Chapter 839 Give Yi Zhonghai one last chance
Gu Nan looked at Yi Zhonghai who had just walked into the site, with a look of seeming concern on his face, and said, "Master Yi, I'm giving you this opportunity only because of your age and the fact that you have worked in the factory for so many years. You must cherish it, okay?" Gu Nan was thinking in his heart that he must call more people to see Yi Zhonghai embarrass himself, to see if he still has the face to continue working in the steel rolling mill.
Yi Zhonghai knew clearly in his mind that this opportunity was specially given to him by Deputy Director Li, but facing Gu Nan, he couldn't say much. He could only force a smile, nodded slightly, and said respectfully: "Deputy Director Gu, don't worry, I will do my best and will never let you down." At this moment, he appeared calm on the surface, but he was as nervous as a rabbit in his heart. After all, this assessment was crucial to him.
Gu Nan nodded slightly, scanning the workshop. He then arranged for a few workshop directors to remain to oversee the assessments. He then stepped aside, picked up the list of employees' achievements, and examined it carefully. After all, the winner of the bicycle award would be announced tomorrow. This was a major event that the entire factory was watching, and no carelessness was allowed.
Gu Nan's eyes quickly moved across the list, quickly locking onto two names. One was Zhang Ying, a new apprentice. Although new to the factory, he had performed exceptionally well in this assessment, demonstrating immense talent and potential. The other was a veteran, previously a Level 5 machinist, who had successfully advanced to Level 7 during this assessment. The higher the level of machinist, the more difficult it was to advance. Such progress in this assessment was truly remarkable and deserved praise.
Gu Nan's actions had a deeper meaning. Zhang Ying was chosen because he was young and energetic, representing the new force in the factory. By rewarding him, he could inspire more young apprentices to study hard and strive for progress. And by commending the promoted master, he was also meant to let the veteran employees who had been working for a while know that as long as they worked diligently and made contributions to the factory, the steel mill would never forget their efforts and would reward them accordingly.
Just as Gu Nan was pondering how to announce this good news to the entire factory tomorrow, Yi Zhonghai's test results came out. Seeing that Yi Zhonghai was only a Level 3 fitter, Yi Zhonghai was completely stunned, his mind going blank. He couldn't understand why he only scored a Level 3 when he clearly had the skills of an Level 8 fitter. What on earth was going on? His eyes were filled with confusion, shock, and resentment.
Yi Zhonghai was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses. He quickly looked at Gu Nan, a flattering smile on his face, and said in a pleading tone, "Deputy Director Gu, look at this matter...is there any misunderstanding? Can you help me take another look? Is this result not accurate?"
However, Gu Nan had no intention of paying any attention to Yi Zhonghai this time. In Gu Nan's view, all of this was caused by Yi Zhonghai's own actions, and he had nothing to do with it. Gu Nan was well aware of Yi Zhonghai's little tricks in the factory over the years, and this assessment was just to expose his true level.
Gu Nan glanced at Yi Zhonghai coldly, then turned his gaze to several workshop directors beside him, and said seriously: "We still have some time in the afternoon, so let's hold a factory-wide meeting. At that time, I will announce at the meeting who will be awarded the bicycle. This meeting is not only to commend outstanding employees, but also to let the entire factory understand that our steel rolling mill encourages everyone to be proactive and make more money if they work harder. As long as you work hard, you will reap rewards." Several workshop directors nodded in agreement and immediately set about arranging the relevant matters of the meeting.
After receiving the order, several workshop directors quickly went down to arrange the work. Yi Zhonghai was left alone in the vast facility, standing there in a daze, his face filled with disbelief and confusion. He couldn't understand why, after years of immersing himself in locksmithing techniques, he was only rated a third-level locksmith. This result weighed on him like a heavy stone, making him breathless.
Yi Zhonghai was visibly upset and had considered talking to Deputy Director Li, hoping to gain some support or help. But then he realized that Deputy Director Li had a bad temper and, if he knew how poorly his evaluation had turned out, he'd probably berate him mercilessly. Yi Zhonghai shuddered at the thought, swallowing the words that were about to come out of his mouth. Ultimately, he decided to keep quiet, silently burying his frustration deep within himself.
In the afternoon, sunlight filtered through the dappled leaves, illuminating the open space of the steel mill. Gu Nan watched as the workers gradually arrived and stood in neat rows, a dense, black formation. He cleared his throat and announced in a resonant voice, "All right, comrades, today we will hold a factory-wide meeting." He glanced around, his eyes revealing a sense of authority and confidence.
Gu Nan smiled amiably, and continued, "First, we must commend those who have made significant progress in this skills assessment. With their hard work and dedication, they have set an example for everyone." He then began reading off the names of those who had made progress from the list in his hand. With each name, the crowd erupted in applause, and those whose names were read beamed with pride and joy. After all, this meant their salaries would increase, and their lives would improve.
Gu Nan nodded with satisfaction and continued, "The winners of this bicycle ticket are Zhang Ying, a third-level fitter, and Chen Zhan, a seventh-level fitter. Please invite them to the stage to receive their awards." As soon as he finished speaking, cheers and applause erupted from the audience. Zhang Ying and Chen Zhan excitedly emerged from the crowd and walked briskly onto the stage. Their faces were filled with excitement, their eyes sparkling.
Gu Nan first gestured for the two to give their acceptance speeches. Zhang Ying nervously took the microphone and stammered, "I...I'm very grateful to the factory for giving me this opportunity, and to the leadership for their training. I will definitely work even harder in the future and live up to everyone's expectations."
Chen Zhan appeared calmer. He said calmly, "I would like to thank my colleagues for their help in winning this award. I will continue to improve myself and contribute more to the development of the steel mill."
