Chapter 37: Master and Disciple Continue to Play "Sausage"

Chen Jianye stopped his work and opened the panel.

Name: Chen Jianye

Skills: Yang Style Tai Chi (Mastered)

Cooking LV1 Experience 178/200

Carpentry LV2 Experience 0/1000

Seeing the data on the panel, Chen Jianye's lips curved into a smile.

As he expected, the sudden influx of Carpentry knowledge was because his Carpentry experience had reached the upgrade standard.

Now his Carpentry Skill has reached LV2.

The experience needed to upgrade to LV3 directly doubled, reaching a terrifying 1000 points.

As for the Cooking column, the experience was about to reach the required amount for an upgrade.

With just two to three days of natural accumulation, his Cooking could be upgraded.

Chen Jianye temporarily set aside the Carpentry knowledge that had suddenly flooded his mind.

After calming himself, he continued to work diligently.

However, Chen Jianye discovered another problem.

He could earn more than twenty points of experience for a day's work, and if he relied solely on the experience provided by his current position, it would take one or two months to upgrade.

'After the Carpentry transfer exam, once I'm promoted to a formal worker, I'll talk to Team Leader Wang Lif about a job transfer.'

He needed to move to a more technical position to ensure that the experience gained from daily work would not fall behind the total experience needed for upgrades.

If an upgrade required a thousand points of experience, then gaining about fifty points of experience for a day's work would be more reasonable.

After all, his current level was relatively low, and he needed to maintain a relatively fast upgrade pace.

After secretly deciding on this matter, Chen Jianye patiently continued his work.

After the upgrade, he felt that his use of the file was even more skillful, as if he was an old Master with several years of Carpentry experience.

The time it took to finish a qualified workpiece was also shortened.

Basically, in less than five minutes, Chen Jianye could produce a qualified part.

The hourly output could reach 12 to 14 pieces.

Chen Jianye was very satisfied with this result.

He didn't need to pursue quantity; his main goal was to hone his skills.

He worked diligently for the entire morning.

Chen Jianye called Hu Nanpeng to inspect the workpieces.

"Jianye, you are truly amazing."

Hu Nanpeng gave a thumbs up.

If he were in Chen Jianye's position, he would simply pass all the 'almost good enough' parts and wouldn't bother to refine them.

"I'm just doing my job well."

Chen Jianye smiled.

"I can tell with a glance that there's absolutely no problem with this batch of parts."

"Neat and uniform, very good."

As Hu Nanpeng spoke, he casually picked up a workpiece and checked it with a caliper.

Chen Jianye stood by, drinking water from his cup.

"No problem. From now on, just call me to check once in the morning and once in the afternoon."

"You just focus on your work the rest of the time."

Hu Nanpeng was very satisfied.

After giving his instructions, he invited Chen Jianye to eat at the cafeteria together.

When Hu Nanpeng first received this task, he thought Wang Lif had sent him to look after a child.

After working for a day and understanding Chen Jianye's practical skill level, Hu Nanpeng felt that Chen Jianye indeed worked diligently.

However, he still didn't want to get too close to Chen Jianye.

Because Yi Zhonghai was above him, getting close to Chen Jianye seemed like disrespecting Yi Zhonghai.

After these past few days of interaction, Hu Nanpeng felt that Chen Jianye would definitely have a promising future.

He was willing to actively befriend Chen Jianye.

Even offending Yi Zhonghai didn't matter.

No matter how impressive Yi Zhonghai was as an Eighth-Grade Fitter, he was still just an ordinary worker.

Hu Nanpeng felt that Chen Jianye would definitely be extraordinary in the future, perhaps even more promising than Yi Zhonghai.

By getting closer to him now, when Chen Jianye became successful in the future, he would also be able to connect with him.

"Master Hu, thank you, but I go home for lunch."

Chen Jianye was momentarily stunned, then said with a smile.

"Then I'll go by myself."

Hu Nanpeng chuckled.

Chen Jianye stepped out, heading towards the outside of the Workshop.

"Oh, isn't that Chen Jianye?"

A sarcastic voice sounded behind Chen Jianye.

Chen Jianye didn't stop, continuing to walk outside.

"Chen Jianye, stop right there!"

"I told you to stop, are you deaf?!"

Jia Dongxu shouted exasperatedly.

Chen Jianye, however, maintained his pace, too lazy to bother with Jia Dongxu.

"Chen Jianye, let me tell you, you won't learn anything by working every day; you'll have to be an intern for three, even five years."

"No one will teach you skills, and begging won't help."

"In front of me, you're just trash!"

