the next day.

Looking at Yang Anguo limping, Yang Jun asked him to rest for another day.

Today is the day of skills assessment for the whole factory.

As soon as Yang Jun arrived at the office, he called Jiang Haitao over.

He handed him the two registration forms for the literary and art soldiers and asked him to go to the street office to ask Aunt Wang to sign them, and then gave the forms to Qian Duoduo.

Then, he went downstairs with a notebook under his arm.

There were hundreds of cadres and employees gathered downstairs. These people were all supervisors of today's skills assessment. Including Yang Jun, dozens of factory directors, directors, and section chiefs from all sizes in the factory all came out of the workshop.

And a large number of technical personnel were transferred from the technical department to accompany them.

This assessment is different from the past. Each assessment group consists of a four-person joint assessment team consisting of a cadre, a technician, the workshop director and a senior technician with a seventh or eighth grade technician.

In this assessment group, each group is supervised by a cadre. Although it cannot be truly fair and impartial, it can also greatly reduce the phenomenon of favoritism and malpractice.

Due to the heavy workload of the assessment, this assessment was divided into two days.

On the first day, workers in the production workshop were assessed.

The next day, the logistics staff were assessed.

The groups this time were assigned in advance, and there were clear regulations on which cadre should supervise which workshop. Cadres were not allowed to change the assessment workshops at will.

Once it is discovered that there is a problem in that workshop, even the cadres who took the assessment will be severely punished.

Yang Jun, the deputy director of the factory, could not take any time off and was assigned to the first workshop.

This workshop is the model workshop of the steel rolling mill. There is a group of highly skilled technicians gathered here. There are only four or five seventh- and eighth-level technicians, and there are even more third- and fourth-level technicians.

The original uncle Yi Zhonghai worked in this workshop. After he was taken away, the place was taken over by engineer Han Shengli.

The assessment in the first workshop is also divided into assessments for lathes, fitters, forgers, etc. Each assessment group is supervised by the workshop supervisor and professional technicians.

What Yang Jun was supervising today was the fitter assessment. Perhaps because of Yang Jun's identity, workshop director Shao Deming and chief engineer Han Shengli personally accompanied him.

The foursome were also traveling with Xiao Wang from the technical department. Xiao Wang was in his early twenties, had fair skin, wore a pair of glasses, and looked elegant.

Yang Jun saw that everyone was already prepared, so he gave an order and the assessment began.

Yang Jun and chief engineer Han Shengli sat in the middle, while workshop directors Shao Deming and Xiao Wang sat on both sides.

The first person to be assessed was a middle-aged man in his forties. After he came on the stage, he bowed to the four judges and then started to operate.

The workpiece has been rough machined by the lathe, and all he has to do is to fine-machin it.

The task of the fitter is to polish the problems that cannot be solved by the lathe by hand. However, this workpiece is relatively complex and cannot be processed even by the lathe.

I saw him taking a file, holding both ends of the file with both hands, and polishing the parts of the workpiece that needed to be processed.

one time.

Two times.

Three times.

…

It took seven strokes before the workpiece was polished to a qualified size.

"good."

"That's great, Master Yuan."

The onlookers applauded.

Yang Jun flipped through the pieces of paper in front of him and found that Master Yuan was a level five fitter, and now his assessment was to challenge level six workpieces.

Yang Jun doesn't know how to work as a fitter, let alone express his opinions casually.

So I turned my attention to chief engineer Han Shengli and workshop director Shao Deming.

As a professional, Han Shengli went up to look at the workpiece and expressed his opinion first.

"Master Yuan's skills are superb and he is worthy of being a level five fitter. Although the size of the workpiece is up to standard, the finish is not good enough."

Shao Deming, the workshop director, is also a sixth-level veteran fitter. He stepped forward and looked at the workpiece and said,

"General Engineer Han is right, the finish of the workpiece is not that good."

Afterwards, the two of them quietly discussed with Yang Jun and reached a consensus, and then the chief engineer Han Shengli announced the result.

"I declare that Master Yuan failed to advance and is still a level five fitter."

