Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Chapter 277 The Harvest!

Finally, after Li Feng took a group photo with the top three finishers and all the judges, the ceramic painting competition of this National Skills Competition came to a successful close.

Li Feng gained a lot from participating in the National Skills Competition this time. The first thing is that he has almost qualified for welfare housing. According to the announcement, Li Feng is eligible whether he is a level 4 young employee or wins a national competition ranking.

Therefore, Li Feng was absolutely confident about qualifying for welfare housing. Secondly, he had completed the system task and obtained the complete guide to CNC machine tool control system technology. Although this technology was currently useless, it would definitely be useful if he went to university and studied mechanical engineering.

This skill is still good, it's just that I can't use it right now. The third thing is that I have the opportunity to be promoted to level five in painting skills again.

Because Li Feng had personally heard Director Zhou say that as long as he got a ranking, he could be promoted, and that way, he would soon become a level 5 painter.

In that case, I'll quickly become a senior painter.

Although Director Zheng told him that he would transfer him to a higher position and promote him to a cadre, for now, obtaining a higher skill title would be a sure thing.

Moreover, if I become a level 5 painter, the department will recognize me as a junior arts and crafts master in the capital after a while.

The capital city is equivalent to a provincial level. If it were in Jiangxi Province, it would be roughly equivalent to a junior arts and crafts master in Jiangxi Province.

This list also includes Beijing arts and crafts masters, senior Beijing arts and crafts masters, and national arts and crafts masters.

Reaching the level of a National Arts and Crafts Master is pretty much the pinnacle.

There's no promotion.

Master Deng and Master Wang from Jingdezhen belong to this level.

However, later on, the department will need to conduct an assessment.

However, this assessment is basically just a formality, since people usually obtain skill levels first before being evaluated for technical titles.

Therefore, Li Feng will soon become a level 5 painter and a junior arts and crafts master in the capital.

Moreover, it's almost time to apply for professional titles, so Li Feng will also participate in the application process.

After taking the photos, Li Feng quickly rode his bicycle home.

The reason is simple: it's about to rain.

Li Feng didn't want to end up soaked to the bone.

Li Feng disliked this feeling.

By the time Li Feng returned to the courtyard house, it was almost six o'clock.

His lunch has long been digested, so Li Feng can only cook now.

After Li Feng pushed his bicycle home, he put his belongings down and then took his first-place certificate back to the factory to give to Director Zhou so that he could be promoted to a fifth-level painter.

However, Li Feng also knew that the factory would soon receive the news that he had won first place. But he would still have to take the certificate back to the factory as proof. At most, they would just take a photo for archiving. As for the certificate, he would eventually get it back himself.

Just as Li Feng was thinking about these things, he smelled the aroma of food coming from Sha Zhu's place by the window in front of his desk.

Li Feng's stomach started growling again.

At this moment, Li Feng touched his stomach, and then he went directly to Sha Zhu's house.

When Li Feng entered Sha Zhu's house, Sha Zhu had already cooked the dishes.

At this moment, Li Feng looked at the table in Sha Zhu's living room and then said to Sha Zhu.

"The food is alright!"

"The food has been pretty good lately."

Sha Zhu then placed the last dish on the table and said to Li Feng with a smile.

"Isn't the college entrance exam coming up soon?"

"That's why I made her something nice to eat."

Then he remembered something and couldn't help but ask Li Feng.

"Li Feng, are you taking the college entrance exam too?"

After hearing what Sha Zhu said, Li Feng nodded directly at Sha Zhu in response.

"yes!".

"I'm taking the college entrance exam too!"

"Like rainwater."

Then Li Feng looked at the dishes on the table. When Sha Zhu saw Li Feng's gaze, he immediately smiled and said to Li Feng.

"Let's eat together."

Li Feng didn't stand on ceremony at this moment. He rubbed his hands together and then smiled at Sha Zhu.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony."

Li Feng then sat down in the chair.

Li Feng was hungry and didn't want to cook, so since Sha Zhu had already prepared a meal, he decided to just eat at his place.

Sha Zhu didn't pay any attention to Li Feng's actions, and then he shouted at the door.

