Courtyard House: Starting as an engineer, crushing a yard full of poultry

Moreover, this time, He Yuzhu also fully felt the malice from the factory manager, realizing that he was just a cook.

You absolutely cannot give up a secure job like working in a steel rolling mill.

Even if the leader criticizes him, he can only nod in agreement and greet him with a smile.

Soon, He Yuzhu brought up a table full of food, four dishes and a soup.

Li Huaide waved his hand, and He Yuzhu, being quite sensible, left the steel rolling mill on his own.

The four of them ate and chatted happily in the conference room.

Apart from the forced smile on Director Yang's face, everyone else was genuinely happy.

Director Bao, in particular, achieved a remarkable leap in performance with just one collaboration with a textile factory.

This was a scene that Director Bao had never witnessed in over a decade.

If we can cooperate with one or two factories next year, based on the achievements I have made,

Improving further is a piece of cake.

They also thought highly of Li Xiangdong. The four of them chatted at the table for a long time, and after they had eaten and drunk their fill, they were satisfied.

Around 10 p.m., the four said goodbye and returned home.

Chapter 175 Yu Wen Goes to School

As soon as Li Xiangdong returned home, he heard a burst of crying and shouting from Yu Dajiang's house.

Before he could even go home, he went to check on Yu Dajiang's family to see what was going on, since Yu was his father-in-law after all.

The crying and shouting sounded like Yu Wen was saying something.

Upon entering the room, I saw Yu Wen sitting in a chair, sobbing uncontrollably, as if she had suffered some injustice.

"What happened? What's wrong with Yu Wen? Did someone at the steel mill bully you?"

Li Xiangdong asked in confusion.

"This is his own business, it's nothing. This kid can't work at the steel mill anymore, and he's throwing a tantrum now."

Upon seeing Li Xiangdong enter, Yu Dajiang quickly explained.

"Xiaowen, you're new to this kind of work at the steel rolling mill, it's normal. If you feel you're not up to the task, and you want to continue, I'll write you a resignation letter, settle your wages for this period, and go back to your studies."

Li Xiangdong also understood why the factory workers were so motivated during this period.

Each person who can do some work with parts will do some work with parts.

They managed to shorten the ten-day construction period to eight days.

For apprentices like them to complete eight days of work under such high pressure is already quite remarkable.

Seeing Yu Wen crying now, I understand; he probably couldn't stand the working environment at the steel rolling mill anymore.

Although I earned more money, it was really tiring.

In addition, these apprentices lack basic skills, so if the parts they handle are not up to standard, their masters have to teach them again.

Some criticism is inevitable, which is normal.

"Brother-in-law, I really can't do this job anymore. I want to go back to school. I just can't stand working in the steel mill."

Yu Wen said, crying.

"Now you know how difficult it is to work outside, right? Since you've made up your mind, go back and study hard. Your family will support you until you finish your studies."

"If you throw a tantrum like this again and refuse to study, then think about whether studying is harder or working in a steel mill is harder."

Li Xiangdong patted Yu Wen's head and said gently.

"Alright, stop crying. From now on, you can continue living with your parents and just focus on your studies. By the way, what about Yu Bin and Yu Wu? They're the same age. Do they want to work here or not?"

Li Xiangdong asked Yu Dajiang.

"I really misjudged Yu Bin, that little rascal. His mentor said that this kid is hardworking and quick to learn. In less than a day, he mastered the manufacturing of a certain part."

"Moreover, the manufacturing is quite good. Judging from the quality, it should be at least level two or three. Yu Wu didn't cry and is still persevering."

Yu Dajiang was somewhat gratified about his children; he hadn't expected that one of them would actually be able to endure the hardships of working in a steel rolling mill.

Even if you don't want to go to school, you can still be praised by your master, just like Li Xiangdong said.

Learn a skill at the steel rolling mill early on, so you can support your family as soon as possible.

It's not that bad; I won't have a stable job in the future.

"Alright, since the other two can persevere, let them continue. The factory will be even busier next year. Besides, there's another assessment at the end of this year. We'll tell them then to raise their assessment standards a bit."

"If they can't get rid of their intern status by the end of the year, then let them go to a more tiring workshop and learn more difficult work."

Li Xiangdong also made arrangements for the future of his other two younger brothers.

Since they have talent, we should see just how far their talent can go.

The year-end performance review was a rigid standard that I had set beforehand.

This is also to better motivate workers, help them master better skills, and enable them to make greater contributions to the factory.

This is also to weed out those who try to take advantage of the situation.

These people are paid high salaries, but they do low-level jobs that don't match their high salaries. How can the factory's profits increase?

"This really troubles you. You don't need to worry about the kid going back to school. I'll talk to the school and see if they can let him go back and study properly."

Yu Dajiang said with satisfaction.

Yu Dajiang was genuinely happy, never expecting that such a difficult problem would be solved so easily by Li Xiangdong.

There are better options for the three children as well.

Since Yu Wen wants to go back to school, then we will support him to study; our family has the means to do so.

Although studying is not the only way out, the hardship of studying is much less compared to other paths.

·· ·····Requesting flowers·· ·

As for Yu Bin and Yu Wu, we'll have to wait until the year-end assessment to see if they really have the talent.

If they really do have such opportunities, working in a steel rolling mill would be a pretty good option.

The job at the steel rolling mill was stable, and wages were paid on time.

Yu Dajiang also participated in this project.

The ten-yuan bonus was given out just like that.

It's fair to say that there was no better place to work in Beijing than a steel rolling mill.

"Xiaowen, stop crying. Go to your studies. If you can't finish, think about what you've been doing at the steel mill these past few days. You'll be able to grit your teeth and keep going. I believe you have the talent for studying. Go to bed early. You'll be going to school tomorrow."

.... ... .......

Yu Li said gently.

Yu Wen nodded, went back to his small bedroom, and obediently fell asleep.

"Okay, if Mom and Dad have nothing else to do, I'll head back. Things shouldn't be too busy at the factory for a while, except for the important year-end performance review."

Li Xiangdong said with a smile.

"This year-end performance review is really good. Who knows, I might be able to move up another level. The salary difference between each level is indeed quite large."

Yu Dajiang smiled and said.

Li Xiangdong nodded, left Yu Dajiang's house, and returned to his own home.

I've finished all the things I've been busy with recently.

I've basically finished all the things I needed to do before the new year, and now I'm just waiting for the year-end assessment to be completed.

I'm waiting for the Spring Festival so I can go and propose marriage to Yu Li.

Half of life would be complete then, and the other half would naturally be to take possession of the other properties in the courtyard house.

With such a large courtyard house, not to mention anything else, we'll never have to worry about food and clothing again.

This is one of the main reasons why he was unwilling to leave when someone from above offered him a promotion.

It's not impossible to move up the social ladder, but you'd have to buy the entire courtyard house yourself.

Only consider these things after you've secured your most basic security.

It's probably still a bit early for that; we'll talk about the rest later.

I'm a little tipsy now, so I should go back and get some sleep.

Chapter 176 Qin Huairu's Panic

As time passed, December arrived in the blink of an eye, marking the end of this year.

According to the factory's regulations, all employees must undergo a technical assessment at the end of the year.

Those who pass the assessment and show improvement in their skills can be promoted one or two levels.

Those who fail the assessment, whose skills have not improved and may even have regressed, will be demoted.

Interns who fail the assessment will be dismissed.
