Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Chapter 292 Wu Na is coming to work at the ceramics factory!

After returning to his office, Li Feng leaned back in his chair, despite the orders from Director Zheng to prepare a detailed report and formulate new rules and regulations.

But these things can't be accomplished in a day.
Therefore, Li Feng can only work on it slowly. As for 6S management, Li Feng can create it, since it is an existing system that he can simply copy.

But Li Feng doesn't want to work too fast right now. As the saying goes, the faster you work, the more work you have to do, and the more work you have to do, the easier it is to make mistakes.

This error is multifaceted and not necessarily a technical issue.

Therefore, Li Feng was very cautious about this kind of thing, and he also knew that Director Zheng must know that he couldn't finish dealing with all these things all at once.

Li Feng wasn't in a hurry to get busy at this point. He simply poured himself a glass of water from the thermos and sat down to rest in a chair.

The morning passed quickly. Li Feng did nothing in the morning. At noon, he went straight to the canteen. The food was pretty good. Li Feng sat and chatted with Chef Deng for a while, and then they talked about their views on the future of the factory.

Li Feng then returned to his office to rest.

Overall, Li Feng was like a salted fish today.

Right now, Li Feng's biggest concern is when he can see his college entrance exam results, which would put his mind at ease.

After all, it's already 1960. If I don't graduate before 1966, I'll probably have to wait a long time.

This is an inevitable trend that no one can reverse, so Li Feng can only rely on his foresight to do things that are more beneficial to himself.

Four p.m
Huang Yuan from the personnel department had already prepared candidates for Li Feng, and she was now heading to Li Feng's office with several people's resumes.

After Huang Yuan arrived at Li Feng's office, she knocked on Li Feng's door. Upon hearing the knock, Li Feng immediately let the person outside in.

When Li Feng saw that the person who came was Huang Yuan, he stood up and greeted her with a smile.

"Sister Huang!"

"welcome!".

"welcome!".

"What brings you here?"

Huang Yuan, who is in her forties, was actually very happy that Li Feng called her "sister".

So she smiled and responded to Li Feng.

"Didn't you ask Director Zheng for people this morning?"

"I've already sent someone to you, haven't I?"

"As long as you nod, I'll bring it to you right away."

After Huang Yuan finished speaking, she placed her resume directly on Li Feng's desk.

"Pick whatever you like!"

"They include both young and old people."

After Huang Yuan finished speaking, she sat down on the sofa to rest. At this time, Li Feng did not pick up the resume to look at it. Instead, he started to pour hot water for Huang Yuan. After pouring the water, Li Feng directly held the water in front of Huang Yuan.

Then he smiled and said to Huang Yuan.

"Look at what you're saying."

"I just asked Director Zheng to send some people to help me, but I didn't expect you to have arranged the candidates for me so quickly."

"Sister Huang!"

"Thank you for your support of my work!"

"You've really helped me a lot."

Huang Yuan simply smiled and said thank you to Li Feng.

"We subordinates must do a good job of what Director Zheng has instructed us to do, otherwise, Director Zheng's impression of us will not be so good."

"Since Director Zheng has assigned us this task, we must get it done right away."

As Huang Yuan spoke, she took a sip of the water Li Feng handed her, then looked around Li Feng's office before smiling at him.

"Director Li, do you have any suitable candidates?"

"If so, I'll arrange it right away."

When Li Feng heard Huang Yuan address him as Director Li Feng, he quickly explained to Huang Yuan that he didn't deserve such an honor.

Huang Yuan only said this in front of Li Feng.

"It was bound to happen sooner or later."

"But can I call you Deputy Director Li now?"

Upon hearing this, Li Feng nodded to Huang Yuan.

"Alright!"

"Let me see who the candidates are."

After saying this, Li Feng turned his head and looked at the stack of resumes on his desk.

After picking up the resume, he immediately began to look through it.

This resume isn't thick, only about ten pages long.

