It was almost noon, and the other sections of the exam had basically ended.
Only the Level 8 assessment was left. It started in the morning and lasted until the end.
After the last test was completed, Li Huaimin heaved a sigh of relief.
"Report, assessment complete."
Li Huaimin raised his hand to report.
A few engineers and technicians who were invigilating the exam quickly surrounded him.
After careful inspection, the invigilators unanimously passed Li Huaimin.
"Comrade Huaimin, congratulations. You have passed the Level 8 Fitter Assessment. I hope that you will shine in your work in the future and be able to advance as soon as possible.”
"Thank you, Engineer Chu. Thank you, leaders, and seniors. I will work hard.”
Li Huaimin said with a smile. From now on, he was also a Level 8 worker, and his status had risen to another level.
Manager Yang was also very happy.
He invited the engineers and technicians who were invigilating the exam."Engineer Chu, Engineer Liu, it's already lunchtime. I've already asked someone to prepare a welcome meal. Let's take a rest after eating before leaving.”
"Thank you for your hospitality, Manager Yang." The leading engineer nodded.”
Factory Manager Yang laughed and said to Li Huaimin,"Huaimin, come along too. Engineer Chu and the others are here for you today. You have to give them a toast later.”
"I should."
Li Huaimin also smiled. Today was destined to be a joyous day.
The workshop door opened and a group of people stood outside.
They were all waiting here to see the results of the grade-8 assessment.
Li Huaimin saw Jia Dongxu standing in front of the crowd and whispered to Deputy Factory Manager Yang,""Manager Yang, I'll go and tell my disciples to leave first and not wait for me.”
Factory Manager Yang also nodded and said,"Go ahead."”
Li Huaimin left the group of leaders and walked straight towards Jia Dongxu. Yi Zhonghai saw that he was going in a different direction from the others, and his face instantly blossomed with a smile.
"You see, I told you that Li Huaimin couldn't pass the Level 8 locksmith assessment. If he really did, the leaders would definitely invite him along for lunch.”
Yi Zhonghai was right. A Level 8 fitter was already a very prestigious existence in the rolling mill.
There were only two of them who were qualified to eat with the leaders.
Li Huaimin walked towards him. Did he really fail?
"Master, what are you doing?"
Jia Dongxu started to worry.
If Li Huaimin really didn't pass the grade eight exam, would he really have to be Yi Zhonghai's disciple?
As he spoke, Li Huaimin had already walked up to Jia Dongxu and said,""Dongxu, go back with everyone. I won't be going back in the afternoon.”
Jia Dongxu's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Master isn't going back. Could it be that he passed the exam?
Yi Zhonghai laughed out loud.""Li Huaimin, what are you pretending for? Why aren't you going back for lunch? Why are you pretending to be a leader and treating you to a meal?”
Li Huaimin knew what Yi Zhonghai was looking forward to, so he immediately poured cold water on him."Yi Zhonghai, be more polite with your words. What do you mean by treating me to a meal as a fake leader? I passed the exam, so I should celebrate with the leaders, toast to the engineers and technicians, and thank them for coming all the way here for me.”
Whoosh!
When these words came out of Li Huaimin's mouth, the matter of passing the exam was completely sealed.
Everyone looked at Yi Zhonghai as if he was a clown.
"Impossible, you just passed the Level 7 assessment last autumn. How could you pass Level 8 in such a short time? Did you cheat?"
Even Jia Dongxu couldn't stand Yi Zhonghai's words.
"Master Yi, you're going too far with your words. My master's fitter skills are well-known. Why can't he pass the Level 8 assessment? Don't tell me you're unwilling to admit defeat and want to go back on your word?”
"What do you mean by 'willing to lose?'" Li Huaimin asked Jia Dongxu. Who made a bet with who?"
Jia Dongxu chuckled and told him about the bet he made with Yi Zhonghai.
Who knew that Li Huaimin would reprimand him fiercely.
"Silly, how can you bet on such a thing? You're my disciple, so you'll be my disciple for life. You're not allowed to use this kind of thing to bet with others in the future.”
Although he was reprimanded by Li Huaimin, Jia Dongxu was very grateful.
This meant that Li Huaimin really cared about his disciple. He was worried that he would lose to Yi Zhonghai.
"Master, I know I was wrong. However, I know your strength, so this is not a gamble. Moreover, the bet between Yi Zhonghai and me is that once you pass the Level 8 assessment, he will acknowledge you as his master in public.”
Jia Dongxu immediately changed the way he addressed him. He didn't even call him Master Yi anymore.
He directly called Yi Zhonghai's name.
However, it was not wrong to call him that. After all, Yi Zhonghai was about to become Li Huaimin's second disciple, which was also Jia Dongxu's junior brother.
It was only natural for a senior brother to call his junior brother by his name.
Of course, Yi Zhonghai wouldn't really acknowledge Li Huaimin as his master. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to raise his head in front of Li Huaimin for the rest of his life. So, he pretended to be joking and laughed."Dongxu, you're too serious. I'm an adult, how could I make such a bet with a junior like you? Actually, I was just joking with you, it doesn't count.”
Disdainful voices came from the surroundings.
However, Yi Zhonghai pretended that he didn't hear anything. He wouldn't acknowledge Li Huaimin as his master anyway.
Li Huaimin didn't want to take Yi Zhonghai as his disciple either.
First of all, Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu were both fitter workers. Even if Yi Zhonghai gained experience faster, the exam had already ended. The next exam would be half a year later.
With Jia Dongxu's experience, Li Huaimin would be promoted to a high-level technician.
There was no need for Yi Zhonghai to take up his disciple quota.
Therefore, even if Yi Zhonghai wanted to be his disciple, he would not accept him.
"When I, Li Huaimin, take in disciples, I value character the most. Even if some of them are good at fitter work, I won't take them in if their character isn't good.”
"The leaders are still waiting for me to eat, so I won't say anything more. Let's celebrate together another day.”
After mocking Yi Zhonghai, Li Huaimin walked to the guest house to have lunch.
