Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

For now, let's focus on the guy in front of us!

With his mouth, if he were to mutter a few words about it later, he'd definitely get himself into trouble.

Sha Zhu grimaced, thinking to himself, "Why am I being so sarcastic?"

"No, please. Send it to my room tonight, and I'll try it myself."

Sha Zhu's heart clenched.

Well, my top-quality original brew is gone.

But there was no sign of discomfort on his face.

His relationship with Ran Qiuye is now settled.

No surprises, we'll get our marriage certificate after the New Year, and then have a few tables set up in the courtyard.

We invited everyone, young and old, and had a meal together, and that was it.

He didn't accept the gift money, but he kept the things he had mentioned.

The parents only have one request: that you bring your daughter back to visit often in the future.

This is our only daughter, we cherish her dearly!

"I'm leaving." Yang Jianguo lifted his leg and got into the car.

"Hurry up and go, it hurts me to see you like this." Sha Zhu waved his hand with a smile.

I rode my bike to drop Yingzi off, then, as usual, took a roundabout route, and off I went.

Upon returning to the factory, Yang Jianguo went straight into the workshop.

This is his usual routine. Being blocked outside and having to go through all sorts of polite formalities, he prefers the quiet life in the workshop.

But why aren't all the people here today?

"Where's Xu Jiadong?" Yang Jianguo asked Hua Zi.

The other person shook their head, also puzzled: "I haven't seen him. He usually arrives much earlier."

Xu Jiadong was one of the people he favored.

He would usually be in the workshop by now, ready to finalize the hiring today, but he's nowhere to be found.

"I'm going to the office." After instructing Hua Zi to have someone come and do the work, Yang Jianguo walked towards the office.

Halfway there, Director Yang stopped him, saying, "Jianguo, I was just about to come find you!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Jianguo knew he was in trouble.

Indeed, Xu Jiadong was transferred away.

Moreover, he was directly transferred back to Dongshan, his father's territory.

“His father couldn’t wait any longer, so he used his connections to send him back to work at the steel mill over there, so that he would have someone to look after him.”

"He's my only son, and I can't force him to stay."

Yang Jianguo smiled and said, "This might be a good thing. In that case, I'll head back now."

"Jianguo, so you know what's going on?"

Seeing his expression, Director Yang felt he was determined to go for it.

In my heart, I can't help but feel sorry for Xu Jiadong.

If he could stay under the leadership of the founding emperor, he would definitely be a valuable asset in a few years.

"Yes, we should get a message by noon," Yang Jianguo replied.

When I arrived at the workshop, everyone was busy.

Yang Jianguo called his apprentice aside and led him toward Master Hao.

"Master Hao, let's do it one more time."

When Master Hao saw Yang Jianguo pointing at the apprentice, he understood.

"Okay, one at a time."

The red-hot branding iron was placed on the table, and the requirements were the same as the day before.

It won't miss a single hit, so smash it!

Bang Bang~

Only steelworkers understand the power of romantic melodies, which resonate repeatedly in the workshop.

Of the five people, only one landed two blows, which is not bad.

By the time they got to Li Yaoguo's side, there were four people.

Master Hao stood to the side with him.

He will take these people back to the workshop in a moment and explain everything that needs to be explained.

Even if we can't keep them, we can't ruin their future.

Being an ordinary worker is quite good.

As for why Master Hao was sent, Yang Jianguo was training a team.

He will definitely take over Director Ma's position from now on.

He has to be in charge of all the big and small affairs in the workshop, and he always needs a few capable people under his command.

If he's not around, Li Yaoguo is the one in charge.

Master Hao was his assistant, handling all sorts of trivial matters.

With these two people around, Yang Jianguo can focus on improving his skills and personal abilities.

If he has to do everything himself, how can he learn and improve?

After going around the circle, I went through each of the craftsmen's work.

The apprentices realized that the assessment content had been included since the first day.

Unfortunately, no one took it to heart.

Even Zhang Chao and Qin Huairu, who performed well, were the same.

