Siheyuan: Forced to exchange rooms with Qin Huairu at the beginning

The next day, morning.

Zhang Zhiqiang is in very good spirits. The newly bought bed is indeed different and relieves his fatigue. I just don't know if it is a psychological effect.

Zhang Zhiqiang was a little excited when he woke up. Today was Thursday, the day he could sign in, and he didn't know what good things would appear in the system.

"System! Sign in."

Zhang Zhiqiang muttered to himself.

"Ding! The host can choose to sign in normally or sign in for a reward pool upgrade with V50 yuan."

The mechanical voice of the system sounded in Zhang Zhiqiang's mind.

Zhang Zhiqiang now has 100 yuan on him, plus another 100 yuan from the system novice gift pack. Now Zhang Zhiqiang has a total of more than 200 yuan, which is enough to cover the expenses of drawing a prize once.

"Use fifty yuan to sign in for the prize pool upgrade."

Zhang Zhiqiang made a decision that money should be spent.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Tai Chi (beginner's guide), a bad luck charm, and three mousetraps."

As the system's voice fell, fifty yuan was directly reduced in Zhang Zhiqiang's system.

Zhang Zhiqiang felt a sharp pain in the head and a strange picture emerged in his mind. At this moment, Zhang Zhiqiang seemed to have been immersed in Tai Chi for many years.

This Tai Chi is not the kind used to strengthen the body now, but a kind of boxing and kicking kung fu that can be used in combat. A set of mental formulas also appeared in Zhang Zhiqiang's mind.

Taiji is the origin of Wuji, the origin of movement, and the mother of yin and yang. Yin is inseparable from yang, yang is inseparable from yin, yin and yang complement each other, and both reach the divine sound. When the mind is calm and the body is upright, the qi can also flow, opening and harmonizing the emptiness and the fullness, unifying the inside and the outside, moving the soft to become hard, using both hardness and softness, and being able to act freely when still.

Although he was just a beginner, Zhang Zhiqiang felt that he could still deal with three or five big men. This was what Zhang Zhiqiang urgently needed now. After all, Sha Zhu in the courtyard was a threat after all.

Zhang Zhiqiang is going to work today. If I remember correctly, today is the day for the steel rolling mill assessment, and Zhang Zhiqiang is also preparing to participate. He has not practiced since he obtained the fifth-level benchwork proficiency.

After all, locksmith skills are something that only the hands have, and Zhang Zhiqiang was not sure whether he could pass the test. However, this was a good opportunity, so he might as well take the test, just in case he passed it.

Zhang Zhiqiang did not waste the three mousetraps and placed them in the cupboard where meat was kept. It was common for mice to destroy food at home nowadays.

In the past, Zhang Zhiqiang had a hard time. When mice came, he would cry and leave...

Afterwards, Zhang Zhiqiang washed up and trotted towards the steel rolling mill, treating it as exercise.

…………

"Hey, Zhang Zhiqiang, why are you here so early? Why don't you take a few more days off?"

Director Li inspected the workshop as usual in the morning. As soon as he arrived at Workshop No. 11, he saw Zhang Zhiqiang fiddling with tools and talking to his fellow workers. He had not yet started work and was just doing some preparatory work.

Since taking over his mother's job, Zhang Zhiqiang has been ambitious and hard-working. At such a young age, he progressed from an apprentice to a fourth-level fitter, which is admirable.

Several co-workers who are on good terms with Zhang Zhiqiang are also ambitious people. Now they are asking why Zhang Zhiqiang hasn't come in the past few days and whether he went on a blind date.

"Director Li, I am fine now and can come back to work."

Zhang Zhiqiang patted his chest to indicate that he had fully recovered.

"Okay, work hard when you come back. I'm counting on you."

Director Li was also very fond of this motivated young man. He gave him a word of encouragement and prepared to leave.

"Director Li, wait a moment."

Zhang Zhiqiang quickly stopped Director Li.

