Promotion to Engineer, Jia Dongxu Has an Accident

"Today, I want to give special recognition to our factory's model worker, the all-around talent, Comrade Lin Zhen."

"Because in just six short years, he has raised his fitter, forging, welding, and sheet metal skills to Level 8. After deliberation by the organization, it has been decided to promote him exceptionally to a Level 9 engineer."

"We hope Comrade Lin Zhen will remain humble and continue to contribute to our nation's great construction. Let's give him a round of applause!"

Clap clap clap~

"Congratulations, Master Lin!"

"Truly a rare talent, congratulations, congratulations!"

"Treat us to dinner tonight!"

"Hahaha... Thank you, thank you, I definitely will!"

Inside the production workshop of the steel rolling mill.

Director Yang personally convened the morning commendation meeting.

Lin Zhen was currently a hot commodity in the factory, a talented worker.

This was actually all thanks to his Ten Thousand Times Experience Acceleration System.

Six years ago, he had transmigrated into this world of "Love Full Courtyard."

He carried with him a golden finger that could accelerate the acquisition of various experiences.

The acceleration could be freely controlled from one time to ten thousand times.

Not just production skills.

Public speaking, physical techniques, medical skills, culinary arts, knowledge, and more could all be accelerated.

The level division for engineers was the opposite of trades.

Trades were lowest at Level 1, while engineers were highest at Level 1.

Although Lin Zhen had only reached Level 9 engineer, still far from Level 1.

His monthly salary had already been increased to 126.5 yuan.

This was even higher than the workshop director's salary.

Lin Zhen didn't want to be too much in the spotlight, otherwise, he could have been promoted to engineer two years ago.

At this moment, everyone in the workshop was happy for Lin Zhen.

Two people, however, wore smiles while their hearts seethed with hatred.

One was the Level 8 fitter, Yi Zhonghai.

The other was the Level 1 fitter, Jia Dongxu.

They were both Lin Zhen's neighbors in the Siheyuan.

Among them, Yi Zhonghai was the one in charge. There were three elders living in the courtyard.

In terms of prestige, Yi Zhonghai ranked first.

When Lin Zhen had first transmigrated.

The system had assigned him the identity of an apprentice from the countryside.

Yi Zhonghai was his master.

Jia Dongxu was his senior brother.

Yi Zhonghai's wife was infertile, and they had no children their entire lives. When they grew old, they would lack someone to attend to them on their sickbed.

He had once probed Lin Zhen's personality, wanting him to help him in his old age and see him off.

Lin Zhen, being familiar with the plot, naturally wouldn't be a fool.

He directly confronted Yi Zhonghai, stating that if he wasn't his biological father, he wouldn't support him.

From then on, Yi Zhonghai appeared amiable on the surface, but in his heart, he had always resented Lin Zhen for his heartlessness.

He didn't teach Lin Zhen any fitter skills at all, teaching everything to Jia Dongxu.

But Jia Dongxu was disappointing, only getting promoted to Level 1 fitter in six years.

Whereas Lin Zhen was a genius.

No matter what job it was, he could familiarize himself with it in minutes and master it in days.

After six years, his trade skills far surpassed his former master, Yi Zhonghai.

Lin Zhen had become a key training target for the factory.

After this promotion to engineer, he had even become a training target for the district.

Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu couldn't help but feel envious, jealous, and hateful.

Yi Zhonghai began to muse to himself.

If only he hadn't spoken so bluntly back then, and hadn't acted so ruthlessly later.

Perhaps Lin Zhen wouldn't have become so distant from him.

Sigh!

I made a wrong move!

Why did I put all my hopes on Jia Dongxu?

This blockhead only reached Level 1 fitter in six years. Relying on him for my old age?

Sigh!

It's a bit uncertain.

Jia Dongxu felt even more dejected.

He and Lin Zhen got married in the same year.

At that time, he even mocked Lin Zhen for marrying Lou Xiao'e, whose background wasn't from a good family.

Now it seemed that in the entire Siheyuan, only Lin Zhen was living well.

Lou Xiao'e gave Lin Zhen a pair of twin sons in their first year of marriage.

Two years later, she had another pair of twin sons.

