Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

After that problem was solved, the discussion then turned to the various technical regulations of the ceramics branch factory. Director Zheng had some experience with regulations.

However, Director Zheng entrusted the important task of formulating technical specifications for the machinery to Li Feng, since Li Feng was the head of the Machinery Management Department, although the appointment had not yet been finalized.

Now everyone basically assumes that Li Feng is the head of the Mechanical Management Department. After all, Director Zheng had already set the tone for this earlier, and most importantly, Li Feng understands this, so no one has said anything.

As for recruitment, Li Feng doesn't need to worry about that. After all, the factory has a personnel department, and if all else fails, he can ask the department to coordinate this matter.

Therefore, Li Feng can now focus on drafting the technical specifications.

Li Feng had nothing to say about this; the drafting of technical specifications only needed to follow the systems of most factories in later generations.

Therefore, this task was not difficult for Li Feng.

Once this project is officially operational and profitable, it will be time to reward those who have made contributions.

This is true regardless of the era; otherwise, people wouldn't work so hard.

This final reward system is the source of motivation.

Otherwise, what's the point of everyone working so hard for you?
After the meeting, Director Zheng asked Li Feng to stay behind.

After everyone else left, Director Zheng directly asked Li Feng to sit on the sofa opposite him before speaking to Li Feng.

“I heard that you joined Professor Xiang’s research group and became one of the leaders.”

"You did a great job."

At this point, Director Zheng began praising Li Feng.

After all, he believed that Li Feng's ability to become one of the project leaders of the Ministry of Industry indirectly earned the Ministry's recognition; otherwise, without the ability, he wouldn't be able to become one of the project leaders.

Therefore, he highly recognized Li Feng's achievements in the field of mechanics.

Upon hearing Director Zheng's praise, Li Feng replied somewhat humbly to Director Zheng, feeling a little embarrassed.

"This is all thanks to the professor's excellent training."

"If it weren't for Professor Xiang, I wouldn't have been able to join the research group."

After listening to Li Feng's humble words, Director Zheng nodded slightly. After all, in Director Zheng's opinion, Li Feng was a person of good character, and at least he could tell that Li Feng was someone who would not forget his roots.

Moreover, Li Feng is very talented. With these two qualities, Director Zheng was willing to give Li Feng a lot of responsibility. However, Director Zheng did not expect that the ceramics factory would have such a talent as Li Feng at the beginning.

This was an unexpected surprise for Director Zheng. His current plan is to let Li Feng gain experience in some positions after the projects at the ceramics factory are completed, and then he plans to find an opportunity to bring Li Feng into the ministry.

In this way, I can be considered to have an assistant in the department.

At this time, Director Zheng was also very clear about his own position in the department, so he tried his best to cultivate his own loyal followers.

At this moment, Director Zheng couldn't help but nod in satisfaction at Li Feng.

"Don't be modest, I know your situation."

"If you didn't have the ability, Professor Xiang would never have recommended you to be one of the project leaders in the research group."

"I already spoke with Professor Xiang when you came here, so you don't need to worry about not having time or anything like that."

“You could write something like this technical specification at Tsinghua University.”

Upon hearing Director Zheng's words, Li Feng breathed a sigh of relief. Although writing technical specifications was nothing to him, he was worried that Professor Xiang might have some complaints if he stayed here.

After all, I haven't been in the research group for very long, and it would be really bad if I just disappeared all the time.

So he immediately thanked Director Zheng.

"Thank you, Director Zheng."

At this moment, Director Zheng simply waved his hand slightly at Li Feng and said, "You don't need to thank me. From now on, just focus on doing this project well. As for the rest, it's not important at all."

After all, in Director Zheng's view, as long as he could do a good job on this project, it would be only a matter of time before he returned to the department, and he would also gain an additional political achievement, so this was a very important matter for Director Zheng.

After saying that, Director Zheng then began to explain some details about formulating technical specifications to Li Feng.

Although Director Zheng comes from a chemical engineering background, he believes that the management model of chemical plants is still worth learning from.

After listening to Director Zheng's suggestion, Li Feng simply nodded to Director Zheng to indicate that he understood.

As for the specifics of how to proceed, Li Feng will still do it his own way.

After all, later generations have mature systems, so there's no need for us to reimagine them.

After Director Zheng finished explaining these things to Li Feng, he invited Li Feng to stay for dinner. After dinner, Director Zheng sent a car to take Li Feng back to school.

After all, Director Zheng knew that it would be quite troublesome for Li Feng to make the round trip, so he simply sent a car to take Li Feng away.

When Li Feng returned to school, it was almost eight o'clock. Looking at the moon in the sky, he couldn't help but sigh! The transportation these days is really troublesome. If it were like the subways of later generations, it would be much more convenient.

Beijing is a very large city with a high level of urbanization, so transportation must keep up. However, China does not yet have the necessary conditions, and many technologies are not available, let alone things like tunnel boring machines.

When Li Feng thought of this, he only sighed.

After all, these are things I shouldn't be thinking about.

Next, Li Feng returned to his dormitory, where he found that only He Xiaodong was there.

When He Xiaodong saw Li Feng return, he asked Li Feng in surprise.

"You're back so early? I heard from the old man downstairs that you got into a car accident. I thought you were going to be gone for several days."

After hearing He Xiaodong's words, Li Feng simply shook his head at He Xiaodong.

"My boss called me to a meeting, and now he's given me a lot of tasks."

At this moment, He Xiaodong smiled and said to Li Feng.

"Well, you're really unlucky."

“Yesterday, I thought you could finally get some rest, but I didn’t expect you to be dragged back to work.”

"By the way, I heard that our school has quotas for joining the Party this semester. What are your plans?"

Li Feng was stunned for a moment after hearing He Xiaodong's words.

He then shook his head at He Xiaodong.

"I think I'll pass. How many spots does our school have? Even if I wanted to, it wouldn't make a difference."

"I think I'll just go back to my workplace and join the Party. Although there are fewer spots available in my workplace, it'll be easier for me."

Although Li Feng knew that it would be easier to get in through school than through the general public, there were only so many spots available, and with so many people competing for them, it was even more difficult for Li Feng.

Therefore, Li Feng plans to return to his former workplace, which would make things easier.

Moreover, I am already a cadre in the ceramics factory. If I don't work in the ceramics factory, Secretary Chen will definitely have a problem with me.

After all, Secretary Chen is the factory's secretary, and he's in charge of these kinds of things.

After hearing Li Feng's words, He Xiaodong looked at Li Feng with some envy.

After all, Li Feng was the only one among them who had a work unit. (End of Chapter)
