Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

the other side

An elderly man went to see Director Wang last night, but Director Wang wasn't home. So he plans to go to the neighborhood committee to see Director Wang at noon today.

Just as Yi Zhonghai was about to go find Director Wang, Liu Haizhong pretended to advise him.

"Old Yi!"

"Maybe you shouldn't go?"

"Director Wang wasn't home yesterday."

"Besides, you're going at midday, and Director Wang might not even be at the neighborhood committee."

Upon hearing Liu Haizhong's words, Yi Zhonghai pondered for a moment and found them to make sense. He then nodded to Liu Haizhong and said...

"Then I'll go again this afternoon."

Liu Haizhong was surprised that Yi Zhonghai would actually listen to him and change his mind.

At this moment, Liu Haizhong felt a little guilty for talking too much, but he still looked at Yi Zhonghai with some regret.

"Old Yi, why are you doing this?"

"You really insist on going?"

Yi Zhonghai nodded to Liu Haizhong.

"I've already made up my mind, so please don't try to persuade me otherwise."

After hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, Liu Haizhong felt relieved. If Yi Zhonghai didn't resign from his position as the eldest uncle in the courtyard, he would definitely not have had the chance to become the eldest uncle in the courtyard.

So when he heard that Yi Zhonghai was going to see Director Wang that evening, he nodded to Yi Zhonghai.

"Old Yi, since you've made up your mind, I won't stop you anymore."

"It's already noon."

"Let's go eat first."

"Otherwise, we won't be able to work this afternoon."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai nodded to Liu Haizhong.

"OK!".

"Let's go then."

Two o'clock in the afternoon
Inside the office of the Mechanical Management Department of Wuxing Ceramics Factory.

After lunch, Li Feng began explaining some blueprints about the production line to the technicians.

Although Li Feng had explained it to them when they arrived, there is currently only one production line, which is also the first phase of the project.

Therefore, it was easy for Li Feng to lead them.

As for the subsequent second, third, or fourth phases...

That's a matter for the future.

It's already quite impressive that Li Feng was able to train them in such a short time.

After Li Feng explained the production line to them again, comparing it with the actual production line and showing them the production line drawings, their understanding of the production line deepened.

In the afternoon, the assembly line was mostly free of any more problems.

This gave Li Feng a lot of confidence in the trial operation that would begin the day after tomorrow.

The porcelain produced on the assembly line is now basically without any problems.

In the morning, the production line produced another piece of porcelain. After firing it without any problems, Li Feng was basically relieved.

After instructing the technicians to inspect the production line regularly, Li Feng went to his office to write down the daily maintenance and inspection details.

These are all necessary.

So Li Feng didn't try to save that time.

Time passed quickly.

Before we knew it, it was around six o'clock in the afternoon.

After inspecting the workshop again and finding no unusual problems, Li Feng went to the canteen for lunch.

After dinner, he rode his bicycle home. In the afternoon, neither Director Zheng, Secretary Chen, nor Director Wu and Secretary Zhu were at the factory.

He only found out after Li Feng asked!
They all went to the ministry together.

At this moment, both Director Wu and Secretary Zhu enjoyed the privilege of attending a meeting at the ministry.

In the past, it was basically none of their business.

After getting off work, Yi Zhonghai went straight to the neighborhood committee instead of going home.

This time, Yi Zhonghai wanted to first see if Director Wang was at the neighborhood committee. If Director Wang wasn't there, he would go to Director Wang's house instead.

By the time Yi Zhonghai arrived at the neighborhood committee, it was almost six o'clock.

Yi Zhonghai's arrival today was quite opportune; Director Wang was still working at the neighborhood committee office at this time. Generally, Director Wang would leave work around five o'clock.

However, she has to fill out all the forms today, so she will be getting off work a little later.

Yi Zhonghai arrived at Director Wang's office door. After seeing Director Wang filling out a form, he knocked on the door.

Upon hearing the noise, Director Wang looked towards the door. When she saw Yi Zhonghai standing there, she asked him with some surprise.

"Master Yi, what brings you here?"

"Did you come here for Jia Zhangshi from your courtyard?"

Director Wang already knows about Jia Zhangshi's detention by the police station.

From the day Jia Zhangshi was detained, the police station had already notified the street and community where Jia Zhangshi lived.

There was nothing she could do about Jia Zhangshi being imprisoned.

After all, she was just the director of a neighborhood committee, which is ultimately a self-governing organization under the leadership of the street office.

Now that Jia Zhangshi has been arrested for committing a crime, she is also very troubled.

However, the neighborhood committee has so many areas to manage, and even she doesn't have the energy to manage them all, which is why there are "managing uncles" like this.

To be honest, Director Wang definitely can't handle illegal and criminal matters. She can only handle things like neighborhood disputes and implement policies from higher authorities.

When she saw Yi Zhonghai come to her place, she immediately assumed that he wanted her to help get people out of trouble.

So she directly probed Yi Zhonghai, asking if he had come because of Jia Zhangshi.

If Yi Zhonghai came for Jia Zhangshi, she would have already prepared a story by now.

However, to Director Wang's surprise, Yi Zhonghai did not come for Jia Zhangshi.

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai shook his head at Director Wang.

"Director Wang, I didn't come here for Jia Zhangshi this time."

“Last time, Jia Zhangshi was indeed wrong, and I firmly support the decision of the police station.”

Director Wang paused for a moment, then asked the old man with some confusion.

"Master Yi, what brings you here today?"

At this point, the old man finally explained his purpose to Director Wang.

After listening to what the old man had to say, Director Wang suddenly asked Yi Zhonghai with some surprise.

"You said you want to resign from your position as the head of your compound?"

Yi Zhonghai nodded to Director Wang and said.

"That's right!"

“A lot has happened in the hospital recently. I was unable to mediate the relationship between Li Feng and the Jia family in our hospital.”

"I have no way to mediate their relationship right now."

When Yi Zhonghai got to this point, a helpless look appeared on his face. Back then, Yi Zhonghai's words carried a lot of weight in the courtyard.

However, Li Feng hardly listens to him anymore, and even the simple-minded Yi Zhonghai feels that he can no longer command him.

He doesn't really care about things at the hospital anymore. (End of Chapter)
