Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Chapter 253 Preparing for the Asahi Shiroi Group
Li Feng didn't do much in the morning. After all, he was preparing for the new Qianjiangcai group, so he needed to think about some things. Also, Master Deng didn't assign him any tasks in the morning.

So Li Feng basically rested in the morning.

After all, for Li Feng, the most important thing right now is to establish the Qianjiangcai Group.

Just as Li Feng was thinking about these things, Zhang Jiefang and Jiang Fei asked him for advice on some difficult points in portrait painting.

Li Feng has considerable experience in portrait painting techniques.

Previously, Li Feng had drawn many national projects, some of which used portrait painting techniques. So, Li Feng began to explain some difficult points to the two of them, such as the use of light and shadow, frankincense oil, and one-time coloring, etc. Li Feng told them all.

After receiving guidance from Li Feng, the two continued drawing.

Time flew by and it was noon. After having lunch with the Xin Cai team, Li Feng returned to the Xin Cai team.

When Li Feng returned to the new color team, he was told that Assistant Han was waiting for him in Director Zhou's office.

So Li Feng quickly arrived at Director Zhou's office.

At this moment, Assistant Han was sitting opposite Director Zhou, chatting with him.

When Director Zhou and Assistant Han saw Li Feng arrive, Director Zhou greeted him warmly with a smile.

"Little Li!"

"You've arrived."

"Sit down, sit down."

After saying this, Director Zhou prepared to get up and pour water for Li Feng.

When Li Feng saw that Director Zhou wanted to pour him some water, he quickly walked over to the thermos, then took it to the table where Director Zhou and Assistant Han were sitting and refilled their water bottles.

Li Feng then poured himself a glass of water.

As Director Zhou watched Li Feng's actions, he couldn't help but compare them with his own son, Zhou Jianjun. He then realized that the gap between his son and Li Feng was simply too great, whether in their careers or other matters; there was simply no comparison.

Fortunately, his son had a good relationship with Li Feng.

When Director Zhou thought of this, he couldn't help but smile at Li Feng.

"Li Feng!"

"Excellent! Excellent!"

"Now you are the leader of the new color group, and now you need to take on the responsibilities of the leader!"

"Assistant Han specifically contacted you to coordinate the preparations for the new color group."

Then Director Zhou turned his gaze to Assistant Han.

At this moment, Assistant Han stood up and couldn't help but smile at Li Feng.

"Li Feng, congratulations!"

"Congratulations on your promotion to team leader!"

"No."

"After receiving Director Wei's order, I came to you immediately to coordinate this matter."

"What are your thoughts on preparing for the Asahi Shimae group?"

At this moment, Li Feng apologized to Assistant Han.

"Assistant Han, thank you so much."

At this moment, Assistant Han simply shook his head at Li Feng and said...

"You have such a heavy burden on your shoulders, the leader just sent me here to share some of the pressure for you!"

"The Asahi Shimata Group is still in its early stages, and there are many things waiting for you to handle, so..."

"Feel free to share your thoughts with me and Director Zhou, and we will assist you."

After saying this, Assistant Han looked at Director Zhou again.

At this moment, Director Zhou couldn't help but smile and nod at Li Feng.

"Li Feng, just say what you're thinking. We're all family here."

Only then did Li Feng speak to the two of them.

"Regarding the construction of the Asahi Shimae group, I have some immature and superficial opinions."

"The biggest problem in preparing for the Asahi Shimae group is manpower. If it's just me, it will definitely be difficult to complete the preparations."

After hearing Li Feng's words, Director Zhou and Assistant Han both nodded involuntarily.

Because they felt that Li Feng was right; manpower was indeed a big problem when setting up a team.

At this moment, Assistant Han thought for a moment and then said to Li Feng.

"This is indeed a big problem. As you said, we don't have enough manpower, so many things can't be done!"

"How about this?"

"Regarding personnel, I will coordinate with the personnel department."

"That's right!"

"Can you estimate how many people you'll need?"

After thinking for a moment, Li Feng immediately replied to Assistant Han.

