Chapter 98 Emergency
Today is the time for the middle school entrance examination in Butai City. The sky is clear, with a few white clouds floating in the air.
During this period, in accordance with the requirements of the city government's power supply guarantee documents, the company set up power supply guarantee points in each high school entrance examination venue to ensure a stable supply of electricity and ensure that candidates can take the examination smoothly.
Chu Yang was assigned to Butai Middle School as a volunteer to ensure a stable power supply.
This was not a task assigned to me by the department director, but I signed up for it on my own initiative. This job of ensuring power supply during the high school entrance examination is actually a very lucrative job with a subsidy of 500 yuan a day. It can also be written into my performance and I can participate in the performance evaluation at the end of the year.
There are only benefits and no harm.
Generally everyone rushes to do this job. After all, there are only two chances in a year: the college entrance examination and the high school entrance examination. Moreover, there is basically no work to do in ensuring the power supply. You can just play with your phone and chat and then you'll be there.
Net profit of fifteen hundred.
Anyone can Chu Yang was selected because he is a senior worker.
Huang Tianxiang also signed up, but no one wanted him.
This is also a very strange and absurd phenomenon. When you go out to work in your own power company, people don’t pay much attention to the skill certificate because everyone knows that the certificate is not valuable. But when you go outside, others pay much attention to the skill certificate.
Because in the company, everyone knows clearly who has high and low skills, and it is also clear at a glance who is capable and who is not. Many masters in power supply stations actually have very good skills, but they may never pass the intermediate worker exam in their entire lives, because they don't understand the theory at all and can only do hands-on work.
Of course, people outside don’t know how good you are. They only recognize those who have certificates and think that certificates are cool.
After Chu Yang arrived at the place in the morning, he sat in the school's political office to chat and drink tea with another colleague. He was Liu Mingyu, a college student from the Butai Power Supply Station. He joined the Aiguowang Company two years earlier than Chu Yang. He was a nice person and very talkative. He also passed the qualification of senior worker last year.
Nothing happened in the first two days. The two of them spent the time happily eating melon seeds, drinking tea, and chatting about several beautiful women in the company.
Liu Mingyu also said that he liked Lan Bingqing very much. Chu Yang asked him what he liked about Lan Bingqing, and he said that he liked that she ignored him.
Haha, when will the blue man be able to stand up? He’s so angry and so despicable.
On the last day, the two had just arrived and hadn't even sat down when an office worker ran in and shouted, "Is the electrician here? Why is there no electricity in exam room B804? The lights and fans can't be turned on. The candidates are about to enter the room. Go and take a look."
Chu Yang and Liu Mingyu took a deep breath when they heard this.
The exam will start in 15 minutes. This is not a joke. If the power failure affects the candidates' high school entrance exam, the parents will probably be furious, and Aiguowang Company will definitely be pushed to the forefront, which will be a serious sin.
Chu Yang and Liu Mingyu, who are in charge of this area, will definitely suffer the consequences.
Without further ado, the two picked up their tool kits and left immediately. The school also very anxious and urged them on. When they arrived at the examination room, the two quickly checked the lines and soon found out that it could be seen at a glance.
The fuse of the leakage switch outside the examination room was pried away by someone.
Yes, it wasn't burned out, but was pried away by someone.
This is still a man-made event.
Oh my god, this is the first time Chu Yang has encountered such a thing. It seems that someone deliberately wants to prevent the people in this examination room from taking the exam properly. In this June weather with no lights, it might be okay for those with better eyesight, but if there is no fan, then this examination room on the eighth floor is like a steamer.
No one can stay.
Chu Yang could feel the heat waves coming towards him even though he was standing outside the corridor. It was even hotter inside. It was estimated that the candidates would be sweating profusely after entering for a short while. How could they take the exam properly?
The two men looked through their tool bag and found that they did not have this type of fuse.
Ding ding ding~ The preparatory bell rang and the candidate started to enter the examination room. Oh no.
The situation is a bit urgent.
"Two electrician comrades, what should we do? The exam is about to begin. You must get it done quickly." The person in charge of the examination room was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, with sweat on his forehead. If something went wrong in the examination room, their Butai Middle School would definitely have to bear a big blame, and if it was not good enough, they would be held accountable. Then, he, as the person in charge of the examination room, would probably be ruined. After all, they only discovered the problem with the examination room at this time.
According to regulations, the examination venue for the high school entrance examination must check all conditions one hour in advance, but they neglected it.