The two were able to pass the test smoothly because of their serious and meticulous learning attitude and spirit.

"I told you on the first day we met, do whatever I tell you to do."

Some listened, while others ignored it.

Yang Jianguo glanced at the five people in front of him and raised his hand: "Alright, it's settled then."

"Go back to the workshop and work hard. The fact that you got to this point means you're capable. As long as you're willing to learn and humble yourself, you'll definitely do well in the future."

Nodding to Master Hao, I saw him shout, "Let's go, there's no use regretting it here. Remember this lesson next time..."

After Master Hao and his men left, only Zhang Chao and Qin Huairu remained.

Zhang Chao is alright; after all, he's educated and has broadened his horizons.

I am aware of my performance and have confidence in it.

Qin Huairu was different; she had absolutely no idea what to expect.

Therefore, they bury themselves in hard work every day, afraid of falling behind.

But it was this very thought that gave her this opportunity.

...There's still a bit of luck involved!

So, she feels like she's dreaming and can't believe she's awake.

So, I've really become Yang Jianguo's apprentice and stayed in the workshop?

And now they want me to be promoted to a permanent position and get a high salary of 27.5 yuan?!

Qin Huairu trembled with excitement; finally, there was hope for the future.

"From now on, you two will officially become my apprentices. I will talk to the factory manager this afternoon and arrange for your formal employment."

"That's it. What to do next, and whether you can stay in the special workshop and learn from me, depends on your own performance."

"Don't think that just because you stayed, everything will be fine and you'll be safe." Yang Jianguo gave the two a heads-up, as a warning.

This is a common trick that masters use before their apprentices enter the school.

When people relax, they are prone to making mistakes and falling behind.

Therefore, Yang Jianguo had to wind them up.

Make that feeling of wanting to relax tighter and tighter.

Right now I just want to relax and feel safe.

cant!

This is just the beginning; it's like officially stepping inside from outside.

There's still so much to learn!

"Master, don't worry, I will definitely learn from you properly." Zhang Chao said, bowing solemnly.

Things are different now than before; you used to have to kneel and offer tea to people entering the gate.

But the respect that is due must not be lacking.

Someone taught you a skill, and you've taken it for granted.

That won’t work!

Qin Huairu, who was still sleepwalking, snapped out of her daze upon seeing this.

He hurriedly bowed, imitating her, and said, "I will definitely learn well, Master."

"Hmm." Yang Jianguo gave a nonchalant hum and led the two men to their workstations.

"Starting today, we'll learn to read drawings." Yang Jianguo opened the draft drawings they had used before and let the two of them look at them on their own.

Understand as much as you can, and ask questions if you don't understand anything.

Zhang Chao watched with great interest, while Qin Huairu was left in a bind.

She was completely bewildered, as if reading a book written in a foreign language; all she could do was clench her fists and fidget.

"Qin Huairu".

"Yes, I'm here, Master Yang."

In her nervousness, Qin Huairu forgot that she had changed her address.

Standing behind him, Zhang Chao pretended to be looking at the picture carefully and said softly, "You're wrong. You should call me Master."

Qin Huairu quickly corrected herself: "Master, I'm here!"

Yang Jianguo saw it clearly, but said nothing.

He wanted his two apprentices to help each other out and avoid the dirty tricks and infighting.

Zhang Chao's apprentice has a broad vision.

"To be honest, I originally thought Xu Jiadong was more promising and that he could stay with Zhang Chao."

Yang Jianguo's words immediately made Qin Huairu's heart jump into her throat.

He was just one step away from jumping out.

"However, that's all in the past."

"Since you have passed the test, this position is yours."

"But that doesn't mean I have to lower my standards and requirements to accommodate you if you have a poor foundation."

"You need to spend more time and effort than Zhang Chao to catch up with the pace and make sure you can keep up."

"Let me warn you upfront: if you ever fall behind and get eliminated, don't say I didn't warn you."

Qin Huai nodded repeatedly, promising him that she would work twice as hard to keep up and never fall behind.

"Okay, I'll get you two books later. After you get off work, go home and start studying."
