Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

Hearing this, Qin Huairu finally showed an expression of sudden enlightenment on his face, and then it was replaced by a rogue look.

He knows Bang Terr too well.

He was spoiled by himself and Jia Zhang since he was a child. With the support of Yi Zhonghai, his style of behavior in the workshop must be particularly arrogant and domineering, and he is not liked by others.

You may even be disliked by your coworkers.

Plus, Banggeng likes to be sneaky when doing things.

In this situation, if the deputy director of the workshop asked everyone to form teams of two, it would be strange if someone wanted to team up with Banggeng.

As for helping Banggeng solve this problem, it is almost impossible.

The brain is in someone else's body. The other apprentices in the workshop are unwilling to team up with Banggeng, and team formation is voluntary. No matter how powerful Qin Huairu is, he can't force them to team up with Banggeng.

Unless you give others benefits and let them see the benefits of teaming up with Banggeng.

Thinking of this, an idea suddenly popped into Qin Huairu's mind, his eyes lit up, and then he shifted his gaze to Yi Zhonghai.

"Lao Yi..."

"Although you have been demoted to a third-level fitter by the steel mill, your eighth-level fitter skills are still there."

"There are definitely some apprentices who can't find a master."

"Can you find an apprentice to team up with Bang Geng? As long as he is willing to help Bang Geng, you can accept him as your apprentice and teach him some locksmithing techniques."

When Jia Zhang heard this, she was immediately attracted by the solution, because the Jia family would not have to lose a penny with this solution.

As for Yi Zhonghai's locksmith skills, in Jia Zhang's opinion, they are worthless unless they can be exchanged for money.

He nodded immediately: "Huai Ru's idea is good."

"Lao Yi..."

"You are Bang Geng's stepfather. You can't just watch Bang Geng suffer in the workshop."

"If you don't find a helper for Bang Geng, you will have to help Bang Geng move things after get off work tomorrow, and it will take until now to get off work."

"It would be better to find another apprentice in the steel mill and let him help Banggeng, so you can save some effort."

"Although we have a new apprentice, we can't just teach him all the skills. The real skills still need to be lowered."

Seeing Bang Geng looking at him with anticipation, Yi Zhonghai agreed without thinking too much.

He had thought before that Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang would cry, make a fuss, and even threaten to hang themselves to force him to help Banggeng solve the problem.

Yi Zhonghai's initial idea was to pay money and let Banggeng take out five yuan of salary to compensate the other party, so that the other party could see tangible benefits. Otherwise, why would they help a person who likes to cheat in the workshop.

Yi Zhonghai was prepared to bleed heavily for this.

Because most of Banggeng's salary was handed over to Qin Huairu, asking Banggeng to pay five yuan to compensate his co-workers was tantamount to taking money from Qin Huairu.

Given Qin Huairu's money-hungry personality, he would definitely not agree, and in the end he would have to pay for it himself.

Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, Qin Huairu could actually think of a way to prevent himself from paying.

When Yi Zhonghai was an eighth-level fitter in a steel rolling mill, he firmly believed in the saying that teaching an apprentice would starve him to death.

So even when he was Jia Dongxu's master, he held back and didn't show his real skills, otherwise Jia Dongxu wouldn't have remained a third-level fitter until his death.

Therefore, when it comes to teaching apprentices, he has a lot of experience in what to teach and what not to teach.

As long as I don't teach my real skills to the other party, and if I can really use some simple locksmith techniques to solve the problems faced by Bang Geng, I don't have to help Bang Geng move materials and products myself, I will make money from this deal no matter how I analyze it.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai did not hesitate and agreed immediately: "I agree..."

"I'll ask a few apprentices tomorrow..."

A workshop in a steel rolling mill.

As soon as Yi Zhonghai entered the workshop, he set his eyes on several apprentices who did not have a master yet.

"Xiao Zhang, come here for a moment. I have something to ask you." Yi Zhonghai waved to an apprentice who was relatively honest.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai calling him, a trace of contempt flashed across the apprentice's face and he wanted to refuse.

But thinking that the other party was only a third-level fitter after all, and had once worked as an eighth-level fitter in a steel rolling mill, he decided to see what the other party wanted to call him for.

He walked over and asked impatiently: "Master Yi..."

"Excuse me, what can I do for you?"

Yi Zhonghai smiled and continued: "Xiao Zhang..."

"As soon as you entered the workshop, I felt that you were an honest man. The most important thing to learn to be a good fitter is to be patient and hone your skills."

"As long as you study hard, you will definitely become a senior fitter in the future."

"I remember you haven't found a master in the workshop yet."

"Although my current fitter level is only level three, I still have the skills of a level eight fitter."

"If you are willing to be my disciple, I am willing to teach you all my locksmithing skills..."

"But there is one small condition..."

"From today on, you must team up with Bang Geng as a porter... The two of you must work together to complete today's porting task."

"After a month, when you finish your work as porters, you will follow Bang Geng and become my apprentice?"

"what do you think?"

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”

"If I learn the skills from other fitters, I will be lucky if I can pass the fourth or fifth level fitter exam in the future. After all, those masters themselves are fifth or sixth level fitters."

"But if you learn benchwork from me, even if you pass the fourth or fifth level benchwork exam in the future, that's considered low. As long as you study hard, you may pass the seventh level benchwork exam, or even the eighth level benchwork exam in the future."

Although the young man standing in front of Yi Zhonghai was just an apprentice, he was not stupid.

As an old employee who has worked in a workshop for more than half a year, although I don't know everything about the workshop, I know most of it.

In recent years, the most rumors in the workshop are about Yi Zhonghai.

What is this Yi Zhonghai who never teaches his apprentices real skills, and believes in teaching his apprentices to starve themselves to death...

What Yi Zhonghai has a bad character, he committed adultery with his apprentice's wife, his work grade was demoted again and again...

What Yi Zhonghai is a mean person who will take revenge for any slight...

In a word, Yi Zhonghai is definitely the worst candidate to be his master in the workshop.

Even if he couldn't find a master in a workshop after he became a regular employee, he couldn't recognize Yi Zhonghai as his master, let alone Banggeng as his senior brother.

Although he didn't have much contact with Banggeng, he still knew that Banggeng relied on Yi Zhonghai to be arrogant and domineering in the workshop and to cheat.

If I really agree to Yi Zhonghai's request, given Banggeng's style of doing things, most of Banggeng's moving tasks will fall on me.

Even if I don't work as a porter in the future and learn locksmith skills from Yi Zhonghai, Banggeng and Yi Zhonghai will assign the heavy work to me, making me their tool.

Thinking of this, the young man was even more reluctant to let Yi Zhonghai be his master. (End of this chapter)