To be honest, it's quite impressive that Huang Yuan was able to find so many resumes, considering that the ceramics factory isn't a large factory compared to the steel factory.

Although they are at the same level, they are definitely not as large as steel mills, and they don't have as many employees.

For example, when ceramic factories recruit people, they usually only start recruiting after they have established a formal employment status.

This is where the strictness of small factories lies.

As for large companies, they don't offer as many conveniences.

Because large companies often experience labor shortages, they frequently hire temporary workers. However, in order to solve the employment problem, the higher-ups usually agree to this and even provide a certain number of permanent positions.

As for who gets this spot?

Only God knows.

of course!

This only applies to large factories. As for small factories like Five Star Ceramics Factory, they basically recruit people according to quotas.

Moreover, ceramic factories don't hire people often; unless someone retires, no one leaves the ceramic factory.

The benefits at this ceramics factory are much better than those at ordinary factories.

Even doing manual labor there earns more than in other factories.

Therefore, everyone is willing to stay in this factory.

Previously, there weren't many temporary workers.

Zhou Jianjun was one of them.

Of course! Given Zhou Jianjun's background, he got his temporary job there through connections, and he only managed to become a permanent employee later by taking advantage of a recruitment opportunity.

Since that incident, the factory has not planned to hire any workers for the past few years.

In this factory, most people make a living by their skills. If you don't have a skill, you can only do manual labor.

Moreover, the number of positions in this factory is very limited. Basically, they will only hire permanent employees if the employee has an apprentice or a higher-level position.

But this is also normal.

Next, Li Feng began to carefully look at the resumes. Among them were those of young people and those of older people.

Li Feng basically didn't consider older people.

The first problem is that they are not easy to manage, since older people often use unfamiliarity or other reasons to shirk their responsibilities.

As for young people, they rarely worry about this issue.

If you still want to be promoted, you'll do whatever you're asked to do.

Therefore, Li Feng directly selected three young people, whose ages were similar to his own.

Of course! Li Feng only chose men.

After all, there's a saying that goes, "Men can be used like livestock."

Since that's what they said, Li Feng certainly wouldn't let it go. And most importantly, men can work overtime, but women can't!

That's hard to say.

After Li Feng selected three people, he handed their resumes to Huang Yuan.

At this moment, Huang Yuan took the resumes of the three people that Li Feng had selected and began to look at them.

Then a strange look appeared on her face.

Li Feng directly asked Huang Yuan if there were any problems, and Huang Yuan answered Li Feng directly.

"Are you sure you want all three of them?"

Li Feng couldn't help but ask with some doubt.

"how?".

"Is there something wrong with them?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Yuan began to explain to Li Feng.

"These three are all people who have just joined the factory not long ago."

"Are you sure you want it?" Li Feng was stunned for a moment after hearing Huang Yuan's words, and then he couldn't help but ask her.

"Someone who just joined the factory?"

"Really?"

"Has the factory hired anyone recently?"

Huang Yuan shook his head, and then he began to explain to Li Feng.

"They were assigned here from the school."

Li Feng asked Huang Yuan curiously.

"Are they college students?"

Huang Yuan thought for a moment, then shook her head at Li Feng.

"I guess you could say I'm a vocational school graduate."

Li Feng now understood, so he nodded directly to Huang Yuan.

"Then I'll take these people."

"It's okay if they don't have experience. I'll guide them step by step."

“This project will take several years to complete. I’ll guide them for a while, and they’ll be able to get the hang of it.”

"If you could stay with me for a long time, that would be the best."

Huang Yuan immediately replied to Li Feng.

"Director Zheng has already instructed me that the person you chose will stay until the project is finished."

Li Feng felt much relieved upon hearing this, because he was also worried that these people would be transferred away after they became familiar with their work.

In that case, Li Feng would definitely be heartbroken.

As long as I'm not transferred before the project ends, there shouldn't be any major problems.

After Li Feng finalized the selection, Huang Yuan went back to complete the formalities for transferring the personnel.