Now Lin Zhen's four sons were practically the overlords of the courtyard, constantly beating up his son, Bang Geng.

And Lou Xiao'e's capitalist parents had immediately gone abroad after Lin Zhen's marriage.

Lou Xiao'e severed ties with her parents and even wrote a stern statement.

Now she was living with Lin Zhen, a worker from a poor peasant background.

Instead, she had become a positive example of repentance praised by the neighborhood committee.

Lin Zhen's career was also flourishing, achieving success in both his career and family life.

Seeing his former junior brother surpass him in every aspect made Jia Dongxu feel incredibly stifled.

The more Jia Dongxu thought about it, the angrier he became.

The more he thought, the less he understood why Lin Zhen was living so well.

Why was he the one being recognized by the whole factory, not himself?

Jia Dongxu would sometimes lower his head in a daze, and sometimes mutter curses under his breath.

He wandered around in a daze, as if he were having a fit.

Only thinking about envying Lin Zhen, he naturally neglected his work.

Less than an hour after starting work.

Suddenly, a loud bang echoed.

Jia Dongxu let out a scream and collapsed at his workstation.

Because he was distracted by work, he didn't check properly while hoisting the steel.

This caused the steel beam to collapse, directly crushing Jia Dongxu's waist.

Jia Dongxu fainted from the pain on the spot.

Lin Zhen, who was guiding the process in the workshop, couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this.

What was bound to happen was bound to happen.

This Jia Dongxu was surrounded by malevolent energy; he couldn't escape this calamity!

It seemed the celebration banquet tonight could be canceled.

Who knew, this kid might meet the King of Hell today!

People in the workshop rushed to carry Jia Dongxu to the infirmary.

As a result, the doctor touched Jia Dongxu's waist and repeatedly shook his head and sighed.

"No, his waist is broken. I don't know if there's any internal organ damage or internal bleeding. We need to transfer him to a big hospital immediately!"

Everyone was shocked and quickly found a car to send him to a large hospital.

Especially First Uncle Yi Zhonghai, his eyes were red with anxiety.

If you said he cared about Jia Dongxu, his face showed more anger.

You could say he was angry that Jia Dongxu was useless and got injured, but among the people in the workshop, he was the most anxious.

Only Lin Zhen understood the reason behind this.

Yi Zhonghai was anxious because the person he relied on for his old age was gone, not because he truly cared for Jia Dongxu.

On the contrary, he was angry that Jia Dongxu was incompetent and always caused trouble.

Why get such a fatal injury?

If he died, Would you be taking me to my funeral, or would I be taking you to yours!

Jia Dongxu was quickly rushed into the emergency room of the big hospital.

News of this spread to the Siheyuan.

Jia Zhangshi immediately started wailing on the ground.

Qin Huairu held Bang Geng with her left hand and Xiao Dang with her right.

With her pregnant belly, she cried while trying to console her mother-in-law, Jia Zhangshi.

"Mom, stop crying, let's hurry to the hospital!"

"Oh, my heavens, Dongxu~ you must hold on!"

The people in the Siheyuan also chimed in with their advice.

First Aunt said, "Old sister, leave Bang Geng and Xiao Dang at my place, you two hurry to the hospital."

Silly Zhu said, "Aunt Jia, don't cry, hurry up and go. I'll find a cart to push you there!"

"I don't want you to take me! You ill-intentioned bachelor! Stay away from my house!"

"Hey! You old woman, fine! So I was being nosy, alright?"

Silly Zhu turned and walked away.

Qin Huairu quickly shouted, "Silly Zhu! It's not the time to argue with an elder, hurry and find a cart!"

Jia Zhangshi got angry and turned to slap Qin Huairu.

"My son isn't dead yet, and you unvirtuous thing is already preparing to find another man! I'm not riding Silly Zhu's cart, I'll walk there myself!"

Qin Huairu, covering her face, cried, "Mom, please stop making trouble. The baby in my belly is about to be born, and if I run to the hospital with you, I'll have a premature birth. At this critical juncture, only Silly Zhu can help us. Are you going to ask that Lin guy for help?"

Jia Zhangshi thought about it and felt even angrier.

"That Lin guy is even worse! Then let Silly Zhu push us there!"
