Chapter 147 Sudden Assessment
Midnight, steel rolling mill, director’s office.
The room was filled with smoke and the dim lights gave off a halo.
Factory Director Yang Youning looked at the documents in hand, while secretary Liu Huaimin was smoking a cigarette, his eyes bloodshot from staying up late.
“Old Liu, is this matter so urgent?”
Yang Youning closed the document. On the 16-karat cover, there was a thick red text at the top.
After reading it, he didn’t even ask whether it was true or false. If he could post it, it must be true.
Now, what he wants to determine is time.
Liu Huaimin put out the cigarette butt, took a deep breath, and nodded slowly.
“The situation is very serious now.”
"If the old factory manager had not greeted me in advance this time, I wouldn't have even known about it!"
Liu Huaimin also lamented, who would have thought that the domestic situation would turn out like this?
After only a few good years, we are facing this kind of disaster, and I can't help but feel sorry for the country and the nation's many disasters.
Yang Youning was silent for a moment, "Actually, this trend started last year."
"In order to support steel construction in rural areas, many villagers even donated cooking pots and plows. His head was melted.”
“If there are no people to eat, how can we cultivate the land?”
“People from the countryside are running to the cities, who will cultivate the land?”
“I thought it was just these four or nine cities. It’s like this all around. I didn’t expect it to be like this all over the country.”
The two sighed at the same time, and then there was a long silence.
It wasn't until Liu Huaimin picked up the cigarette on the table again that Yang Youning reacted.
He knew that Liu Huaimin usually did not smoke. He would smoke one only when he was in trouble to relieve his nerves.
Tonight, the iron box on the table is filled with cigarette butts.
"Tomorrow!"
"Since the document requires an announcement the day after tomorrow, it is not too much to do it for the last time tomorrow."
"However. The assessment standards cannot be lowered, otherwise it will not be justified."
Liu Huaimin's voice came out from the smoke, and Yang Youning nodded.
“Yeah!”
“It’s a mule or a horse that comes out to run around. Opportunities are reserved for those who are willing.”
“Let these people understand in their hearts that we will give them If you don’t seize the opportunity, it’s your own fault.”
Liu Huaimin stood up and prepared to find someone to prepare.
In the courtyard, Yang Xiaotao closed the dictionary. The words he memorized recently were all ABCD. Fortunately, he had experience in his previous life, and the words in this world did not have so many annotations or tones.
I have almost memorized the memorization these days. Yang Xiaotao estimates that he will be able to memorize all the words in a day or two.
Of course, memorizing the dictionary also has credits.
When I first read the dictionary, I gave it a score of 75. If I had memorized it all, it should be higher than the accuracy. I would definitely have a lot of credits by then!
After getting up and putting on his coat, Yang Xiaotao walked around the yard and looked at the cornfield. Xiaowei emerged from a corn stalk and then hid under the corn leaves.
Wang Caizhi froze his ears, obviously hearing Yang Xiaotao's movements.
“Watch carefully!”
Woohou
Wangcai let out a light cry, and Yang Xiaotao turned around and walked back.
Silly Zhu fell upside down on the bed, without taking off his clothes. He had a wine bottle rolling in his hand and smelled of alcohol.
"Sister Xiao Qin, hey!"
"Hey!"
At Xu Damao's house, Lou Xiao'e tightened the quilt on the bed and reached out to touch the other side. It was empty. I just remembered that Xu Damao went to the countryside to play a movie today.
“Bastard Xu Damao!”
He cursed and continued to sleep.
"Sneeze!"
A low sneeze came from the haystack. Xu Damao hurriedly looked around, and when he found no one there, he tightened his clothes and held his waist and walked out.
After a while, a woman wearing a cotton-padded jacket came out with two dollars in her hand.
“If you do too many bad things, someone will definitely scold you again!”
The woman smiled and joked, not paying attention to Xu Damao's eyes staring at her chest.
“Bah!”
“Xu Damao and the others dare to scold me? They are just talking behind my back!”
“I believe you!”
"Hey, let's go! I'll see you next time!"
"Let's go, I have to go back too. The old lady will find out if it's too late!"
"Let's go, let's go, right, you know, don't cause any trouble!"
" Come on, I got pregnant this morning!”
After that, the two of them went their separate ways.
In the Jia family, Jia Dongxu was lying on the bed, clenching the headboard of the bed with his hands, and his breathing became more and more rapid.
Suddenly, his body contracted and a long cry sounded. His whole body relaxed and he collapsed on the bed, feeling drowsy.
Looking down, Qin Huairu stood up, spat out saliva, and looked at Jia Dongxu, who was like a corpse, but there was no movement on the other side.
“Useless thing!”
I cursed in my heart, then looked at Banggeng next to me, and slept soundly listening to Jia Zhang’s snoring.
It’s just that this voice is like a curse to her, and she can’t sleep with her burning body.
The next day, Yang Xiaotao got up to cook. This is how a person's life is, he has to do everything by himself, and there is no one who knows whether it is hot or cold.
Oh, it’s hard to be single.
With a sigh, Wangcai ran into the house at the door, his head rubbing against his trouser legs.
"Damn! Someone even cooks for the dog!"
After breakfast, Yang Xiaotao glanced at the corn in the yard. It's still cold, so it can't be too outrageous.
Carrying his bag and going out to work, when passing by the front yard, Yi Zhonghai was walking in front, but he didn't see the guardians on the left and right who usually followed behind him.
Silly Zhu got up from the bed unsteadily. Last night he was making supper in the factory. He came back late and drank some wine. His head is still not clear yet.
Fortunately, there isn’t much going on in the kitchen. I just need to go there before cooking at noon.