"Today is the day for the assessment. I want to take the level 5 benchwork assessment."

Zhang Zhiqiang said seriously that he had just confirmed with his co-workers that today was the day for the assessment. One of his co-workers was going to take the assessment for level three fitter and had already signed up yesterday.

"What? Level 5 fitter assessment?"

Director Li was shocked by Zhang Zhiqiang’s words.

You should know that a level five fitter is different from a level four fitter. With level five fitter skills, you can be a deputy team leader in a workshop, which means you are a backbone member of the factory.

"Yes, Director Li."

Zhang Zhiqiang confirmed.

"Why don't you wait until next time? You have good talent, work hard, and are diligent. I think you can pass the level 5 fitter test next time."

Director Li gave some advice, saying that Zhang Zhiqiang hadn't touched the machine for many days, and he really didn't think highly of Zhang Zhiqiang.

The next time will be in half a year. Level 6 fitters and below will be assessed every six months. As for senior workers above level 6, it depends on the situation. After all, the rules are fixed.

"Yes, Qiangzi, it's already amazing that you have reached the fourth level of fitter at your age. Why don't you wait until next time?"

"Yes, yes, the fifth-level fitter test is very difficult."

……

Fellow workers also tried to persuade Zhang Zhiqiang, not out of jealousy, but simply out of concern for him.

"I think I should be fine."

Zhang Zhiqiang looked at Director Li seriously. In fact, he was only half sure. After all, theory and practice were two different things. But now the arrow was on the string and had to be shot.

"Okay, I'll report it to you then."

Director Li nodded when he saw Zhang Zhiqiang was so confident. If Zhang Zhiqiang could really pass the exam, he would be the youngest level five fitter in the factory, and he would be proud of it.

Not long after, the assessors were notified to go to the designated workshop. Zhang Zhiqiang and his co-worker Wan Heng, who was taking the third-level fitter exam, went there together. The two had a very good relationship in private.

"Qiangzi, you are amazing. We entered the factory together, and I only passed the third-level fitter exam, while you have already passed the fifth-level fitter exam."

Wan Heng sighed on the way.

"Haha, there's nothing I can do. I'm naturally talented. It's unlikely that you'll be as good as me."

Zhang Zhi emphasized that given their relationship, it was harmless to make such jokes.

"Tsk, don't be so complacent. You will definitely fail this test."

Wan Heng was so angry that he jumped up and hit Zhang Zhiqiang.

……

The assessment workshops for level 3 and level 5 fitters are not in the same workshop, but are not far away.

"Come on Qiangzi."

When they parted, Wan Heng looked at Zhang Zhiqiang seriously and said something, which was his wish for his brother.

"You should try your best too. You will definitely pass the test."

Zhang Zhiqiang also gave his blessing, saying that Wan Heng had a good foundation and he would give him special training, so he would be able to pass if nothing unexpected happened.

There were not many people taking the assessment for level five fitter, and soon it was Zhang Zhiqiang's turn.

The person in charge of Zhang Zhiqiang's assessment was a veteran worker with half-white hair, and he was one of the best seventh-level fitters in the factory.

Interestingly, the master’s name is Zhang Qiang, which is only one character different from Zhang Zhiqiang.

"So young!"

Master Zhang looked at Zhang Zhiqiang in surprise. Those who were assessed as level five fitters were usually middle-aged, and this was the first time that a young man like Zhang Zhiqiang had appeared.

"Haha, Master Zhang, you have to pay close attention. Young Master Zhang is confident that he can pass the test today."

A voice sounded behind Zhang Zhiqiang.

"Director Li."

"Director Li."

Zhang Qiang and Zhang Zhiqiang greeted Director Li who suddenly came over.

"Well, I don't have anything to do, so I came over to take a look. You guys should take the assessment."

Director Li waved his hand. He was sitting in the office feeling itchy, so he decided to come over to see if Zhang Zhiqiang could pass the assessment.
