Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Chapter 139: How did I start doing clerical work?
After Li Feng returned home, he didn't think about anything else.

Li Feng was exhausted after returning from the police station, so he washed up and fell asleep.

As for Shazhu, he was just spacing out in his room.

Sha Zhu originally thought he was about to get a wife, but he never expected things to turn out like this.

Shazhu is feeling extremely unwell right now.

Seeing her brother's state, He Yushui could only tell him to go to sleep early and promised to introduce him to her classmates later.

Whether Sha Zhu listened or not, He Yushui didn't know.

After all, He Yushui wasn't a mind reader like Sha Zhu.

So all she could do was offer advice; there was nothing else she could do.

A few days later

On the eighth day
That is, it's time to go to work.

Li Feng hasn't paid any attention to Sha Zhu these past few days because he thinks the most important thing for Sha Zhu right now is to keep quiet.

As for other things, they are not important at all.

So Li Feng didn't go to Sha Zhu's house to look for him.

Although Sha Zhu's relationship ended, Li Feng had no intention of returning the industrial vouchers he received.

After all, I put in the mental effort myself.

In any case, I did offer some suggestions.

Therefore, these industrial vouchers can only be considered as a reward for one's hard work.

So Li Feng didn't go anywhere for the past few days, just stayed at home drawing.

Early on the morning of the eighth day of the lunar new year, Li Feng went to the factory.

When Li Feng arrived at the factory, he found many people heating the ovens.

There was absolutely no atmosphere of working at that moment.

After thinking about it, Li Feng felt that this was normal.

After all, the Lunar New Year has just passed, and the Lantern Festival hasn't even ended yet, so it's normal for everyone to be in this state.

So even Master Deng didn't say anything about it.

This is also human nature.

However, Master Deng didn't say anything to them, but he did ask Li Feng how his sketches were coming along right from the start.

Li Feng has been working diligently these past few days, drawing several sketches.

So Li Feng showed Master Deng the first drafts he had drawn over the past few days.

After looking at Li Feng's drawings, Master Deng felt that something was missing.

So Master Deng couldn't help but start asking Li Feng.

"Do you think your drawing is missing something?"

Li Feng looked at his drawing, then nodded to Master Deng.

"Um!".

"I also feel like something is missing."

"I think it's a person."

"My manuscript lacks a key character."

After hearing Li Feng's words, Master Deng nodded in agreement.

"That's right!"

"It is indeed lacking a key figure."

"The most important element of a painting is its soul—the figure."

"This time, the topic our superiors gave us is oil and the Iron Man."

"As for the other elements, they are secondary."

Li Feng then looked at Master Deng and said.

"Master Deng".

"I couldn't find any images of the Iron Man in the library."

"Could the publicity department provide us with some pictures and information about the Iron Man?"

After hearing Li Feng's words, Master Deng nodded to Li Feng.

"This matter is indeed very important."

"How about this?"

"I'll go and coordinate this matter with Assistant Han."

Upon hearing this, Li Feng thanked Master Deng.

"Master Deng!"

"thank you".

Master Deng simply waved his hand and said.

"No need to thank me."

"This is a task assigned by the organization."

"This requires our joint efforts to accomplish." "I think so!"

"The organization will coordinate this matter properly."

Subsequently
Master Deng then relayed Li Feng's request to his superiors.

Factory Director Wei quickly instructed Assistant Han to coordinate with the publicity department to send pictures and materials about the Iron Man, along with other items, to the ceramics factory.

Li Feng received the materials in the afternoon.

At this moment, Li Feng couldn't help but sigh!

When the factory really needs to do something, its efficiency is absolutely top-notch.

Absolutely perfect.

After receiving the materials, Li Feng began drawing a new draft.

After all, key figures need to be added, and their resolute expressions need to be drawn.

Therefore, the images obtained from the publicity department can only be used as a reference.

Thus, the Iron Man in Li Feng's writing stands beside a tall oil drilling field, his face covered in mud. He looks at the drilling platform not far away, a resolute expression on his face, and then at the oil workers around him, all of whom show happy expressions.

After finishing this draft, Li Feng realized that he had made up for the things that were missing before.

Moreover, it carries a sense of responsibility towards the country.

When Li Feng finished drawing this part, he felt...

This version!
This can be considered the final draft.

only!
Whether or not the higher-ups adopt it is not up to us to decide.

However, before that, we should first show the manuscript to Master Deng.

So Li Feng quickly gave the manuscript to Master Deng.

When Master Deng received the manuscript, he was immediately shocked by Li Feng's speed.

I only received the materials this afternoon, and you finished the drawing in just one afternoon?
This speed!

Simply.

Seeing Master Deng's somewhat incredulous expression, Li Feng felt a little embarrassed and tried to explain.

"I simply added some characters to the original design."

"Actually, I didn't make many changes."

After hearing Li Feng's words, Master Deng's lips twitched involuntarily.

Master Deng looked at the three or four extra people and some background figures on the sketch in his hand.

This is what you call not much change?
If I hadn't read your original draft this morning, I might have actually believed it.

Although Master Deng was complaining in his heart, he didn't show any expression on his face. At this moment, he simply nodded slightly to Li Feng.

"Um!".

"After adding the key figure, the effect was indeed much better."

"Moreover, the strength, labor, dedication, and so on mentioned by the superiors have all been included."

"The fact that you can draw like this shows that you put your heart into it."

At this moment, Master Deng couldn't help but start praising Li Feng.

Li Feng smiled at Master Deng and said...

"This is all thanks to your excellent teaching, Master Deng."

However, after hearing Li Feng's words, Master Deng shook his head at Li Feng and said...

"I didn't teach you much; you figured it all out yourself."

"Sometimes drawing is like that, it just happens suddenly!"

"I have learned a lot of things on my own."

"so!".

"Being self-taught is a proven fact in our industry."

When Master Deng got to this point, he suddenly thought of something, so he continued speaking to Li Feng.

"Keep this manuscript with me for now."

"I'll take it to Director Wei tomorrow and see if he approves the draft."

"If we can finalize the draft, we can start preparing other things."

Upon hearing this, Li Feng couldn't help but ask Master Deng a question.

"So what do I need to do next?"

Master Deng thought for a moment, then gave instructions to Li Feng.

"Go help Assistant Han compile a report on the process flow of our new color group and the allocation of the resources needed."

"Also, you need to compile the minutes from our last meeting and make sure to hand them over properly, because this is a special project and our new color team needs to make backups as well."

Li Feng didn't expect this.

Besides painting, I also need to do some clerical work.

However, since it was Master Deng who gave the order, Li Feng had no choice but to carry it out.

Who can blame him when Master Deng is the head of the new color team? And he's also one of the leaders of the special task force.
