Chapter 164: A General Worker’s Path to Promotion
At Pengcheng Jingqing Display Manufacturing Plant, 7:30 in the morning is the start time for the day shift employees.

The factory was bustling with people at this moment, and Zhang Xiaoning was walking on the sidewalk with his girlfriend.

When this production base was first established, Zhang Xiaoning had just resigned from Foxconn. He was not planning to find a job so quickly and was planning to go home and rest for a while.

Unfortunately, something unexpected happened just after I completed the resignation procedures and I couldn’t go home. I originally wanted to go back to Foxconn, but at that time it took at least one month after leaving the job before I could apply for another job.

I had no choice but to check online to see if there were other jobs. At that time, I was very lucky and saw that Jingqing MCTL production base was recruiting, so I went to apply immediately.

Up to now, Zhang Xiaoning has been working in Jingqing for several months. Since it is a new factory, all the employees are newly recruited. He finally succeeded in his confession last month, ending his single life of more than 20 years.

This was not easy for him who just graduated from junior high school.

“How have you thought about the question my mother asked yesterday?”

The woman who was holding Zhang Xiaoning’s wrist asked.

The woman was about twenty-two or twenty-three years old, only about 1.55 meters tall, and looked a little plump.

Zhang Xiaoning said without hesitation: “You also know my situation, is there really no problem?”

“What’s the problem?” Fang Susu smiled and said, “We don’t have the so-called sky-high bride price in Chaoshan. We just need to work together in the future.”

After several months of contact, Fang Susu was quite satisfied with Zhang Xiaoning. He never asked for leave, was very restrained in spending money, and had no bad habits.

After living together for a month, the two got to know each other better. He was sure that the other party was not acting before. Zhang Xiaoning was just suffering from the lack of education and the poor situation in his hometown.

She believed that as long as the two of them worked hard together, their lives would get better and better.

After realizing this, she finally told her parents about it a few days ago. Last night, her mother asked her to bring Zhang Xiaoning home to visit.

After all, Fang Susu is not young anymore and she knows her own situation. It is already very good that she can find a husband that she is satisfied with.

“Really?” Zhang Xiaoning asked unconfidently.

“I lied to you and you made money?”

“Hehe! You don’t have to work overtime this weekend. You can go back to see your parents during the weekend!” Zhang Xiaoning immediately said with a smile.

“Are you calling me that already? I haven’t even agreed yet!” Fang Susu smiled.

Zhang Xiaoning reached out and held Fang Susu’s hand, then raised his head and walked towards the workshop, full of energy.

I arrived at the workshop, punched in and waited for a few minutes. As soon as the time was up, the line leader came over to preside over the morning meeting.

When everyone had gathered, the line leader spoke.

“I have an important announcement to make. This is an email sent directly from the group headquarters and the president’s office to all employees. It is very important, so listen carefully!”

From Tiansheng Optics to Jingqing Group, Chen Jinghong’s internal requirements are all towards formalized group planning. Therefore, even in the production department, each line leader has an exclusive workstation, and daily work arrangements and other arrangements are made through email exchanges.

Therefore, the first thing the line manager does every day is to check his work email.

When they heard that it was an email to all employees sent from the President’s Office at the headquarters, perhaps they did not understand what it meant, but after feeling the serious tone of the line leader, everyone perked up and took it seriously.

After scanning the people on the opposite side and feeling their state, the line leader continued to speak.

“Starting today, all branches, departments, and employees of Jingqing Group will be connected to the group’s talent training system.

For all subsequent positions, as long as you meet the requirements and pass the online interview, you will be able to start work directly.

The notice announced that no matter what your current position or educational background is, starting today you can open the group’s internal app or website to take courses.

There are general courses and exclusive courses. Everyone should try to study them all and pass the assessment. I heard that you can get a promotion later!”

The line leader spoke very carefully and did not miss anything.

Unfortunately, even though he emphasized it several times, these low-level employees hardly took it seriously, and almost no one believed the value of his words.

Especially when someone asks whether it is mandatory. After all, some companies’ human resources also organize these trainings in order to make their superiors feel that they are doing their job.

All employees are also required to watch online training videos and pass assessments. They don’t care about the assessment method, as long as the assessment is passed on the APP.

However, when they learned that it was not mandatory and that they did not even have to download the APP, everyone stopped talking.

Time passed quickly and it was soon time to get off work. Zhang Xiaoning and his girlfriend walked towards the rental house.

I opened my phone on the way and immediately saw the QR code, link and a short sentence sent by the group leader.

Zhang Xiaoning was originally going to ignore it, after all, it was not mandatory.

When he saw Fang Susu beside him, he somehow opened the link and downloaded and installed it.

Since the APP is only a few megabytes in size, it can be installed in less than a minute.

Open the APP and log in to your work number, and there are only three sections that come into view.

