Chapter 62: Jia Zhang was injured

Jia Zhangshi twisted open the pliers, holding the workpiece upright on the wooden board: "Lao Yi, come and check, how did I do?"

"You did very average. Even a dog gnawing on it would do better than you."

Yi Zhonghai said grumpily.

"I think you're deliberately looking down on me, aren't you?"

As soon as Jia Zhangshi heard this, the anger in her heart surged.

As she spoke, she waved her large hand, and the workpiece standing upright on the workbench fell, pressing down on the back of Jia Zhangshi's other hand with a smack.

"Ouch!"

Jia Zhangshi immediately cried out in pain, pulling her hand out from under the part.

"Look, look at you!"

Yi Zhonghai was both anxious and angry.

It had only been one day, and Jia Zhangshi was already injured. How was he supposed to teach her now?

"Ow, ow, ow, it hurts so much."

Jia Zhangshi yelled, clutching her hand, like a pig being slaughtered at the village entrance.

The eyes of all the Carpentry workers in the Pliers worker team shifted to Jia Zhangshi.

Even Chen Jianye, who was working, looked over at Jia Zhangshi.

There was no other way; Jia Zhangshi's voice was too loud; no one could ignore her disruption.

"What happened? What happened?"

Wang Lif walked over quickly.

His heart was twitching.

With incidents happening one after another in the team, the pressure on him as Squad Leader was immense.

If anything else happened, he wouldn't need the Workshop Leader to say anything; he would have to resign due to fault.

Resigning was impossible, but the Team Leader position would definitely be untenable.

"Jia Family Sister-in-law was working, and a part pressed on her hand."

Yi Zhonghai explained.

"Oh, Zhang Jie is too careless."

"Master Yi, as the Master, you should keep an eye on her."

Wang Lif breathed a sigh of relief, then complained.

"I..."

Yi Zhonghai had unspeakable difficulties.

How could he have known that Jia Zhangshi could be so foolish?

"Alright, Zhang Jie, stop yelling. If you keep yelling, others will think we're slaughtering a pig."

Wang Lif shouted grumpily.

"I hurt, it hurts."

Jia Zhangshi held her hand, her face full of pain.

"Stretch out your hand, let me see how it's pressed."

Wang Lif said with concern.

Jia Zhangshi tremblingly extended her hand.

Yi Zhonghai and Wang Lif widened their eyes and saw that Jia Zhangshi's palm was indeed pressed, and the most severely injured parts were three fingernails.

They had already turned purple.

"It's not a big deal; no bones or tendons are injured."

Wang Lif said very calmly.

Hearing Jia Zhangshi's screams, he thought something serious had happened.

Now that he looked, it was just a part pressing on her fingernails.

This kind of work injury is very common in the Rolling Mill, especially for Carpentry workers.

They basically all have similar experiences.

Generally speaking, when encountering such an injury, men would endure it and be too embarrassed to speak out.

Speaking out easily makes one seem foolish at work.

"This isn't a big deal?"

"My fingers are crushed."

Jia Zhangshi widened her eyes, her face full of indignation.

"It's really not big. Was it that part that pressed it?"

Wang Lif pointed to the part on the workbench.

"That's right."

Yi Zhonghai nodded.

"Small parts won't crush your fingers; at most, it'll hurt for two days and then be fine."

"Zhang Jie, you need to adapt to the working environment of our Pliers worker team as soon as possible."

Wang Lif's tone carried a hint of complaint.

Why is she yelling about such a small matter?

You scared me.

"What do you mean? Do you think I'm making a mountain out of a molehill?"

"You say it's fine, it's fine. What, are you Hua Tuo? I'm injured, I must go to the hospital for a check-up."

Jia Zhangshi was fuming with anger.

"Then go to the hospital for a check-up. Afterward, bring the receipts, and I'll submit them for reimbursement."

Wang Lif already had displeasure written on his face.

"Ah? You're not paying?"

Jia Zhangshi asked in surprise.

