Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Chapter 285 Meeting the Big Leader
When Li Feng saw the minister's office, he was still very surprised.

However, this was Li Feng's first time visiting the office of such a high-ranking leader, although he had met Minister Feng before at the cultural troupe.

But he had only ever seen that in the performing arts troupe; this was the first time Li Feng had ever seen it in an office like this.

At this moment, Li Feng was still very excited to see that Director Zheng had led him to Minister Jiang's office.

After all, Minister Jiang is arguably the highest-ranking superior in the hierarchy.

Currently, Li Feng is already a deputy section-level cadre at Wuxing Ceramics Factory, which is a state-owned enterprise under the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

In terms of the company, the department belongs to the group, while the Five Star Ceramics Factory seems to be a non-independent branch.

Just as Li Feng was still thinking about these things, Director Zheng knocked on the door of Minister Jiang's office.

However, Li Feng felt that the knocking sound was quite rhythmic.

At this moment, Li Feng couldn't help but wonder if there was something hidden here.

At that moment, Minister Jiang's calm voice came from his office.

"Come in.".

Only after hearing Minister Jiang's voice did Director Zheng turn the doorknob and open the door.

After Director Zheng opened the door to Minister Jiang's office, Director Zheng led Li Feng into Minister Jiang's office.

After Li Feng entered Minister Jiang's office, Factory Director Zheng led Li Feng to Minister Jiang.

At this moment, Director Zheng saw Minister Jiang processing documents, so he approached Minister Jiang's desk and then smiled and whispered to Minister Jiang.

"Minister Jiang".

"I brought Li Feng with me."

"The plan report I submitted to you last time was drafted by Li Feng according to my ideas."

"There are also some detailed issues that he is aware of."

After Minister Jiang heard what Factory Director Zheng said, he stopped what he was doing, then raised his head and looked at Li Feng.

Director Zheng had known about Li Feng's situation for a long time.

Whether it's Li Feng's ceramic paintings, his songs, or the report on the industrialization of this ceramic factory.

Minister Jiang knows all of this.

Even Minister Jiang had to admit that Li Feng was a talented person. From any perspective, Minister Jiang believed that Li Feng was a talented person.

Minister Jiang read Li Feng's reform plan for the ceramics factory twice.

He believed that Li Feng's report had a good approach.

Moreover, it is feasible.

Minister Jiang also convened an internal meeting regarding this reform report.

Currently, there is a relatively unified opinion internally, meaning that it can be implemented.

Therefore, Minister Jiang would like to ask Li Feng some detailed questions now. Previously, Minister Jiang had asked Director Zheng some questions about the industrialization plan.

However, Minister Jiang felt that something was missing.

So Minister Jiang then asked Xiao Zheng to invite the writer over.

When Minister Jiang saw Li Feng, he nodded to Li Feng and then smiled as he asked him a question.

"You must be Li Feng?"

“Although I already knew you were young, seeing it with my own eyes is a different story. Master Deng told me before that you have a great talent for painting.”

"That's what I thought at the time too."

"Now you have made a plan report on the industrialization of the ceramics factory, but before you made this plan report, I thought you not only had a talent for painting, but also a certain talent for management."

"So I signed your transfer report."

However, the facts speak for themselves.

"My judgment is not flawed."

"I would like to hear your explanation regarding certain parts of this report."

After listening to his words, Li Feng finally understood why he had been able to successfully transfer to another department.

However, Minister Jiang is right. Without his signature, I really couldn't get promoted.

At this moment, Li Feng immediately thanked Minister Jiang in front of him.

"Minister Jiang, thank you for your trust."

"After my transfer, I will dedicate myself to the ceramics industry with the utmost enthusiasm."

Minister Jiang was very satisfied with what Li Feng said.

After all, Minister Jiang previously thought Li Feng was a talent for painting porcelain, then he thought Li Feng was a talent for music, and now he thinks Li Feng is a talent for management.

Previously, when Li Feng had composed two songs, Minister Feng asked about Li Feng, implying that he wanted to transfer Li Feng over.

Minister Jiang replied that he agreed in principle, but would seek Li Feng's personal opinion.