"For the 'Assorted Colors' group, I've tentatively decided on six people, including myself."

"My idea is that the light color painting group is a newly established painting genre, which can be considered a branch of pastel painting."

“Anyone with a foundation in pastel painting should be able to adapt to painting light ochre with a little effort. Therefore, this type of painting does not require a large scale from the beginning, so six people are enough!”

"If the business improves in the future, we can transfer people from the famille rose or antique porcelain departments at any time."

After listening to Li Feng's reasons, Director Zhou and Assistant Han both felt that Li Feng's words made a lot of sense, so they nodded to Li Feng.

"Um!".

"The reasons are very valid!"

"Regarding personnel issues, I will coordinate with the personnel department. As for personnel, just as you said, we will send out applications of interest from pastel painters or ancient polychrome painters."

"The range is from apprentice to first-level painter."

"You'll be in charge of the evaluation then."

Upon hearing what Assistant Han said, Li Feng couldn't help but thank him.

"Thank you for your help, Assistant Han."

At this moment, Assistant Han simply shook his head at Li Feng and said...

"I'm doing this to ease the burden on my superiors."

When Assistant Han got to this point, he immediately took out his notebook and began to write down the things he needed to coordinate with HR.

After he finished recording these things, Director Zhou suddenly spoke to the two of them.

"Regarding the issue of the site, Deputy Factory Director Zhu mentioned it to me last time. He plans to allocate the vacant area in the northeast of our painting workshop's new color group to the light color group."

Li Feng didn't expect that Deputy Factory Director Zhu would directly designate the area of ​​the Light Color Group next to the New Color Group, which would save him the trouble of running around.

Assistant Han had no objection to this, since he was only helping to coordinate and implement the plan; he did not have the authority to specifically divide the areas.

After Assistant Han finished recording these things, he couldn't help but speak to Li Feng and Director Zhou.

"How about this?"

"At three o'clock in the afternoon, I went to find the logistics support department to mark the boundaries of the newly established area."

"I will get this done as soon as possible."

"And one more thing!"

"Li Feng, please write down a list of the tables, horse posts, and other necessary items you need and send it to me. I will urge the logistics department to get the items over here as soon as possible."

After listening to Assistant Han's words, Li Feng immediately nodded in response.

"it is good!".

"I'll get it done as soon as possible."

After the three of them had discussed their options, they split up and began to take action.

Director Zhou was in charge of coordinating matters within the painting workshop, while Assistant Han was in charge of coordinating other departments within the factory. As for Li Feng, he was in charge of calculating the necessary items.

These things are very important, and although you can apply for them again later, that would mean going through the process all over again.

That would be very troublesome, so it's better to do it all at once, that would be better.

So Li Feng started referring to the situation of the new color group and then filled out the material application list.

Since Li Feng had never done these things before, he checked the configuration of the Light Color Group while filling out the material application list.

By the time Li Feng finished filling out the forms, it was already past five o'clock. After completing the form, Li Feng immediately handed it to Assistant Han, who then said to him...

"The logistics support department said that we'll go to the area designated by Deputy Factory Director Zhu to draw lines tomorrow."

"So keep an eye on things these next couple of days."

"I will coordinate the items on the list as soon as possible."

After Assistant Han finished speaking with Li Feng, he went to attend to other tasks assigned by Factory Director Wei.

Looking at Assistant Han's busy figure, Li Feng couldn't help but sigh!
The factory manager's assistant is really busy.

Seeing that it was almost time, Li Feng went to the cafeteria for lunch.

Anyway, these things can't be finished in one day, so it's better to eat first and then talk about them.

After Li Feng finished eating at the factory.

Li Feng then returned to the workshop, where he found only a few people working overtime. He packed up his things and rode his bike home.

Since I can't finish it all anyway, I might as well continue tomorrow.

So Li Feng spent about twenty minutes riding his bike home.

When Li Feng returned home, his two uncles were sitting at the door chatting.

When they saw Li Feng return, they began to greet him.

"Li Feng, you're back!"

I haven't seen you for the entire month.

Li Feng simply nodded slightly in response to the two old men.

