Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Chapter 213 Li Feng, you're too modest. I've seen the photo of you with the big boss.
Although Li Feng had explained these things to them before, they didn't believe him at all, so Li Feng is too lazy to explain now.

However, Li Feng was simply too lazy to explain whether he was a cadre or not.

However, Li Feng felt he needed to explain his close relationship with Leader Feng, so he explained to everyone present.

"I've only met the top leaders in the publicity department when I was working."

"But the top leader and I are not familiar with each other."

After Li Feng finished speaking, Zou Bin and the driver, Brother Sun, had some questions, since Sha Zhu had just explained it so clearly.

So they don't know who is telling the truth.

However, Li Feng is in frequent contact with the ministry now, so this matter is indeed true. Therefore, the two of them still tend to believe that what Sha Zhu said is true.

Just as they were thinking about these things, Sha Zhu smiled at Li Feng.

"Brother Li Feng, you are too modest. The top leaders of the publicity department had their staff deliver your group photo to your home. I was the one who received the photo from them."

"In the very center of the photo, you are standing with a high-ranking leader wearing a Zhongshan suit, and there are many retired military cadres next to you."

"The top leader is standing with you, how could you not be familiar with him?"

After Sha Zhu finished speaking, Zou Bin and the driver, Brother Sun, exchanged glances, their hearts churning like a stormy sea.

Although they knew beforehand that Li Feng might be familiar with the leaders in the department, they did not expect that Li Feng was also familiar with the top leaders in other departments.

And this is a high-ranking leader.

They couldn't even meet with ordinary leaders from the Ministry of Light Industry, let alone high-ranking leaders.

Li Feng not only met with the leaders of the department, but also with the top leaders of the publicity department. How could they not be surprised?
Just as the two of them were in shock.

At this point, Ajik couldn't help but ask Zou Bin a question out of curiosity.

"How high is the rank of the head of the publicity department?"

Ajik had no concept of these things because she had never been exposed to them.

When Zou Bin heard what Ajik said, Ajik's voice quickly brought Zou Bin back to reality, and then Zou Bin began to explain for Ajik.

"Very big."

"Very large".

After hearing Zou Bin's words, Ajik was somewhat bewildered, and then she asked Zou Bin curiously.

"Is he older than our regimental commander?"

After all, in Ajik's heart, the head of the Beijing Dance Troupe was the most important person, even more important than the village chief in Ajik's village.

Upon hearing Ajik's words, Zou Bin immediately explained to Ajik.

"certainly.".

"Of course he's higher than your guild leader, and many ranks higher too."

When Ajik heard Zou Bin say that the big leader was even more powerful than the dance troupe's director, she couldn't help but gape.

After all, for Ajik, the head of the dance troupe was already the highest-ranking leader.

But she never expected that Li Feng would know a leader who was even more powerful than the head of the dance troupe.

This made her somewhat incredulous.

of course!

Ajik wasn't the only one in disbelief; Wen Hui, Sha Zhu's girlfriend, was also extremely surprised. She had worked at the steel rolling mill for a while, so she understood a little about the difference between high and low official positions.

Although she didn't know exactly how high-ranking the leader was, he was definitely higher than the county magistrate, because Wenhui knew that the deputy director of their factory was at a similar level to the deputy county magistrate, and the deputy director of the factory would serve people from the ministry very carefully.

That person must have grown up more than the deputy county head.

Therefore, Wen Hui naturally knew this, which is why she was very surprised at this moment.

Previously, Sha Zhu said that his brother Li Feng knew a high-ranking leader, but she never expected that Sha Zhu's brother Li Feng would know such a high-ranking leader, and at a level she dared not even imagine.

She now believes that the high-ranking officials Li Feng knows are at least higher than the county magistrate.

Just then, Wenhui's father tugged at her sleeve. Feeling someone pulling her, Wenhui looked at her father.

Then she asked her father with some confusion.

"dad".

"What's wrong?".

At this moment, Wenhui's father began to ask Wenhui in a low voice.

"How high-ranking is the big boss that Sha Zhu's brother knows?"

Wenhui was surprised that her father would ask her this question, so she began to answer him.

