Chapter 7
The Broken Jia Dongxu Is the Best Jia Dongxu

Bu Xiangdong held his work certificate and first went to the logistics department to collect his work uniform for the steel rolling mill.

For most poor people, wearing a work uniform is a kind of hope and honor.

Like all the new recruits or apprentices, he had to start from the bottom.

Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, first machinist workshop!

It was early morning, and the atmosphere was still a bit relaxed.

As Bu Xiangdong walked into the workshop, everyone turned to look at him.

But they quickly turned back, after all, they were in the workshop.

Seeing Bu Xiangdong taking his time.

Jia Dongxu immediately gritted his teeth in anger.

“Bu Xiangdong!”

“Oh, Jia Crybaby, I told you, this shift is mine.”

“You shouldn't have come.”

“But I still came.”

“You have no self-awareness; be careful not to end up like your dad.”

Jia Dongxu was suddenly pushed against the wall by Bu Xiangdong's arm.

“What did you say?”

“Bu Xiangdong, let me go! Hurry up and let me go.”

Jia Dongxu gasped for breath, feeling like he was going to suffocate.

“Cough, cough, I admit you can fight, but what good is that? To work here, you need power and connections. My master is a level eight machinist, Yi Zhonghai, you better watch out!”

“……”

Using the tiger's might to intimidate others, Jia Dongxu was quite skilled at it.

Unfortunately, Bu Xiangdong wasn't buying it.

“You can call me Brother Dong, or even Master Dong, I can handle it.”

Bu Xiangdong gave him a couple of hard jabs to the stomach before letting him go.

“Ouch, damn it, Bu Xiangdong, how dare you hit someone in the factory.”

“Jia Dongxu, you have a screw loose; I already hit you, and you ask if I dare?”

Jia Dongxu: “……”

What the hell, he was really arrogant.

Doesn't he know whose territory this is?

Just wait until I report you.

..............

But with Bu Xiangdong's next words, he was silenced.

“Guess why Yi Zhonghai treats your family so well. In other words, who in your family does he have his eye on?”

“Could it be... you know!”

Is he thinking about my mom or my wife? It can't be me, right?

Jia Dongxu quickly ruled out one correct answer.

“Of course I know, and I also know why you keep failing your assessments.”

Jia Dongxu: “……”

What does Bu Xiangdong know?

[Host successfully provoked, reward granted!]

[Ding, congratulations host: received a pork fan!]

[Default option, materials stored in system space!]

Seeing that trouble had arisen over here!

Yi Zhonghai immediately walked over with an unhappy expression, “Bu Xiangdong, what are you doing?”

“Nothing much, I'm a new recruit reporting in, just greeting my coworkers!”

“Since you're here to work in the workshop, you need to act like a worker; go move that pile of materials.”

“Hey, I thought we were screwing in bolts; turns out we're moving bricks.”

“Stop being sarcastic; apprentices all go through this.”

After scolding Bu Xiangdong, Yi Zhonghai returned to his position.

He was the master in the workshop and generally didn't need to get his hands dirty unless there was a special task.

In the workshop, he was a technical guide and also trained apprentices, while Jia Dongxu used the workbench.

As Yi Zhonghai's apprentice, Jia Dongxu was always very proud.

Yi Zhonghai's workstation was quite complex and high-end.

It was a level eight machinist's workbench.

Ordinary people rarely had the chance to touch it.

“Haha, you think you can come to the workshop and learn machining? You might as well be a mover.”

“You're so impressive; you've been an apprentice for three years and still haven't graduated. You're really a learning failure.”

“What learning failure? I just haven't been assessed; anyway, I'm better than you.”

...................

As a three-year repeat student, this topic couldn't be brought up; once it was, Jia Dongxu would get anxious.

There are two assessment opportunities each year, in the spring and autumn skill level exams.

He hadn't passed a single one.

Meanwhile, some of his peers had reached level three or level four.

“Since you think you're better than me, why have you failed every level exam? Why haven't you learned the basic operations? Are you stupid? If you're not stupid, then the implications are terrifying.”

“You're the stupid one; who says I can't do it? Just wait and see.”

Jia Dongxu was full of confidence, feeling the need to showcase his true skills.

But suddenly, there was a loud crash.

Then everyone in the workshop was shocked.

A huge steel plate mold fell down, crushing Jia Dongxu's leg.

“Ah... help... ah...”

Jia Dongxu's scream sent chills down everyone's spine.

Bu Xiangdong's heart sank.

It couldn't be that unlucky.

Was he really going to have to send Jia Dongxu off on his first day at work?

As soon as everyone saw the accident, the workshop was thrown into chaos.

With a serious expression, Yi Zhonghai shouted, “Dongxu.”

Then he quickly stood up from his chair.

“Bu Xiangdong, hurry and pull the electric hoist; are you going to just stand by and watch?”

Because Bu Xiangdong was the closest.

He pulled the electric hoist to lift the mold.

“Jia Dongxu, Jia Dongxu, does it hurt? Please don't die, okay?”

Yi Zhonghai: “……”

Can someone tell me what's going on here!

This situation is not right.

But Bu Xiangdong felt—

If he died, it would be all over, and a broken Jia Dongxu would be the best Jia Dongxu.

Only in this way could he feel the warmth and coldness of the world! Only then could he drag down the Jia family.