"Rain! Time to eat."

Soon, He Yushui's voice came from not far from the doorway.

"I'm coming right away."

He Yushui then quickly went from her room to Sha Zhu's living room.

When He Yushui saw Li Feng, she asked him in surprise.

"Brother Feng!"

"You actually came too."

"I remember you must have been very busy these past few days, right?"

After hearing He Yushui's words, Li Feng simply nodded in response.

"Why".

"This period has been very busy."

"There's always something going on at the factory, and now I have to deal with the college entrance exams. I'm never given a moment's rest."

After saying this, Li Feng couldn't help but sigh again.

Upon hearing this, He Yushui immediately asked Li Feng.

"Brother Feng, the college entrance exam is on July 20th, are you ready?"

"I don't know why, but I feel really panicked."

"What if I don't get into university?"

At this moment, Li Feng could also see that He Yushui's mentality was not very good.

After hearing He Yushui's words, Shazhu couldn't help but offer some advice to her.

"So what if you don't pass the exam? It's not a big deal."

"If you really can't pass the exam, I'll use my connections to get you a job at the steel rolling mill."

"Although I can't become a cadre, becoming a worker is still no problem."

At this moment, Li Feng simply smiled and said to Sha Zhu.

"Don't be in such a hurry. How do you know that Yushui won't get into university?"

"Let's talk about these things after the college entrance exams during the rainy season."

"It's too early to talk about these things now."

"What if I also fail the exam?"

When He Yushui heard Li Feng's words, she couldn't help but feel troubled.

“If you don’t pass the exam, at least you’ll still be a cadre. If I don’t pass, then I can only go to the steel rolling mill.”

Li Feng nodded, then asked Sha Zhu.

"Silly Pillar".

"Can you only work as a laborer in a steel rolling mill?"

"Can't you do something else? Like accounting or human resources or something."

"After all, Yu Shui went to high school."

"This amount of rain should be sufficient."

After listening to Li Feng's words, Sha Zhu simply shook his head at Li Feng.

"It's already quite difficult to get her into the factory as a worker these days."

"As for what you just mentioned about working as an accountant or in human resources in a government agency, that's too difficult."

"Unless you have connections with the factory leaders."

"However, if I bring this up with the factory leaders, they might not agree to it."

"These days, which young woman wouldn't want to work in a government office?"

"Take Qin Huairu from our department, for example. She's a woman, and she still has to look at the blueprints and make the parts!"

"What can she do?"

"She can't do anything!"

"But what can we do?"

"It's been a while now, and I heard from an old man that she hasn't made much progress!"

"I've been receiving an apprentice's salary, which I think is 27.5 yuan."

"But if rainwater gets into our steel rolling mill, I can at least get a job as a waiter."

"As for making parts, forget it." "That's too tiring."

"It's better to be a waiter."

The waiter that Sha Zhu mentioned is also a full-time employee.

The wages may be a little lower than those of other workers, but the job is much easier.

Therefore, Shazhu still feels sorry for his younger sister.

However, He Yushui frowned after hearing her brother's words.

"elder brother!".

"Is being a waiter the same as serving people?"

"If that's the case, then I won't do it."
"Brother, can you help me find another job?"

After He Yushui finished speaking, she couldn't help but start to act coquettishly towards Sha Zhu.

At this moment, Sha Zhu could only sigh to his sister.

"I also want you to work in a government office."

"But this requires the factory leaders' approval. If the factory leaders don't approve, then there's nothing I can do."

"If we assign a worker position, then there shouldn't be any major problem."

Seeing that her brother couldn't arrange the work of the organization, He Yushui could only sigh.

"If I don't get into university, I'll just become a waiter."

Then she seemed to be encouraging herself.

"I must get into university so that I can work in a government agency."

He Yushui is no longer as lacking in confidence as she was at the beginning.

This is probably reality.

If you don't have a job in Beijing, there's a high probability you'll go to the countryside.

There is no way around it.

Then He Yushui suddenly thought of something, and she couldn't help but ask Li Feng.

"Brother Feng!"

"If you get into university, will you still be a manager in the factory?"

