Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Compared to the second uncle's obsession with official positions, the first uncle frowned, because he hadn't expected that Qin Huairu was crying at Li Feng's place because she wanted to go to the ceramics factory.

He had heard a little about the ceramics factory's recruitment in Beijing.

However, he felt that whether he worked in a ceramics factory or a steel rolling mill, it was all the same; he was still a worker.

It doesn't matter where the workers are working, it's all the same.
Moreover, he felt that working as a fitter was a better career choice, since fitters are technical workers, while the ceramics factory seemed to be hiring ordinary workers this time.

Of course, there are also ordinary workers in steel rolling mills. Although the wages of ordinary workers in steel rolling mills are slightly higher than those of Qin Huairu, a fitter apprentice, they are definitely not as promising as fitter apprentices.

Once Qin Huairu becomes a mid-to-senior level fitter, she'll have a very high status in the factory.

At least one of the older men believed that Qin Huairu had absolutely no reason to ask Li Feng to go to the ceramics factory.

So he turned his gaze to Qin Huairu and then asked her a question.

"Little Qin!"

"Are you crying here to get a job at the ceramics factory?"

Upon hearing the old man's words, Qin Huairu nodded while still crying.

Only then did Li Feng speak to the old man.

"An old man".

"Take a look!"

"What should we do about this?"

"Qin Huairu cried at my house because I didn't agree to let her work in the ceramics factory."

"Does she think my family owns the ceramics factory?"

"And if she cries here, how bad will that be for me?"

"Uncle, I'm not married yet."

"What if my partner finds out about this and has a bad impression of me? What should I do?"

"And what if the other neighbors in the courtyard find out that Qin Huairu cried at my house and they misunderstand?"

“Uncle, as the person in charge of the courtyard, you have to do something about this.”

After saying these words, Li Feng sat down in his own chair.

After listening to Li Feng's words, the old man felt that Li Feng made sense, since this matter had indeed had a negative impact on Li Feng. So the old man nodded to Li Feng.

"Li Feng".

"As an old man in the courtyard, I certainly won't let you be misunderstood by others."

"If anyone misunderstands you, I will go and explain to them."

At this moment, the second uncle echoed the first uncle's words.

"right!".

"Second Uncle will explain it to others."

"Don't worry."

The second uncle said this to make himself known to Li Feng, because he thought that Li Feng was now the deputy director of the ceramics factory office, and if he could get along well with Li Feng, his youngest son might still be able to get a job at the ceramics factory.

At this point, Liu Haizhong believed that the reason Li Feng did not agree to Qin Huairu's request to get her into the ceramics factory this time was because Li Feng had a bad relationship with the Jia family, and Qin Huairu did not seem to have given her anything.

It's no wonder Li Feng can't help you with anything.

If it were Liu Haizhong, he definitely wouldn't be like Qin Huairu.

When Liu Haizhong thought of this, he walked over to Qin Huairu with his hands behind his back and tried to comfort her as she was crying.

"Little Qin."

"Stop crying."

"Li Feng just said that this will have a negative impact on you and Li Feng."

"In my opinion, you should go back."

"Let's just leave it at that."

After Liu Haizhong finished speaking, the eldest uncle also felt that what the second uncle said made sense, so he nodded and then advised Qin Huairu.

"Yes, Xiao Qin!"

"Second Uncle is right."

"You should go home." Qin Huairu couldn't accept the two old men's suggestion, of course. No matter what, her goal was to get a job at the ceramics factory; otherwise, wouldn't all her efforts have been in vain?

So at this moment, she cried to the two old men, her face streaked with tears.

"Two old men."

"I really want to work in a ceramics factory."

"As you both know, I have so many people to support in my family."

"I also hope to earn more money to support them."

"Gentlemen, please help me persuade Li Feng to let me work at the ceramics factory."

"If Li Feng is willing to help, I can earn more money to support my family."

When Qin Huairu got to this point, she couldn't help but look pitifully at Li Feng.

Li Feng was speechless at Qin Huairu's behavior. How come she never noticed how shameless Qin Huairu was before?
And why should I help you?

Just because you can cry?
In any case, there's no way I can help Qin Huairu.

So at this moment, he shook his head at the two old men and said...

"Master!"

"Second Uncle!"

"I can't help you with this."

"I'm neither the factory manager nor the person in charge of personnel, so I'm afraid I can't help you."

"Moreover, this recruitment drive for the ceramics factory was led by the Ministry of Light Industry."

"Even the factory has little say in the recruitment process."

"I'm just a low-level manager in the factory."

"There's nothing I can do about this."

In short, Li Feng's point was that if you wanted to get into the ceramics factory, you should go to the personnel department in the ministry; going to him directly would be useless.

At this moment, the old man also realized that Li Feng was unwilling to help. Although he did not know that the ceramics factory needed the approval of the ministry to hire someone, he could still understand Li Feng's refusal.

So the old man couldn't help but advise Qin Huairu.

"Little Qin!"

"How about we just let this matter drop?"

"There's nothing Li Feng can do about this."

"He just said that this time it's a recruitment for the head of the Ministry of Light Industry."

Before the old man could finish speaking, Qin Huairu immediately retorted.

"Grandpa, please listen to me."

“If Li Feng is willing to help, he can definitely get me into the ceramics factory.”

"Li Feng got his colleague's wife arrested by him."

After Qin Huairu finished speaking, the second uncle knew that his guess was correct; Li Feng did indeed have the ability to get people into the ceramics factory.

I've definitely not been working in vain.

However, at this moment he felt that he should say a few words in Li Feng's defense.

So he frowned and said seriously to Qin Huairu.

"Xiao Qin".

"Don't talk about this."

“This concerns Li Feng’s future. A cadre like Li Feng would never do such a thing.”

Li Feng was completely stunned by what his second uncle said.

He hadn't expected that his second uncle would actually speak up for him; this was something he hadn't anticipated.

However, Qin Huairu had no idea what her second uncle was thinking. At that moment, she thought that her second uncle did not believe what she said, so she quickly told the two uncles about her encounter with Li Feng's colleague.

Only then did Li Feng understand why Qin Huairu was so insistent on getting him to get her a job at the ceramics factory. (End of Chapter)