"He's even more senior than the county magistrate in our county."

When Wenhui's father heard his daughter say that Shazhu's brother, Li Feng, knew a high-ranking official who was even more powerful than the county magistrate, he could hardly believe his ears.

So at this moment, he asked Wenhui again to confirm.

"What did you just say? That you're more important than our county magistrate?"

"How does this brother Shazhu know such a high-ranking official?"

Because Wenhui's father couldn't quite believe what Wenhui had just said.

After all, in Wenhui's father's eyes, even the township head was a big deal, but to his surprise, Shazhu's brother knew an official who was even higher than the county head.

I knew I hadn't misjudged my daughter.

Sha Zhu has a good job and knows so many impressive people, so he can finally say he has a secure future.

In the past, Wenhui's parents were afraid that they would be bullied by the villagers if they didn't have a son. Now that they have such a good son-in-law, Wenhui's father is no longer afraid.

So Wenhui's father started talking to his wife about it.

When Wenhui's mother learned that Shazhu's brother knew a leader with an even higher status than he did now, she became even more satisfied with Shazhu as her son-in-law.

After all, Wenhui's mother had seen Shazhu's workplace with her own eyes, and she also knew Shazhu's status in the factory canteen.

If you're the head chef in the cafeteria, you'll never have to worry about not having enough to eat.
Then his daughter would definitely not go hungry.

The most frustrated person right now is Li Erniu. Now that he knows that Shazhu's brother is a cadre and knows a high-ranking leader, he feels even worse.

At that moment, he just wanted to leave as soon as possible.

He felt very uncomfortable staying here.

He felt an overwhelming sadness, especially when Wenhui leaned against Shazhu, which made him feel even worse.

This was practically the death of him.

Seeing everyone whispering, Li Feng knew that explaining anything now would be useless.

Sometimes rumors can be really scary.

Even if the person involved were to explain, it would be useless.

I just said that I have nothing to do with the big leaders in the publicity department, so how do I explain this photo?

Moreover, Sha Zhu just said that he even took a group photo with the big boss.

What else can I say?

So Li Feng simply stopped talking and focused on eating.

Next

The food that Sha Zhu ordered arrived quickly.

At this moment, most of the people present were eating their food and toasting Li Feng.

Because most people present believed that Li Feng had a bright future.

They are at least much better than them.

However, Ajik didn't care about these things. After all, she was still a fifteen-year-old child and not yet an adult, so she didn't understand these things.

She was quite interested in the food at that moment.

At this moment, she picked up the braised pork intestines with her chopsticks and began to eat them in large bites.

Ajik smacked his lips as he ate.

"It's delicious."

At this moment, Li Feng watched Ajik eating pork, and couldn't help but ask Ajik a question with some curiosity.

"Can you eat pork?"

Ajik was stunned by Li Feng's words, and then she asked him curiously, "Can you eat it?"

"What's wrong?".

Li Feng couldn't help but ask Ajik out of curiosity.

"Don't you not eat pork where you're from?"

After hearing Li Feng's question, Ajik shook her head and answered him.

"It's just that some people can't eat pork."

"In our area, pork is a rare treat."

"And it's not something you can eat whenever you want."

"But this pig intestine is even better than the one cooked by our best cook, Azaxi."

"And it tastes even better than what we eat in the cafeteria in Beijing, although we rarely get meat in our cafeteria."

At first, Li Feng thought that Ajik could only eat beef and not pork, but to Li Feng's surprise, Ajik could actually eat pork.

At this moment, Li Feng apologized to Ajik, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

"I thought you could only eat beef where you're from. Turns out you can eat pork."

After hearing Li Feng's apologetic words, Ajik shook her head and explained.

“Our village is relatively small, and no one in our village practices Islam, so we can eat it. However, let alone beef, even pork is scarce in our village. When I was in the village, we only ate it once or twice a year.”

When Ajik said this, Wenhui also agreed.

"It's the same in our village. We can only eat pork during the Spring Festival. We can't eat such good food at other times."

Upon hearing Wen Hui's words, Sha Zhu couldn't help but hug her waist, and then said with some heartache.

