A nation's industrial development begins with junior engineers.

The steel rolling mill's only two engineers, Li Changfu and Ma Zhendong, were old-fashioned engineers who were used to drawing from right to left, so the relevant labels were naturally on the left.

Jiangxia is different; used to mechanical drawing, he marks the process requirements in the lower right corner. He wanted to change this habit, but no matter how he tried, it just felt awkward.

It's not a big problem in itself, since the relevant departments haven't yet defined the standards for drawing. As long as it's understandable, it doesn't matter how you draw it.

Li Changfu initially asked Jiang Xia to revise it, but after looking at it for a while, he felt that Jiang Xia's drawings were more pleasing to the eye than his own. So he went along with Jiang Xia's approach.

Thus, Jiangxia's blueprints were unique in the steel rolling mill.

Anyone who has worked with him can immediately recognize that the drawings were drawn by Engineer Jiang. There's no way he wouldn't understand them.

Workshop director Du Changyuan had been watching from the outside of the crowd since early morning.

As a workshop worker who usually had a very low profile in the factory, Du Changyuan never felt confident in the presence of that master craftsman.

Normally, they would offer kind advice and give way whenever possible.

But today, one is a newly promoted young engineer in the factory, the chief engineer's prized disciple; the other is Liu Yongfu, the leader of the welding team in Workshop 3, an 8th-level welder.

They had just started fighting against Yi Zhonghai's side when Du Changyuan realized his small frame couldn't handle it.

They huddled on the periphery, observing coldly.

Seeing that things were nearing completion, he jumped out and shouted, "The factory manager ordered that these fifteen sets of water sprinklers must be made today!"

"What time is it! Don't you guys still want to complete the mission?!"

"You, Yi Zhonghai! Wasn't this part assigned to you to make? How did it end up in Jia Dongxu's hands!"

"And you, Jia Dongxu! You're a first-class worker, and you're already finding fault! Why don't you just fly to the moon!"

"If you can do it, do it; if you can't, get out!"

Du Changyuan unleashed a torrent of abuse, and seeing Yi Zhonghai fall silent after his scolding, he felt extremely pleased!

Jia Dongxu, relying on his level 8 master craftsman, often caused him trouble. Every time he was about to lose his temper, Yi Zhonghai stopped him.

The frustration I felt was indescribable.

Now that's a good opportunity, let's get this off our chests and vent our anger!

Yi Zhonghai was also furious. He was still studying the blueprints and had no idea what had gotten into Jia Dongxu. Why did he have to go and cause trouble for Jiang Xia?

What's the point?!

Seeing that the workshop director was still trying to make an issue of the matter, Jiang Xia quickly stopped him. If he continued arguing, not only would it waste time, but Uncle Wang from the transport team was still waiting for the delivery!

"Director, how about you take over the individual training? The transportation team is really waiting to use this equipment!"

Du Changyuan then stopped talking, still wanting more.

"Alright, alright, let's get to work!"

"Let me make this clear from the start! Anyone who doesn't meet the deadline won't get lunch!"

Jiang Xia signaled Wu Zhu to release Jia Dongxu, but Jia Dongxu still looked resentful and unwilling to accept it.

He couldn't help but say, "Director, don't you think we should deal with the culprit who disrupted the workshop and slandered the engineer?"

Du Changyuan knew that Jiang Xia was angry when he heard her say that.

Come to think of it, if someone is walking down the street and suddenly steps in a pile of dog poop, no one would be happy.

But that kid's master is an 8th-level worker?

Du Changyuan, caught between a rock and a hard place, began to feel anxious and uncertain again.

Bah! He's just an 8th-grade worker, who knows how long he'll be retired. The other guy is a 9th-grade engineer, and so young! He even has a chief engineer behind him!

Is it hard to choose?

"Jia Dongxu severely disrupted workshop order, deducting..."

"5? 10?~"

Du Changyuan muttered to himself as he counted off while watching Jiang Xia's expression.

It wasn't until 15 that Du Changyuan noticed Jiang Xia nodding almost imperceptibly.

