Siheyuan: I am Banggeng's uncle

Chapter 858 Be low-key in life, but high-profile in work!

Around 5 p.m., Lin Yuemei rode her bicycle to Lin Jianjun's house. When she pushed her bicycle into the courtyard, she saw Lin Zhongtian squatting under the eaves with a depressed look on his face.

When Lin Yuemei saw Lin Zhongtian and noticed his expression, she smiled and asked him, "Xiaotian! Why are you sitting here alone? Judging from your expression, who upset you?"

Last night, after learning about Jia Dongming's arrangements, Lin Zhongtian thought that his participation in the training course was a done deal. So this morning, when Lin Zhongtian went to the factory to ask for leave, he told his section chief that he wanted to attend the training course. As a result, many leaders in the factory knew that Lin Zhongtian was going to the training course.

This morning, Lin Zhongtian went with Wu Tianpeng to the registration office to complete the formalities. To Lin Zhongtian's surprise, the director in charge of the procedures, Director Wang, did not even give Wu Tianpeng any face. Later, although Wu Tianpeng said that he would arrange for an expert to teach him the technology of repairing industrial machine tools, his colleagues in the factory did not believe him at all. As a result, he left his colleagues with a bad impression of being a naive and unreliable person.

Because of the sarcastic remarks from his colleagues behind his back, Lin Zhong was in a sullen mood when he got home from work. Even his beloved little daughter was unwilling to leave him, and he sat alone under the eaves, lost in thought.

Lin Yuemei's arrival pulled Lin Zhongtian back to reality from his daze. Faced with Lin Yuemei's question and thinking about what had happened at the factory, Lin Zhongtian replied sullenly, "Aunt! Didn't Uncle say that he would arrange for me to go to a training class? So when I went to the factory to ask for leave, I told our section chief that I wanted to go to the training class to get a student certificate."

"I originally thought it was a done deal, but I didn't expect that Director Wang would disagree. Now my colleagues in the factory are all saying that I'm bragging, and some even say that I'm young and unreliable. Now my colleagues in the factory are laughing at me behind my back."

Upon hearing Lin Zhongtian's explanation, Lin Yuemei finally understood why her nephew was sitting alone under the eaves, sulking. Knowing Lin Zhongtian's boastful nature, Lin Yuemei saw this as a good opportunity to teach him a lesson. She immediately admonished him, "Xiaotian! On your first day leaving school and starting work in the factory, what did your grandfather teach you? He told you to be humble in your personal life but ambitious in your work. Why did you ignore his words?"

"Before this training course was established, several senior executives from the Ministry of Industry set the tone, prohibiting anyone from placing their connections into the training course. Your uncle arranged for you to join the training course, which was something that couldn't be discussed openly in the first place. But you actually went around telling everyone in the machine factory about it. Have you ever thought about how much trouble it would cause your uncle if someone used this to report you?"

When Lin Zhongtian went to work at the factory at noon, his colleagues learned that he had not successfully joined the training course, and they mocked him behind his back. This made Lin Zhongtian wish he could disappear into the ground, and he even resented Jia Dongming, thinking that Jia Dongming had made him look bad at the factory.

Hearing Lin Yuemei's reprimand and reflecting on his actions, Lin Zhongtian realized just how foolish he had been. He explained guiltily, "Auntie! I didn't mean to show off in the factory. When I asked our section chief for leave, he asked me why I was asking for leave again, since I had just asked for leave. So I just said it casually. I never expected that the news would spread throughout the factory."

"You just said it casually, but have you ever thought about it? You're the eldest grandson of the Lin family. Our patriarch values ​​your future so much, yet he couldn't get you into the training program. And you went and announced to outsiders that you could cut in line to get into the training program. Do you know that your actions almost harmed your uncle?" Lin Yuemei heard Lin Zhongtian's explanation. Although she knew that this matter was nothing to Jia Dongming, in order to teach Lin Zhongtian a lesson, Lin Yuemei deliberately made the matter seem very serious and began to scold him.

