Chapter 174 Jia Dongxu's attack on Yi Zhonghai
"Old Li, do you think there is still a chance for us at our ages?" An old worker with a white beard scratched his head and asked nervously.
The man called Lao Li was a skinny guy smoking a pipe. He smiled faintly when he heard the words: "What are you afraid of? We are as smart as monkeys, so how can we not succeed? Besides, the factory wants people, not monkeys. What's wrong with being older?"
"Haha, that's right!" The old worker laughed and patted Lao Li on the shoulder. "But we have to practice our skills and not be outdone by those young people!"
Hearing this, Old Li just curled his lips in disdain: "What kind of skills are you practicing? I think that Xiao Li is just a boaster. What new machine? I guarantee that we old hands can't use it easily!"
"Shh, keep your voice down!" The old worker quickly reminded him in a low voice, looking around with some concern, "Don't say bad things about Li Yang, it will have a bad impact if it gets out."
Old Li, however, didn't care at all. He threw his sleeves and said, "I'm telling the truth. No matter how powerful we are, can we be more powerful than the Russian bear? If we hadn't learned from them, how could we have the skills to get the job?"
While the two old workers were chatting with each other, a group of people gathered at the other end of the workshop.
I saw several young men gathered in a circle, talking happily.
The leader was a smart-looking young man with a confident smile on his face.
"Let me tell you, we young people have an advantage this time. I heard that Li Yang likes to recruit young people. As long as we are willing to study hard, we will definitely be selected!"
"Xiao Zhao, just keep bragging! Didn't you lose to your master in the last technical competition?" the fat boy next to him joked.
The young man called Xiao Zhao glared at him unconvincedly and said, "I was careless! Besides, the masters are all veterans. How can we grow without suffering some losses?"
"That's right, it was just luck last time!" Another person also chimed in, "Xiao Zhao, this time you have to stand up for us young people and stop letting those old guys laugh at you!"
The young man smiled even brighter when he heard this, and waved his fist: "Don't worry, brothers, I will definitely be selected this time! Then we will go to the technical center together and let those old-fashioned people see us!"
"Well said!" Everyone applauded when they heard it.
While there was jubilation in the workshop, a different scene was taking place in the toilet.
Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu, the master and disciple, were sitting in their seats with different expressions.
Yi Zhonghai's face was full of excitement, and he stared ahead with shining eyes, as if he saw hope of getting out of this smelly toilet.
In comparison, Jia Dongxu seemed a little uneasy.
He lowered his head, rubbing his hands constantly, his mind in a mess.
"Master, shall we sign up for the selection this time?" Jia Dongxu asked cautiously.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yi Zhonghai slapped his thigh excitedly and nodded excitedly: "Of course! This is a great opportunity for us to turn things around! Dongxu, then we can say goodbye to this stinky toilet and become people of the technology center!"
Hearing his master say this, Jia Dongxu felt even more uneasy.
Although he also wanted to escape from this disgusting environment, he knew in his heart that with his limited skills, he had no chance of winning the selection.
Thinking of this, Jia Dongxu couldn't help but look at Yi Zhonghai with a bitter face, begging, and whispered: "Master, if you are selected, please don't forget me! You must find a way to get me in when the time comes!"
Upon hearing this, a hint of impatience flashed across Yi Zhonghai's eyes, but he quickly concealed it and replaced it with a kind smile.
He patted Jia Dongxu's shoulder soothingly and said earnestly: "Don't worry! Dongxu, how could I, your master, abandon you? We are master and disciple, and you will definitely have a share in the good life in the future!"
After hearing what his master said, Jia Dongxu finally felt relieved.
He looked at Yi Zhonghai gratefully and nodded repeatedly.
In fact, Yi Zhonghai had another plan in mind.
He knew clearly that Jia Dongxu's technical level was not up to the mark, and even if he wanted to help him, he would probably be unable to do so.
Moreover, the factory was in need of people right now, so how could he have the time to worry about the future of an apprentice?
Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai's disappointment with Jia Dongxu became even stronger.
He secretly decided that after being selected, he would find an opportunity to draw a line between himself and this encumbrance so as not to affect his future.
Thinking of this, a hint of ruthlessness flashed across Yi Zhonghai's eyes, but he quickly returned to his kind expression.
He comforted Jia Dongxu a few more words and urged him to clean up quickly so as not to delay the selection time.
Jia Dongxu responded hurriedly, picked up the broom and mop and started working.
Yi Zhonghai leaned leisurely against the wall, squinting his eyes and imagining the wonderful life after leaving the toilet.
While Yi Zhonghai was immersed in beautiful fantasies, Jia Dongxu was gritting his teeth in hatred.
He naturally saw through the insincere nature of his master's words of comfort, and even more so saw through his desire to abandon him.
When Jia Dongxu thought about all the years of dedication to his master, only to be treated like this in the end, he was filled with resentment and unwillingness.
"Bah! What master-disciple relationship? It's nothing but false! Master just wants to use me, and when he becomes successful, he will kick me away!" Jia Dongxu thought angrily in his heart, dragging the dirt on the ground with his hands.
Gradually, the resentment in Jia Dongxu's heart accumulated more and more, and finally turned into a vicious thought - if he couldn't make a breakthrough, his master wouldn't be able to make a breakthrough on his own!
Thinking of this, a hint of viciousness flashed in Jia Dongxu's eyes, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He pretended to move to Yi Zhonghai casually, and suddenly pushed the mop in his hand towards Yi Zhonghai's feet.
Yi Zhonghai was caught off guard, his feet slipped, and he fell heavily to the ground with a dull "bang".
While Yi Zhonghai was falling, Jia Dongxu pretended to slip and sat down.
He aimed precisely at Yi Zhonghai's right hand and sat down hard on it.
Yi Zhonghai's right hand was stuck at the angle of the steps. Under the double pressure of Jia Dongxu's weight and the steps, a crisp "click" sound was heard.
Yi Zhonghai let out a scream, his face turned pale instantly and sweat covered his forehead.
Jia Dongxu was overjoyed, but on the surface he pretended to be panicked and apologized repeatedly: "Master, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to do that. I fell down too!"
Yi Zhonghai had no time to listen to his explanation. He only felt a heart-wrenching pain in his right hand, as if it was going to tear him apart.
He stretched out his left hand tremblingly, trying to pull his right hand out from the gap in the steps, but found that his right hand was limp and he had no strength at all.