"I just got back these past two days."

At this moment, an old man said to Li Feng.

"There's a hospital-wide meeting tomorrow, I'm just letting you know."

Li Feng was taken aback for a moment, so he couldn't help but ask the old man what was wrong.

An old man then said to Li Feng.

"The neighborhood committee and the police station require each courtyard to talk about community-based crime prevention and control."

"You must come then. The security guard will also be there to explain these things in person."

Upon hearing this, Li Feng nodded to the old man.

"OK!".

"I see".

"Then I'll go in first."

The old man then nodded to Li Feng and said.

"Go..."

After Li Feng went inside, the second uncle immediately spoke to the first uncle.

"Why are you making such a fuss about the streets?"

"Won't we be the ones who are exhausted in the end?"

The old man looked at the second old man and sighed.

"This time, Director Wang and the security guards will be coming. People from several nearby compounds will be listening."

"I didn't want to go through all this trouble, but there was no other way, was there?"

Then the eldest uncle asked the second uncle.

"Xu Damao said at the factory today, isn't Li Feng going to be promoted?"

"Li Feng, you're getting more and more impressive."

After hearing what the eldest uncle said, the second uncle nodded to the eldest uncle.

"yes!".

"They are indeed getting more and more impressive."

"Otherwise, how could he know so many leaders in the military and ministries?"

Then he couldn't help but think of his eldest son, and then he sighed.

"If only my eldest son were as lucky as Li Feng!"

“My eldest son is a very capable person.”

"I still haven't become a cadre!"

The old man didn't know how to comfort the second old man, since he had no son.

the other side

When Li Feng pushed his bicycle to the courtyard, he noticed that the door to Sha Zhu's house was open, so he simply parked his bicycle in front of Sha Zhu's house.

Li Feng then went directly into Sha Zhu's house. There, he saw Sha Zhu cooking, while He Yushui was doing her homework.

He Yushui, who was sitting in the living room, quickly saw Li Feng and then said to him with some surprise.

"Brother Feng!"

"You're back!"

"My brother told me you were back, but I didn't believe it. Turns out it was true."

After hearing He Yushui's words, Li Feng smiled at her and replied.

"I came back the day before yesterday."

However, He Yushui asked Li Feng with some doubt.

"Why didn't I see you when I came home from school yesterday?"

Li Feng then began to explain to He Yushui.

"I had to go out, so I came back quite late."

The sound of He Yushui and Li Feng chatting quickly reached Sha Zhu. At that moment, Sha Zhu walked out of the kitchen and saw Li Feng standing at the door chatting with Yushui.

At this moment, Sha Zhu greeted Li Feng warmly.

"I cooked today, let's have a drink together."

However, Li Feng shook his head at Sha Zhu and said...

"I've already eaten at the factory."

Sha Zhu heard Li Feng say that he had already eaten, but he still tried to persuade Li Feng.

"What's the big deal if we've already eaten?"

"Let's just have a drink, you can have some food."

At this moment, He Yushui nodded to Li Feng and said.

"That's right!"

"Brother Feng, it's been a long time since you've eaten at my house."

After hearing what the two siblings said, Li Feng had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

Then Li Feng said to He Yuzhu.

"Alright!"

"I'll go put the bicycle at home, and I'll also bring you the tableware and tea set I promised to bring you."

When Sha Zhu heard that Li Feng was going to bring over the tableware and tea set, he immediately shook his head at Li Feng.

“Now that we’re here, how can I let you move in?”

Then Sha Zhu spoke directly to He Yushui.

"Rain, go stir-fry the vegetables a couple of times, don't let them stick to the pan."

After hearing Sha Zhu's instructions, He Yushui quickly went to the kitchen to cook.

When Sha Zhu saw that his sister had gone to cook, he followed Li Feng home to move the porcelain.

Soon, Sha Zhu moved the porcelain from Li Feng's house to his own.

After moving the porcelain, Sha Zhu asked Li Feng how much he had spent on it.

In the end, Li Feng only charged Sha Zhu 75 yuan, the cost price, and didn't charge him a penny more.
