Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Although Director Zheng told Li Feng to do his job well and that he had already spoken to Tsinghua University about it.

Once Li Feng finishes his work for this period, he can go back to school. Regarding any missed lessons, Director Zheng said he would try his best to coordinate with the other side to arrange make-up classes for Li Feng.

When Li Feng heard that Director Zheng had said this to him, he knew he had no choice but to work hard without further ado.

Moreover, according to Li Feng's understanding, this is a big project, even bigger than the projects he received when he was in the New Color Group.

But I need to discuss the specifics with Master Deng.

No matter what, I have to do this mission well.

That concludes the account of this national mission.

At this point, Director Zheng began discussing the issue of talent recruitment with Li Feng.

This is an urgent problem.

Once the production line is officially launched, it will definitely require personnel with mechanical expertise.

As for the assembly line workers, that's easy to handle.

After all, these are all simple jobs, such as the maintenance of assembly line machinery, which still requires some mechanical personnel to do.

After Director Zheng told Li Feng about this, Li Feng couldn't help but start to think deeply.

Actually, although Li Feng was able to participate in this matter, he shouldn't have been the main person in charge of the discussions. Logically speaking, Director Zheng should have discussed this matter with Deputy Director Zhu or other key personnel.

So why would Director Zheng tell him this now?
This made Li Feng start to think deeply.

Then he asked Director Zheng with some doubt.

"Director Zheng, what is Deputy Director Zhu's opinion on this matter?"

Factory Director Zheng didn't hide anything from Li Feng at this point, and directly addressed him.

"Deputy Factory Director Zhu said that we can take your opinion into consideration."

"Regarding mechanical matters, he said he didn't understand them, and his opinion was that it was best to let professionals do professional things."

"At least this way it won't be wrong."

At this moment, Li Feng did not expect that Deputy Factory Director Zhu had this idea.

Although what Deputy Factory Director Zhu said was not wrong, I suddenly had a question about talent recruitment.

He couldn't help but start thinking about it carefully.

After all, this kind of thing needs to be done with caution.

Then Li Feng spoke directly to Factory Director Zheng.

"Director Zheng, let me go back and think about this matter carefully. I'm a bit confused right now."

At this moment, Factory Director Zheng nodded to Li Feng to show his understanding.

Although talent recruitment is an urgent matter, Li Feng is the most professional in the factory. Although Director Zheng is a chemical engineering graduate, he also wants to hear Li Feng's opinion on this matter.

So Director Zheng spoke directly to Li Feng.

"Then you should draft a report for me first."

Upon hearing Director Zheng's instructions, Li Feng immediately nodded in response.

"it is good".

"I will come up with a solution as soon as possible."

After the two finished discussing these matters, it was almost 5 p.m., so Director Zheng asked Li Feng to go to the canteen for lunch together.

At this point, Li Feng was also hungry.

So he went to the canteen to eat with Director Zheng.

After the meal, Director Zheng asked Master Sun to take Li Feng home.

Li Feng initially wanted to refuse, as he was somewhat embarrassed to take the factory's car back at that moment. However, at Director Zheng's insistence, Li Feng finally agreed to take Master Sun's car back.

On the way back.

At this moment, Brother Sun, who was driving, smiled at Li Feng.

"Director Li, how was your business trip these past few days?"

At this moment, Li Feng said to Brother Sun with a bit of a headache.

"It's really exhausting."

"I spent several days on the train, and I felt like my whole body was about to fall apart."

When Li Feng got to this point, he couldn't help but sigh.

After hearing Li Feng's words, Brother Sun smiled at Li Feng.

"Taking the train is alright."

"I heard you were traveling in a sleeper car. If you had gone by bus, it would have been even more uncomfortable."

"At least on the train, it's not so bumpy, and I can sleep."

At this moment, Li Feng asked Brother Sun with some curiosity.

"Brother Sun".

"Have you driven to very far places?"

At this moment, Brother Sun couldn't help but reminisce.

"Back in the day, I drove big trucks in the army. Those big trucks were nothing like cars; bumps and jolting were a minor issue."

“I remember when I was on a mission, I would sleep directly in the truck. Sometimes we would take turns driving for 24 hours a day.”

After hearing what Brother Sun said, Li Feng couldn't help but be surprised.

"Brother Sun, were you a soldier before?"

Brother Sun nodded.

"Um!".

"Motorcycle soldiers".

"After the restoration, I was assigned to drive here at the ceramics factory."

"However, to be fair, the ceramics factory offers very good benefits."

"It's much better than when I was in the army."

Li Feng agreed with what Brother Sun said.

After all, Li Feng felt that the treatment at the ceramics factory was truly exceptional.

Whether they were workers or cadres, the treatment was very good.

Although Li Feng's salary has been reduced slightly to a cadre salary, it is not much lower than that of a worker.

So he nodded to Brother Sun.

"yes!".

"The treatment at the ceramics factory is indeed very good; I feel it's better than most factories in Beijing."

"The food is also very good."

"During all the days I was away on business trips, the only food that could compare to what we had at other factories was the food served in their private kitchens."

After hearing Li Feng's words, Brother Sun nodded in agreement.

"Um!".

"That's true."

"When I used to take factory leaders to other factories for research, their meals were indeed not very good."

"But sometimes, I can get a special meal."

"It just tastes a little better than the food at our factory."

"So now I almost always save my stomach for when I go back to the factory to eat. If I can't go back to the factory, I'll just have to eat at their factory."

Throughout the journey, Li Feng discussed the benefits at the ceramics factory with Brother Sun.

After the car arrived at Nanluoguxiang.

At this moment, Brother Sun asked Li Feng.

"Director Li, Factory Director Zheng asked me to pick you up tomorrow. What time are you leaving?"

"I'll come pick you up then."

When Li Feng heard this, he was stunned for a moment.

Then he asked Brother Sun with some doubt.

"Pick me up?"

"When did Director Zheng say that?"

Brother Sun then replied to Li Feng.

"Han's assistant told me."

"He said Director Zheng asked me to come and pick you up."

When Li Feng heard this, he quickly said to Brother Sun.

"Brother Sun, no need."

"I'll just ride my bike to work tomorrow."

"Brother Sun, you don't need to come pick me up."

“I also take the bus to work, this is not appropriate.”

"Brother Sun, could you please tell Director Zheng that I will ride my bike to the factory tomorrow?"

After hearing what Li Feng said, Brother Sun could only nod to Li Feng.

"Then I'll talk to Director Zheng about it. As for whether Director Zheng will agree or not, I can't guarantee it."

At this moment, Li Feng quickly thanked Brother Sun.

"Thanks, Brother Sun."

The reason Li Feng was unwilling to ride in Director Zheng's car to work in the morning was because of his rank. Even if Director Zheng appreciated him, riding in the director's car would be considered disrespectful.

What about the people below?

After all, he was only a deputy section-level cadre, which was considered the lowest-ranking leading cadre in the plan.

As for the stock level, it can basically be ignored.

Although the section-level rank was considered a very important step, it wasn't recognized within the planned system. However, Li Feng, as the lowest-ranking deputy section chief, was the lowest-ranking leader recognized within the planned system. (End of Chapter)
