Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Chapter 291: Eternal glory?

On the way home, Director Zheng asked Li Feng many questions about the management of the ceramics factory's industrialization construction, even though Li Feng had never worked on such a project.

However, Li Feng was still very familiar with the management processes of later generations, so he directly brought out the 6S system management from later generations. This kind of management system has relatively mature experience, and as long as it is strictly implemented, there will be no problems. This is the key to execution.

Therefore, as long as the management system is designed well, there will be no problem.

After listening to Li Feng's story, Director Zheng felt very inspired.

At this point, Director Zheng increasingly felt that Li Feng was an all-around talent, a master in both management and technology.

If Li Feng can get the factory's industrialization sorted out, then I'll ask him if he'd be willing to go to the ministry with me.

If Li Feng can go to the ministry himself, then I will have one more helper.

Based on what Director Zheng has recently observed.

Li Feng has a very clean background, and such a person can be relied upon for assistance.

Thirty minutes later, at 10:57, Director Zheng's car arrived at the entrance of Nanluoguxiang.

After the car came to a complete stop, Li Feng got out of the passenger seat.

At this point, after Li Feng said goodbye to Director Zheng, Director Zheng ordered the driver to drive away. Just as Li Feng got out of the car, his second uncle returned from buying groceries.

After seeing Li Feng get out of the car again, his eyes started to dart around. He quickly walked over to Li Feng and asked him with a smile.

"Li Feng, going on another business trip?"

Li Feng was a little annoyed when he saw his second uncle, but he still nodded and replied.

"yes!".

"Just came back from outside."

"What's wrong?".

Uncle Er watched the car drive away and smiled at Li Feng.

"This car is quite high-end; it's at least the kind of car that the top executive in a company drives, right?"

Li Feng didn't know why her second uncle was asking her these questions, but she still nodded to him.

"That's our factory manager's car. He gave me a ride home today since it was on his way."

The reason he said that was because Li Feng felt that he shouldn't speak too deliberately, otherwise...

If this gets back to Director Zheng's ears, it won't be good for him.

Although my second uncle works at the steel mill, it's always better to take precautions against things like this.

After chatting with his second uncle for a while, Li Feng and his second uncle returned to the courtyard house.

When Li Feng returned to the courtyard house, he found that Sha Zhu was home today.

Li Feng went straight into Sha Zhu's living room. He saw Sha Zhu busy at work, so Li Feng couldn't help but smile at Sha Zhu.

"Even though it's Sunday, don't you have to cook at the cafeteria?"

After saying this, Li Feng walked straight into Sha Zhu's kitchen. Li Feng looked at the dishes Sha Zhu was stir-frying in the pot and was somewhat surprised.

"Yo!"

"The food is pretty good!"

"They've even included pig intestines, that's great..."

"So it's Nine-Turned Fatty Intestines?"

After hearing Li Feng's words, Sha Zhu smiled and looked at Li Feng. When he saw Li Feng dressed in cadre attire, he was quite surprised.

"Yo ho!"

"These clothes are so crisp and neat."

"sure!".

"Why haven't I seen you wear this before?"

Li Feng explained to Sha Zhu with a smile.

"Bought recently".

"You know, when I go out on business with the factory leaders, I can't let them down."

Sha Zhu nodded.

"Too!".

"When I was cooking for the factory's special staff, the young cadres who were accompanied by the leaders were generally dressed quite well."

Li Feng nodded.

"Yes, that's right!"

"That's why I decided to buy it."

After Li Feng finished speaking, he smelled the braised intestines in the pot, and then he smiled and said to Sha Zhu.

"That's perfect, I haven't eaten today!"

"Can I freeload a meal at your place today?"

Sha Zhu responded to Li Feng with a smile.

"That's great!"

"We brothers need to have a drink."

So, Sha Zhu started drinking and eating with Li Feng. After Li Feng finished a small cup, he asked Sha Zhu a question.

"What about the rainwater?"

"She's not eating?"

Sha Zhu sighed.

"She went out; she must have gone to a classmate's house to play."

"Anyway, I'll be back tonight, so don't worry. Let's have our drinks."

With the rain so heavy, she must be alright.

After Sha Zhu finished speaking, he immediately started drinking.