He immediately raised his voice: "Jia Dongxu has seriously disrupted the workshop order, half a month's salary will be deducted!"

After speaking, Du Changyuan glanced at Jiang Xia again.

Seeing that he still had a serious expression, she immediately spoke again:

"At the same time, they made unfounded accusations against our engineer comrade, and despite repeated warnings, they refused to change their ways. This has been reported to the factory office and the security department!"

Du Changyuan, a fence-sitter, rarely showed any backbone and spoke with suppressed anger.

When Jia Dongxu heard about the part about deducting wages, he exploded.

"Du Changyuan, you coward, how dare you dock my salary!"

"Are you afraid you've forgotten who my master is...?"

Before Jia Dongxu could finish speaking, Yi Zhonghai covered his mouth.

Nodding to Du Changyuan, he said, "We accept the pay cut! But, Director, what do you think about reporting this?"

Du Changyuan remained silent, his gaze constantly drifting towards Jiangxia.

Yi Zhonghai was a shrewd and experienced man; how could he not understand what he meant?

Could you really expect a dignified eighth-grade worker to beg for mercy from a young man? Sorry, he couldn't bear the embarrassment.

Even if it concerns one's own apprentice.

So he kept a close eye on Du Changyuan, making Du Changyuan scratch his head in frustration.

Jiang Xia noticed their subtle actions.

He immediately turned and left: "Alright, the matter is resolved. I have other matters to attend to in the technical department, so I'll take my leave now."

Du Changyuan called out twice behind Jiang Xia, but to his surprise, the more he called, the faster Jiang Xia walked.

"Oh, right. Quality control will mark them when the goods are received into the warehouse. Each one is different!"

Suddenly, Jiang Xia turned around and said something completely out of the blue.

After saying that, they continued on their way.

While Du Changyuan was calling out "Hey, hey," Liu Yongfu shouted at the top of his lungs, "Get to work! No meals until you finish!"

That voice completely drowned out Du Changyuan's voice.

Du Changyuan watched Jiang Xia walk away, feeling quite annoyed. He had really offended this level 8 worker.

Yi Zhonghai just stared at Du Changyuan, looking like he was determined to get an answer.

Liu Yongfu kindly came to the rescue, patting Du Changyuan on the shoulder in a casual manner: "Director, my apprentice brought me a turtle to eat yesterday."

"When I saw it, I thought, 'Wow, this is something new!' But how do you make it? I've never eaten it before."

Du Changyuan was completely confused. What turtle? I'm in such a hurry and upset, why are you talking to me about turtles?

But the level eight master called me director, damn it, Yi Zhonghai, that bastard, has never called me that.

With his mood improving, Du Changyuan immediately chimed in: "Just kill him, isn't that enough?"

"Yeah! We're just roughnecks, we've never eaten this before, we don't know."

"Later, my apprentice was really good. He grabbed that turtle by the neck and slashed it down!"

Liu Yongfu reached out and gestured across Yi Zhonghai's neck.

"Hehe, you know what, turtle is really delicious!"

After saying that, regardless of whether Du Changyuan understood or not, he patted him on the shoulder and left.

Halfway there, like Jiang Xia, I turned around and looked back.

"Oh, right. My apprentice is the one you, Yi Zhonghai, rejected back then! He's already a level two welder!"

After saying that, he laughed heartily and left.

Du Changyuan also got the idea and gritted his teeth.

I've already offended you, so I'm not afraid of you causing any trouble. After all, you're just a worker, while I'm the boss!

Besides, you've handed me Jiangxia's leverage!

Thinking of this, Du Changyuan changed his usual gentle and mild manner.

"What! You want to refuse the supervisor's assignment? Do you think the repair shop can't accommodate you anymore? Why don't you write a report and apply for a job transfer?"

Yi Zhonghai was first verbally attacked by Du Changyuan, and then left feeling frustrated.

For a moment, I didn't know what to say.

Seeing that Du Changyuan was determined to control Jia Dongxu, he could only kick Jia Dongxu and tell him to get back to work!

You good-for-nothing, all you do is cause trouble!
