Chapter 17 Hanging on the wall and standing on the ground

"He doesn't even need subsidies," Yi Zhonghai added.

Gao Zhendong heard this request, Jia Dongxu? Qin Huairu's husband, this unlucky guy who was only seen hanging on the wall, the play did not clearly say when he died, but judging from the age of his posthumous daughter, the third child, it should be around 61.

According to people in the yard, Jia Dongxu has been working in the factory and has been Yi Zhonghai's apprentice for five or six years. It is estimated that Yi Zhonghai accepted him because of the friendship between the two families. Jia Dongxu's talent as a fitter may be average, and he has been stuck at the level of second-level worker and cannot move up.

Obviously, Yi Zhonghai, who has a lot of experience, is also very optimistic about this project and wants to pave the way for his apprentice to get in and gain some experience. It has to be said that the master-apprentice relationship in this era is very real.

Gao Zhendong didn't care about changing Jia Dongxu's fate. It would be better if fewer people died, of course. But he couldn't just say, "Your disciple is dying, you have to be careful." He would probably be kicked out as soon as he finished speaking.

It was impossible for him to keep an eye on Jia Dongxu every day, as that might make others think he had some serious illness.

Just let it be. There will definitely be a butterfly effect when I travel through time myself. As to whether the butterfly effect is more powerful or the inertia of the plot takes over, it depends on Jia Dongxu's luck.

After a pause, Gao Zhendong said to Yi Zhonghai very sincerely, "Master Yi, we are neighbors in the same courtyard, so I will tell you the truth. The number of members who can be registered in this group is limited, and it has been clearly stated in the department's plan. It is difficult for Master Jia to be included in the list without any special reasons. Even if you want to use your name to exchange for his, it is impossible. Once you are on the list, other senior workers will definitely be eyeing you. Master Jia wants to compete with them, but I think he is still a little lacking in skills."

Yi Zhonghai was a little disappointed, but he also knew that Gao Zhendong was telling the truth, so he had to comfort Gao Zhendong: "Zhendong, you are right, I understand, let's just assume that he has no such fate this time."

Yi Zhonghai was also very clear that he could not fail to accomplish his task and offend people. Judging from Gao Zhendong's momentum, he would have a lot of trouble in the future.

Gao Zhendong thought for a moment and said, "How about this, Master Yi? As your apprentice, he will follow you into the team. He should be diligent, help you more and show up more often. Our team will give him every cent of the subsidy he deserves. If the project can be accepted in the end, he won't be on the main list, but I think it's safe to have his name on the main list."

Yi Zhonghai was very happy when he heard this: "Zhendong, you are so thoughtful. Thank you so much. I will bring him into the team as soon as my formalities arrive. You don't need to bother with his formalities. I will directly bring him over from here. On my side, I still have some face."

As Yi Zhonghai's apprentice, Jia Dongxu's specific work arrangements are basically decided by Yi Zhonghai, especially since Yi Zhonghai is an eighth-level worker, his superiors have to give him this face.

After the two of them had discussed and agreed, Gao Zhendong said goodbye to Yi Zhonghai and returned to his room. Before leaving, Yi Zhonghai said, "I'll ask Dongxu to come over and thank you later."

Gao Zhendong returned to his home, and Yi Zhonghai immediately took two bottles of wine from his room and walked towards the Jia family across the street.

It was almost eight o'clock at this time. Yi Zhonghai knocked on the door and Jia Zhang opened it with a shoe sole in her hand.

Jia Dongxu was repairing a broken bench at home at this time. His wife was at her parents' house with their two children, so he had nothing to do so he just tinkered with it. When he saw Yi Zhonghai coming in, he quickly put down his work, stood up and invited his master to sit down at the table.

"Master, it's late at night, you can just call me over, why bother coming here in the dark?"

"I'm fine anyway. I just happened to need help from you, so I came here. Do you think I'm too old to move?"

"Hehe, that's right. The deaf old lady is still very active. You, Master, must be even more energetic."

Yi Zhonghai's face straightened and he started talking about business: "Stop talking nonsense. I came here today for a good thing." Jia Dongxu was very curious: "What good thing is it?"

Yi Zhonghai told Jia Dongxu about the thermocouple research project team: "This is what happened. I risked my reputation to speak up, and Gao Zhendong was generous and tried his best to arrange you in. Now that you have this experience, I will work harder and I think your third-level worker problem will be solved."

Jia Dongxu was very happy. He had been stuck with this third-level job for three years, and there was no way to get it. Now his master had come up with this solution, and he finally saw hope: "The Gao Zhendong you mentioned is the college student assigned from Wudaokou College in the front yard? Master, thank you so much. You always think of me for good things. It's a pity that I am not motivated enough and failed to meet your requirements."

Yi Zhonghai had no choice. He was the one who accepted the apprentice, and he would support him even if it meant gritting his teeth. He and his wife had no children, and he might have to rely on this "well-matched (physics)" apprentice for his retirement.

Fortunately, although this child is not very talented, he has no problem respecting the elders, otherwise I would not have accepted him.

Yi Zhonghai handed two bottles of wine to Jia Dongxu: "You are my disciple. Gao Zhendong is open-minded and arranged things without saying anything. We should be polite. Although he doesn't look like he needs anything, he doesn't need anything. We should be sensible. Take these two bottles of wine and give them to him later before it's too late."

Jia Dongxu quickly declined: "Master, what are you doing? You have been so considerate of me, how can I ask you to do this?"

Yi Zhonghai stuffed the wine into Jia Dongxu's arms and said, "Take it. I don't need it. You support five people by yourself, and three of them don't have any food. How can I not know what the family situation is like? Why are you trying to be so stubborn in front of Master? That's it. I'm going back first."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out. Before leaving, he reminded her again: "Go and get the job done now while they may not be asleep yet, so that they won't think we are rude."

Jia Dongxu sent his master to the house opposite, then returned home and quickly took two bottles of wine to the front yard.

When they arrived at Gao Zhendong's door, the lights were still on, and Jia Dongxu knocked on the door.

Gao Zhendong was a little tired from reading ESR's stuff, so he was reading an online novel from his past life that he had won in a lottery to relax. He was reading and drinking tea when he heard the door open. He quickly put the book into the storage room, walked to the living room and opened the door.

"Hello, Senior Technician. I am Jia Dongxu, the apprentice of the middle courtyard master."

When he looked closely, the person hanging on the wall in the TV series in his previous life was standing in front of him alive. Gao Zhendong felt it was a bit magical for a moment.

"Ah, hello, Master Jia, please come in." Gao Zhendong calmed himself down and smiled as he invited Jia Dongxu into the living room, where an iron stove was burning and it was warm.

Jia Dongxu sat down after entering the room and began to thank Gao Zhendong: "Technician Gao, my master just came to me and told me everything about the research group. Thank you so much for this."

Gao Zhendong took a cup and poured water for Jia Dongxu while politely saying, "No, no, I also want to thank Master Yi for his support for our project."

The meaning is very clear, this matter is done for the sake of your master.