Looking at the sky, Silly Zhu threw his head back and continued to sleep.
Jia Dongxu reached out and beat his back, rubbed his eyes and walked under the bed.
After taking just two steps, I felt a stabbing pain in my waist, and I gasped with a grimace. Mrs. Jia Zhang was not surprised. When she saw him getting up, she quickly handed over the prepared porridge. Qin Huairu was nibbling on the steamed buns and waiting for Banggong to eat.
"Oh, my eldest grandson hasn't eaten an egg for many days!"
"Huairu, go buy two today to supplement your eldest grandson's eggs."
Jia Zhang looked at Banggan’s little face, her eyes full of kindness.
"Mom, I have no money!"
Qin Huairu whispered, and Mrs. Jia Zhang looked gloomy.
After hearing this, Jia Dongxu put down the bowl, dug into his pocket and took out two cents.
“That’s all I have, it’s the end of the month, and I’ll get paid in two days!”
“Buy more meat and make up for it then!”
With no money on hand, Jia Dongxu felt ashamed, so he got up and walked out after a few sips.
Qin Huairu curled her lips behind her, saying that it would be good to have enough to eat every day with just that little salary.
When Yang Xiaotao came to the workshop, he saw Wang Fa and Che Wenwei talking with complicated expressions.
“Xiao Tao, come here!”
“What’s wrong, Brother Wang!”
"You are no longer young!"
As soon as Brother Wang opened his mouth, Yang Xiaotao knew what was going to happen next.
No, just say it casually, "Your aunt has a niece who works in a thermos bottle factory..."
"Brother Wang, stop it, stop it!"
Not yet. After Wang Fa finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao immediately spoke up. It wasn't that he didn't want to find a woman, it was just that he was a little afraid of blind dates. For such unreliable things, he would rather find one by himself.
It doesn't matter if he can't find it, he's still young anyway.
Besides, in ten or twenty years, with his ability, he will still find someone eighteen years old.
"You bastard..."
Wang Fa was a little angry, angry that this guy was not serious, "Look at the men around you who are not looking for a wife. I am as old as you, and there are all big girls. Yes!”
“That’s right, Xiaotao, please hurry up and find one.”
"The workers in the thermos bottle factory also eat public food, so I can match you."
Che Wenwei also advised on the side. At this time, Li Nan, Xing Jiaqi and others also came, and they were all talking about what happened. He said eloquently that they were not as good as Yang Xiaotao, but they started dating under the arrangement of their family elders. Li Nan got started quickly. He had already met the girl's parents and the wedding was expected to be held this year.
A few people chattered around Yang Xiaotao, which became a warm-up activity before going to work.
Normally, few people had much to say about Yang Xiaotao's abilities, so they only made fun of him for finding a wife.
“Okay, okay, it’s time, it’s time.”
Yang Xiaotao emerged from the crowd. When did a group of old men become worse than eighth-grandmothers?
At this moment, the loudspeaker in the workshop suddenly sounded.
Everyone stopped quickly and listened to the sound.
"Good morning, fellow workers."
"After the leadership of the steel rolling mill decided, today we will conduct a grading assessment for all employees of the steel rolling mill. Anyone who needs to participate in the assessment should go to the director's office immediately Registration. Deadline 9 a.m. ”
"Comrades, please pay attention, after..."
The loudspeaker rang three times, and there was silence in the workshop.
"Why is the assessment suddenly happening? I wasn't even prepared!"
A crying voice shouted, obviously not confident about this assessment.
“Yes, it’s so sudden!”
"Take the exam, take the exam, you can't pass it anyway, it's a shame to take part!"
When the topic was opened, the workshop felt like it was exploding.
"Brother Wang, do I want to participate?"
Li Nan is a little undecided. He is now at Level 2 and wants to try again this year. After all, he is following Yang Xiaotao. A lot.
Just thinking about the difficulty of each assessment, Li Nan felt a little frightened.
"Just give it a try, there's no shame if you can't pass."
Wang Fa saw it clearly. Although he didn't understand why it was so sudden, he had to seize the opportunity to take the exam. He couldn't pass it by luck.
"Xiao Tao, hurry up and sign up."
"And you guys, all sign up!"
Wang Fa said, and said to Li Wei The man shouted, but as for him, he lost his mind.
He had gone through the upgrade from level five to level six several times, and he no longer had the heart to do it.
Yang Xiaotao nodded, no matter what else, as long as it is passed, it will be money.
No reason not to participate.
As for being in the limelight, promotion is so fast that there is no need to consider it at all.
This is the era of earning a living based on ability. If you have ability, you don’t need to hide it.
What's more, you haven't had much limelight in the factory during this period?
Just past level four, it also made those jealous guys calm down.
“The director is here!”
Someone shouted and saw Wang Guodong walking over with two assessors.
At this moment, Wang Guodong was also full of confusion. As soon as he came to work today, he was called to a meeting by the factory director, and he took over three minutes later.
Factory-wide assessment.
Suddenly, it was so sudden that I felt a pang of sweat for the employees in the third workshop.
However, now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to bite the bullet.
What’s more, several workshops are like this, no one is better than the other.
“Those who want to be assessed stand at their workstations, and those who don’t want to participate go aside.”
Wang Guodong waved his hand, and soon the people in the workshop made their choice.
At a glance, at least one third is left.
Most of them are junior workers, but there are many more than before.
Wang Guodong is satisfied, at least this enterprising spirit exceeds that of other workshops.
Of course, it also shows that these guys are confident, otherwise they would not dare to stand up and be embarrassed.
He glanced at Yang Xiaotao's location and nodded in his mind.
He still has confidence in Yang Xiaotao's ability.