Courses, internal recruitment, individuals.

Open the personal information, the information is very simple, name: Zhang Xiaoning, position: D16.

D16 Jing Qing has the lowest rank and is considered a screw among screws.

After looking through my own information and then opening the course, the interface started to become complicated.

The courses are distributed in a large number of sections. Scrolling down, Zhang Xiaoning found that almost 99% of them were not unlocked.

I clicked it out of curiosity, and the unlocking requirements popped up directly. I clicked on several of them, and all the unlocking conditions required passing a certain course assessment.

“Does the course not depend on rank? Can you move on as long as you pass the previous course assessment?”

Zhang Xiaoning thought to himself.

Then he returned to the basic courses, originally thinking they were the things in school.

But I was soon slapped in the face. In addition to specific technical basic subjects, mathematics, chemistry, physics, language requirements, etc. are also required.

A large part of it has nothing to do with these.

Fang Susu, who had just walked out of the bathroom after taking a shower, found that her boyfriend had been studying the group’s internal APP since he got off work. She blurted out: “What’s so good about this? Do you really believe what the boss said?”

Fang Susu never believed that the subsequent promotions at Jingqing Company would be determined by this small APP, and she didn’t believe that the hard work of front-line employees like them in studying and training could change their fate.

After finding the basic course, Zhang Xiaoning opened it and started studying. Without even turning his head, he said perfunctorily: “I don’t have anything else to do anyway, so there’s no harm in learning some knowledge!”

It is a basic course, and it is worthy of being a basic course. Although Zhang Xiaoning has never been to high school, he does not find it difficult to learn overall.

I could almost understand the explanations in the video courses, and I passed each section test without any pressure.

After finishing the two content courses, Zhang Xiaoning faced his first comprehensive exam.

“Huh! I finally got it done. If I had studied so hard, college would have been a piece of cake for me!”

After completing the test with an 89% pass rate, Zhang Xiaoning put down his phone and let out a sigh of emotion.

Then I turned around and found that Fang Susu had fallen asleep. Only then did I realize that it was almost one o’clock in the morning. I didn’t expect that it took me nearly five hours to study.

Considering that he had to go to work the next day, Zhang Xiaoning quickly washed up, got into bed, and hugged Fang Susu to sleep.

In the next few days, Zhang Xiaoning was like a possessed person. No matter how Fang Susu persuaded him, he studied until eleven or twelve o’clock every night. He started with basic courses, thought courses, basic statistics courses, basic analysis courses, emergency handling courses, and grassroots management courses.

In order to learn these, he had been working overtime like crazy since he started working. He finally had a long-awaited double day off. He stayed in the rental house and studied all day during the two days off.

Fang Susu opened her eyes and found no one beside her. She picked up her phone to check the time, then looked up at the person sitting on the chair and said, “You are possessed by a demon, right?”

Hearing the noise, Zhang Xiaoning whispered, “Did I disturb you?”

“No, do you really think this will help?”

“Of course, when I woke up this morning, I saw that there are many vacancies for line leaders in the group. All I need now is the grassroots management course. After I pass it, I can sign up for the interview!
The line leader is a D14 with a base salary of 3700, plus other subsidies, so the overall monthly salary can be to higher!”

Zhang Xiaoning became more and more excited as he spoke, and didn’t look tired at all.

Currently, both he and Fang Susu have a base salary of 2900. If they can pass this test smoothly, including overtime pay and benefits, their total monthly salary will be at least more than .

This is also the motivation that supports him to keep studying this week.

“We have dozens of people online, but you’re the only one who takes it seriously.” Fang Susu said helplessly, “Okay! When you fail the interview, you’ll know that this is just a lie from the HR side!”

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

After saying that, Fang Susu fell down and continued to sleep.

After being hit by Fang Susu, Zhang Xiaoning didn’t care and turned around to continue studying seriously. The grassroots management course was only missing the last bit of content, and he decided to work hard to finish it tonight.

【Congratulations, you passed the basic management course test! 】

When these words appeared on his phone, Zhang Xiaoning relaxed instantly.

Then immediately return to the homepage, open the internal recruitment section, and prepare to apply for the position of line leader in our factory.

“Huh? This D12 requirement is so low?”

At this moment, he discovered that there were hundreds more job listings than in the morning, many of which had low requirements, but the corresponding employee levels were indeed very high.

“Silicon wafer cleaning and baking operator?”

Clicking on a job position at random, Zhang Xiaoning immediately discovered that except for a corresponding process technology course, all other requirements had been met.

D12, basic salary 4800, benefits year-end…

Looking carefully at the salary and benefits corresponding to the job position, Zhang Xiaoning quickly calculated that if this was true, based on his current working hours, his monthly salary would have exceeded 10,000 yuan, and with the year-end bonus, his annual income should be around 180,000 to 200,000 yuan.