Chu Yang did not panic, because panicking was useless, and he directly instructed Liu Mingyu to do the job: "Captain Liu, there should be a fuse for this in your power supply station, go and get one back." Now every department needs fuses, and it is not possible to remove the ones in other examination rooms.
Liu Mingyu frowned: "Chu Yang, yes, but we are very far from here. It will take me at least half an hour to go back and forth. The exam is about to start, so I won't be able to make it in time."
Chu Yang calmly replied: "Well, why don't you go to the hardware store at the school gate to see if there is anything you can buy. If that doesn't work, you can just use copper wire to hold it up for a while."
" That won't work, right? The wires won't burn out, so it's probably a bit dangerous," Liu Mingyu replied.
"Don't worry, I understand. This classroom doesn't have air conditioning or anything like that. The current shouldn't be too high. It's okay. Just go quickly. There's no point in you staying here for now."
After Chu Yang finished speaking, he took out a wire, compared the length, cut it short with pliers and set it aside, then used insulating tape to continuously wrap the middle part of the wire and his hands, wrapping his hands like a mummy.
The person in charge of this examination room didn't understand what Chu Yang was doing. He just kept mumbling to himself and went to report to his examination team leader. However, Liu Mingyu obviously understood Chu Yang's operation and said, "Then Chu Yang, be careful. I'll be back soon."
After saying that, he rushed downstairs. Chu Yang still hoped that he could buy back the fuse, because his approach was not easy.
At this time, candidates came to the outside of the examination room one after another and began to prepare to enter. Seeing their excited and nervous expressions, Chu Yang thought about his own high school entrance examination, which should have been the same as theirs.
What a wonderful time.
At this moment they didn't know that there was a power outage in the examination room. If they knew, it would definitely affect their mood and they would probably not perform well.
"Brother Chu Yang, why are you here?"
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded from behind. Chu Yang turned around and saw that it was the girl Huang Ling. She was very surprised and her body was shaking a little. Even in her school uniform, she was still graceful, full of girlishness and exuding the breath of youth.
“Huang Ling, you are in this examination room?” Chu Yang asked. It seemed like it was destined.
"Yes, Brother Chu Yang, are you here to cheer me up?" Huang Ling replied, her big eyes very lively and her expression full of joy.
"Well, yes, you have to study hard in the exam, I will cheer you on outside." Chu Yang smiled, feeling an extra burden in his heart.
"Okay, I will." Huang Ling smiled and jumped into the examination room. Chu Yang was deeply touched by her back.
Ding, ding, ding! At this time, the second bell rang, and the invigilators came in one after another.
At this time, the area examination team leader also came over and asked sternly: "What's going on? It hasn't been fixed yet?" The person in charge went up and explained humbly that the insurance had been pried away and there was no spare part.
"I don't give a f*ck about this. What the hell is your company doing? You can't even solve such a small problem. Now I demand that the power supply be restored immediately, otherwise I will hold your company responsible."
This leader is really awesome. He just wants you to deliver electricity without caring about anything else. What a screwed, incompetent and angry guy.
His attitude was extremely bad. If Chu Yang had not seen the girl Huang Ling smiling at him inside, he would have probably just walked away.
"Stop talking nonsense. If you have so many things to do, just go find a fuse. What do you usually do in such a big school?"
Damn, someone pried open the fuse and it has nothing to do with our company. To put it bluntly, it's your own problem. This is your own wiring. I've been merciful and helped you deal with it. Why are you still complaining here?
The head of the examination team suddenly looked a little embarrassed and walked away.
Most of the candidates have sat down, adjusted their mindsets and prepared for the exam, but some have begun to question why the lights and fans are not turned on.
There was a commotion inside.
Forget it, for these lovely people, for the little girl Huang Ling.
Chu Yang knew he couldn't wait any longer.
That's too late .
He took a deep breath and lifted the well wrapped with tape, then took the wire steadily and put it directly in, blocking the two ends of the fuse. A spark jumped, and then the lights in the classroom lit up, and the fan started to turn...
Yes, Chu Yang can only connect the two ends directly with wires like this, but he cannot move around and his hands cannot shake, otherwise there will be a power outage.
At this time, Chu Yang smiled at Huang Ling through the window.
Huang Ling also smiled, and her nervous mood gradually calmed down. She didn't know what Chu Yang was doing, and thought Chu Yang was really accompanying her.
The test papers were distributed and the candidates began to answer the questions.
There was a rustling sound of writing coming from inside the examination room.
Chu Yang held the wire in his hand without moving. Slowly his body became numb and his hand started to heat up...