Li Feng was a little dizzy from drinking. After finishing his meal, he went home to rest and slept until 1 a.m.

At this moment, Li Feng felt dizzy; drinking alcohol really does make you dizzy.

After sighing, Li Feng went back to sleep.

Anyway, nothing will happen to Li Feng once he gets up.

Moreover, he doesn't really want to draw blueprints right now.

The next day

Li Feng was called to the factory manager's office while he was at work.

At this moment, Director Zheng said to Li Feng.

"Li Feng".

"The ministry has approved your report."

"Now we can finally get down to business."

"However, the two production lines you described in the report, as well as the design report and drawings, have all been approved."

"Regarding the funds, someone from the Ministry's finance department will contact you."

"At that time, you'll be in charge of mediating."

After listening to Director Zheng's words, Li Feng was surprised that Director Zheng would trust him so much and entrust him with such an important matter.

This left Li Feng speechless.

After all, this can be seen as a sign of the leader's trust in him.

Just as Li Feng was thinking about these things, Director Zheng continued.

"Since the ministry has already approved the report."

"Then you should use the report as a blueprint and write a detailed reform plan for the ceramics factory."

"The 6S management you mentioned yesterday can also be added, and the system should be implemented in accordance with management."

"We must be on par with foreign countries."

"Can you do it?"

Upon hearing Director Zheng's words, Li Feng immediately nodded to him.

"I can."

Factory Director Zheng appreciated Li Feng's decisiveness, and then nodded to him with satisfaction, asking, "How much time do you need to finish?"

Li Feng thought for a moment, and then he answered Director Zheng.

"Ten days".

Factory Director Zheng spoke directly to Li Feng.

"Ten days it is."

"Give me the detailed plan in the report when the time comes."

Then Director Zheng spoke to Li Feng.

"Li Feng!"

"Thank you for your hard work lately!"

"But don't worry, I definitely won't treat you unfairly."

However, Director Zheng also knew that it was absolutely impossible to make a horse walk without feeding it; Director Zheng had also come this far in the same way.

Director Zheng has a high starting point, which is good.

But Director Zheng also experienced many people and events.

Therefore, he knew he should give Li Feng a reward, otherwise Director Zheng was afraid that Li Feng would really not work hard for him.

Although this mechanical management department head is a promotion.

But in terms of future prospects, it's definitely not as good as working in the factory office. That's for sure. However, if I were to be promoted to the ministry, it would take at least some time to arrange for Li Feng to join.

However, Director Zheng will not say these things to Li Feng now.

He then spoke directly to Li Feng.

"Li Feng!"

"Once the entire project is finished, I plan to recommend you to the higher-ups as the director of the factory office."

"However, you will still have to serve as the head of the Mechanical Management Department concurrently."

"The ceramics factory is in dire need of rebuilding, so you have to take on this responsibility."

Li Feng didn't expect that Director Zheng would want him to be the director of the factory office. However, Li Feng also knew that the director of the factory office was a highly sought-after position, and it could be said to be the position closest to the factory leaders.

And he was only one step away from the factory leadership position.

For example, Wu Qing, the director of the factory office, is already a director enjoying the treatment of a deputy director, and is very likely to be promoted to deputy factory director in the next step.

At this moment, Li Feng was thinking that if Wu Qing were promoted to a factory leadership position, then he would have a chance to become the director of the factory office.

The position of Director of the Factory Office is the most prestigious among all the section-level positions in the factory. Moreover, once you reach this position, you are very likely to enjoy the benefits of a deputy director. Since you enjoy the benefits of a deputy director, you will definitely have a very good chance of being promoted to deputy factory director.

Although section chiefs in other departments may also enjoy the same treatment as deputy division chiefs, it depends on the individual.

But in the factory office, this kind of thing is relatively easier.

After all, there are still openings for deputy researcher positions in the factory.

of course!

Of course, this position as deputy researcher is only temporary.

Li Feng didn't know whether Director Zheng could keep his promises, since the project was scheduled to be completed at least four years from now.

Four years from now, I'll be twenty-three or twenty-four years old.

However, to be fair, a section chief at the age of twenty-three or twenty-four is indeed rare.

This is beyond doubt.

