Chapter 40 Numbness

older brother's arm, she asked, "Really You really want to take me to see Dad"He Yuzhu reached out and scraped his sister's upturned nose: "Silly girl, how can you say that When have I not treated you...That morning, the workers at Red Star Rolling Mill were busy working on car parts in the workshop.

Then, from the radio speakers came Hai Tang's sweet and clear voice.

Hello, everyone. Now, let's announce an award notification.

“He Yu Zhu from the factory one canteen is diligent and responsible at work, kind-hearted. On his way home from work, he disregarded his own safety and bravely rescued a drowning boy...”

"Therefore, after careful deliberation by the factory leadership, it was decided to bestow upon him the title of Advanced Individual and present He Yuzhu with corresponding materials as a token of appreciation!"

"At the same time, call on all workers to learn from He Yuzhu!"

The broadcaster read the announcement three times before stopping.

Liu Haizhong listened and was dumbfounded. This whole thing stemmed from their own doing, yet He Yuzhu had been awarded as an advanced individual and even publicly praised on the radio, while he hadn't gained a single benefit. No way, he had to go back and beat those two brats again, otherwise he couldn't swallow this feeling of resentment!

The Propaganda Department, Xu Damao's face was full of grievance, no, this damn thing, what the hell is going on

To get ahead, I've been acting very low-key at work lately. I haven't even received a verbal compliment yet.

This Sha Zhu is lucky. He just went down to the river and suddenly became a model citizen

Xu Damao was a bit introverted and felt like he didn't even have an appetite for lunch.

Yi Zhonghai's attitude is still okay, this person even has a kind of old-fashioned feeling of accomplishment. Under his own training, Zhu Zi can be considered successful!

After work, I have to get Lao Yan and Lao Liu together to hold a big meeting for the whole courtyard. Let's make a big fuss about it! The Four Hears Courtyard has produced an advanced individual, this is such a face-saver for us.

.......

Canteen 1, Back Kitchen.

The head chef, Liu Limin, was so angry his teeth ached. He had originally planned to find an opportunity to secretly punish that fool Zhu.

Now this is ridiculous, he's become advanced and now even the leader has to come over and praise him. What kind of world is this!

Deputy Factory Director Li grabbed He Yuzhu's hand, shaking it repeatedly. His face beamed like a blooming chrysanthemum: "Master He, you really brought honor to our factory director today!"

The dining hall is managed by the Logistics Department, so in a strict sense, He Yuzhu also belongs to them.

Therefore, He Yuzhu has made achievements now, and as his deputy factory manager, he also came into the limelight.

Faced with Factory Director Li's praise, He Yuzhu was also very humble. Phrases like "thanks to the factory director's wise leadership" and "I will definitely work hard to live up to the factory director's expectations" came easily to his lips.

A decorated palanquin carried by people, with many peach and plum trees planted but few thorns. Flattery might not always be true, but as long as you know how to speak, others will surely feel comfortable listening.

Li, the deputy factory director, listened more and more approvingly. After glancing at Liu Limin, who was fidgeting behind him, he patted He Yuzhu's shoulder and said with emotion, "If you have any requirements for work, just say them. The factory will definitely try its best to meet them..."

He Yuzhu nodded: "Factory Director, you're right. There's something I need to ask for your help."

Deputy Director Li's face turned pale. "No, I was just being polite to you, and you're actually going to fight me"

He suppressed the displeasure in his chest, squinting and asking, “Oh Do tell.”

He Yuzhu said seriously, "I want to participate in the evening school tutoring class of our factory. I hope you can give me a place!"

Upon hearing this, Deputy Factory Director Li was taken aback. He never expected He Yuzhu to bring up this request at this juncture.

Well, I was overthinking it. I thought he might act arrogant and make some unreasonable demands of me!

This kid is quite clever, isn't he

He Yu Zhu said that the night school tutorial class was different from ordinary factory literacy classes. Literacy classes were non-profit in nature, and this one was for formal workers within the factory. As long as you wanted to go, you could at any time.

As for the night school tutorial classes, they are different. These have a threshold. The students attending are either high school graduates or those with leader recommendations. Moreover, as long as you perform well in the entrance exam, there is a chance to attend regular university courses.

Hóngxīng Rolling Mill belongs to the Ministry of Metallurgy, and each year it has a certain number of quotas for students to be admitted to the Steel Industrial College under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Metallurgy.

Although the course has fewer participants compared to a regular university program, the assessed professional knowledge is the same. Graduates will also receive an authentic university degree after completion.

With this thing, it will be easier to change jobs in the future, or to advance further within the company.

If He Yuzhu directly asked Li Fuchang for an enrollment quota from the Steel Industry Academy, he would be showing a lack of tact.

What he wants is a spot in the evening tutorial classes at the factory, which is a different kind of thing.

This was just a matter of words for Deputy Director Li, he didn't even need to write a letter of introduction, just tell the person in charge of the factory office training class.

Li, the deputy factory director, patted He Yuzhu's shoulder and said with earnest words: "Good job! Master He, your thirst for knowledge is worth learning from everyone!"

Hearing the melody of the song, one can discern its elegant meaning. He Yu Zhu immediately responded, "Don't worry, I will definitely not delay my own work. Attending the guidance class is purely for improving my knowledge."

Deputy Director Li nodded in satisfaction and instructed Liu Limin beside him: “I'll leave this to you. Inform the factory office and add Master He’s name, saying that I agree.”

Liu Limin wouldn't dare to refuse: "Factory Director, please rest assured, I will put this matter into action right away!"

Though he said it with confidence, Liu Limin was feeling quite awkward inside. Zhu Caicai is just a cook after all, at this age you still think about going to university

Hóngxīng Rolling Mill has tens of thousands of workers, and only four or five places are available for enrollment each year. What's more, September is right around the corner, the start of the school year. The difficulty can be described as one in ten thousand, if not even harder.

Go to college You Don't be ridiculous!

.........

As soon as Li, the Deputy Factory Manager, and Liu Limin had walked away, Ma Hua and his associates immediately crowded around.

Liu Ru was the most practical. First, she checked all the materials that were supposed to be awarded to He Yuzhu from the factory.

"Wow, this pork belly must be four or five pounds! That's a good haul. There's also a bag of red sugar and half a bag of white flour! The factory is really generous!"

"Master, why are you taking a guidance class I thought you were going to confront that Liu fellow!"

He Yuzhu glared at him: "What nonsense are you talking about, you little brat Why would I have any cards to show with him for no reason"

Ma Hua shrank his head sheepishly: "I saw it clearly just now. The old man was glaring at you with gritted teeth when Li, the deputy factory manager, praised you. I bet he couldn't sleep tonight!" take this opportunity to teach that little punk a lesson, so he won't have any more crooked ideas about his own house.As the old saying goes, there's no foolproof way to prevent theft if you plan on...
