Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Chapter 140: Can you take on apprentices after reaching the intermediate level?
Li Feng only had a basic understanding of the tasks of an administrative officer, but there was actually a lot more to be done.

of course!

These are all things that the new color team needs to do; there's even more to do regarding the entire project.

However, these were all handled by Assistant Han.

Therefore, compared to the workload of Assistant Han, Li Feng's workload was not actually that heavy.

Li Feng's primary responsibility was drawing.

This is something that Assistant Han cannot replace.

This involves developing plans and schemes, coordinating resource allocation, finding information, and coordinating the borrowing of equipment from other ceramic factories.

Li Feng only needs to be responsible for a part of it.

so.

Li Feng still has some time for himself.

After understanding what he was responsible for, Li Feng ate his meal in the cafeteria and then prepared to go home.

After all, these things can't be finished in a short time.

So Li Feng decided to think about it slowly when he got home.

As for the production of the porcelain slabs, it was handled by Deputy Factory Director Zhu and several master craftsmen.

Li Feng himself doesn't need to worry about these things, because all he needs to do is draw.

However, before that, Li Feng still needed to get what Master Deng had just mentioned out, otherwise...

The progress will definitely be hindered.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain to Master Deng later.

Just as Li Feng finished eating and was about to leave.

At this moment, Wang Liu appeared in the cafeteria with Zhou Jianjun.

Upon seeing Li Feng, Wang Liu and the others excitedly approached him.

He then immediately greeted Li Feng with a smile.

"Li Feng!"

"You're here."

"I didn't even see you!"

"I thought you weren't at work today!"

After Wang Liu finished speaking, Zhou Jianjun sat down next to Li Feng and said something as well.

"yes!".

"I didn't see you when I passed by the painting workshop."

"My dad doesn't even know where you went."

Li Feng was a little embarrassed to say it.

"I see!"

"I am indeed not in the painting workshop."

Wang Liu then asked Li Feng with some curiosity.

"What's wrong?".

"Didn't you get a big job?"

"How can you draw if you're not in the workshop?"

Upon hearing this, Li Feng addressed Wang Liu and Zhou Jianjun.

"no way".

"This big job requires drawing blueprints and compiling reports."

"It's a real hassle!"

"The factory even set aside an office for this big project."

"I draw in my new office."

Upon hearing this, Wang Liu and Zhou Jianjun were both quite surprised.

"You went to the office?"

"sure!".

Li Feng waved to the two of them.

"These are all temporary."

"I'm just working here temporarily. Once the project is completed, I'll definitely be going back to the workshop."

After listening to Li Feng's explanation, Wang Liu nodded in agreement.

"That's true!"

"After all, we do craftsmanship, so sitting in an office is indeed a bit unrealistic."

Li Feng nodded.

"yes!".

"So these are all temporary."

Li Feng then looked at the two of them and asked them a question.

"That's right!"

"Where's Fu Sheng?".

"Why didn't he come?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jianjun couldn't help but explain to Li Feng.

"Him?"

"He's going on a blind date today."

When Li Feng heard Zhou Jianjun's words, he was surprised.

"What?".

"A blind date?"

"Him?"

"Isn't he only eighteen?"

"So you went on a blind date?"

Zhou Jianjun nodded to Li Feng and said.

"yes!".

"Didn't he say last year that he wanted to find a wife?"

"What's so strange about him going on a blind date today?" Wang Liu nodded in agreement.

"yes!".

"It's not a big deal if he goes on a blind date."

“It’s not uncommon for apprentices in our factory to be dating at seventeen or eighteen. Fusheng’s case is considered normal.”

"Now Fusheng will soon become a formal apprentice as well."

"Master Wang, we plan to have him graduate in two months."

After hearing Wang Liu's words, Li Feng asked Wang Liu with some surprise.

"Will he take the Level 1 worker assessment?"

Wang Liu shook his head at Li Feng in reply.

"That's still early."

"The assessment for Level 1 worker is not easy to pass."

"I've been studying for over a year and it took me more than a year to pass the Level 1 worker exam."

"It would be quite good if Fusheng could complete his apprenticeship within six months."

"Master Wang only allowed him to graduate early because of his recent hard work."

"Otherwise, do you think Master Wang would let him graduate early?"

Li Feng then considered Master Wang's personality and realized that he indeed wouldn't allow Fusheng to complete his apprenticeship in a short time.

However, this also demonstrates Fusheng's efforts during this period.

What Li Feng didn't know was that it was because Fu Sheng saw how quickly Li Feng had been promoted, so he had to put in even more effort in order to catch up with Li Feng.

Fusheng believed that he and Li Feng had entered the factory in the same batch.

There's no reason I should be this slow.

So he kept studying and working hard.

Upon hearing this, Li Feng nodded to Zhou Jianjun and Wang Liu.

"Fusheng is working so hard, I can't let him down, I have to work hard too."

Upon hearing Li Feng's words, Zhou Jianjun and Wang Liu couldn't help but twitch their lips.

"Please don't do that."

"You're already a level three artist, Jianjun and I are nowhere near as good as you, okay?"

"I'm only a first-level potter's wheel maker."

"Don't try so hard, I can't keep up with you."

Zhou Jianjun nodded in agreement.

"yes!".

"Don't even mention Brother Wang, I'm not even a first-level potter yet, so don't try too hard."

"If you try too hard, I won't be able to keep up at all."

Li Feng couldn't help but smile.

"I was just kidding."

"I'm already at level three in drawing, how could I possibly level up again?"

After hearing Li Feng's words, Wang Liu couldn't help but ask Li Feng.

"So, will you participate in the assessment in April?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jianjun also looked at Li Feng with curiosity.

Li Feng thought for a moment, then nodded to the two of them and said.

"Um!".

“I’m planning to participate. Master Deng told me to take the assessment in April. Master Deng should have already registered me.”

"Master Deng said that it would be best to pass the exam for this professional title, but if you don't pass it, you can consider it as gaining experience."

After listening to Li Feng's words, Wang Liu and Zhou Jianjun couldn't help but look on with envy.

"I really envy you."

"Since it was Master Deng who asked you to participate, it means you must have a level four painting skill."

"If you can be promoted to level four painter, then you will be the youngest intermediate painter in our factory."

"Jianjun and I never even dared to dream of being promoted to intermediate-level worker."

Zhou Jianjun nodded in agreement.

“My dad said that if I get promoted to intermediate level, I’ll be a master craftsman in the factory.”

"From now on, brother, you'll be Master Li."

After hearing Zhou Jianjun's words, Li Feng couldn't help but smile and say something.

"Master Li? That's strange!"

"I feel like I'm seventy or eighty years old."

Zhou Jianjun nodded.

"I feel that way."

"But you're not even twenty yet, and you've already become a master."

"This feeling!"

"I really envy you."

At this moment, Wang Liu also spoke.

"yes!".

"Once you become a level four painter, you can take on apprentices."

"If the factory recruits new people, they might make you their mentor."

Li Feng was somewhat surprised when he heard this.

"What?".

"No way?"

"So fast?"

"I didn't know any of this."

Zhou Jianjun then explained.

"Not necessarily. However, if the master chef has already taken on enough apprentices, he might let you take on apprentices."

"Of course! I was just saying that it's possible you might take on an apprentice."
