Siheyuan: Since 51

Lin Zhiyuan glanced at Sha Zhu in annoyance, "Don't be such a jerk. Besides, outside Xizhimen, the Lao Mo that opened last year has Lao Mao, right?"

"Can that be the same?"

Sha Zhu chuckled, "I haven't even been to Lao Mo, so I can't see him!"

"Go away, the people in the kitchen don't understand, yet they still care about the old Russians."

After a scolding, Lin Zhiyuan turned to ask, "Who told you that the Russians were coming?"

"Two technicians from the engineering department were chatting while getting their lunch, and I overheard them."

Lin Zhiyuan took note of it secretly. Whether it was useful or not, it would always be a good idea to write it down.

Often, the so-called foresight is nothing more than paying more attention to some insignificant little things than others.

Return to the small courtyard.

Lin Zhihao was exercising as usual, Lin Manyu was cooking in the kitchen, and Wu Xia and Qin Huairu were chatting in the living room.

Little Shufan is missing, maybe he is playing in the east and west courtyards!

Lifting the door curtain, Lin Zhiyuan walked into the living room.

After saying hello, he gestured, "Second Aunt, let's go to the east wing to talk. I have something to do at work and I'm a little undecided."

Wu Xia agreed without hesitation, "Okay, let's go!"

The two of them came to the east wing and sat down on the sofa.

Lin Zhiyuan recounted the entire story of Li Xiao and the engineering department from beginning to end.

Wu Xia smiled slightly, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Tell me what you think first?"

“Leaning towards acceptance.”

Lin Zhiyuan pondered for a moment, secretly organized his words, and added: "If we refuse, Li Xiao will turn to Hao Zhengyi, and the steel mill will probably be in turmoil again."

Wu Xia's eyebrows drooped slightly, and then she returned to normal in an instant, "What else?"

"Also, I really want to promote industrial development."

Hearing this, Wu Xia smiled and said with satisfaction: "Only by keeping the original intention can we make wise choices. Those who simply fight are fools."

After that, he asked again: "Who is more important, Hao Zhengyi or Li Xiao?"

Lin Zhiyuan's heart moved, as if he had realized something.

"Hao Zhengyi has a certain level of workshop management. If compared with Li Xiao, he is not irreplaceable."

Wu Xia shrugged and spread her hands.

"Is this not the end? Before making any decision, determine the purpose and then weigh the pros and cons."

Lin Zhiyuan nodded, "I understand all this, but..."

Seeing Lin Zhiyuan's hesitation, Wu Xia smiled and took over the conversation, "Are you worried about being used?"

"Yes, Li Xiao is really devoted to his skills, and I can support him unconditionally. What if he has ulterior motives? Wouldn't I have to fight Hao Zhengyi first and then Li Xiao?"

"Why do we have to fight?"

As soon as Wu Xia finished speaking, Lin Zhiyuan was stunned. He wanted to speak, but didn't know how to respond.

Wu Xia shook her head and explained patiently.

"You have fallen into a misunderstanding. People fight for their own interests, and it is understandable to use any means. If the situation is within the expected range and it is under control, it is normal for everyone to be happy and happy."

Lin Zhiyuan pondered carefully, as if he had grasped something, yet he was still a little uncertain.

Wu Xia stood up and patted Lin Zhiyuan on the shoulder.

"You can only experience it yourself. No matter how much I say, it may not be of any use."

As he spoke, he remembered the arrangements before crossing the river and added another sentence.

“Knowing how to fight is the first step, knowing how to make peace is the second step, and being able to fight and make peace with ease is the third step.”

For several days, Lin Zhiyuan did not make a decision.

Even though Li Xiao came to his house many times, he kept postponing it on the grounds that he had to push forward the assessment first.

February 2th, the 4rd day of the twelfth lunar month.

After half a month, the skills assessment of all employees in the factory has finally come to an end.

In the courtyard.

