Chapter 22 Section 15

When I woke up, I saw the ceiling, the old ceiling.I knew right away that this was not my room.I looked up and found myself lying on the tatami in the clothes I had left the factory yesterday. "Oh, oh, you are awake." When I heard the sound, I turned my head and saw Saburo Kasai was brushing his teeth.It seems that in his house, it is actually a luxurious two-bedroom apartment.I stood up slowly with a splitting headache, probably from a hangover.My stomach was bloated, my face was hot, and there seemed to be a lump under my left eye.Look at the alarm clock on the table, it's past seven o'clock.Kasai Kugai was also getting ready to go to work.

"What happened after yesterday?" Kasai came over while wiping his face with a towel: "You really don't remember?" "I don't remember at all." Ge Xi scratched his head in embarrassment: "Go take a shower first, it was too hot last night." "Well, good." I rubbed my neck and was about to enter the bathroom when I suddenly saw the mirror in front of me and couldn't help but be surprised.The left side of my cheek was swollen and there was some blackness under the eyes. "What's going on?" I asked, pointing to the mirror.

Kasai said blankly, "I'll tell you after you finish washing." I licked the inside of my cheek, and it really smelled like iron.strangeness!I turn my neck.Who did I fight with?Or just being beaten? When I came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, Kasai was on the phone. "Well, I'm already up, and I came out of the shower now, no, I don't remember it at all. I'll tell him now. Okay, I understand.' Putting down the phone, he sighed: "It's the monitor." "Why did the squad leader call?" The squad leader didn't come to drink last night because no one called him.

"Probably Shibata and the others said that they are also worried about Sakai's situation." "Sakai? What's the matter with him?" Kasai made an exaggerated surprise: "I really don't remember?" "Didn't you tell me? Don't be so secretive, tell me quickly." "It's not a joke, I just don't know how to say it. To put it simply, you and Sakai had a fight." "Did you have a fight? With that guy again?" I was a little disappointed, my head hurt more and more, "Why did he mess with me?" "It's you, bro!"

"Me? No mistake?" Seeing Gesai shaking his head, I asked again, "What did I say?" "Simply put, it's what's in your heart. We listened enough last night." "What did I say out of my heart?" "It seems that you don't remember anything." Kasai sighed, "You boy trained all the people in our factory." My eyeballs were about to pop out: "A whole training? It's impossible!" "The fact is that you said it. You said that we have neither self-motivation nor desire to work. We just muddle through. All we think about is how to follow the crowd, how to be lazy, how to cover up our incompetence—that's probably all."

I remembered a little bit, and it did seem to say those words. "You still say that: disregarding your own incompetence, you blame others for their active work; if you can't understand other people's work, you comfort yourself by saying that they can't achieve anything big anyway. When you are working, you are frustrated that you can't show your originality, but in fact Nor do they work hard, nor do they want to work hard to improve their innovation capabilities.” I can't help but want to spray rice.It doesn't look like he's talking nonsense, I'm pretty sure I did say that.Well said, it's a pity that I didn't remember the situation at that time.

"In the end, your kid made bold words again, saying that you want to change the working environment, sweep away the lukewarm system, and make the factory hard for people who are lazy and lazy. How do you remember?" "I don't remember, I probably did." "Of course I did! At first, Dahuo felt that you could hold back after drinking too much, but you couldn't keep silent. Finally, Sakai got angry. You don't remember being beaten by him?" "Oh, I touched the left side of my cheek, because I was beaten by that guy. "It's only for being beaten, it's miserable! "

"Only being beaten?" Kasai's voice rose an octave, "Nonsense! If we hadn't stopped him, your boy would have beaten him to death." "What did I do?" "It's not why, after being beaten, you immediately stand up and fight back, hitting his left eye..." I looked at my right hand, no wonder the bases of my index and middle fingers felt slightly hot. "I probably didn't expect you to fight back. Sakai was careless. He was knocked to the ground, and then you started kicking hard. I thought I was having a nightmare! Then you picked up the wine bottle on the table and wanted to hit him on the head." Smash it up, Zhitian and I will try our best to hold you down. You still refuse to put down the bottle, shouting: "This kind of scum deserves a beating! "

"No mistake?" I looked at my hand again.Hearing what he said, I remembered a little bit, but no matter what, I felt that I would not be so impulsive. "It's unbelievable." "It's up to me to say that," Kasey said, "and then you fell asleep, boy. I brought you here, and I had to stop the people in the tavern from calling the police or something. I was exhausted." "Sorry, did I really do that?" "I also want to say that's nonsense." I have to think about it.Recently I feel more confident and have a different perspective on things than before, but I can't explain this abnormal behavior.