Jia Dongxu was both angry and furious, and he ran at full speed.

He ran up to Chen Jianye.

He opened his mouth, wanting to mock Chen Jianye fiercely.

Without a Master's help, Chen Jianye would be a good-for-nothing in the future; there was no way he could upgrade his Carpentry skills.

As for him, Jia Dongxu, with the Eighth-Grade Fitter Yi Zhonghai teaching him techniques, he would definitely become a technical backbone of the Pliers worker team, and his level would soar.

Slap!

Chen Jianye turned around and directly slapped Jia Dongxu across the face.

Jia Dongxu's mouth was open, and he was completely stunned.

He never expected that Chen Jianye would dare to strike him so brazenly in the Workshop.

"Is this what you wanted?"

Chen Jianye's face was full of mocking smiles, and he said coldly.

"Chen Jianye, you dare to hit me? I'm going to report you to the Squad Leader! No! I'll report you to the Workshop Leader!"

"You're finished!"

Jia Dongxu shouted.

"Go ahead, and remember to tell them everything you said to me."

Chen Jianye didn't care at all.

"You!"

Jia Dongxu's chest heaved violently.

He had spoken too harshly just now and didn't dare to tell the Leader.

Jia Dongxu could only accept this loss.

"The marks on your Master's face have faded, and he's been brave enough to show his face these past few days. You can just refresh them for him."

"Also, when I'm working in the factory, I don't like to hear people blabber. Don't bother me."

Chen Jianye warned him a few times, then turned and left.

He didn't want to say much to a dead man.

If Jia Dongxu hadn't actively run up to him, Chen Jianye wouldn't have bothered to chase after him and deliver that slap.

"Chen Jianye!"

Jia Dongxu glared fiercely at Chen Jianye's retreating back, his fingernails almost piercing his palms.

The finger marks on his face were of varying lengths, like sausages hanging on his face, looking very comical.

In the afternoon, Chen Jianye returned to continue working.

It was very quiet around him.

Chen Jianye was very confident in the force of his blow; at least the 'sausages' on Jia Dongxu's face would remain for three to five days.

This meant that, before the transfer exam, Jia Dongxu would have to hide from him for the sake of his pride, so as not to be ridiculed by him.

In fact, Chen Jianye had no intention of ridiculing Jia Dongxu at all.

He thoroughly enjoyed the quiet time while working.

He focused intently on polishing the workpiece in his hand.

"Jianye, that's enough, it's almost time to get off work."

Hu Nanpeng came up to Chen Jianye and said with a smile.

"Ah, I was so engrossed in my work that I forgot to check the time."

Chen Jianye finished polishing the last part and said with a smile.

"You little rascal, are you waiting for me to work overtime to check for you?"

Hu Nanpeng made a joke and, in a good mood, inspected the parts.

Chen Jianye offered a cigarette, packed up his tools, and cleaned his workbench.

"Did you hit Jia Dongxu at noon today?"

Hu Nanpeng took the cigarette, sniffed it lightly under his nose with pleasure, and then suddenly asked.

"Yes, he was blabbering in front of me, and I found him very annoying, so I slapped him."

"It worked quite well; it was finally quiet this afternoon."

Chen Jianye said frankly.

"Oh, you're too impulsive."

"I was originally thinking of mediating between you and Lao Yi, but now you've hit his apprentice. How can he reconcile with you now?"

Hu Nanpeng complained a little.

"Thank you for your kindness, Master Hu, I appreciate it."

Chen Jianye expressed his gratitude.

"Looking at you, I can tell you don't care at all. It seems I was being meddlesome."

"But I have to tell you, Jia Dongxu has been saying a lot of bad things about you in the team, leading others to isolate you."

"You should be aware of this. In the future, don't resort to violence when something happens. Public support is very important; don't always think that just doing your job well is enough."

Hu Nanpeng advised.

"Hmm, I'll keep that in mind and think about it carefully."

Chen Jianye was open to advice.

Hu Nanpeng opened his mouth, but in the end, he held back what he wanted to say.

At noon, Jia Dongxu gathered the Pliers worker team employees and said many bad things about Chen Jianye.

He also said that Chen Jianye had a mental illness, couldn't handle stimulation, and liked to hit people.

Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu's own experiences could corroborate this.

The Carpentry workers were not familiar with Chen Jianye, so even if they didn't fully believe Jia Dongxu's words, they would still maintain a respectful distance from Chen Jianye.

It's like someone saying there's a particularly smelly pile of feces ahead.

A normal person would choose to walk around it rather than verify it by smelling whether it was actually smelly or not.