Master Yuan seemed to have known the answer for a long time. After hearing the results announced by Chief Engineer Han, he did not show a pity expression, but silently stepped aside.

Next up was an old man in his fifties.

Looking at his gray hair on his temples, he probably is not far from retirement.

After he came on the stage, he first nodded to the judges, and then picked up a relatively complicated workpiece. He fixed the workpiece on the chopping board, holding a hammer in one hand and a hammer in the other.

Bianzhi placed it on the workpiece and tapped it three times with a hammer.

He put down the hammer, took out the workpiece, and handed it to the judges with both hands.

Yang Jun saw him tapping the workpiece three times and couldn't figure out what he was doing, so he looked at Han Shengli in confusion.

Han Shengli knew that Yang Jun did not understand the benchwork skills, so he was not polite to him. He directly took the workpiece and looked at it carefully.

"Incredible, simply incredible."

Upon hearing this, workshop director Shao Deming also came over.

"I have gained a lot of experience today. I have gained a lot of experience today."

Han Shengli said to Yang Jun with excitement: "Director Yang, congratulations, our steel rolling mill has another eighth-level fitter."

Yang Jun was startled when he heard this.

Level 8 fitter?

Another eighth-level fitter after Yi Zhonghai?

Although Yang Jun didn't know how to make fitters, he still took the workpiece and looked at it. He saw that the place that Bianzhi had looked at was as smooth as a mirror, and the surface was very flat, as if it were made naturally.

Yang Jun bent down to compare the unprocessed workpieces again, and found that the surfaces of those workpieces were rough and not as delicate as those processed by the old master.

Stroking the smooth surface of the workpiece with his hand, I have to admit that the skills of the fitter master in front of me are indeed superb.

"Master, what's your name?" Yang Jun walked over.

The old man was very plain, as if being promoted to level eight fitter didn't move him. He said calmly,

"Director Yang, my name is Geng Zhi, and everyone calls me Lao Geng."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Master Geng, today is really an eye-opener. You let me see what a real fitter is. Looking at the workpieces you process, it feels like carving each piece of handicraft."

, It’s refreshing, but..."

When Yang Jun said this, he paused for a moment, then thought for a moment and continued,

"However, I can't announce your promotion to the eighth-level fitter yet. This matter will have to be discussed at a special meeting later to make a final decision. But don't worry, our steel rolling mill will never bury real talents."

It's not that Yang Jun didn't want to announce on the spot that he had been promoted to level eight fitter. The factory has clear regulations on this matter. Promotion assessments such as level eight technicians and engineers must go through a meeting and discussion, and then a group of professionals will be organized to assess him repeatedly.

Only those who have passed multiple assessments can become level eight technicians.

Lao Geng didn't seem disappointed. He was very familiar with the assessment system in the factory, and he also knew that he could not be promoted to level eight fitter based on this assessment alone.

"Thank you, Director Yang. I, Lao Geng, am waiting for your good news."

After Lao Geng finished speaking, he quietly stepped aside and handed over the competition venue to others.

The assessment is still in progress.

Some people were promoted successfully, while others failed the assessment. For those who failed, the factory decided to give them another chance. If they still failed, they had to be demoted.

To Yang Jun's surprise, he discovered that there were several employees who were fishing in troubled waters. They were obviously Level 4 fitters, but when they were evaluated, they found that they did not even meet the standards for Level 2 workers.

After giving them a chance, they still could not fall below the standard. After some discussion, they immediately downgraded him and set his treatment to the standard of a second-level worker.

The game continues.

Two hours have passed.

Some are happy and some are sad.

Yang Jun looked at his watch. It was still some time before lunch, so he had to read on patiently.

At this time, he felt someone touching him lightly behind him.

He looked back.

Qin Huairu, wearing a floral cotton suit, stood behind him handsomely.

She was smiling, pursed her lips, and had a begging look in her eyes.

She was so close that Yang Jun could smell her body fragrance.

Only then did Yang Jun remember that Qin Huairu was also in this workshop. She used to work under Yi Zhonghai, but now that Yi Zhonghai is gone, there is no one to protect her.
