Chapter 73

In the first workshop, it was noisy, and the workers were all discussing Yi Zhonghai.

Xu Damao, like Sha Zhu, wandered around when he wasn't showing movies.

Seeing this scene, he hurriedly squeezed to the front.

Chen Tian teaching Yi Zhonghai a lesson—Xu Damao wouldn't miss such a good thing.

"First Uncle, you're so old, why are you still slacking off at work?"

"Chief Chen Gong is now responsible for the steel mill work; this is a big deal, and the district leaders attach great importance to it—why aren't you cooperating with the work?"

Xu Damao gloated; this was the factory workshop, and Yi Zhonghai couldn't do anything to him.

Yu Haitang stood in the crowd, her eyes fixed only on Chen Tian.

The broadcast room was next to Chen Tian's office, and Yu Haitang happened to see Chen Tian when he went out.

Yu Haitang, who had a leisurely job, insisted on following along when she heard Chen Tian was going to the workshop.

She said it was to record Chen Tian's work up close and accumulate material for her broadcast scripts.

Chen Tian had no choice but to let her follow him to the workshop.

"Chief Chen Gong, you're going too far with that."

Yi Zhonghai took a deep breath and calmed his mood.

He still resisted the urge to argue with Chen Tian.

Chen Tian was now the authority in the factory; one word from him could send him to the western suburbs to move equipment—going against Chen Tian at this time was not a wise move.

"I'm not slacking off."

"These parts are indeed complex in design and need time to complete."

"I don't believe anyone can complete this batch of parts in one day," Yi Zhonghai explained.

He felt that Chen Tian was deliberately making things difficult for him.

Yi Zhonghai felt bitter, but he had no choice.

On the first day Chen Tian returned to the courtyard house, he had a conflict with Jia Zhangshi.

Yi Zhonghai, without distinguishing right from wrong, stood on Jia Zhangshi's side, took sides, and offended Chen Tian.

If it were anyone else, having their house occupied and furniture sold, they wouldn't be able to bear it.

Not to mention Jia Zhangshi's extremely bad attitude and vicious tone—it could be said he had formed a grudge with Chen Tian.

Yi Zhonghai smiled bitterly in his heart; Chen Tian targeting him now was his own doing.

"Such simple parts, and you say they're complex—if this isn't looking for an excuse, what is?"

"Yi Zhonghai, just because you can't do it doesn't mean others can't."

"Is this your work attitude? How did you pass your level-8 fitter exam?" Chen Tian said with a mocking face.

"Haha, exactly, First Uncle, are you old and can't work anymore?"

"Chief Chen Gong has already said it, they're simple parts; I think you just want to be lazy."

Xu Damao chimed in.

Kicking someone while they were down had always been his usual method.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai get deflated, Xu Damao had to come up and stab him a few more times.

"Xu Damao, I'll tear your mouth apart."

Sha Zhu scolded.

When he was beaten up by Chen Tian, this grandson Xu Damao was watching the joke on the side.

Now, he was mocking Yi Zhonghai again.

Sha Zhu really couldn't stand Xu Damao's petty behavior.

Xu Damao was triumphant; in the factory, he wasn't afraid of Sha Zhu at all.

"Sha Zhu, if you have the ability, hit me."

"Just right, the Security Section will catch you and let you keep Jia Zhangshi company."

Sha Zhu was furious, clenched his fists, and wanted to rush up to clean up Xu Damao, but was held back tightly by Yi Zhonghai.

"Zhuzi, don't be stupid!"

"This is the factory!"

Yi Zhonghai glared at Xu Damao; this dog thing, he would clean him up sooner or later.

"Chief Chen Gong, is processing these parts really simple?"

"Master Yi is a level-8 fitter, an old worker in the factory; he says it's complex—is it really?"

Yu Haitang didn't understand workshop work, but she had been working for a few months and had heard the workers chatting.

Even a level-8 worker said it was difficult, so it must be really difficult, right?

"That's in Yi Zhonghai's eyes."

"If I were to process them, these parts wouldn't take half a day at all," Chen Tian said lightly.

Yu Haitang's gaze toward Chen Tian changed. Her eyes were filled with deep admiration.

Since Chen Tian said so, he must be able to do it.

In Yu Haitang's heart, she also felt a trace of contempt for Yi Zhonghai.

She had also heard some things about the conflict between Chen Tian and Yi Zhonghai.

"Looks like I need to find my sister one day and understand it properly."

Yu Haitang made up her mind; she must win over such a good man as Chen Tian.

……

The workers widened their eyes, all thinking they had misheard.

"Chief Chen Gong isn't joking, right?"

"Half a day, how is that possible?"

"I've looked at these parts; with my skills, I couldn't even process one in half a day."

"That's why you're a level-4 worker."

The surrounding workers heard this and discussed it heatedly.

Sha Zhu was even more disdainful, snorted coldly, and leaned toward Qin Huairu.

"Sister Qin, you tell me, if this dog Chen Tian isn't bragging, what is he doing?"
