he was about to find someone to ask, he saw Liu Xiaojun.
This guy opened so many chain rabbit shops, so he must have watches. Jia Dongxu's eyes lit up:
"Xiaojun, please tell me what time it is! I need to listen to the factory broadcast."
Liu Xiaojun looked at the impatient Jia Dongxu and could tell what he meant. If it were normal, he would definitely not bother to pay attention to him, but today there was a good show to watch, and he didn't mind telling Jia Dongxu at all.
"It's one o'clock. The factory broadcast is about to start."
When Jia Dongxu heard this, he immediately opened his mouth and shouted:
"Everyone come here and listen. My master's appointment as workshop director is about to be announced. Everyone, give me a round of applause!"
"If I find anyone not clapping, don't blame me for teaching them a lesson later!" He said this while shaking a fist with his matchstick-like body.
In the crowd, Yi Zhonghai also saw this scene. He frowned slightly. Being so high-profile was not his style. He originally wanted to persuade Jia Dongxu to be more low-key, but Jia Dongxu's servile appearance pleased him, so he did not stop him.
After learning the news last night, he told the senior fitters in other workshops who had a good relationship with him. Everyone congratulated him and even said they would treat him to a meal after his appointment was finalized.
Eating is a small matter, showing off is a big matter.
So, he was also nervously waiting for the factory broadcast to announce the appointment.
And at this moment.
There was another person in the crowd who had the same mentality as Yi Zhonghai and was also waiting for the factory to announce the appointment.
That person is Liu Haizhong.
Liu Haizhong looked at Yi Zhonghai's confident expression and almost couldn't stop smiling.
Old Yi, Old Yi, if you knew that the workshop director was me, I wonder if you could still maintain that fake smile of yours this time?
In the blink of an eye, just when everyone in the second workshop gathered together, the broadcast from the Red Star Steel Mill suddenly sounded.
"All comrades, please pay attention! All comrades, please pay attention!"
"Now, let me interrupt you with a notice regarding important personnel appointments at the Red Star Steel Mill!"
Speaking of this, for some reason the broadcast suddenly stopped.
Jia Dongxu jumped up and shouted loudly.
"Quick, everyone, listen carefully! My master's personnel appointment is about to be announced!"
Yi Zhonghai smiled but pretended to scold:
"Dongxu, what are you doing so impatiently? Stop messing around."
"Oh." Jia Dongxu knew his master's character well. He wanted to be high-profile, but didn't want to be high-profile on his own initiative. It seemed like he was scolding him, but in fact, his master was very happy in his heart.
Just when everyone in the workshop was annoyed by Jia Dongxu's attitude, the sound of the broadcast suddenly resumed.
