Siheyuan: Xu Damao's New Life

Chapter 143 Yan Jiecheng joins the company

The next morning, when Xu Damao pushed his cart to work, he saw Yan Jiecheng and Yan Bugui, who were dressed neatly, waiting for him at the door.

"Wow, it's worthy of being your first day at work. Brother Jie Cheng is really energetic today." Xu Damao praised casually.

"Hey, he's just tinkering around. Okay, ride your bike and go with your brother Damao." Yan Bugui took out the car keys from his pocket and handed them to Yan Jiecheng.

"Dad, you're not going fishing today?" Yan Jiecheng looked at his father in disbelief.

"No, I can go fishing any other day. Your registration is more important." Yan Bugui said.

"Really let me ride it?"

"Get out of here now. If you don't want to ride it, give it back to me." Yan Bugui slapped his eldest son on the shoulder.

"Hey, of course I'll ride it. I'll leave now." Yan Jiecheng laughed and pushed the bike out of the yard with Xu Damao.

The two rode side by side, chatting along the way.

"Jie Cheng, although there is a two-year age difference between us, we are childhood friends who grew up in the same compound. Now that you are about to go to work in the factory, I have to give you a few words of advice," said Xu Damao.

"Brother Damao, if you have something to say, just say it. You are the only capable person in our compound. I will definitely listen to you." Yan Jiecheng said.

"After you enter the factory, come to me if you have any problems. However, I am not familiar with the workshops there, so I can only wait for you to report and see which workshop you will be assigned to. After that, you will need to find a good master to guide you. When the time comes, you can ask around to find out which master chef has a good reputation, and don't be stingy and prepare a decent gift for him. As long as the master is willing to teach you the skills seriously, you will soon be promoted to a first-level worker. That little thing is nothing." Xu Damao reminded.

"I understand, Brother Damao. Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu from our hospital are both in the same workshop, right?" Yan Jiecheng asked.

"Well, they are both in the same workshop, but your family doesn't get along with Yi Zhonghai, so you'd better not go to the workshop."

"Okay, I remember it."

As the two of them were chatting, they entered the gate of the steel rolling mill. Along the way, many acquaintances greeted Xu Damao, and Xu Damao responded one by one.

"Good morning, Chief Xu."

"Morning for you too."

"Brother Damao, I haven't seen you for a few days. Let's have a drink when we have time!"

"Okay, let's call a few more people and make an appointment together."

"Chief Xu, are you here to bring the newcomers in?"

"He's a childhood friend of ours. I'm bringing him in today to report."

Yan Jiecheng thought to himself, "Brother Damao is really impressive. It turns out that my father has good vision and established good relationships early on. Otherwise, how could I have my own job!"

Xu Damao parked Yan Jiecheng's bicycle and took Yan Jiecheng to his office to familiarize himself with the door.

"Jie Cheng, please take a seat first. It's still early and the leaders haven't arrived yet."

Yan Jiecheng looked around the not-so-big office and praised, "Brother Damao, your office is really impressive. It's even bigger than my back room."

"Hey, what's the big deal? I'm just a deputy section chief. I'll show you Deputy Director Li's office later." Xu Damao said.

The office was indeed not big. After looking at it for a while, Yan Jiecheng lost interest and stood by the window looking at the crowded crowd outside.

"Brother Damao, do we have so many people in the steel mill?"

"We had a meeting yesterday, and we will interview a group of people every day in the next few days. I see you can't sit still, so how about I take you to familiarize yourself with the factory?" Xu Damao asked.

"Okay, Brother Damao."

Xu Damao took Yan Jiecheng for a walk and introduced each building.

"This is the office building, over there is a cafeteria, over there is the logistics warehouse, and that independent building is the factory's infirmary..."

Xu Damao looked at his watch and saw that it was already past nine in the morning, so he took Yan Jiecheng to meet Deputy Director Li. At least they had to meet each other so that he could take care of him in the future.

Xu Damao heard no one talking inside so he went in without knocking, "Brother Li, I brought my childhood friend with me."

"Oh, come here and let me see you. You look very energetic, young man. You must work hard in the future and make more contributions to the factory!" Li Huaide encouraged him.

Yan Jiecheng also spoke modestly, saying that he would work hard and live up to the trust of his leaders.

Xu Damao said, "Brother Li, you go ahead and do your work. I'll take him to the HR department to handle the formalities."

"Okay, you guys go ahead. I'm busy here. Oh, by the way, the factory is arranging interviews today and I'm a bit overwhelmed. If you're free, go and help."

"Okay, I'll go over and help after I finish my job application."

Next, Xu Damao took Yan Jiecheng to the Personnel Department to go through the entry procedures, and then went to the Logistics Department to collect work clothes, gloves, water cups and other items.

Xu Damao took Yan Jiecheng's employment notice and looked at it. Hmm, Workshop 3. I remember that the workshop director was Lao Meng, one of the few workshop directors that he was familiar with.

"Your workshop director happens to be quite familiar with me. He doesn't have any other hobbies except smoking and drinking. You can get some good cigarettes and good wine and give them to him privately. Ask him to choose a good master for you. I will also say hello to him." After Xu Damao finished speaking, he handed over the list.

"I understand. Thank you Brother Damao for your guidance." Yan Jiecheng said.

"Okay, we grew up together, so hurry up and take your things back. Just come to work on time tomorrow."

"Well, I have to go now. I have to go buy some things for the wedding."

"Go, go." Xu Damao waved his hand.

Red Star Hospital, Ward 406.

After finishing her breakfast early in the morning, He Yushui cooked some porridge with the remaining millet, and then went to see her brother with the lunch box.

Yesterday's nurse went back directly after seeing He Yushui coming. Shazhu was still unconscious and showed no signs of waking up. Yushui fed her brother some porridge with a spoon while wiping the corners of her brother's mouth from time to time. It took her a long time to feed him half a bowl of millet porridge.

After packing up the lunch box, He Yushui sat beside the bed and talked to his brother about some childhood stories. The doctor said that this would help stimulate the patient's brain and increase the chances of the patient waking up.

He Yushui has been exhausted these past two days, and was busy taking care of her brother. Before she knew it, she fell asleep beside the hospital bed.

An unknown amount of time had passed, but He Yushui seemed to hear some faint sounds in her sleep. She sat up with a start, and saw her silly brother's lips moving slightly, and he was saying something.

He Yushui turned sideways and put her ear close to her brother's mouth, only to hear her brother murmur "water". He Yushui hurriedly fed her brother the water that had been dried long ago with a spoon.

After feeding him a few spoonfuls of water, the silly brother's spirits were obviously much better, and Yu Shui was so happy that she cried.

"Wow, brother, it's great that you woke up. The doctor said that you would most likely not wake up. If you don't wake up tomorrow, I will have to write a letter to Dad." He Yushui's name was really right. Her tears flowed like a flood that had broken through the dam.

Sha Zhu opened his mouth and wanted to speak but failed. He just twitched the corners of his mouth to reveal an ugly smile, and then struggled to hold his sister's hand with his short and thick fingers.

"Brother, wait a minute. I'll go call the doctor. The doctor told me to go find them if you wake up."