I had to face the question I had been avoiding all the time—Ah Hui’s question: If you replace all your brains, would it still be you? "Hey, Ah Chun, what's going on?" Can you just tell me alone?Recently, everyone in the factory hates you. You have changed too much. It can be said that you have become afraid of everyone, and I am the same.Can you explain it and clear up our unease? " For yesterday's question, I finally found the answer.The frivolous Yabe and everyone are afraid of nothing but me. Kasai and I went to work together, and all the workers in our group arrived at the workshop.All kinds of machines are piled up in a mess, with a large conference table in the middle and a circle of folding chairs around it.People sat, some played cards, others chatted over coffee bought from vending machines, waiting for the bell to ring for work.

"Morning!" Kasai greeted everyone.A few people responded like a conditioned reflex, but then it was a little different from usual.When everyone saw my face, the expression seemed to be frozen, and they immediately looked away. The card players began to pack their cards, and the chatterers drank their instant coffee and threw their paper cups into the wastebasket. They all silently picked up their hard hats. His face parted away gloomy. "It seems that what you said is true." I said to Kasai. "Didn't I tell you several times?" He replied. The work bell rang, and I was just about to walk towards the workshop when my arm was lightly blocked.At first glance, the squad leader looked bitter as if he had eaten Coptis chinensis.I said "good morning". "Come here." The squad leader was obviously unhappy. After entering the office, he walked to the monitor's desk, where Shida was already waiting.I was just about to say hello, seeing that he had the same expression as the squad leader, so I just nodded slightly. "I heard that from Shibata. I was really surprised." The squad leader sat down and looked up at me, the fluorescent light shining on his protective glasses. "Sorry to disturb you." "It was said that it was a disturbance among companions, and the police were finally not alerted, but something serious almost happened, you know, it's understandable to say that Sakai beat you up, but on the contrary..." I bowed my head in silence, speechless. "I'll keep this matter in my mind for the time being. It's not right for Sakai to strike first, but he doesn't want to make things big. He didn't come today, and he will probably come to work next week." I don't want to make things big.Probably because I didn't want people in other workshops to know that he was beaten up by me.I also accept it when I see it. "This kind of thing must never happen again in the future. If you cause trouble again, I will not be able to protect you." "I will pay attention." "Also," the squad leader's tone changed subtly, "I heard what you said last night. Although it was drunk nonsense, many people care about it. Apologize in front of everyone?" "Apologize? Me?" I looked up in surprise. "Let's not talk about violence. Why should I apologize for my remarks? I did say it with the strength of alcohol, but I think I am right. If everyone disagrees, then Discuss it formally without alcohol - non-violently, of course." "Don't be so energetic!" The squad leader pulled his face down. "I understand what you mean. Indeed, I also admire your energy after returning from the hospital. You always work twice as much as others in the same period of time." "It's not that I work fast, it's that others work too much for nothing." "I know. But let me tell you, Ah Chun, the most important thing in anything is to cooperate with others. Take driving on the road as an example, you can't speed up alone in a traffic jam, right? You have to consider the coordination with the surroundings—" "Right now, our workshop is not so much like a traffic jam, it's more like random parking." My statement seems to have hit the monitor's sore spot.He paused for a moment and frowned: "You don't want to bow your head?" "I don't think it's necessary. I want to make the working environment better. Why do I have to apologize to the fallen people?" "Okay." The squad leader nodded annoyed, "I won't force it. But don't forget, you can't survive alone anywhere." "Sometimes it's better to be alone." Seeing that he seemed to have finished speaking, I said "Farewell", stood up and wanted to leave, but remembered something, and returned to his desk.He raised his head and shot a questioning look. "How about my report? I asked the people in the design department a few days ago, and it seems that it hasn't been delivered yet. Didn't I hand it over?" "Oh, that," the squad leader looked gloomy, "I haven't watched it yet. Thinking about it, I'm always busy with this and that..." I felt my face contort.Didn't read that report, which is to say—he won't read anything I submit in the future.What a negligence.How incompetent!Because too busy?He obviously still has time to play silly jokes with the female workers. Undoubtedly, the look of disillusionment was written on my face.The squad leader shook his head with an ugly face: "You have become more brat." "what?" "You've changed. It turns out you're not like this kid." here we go again.After leaving the hospital, I don’t know how many times I heard this. "No, nothing has changed." After I finished speaking, I walked out.The pain in his head must be caused by the wine last night.
