Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Next, Qian Fusheng and Liu Yue carried their things to Nanluoguxiang.

Qian Fusheng, Wang Liu, and Zhou Jianjun have all been here before, and last time they came, they ate at Sha Zhu's house.

Along the way, Qian Fusheng told Liu Yue about what happened when he came here last time. Liu Yue was very surprised to learn that so many things had happened here.

Qian Fusheng nodded to Liu Yue.

"Actually, last time, Jianjun and I just wanted to try the Sichuan cuisine that the chef Li Feng mentioned was good at."

"That tastes really good."

"It tastes even better than what our ceramics factory makes."

"Now when I think of that taste, I feel my mouth watering."

Seeing Qian Fusheng's wistful expression, Liu Yue became even more curious.

She had already eaten at the ceramics factory canteen these past few days, and the food there was already very good for Liu Yue. She wondered how delicious the food that "Silly Zhu" Fu Sheng had mentioned must be.

Actually, Liu Yue also enjoys eating delicious food.

So when Liu Yue heard Qian Fusheng say that Sha Zhu's cooking skills were very good, she also wanted to try it, so she asked Qian Fusheng.

"Fusheng".

"Then next time you have the chance to eat there, you have to take me with you."

Qian Fusheng readily agreed to his wife's request.

"Of course."

"If we have the chance to eat there next time, I'll definitely take you."

"You're my wife, how could I not take you?"

As they were talking, they arrived at the entrance of No. 95 Nanluoguxiang.

At this moment, Qian Fusheng pointed to the doorway next to him.

"This is it."

Liu Yue looked at the gate, then suddenly asked Qian Fusheng.

"Fusheng, you're saying that Li Feng, a high-ranking official, lives here?"

"I feel that it's not appropriate for a senior official like him to live here."

After hearing his wife's words, Qian Fusheng asked Liu Yue with some confusion.

"What's wrong with living here?"

"I feel great."

Liu Yue then began to explain to Qian Fusheng.

"If you live in a courtyard house, the rooms probably won't be very big, right?"

"If Li Feng gets married in the future, there definitely won't be enough room for him."

Qian Fusheng thought for a moment, then shook his head at Liu Yue.

"The courtyard houses here are bigger than the ones around here."

“I’ve seen Li Feng’s house before; it’s a bit bigger than ours.”

“We can fit both of us and our son in, so his family can definitely fit too.”

"Moreover, our factory's welfare housing is still under construction."

"Once the welfare housing is built, he won't lack a place to live."

"And the welfare housing is several tens of square meters."

"That's a huge house."

"I'm so envious."

"And let me tell you, it seems like you can take a shower right at home in that house."

"That's so convenient."

At this moment, Liu Yue asked Qian Fusheng with some excitement.

"Fusheng, have we been allocated welfare housing yet?"

Liu Yue's words instantly brought Qian Fusheng to his senses, and he couldn't help but shake his head at Liu Yue, saying, "Sigh!"

"I am not eligible for subsidized housing at the moment."

"If I want to work on welfare housing, I definitely need to be promoted to a level four potter to have a chance."

"I'm only a level one potter now. I don't know how long it will take before I'm promoted to level two."

"Let me tell you, right now Brother Wang and Jianjun are just like me and can't apply for subsidized housing!"

"They wanted to apply for subsidized housing, but it was no use."

When Qian Fusheng got to this point, a troubled look appeared on his face.

At this moment, Liu Yue asked Qian Fusheng with a puzzled look.

"How did Li Feng manage to apply for welfare housing?"

Qian Fusheng then explained directly to Liu Yue.

"He was able to apply for welfare housing because he was already an intermediate-level painter when he applied, and he had also participated in many national projects."

"Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to apply for subsidized housing either, just like me."

After hearing Qian Fusheng's explanation, Liu Yue was somewhat surprised.

"Back then, Li Feng was a painter, wasn't he?"

"Still an intermediate-level artist?"

"Is he really that good?"

"So how did he become a cadre now?"

"I heard you say that cadres' salaries are not as high as those of workers, right?"

Qian Fusheng nodded at this point.

"yes!".

"Li Feng joined the factory at the same time as me. At that time, we were both pottery workers."

"Later, he became very interested in painting, so he went to learn to paint."

"I don't know how it happened, but he became an intermediate-level painter."

"And in the end, he even learned to paint from one of the factory's most skilled painters and worked on projects."

"As for why I eventually became a cadre, I have no idea!"

"However, what I do know is that our factory director, Mr. Zheng, values ​​him highly."

"Otherwise, why would Section Chief Huang give Li Feng face?"

"You just said it yourself, many people in the branch factory got in through connections."

"If Li Feng hadn't been highly regarded by Director Zheng, would you have been able to get into the ceramics factory?"

“I’ve approached Section Chief Huang so many times, but it’s no use.”

"Li Feng solved your factory job issue with just one sentence. Doesn't that already explain everything?"

At this moment, Qin Huairu, who was behind the door, overheard the entire conversation between Qian Fusheng and Liu Yue. Qin Huairu was surprised to find that Li Feng had such great influence; he had managed to get someone into the ceramics branch factory with just a casual remark.

Moreover, judging from their tone, many of the people at the ceramics branch factory got their jobs through connections, which Qin Huairu thought meant that the ceramics branch factory was a good place.

If the cadres' salaries are not as high as those of the workers, then how high must the workers' salaries be?

Moreover, I just heard them say that this ceramics branch factory is newly opened and probably doesn't require much technical skill. If I go there, wouldn't I be able to earn a high salary?
Then I wouldn't have to work so hard at the steel rolling mill for 27.5 yuan a month anymore.

At this moment, Qin Huairu felt very upset when she thought about how she only earned 27.5 yuan a month.

I've tried so hard, but it's still no use.

When Qin Huairu thought of this, she felt that she still needed to ask Sha Zhu to help her talk to him about getting a job at the ceramics factory.

Qin Huairu felt that Sha Zhu hadn't really helped her reconcile last time.

Otherwise, the result would definitely not be like this.

After all, Qian Fusheng had just said that Li Feng got his wife a job at the ceramics factory with just a casual remark, so if he wanted to get a job at the ceramics factory, wouldn't that be just as easy as Li Feng saying a few words?
He and Li Feng had been neighbors for so many years, and he hadn't offended Li Feng. If he asked Sha Zhu for help again, Li Feng would probably agree to help him get a job at the ceramics factory.

At this moment, Qin Huairu had no thought whatsoever about Jia Zhangshi's scheme to seize Li Feng's house. (End of Chapter)
