Chapter 21 Section 14

The return to work went smoother than I had imagined.It turned out that I was worried that during the vacation, I would distance myself from others in terms of technical ability, but unexpectedly found that I did not.I'm both delighted and surprised by this.What the hell were you doing while I was in the hospital?The factory took over the repair work of the latest machines, but no one was willing to do it, because there was no instruction manual, and it was scary, complicated, time-consuming and labor-intensive work.I remember that I was also hesitant about this equipment before, but I didn’t expect that everyone would be the same as me at that time.

"It would be faster to replace all the internal parts. This kind of machine rarely comes in, and it's too ridiculous to learn from scratch just for this one." I like to do jobs that can be done without thinking about them according to the same method. The squad leader felt that this was always wrong, but he didn't say it.As soon as I gritted my teeth, I proposed to take over that job, saying that without challenging unfamiliar machines, our work level cannot be improved.The squad leader agreed to my request with surprise and joy. Looking at the workshop again, I found that there are many unreasonable places around me, such as many redundant parts in the operating procedures, the waiting time of workers-that is, the time of doing nothing is too long, and so on.I submitted the useless work I noticed as an improvement proposal. The improvement proposal is a kind of factory reward system. There are bonuses for excellent projects, but recently no one has participated.I haven't written a plan for a long time, and I don't know why I let go of so many unreasonable things before.I put forward more than 20 proposals within a week, and also submitted an experimental research report. When the monitor saw these, his eyes widened.It is not a bad thing for front-line employees to write research reports, which is at least a kind of awareness reform for everyone.

In short, there are too many low-energy and boring people.To say that they are diligent is just because they cannot allocate time reasonably; to say that they are active is just to avoid other difficult tasks.Even if work is just a means of survival, I haven't seen any hobbies or specialties that they can show.I am really disappointed every day. Just when the disappointment reached its peak, Kasai and the others asked me to have a drink.I wanted to refuse, but they said it was to congratulate me on my recovery, so it was hard to refuse. It takes about ten minutes to walk from the factory to the tavern. The store is very small and can only accommodate a dozen people. After we entered, the store was almost full.Kasai and I sat around the table.

"Anyway, I was really involved in a super incident. I was hit on the head, and I get goosebumps just thinking about it! No matter what, it's the head, and most people think it's hopeless." After drinking a glass of wine, he moistened his throat , Kasai said in an exaggerated tone.The people around also nodded in agreement. "Speaking of which, it's indeed Ah Chun." The elder Shibata said with deep emotion, "He didn't act recklessly, he was shot because he wanted to save the little girl. There are not many people with such backbone." What nonsense!I feel my stomach cramp.The situation at the time had nothing to do with the backbone.In the past, I respected Shibata and thought he was a sensible person, but now it seems that he is just a mortal who is out of date and doesn't know how to pretend to understand.

"If it happened to me, it would be like this." Norio Yabe, who looks like a monkey and speaks frivolously, curled his neck and hugged his head tightly, "I will lie on the ground and pray to God, Buddha, God , as long as it can save my life, please pray, as long as I can save my life, it doesn't matter who else dies." I — laughing with the crowd — wondered what this man was afraid of.Practicing his attitude of making everyone laugh, his humble eyes, he was obviously afraid of something. No, it's not just Yabe, it can be said that everyone around me is the same.What are they afraid of?

Finally, I was done talking about my topic, and the conversation turned to work, but it was all low-level, undeveloped conversation.I didn't participate in the discussion, just sipped the scotch.I haven't touched alcohol for a long time, and I feel drunk suddenly, my body seems to be floating, and my eyes are hot. "You seem to have handed in the report again today?" The one who suddenly appeared next to me was Sakai who had been sitting in the distance just now.He is tall, with a face like a skeleton, and entered the factory two years earlier than me.It was the first time he spoke to me since I got back to work. "It's really hard work; don't hold on just because you're on vacation."

"I didn't hold back, but I just wanted to do what I could." "Try to do what you can, what should we do?" Sakai smiled happily, but his face just turned crooked, "Maybe you have too much energy from recuperation, but you also have to consider the people around you. " "Are you letting me stand by?" "I didn't say that, it's to let you cater to the beat!" "To cater to you, Sakai," I caught his gaze, "isn't it just standing by and doing nothing?" As soon as the words fell, Sakai grabbed my collar. "Stop!" Shida intervened to persuade the fight.

Sakai gritted his teeth: "Don't get carried away just because everyone is holding you up!" "Calm down!" Shiba urged Sakai to another table while persuading him.Sakai's anger seemed to have not subsided, and he squinted at me for a while. "It's a bit too much." Kasai poured me wine. I drank it all in one gulp. "He's jealous!" "Jealousy?" "Yes, leave him alone." Hearing what I said, timidity appeared in Kasai's eyes again. Don't be afraid of Sakai.He is just an ordinary weakling.There are not a few people who see others doing things that they cannot do, and feel frustrated that if they have the opportunity, they can do it themselves.They may be thinking that it's just that they didn't meet robbers in the real estate company.Such vulgar people may still be jealous of the fact that the first brain transplant was performed.

I feel very happy, and I have never felt that wine is so delicious.My head was hot and my body was light. I seemed to be a little drunk, and my consciousness gradually became blurred.
