The Wizard's Journey Begins in a Courtyard House

As Li Qin finished speaking, Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu's expressions changed once again.

Li Qin received another notification that a large amount of emotional power had entered his account, which made his smile even more pronounced.

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu had very mixed feelings.

Leaving aside Yi Zhonghai, Jia Dongxu was filled with mixed feelings at this moment.

In the courtyard house, he had an old master as his mentor, and he was also a regular employee at the steel rolling mill, as well as a beautiful wife.

His wife also gave birth to a smart and healthy son.

Although he was still a junior worker at the steel rolling mill, he received a lot of care because his master, Yi Zhonghai, was a very skilled craftsman.

Overall, he is second to none among the younger generation in the courtyard house, and can even be said to be in a class of his own.

In contrast, Li Qin was at the very bottom of the social hierarchy.

In the past, although he didn't show it on his face, he looked down on Li Qin.

He never expected that, in the blink of an eye, this person he had never taken seriously would turn the tables.

Surprisingly, he successfully got a job at the steel rolling mill and became a worker just like him.

This made Jia Dongxu feel very uncomfortable.

The key issue is that he can't say anything yet; he can only keep it to himself.

With their own thoughts, the three people slowly walked towards the courtyard house.

"By the way, Xiao Li, which department did you join?"

Suddenly, Yi Zhonghai spoke again, a strange light flashing in his eyes, as if he had some kind of plan in mind.

Li Qin was unaware of these things, and he spoke casually;

"I joined the purchasing department of the logistics department."

Purchasing Department!

Jia Dongxu's face, which was already somewhat pale, became even paler at this moment.

You should know that the purchasing department is known for its good benefits, and the key is that you can use your position to improve your family's living conditions.

This was extremely attractive to people of this era.

Unexpectedly, this kid, whom he hadn't even taken seriously that morning, had now joined the purchasing department.

A hint of envy and jealousy flashed in Jia Dongxu's eyes.

When Yi Zhonghai heard that Li Qin had joined the purchasing department, a look of surprise flashed across his face.

However, a strange light flashed in his eyes;

"Purchasing Department? It is indeed a very good department, but Xiao Li, have you ever thought that the Purchasing Department also has a heavy workload?"

If you fail to complete the procurement task, you will not be able to become a permanent employee, and you will only be able to earn an apprentice's salary. How will you support your family then?

Even though you're single now, in a couple of years you'll have to consider finding a partner, getting married, and having children.

Have you thought about how much pressure you'll be under then?

Yi Zhonghai's words were sincere and heartfelt. If Li Qin didn't know Yi Zhonghai's true nature, he would have really thought that the other party was genuinely considering his best interests.

Little did Yi Zhonghai know that he would become a full-time employee immediately after joining the company, and that completing the procurement tasks would be even less of a challenge.

After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, he saw that Li Qin remained silent and assumed that he had been moved by his words, so he spoke again.

"Little Li, I'm an old man with some influence at the steel rolling mill. If you're willing, I can take you to see the leader tomorrow and transfer you from the purchasing department to the fitter's workshop."

You'll learn fitter skills from me. I can't guarantee you'll be a full-fledged employee in a year, but it will definitely be within two years at most.

Then you'll be able to earn the salary of a junior fitter, which is much more stable than working in the purchasing department, and the pressure isn't as high either.

At first, Li Qin was not quite sure what Yi Zhonghai was thinking, but after he said those words...

Yi Zhonghai's intentions are now crystal clear.

They wanted to get him transferred from the purchasing department to the fitter's workshop, and even wanted him to become an apprentice.

If you think about it more deeply, Yi Zhonghai is trying to bring him into his retirement plan.

At this moment, Li Qin really wanted to say, "How can your face be so big?"

To ask him to give up a perfectly good permanent position in the purchasing department and go to the fitter's workshop to be a lackey, is Li Qin out of his mind?

How could I possibly agree?

At that moment, a look of mockery and disdain flashed in Li Qin's eyes.

However, since all three of them were walking forward, none of them saw the expression in his eyes.

While Li Qin was pondering, Jia Dongxu glanced at Yi Zhonghai with a strange look.

Jia Dongxu was never a fool, so he was somewhat aware of some of Yi Zhonghai's thoughts.

Therefore, as soon as Yi Zhonghai uttered those words, he already understood their deeper meaning.

This is to find him a "companion".

Jia Dongxu is very clear that he still needs Yi Zhonghai's care to a large extent.

Only in this way can one gain a foothold in the courtyard house and the steel rolling mill.

The other party is willing to take care of him because he is seen as someone they will care for in their old age.

And it's the only one.

If Yi Zhonghai had another option now, and it was a more suitable option than him, then it would be obvious without even thinking about it.

Yi Zhonghai will definitely give up on him.

Jia Dongxu had only been a disciple of Yi Zhonghai for a short time, so Yi Zhonghai hadn't invested that much in Jia Dongxu yet.

Yi Zhonghai wouldn't regret giving up on Jia Dongxu.

After understanding all this, Jia Dongxu couldn't help but glance at Li Qin.

At this moment, besides jealousy and envy, his eyes also held a deep-seated hostility.

Just like Li Xin's existence, it's as if she'll take away what belongs to him.

Little did Jia Dongxu know that what he cared about was completely unappealing to Li Qin.

As Yi Zhonghai walked forward, he kept glancing at Li Qin out of the corner of his eye.

His eyes were full of anticipation.

He hadn't noticed before that Li Qin, who lived in the back house in the front yard, was actually a more suitable candidate for retirement than Jia Dongxu.

It was only a few days ago, on the morning he met Li Qin, that he suddenly realized this.

That's why I took the initiative to talk to Li Qin.

However, at the time he only had a vague idea and had not thought about it in detail.

After further consideration, she grew to like Li Qin even more.

Yi Zhonghai originally planned to find an opportunity to talk to Li Qin.

If he determines that Li Qin's personality matches his requirements, then he will help Li Qin find a job at the steel rolling mill and become an apprentice...

In this way, Li Qin could be completely controlled and ultimately molded into a form that satisfied him.

Unfortunately, before he could even take action, he discovered that Li Qin had already found a job at the steel rolling mill.

Moreover, it was in the logistics and procurement department.

This was completely beyond his control.

Yi Zhonghai found it hard to accept at first, but he quickly came up with a solution.

That's why I said those things earlier.

According to Yi Zhonghai's plan, he first used the pressure of the purchasing department's tasks to scare Li Qin, and then he personally transferred Li Qin to the fitter's workshop.

In the end, Li Qin will still fall into his hands.

Yi Zhonghai believed that Li Qin might have some understanding of the work of various departments in the steel rolling mill, but definitely not much.

In addition, the purchasing department's workload is indeed quite heavy.

Ultimately, Li Qin will definitely agree to the transfer according to his wishes.

Although the process was somewhat bumpy, the final result was still under his control.
