"Grandpa Yi, it was a good opportunity just now. Everyone is looking for Li Chengye to collect their debts.”
In Shazhu's house, Yi Zhonghai and Shazhu were sitting face to face.
The table was filled with good dishes, such as celery beef, fried peanuts, and braised pork.。。
All kinds of good dishes were placed on the table. It was extremely sumptuous and made people drool just by looking at it.
Even with Yi Zhonghai's salary, he could not bear to eat so well during the New Year.
However, Yi Zhonghai had no appetite at this time. He poured himself a small cup of white wine and drank it in one gulp before speaking to Shazhu.
"You should already know that Li Chengye was the one who made that Quick Heat, right?”
Yi Zhonghai didn't even raise his head as he poured himself another cup before asking Silly Zhu.
"Hai, I didn't expect it either. It really was that bastard. When did he have such ability?”
Since the First Uncle already knew, Silly Zhu didn't hide it anymore. After pouring himself a glass of wine, he said gloomily.
"Do we really have to pay him more than 300 yuan? This time, everyone in the courtyard lost to him. Those people definitely won't be willing to pay.”
"Let's not talk about anything else. Just the Third Master Yan Bugui, if you ask him to lose 30 yuan, it's almost like taking his life.”
"So I think we might as well go back on our word. How can he ask so many of us for a debt?”
Silly Zhu drank another mouthful of wine before voicing out his thoughts.
"If it was in the past, it would be fine, but not now. Factory Manager Yang values this Li Chengye very much and wants to rope him in. Deputy Factory Manager Li was praised by the higher-ups because of this matter. How could he not support Li Chengye?”
"Factory Manager Yang also wants to win over Li Chengye.”
When Silly Zhu heard this, his eyes widened and he said indignantly.
"He was just lucky to get this thing. I don't believe he has any other abilities.”
"Besides, gambling is illegal. If I don't pay, what can he do to me?”
"Gambling is illegal, but it's not just Li Chengye's business. If it's exposed, we won't benefit much either.”
"If this matter gets blown up, how will others look at our courtyard in the future? Are you still going to be the head chef of the canteen? If this matter blows up, we might all lose our jobs.”
"She's a martyr and now she's valued by Deputy Factory Manager Li. She might be able to get away, but we'll be in trouble!”
Yi Zhonghai slammed his wine glass on the table and said angrily.
"Are we just going to compensate him with 370 yuan? Grandpa Yi, I don't have that much money on me!”
Thinking about how much money he would have to pay, Silly Zhu's heart ached.
The problem was that he didn't have that much money. He had to borrow it from a grandpa.
Not only did he not get the bicycle, but he also had a huge debt on his back. How could Silly Zhu not feel pain in his balls?
Although the First Uncle definitely wouldn't urge him to return it, Silly Zhu still felt very uncomfortable.
"Let's see the situation first. If the others pay, we'll pay. Otherwise, we won't pay either!”
Yi Zhonghai was not willing to give up 200 yuan just like that. In the end, he could only say it gloomily.
The two of them sighed, feeling that the table full of good dishes had lost their taste.
。。。
The next morning, a piece of major news was announced in the rolling mill.
Li Chengye, a second-level fitter in Workshop 023, invented a small electrical device called Quick Heat, which could quickly boil water. It was safe and convenient.
The factory was already preparing to open a branch factory to produce this kind of fast heater. They would start selling it at 7.80 yuan each.
As a benefit of the rolling mill, priority was given to the internal employees of the rolling mill to buy. No receipt was needed, and each person was limited to one.
Li Chengye was rewarded with a bicycle ticket, 20 pounds of meat tickets, 500 pounds of food tickets, a sewing ticket, a watch ticket, a fountain pen, and cash reward. 200 dollars.
He was awarded the title of Model Worker of the Rolling Mill and was nominated as the Advanced Worker of the Year.。。
Factory Manager Yang and Deputy Factory Manager Li took a group photo with Li Chengye, praising Li Chengye's invention and creation, bringing warmth to the people in winter.。。
As a large factory with tens of thousands of people, Red Star Rolling Mill not only had its own publicity department, but it also had its own newspaper.
In today's rolling mill newspaper, there was a page that introduced the new Hot Faster.
On the other page, there was a promotion and introduction of Li Chengye.
In an instant, everyone in the factory knew the name Li Chengye.
In a workshop of the rolling mill, Liu Haizhong had just arrived in front of the machine tool.
He picked up the teacup and took a sip before flipping open a newspaper.
When Liu Haizhong first arrived at work, he noticed that the bulletin board was crowded with people.
Liu Haizhong wanted to see what was going on, but there were too many people, so he was too lazy to squeeze.
Besides, if something big happened, the newspapers in the factory would probably report it.
In order to make himself look more like those leaders, Liu Haizhong also ordered a lot of newspapers for himself.
At this moment, Liu Haizhong imitated the posture of the leaders in the factory that he saw.
He held a teacup in one hand and flipped open the newspaper in the other, just like the leaders in the factory that Liu Hai saw.
However, the difference was that those leaders were behind their desks, while Liu Haizhong was in front of the machine tool.
"This is hot news. It seems that the factory is going to sell this thing soon. I don't want tickets. This is an internal benefit. I'll buy one too.”
Liu Haizhong chuckled and took a sip of tea when he saw the introduction of the Quick Heat on the page.
A hundred yuan immediately entered his account, making his bangs feel exceptionally comfortable.
However, when he flipped to another page, Liu Haizhong spat out the tea in his mouth, wetting the entire newspaper.
"How is this possible? It's really him.。。”
Liu Haizhong looked as if he had lost his soul. His hands kept trembling, and he almost couldn't believe his eyes.
The other page was a long introduction of Li Chengye. There were also photos of Factory Manager Yang, Deputy Factory Manager Li, and Li Chengye.
"Little Li, you actually invented the Fast Heat! It's really amazing!”
In the workshop, after being accepted as Yi Zhonghai's disciple, Wang Zishi, who had been opposing Li Chengye for the past few days, walked over and complimented him.
Initially, he thought that Li Chengye did not know how to appreciate favors and rejected Yi Zhonghai's offer to take him as a disciple.
Therefore, in order to show off in front of Yi Zhonghai, Wang Zishi repeatedly targeted Li Chengye, and he was indeed rewarded by Yi Zhonghai.
But now, he suddenly realized that Li Chengye had become a popular person in the rolling mill overnight. He even showed his face in front of the director and deputy director.
Wang Zishi panicked and immediately began to curry favor with Li Chengye.
However, Li Chengye could not be bothered to deal with such a villain.
"Wang Zishi, go back to your desk.”
At this moment, the production team leader walked over and scolded Wang Zishi.
Then, he said to Li Chengye with a smile.
"Li, you're amazing. Our workshop has also produced an engineer. This reward is really generous.”
"The reward is quite generous."
This production team leader was not a snob like Wang Zishi. He had always had a good relationship with Li Chengye, so Li Chengye was happy to deal with him.
In fact, most of the people in the workshop got along well with Li Chengye.
"Tonight, let's go out and find a restaurant to have a meal.”
Li Chengye said to the team leader, and the people around him immediately cheered.
"Of course, except for you."
When Wang Zishi heard this, his expression immediately turned ugly.