Sha Zhu was promoted to the seventh level cook, and his salary increased to 41.5 yuan. With the squad leader's subsidy, he received 43.5 yuan.

He Daqing, Liu Haizhong, and Yi Zhonghai remain the same, and their levels have not been upgraded.

Wang Aimin, level 31 cook, yuan.

Qin Huaiwu, second-level blacksmith, and Yi Mingxin, second-level fitter, both have a salary of 38.6 yuan.

Wang Quanyou and Qin Mancang were successfully converted to regular employees as first-level infrastructure workers with a salary of 35.19 yuan.

Qin Huaiyong’s car repair skills are not good and he did not pass the assessment, so he is still an intern with a salary of 18 yuan.

Not to mention, there are only four levels of truck drivers. Once they are officially certified, the fourth level is 48 yuan, and the follow-up subsidy is also an income...

As for Wang Aijun, under the careful teaching of Xu Fugui, he became an eighth-level projectionist with a monthly salary of 35.5 yuan.

Xu Fugui was also promoted to a level seven projectionist with a salary of 41.5 yuan.

Unexpectedly, Jia Dongxu jumped two levels to become a third-level fitter, with a salary of 45.2 yuan.

It's really a little cow that has the big head, so awesome!

Jia Dongxu's face was full of joy, yet he was still a little reserved.

Jia Zhang could no longer sit still and became completely arrogant, going wherever there were many people.

After walking around the yard, I finally found the Yan family's living room. Several aunts were chatting there, so I immediately joined in.

Aunt Yi smiled and said, "Mr. Yan, go back and tell your old Mr. Yan to pay more attention to my little treasure. He has regressed a lot in this exam."

Aunt Liu also echoed, "My Guangfu's grades are so good. It's a good thing that Old Liu doesn't do anything now, otherwise..."

Aunt Yan said with a smile: "Why, Guangfu did so badly in the exam?"

Jia Zhang finally seized the opportunity and immediately interrupted.

"Assessment? My Dongxu has only passed the third level. At this rate, he will catch up with Lao Liu in less than three years, and surpass Lao Yi in six years. As the old saying goes, the better you are, the better."

Aunt Liu frowned slightly, "Ms. Jia Zhang, we are talking about the child, why are you butting in?"

Aunt Yi was also a little unhappy, "Didn't my old Yi teach you carefully?"

When Jia Zhang heard this, she immediately became unhappy.

"Liu family, how can you say that? Isn't Dongxu the same generation as your three boys? So he is also a child. Is there anything wrong with taking grades at school and taking work grades at work?"

After saying that, he turned and looked at Aunt Yi.

"And you, you dare to bring it up? That's because my Dongxu worked hard, and your old Yi taught him carefully, so why didn't Yi Mingxin take the third level exam?"

Then he glanced at Aunt Yan again.

"And you, from the Yan family, your old Yan is very knowledgeable and knows how to remind people. I can't remember what Qingchu is, so don't you know how to remind people?"

My goodness, Jia Zhang started to rant and started to be laughed at by everyone, and one could hear a pin drop in the house.

After a long while, Aunt Yi stood up and said, "I'll go back and cook."

Then, Aunt Liu snorted coldly, "I'm back too."

In the side room at the backyard, Aunt Sun and Aunt Qian nodded to Aunt Yan without saying anything and followed her.

In the blink of an eye, except for a few children, only Jia Zhang and Aunt Yan were left.

Before Jia Zhang could speak, Aunt Yan also stood up and waved her hand.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, let's talk later. I also have to go cook."

With her triangular eyes narrowed and her lips curled, Jia Zhang left angrily.

Small cross yard.

The Lin family was not affected and were preparing to eat.

Sun Zhenshan rode his bicycle to the gate of the courtyard, jumped off the bike, picked up the bike beam, and rushed in.

After turning the Moon Gate, he shouted.

"Zhiyuan, pack up and come home with me."
