Chapter 30 Joining the Steel Rolling Mill
Chapter 30 Joining the Steel Rolling Mill
After asking around on the way, Shen Zhishou easily found the personnel department of the steel rolling mill and completed the onboarding procedures in a neat and efficient manner. As for the job, he naturally chose fitter.
Personnel Section Chief Qian Weimin personally led Shen Zhishou to the fitter workshop and found Zhou Wangjia, the workshop director of the fitter workshop.
"Director Zhou, I've brought someone to you!"
"This is Comrade Shen Zhishou. From now on, he'll be one of your team members in Workshop One. You'd better find a skilled master craftsman to teach him properly!"
"Section Chief Qian, please don't worry!"
Zhou Wangjia laughed heartily, "Leave the people to me, they definitely won't let you down!"
"Alright, I'll leave the person to you!"
Qian Weimin waved his hand, nodded to Shen Zhishou, and then left.
"Shen Zhishou, right?"
"With your physique, being a fitter shouldn't be a problem. Come on, I'll introduce you to an experienced master craftsman!"
Zhou Wangjia sized up Shen Zhishou for a moment, then warmly invited him into the workshop.
Shen Zhishou followed calmly behind the other person, very composed.
Some unspoken rules are known to those in the know.
As a newly hired worker, being personally escorted to the workshop by the head of the personnel department indicates that the visitor is no ordinary person.
Zhou Wangjia naturally understood.
Shen Zhishou understood as well.
Although he did not meet with Director Yang when he came to the steel rolling mill, how could it have been done so quickly without Director Yang's approval?
The head of the personnel department must be one of Director Yang's people!
Otherwise, the other party wouldn't care so much about Shen Zhishou.
In other words, he, Shen Zhishou, should now be considered part of Director Yang's faction.
Of course, if he had always been just an ordinary factory worker, even if Director Yang and Li Huaide were to fight, it wouldn't have affected Shen Zhishou, a minor character.
But will he always just be a factory worker?
Shen Zhishou himself didn't have a definite idea about this issue.
Often, success depends on human effort.
Sometimes, there are things that he simply can't avoid.
Shen Zhishou didn't know whether his choice to join the steel rolling mill was the right or wrong one.
However, water flows downhill, and people strive to rise higher.
With mixed feelings, Shen Zhishou met Song Peiman, the master craftsman who had been arranged by Zhou Wangjia to teach him fitter skills.
The other person had a similar hairstyle to Yi Zhonghai, with most of his hair turned white, but he looked quite energetic, and his eyes were especially bright.
"Hello, Master Song. I hope you'll take good care of me in the future!"
Shen Zhishou bowed sincerely to Song Peiman.
Song Peiman stared at Shen Zhishou for a moment, then nodded and said, "Study hard. If you don't understand anything, ask questions. Practice more in your spare time!"
"Being a fitter is easy to learn at first, but to improve requires a lot of hard work!"
"Don't be afraid of hardship!"
"Master Song, I come from a village, and what I fear most is hardship!"
Shen Zhishou wasn't just boasting.
He had never suffered much hardship in his original life, or rather, in his previous life. But in this era, he has truly endured a lot of hardship, and he is not afraid of hardship.
He suffered hardship and saw no hope in the village, which is why he chose to go to the city.
After becoming a fitter, every bit of hard work brings corresponding rewards, so Shen Zhishou is truly not afraid of hardship.
Of course, given his physical condition, the hardships of being a fitter are really nothing to him.
"Well, I'm watching!"
Song Peiman smiled, his gaze falling on Shen Zhishou. Seeing his clothes, he immediately called someone over and asked them to lead Shen Zhishou to the logistics department to collect a full set of work safety supplies.
This task was originally supposed to be done by someone from the personnel department, but Qian Weimin, as the head of the personnel department, completely forgot about this small matter and simply sent the person to the workshop.
Shen Zhishou thanked him and followed Wang Mingliang to the logistics warehouse.
Wang Mingliang looked a little younger than Shen Zhishou, but he was very talkative.
Through his conversation with the other party, Shen Zhishou learned that Zhou Wangjia had arranged for him to be the most skilled level eight worker in the workshop as his mentor.
"Brother Shen, I'm not bragging, but Master Song's skills are absolutely the best in the entire steel rolling mill. No one can compare to him, especially Yi Zhonghai from Workshop Two. He's also an eighth-level fitter, but Yi Zhonghai is nothing compared to Master Song."
Hearing Wang Mingliang's evaluation of Yi Zhonghai, Shen Zhishou was completely at a loss for words.
"Brother Shen, you're really lucky!"
"If you were assigned to Workshop Two, and placed next to Yi Zhonghai, tsk tsk, that would be truly miserable!"
"I've heard that Yi Zhonghai looks honest and kind, but he's actually quite cunning. Over the years, very few of his apprentices have amounted to much!"
"Brother Shen, I'm only saying this because I consider you one of our own, so please don't tell anyone else!"
"Although Yi Zhonghai isn't a great person, his technical skills are decent. Most people in the factory don't want to offend him, since our Factory Director Yang values him quite a bit!"
"understand!"
Shen Zhishou smiled, indicating that he understood and would not speak carelessly.
As for Yi Zhonghai being valued by Director Yang?
This is normal!
No matter how skilled Yi Zhonghai is as an eighth-level fitter, his technical expertise is undeniable.
The production tasks of the steel rolling mill, especially some high-precision tasks, particularly those of skilled master craftsmen who possess superb skills.
Wang Mingliang and Shen Zhishou talked all the way to the logistics warehouse.
Then, the warehouse manager quickly made the registration and brought Shen Zhishou the appropriate work protection supplies.
Back in the workshop, Song Peiman immediately arranged for Wang Mingliang to take Shen Zhishou to familiarize himself with the various tools used by fitters and to teach Shen Zhishou how to use them.
Wang Mingliang, having been invited by Song Peiman, was quite fond of playing the role of a teacher.
The more Shen Zhishou interacted with Wang Mingliang, the more he felt that this guy was a real character, and he was extremely excited.
Because his body had been enhanced, Shen Zhishou's control over his power was near perfect. These tools were as if they came to life in his hands; to use an idiom, it was as if he could control them with ease.
"Brother Shen, you really haven't learned this before?"
"Do I even need to learn this? Anyone can do it!"
Shen Zhishou directly went to Versailles.
Even someone as cheerful as Wang Mingliang was starting to question the meaning of life.
He had been an apprentice for two years, and he wouldn't dare say he was proficient in using all of these tools.
However, Shen Zhishou could use any tool with ease within minutes of getting started. His skillful operation and effortless technique made Wang Mingliang feel like he was a simpleton.
"That's right, you were born for this!"
Upon seeing Shen Zhishou's situation, Song Peiman quickly accepted his genius.
People are inherently different.
Some people are born to work in certain industries; that's talent!
"Mingliang, you're not bad either!"
"Just don't compare yourself to him. Even I couldn't beat him when I first started learning to be a fitter."
Song Peiman offered Wang Mingliang some sincere words of comfort.
However, Comrade Xiao Wang felt a sense of shattered resolve; life is truly bitter!
