Siheyuan: I just came across and wanted to chase me away

Chapter 833 Give another chance

Gu Nan actually wanted this effect. Seeing Yi Zhonghai's anxious look, he was secretly satisfied. He looked at Yi Zhonghai, paused and said, "It just so happens that this assessment is about to end. How about this, you can take a make-up exam at the last minute. I hope you can seize this opportunity."

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai nodded quickly and said gratefully: "Thank you, Deputy Director Gu, I will definitely seize the opportunity." After that, he turned and walked aside.

At this time, Qin Huairu noticed that the situation on Yi Zhonghai's side seemed to have changed, but she didn't know what had happened. She walked over curiously and asked expectantly, "Uncle Yi, how are you? Are you now a level 8 fitter?"

Yi Zhonghai was furious at the moment. He looked at Qin Huairu unhappily and said, "I don't know what happened. I was confused just now and didn't perform well. But I didn't expect Gu Nan to be so easy to talk to. He actually agreed to give me another chance."

Although Qin Huairu didn't quite understand the whole story, she still smiled and comforted him, "Uncle Yi, don't worry. I absolutely believe in your ability. With your skills, you will definitely be able to become an eighth-level fitter by then."

Although Yi Zhonghai was still a little depressed, he couldn't say anything. He found a place to sit down and rest, secretly encouraging himself. After all, this was his last chance. If he failed again, he would only be a third-level fitter, which was absolutely unacceptable to him, who always had a high opinion of himself.

As the intense benchwork competition officially concluded, the atmosphere in the workshop became somewhat tense. Yi Zhonghai was the only contestant left with one last chance. All of this was meticulously planned by Gu Nan, whose goal was clear: to embarrass Yi Zhonghai in front of everyone.

Gu Nan glanced at the judges around him, with a half-smile on his face, and slowly said, "Everyone, let's give Yi Zhonghai another chance. To be honest, I didn't expect Yi Zhonghai to be just a third-level fitter. This level is really beyond my expectations."

Ma Jiefang, who was standing by, knew very well that there had been a long-standing grudge between Gu Nan and Yi Zhonghai. He really didn't understand why Gu Nan, who was so hostile to Yi Zhonghai, would give him this chance? Ma Jiefang looked at Gu Nan with a puzzled look and couldn't help asking, "Xiao Gu, I know a little about what happened between you and Yi Zhonghai, but why did you give him a chance?"

Gu Nan glanced at Ma Jiefang, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, a sly look flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Master, please don't ask so many questions. You should go and call Yi Zhonghai in. It's a good opportunity for us to see together what Yi Zhonghai's current technical level is. Who knows, there might be a surprise."

Ma Jiefang was still a little puzzled after hearing what Gu Nan said, but he couldn't ask any more questions. He shook his head helplessly and walked out of the room.

Arriving outside the workshop, Ma Jiefang saw Yi Zhonghai pacing back and forth anxiously, his eyes revealing a hint of nervousness and anticipation. Ma Jiefang walked over to Yi Zhonghai, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Master Yi, this is an opportunity given to you by Deputy Director Gu. He's making a special exception, so you must seize it. This opportunity is rare, and if you miss it now, there won't be another time."

After hearing what Ma Jiefang said, Yi Zhonghai's eyes flashed with surprise, and he nodded quickly and said: "Master Ma, don't worry, I will not let Deputy Director Gu down, and I will definitely perform well." However, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, wondering what Gu Nan was up to this time.

Yi Zhonghai took a deep breath, nodded slightly, and then walked into the competition venue with a slightly heavy step. He looked around and saw that the venue was densely packed with people. This scene made him feel a little nervous. But when his eyes fell on the familiar machine, he felt a surge of confidence. After all, he had been immersed in the locksmithing technology for many years and had rich experience. He still had full confidence in his skills.

Yi Zhonghai slowly walked to the front of the machine, his eyes instantly becoming focused. Meanwhile, Gu Nan stood aside, motioning everyone present to gather around and watch, secretly anticipating the moment when Yi Zhonghai would make a fool of himself.

Yi Zhonghai skillfully operated the machine, but for some reason, he felt something was amiss. His previously skillful techniques were no longer working to their full potential. After the competition, he was assessed as only a third-level fitter.

Yi Zhonghai's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the machine in front of him and exclaimed, "Impossible! How could I be just a level three fitter? Everyone in the entire steel mill knows my abilities. I should be at least a level six fitter! There must be something wrong."

Gu Nan looked at Yi Zhonghai's anxious expression and wanted to laugh, but he shook his head in a serious tone and said, "Master Yi, you have to face the reality. There are so many eyes watching us here, and the facts are right in front of us. Okay, let's go down first."

Yi Zhonghai was burning with anger. He wanted to lose his temper, but seeing so many people around him, he couldn't do it. He could only suppress his anger and turned around and left the venue angrily.

Gu Nan turned to look at Ma Jiefang and said, "Master, please write down Yi Zhonghai's performance today in detail. Then we can criticize him at the steel mill so that everyone can learn from it." Ma Jiefang nodded, picked up the notebook and wrote it down carefully.

Yi Zhonghai was truly filled with regret. He couldn't understand why he, clearly a level 7 machinist, could only perform at the level of a level 3 machinist today. He even suspected Gu Nan was behind this, but upon closer inspection, he felt he might be overthinking it. After all, he and Gu Nan didn't interact much on a daily basis, so what could he possibly accomplish?

At this time, Qin Huairu came over. Since outsiders were not allowed to enter this competition, she had been waiting outside. Seeing Yi Zhonghai coming out, she hurried to greet him and asked, "Uncle Yi, what's going on?"

Yi Zhonghai was dejected and told others with a look of regret that he was now rated as a third-level fitter.

Qin Huairu was also incredulous after hearing this. She looked at Yi Zhonghai and said, "Uncle Yi, how is that possible? Even if you're not a level eight fitter, you're at least a level seven fitter. What's going on with this level three fitter? Is there something wrong with the assessment?"
