……

Zhao Dong heard this and waved his hands repeatedly, saying with emotion: "No, no, you relied entirely on your own efforts! As your master, I actually didn't teach you anything at all. On the contrary, you always surprise me. I really... I admire you!"

Zhao Dong patted Li Yang's shoulder heavily and praised him sincerely: "Xiao Li, I have never seen an apprentice like you in my life. You are really a rising star in our steel mill! You will become a great man in the future!"

Li Yang was a little embarrassed by the praise, and quickly said modestly: "Master, please don't flatter me, I still have a lot to learn from you. Besides, I can make this level 5 workpiece today, but it's also thanks to... well, I mean, it's just luck."

Li Yang almost let the cat out of the bag and quickly coughed twice to cover it up.

In fact, he knew very well that the reason why he could make such great progress was entirely thanks to the system.

It is the system that has enabled his skills to advance by leaps and bounds, and it is the system that has given him talents that are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Thinking of this, Li Yang couldn't help but feel a little proud, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Zhao Dong was completely unaware of the flaw in Li Yang's words. He just nodded and said sincerely: "Xiao Li, you are too modest! People say that modesty is a common problem among geniuses. It seems that this is not entirely true. At least you are not..."

"Okay, I'll apply to the director right away, and we can get more high-end workpieces from key units today, hahahahaha"

Zhao Dong laughed and went to the workshop director.

At this moment, his heart was filled with admiration and expectation for Li Yang, and he wanted to tell Director Qian the good news immediately so that he could also see the amazing talent of his apprentice.

"Haha, Director Qian, take a quick look, this is the fifth-level workpiece that Li Yang just processed, the precision is very high!"

Zhao Dongxing rushed in, put the parts in his hand on the table, and smiled proudly at Qian Changhai.

Upon hearing this, Qian Changhai was stunned at first, then his eyes widened and he looked at the workpiece in front of him in disbelief.

"Ah?! This is really processed by Li Yang?"

Director Qian muttered to himself, his face full of shock and surprise. He had just produced a level 3 workpiece yesterday, and today he produced a level 5 workpiece. What was he doing?

He carefully picked up the parts, looked up and down at every detail, and praised sincerely: "The workmanship is fine, the size is standard, this craftsmanship is probably better than most of the masters in our factory!"

Zhao Dong, who was standing by, smiled and nodded repeatedly.

"Director, my apprentice is really amazing! As soon as he came to work today, he did this to me, which shocked me! In my opinion, our workshop should give him more advanced workpieces to practice, so as not to bury this talent."

Zhao Dong talked non-stop, his eyes full of appreciation and respect for Li Yang.

Just as he was about to continue praising his apprentice, the office door was suddenly pushed open and a familiar figure walked in.

It was another level eight fitter – Yi Zhonghai.

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai had a gloomy face and seemed to be in a bad mood.

I just lost face in Siheyuan yesterday and was removed from my position as mediator in public by Director Wang.

I came here today to receive the task, and when I stood at the door I heard that Zhao Dong was going to process a level 5 workpiece for Li Yang, and I became even more furious.

"Master Zhao, what are you doing? You are giving a level 5 workpiece to an apprentice who has just entered the workshop. This is simply ridiculous!"

Yi Zhonghai questioned him bluntly, his tone very unfriendly.

Zhao Dong was stunned when he heard this, then he frowned and asked in confusion: "Master Yi, what do you mean? Although Li Yang is young, he has great skills. Isn't it normal for him to process a level 5 workpiece? Besides, you don't have any grudges against him, why are you suddenly talking about him?"

Yi Zhonghai sneered, pointed at the workpiece in Zhao Dong's hand, and said sarcastically: "Just relying on this? A mere third-level worker can make a fifth-level workpiece? Master Zhao, you think too highly of him, don't you? Don't think you are great just because you made a third-level workpiece. You have to take one step at a time. Don't take a big step at once, or you will get hurt!"

When these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned. Qian Changhai and Zhao Dong had never expected that Yi Zhonghai, who had always been honest and upright, would actually confront someone in person. For a moment, the atmosphere became solemn.

Zhao Dong frowned even more and his tone became serious.

"Master Yi, you have to provide evidence when you speak. Look at this level 5 workpiece. How can it be made by a level 3 worker? Although Li Yang is young, you have seen his craftsmanship. Why do you deny him so easily?"

As he spoke, Zhao Dong placed the workpiece in his hand heavily on the table, staring at Yi Zhonghai with burning eyes, as if he was going to argue with him to the end.

Yi Zhonghai was furious when he saw this. He glared at Zhao Dong and said coldly, "Master Zhao, what do you mean? I have lived for so many years, and I still can't tell the difference between an apprentice and a master? With Li Yang's little skill, can he make a level 5 workpiece? It's simply a fantasy!"

"Bah! Don't think you are a master and you are right!" Zhao Dong was irritated by Yi Zhonghai's attitude. He was no longer polite and raised his voice to retort, "What's the matter? Are you dissatisfied with my apprentice's success, or are you dissatisfied with me giving him a chance? Master Yi, we are both eighth-level workers, and no one is better than the other!"

Hearing what Zhao Dong said, Yi Zhonghai became even more furious.

Ever since he was humiliated by Li Yang in the courtyard, he had been wishing to cut the boy into pieces. Now, hearing that Zhao Dong was going to process a level 5 workpiece for Li Yang, it was simply adding fuel to the fire, leaving him with a lot of resentment that he had nowhere to vent.

In a hurry, Yi Zhonghai no longer cared about his face and reputation, and shouted angrily:

"Zhao Dong! Don't take advantage of the fact that you are his master and do whatever you want! These parts are needed by key units. If they are scrapped, do you want Li Yang to be responsible, or do you want to bear the consequences yourself?"

Yi Zhonghai's aggressive attitude completely angered Zhao Dong.

He slammed the table heavily, his eyes widened as big as copper bells, staring straight at Yi Zhonghai, and said word by word:

"The scrap rate is too high, right? Then let me tell you, Li Yang is my apprentice. If there is a problem, I, Zhao Dong, will be the first to bear the responsibility for him! Isn't it just a few materials and bonuses? I won't let my apprentice suffer for such a small profit!"

As they talked, the two quarreled more and more fiercely, and neither of them was willing to give in.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the office was tense and almost a shooting occurred.
