Chapter 259 Beijing No. 1 Machinery Factory
Xu Sui is a college student. She is currently in her internship. According to the technician level classification, she is currently a level 14 technician and can earn 48.5 yuan per month.
If I get promoted to level 13 later, the technician's salary will be 55 yuan per month.
His current internship salary is much higher than what he earned as a purchasing agent at the grain station in his hometown, and it's almost comparable to what a truck driver in a small county town earns.
In this era, the working class was the most sought-after, and there were differences in treatment between skilled and unskilled workers.
Not to mention, this is just the salary before I officially started working. As I work in this industry for more years and advance in rank, my salary will increase.
Xu Sui went to the security department of the First Machinery Factory in Beijing and gave her letter of introduction and recommendation to the security guard.
"Hello, sir. I'm Xu Sui, an intern at the Beijing No. 1 Machinery Factory, which I'm from Peking University."
The old man took the two items and saw that she really was an intern from Peking University. He was a little surprised to see the fair-skinned and pretty young girl in front of him and couldn't help but take a few more glances.
"That girl is really pretty. Does she have a boyfriend?"
"If you don't have a partner, I can introduce you to someone. It's someone from our factory, a married couple who work in the same factory. The longer they work there, the greater the chance they'll be able to get a house."
This young girl is beautiful and outstanding, and she is a female college student at Peking University.
Their machinery factory is still in high demand.
Xu Sui smiled politely, "Sir, I'm sorry, I already have a boyfriend."
She is now able to answer these questions fluently.
After all, there were quite a few guys in college who wanted to date her, and even though she told others that she already had a boyfriend, some people still didn't believe her and came looking for her.
"Oh, I see... That's a real pity." The old man was a little disappointed. After giving her the letter of introduction and recommendation, he returned the items to her, waved his hand, and let Xu Sui go inside.
The Beijing No. 1 Machinery Factory was a large factory, mainly producing tractors and various machine tools.
On her first day at work, Xu Sui, as an intern, was assigned to the tractor manufacturing department by the director of the human resources department, where she interned under Guo Hai, a level 10 technician.
"Technician Guo, this is Xu Sui, an intern from Peking University. She will be learning under you from now on."
After taking Xu Sui to the production workshop and finding Guo Hai, the director of the personnel department left.
Guo Hai is a middle-aged man in his forties with a long scar on his face that has long since scabbed over, making him look somewhat fierce. He is wearing a safety helmet and blue overalls, and his hair is graying, with calluses all over his hands.
When Xu Sui saw him, he was squatting next to the machine tool, staring intently at the running machine, with a notebook in his hand recording some data.
The other person didn't really pay attention to her. After she greeted him at the beginning and he responded, he ignored her again.
While he was working, Xu Sui stood quietly to the side, watching him work.
Judging from this, she roughly guessed that there must be a problem with the machine tool and the product did not meet the requirements.
Technician Guo is examining the machine tool data, trying to find a problem.
Xu Sui looked around and started observing as well. However, she had just arrived at the factory and had never been exposed to this type of machine tool before, so it was impossible for her to discover the problem in a short time.
However, she did have some ideas, but she didn't know if they were what she was thinking.
As it was almost time to leave work, Mr. Guo finally looked up. He seemed extremely agitated, his brows furrowed. He suddenly tore up the data he had just recorded and tossed it into the trash can beside him.
He then looked up, and when he saw Xu Sui's fair and pretty face, he began to frown again.
Why was he assigned a young girl?
They look delicate and frail, not like they're capable of working. But in their line of work, it's common for them to spend the whole day in the workshop, and sometimes they even have to do manual labor themselves, carrying things.
"From Kyoto University?"
Xu Sui sensed that the person in front of her seemed dissatisfied with her, but she didn't say anything and just nodded and hummed in agreement.
Guo Hai looked Xu Sui up and down. "You're a young woman who got into such a good school, why did you choose this field?"
"Can someone like you endure hardship?"
Then, he snorted coldly, "Let me make this clear beforehand: you can learn under me, but I'm a very strict person with high standards. If you can't handle the hardship, then you'd better leave now."
"I won't take extra care of you just because you're a young woman."
Xu Sui didn't think it was a big deal. She believed that ability was the only way to change someone's opinion of you. No matter how nicely you talk, it's not as good as doing a good job.
She nodded earnestly, "Don't worry, Master, I can endure hardship."
She had such a hard childhood, and she raised herself by collecting garbage all by herself.
No matter how hard life was, it wasn't as hard as the days when she was a child and couldn't get enough to eat.
Guo Hai snorted and glanced at the pampered young girl in front of him, thinking she was exaggerating.
"I've heard that 'can endure hardship' countless times. In our line of work, who can't endure hardship?"
"Don't try to fool me with this. In short, if you can't handle the hardship, leave now and don't waste my time."
He's already busy enough lately, and the new machine tool he just developed today has run into problems. He's so overwhelmed with work that he doesn't have time to train new people.
Even if the newcomer is a graduate of Peking University, it's the same. In their line of work, if you can't endure hardship, it's as if you've wasted four years of study.
In the workplace, having a degree isn't enough; you also need real skills, otherwise, who will pay attention to you?
Xu Sui did not defend herself. She nodded again, without any hurry or panic, and without the slightest sense of grievance.
"I understand, Master Guo."
Guo Hai glanced at her with some surprise. She wasn't crying?
He had previously assigned a young female intern to his team. She almost made a big mistake due to negligence, and after being scolded a few times, she couldn't help but cry. The next day, she quit the job completely.
"Fine, I'll see how long you can hold out."
Although they are called interns, they actually spend most of their time running errands and doing odd jobs for their mentors. They are not allowed to handle the truly core tasks.
In particular, Technician Guo looked down on Xu Sui and had no intention of teaching her anything.
As luck would have it, Xu Sui ran into an acquaintance here.
The other person's name is Li Yang, who is one year older than Xu Sui. They both interned in Professor Zhang's laboratory and met a few times. Now they are interning in the machinery factory, so Xu Sui should call him senior brother.
The two were somewhat surprised to meet here.
Technician Guo was certain that Xu Sui wouldn't be able to keep going and didn't want to waste time on her, so he casually handed her over to one of his apprentices, Li Yang.
"Junior Sister Xu, you've actually been assigned to Master's command as well." Li Yang was also somewhat surprised to see Xu Sui.