Importantly, the position of silicon wafer cleaning and baking operator also has a detailed promotion path, and can eventually lead to promotion to management level in the chip industry.

D14, basic salary 2900, about per year.

D12, basic salary 4800, about a year.

Zhang Xiaoning opens the line leader position, closes the line leader position, opens… closes…

“Isn’t it just one more course? For the sake of a $200,000 annual salary, I took it!”

After a while, Zhang Xiaoning finally made up his mind and directly closed the line leader position that he had been eyeing for a long time, and turned around to hide the silicon wafer cleaning and baking operator.

Then I opened the Silicon Wafer Cleaning and Baking Industrial Technology Course and began to look at it.

After swallowing the rice noodle roll in her mouth, Fang Susu looked up and asked Zhang Xiaoning, “Didn’t you say that you passed all the courses last night? Have you applied for the position of line leader?”

Zhang Xiaoning shook his head slightly!
“See, I told you it was just empty talk. It won’t be our turn at all!” Fang Susu thought her boyfriend had failed after trying, so she immediately said with a smile.

For her, she has accepted her fate since she chose to work in the factory, and now she just wants to find someone she likes, start a family, and live a simple life in the second half of her life.

Seeing that his answer was misunderstood, Zhang Xiaoning didn’t care about what he said, and hurriedly explained: “Some new positions were added yesterday, and there was a D12 low-requirement position, so I temporarily changed my goal and prepared to take another course to apply for that position!”

Fang Susu was very surprised: “D12? How much is the salary?”

“The base salary is 4800, and I expect to earn more than per year. I plan to work hard to learn the process technology for that position in the next few days, and I must pass the interview!”

In the next few days, Zhang Xiaoning worked hard to learn the exclusive courses for the position of silicon wafer cleaning and baking, in order to learn it as quickly as possible to avoid having the position snatched up by others in advance.

He specially bought a notebook and took careful notes while watching the video tutorial.

Although there are currently no practical conditions and all the knowledge is just theoretical knowledge, he studies very seriously.

A few days later, when I opened the silicon wafer cleaning and baking job interface again, the originally gray apply button was no longer gray.

“Huh!” Looking at the mobile phone in his hand, Zhang Xiaoning took a deep breath, then gently tapped the apply button with his finger.

Fang Susu sat next to him, looking a little nervous: “How is it? When is the interview?”

“Ten minutes to prepare!”

This timing surprised Zhang Xiaoning. He originally thought that even after submitting the application, it would take at least one or two days before his turn for an interview.

I didn’t expect that there was only ten minutes to prepare. I couldn’t help but wonder if the staff in HR were so idle.

Ten minutes passed quickly, and Zhang Xiaoning’s exclusive account immediately sent an interview invitation.

“An employee of the group’s MCTL production department, Zhang Xiaoning?”

“Hello, I’m Zhang Xiaoning!”

“Face verification, confirmed that the subject is Zhang Xiaoning, learning process verification successful, cheating detection passed, interview will begin now, please make sure there are no outsiders within five meters!”

Upon hearing the reminder, Zhang Xiaoning quickly asked Fang Susu to leave the rental house first.

“Please describe in detail the silicon wafer cleaning and baking process and special precautions!”

The interviewer started off by talking directly about the practical stuff. Fortunately, Zhang Xiaoning had memorized all of it by heart, and he explained the process and precautions very skillfully.

Twenty minutes later, almost all the process technologies had been tested. Just when Zhang Xiaoning thought it was enough, the interviewer changed the subject and actually started testing basic courses. Fortunately, these were not a problem for him, and he answered all the questions fluently.

“The interview is over. Employee Zhang Xiaoning has passed the interview for the silicon wafer cleaning and baking position and will be promoted to D12 effective immediately.

The personnel has been transferred from the MCTL production department. Please report to Jingqing Semiconductor in Dapeng New District within three days for a three-month offline training! “

“Is this passed?”

Although Zhang Xiaoning felt very confident, he also thought that the results would not be available for at least a few days. He never expected that the results would be available on the spot.

The most important thing is to hear the interviewer say that your rank has been promoted on the spot, which means that your salary for this month has also been refreshed!

After receiving the news, Fang Susu hurried back to the rental house and immediately asked, “How is it? Did you pass?”

“Look for yourself!” Zhang Xiaoning handed over his cell phone.

“Zhang Xiaoning, D12! Passed?”

“Well, the job levels have been updated immediately!”

After getting confirmation again, Fang Susu hugged the other person excitedly.

Zhang Xiaoning, on the other hand, did not react much: “This position is in Dapeng New District. I think the requirements are not difficult. How about you concentrate on studying for a while, and then take the exam for a position there together?”

“Yeah!!…” Fang Susu nodded excitedly, agreeing with his idea!
