Ding Shilei learned a lot of craftsmanship from Master Zhao, and Master Zhao taught almost all his skills to Ding Shilei.

Master Zhao has only one son, who despises carpentry work and works as a worker in a factory.

Master Zhao had accepted many apprentices in the past, but most of them failed to persist.

Even if a few persisted, they all learned to stand on their own.

Master Zhao has long seen that Ding Shilei is a quick learner and willing to learn, and his skills will surpass his own sooner or later.

Moreover, Ding Shilei will also leave him and have his own way to go.

However, Master Zhao did not feel sad. Instead, he was very happy for him. He was not as angry and heartbroken as when his apprentices left.

Ding Shilei now just needs to practice more, become more familiar, and master more skills.

Master Zhao has now given the difficult part to Ding Shilei.

Although Ding Shilei did more work, he understood Master Zhao's intention and always worked hard.

Master Zhao was very satisfied when he saw this.

However, after finishing this job, Master Zhao didn't receive any work for a long time.

Maybe it's because there were fewer weddings during this period and no one was making new furniture.

Ding Shilei found a job, this time with a small contractor team, specializing in building houses in rural areas.

Originally, there was no shortage of people in this contracting team, but one of the workers building the wall was accidentally injured.

What they are looking for is someone who is ready to build a wall.

But there is usually no shortage of work for successful people, so it is difficult to find them.

Ding Shilei happened to have studied there and had good skills, so he applied for the job.

However, the contractor saw that he was young and doubted his skills, so he asked him to try it first.

If his skills are not good enough, he can be fired at any time.

Ding Shilei also agreed.

Although he lacks experience, he seems to be born with this skill.

It was a bit unfamiliar at first, but soon I got better and better, and my speed picked up.

The contractor couldn't help but nodded slightly. He thought Ding Shilei was a little nervous at first, so he didn't take it seriously.

After working for a few days, the contractor became more and more satisfied with Ding Shilei.

Ding Shilei is skilled, willing to work, obeys orders, and respects other elderly people. Everyone in the contracting team likes him very much.

On this day, the contractor found Ding Shilei.

"Xiao Ding, it's rare that you have such skills at such a young age.", the contractor praised.

Ding Shilei quickly denied it humbly: "No, boss, you have given me the reward."

The contractor smiled with satisfaction and did not continue the topic.

"Xiao Ding, do you want to follow me in the future?"

Ding Shilei looked at the contractor in surprise, unsure whether what the contractor meant was what he thought.

"Boss, what do you mean...?"

"I mean, would you like to join the contractor team?"

After correcting his thoughts, Ding Shilei was very excited.

Joining the contracting team will not only give you a high salary, but you will also not have to look for work in the future.

Ding Shilei calmed down and did not agree directly. Instead, he told the contractor about his situation.

"Boss, I'm also learning carpentry now. I'm afraid there will be a time conflict."

The contractor raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect that Ding Shilei was still learning carpentry.

He even felt that Ding Shilei, a young man, was quite good.

It’s a good thing to learn more than one craft.

"It's not like we all live to be adults. How about this? I'll give you the price of a master, and you can come to my place when you have time. How about that?"

The conditions offered by the contractor were already very good, so there was no reason for Ding Shilei not to agree.

"Thank you, boss, I will do a good job." Ding Shilei promised.

The contractor was even more satisfied.
