Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Chapter 178 Yan Bugui's Inner Thoughts
At this moment, Uncle Yan Bugui couldn't help but ask Li Feng and Xu Damao with some curiosity.

"Huh."

"It's a bit unusual that the two of you returned to the courtyard at the same time."

Upon hearing what the Third Uncle said, Xu Damao smiled and replied to him.

“I just came back from showing a movie in the countryside, and I happened to run into Brother Li Feng at the alley entrance, so we came in together.”

As for Li Feng's words, he simply nodded to the Third Uncle.

"I just ran into them on the street."

"Uncle, I have something to attend to, so I'll head back now."

After Li Feng finished speaking, he stepped into the courtyard.

For Li Feng, there wasn't much to talk about with the Third Uncle, so after exchanging a few words with him, he went straight into the courtyard house.

The old man was already used to Li Feng's behavior.

Li Feng was always like this whenever Uncle San ran into him in the courtyard.

So the third uncle didn't care much about Li Feng's attitude.

At this moment, after Xu Damao saw Li Feng return to the house, he immediately told the Third Uncle about Li Feng's return by car.

Xu Damao emphasized that Li Feng was sent to the ministry to deliver something, but he didn't try to build any connections and just came back directly.

If it were me, I would definitely do this or that, and so on.

The third uncle was somewhat surprised that Li Feng had returned by car.

After all, Uncle Yan Bugui had almost only ever ridden on public buses in his life and had never experienced the privilege of riding in a car. He never expected that Li Feng would actually get to enjoy it.

Although it only happened once, he was still very envious.

However, Yan Bugui was not surprised that Li Feng had not made any connections within the ministry.

According to Yan Bugui, Li Feng doesn't interact much with the people in the courtyard anymore.

Li Feng was like this when he was little.

It's hardly changed now.

Yan Bugui viewed Li Feng's behavior as a sign of being spineless.

Therefore, Yan Bugui believed that Li Feng was destined for a life of no great success.

Most importantly, Yan Bugui believed that if Li Feng hadn't been lucky enough to get into the ceramics factory, Li Feng, a junior high school graduate, definitely wouldn't have been able to become a worker.

It's a pity that my eldest son is still just a temporary worker.

At this moment, Yan Bugui nodded in agreement to Xu Damao.

"Um!".

"You're right."

"What a pity."

"However, you're wrong about one thing: that's just Li Feng's personality."

"He doesn't know how to flatter anyone at all, what a waste of such a good opportunity."

"If my son had such an opportunity, he would definitely make the most of it."

Upon hearing Yan Bugui's words, Xu Damao nodded in agreement.

"yes!".

"If I could get in touch with people in the department, I would definitely be better off than I am now."

Yan Bugui looked at Xu Damao and couldn't help but laugh.

"You're doing well now too."

"Although you are not a cadre, you are treated no differently from a cadre."

Upon hearing Yan Bugui's words, Xu Damao couldn't help but feel a little smug.

After all, if I were in the factory, I would indeed enjoy the benefits of a cadre.

Compared to Sha Zhu and Yan Jiecheng, his status was definitely higher.

Although Sha Zhu is the head chef in the factory, he is just a worker. As for Yan Jiecheng, he is just a temporary worker, so there is no comparison.

In this courtyard house, apart from the eldest and second eldest uncles...

I was considered someone who had some influence in the steel rolling mill.

So he couldn't help but smile at the third uncle.

"At present, my treatment is only about the same as that of cadres."

“But he’s not a cadre.” The third uncle couldn’t help but laugh when he heard this.

"Isn't this just a matter of time?"

While Xu Damao was chatting with the Third Uncle, Li Feng had already returned home.

Li Feng checked the time and realized it was already past seven o'clock.

At this moment, Li Feng couldn't help but think that the cultural troupe was quite far from his home.

It's just not on the way at all.

But it doesn't matter, since I won't be going there often in the future anyway.

When Li Feng thought of this, he prepared to wash up and then rest.

After all, he still had to go to work tomorrow, and with so many things happening today, Li Feng felt exhausted.

Recently, Li Feng has felt that he gets tired very quickly, which may be related to his recent experiences.

After washing up, Li Feng lay down on the bed.

He then drifted off to sleep.

The next day
Li Feng got up very early in the morning.

Because his bicycle was still at the factory, Li Feng had to walk to work.

When Li Feng arrived at the factory canteen.

Li Feng was surrounded by Wang Liu, Zhou Jianjun, Han Ming, and a group of others.

They had all heard that Li Feng had gone to the cultural troupe.

So they all asked Li Feng curiously what had happened yesterday.

At this point, Li Feng could only briefly mention what happened yesterday, such as how the senior leader had asked for his opinion.

As for his role as a judge in selecting the lead singer, Li Feng didn't mention it.

After all, this was too unbelievable for Wang Liu and the others, so Li Feng didn't say anything.

Even so, they were still very surprised by what Li Feng had experienced yesterday.

At this moment, Zhou Jianjun couldn't help but ask Li Feng in surprise.

"Brother, you just said you actually met a big boss, you're really amazing."

"None of us in this group have ever seen a high-ranking leader."

When Zhou Jianjun finished speaking, Wang Liu and the others nodded in agreement.

"yes!".

“Jianjun is right. Even when someone from the ministry came to inspect, it wasn’t a high-ranking leader like him who came to the factory. We could only watch from afar.”

"I really envy you for being able to get so close to the leaders."

Upon hearing this, Li Feng waved his hand and said...

"Please don't say anything more."

"It was my first time meeting such a high-ranking leader, and I was so nervous."

“I went to bed very early when I got home yesterday.”

"This could be due to nervousness."

Li Feng said that on purpose.

After all, it's best to keep a low profile at this time.

When Li Feng finished speaking, Han Ming nodded in agreement.

"Yes! Brother Li Feng, you're right. I was almost scared to death when Director Wei came to our Xincai team last time."

"It's normal to be nervous when you meet such a high-ranking leader."

Han Ming's words were met with agreement from the crowd, especially considering their experience as apprentices and first-level workers.

The people I usually see are mostly mentors and team leaders, and the highest level they reach is director.

As for the factory leaders, you can only meet them when something major happens.

It's like when there's a factory-wide meeting, or when He Wei was arrested last time, that you can see the factory leaders.

Normally, the factory leaders are usually in the office building.

Therefore, they were quite surprised that Li Feng was able to meet such a high-ranking leader yesterday, a meeting they never dared to even dream of.