After all, in He Yushui's view, if Li Feng were to get into university, the factory would probably not let him continue to serve as a cadre.

Upon hearing He Yushui's words, Li Feng was stunned for a moment before he began to explain to her.

"Oh, this!"

“The factory manager told me that if I’m at school and something happens at the factory, I still have to go to work at the factory.”

"The factory will help me ask the school for leave."

Sha Zhu asked Li Feng with some curiosity after hearing this.

"Huh?"

"Aren't you the team leader?"

"Does the team leader still have work to do?"

"Our steel rolling mill team leaders usually only need to assign tasks."

"It's very easy."

Li Feng shook his head at Sha Zhu at this moment.

"well".

“Our factory manager recently started a project and then conscripted me.”

"Now the factory director has promoted me directly to deputy director of the factory director's office, and now I have to do odd jobs in the factory director's office."

“I’m telling you.”

"My position as deputy director is just a menial job."

"You all know what kind of work is done in the office, right?"

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

"Could it be something like writing?"

Li Feng thought for a moment, then nodded to Sha Zhu and said.

"More or less."

"But it's harder than that."

“There are several deputy directors in our factory director’s office, each in charge of a whole host of things. I must have been specifically pulled in by the director to manage this project.”

Sha Zhu was surprised to find that Li Feng had become a deputy director again today, and was even in charge of a project. So he asked Li Feng in surprise.

"In that case, you'll get promoted, won't you?"

"So what level are you at now?"

At this moment, Sha Zhu was most concerned about what level Li Feng was at.

Li Feng was puzzled when he heard Sha Zhu's words. Logically speaking, Sha Zhu should not be interested in these things, so why was he interested in them now?

This puzzled Li Feng somewhat, but he still explained it to Sha Zhu.

"If I should say it."

"I'd say it's a deputy section chief position."

"According to the 24 administrative levels, it should be level 20 or level 19."

"But the factory manager just told me that not long ago, and I haven't been promoted yet."

"Once the documents are issued, it should be ready to be submitted."

"If I didn't take this deputy director position, my life would be much easier."

"At least when I didn't have to go to school, I could still go back to work in the factory."

When Sha Zhu heard this, he couldn't help but smile at Li Feng.

"Isn't this a sign that the leadership values ​​you?"

"If the leaders don't value you, how could they possibly promote you to deputy director?"

"And he was also the deputy director of the factory director's office."

"Brother, let me tell you, if you get promoted to deputy director, that would definitely be a good thing."

"The deputy director of our steel rolling mill's office is arrogant and domineering."

"Who wouldn't give him a second glance?"

"This is the person closest to the factory manager."

"If the deputy director is this capable, then the director must be even more so. With your young age, becoming a director is a sure thing for you."

At this moment, Sha Zhu had already figured out that Li Feng could become the director.

If you become a director, you'll be a well-known figure in the factory, and the leaders of various departments will generally give you face.

At least that's how Shazhu understands it.

As for Li Feng, he simply shook his head at Sha Zhu.

"It's not that easy!"

"Leadership positions are generally filled by one person per position."

"If you don't have connections, it'll be very difficult to get promoted."

"Besides, even if you don't have any connections, you still need to have a degree and talent, right?"

Do you think I have a degree now?

"Many cadres have worked in their departments for many years, even until retirement, and are still just staff members."

"Often, they'll give you the salary of a deputy section chief when you retire."

"So what you're saying isn't easy either."

Sha Zhu never expected that there would be so many twists and turns involved.

However, he still asked Li Feng, somewhat unwilling to give up.

"Then after you get into university, won't you have a degree?"

"In that case, wouldn't you have a chance to become the director?"

"And don't you know a high-ranking leader?"

Li Feng was speechless at this point.

Even if I have a degree, I can only wait until later, since I haven't taken the college entrance exam yet!

As for knowing the high-ranking leader, that was purely a coincidence.

Minister Feng is such a busy person, how could he possibly remember me?

No matter how Li Feng thought about it, he felt that Minister Feng must have forgotten about him.

Moreover, although Minister Feng gave me his office phone number, I never contacted him.

So, it's not certain whether Minister Feng even remembers me!
