Chapter 4114

Tang Xiangming nodded happily and said: "That would be great."

Zhang Shouye said: "How about you all just come to my house to eat? My house is right at the school, it's close."

Master Zhao laughed and said: "That's fine, but I have to tell you, Principal Zhang, we are all doing manual labor and we can eat. Don't let us eat you into poverty!"

Zhang Shouye laughed and said: "It's fine, you won't eat me into poverty; it's just a meal."

Su Xinghui said to Tang Xiangming: "Little Tang, your thinking has changed quite quickly. I remember you saying at the beginning that Master Zhao's skills were useless and that now it's the era of CNC machine tools."

Tang Xiangming said with some embarrassment: "Wasn't that because I was ignorant at the beginning?"

Su Xinghui said: "Then you aren't going home for the summer or winter breaks; do your parents agree?"

Tang Xiangming said: "They agree. When they heard I was learning technical skills from Master Zhao, they couldn't have been more supportive!"

Su Xinghui suddenly became interested and said: "Oh, really? Then tell me about your family situation."

Tang Xiangming said: "Mayor Su, my family is from Wujin County. My dad was a worker at the Wujin County Xiangyang Machinery Factory, and my mom was a worker at the Wujin County Cotton Textile Factory. But that's all in the past. A few years ago, they were both laid off, and now they are doing small business. But my dad knows Master Zhao's name. Last time I said I wasn't going home for the summer break and was learning technical skills from Master Zhao, my dad was so happy."

Su Xinghui nodded. So that was it. Since Tang Xiangming's father was a worker at the Wujin County Xiangyang Machinery Factory, he had of course heard of Master Zhao's name. This was a big shot in their industry. Since his son had the opportunity to learn technical skills from Master Zhao, how could he not support it?

Su Xinghui said: "That's no wonder then."

Tang Xiangming said: "I was actually very resistant to being a worker before because my parents were both workers but were laid off. I felt that being a worker had no future. But now the country is paying more and more attention to workers, and you said you could help me find a job with a monthly salary of ten thousand, so I am willing to learn technical skills from Master Zhao."

Su Xinghui was also very moved. Yes, that wasn't Tang Xiangming's fault before. Workers had indeed received unfair treatment before, especially their layoffs, which were a huge blow to many people. As the child of laid-off workers, Tang Xiangming naturally hated the profession of being a worker.
