Siheyuan: After becoming a traitor, first let the Huai Ru River overflow its banks.

"Such a big fish, Jianjun, you're really amazing."

Qin Jingru's praise was heartfelt.

She was from the countryside and had seen how rural people fished.

Li Jianjun is different. He grew up in the city and knowing how to fish is already quite impressive.

"You're inexperienced at fishing this time, I'll give you a few more next time."

Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru were both standing at the door. Li Jianjun gave the fish to Qin Jingru, which made Qin Huairu feel uneasy.

Li Jianjun is too good to Qin Jingru.

Although it's normal for Li Jianjun and Qin Jingru to be in love since neither of them is married, she still felt uncomfortable.

Perhaps this is a woman's jealousy and possessiveness.

"Sister, look how big the carp is."

"Li Jianjun gave it to me."

Qin Jingru excitedly spoke to Qin Huairu as she held the fish high in the air.

But in Qin Huairu's eyes, Qin Jingru seemed to be showing off. "What's so special about a fish?"

Thinking about how Sha Zhu had let him take all the flour and meat from the cafeteria for free just to curry favor with him.

Qin Jingru really has never seen the world.

Seeing Qin Huairu's indifferent attitude, Qin Jingru seemed to have guessed something.

"Hmph, you're just being sour. Anyway, you'll never have the chance to marry Brother Jianjun in this lifetime."

...

After being released from the police station, Sha Zhu asked Yi Zhonghai many times when he could go back to work.

Yi Zhonghai only said that it would be soon, and that he could only start working after he had established a good relationship with Director Yang.

Fortunately, Sha Zhu also works as a cook at a restaurant to make ends meet, barely managing to survive. Xu Damao, on the other hand, is still working as a toilet attendant, continuing to work after everyone else has gone home.

Chapter 186 Qin Huairu's Jealousy

When will this day end?

Finally, after cleaning up, Xu Damao's emotions exploded.

While others are off work, he is working; while others are starting work, he is still working.

Based on this calculation, the daily working hours are around ten hours, and sometimes even up to eleven hours.

He's a skilled worker; it's a complete waste to make him clean toilets every day.

"I quit. Whoever wants to do it can do it."

Finally, one time after everyone else had left work, Xu Damao worked until 8 p.m., and the smell of the toilet was so strong that he didn't even want to eat.

He tossed his tools aside, thinking to himself that he had to get back to his original job.

Film projectionists are highly respected.

Whenever he went to the countryside to show movies, the young women and wives would look at him with admiration.

Unfortunately, all of that is now in the past.

He carelessly tossed his tools into the hut and, dragging his weary body, prepared to go home.

It's already 8 p.m., and the cafeteria has long since run out of food.

I'd better go home and have a simple meal.

As I rode my bike through a neighborhood, a movie was playing there.

For some reason, the scene was chaotic, and there were no images on the screen.

People were still discussing it amongst themselves.

"What's going on? Why is no one showing up again?"

"The new projectionist isn't good enough; he's too young and inexperienced."

“Xu Damao is different; he’s never had any problems showing movies.”

When Xu Damao heard someone mention his name, he immediately stopped and quickly figured out what was going on.

It turned out that the new projectionist who replaced him was not skilled enough, and the movie tapes could not be played at all.

People who came to see the movie had a lot of complaints.

In those days, film projectionists had to be highly educated and then recommended by their work unit to specialized institutions for training. Only after graduating could they project films.

Back then, after graduating from high school at the age of eighteen, Xu Damao was recommended to study film projection.

At that time, he studied hard to learn more skills and his grades were among the best in his class.

After graduating from the training institution, I went directly to work at Hongxing Steel Plant and never made a mistake in my work.

"Hey everyone, don't rush, don't rush, let me check the tape again."

The new projectionist looked to be in his early twenties, a young and inexperienced guy.

He couldn't find anyone at the scene, and he was sweating profusely with anxiety, but he just couldn't figure out why.

Xu Damao roughly knew what was going on; it seemed the tape had been put in backwards.

This young man's skills are still lacking.

Xu Damao smiled wryly. He, a high-tech worker, was assigned to clean toilets, but instead, a mediocre person was sent to show movies.

However, this has nothing to do with him.

"Isn't that Xu Damao?"

Xu Damao originally intended to stay out of it and walk away, but he didn't expect to be recognized.

"It's Xu Damao."

"Young Master Zhang, you can ask Xu Damao for advice. He's a veteran film projectionist. There's nothing he can't do."

Master Zhang, whose real name is Zhang Hongmin, was sweating profusely but couldn't find the problem.

"Xu Damao?"

He had heard that the other party had the technology to project movies.

He would be scolded by his boss if he delayed the movie screening.

At that moment, Zhang Hongmin disregarded his pride and directly sought advice from Xu Damao.

"Master Xu, could you do me a favor?"

Seeing the cigarette Zhang Hongmin offered, Xu Damao's pride was satisfied.

"Xiao Zhang, right? Let me take a look at you."

Xu Damao was skilled in his work and solved the problem in no time.

"okay."

As the figures reappeared on the movie screen, some people gave Xu Damao a thumbs up.

"Master Xu's skills are still the best."

Zhang Hongmin thanked Xu Damao repeatedly.

However, Xu Damao also had his own selfish motives.

"Actually, the tape was just put in backwards just now. Xiao Zhang, your technique still needs improvement."

Zhang Hongmin nodded quickly in agreement.

"I'm a recent graduate, I can't compare to you, a veteran film projectionist."

"It would be even better if you could take me with you when you have some free time."

Xu Damao's purpose was exactly that.

"I wouldn't call it bringing along anyone; I'm no longer a movie screener."

"If you are interested in learning, you can talk to Director Yang and ask him to reinstate me to my position temporarily."

Xiao Zhang suddenly understood Xu Damao's intention.

Xu Damao's starting job will not affect his normal work.

Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill should have been equipped with three film projectionists; the other one, a woman, went home to have a baby.

Xiao Zhang, a recent graduate, was entrusted with important responsibilities and was extremely busy.

“Okay, Master Xu. I’ll bring this up with Director Yang tomorrow.”

Xu Damao was smug, having achieved his goal.

Given Xiao Zhang's current film screening capabilities, Director Yang probably wouldn't be comfortable with him either.

His reinstatement was a logical step.

Ha ha.

Once he becomes a film projectionist, he'll definitely give Li Jianjun a good beating.

If it weren't for this kid, I wouldn't have gone from being a high-ranking movie projectionist to managing a toilet.

Moreover, a few days ago, Li Jianjun went too far and arbitrarily extended his working hours.

"Just wait, I will not only reinstate the film projectionist, but I will also become the leader of the workers' picket team."

Xu Damao silently recited the words to himself, took the cigarette Xiao Zhang offered him, and left the scene.

...

Yi Zhonghai agreed to help Sha Zhu return to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, naturally pulling strings behind the scenes.

Since MCA took over the second canteen, the work has proceeded in an orderly manner, neither particularly outstanding nor particularly lagging behind.

Yi Zhonghai couldn't be found to have any faults.