"Of course I'm not paying. Your injury happened at work, so the unit should be responsible."

"If I had to pay out of pocket every time someone got injured, I'd be losing money by coming to work. That's ridiculous, isn't it?"

Wang Lif spread his hands.

"Alright, I'll go to the hospital for a check-up later."

Jia Zhangshi put her hand behind her back.

It did hurt at the moment it was pressed, a piercing pain.

After Wang Lif said that, she indeed felt her finger didn't hurt as much.

"Master Yi, if anything comes up, report it to me."

Wang Lif left a sentence and went to attend to his own business.

"You go to the hospital."

Yi Zhonghai waved his hand at Jia Zhangshi.

It was also good for Jia Zhangshi to go to the hospital; he felt more comfortable not seeing her.

"I'm not going anymore."

Jia Zhangshi plopped down.

"Why aren't you going anymore?"

Yi Zhonghai's mouth twitched a few times.

"I'll try to bear it, endure it, and see if I can get through this work injury."

"It's our first day at work; if we can avoid causing trouble for others, we should."

Jia Zhangshi said with a righteous face.

Yi Zhonghai suspected his ears were malfunctioning.

Is this Jia Zhangshi?

Jia Zhangshi found a corner, leaned against the wall, and started snoring.

She had been dozing off intermittently while listening to Yi Zhonghai explain Carpentry knowledge, and now she could finally get a good nap.

Yi Zhonghai curled his lip.

He quickly understood the reason why Jia Zhangshi wasn't going to the hospital.

Going to the hospital wouldn't bring her any benefits, and she would have to pay out of her own pocket.

This fellow didn't want to spend money on a work injury.

Moreover, it was indeed a very minor issue. Going to the hospital would involve a lot of hassle, only to find nothing serious, and she would still have to report for training tomorrow.

If she didn't go to the hospital, Jia Zhangshi could claim her finger hurt and at least get three to five days off work.

In short, Jia Zhangshi was very enthusiastic about things that brought benefits.

As for things without benefits, she was definitely nowhere to be seen.

Yi Zhonghai sighed, feeling as if he had been blinded by lard; how could he have taken on a disciple like Jia Zhangshi?

Oh, it turned out that Chen Jianye was the one who pushed for it.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai turned to look at Chen Jianye, who was currently working with his head down.

No matter what tool, in Chen Jianye's hands, it was handled expertly.

"Hiss, Chen Jianye probably has the ability to skip a level and test for a Level 3 worker in the November assessment."

Yi Zhonghai had sharp eyes and secretly clicked his tongue.

A wave of regret surged in his heart again.

How good it would have been if he hadn't been too excessive after Lao Chen's death.

About two hours later, after Jia Zhangshi finished her nap in the team, she held her hand and wandered around the various workstations.

She wanted to find the easiest job in the Pliers worker team, then directly push the person out and take over the job herself.

The preferential conditions for Jia to enter the factory for job replacement stated that Jia was allowed to choose a suitable position within the team.

If she didn't take advantage of a good deal, would she still be Jia Zhangshi?

Wandering among the various workstations, Jia Zhangshi asked the workers about the tasks of their positions and what they needed to do.

She secretly kept it in mind.

She wanted to find a job where she could work for half an hour a day and then rest directly.

Such good positions were too few.

Jia Zhangshi circled around but couldn't find a single position that suited her liking.

"Carpentry is indeed a strenuous job; how can I do it?"

"Isn't there a more relaxed position at all? If I can't find one, I can only apply for a transfer."

"Would being an electrician be simpler?"

Jia Zhangshi secretly pondered.

After walking for a while, she came to Chen Jianye's workstation.

Seeing Chen Jianye completely engrossed in Carpentry work, Jia Zhangshi scoffed.

Chen Jianye glanced at her and continued to busy himself with the work in his hands.

At the workplace, he had no time to bother with Jia Zhangshi.

Working hard and gaining experience was the most important thing.
