Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Just as Liu Haizhong was lost in a beautiful fantasy, Yi Zhonghai told him about Director Wang's advice to continue living the life of an old man. Yi Zhonghai's words shattered Liu Haizhong's illusion.

Upon hearing Yi Zhonghai's words, Liu Haizhong said anxiously to Yi Zhonghai, "Old Yi, why don't you continue?"

"Where did you go from that energy you had yesterday?"

"Where did you go?"

Yi Zhonghai initially wanted to quit, but the matter between Li Feng and Jia Zhangshi bothered him a lot. Now that Director Wang is willing to help, he is willing to be a big shot.

However, Yi Zhonghai certainly wouldn't tell Liu Haizhong his thoughts at this moment, so he simply shook his head and explained to Liu Haizhong.

"Do you think I don't want to?"

"I was very insistent at the time."

"But Director Wang is more insistent than I am, and she even brought up Director Hao from the neighborhood committee. What can I do?"

When Yi Zhonghai got to this point, he thought for a moment and then said to Liu Haizhong.

"The current situation is that Director Wang told me to do this for now, and we'll talk about this matter later."

Yi Zhonghai's statement was clearly meant to indicate that he had indeed approached Director Wang, but Director Wang had disagreed. Perhaps once Director Wang found a suitable candidate, he wouldn't have to act like a pampered servant anymore.

Director Wang certainly didn't say that to Yi Zhonghai.

Moreover, Yi Zhonghai probably knows that Liu Haizhong is interested in the position of the eldest uncle, so he said this to give Liu Haizhong a glimmer of hope.

When Liu Haizhong saw what Yi Zhonghai had said, he didn't want to ask Director Wang about it, so he nodded to Yi Zhonghai and said...

“I said right then and there, you’re the one who should be the old man.”

"It would be impossible to replace them with someone else."

"Now you see?"

"Director Wang is keeping you around like a big shot in the hospital."

Yi Zhonghai simply nodded slightly at Liu Haizhong's words.

Next

Liu Haizhong then said some flattering words to Yi Zhonghai, after all, Yi Zhonghai was still the big boss in the courtyard, which meant that Yi Zhonghai was still the one who called the shots.

But there is nothing that can be done about it.

Liu Hai was somewhat unwilling, but he still flattered the old man.

the other side

Qin Huairu stayed at home taking care of the children.

She felt very tired. Although Qin Huairu didn't like her mother-in-law very much, she still wanted to rely on her mother-in-law to help her take care of the children. Now, after finishing work, Qin Huairu had to take care of three children when she got home, which made things very difficult for her.

Although sometimes an older woman might help take care of things, it's not a long-term solution.

At this moment, Qin Huairu couldn't help but wonder if she should go to the police station to ask her mother-in-law how much longer she would be detained.

Previously, Qin Huairu wanted an old man to help her persuade Li Feng to forgive her mother-in-law, but now it seems impossible.

Qin Huairu feels very melancholy now.

Originally, he wanted Sha Zhu to talk to Li Feng to get him a job at the ceramics factory, but he never expected this to happen.

Qin Huairu thought that Li Feng would help her because she had so many children and an elderly person to support, but to her surprise, Li Feng had no intention of helping her at all.

This made Qin Huairu very upset.

However, the most important thing right now is to get my mother-in-law out of the hospital, otherwise I won't be able to go to work.

Time flies, and two days passed quickly.

September 1961, 2

Spring
Today marks the first day of operation for the branch factory.

Yesterday, several factory leaders directed the factory's cadres and employees to conduct a thorough cleaning of the ceramics factory, hang welcome banners, and make a series of preparations for the inspection.

This is the moment everyone has been waiting for. Many people have been promoted because of the establishment of the branch factory.

Li Feng was also promoted to section chief thanks to the project.

As for the others, needless to say.

Yesterday, Li Feng led the technicians to check the production line operation day and night at the factory. Fortunately, so far there have been no problems.
At this moment, Li Feng stood next to Director Zheng and waited for the arrival of the department leaders.

This time, several high-ranking officials from the ministry and some department heads will be here. This is a big leader's visit, and many people are starting to get nervous.

After all, many cadres rarely have the opportunity to come into contact with high-ranking leaders.

Even Li Feng only met the top leaders through certain missions.

Li Feng had only met the top leaders of the department a couple of times, and that was only when Director Zheng took him there.

Even so, this is something that others cannot achieve.

It's around 8:40 in the morning.

At this moment, Director Zheng asked Assistant Han.

"Xiao Han, has Minister Jiang set off yet?"

Upon hearing what Factory Director Zheng said, Assistant Han immediately nodded and replied.

"Director Zheng, I have already confirmed with the ministry that Minister Jiang's convoy has already set off."

Upon hearing Assistant Han's reply, Director Zheng nodded slightly and then remained silent.

About ten more minutes passed.

Minister Jiang's motorcade appeared.

When Director Zheng, several deputy directors, and many others saw the convoy arrive, their expressions immediately turned serious.

The arrival of a high-ranking leader means that one is about to be put to the test.

Any mistake at any stage will give the leader a bad impression of them, so at this time they can't help but be extra careful.

The convoy quickly arrived at the entrance of the ceramics factory. Behind Director Zheng, a banner hung on the factory gate, which read "Welcome to the leaders."

The car at the front is Minister Jiang's car.

When Director Zheng and several other factory leaders saw Minister Jiang get out of the car, they quickly went to greet him.

The factory leaders were very experienced in preparing for inspections, and the reception was no problem for them at all.

After Minister Jiang got out of his car, the deputy ministerial-level leaders and bureau-level leaders at the back of the motorcade also got out one by one.

After shaking hands with Minister Jiang, the factory leaders then began shaking hands with other leaders.

After shaking hands, Director Zheng invited Minister Jiang to cut the ribbon for the opening of the branch factory.

Minister Jiang readily agreed.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony was one of the highlights of the day.

of course!

Minister Jiang wasn't the only one to cut the ribbon; several deputy ministerial-level officials and senior directors from the ministry were also eligible to do so.

Finally, Director Zheng also participated in the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

As for Li Feng and others...

All I could do was watch from the sidelines.

However, this is normal, because even Director Zheng's position is at the bottom among them.

Not to mention the deputy factory directors.

If Director Zheng is promoted to a ministerial level, he will most likely start as a deputy director in a certain department. Given Director Zheng's influence and background in ceramic industrialization, he should be able to shed the "deputy" title very quickly. (End of Chapter)