After all, that's what she does.

After Huang Yuan left, Li Feng's office became quiet again; it was almost five o'clock.

When Li Feng saw that it was almost five o'clock, he prepared to pack up his things, have lunch at the factory, and go home. Just then, the phone on Li Feng's desk rang.

When Li Feng heard the phone ring, he couldn't help but frown. He wondered who could be calling him at this hour.

At this moment, Li Feng was thinking, "This call shouldn't be asking me to work overtime, right?"
In the end, Li Feng answered the phone.

"I am Li Feng..."

After Li Feng finished speaking, a melodious voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Guess who I am."

Upon hearing the female voice on the phone, Li Feng quickly guessed who was calling. However, he was curious about Wu Na's way of making calls. Did she do this no matter who she was talking to?
Although Li Feng thought this way, he still spoke to Wu Na on the phone.

"Such a beautiful voice, it must be Miss Wu Na from our department, right?"

When Wu Na heard that Li Feng had guessed it was her so quickly, she asked Li Feng a question, somewhat puzzled.

"You guessed it so quickly!"

"That's so boring."

"By the way, how did you guess it?"

"My voice has clearly changed."

Li Feng found Wu Na's words somewhat amusing, but he still explained to her.

"Perhaps it's because I'm more familiar with you."

"Also, I don't know many female colleagues at work, let alone any young female colleagues."

"Who else could be this woman I know so well on the phone, besides you?"

After listening to Li Feng's analysis, Wu Na asked him some questions out of curiosity.

"You're not ugly, are you? Don't you know any young women at the factory?"

Li Feng was somewhat speechless.

"Nobody else would talk to me like that."

"Besides, these people all have families. Would they talk to me like that?"

After hearing Li Feng's words, Wu Na felt that Li Feng was right. Just as Wu Na was thinking this, Li Feng's voice came through the phone again.

"That's right!"

"Why did you suddenly decide to call me today?"

"Could it be that something happened at the ministry?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Na asked Li Feng in surprise.

"Didn't you receive the message?"

Li Feng was somewhat confused and asked Wu Na a questioning question.

"What message did you receive?"

"What major event has occurred?"

Seeing that Li Feng really didn't know, Wu Na began to explain to him.

"Didn't your factory's project get approved?"

Li Feng nodded, then asked Wu Na.

"yes!".

"Then what?".

Wu Na then continued to explain.

"Now that your factory's project has been approved, the ministry is preparing to send me to your factory to audit the project's funds."

"Huh? That's it?" A surprised voice rang out at this moment.

After hearing Li Feng's words, Wu Na frowned and said...

"how?".

"You're not welcome?"

Upon hearing Wu Na's displeasure, Li Feng immediately smiled and explained to her.

"How could we not welcome them?"

"You are an imperial envoy sent by the ministry, how could I not welcome you?"

After hearing Li Feng's words, Wu Na couldn't help but press him for an answer.

"If I weren't going to be an auditor, would you not welcome me?"

Li Feng quickly explained to Wu Na.

"How could that be?"

"Am I that kind of person?"

"I would very much like to welcome you."

"Aren't we friends?"

Only after hearing Li Feng's words did Wu Na let him go.

Then he said to Li Feng.

"I'll be visiting your factory incognito the day after tomorrow!"

"Remember to pick me up."

Li Feng nodded.

"Row".

After hanging up the phone, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

As long as I'm not assigned to work overtime, I don't care about anything else.

Wu Na came to the factory to audit the flow of funds, so Li Feng guessed that Wu Na was going to stay here permanently.

This, of course, has no impact on Li Feng.

Anyway, I'm not in charge of procurement or anything like that. I'm currently only responsible for engineering construction and management.

You don't need to worry about anything else.

At this moment, Li Feng checked the time and found that it was almost 5:30. So Li Feng got up, left his office, closed the door, and headed straight for the cafeteria.

Right now, Li Feng just wants to finish eating quickly and go home to rest.