In the end, Minister Jiang heard that Li Feng had apparently refused.

This made Minister Jiang think even more highly of Li Feng.

At this moment, Minister Jiang nodded to Li Feng with satisfaction.

"Hmm! Very good."

"I hope you will contribute to the ceramics factory in the future."

Li Feng nodded to Minister Jiang, and then began to ask him questions.

"Minister Jiang, is there anything you don't understand?"

"Shall I tell you?"

Minister Jiang heard this and then nodded to Li Feng.

"The primary goal of industrializing ceramic factories is to improve production efficiency."

"Your research on efficiency involves using an assembly line model for production and processing."

"But that's not wrong either. Regarding the machinery and equipment used for ceramic production, you chose to use a modification plan."

"What are your plans?"

At this point, Director Zheng also wanted to hear the detailed process.

When Li Feng reported to him last time, he probably only heard a brief summary.

of course!

The goals for the industrialization of ceramics were my own ideas.

Regarding some details, Li Feng seemed to have considered things in more detail than I had.

At that time, he thought that if Li Feng could help him, he would definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort. In fact, Director Zheng's choice was not wrong.

Li Feng quickly produced a satisfactory answer sheet for himself.

But the main goal now is to get this report approved by the ministry and then implement the project.

This is the most important thing.

As for other things, they are secondary.

This is what Director Zheng currently believes.

Just as Director Zheng was thinking about these things, Li Feng finally began to answer Minister Jiang.

"Regarding the design of the ceramic machinery, I drew two sketches from a practical perspective."

As soon as Li Feng finished speaking, he took the diagram out of his pocket.

However, the sketch that Li Feng mentioned was indeed just a sketch.

It was just something Li Feng drew casually for fun.

However, the basic drawing and mechanical results are still clearly labeled.

This is a five-unit machine designed by Li Feng for pouring syrup into a bowl.

If this is done well, we can basically achieve a certain level of mass production.

Of course, a bowl is the simplest thing, but many things start from the simplest.

So Li Feng began to introduce the sketches he had drawn.

Factory Director Zheng was surprised. How could Li Feng draw mechanical diagrams? He hadn't even been admitted to university yet.
So he learned all the university material?

About half an hour later, Li Feng finished explaining the machinery he had designed to Minister Jiang.

At this moment, Minister Jiang asked Li Feng.

"Can the machine made from this blueprint be used?"

At this moment, Li Feng immediately nodded to Minister Jiang.

"It will definitely work."

"You can rest assured."

Minister Jiang thought for a moment, then said to Li Feng.

"Keep this drawing here."

"I will see a specialist in the next few days."

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

Although it's just a sketch, it basically has everything that's needed, which is why Li Feng is so confident.

Minister Jiang then asked Li Feng a few more questions, which Li Feng answered one by one.

Minister Jiang was very satisfied with Li Feng's answer.

Next, Minister Jiang asked Director Zheng about the coordination issues of this plan. Director Zheng was quite confident in this regard, so he explained to Minister Jiang the preparations he had made and the work he would be pushing forward.

Then Director Zheng began to speak to Director Zheng.

"Alright!"

"I see".

"You can go back now."

"I'll hold another meeting in the ministry to discuss this further."

As for what happens next, Li Feng is not at a position to hear about it.

So Li Feng could only wait outside.

Just as Li Feng was waiting for Director Zheng, Wu Na arrived at Minister Jiang's office.

When she saw Li Feng, she was very surprised.

Then she asked Li Feng with some surprise.

"What are you doing standing here?"

Li Feng answered Wu Na directly.

"Nothing happened?"

"I just came out of Minister Jiang's office. Minister Jiang is talking to Director Zheng right now."

Then Li Feng couldn't help but ask Wu Na.

"Then what are you doing here?"

Wu Na then answered Li Feng directly.

"Me...?"

"I'm here to deliver the budget report."

"This budget report is also related to your factory!"

"It looks like some kind of industrial budget report."

When Li Feng heard this, he asked Wu Na in surprise.

"What?".

"Could it be a budget report for the industrialization of ceramics?"

