Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Next, Director Zheng began to talk to Li Feng about the department's unified recruitment.

"This recruitment was conducted uniformly by the ministry."

"The list of personnel for the organization was drawn up a long time ago, but the list of personnel for the Machinery Management Section was only recently drawn up."

"These are the twenty-two people."

"These 22 people were all recruited by the ministry from Jinling University and Southeast University."

"The same applies to positions in other agencies."

"As for the recruitment of workers, the ministry only sent a working group to our factory to conduct recruitment, and our factory's personnel department was responsible for cooperating."

"The number of people recruited each time is determined by the ministry."

At this point, Li Feng understood what Director Zheng meant: the ministry was in charge of making decisions, while the factory was responsible for the actual work.

Li Feng was aware of this as well.

Who told the factory to have no authority over personnel or finances?
However, this is normal. If the ministry controls the factory's personnel and finances, then it is equivalent to controlling the entire factory.

Most state-owned enterprises are like this now.

At this moment, Li Feng nodded to Director Zheng.

"In this way, the operation of the branch factory can be basically guaranteed."

Li Feng had also reviewed the newly approved "three-fixed" plan from the Ministry.

The ministry increased the staffing at the factory, so even if it's only 80% of the usual number of people, that's enough.

As for the second and third phases, that's a matter for later.

Based on the current plan, there should be virtually no problem.

When Li Feng got to this point, he turned to Director Zheng and said something else.

"When will these candidates be able to take up their posts?"

At this moment, Director Zheng spoke directly to Li Feng.

"I should be able to get to the factory within a few days after New Year's Day."

“I was planning to have you train them after New Year’s Day, and now you’re here right now.”

"Tomorrow is New Year's Day. You can use your few days off to prepare training materials at home."

"The factory buildings and equipment have now been installed and tested."

"When they arrive, you should personally escort them."

After hearing Director Zheng's instructions, Li Feng nodded and agreed.

"I understand".

"I'll be preparing in the next few days."

After seeing that Li Feng had agreed to the matter, Director Zheng checked the time and then said to Li Feng.

"alright".

"It's getting late."

"After you finish eating at the factory today, go home and rest early."

At this moment, Li Feng immediately bid farewell to Factory Director Zheng.

"Factory manager, shall I head out now?"

Factory Director Zheng nodded to Li Feng, and then continued processing the documents.

After leaving Director Zheng's office, Li Feng did not go anywhere else; he went directly to the Xincai Group.

It wasn't lunchtime yet, so he went straight to the new color group and also to see Master Deng and the others. Since he finished instructing them last time, Li Feng hadn't had time to come here, so he decided to come and check on them now that he had some free time.

At this moment, Master Deng was directing the new color team to conduct an inventory.

When Master Deng saw Li Feng arrive, he greeted him with a smile.

"Li Feng, are you on vacation?"

"What brings you back to the factory today?"

Li Feng walked over to Master Deng, glanced at Jiang Fei, Zhang Jiefang, and the others who were moving things, and then nodded to Master Deng and replied.

"yes!".

"Isn't this New Year's Day? The school gave us three days off. There's nothing much going on at school today, so I went back to the factory to take a look."

Upon hearing Li Feng's answer, Master Deng smiled and nodded at Li Feng.

"I see!"

"Good!".

"You'll have a bright future after you graduate from school."

Although Master Deng regretted that Li Feng had stopped painting, he was still very pleased that Li Feng had a better future. At this moment, Li Feng saw the members of the new color group taking inventory, so he smiled and said to Master Deng.

"Master Deng, is there anything else I need to do?"

"Anyway, I don't have anything to do right now, so you can leave it to me."

Upon hearing Li Feng's words, Jiang Fei and Zhang Jiefang, who were standing nearby, immediately waved to Li Feng.

"Then help me move this table."

"It's quite heavy."

After hearing what Jiang Fei and Zhang Jiefang said, Master Deng glared at them both.

“You guys do your own thing. Li Feng came all the way from Tsinghua University, and you still asked him to help move tables.”

"You two better get to work properly."

Zhang Jiefang and Jiang Fei lowered their heads and got back to work after being glared at by Master Deng, though they muttered things like how Master Deng valued Li Feng.

Li Feng could only shake his head helplessly, then smiled and advised Master Deng.

“Master Deng, I don’t have anything to do right now, so I’ll just lend a hand.”

Then Li Feng immediately helped Jiang Fei and Zhang Jiefang move the table.

Li Feng is quite strong; he can move things like tables with ease.

At this moment, Master Deng smiled as he watched Li Feng busy himself. After all, he thought Li Feng was a very hardworking person, and he had seen Li Feng's growth all the way, so he valued Li Feng very much.

So when Li Feng offered to help, he was prepared to let Li Feng rest.

After all, Li Feng is now a cadre, and he shouldn't be asked to do things like inventory. However, since Li Feng has already taken on the task, he stopped complaining.

After an hour, the inventory of the new lottery group was finally completed, and by then, Master Deng had already registered all the items.

So Master Deng told everyone to start resting.

At this moment, Master Deng said to Li Feng.

"I'll go to the materials department first, you can rest here for a bit!"

Li Feng nodded and then smiled at Master Deng.

"You go ahead and get busy."

Master Deng nodded and then left.

After Master Deng left, Li Feng was immediately surrounded.

Because of the increased staffing, there are quite a lot of people in the new color team now. At this moment, Zhang Jiefang immediately asked Li Feng.

"Li Feng, it's so good to see you back."

"We're exhausted every day now."

Jiang Fei nodded in agreement with Li Feng.

"yes!".

"We've been exhausted lately."

Not only Zhang Jiefang and Jiang Fei, but also the team members following behind them nodded repeatedly.

At this moment, Li Feng looked at them with some doubt and asked.

"how?".

"Hasn't the porcelain painting for the Great Hall of the People been finished?"

After hearing Li Feng's words, Zhang Jiefang shook his head at Li Feng.

"Although the porcelain for the Great Hall of the People has been finished, we have recently received many new orders for colored porcelain."

"Now each of us has production targets."

"Luckily you helped us add a lot of people, otherwise I would have insisted on staying here."

After hearing their words, Li Feng was surprised to receive such a large order recently. However, this was a good thing, as more orders meant higher wages.

At this moment, Li Feng immediately tried to persuade them.

"This is a good thing."

"Although the workload has increased, the salary has also increased."

"And isn't it almost Chinese New Year?"

"Don't you want to have a prosperous New Year?"

"When I have money, I can buy a lot of things."

After hearing what Li Feng said, Zhang Jiefang and the others found it quite reasonable, and they felt relieved.

After all, in these times of year, who wouldn't want to make money? (End of Chapter)