Even if it were Wu Na, she would only be a deputy section chief.

When Li Feng thought about this, he felt that his promotion recently seemed a bit too fast.

The rank was raised so quickly. At this moment, Li Feng couldn't help but feel that it was no wonder that many officials liked political achievements. If you had political achievements, you would indeed be promoted quickly.

If he has a chance of becoming a full section chief, Li Feng doesn't care so much about the deputy section chief position.

After all, being a deputy director is just a nominal position; at most, one can only enjoy the benefits. He was already a section chief at such a young age. If he wanted to become a factory leader, he would have to wait a long time.

It's not true that becoming the director of the factory office means you can quickly become the deputy factory director.

It's just that the opportunity is particularly great in this position.

As for becoming a deputy factory director before the age of forty, that would be considered good.

Of course, these are just Li Feng's current guesses. As for whether things will turn out the way he thinks, Li Feng doesn't really know.

Sometimes, the things we think about don't necessarily come true.

However, this 23-year-old section chief is indeed unique in this factory.

As for what Director Zheng had said about appointing him as the head of the Mechanical Management Department, Li Feng knew that since this was still undecided, it was all just talk.

Sometimes, it's only when it's realized that it's truly real.

After all, the factory doesn't have this department right now, but the position of factory office director is still quite attractive at the moment.

As for what Director Zheng just said about concurrently serving as the head of the Mechanical Management Department, Li Feng believes that this matter is still far from being settled.

And it's uncertain whether this department will be added in the future.

The most important thing is that the staffing of the Mechanical Management Section needs to be approved by the Ministry. What if the Ministry has other ideas?

Or it could be a matter of lowering the level of the management department.

It's not impossible for someone at the deputy section chief level to be the highest-ranking leader in a department.

However, if Director Zheng were to promote himself, would the ministry approve it?
Then Li Feng thought about the relationship between the factory director and Minister Jiang. He felt that Director Zheng had powerful backing, but whether he could actually help him was still unknown.

Finally, Li Feng thought that with Director Zheng's influence, he could be promoted to the position of Director of the Factory Office.

Personnel appointments, such as those within the factory, must be decided by the department.

The factory has no personnel authority; all appointments must be decided by the ministry.

This is for sure.

Last time, Li Feng saw that Director Zheng and Minister Jiang had a fairly good relationship, which made Li Feng wonder.

This shouldn't be just empty promises from Director Zheng, right?
If Director Zheng knew that Li Feng had so many thoughts in his mind at this moment, wouldn't he be speechless?

However, it is still necessary to make a statement.

At this moment, Li Feng immediately expressed his opinion to Director Zheng.

"Director Zheng, leave everything to me!"

"I will handle what you have said properly."

At this moment, Li Feng seemed to have thought of something, so he couldn't help but report to Director Zheng.

"Director Zheng, I have a request that I hope you can fulfill."

When Director Zheng heard Li Feng's words, his expression froze for a moment, then he smiled and asked Li Feng.

"Tell me what's wrong."

Next, Li Feng directly told Factory Director Zheng about his need for an assistant. After all, for an industrial project like this, Li Feng was already feeling overwhelmed with the part he was responsible for.

Actually, it's not a matter of being busy or not, but rather that some simple and tedious tasks require an assistant to do.

As for myself, I just need to focus on what I'm good at.

After listening to Li Feng's request, Director Zheng answered Li Feng directly.

"Can!".

"I'll assign you three people directly."

"When the time comes, I'll have someone from the personnel department bring the person directly to you."

Upon hearing this, Li Feng immediately thanked Director Zheng.

"Director Zheng, thank you."

"I will definitely work hard."

After listening to Li Feng's words, Director Zheng felt very gratified. He then waved his hand and told Li Feng to get to work.

After Li Feng left, Director Zheng immediately called Huang Yuan, the head of the personnel department, to come to his office.

Upon hearing Director Zheng's summons, Huang Yuan, the head of the personnel department, quickly went to Director Zheng's office.

What Director Zheng said to Huang Yuan was quite simple: arrange for three clever young men to work as assistants for Li Feng.

After hearing Director Zheng's request, Huang Yuan immediately went to get it done.

After all, this was something the factory manager personally instructed them to do.