After hearing Li Feng's words, Wu Na nodded to him, seemingly in a daze.

"It seems to be this one."

"However, I haven't seen this report either."

"Our department head had me deliver it directly."

Upon hearing this, Li Feng asked Wu Na with some confusion.

"Why are you the only one delivering it?"

Wu Na said to Li Feng in a somewhat annoyed tone.

"I was all alone in the office at the time, what could I do?"

"I'm feeling really bad too."

Then Wu Na asked Li Feng.

"By the way, how long have Minister Jiang and Factory Director Zheng been talking?"

Li Feng glanced at the clock outside, then answered Wu Na directly.

"It's been almost an hour since I came out."

When Wu Na heard this, she couldn't help but sigh.

"never mind!".

"Then I'll wait here a little longer."

After hearing Wu Na's words, Li Feng asked her with some confusion.

"Aren't you going to knock before you come in?"

Wu Na rolled her eyes at Li Feng.

"Didn't you just say there was a conversation inside?"

"If I knock on the door and go in, wouldn't that be asking for a scolding?"

Li Feng asked Wu Na with some confusion.

"You get scolded too?"

Wu Na was somewhat speechless.

"certainly!".

"Isn't it normal to get scolded when you work in a government office?"

"So you have to be a little more clever."

"Look at me! I rarely get scolded by my boss."

As Wu Na spoke, a proud smile appeared on her face.

However, Li Feng was secretly cursing in his heart.

Your boss and Minister Jiang must have done this because of your uncle or parents.

However, Li Feng did not say these words aloud.

Next, Li Feng chatted with Wu Na.

The topic of their conversation was the recent college entrance examination.

After all, this is a relatively hot topic recently.

Just as the two were chatting, Director Zheng suddenly opened the door.

When he saw Li Feng chatting with Wu Na, he was taken aback.

He then looked at Wu Na and asked her a question.

"Who are you?".

After hearing what Director Zheng said, Wu Na answered him directly.

"I am Wu Na from the Second Finance Department."

Only then did Director Zheng remember who Wu Na was, and he then asked Wu Na.

"Did you come to our ceramics factory to check the accounts?"

Wu Na smiled and nodded to Director Zheng.

"yes.".

At this moment, Director Zheng smiled and said to Wu Na.

"You must be looking for Minister Jiang, right?"

Wu Na nodded in response.

"Yes..".

Factory Director Zheng looked behind the door, then said to Wu Na.

"Go in."

Wu Na didn't stand on ceremony at this point. She knocked on the door and prepared to go in.

Factory Director Zheng then took Li Feng to the car that would take them back to the ceramics factory.

On the way back, Director Zheng suddenly asked Li Feng a question.

"You know Wu Na, right?"

Li Feng didn't expect that Director Zheng would ask him this question, and then he answered Director Zheng directly.

"We had worked together before."

At this moment, Director Zheng asked Li Feng with some curiosity.

"At work?"

"Was your previous job related to finance?"

Next, Li Feng told Director Zheng about his songwriting experience.

Only then did Director Zheng realize why Li Feng knew Wu Na.

At this moment, Director Zheng suddenly said to Li Feng.

"If you work in a government agency, it's good to know some people. That way, you won't be completely lost when you need to do things at the ministry later."

"But Wu Na is only in her early twenties, right? How did she become a section chief so quickly?"

"He is indeed extraordinary."

When Director Zheng got to this point, he couldn't help but sigh.

As for Li Feng, he had only just learned that Wu Na had been promoted to section chief. However, Li Feng was a little confused at the moment, wondering if Director Zheng was familiar with Wu Na.
How did he know that Wu Na was the section chief?
Could it be that Director Zheng habitually removes the word "deputy" from his name?
Li Feng thought about it and felt that this was possible.

At this moment, Director Zheng was in a pretty good mood.

Just now at the ministry, Minister Jiang told Factory Director Zheng that as long as Li Feng's design drawings are fine, the ministry will fully support Factory Director Zheng's efforts to promote the industrialization of ceramics.

If that's the case, then achieving some results shouldn't be a problem.

Therefore, Director Zheng had a smile on his face.
