Chapter 500: The Myriad Faces of Life in a Courtyard House
After having a meal in the suitcase space and resting enough, Li Qin returned to the steel rolling mill.
He had basically finished all the necessary tasks, so he no longer needed to go to the examination hall.
Li Qin spent the entire afternoon slacking off in the purchasing department.
Although the performance evaluation is a major event for the steel rolling mill, few of the purchasing department colleagues came back.
They all went out to buy supplies.
After all, purchasing staff in the purchasing department don't need to take assessments.
Instead of wasting time coming back to check employee performance evaluations, we should visit more places and see if we can procure more supplies.
After all, this directly affects the purchasing staff's performance.
That's why, besides Li Qin, there's only Chang Xia in the purchasing department.
The two, having nothing else to do, ended up getting together;
Li Qin provided melon seeds, while Chang Xia provided gossip about the steel rolling mill.
Through Chang Xia, Li Qin also learned a lot of information he didn't know before. Although they were all small things, they were perfect for passing the time.
Time flies, and it's almost time to get off work.
"Sister Xia, I'll be going now."
Li Qin greeted Chang Xia and then prepared to return to the courtyard house.
Chang Xia waved her hand casually upon hearing Li Qin's words;
"You can go now, I'll have to wait a while before I can leave."
Li Qin nodded upon seeing this, and then left the purchasing department.
After leaving the steel mill on his bicycle, Li Qin did not go straight back to the courtyard house, but instead chose to go to the vegetable market first.
Although it was already afternoon, the market was still crowded.
Li Qin bought some groceries and rode his bicycle back home.
"Today is the last day of the assessment. Most of the residents in the courtyard house did quite well, so I believe they will prepare some delicious food to celebrate."
Thinking of this, a mischievous smile immediately appeared on Li Qin's lips.
Although Li Qin didn't have any ill intentions towards most of the residents of the courtyard house, he couldn't stand Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong.
If it were in the past, Li Qin would definitely have prepared a lavish feast and then given the people in the courtyard a good jolt.
Help them come to their senses.
But Li Qin had already intervened to stop Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong's assessment today, and was in a very good mood, so he decided to be merciful and do a good deed today.
I won't go through the motions of treating these people with a big meal.
So he just bought some common vegetables and went home.
Of course, this is only the surface situation.
In fact, Li Qin has been eating and drinking almost entirely supplies produced by the space since a very long time ago.
As for the items bought from the market, they were only meant to mislead the residents of the courtyard house and also served as a disguise.
In a courtyard house with many people and many eyes, if Li Qin doesn't buy vegetables but still has fresh vegetables to eat every day, it will definitely arouse suspicion over time.
Therefore, it is very necessary to go to the farmers' market to buy groceries from time to time.
Of course, almost all the vegetables he bought were eventually stored in Li Qin's spatial storage and then processed into feed for poultry and livestock.
Upon returning to the courtyard house, Li Qin immediately sensed a change in the atmosphere.
Most people had smiles on their faces.
Li Qin took a closer look and immediately realized that all those smiling faces had family members working at the steel rolling mill.
And the results of this grading assessment were quite good.
Li Qin understood after a moment's thought.
Previously, the employees of the steel rolling mill were only divided into a few levels;
Temporary worker, then junior worker after becoming a permanent employee, intermediate worker, and then senior worker.
Because the classification is rather vague, it is very difficult to advance from a low level to an intermediate level, or from an intermediate level to an advanced level.
Therefore, many people work for several years without ever getting a raise.
Now that the eight-level worker system has been implemented, this situation has changed significantly.
The employees are divided into detailed levels, and the wages for each level are different.
The most direct comparison is that the original low-level workers only earned a little over thirty yuan a month.
While the wages for level one and level two workers are still around 30,000 yuan, the wage for level two workers has reached 38.5 yuan.
yuan.
This is five yuan more than a first-class worker.
This is no small amount for an average family.
As for those promoted to intermediate level, which is level three or above, the salary gap becomes even larger.
Most of the people in the courtyard who worked at the steel rolling mill received higher salaries after their performance evaluations and grading, so they were naturally very happy.
Li Qin slowed down slightly as he passed through the Intermediate People's Court.
He first looked in the direction of the Jia family's residence.
Sure enough, cheerful laughter could be heard coming from the Jia family.
Jia Zhangshi's loud laughter was even more noticeable.
It seems that the Jia family is quite satisfied with the results of Jia Dongxu's performance evaluation.
Then Li Qin turned his gaze to He Yuzhu's house diagonally across the street.
Compared to the cheerful atmosphere at other homes, the atmosphere at He Yuzhu's home was rather somber.
Li Qin even saw He Yuzhu sitting at home with a gloomy expression, smoking and drinking alone.
Needless to say, He Yuzhu still cannot accept the result of failing the Level 7 chef assessment.
Besides feeling unwilling, He Yuzhu was also filled with doubts and confusion.
He was confident in his cooking skills and had no problems when he cooked.
The food they made was simply inedible.
He Yuzhu's face darkened even more when he heard the cheerful laughter coming from the Jia family across the street.
He Yuzhu was already somewhat resentful of Jia Dongxu.
Especially after the other party married Qin Huairu, He Yuzhu was even more unwilling to be outdone by Jia Dongxu.
As for the reason, only He Yuzhu himself knows.
I originally thought that Jia Dongxu would at most pass the Level 1 worker exam this time, while I would pass the Level 7 chef exam.
Then I can outdo the other party and show off in front of Qin Huairu.
The result was that he only obtained the eighth-level chef qualification, while Jia Dongxu passed the second-level worker qualification.
Instead, they surpassed him.
He Yuzhu felt extremely distressed.
Li Qin felt no remorse for interfering with He Yuzhu's assessment; on the contrary, he felt he had been quite merciful.
At least Li Qin helped He Yuzhu pass the level eight chef assessment.
They didn't drive him away completely.
Finally, Li Qin's gaze fell upon Yi Zhonghai's house.
Through the window, Li Qin could see that Yi Zhonghai was sitting at the table smoking.
Logically speaking, Yi Zhonghai passing the Level 6 assessment should be a joyous occasion, and he should be very happy now.
However, there was no smile on Yi Zhonghai's face; on the contrary, he exuded a repressed aura.
When Yi Zhonghai came home from get off work, the older woman was overjoyed to hear from him that she had passed the Level 6 exam.
They were even thinking of cooking a couple of nice dishes to celebrate.
But to her surprise, Yi Zhonghai showed no joy whatsoever and even scolded her.
Although the older woman didn't quite understand, she knew that Yi Zhonghai was in a bad mood.
An older woman wanted to comfort Yi Zhonghai, but he wouldn't explain why, so she didn't know where to begin and could only quietly stay by his side.