"Yuemi! Has Xiaotian's matter really brought some unnecessary trouble to Dongming?" Lin Jianjun, who was drinking tea inside, heard Lin Yuemei scolding Lin Zhongtian in the courtyard and immediately came out of the house, asking Lin Yuemei with a worried expression. Hearing Lin Jianjun's question and seeing his worried expression, Lin Yuemei winked at him and said, "Brother! The heads of the Ministry of Industry have clearly stated that it is forbidden for anyone to place people with connections in the training courses, but this kid is still showing off everywhere."

"If he hadn't boasted about it everywhere, the workers in the machine repair shop wouldn't have known about it, and who would have mocked him? Instead, he not only failed to realize his mistake, but also started blaming others."

Lin Jianjun and Lin Yuemei are siblings, so he knows Lin Yuemei's personality very well. When he saw Lin Yuemei wink at him, he immediately guessed her intention and scolded Lin Zhongtian in a very stern tone: "Xiaotian! I was just wondering why you were sitting there so sullenly after you came home from get off work. Now I know what's going on."

"Your uncle arranged for you to skip the training course to learn technology, which violated the regulations of several senior executives in the department. Instead of keeping a low profile, you showed off everywhere. Do you know that your behavior will harm your uncle? Now, instead of realizing your mistake, you are blaming your uncle. I think you need to be taught a lesson."

Upon hearing Lin Jianjun's reprimand, Lin Zhongtian realized that his unintentional actions had almost harmed Jia Dongming. He hurriedly asked Lin Yuemei with concern, "Aunt! When I asked for leave, the section chief asked me why I needed to take leave again, so I told him the reason. But I never intended to show off at the factory, let alone harm my uncle."

Hearing Lin Zhongtian's explanation and seeing that he finally realized his mistake, Lin Yuemei nodded in satisfaction and reminded him, "Xiao Tian! This incident should serve as a lesson for you. Only in this way will you remember why your grandfather told you to be low-key in your personal life and high-profile in your work after you start working at the factory!"

"Your uncle has already made arrangements for your training course. Tomorrow morning at 8:00 AM sharp, go to the gate of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill and wait for your uncle. He will personally take you to complete the formalities."

"What! Aunt! Are you serious? I can really skip the line to attend the training class?" Lin Zhongtian, who was regretting his actions, could hardly believe his ears when he heard Lin Yuemei's words. He asked Lin Yuemei with an incredulous expression.

"Xiaomei! Wang Deming, who is in charge of handling the onboarding procedures, is known in the department for being ruthless. Will he really agree to process Xiaotian's onboarding? Won't this have a negative impact on Dongming?" Lin Jianjun was shocked when he heard Lin Yuemei's announcement. Thinking of Wang Deming's personality, Lin Jianjun asked Lin Yuemei with a worried expression.

Upon hearing Lin Jianjun and his son Lin Zhongtian's inquiry, Lin Yuemei smiled and explained to Lin Jianjun, "Brother! Wang Deming has already been transferred back to the ministry, and Xiaotian was personally taken to register by Wu Tianpeng, so he didn't take up any training class spots and naturally won't have any impact on Dongming."

Upon hearing Lin Yuemei's explanation and learning that Wang Deming had been transferred from the training course preparation team, Lin Jianjun showed a surprised expression. He then instructed Lin Zhongtian, "Xiaotian! Consider this a lesson for you. After dinner, I will personally call Director Zhao of your factory to ask for leave for you. In the coming days, you must study hard in the training course and not let us down."

Upon learning that he could rejoin the training program, Lin Zhongtian was incredibly excited. Facing Lin Jianjun's watchful gaze, Lin Zhongtian quickly nodded and assured him, "Dad! Don't worry, as the saying goes, 'A fall into the pit, a gain in your wit!' I will remember this lesson! I promise I will never make the same mistake again." Be humble in your personal life, but ambitious in your work!
