When the train arrived at the station, it was already late afternoon, and I dialed the phone number of the so-called man five minutes before I arrived at the station, and the fellow was polite, he was waiting at the exit of the station early, and he was very attentive to what his relative had entrusted him. At first glance, he gave me the feeling of being a leader, wearing a standard professional attire, and his straight body perfectly propped up the shirt, giving people a sense of solemnity that could not be approached at will, but he spoke very gently, and simple contact did not give people that feeling very distant.

Put me in the back seat of the car and we drove to the direction of the 4S shop, on the way he roughly talked about some things about the after-sales workshop, at that time I didn't know much about the doorway, just a whisper echoed his explanation, after he said, I know that the workshop in addition to me there are a few local fellows in Huacheng, engaged in car maintenance or sales work, are the so-called own people he brought out, in the next less than two years of days may be because of the relationship between the villagers they are very good for me. Regarding the business of car painting, although it is directly under his jurisdiction, it is the industry outsourced by the company, and the internal work of the painting team is basically the contractor, although he politely said that any problems encountered in the work can be solved by him, but I still think it is best not to trouble others excessively, and the days after that did not trouble him.

Even if my task is over, the handover person will become my direct leader in the following days, and he will be responsible for everything including my salary, except for whether he is the paint team leader or contractor. At least I didn't let him worry about it for the first few months of being led by him.

"The apprentice's salary is five hundred, the company provides accommodation, two days off a month, no overtime pay, eight people in the group, three masters, three two knives, a senior brother, and one is the team leader himself, the team boss, but the team leader does not work, and rarely appears in the workshop on weekdays, because he has contracted more than one shop and needs to run around." Aside from the necessary pleasantries, those were one of the few useful messages I received through my communication with him.

"Master, how long does it take to learn?"

That's the only thing I need to know urgently.

"The master introduces the door, and the cultivation is in the individual, looking at himself."

Later, at a wine table, he told me that the first thing people talk to him about is how long it takes to learn, and my answer gave him a glimpse of who he used to be.

The second day of Datong was officially started, in the first few days I also asked the same questions to other masters in the dormitory, and their statements also did not have a specific deadline, and with the blessing of their status, they didn't even bother to say a few words, that was the first time I felt that kind of asymmetry about status, not disrespectful, but the dialogue was obviously not the same level of communication. At the beginning of the same group, I was the only one who was still a person at the time, and perhaps because he was also an apprentice, the communication between us was obviously much more harmonious than that of other masters. As for the work, the first few months basically did not get started, just follow the senior brother to do some very basic work, the daily task is to give the masters a hand, mopping the floor, washing the car, let others have fun, my brother told me that he has been doing it for almost a year, so far there is no chance to do those important processes, the master does not allow, afraid of delaying the construction period, but it should be soon, and when his original work someone takes over he can go further.

After a month or so I can basically take over all the work that originally belonged to the senior brother, the things he is responsible for are really too simple, learning those very simple operations basically did not cost me much energy, the senior brother can also have more energy to devote to a higher level of process, although the next few months are very fulfilling every day, but basically can not learn anything, most of the time is wasted on those little things, almost everyone in the workshop is my direct leader, every day is busy in the direction of others, Not growing was the only thing I felt frustrated at the time.

I have to admit that I really didn't learn anything in the first few months, and if I had to say anything, the wine table culture was one, and I didn't have much opportunity to experience those social situations when I was a student, so I didn't know much about it. Every night on the day of the payroll, the boss would take our brothers out for a meal and drink. Every time I choose two things, eat and sing, or eat and bath, every day I will get drunk to vomit, because all the people on the wine table are their predecessors, and the identity of the apprentice will inevitably trouble everyone, so every time I eat, I have to raise a toast, and every time I toast, I have to be wet with rain and dew, many times I can't shirk it, basically I want two bottles of beer after a circle, and I have to start three laps of a meal. The amount of alcohol was also slowly developed from the beginning of six bottles in place to eight bottles at the beginning, in addition to the wheel toast at that time, I also learned a little, when clinking glasses with others, the mouth of the cup should be a little lower than others, in order to show respect.

When I was half a year old, my team came to a little apprentice, I thought that I could finally be a daughter-in-law like my brother, and when someone came up, I could carry out the next step of upgrading, but the actual situation was very different from what I thought. The little apprentice is a very good person, he is not like me and my brother who can do everything, and from the third day of the workshop, he shows that difference. He chose a guy who seemed to be the most powerful among the three masters at that time, to be his exclusive little follower, only to do the work he assigned, and the arrangements of other masters were all ignored, even if someone instructed him, he still ignored them, and there was a difference in the title, other masters all took surnames, and that master never took a surname, when other masters raised objections, his answer was "I am the apprentice of master so-and-so, and the others are not my master". In less than two months, his progress exceeded everyone's expectations, and his master was indeed very powerful, and he only took about a month to achieve his brother's achievements in more than a year. In fact, everyone worked hard, as for why the result was different in the end. The crying child has milk, he taught me.

I only made the change after the senior brother left, yes, he left, one afternoon not long after the senior brother surpassed him, when a person's face could not be hung up, existence seemed meaningless, obedience and ability, people seemed to prefer the latter, the departure of the senior brother did not attract much attention, but more affirmed the strength of the junior brother. It was the departure of my senior brother that I decided not to be the obedient apprentice in the eyes of others, and began the stage of being heartbroken by the team leader.

Rejection is the first step to making a change, I don't come as soon as I used to, and if I do those simple tasks every day, my day of departure will be far away. Due to the sudden change in my attitude, the masters also changed their previous attitude, no master will like a disobedient apprentice, especially when his ignorance affects his original social status, that kind of contempt is unacceptable and intolerable to them, in the early stage many people have had disputes with me about this, my statement is also very simple, I am here to apprentice, not to do cleaning, there are junior disciples below who are lower than me, why do you want to find me, I can't accept it.

Moving the car was the beginning of the master's rebellion against me, because the workshop did not allow employees without a driver's license to move the car, and the workman inevitably had to change the construction of different stations frequently. Respect is mutual, and I can understand them, how you treat others, they will treat you as you would like to be treated. Due to the lack of cooperation from the masters, I was forced to learn my second skill after leaving the society - driving, I didn't even know how to use the joystick when I first tried to drive the car, but fortunately, the mechanic team in the front workshop had fellow villagers who could help, and that was one of the few times I troubled others.

Later, the occasional boss learned about what happened in the workshop, and sharply accused his two apprentices of outrageous behavior, he would not allow his subordinates to disobey the arrangement, and I also heard that sentence for the first time, if you can do it, you can't do it, although there is no specific reference, but one of them is definitely me.

The boss came forward to end the original state of "monogamy" of the junior brother at that time, and he also had to devote his energy to the unimportant little things arranged by other masters, because I indirectly affected his teaching process, and in the following days our relationship has been in a situation that is not embarrassing or embarrassing, not at all like the harmony with the senior brother before.