"Huihui, I promise I'll make sure you can eat meat often from now on, I promise."

Wenhui looked at Shazhu with a sweet expression as she listened to his promise.

After all, Wenhui felt that Shazhu was very good to her.

Next

Satiated
As for settling the bill, Zou Bin had already paid it before the meal.

When they arrived at the door, Sha Zhu immediately said that he would take Wen Hui, his father-in-law, and his mother-in-law back.

Li Feng, of course, had no objection to this.

After all, Sha Zhu is at a critical juncture right now, so Li Feng hopes that Sha Zhu can handle this matter well.

So Li Feng immediately nodded to Sha Zhu and replied.

"Alright, then you should take good care of your father-in-law and mother-in-law."

Afterwards, Li Feng felt that he should give some money to Sha Zhu's father-in-law, since Sha Zhu had said during the meal that he was his brother who had grown up with him since childhood.

Li Feng happened to have twenty yuan in his pocket, so he took out all twenty yuan from his pocket.

So he directly stuffed the twenty yuan into the hand of Sha Zhu's father-in-law.

At this moment, Li Feng began to speak to Sha Zhu's father-in-law.

"uncle.".

"Shazhu and I are good buddies who grew up together. I never expected to run into you guys today."

"So I didn't buy a gift, so please accept this money."

Wenhui's father did not expect Li Feng to slip money into his hands, so he immediately declined.

"How can this be allowed?"

After hearing what Wen Hui's father said, Li Feng quickly tried to persuade him.

"This is just a small token of our appreciation as juniors, so please accept it."

When Li Feng got to this point, he couldn't help but give Sha Zhu a wink.

After Sha Zhu understood what Li Feng meant, he immediately tried to persuade his father-in-law.

"dad".

"This is all from my brother's heartfelt wishes."

"Please accept it."

“If you don’t accept it, then you’re not acknowledging me as your brother.”

Seeing that Sha Zhu had said so, Wen Hui's father had no choice but to accept it.

After seeing Wen Hui's father accept the money, Li Feng smiled and said to Wen Hui's parents.

"Then, let Sha Zhu take you back."

Then Li Feng looked at Sha Zhu and gave him some instructions.

"Brother, you absolutely must take good care of your father-in-law."

After hearing Li Feng's words, Sha Zhu responded with a smile.

"Of course."

"I will definitely take good care of my father-in-law."

After Li Feng nodded to Sha Zhu, he got into the car with Ajik, Zou Bin, and the others.

The priority now is to get Ajik back.

After all, Ajik was invited out to dinner by himself and Zou Bin.

Therefore, Li Feng is still responsible for sending Ajik back.

At this moment, Ajik smiled and said to Li Feng and Zou Bin from inside the car.

"This is the first time I've ever eaten at a restaurant outside today."

"The food here is absolutely delicious."

Upon hearing what Ajik said, Zou Bin couldn't help but smile and reply to Ajik.

"If you like it, I'll treat you to it next time."

However, Ajik shook his head at Zou Bin, indicating his refusal.

"Then let's not."

"Don't you have a saying here, 'One should not accept rewards without merit'?"

"So I don't need you to treat me."

"I am here today to show you the dances of our Western Xinjiang region."

"There probably won't be another chance next time."

At this moment, Li Feng listened to Ajik's words and felt that what she was saying was not quite like a child's.

However, Li Feng still smiled and nodded to Ajik.

"It's fine".

"Even if we don't have a working relationship anymore, we can still be considered friends."

Zou Bin nodded in agreement.

"yes.".

"From now on, we'll be friends."

"If you encounter any difficulties in the capital in the future, you can come to us for advice."

"Would we lie to a little girl like you?"

At this moment, Ajik tilted his head, seemingly wondering if what Zou Bin said was true.

At this moment, Ajik looked at Li Feng, and then she felt that her brother Li Feng would not lie to her, after all, her brother Li Feng looked about the same age as her.

So Ajik nodded to Zou Bin and said.

"Oh well".

"From now on, I'm friends with Uncle Zou Bin and Brother Li Feng."

However, Ajik's words made Zou Bin feel inexplicably strange.
