Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

After Li Feng made his promise to Sha Zhu, he had almost finished washing up, so he immediately said to Sha Zhu.

"Alright, it's almost time. I need to go to the factory today."

"I'll treat you to a meal next time I have time."

Sha Zhu shook his head at Li Feng.

"You're being too polite. We're already home, there's no reason for you to treat us. Besides, you know how good my cooking is. I'll treat you to a couple of drinks sometime when you have some free time."

Li Feng didn't refuse Sha Zhu's invitation, so he smiled and nodded to Sha Zhu.

"OK!".

"Then you'll treat next time."

After saying that, Li Feng went home, put his toiletries back in the house, tidied himself up, and then rode his bicycle to work.

Since Brother Sun didn't come to pick him up today, Li Feng assumed that Brother Sun must have told Director Zheng what he had said yesterday.

So they didn't send a car to pick me up.

In fact, Li Feng didn't want to attract too much attention.

In the factory, only the factory leaders have cars to commute to and from get off work.

For a mere deputy section chief like myself to commute to get off work in a car, what difference is there between that and rebelling against the Heavenly Gang?
Normally, it's enough if Director Zheng or other factory leaders drive me home from get off work; I don't need to ride alone.

That would definitely cause a lot of people to have objections.

That's why Li Feng said those things to Brother Sun yesterday.

By the time Li Feng arrived at the factory by bicycle, it was already around 7:40.

At this moment, Li Feng went straight to the cafeteria for a meal.

However, by this time, most of the workers had already finished eating, and Li Feng did not run into his colleagues from the Xin Cai group or other groups.

Li Feng didn't care about this, because he knew he could run into them in the workshop.

Moreover, this time I have to complete the task of painting new colors assigned by my superiors, so I should be staying in the new color workshop during this period.

after eating.

Li Feng quickly arrived at the factory manager's office.

Today, Li Feng planned to talk to the factory manager about the watch. He should have reported this to Factory Manager Zheng yesterday, but he had completely forgotten about it.

By the time Li Feng met Director Zheng, it was almost 8:15.

At this moment, Director Zheng was holding the watch that Hongshankou Machinery Factory had given him. He examined the watch for a few minutes, and then suddenly asked Li Feng a question.

"Did you promise them anything?"

Upon hearing what Director Zheng said, Li Feng quickly shook his head at Director Zheng.

No, no.

"How could I dare to agree to things for others, especially things related to the factory?"

"I didn't expect to receive a watch as a gift. I thought it would be some local specialty or food."

After listening to Li Feng's explanation, Director Zheng waved his hand at Li Feng and nodded.

"fine.".

"Keep wearing it."

Factory Director Zheng then returned the watch to Li Feng.

After seeing Director Zheng's actions, Li Feng asked him with some confusion.

"Don't we need to hand it over?"

Factory Director Zheng shook his head at Li Feng.

"Need not.".

"Although this table is a bit over the limit, it's not that serious."

"And didn't you promise them anything?"

"I trust you.".

Li Feng was completely bewildered by Director Zheng's statement, "I believe you."

At that moment, he couldn't help but think.

Do I now enjoy Director Zheng's trust so much?
This left Li Feng somewhat uncertain. Although many people in the factory knew that Director Zheng trusted him, this time Li Feng truly felt Director Zheng's trust in him personally.

At this moment, Li Feng couldn't help but express his deepest gratitude to Factory Director Zheng.

"Thank you for your trust, leader."

After hearing Li Feng's words, Director Zheng patted Li Feng on the shoulder and said.

"Alright!" "I won't say anything more."

"Just do your job well."

"This time, we will strive to complete the task assigned by the ministry."

"That's right!"

"There is still plenty of time for this mission."

"If possible, it would be best if you and Master Deng could guide others to complete the task."

"The new color scheme in the factory must be passed down."

"If you come with me to the ministry in the future, and Master Deng has already retired, then this new color group will be practically defunct."

After listening to what Director Zheng said, Li Feng nodded heavily to Director Zheng.

"I see".

Then Director Zheng asked Li Feng to discuss a solution with Master Deng.

No matter what is convenient, we must ensure that the new color scheme has successors.

Next

Li Feng returned to the workshop carrying out Director Zheng's orders.

The first thing he did upon returning to the new workshop was to go find Master Deng. Master Deng was very happy to see Li Feng back in the workshop.

Li Feng then explained to Master Deng, somewhat embarrassed.

"Master Deng, I've been a bit busy lately, so I haven't been coming to the workshop as often."

Please don't take offense.

Master Deng was quite understanding of Li Feng at this point, and then he comforted Li Feng.

"This must be tough on you, with your busy schoolwork and so much to do at the factory."

"Li Feng!"

"At times like this, you should be even less anxious."

Li Feng nodded to Master Deng at this moment.

"I see".

"This time, Director Zheng let us know that others have completed the tasks assigned by their superiors. He said that there is still relatively ample time this time."

Master Deng nodded to Li Feng.

That's right.

"This time, the higher-ups have given us six months."

"In other words, our new coloring team will need to spend six months producing thirteen pieces of porcelain."

At this point, Li Feng asked Master Deng with some confusion.

"Thirteen pieces?"

"Didn't they say there were more than eighty items?"

Upon hearing Li Feng's question, Master Deng immediately shook his head at Li Feng.

"These are more than 80 pieces in total for the whole factory, but our new color group is only responsible for 13 pieces."

After saying all this, Master Deng seemed to have thought of something, and then he immediately turned to Li Feng and said...

"That's right!"

"It seems that the Shallow Color Group has also been assigned two tasks."

Just as Master Deng finished speaking, a mechanical voice rang in Li Feng's mind.

"bite!".

"The host, as required by the superior, guides the group members to complete the task of creating new colored porcelain and famille rose porcelain for the Great Hall of the People."

"The reward is random."

Li Feng was stunned when he heard the mechanical voice in his mind.

This triggers the quest?
However, it seems like I haven't received any new assignments in a long time.

Even if Li Feng hadn't triggered the mission, I would still have completed it.

This is a task to add art porcelain to the Great Hall of the People, and it's also a source of pride for the ceramics factory.

At this moment, Li Feng knew that most of the artisans in the ceramics factory wanted to display their works in the Great Hall of the People.

Li Feng had already taken advantage of the previous opportunity to display his work in the Great Hall of the People. (End of Chapter)
