Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Zhu Changsheng felt that Li Feng becoming a deputy division-level cadre in his twenties was not uncommon in Beijing, but only children from high-ranking official families could become deputy division-level cadres so quickly.

Zhu Changsheng knew very well that Li Feng had risen to his position through his own abilities, but most importantly, it was also due to Director Zheng's promotion. If no one appreciated you, you would have been in that position.

No matter how well you do, it's useless.

Zhu Changsheng was well aware of this.

Even if I wanted to help Li Feng, I couldn't possibly help him to this extent on my own.

Ultimately, it depends on the person.

Factory Director Zheng can do that.

For someone like Director Wei, it would be very difficult to achieve this.

However, there was no problem with him promoting Li Feng to the level of section chief.

As for myself, that's hard to say.

At this moment, Zhu Changsheng immediately nodded to Director Zheng.

"I think most people in our factory recognize Li Feng's skills and abilities."

"Two years later, when the project ends, I will promote him to the position of deputy director of technology at our factory. I personally strongly agree with this."

When Zhu Changsheng got to this point, a hesitant expression appeared on his face.

At this moment, Director Zheng also noticed the expression on Zhu Changsheng's face, so he spoke directly to Zhu Changsheng.

"Just say what you have to say."

Zhu Changsheng then spoke to Director Zheng.

"Will the ministry really approve the promotion of Li Feng to deputy director of technology?"

Although Zhu Changsheng knew that Director Zheng had a powerful background, he also knew that if Director Zheng wanted to promote a deputy division-level cadre, he would have to go through a lot of people.

When Director Zheng heard Zhu Changsheng's words, he thought it was something serious.

Director Zheng must have his own plans for something like this.

So he answered Zhu Changsheng directly.

"I have my own ideas about this matter."

"At that time, you just need to cooperate with me fully."

"Just do your job well from now on."

"We have to do this project well."

"Do you get me?".

After saying this, Director Zheng looked at Zhu Changsheng.

Zhu Changsheng nodded solemnly to Director Zheng and made a promise to him.

"I will definitely do a good job on this project."

After Director Zheng saw that Zhu Changsheng had made a guarantee.

He then told Director Zheng.

"I have recommended you to Minister Jiang to take over my position."

"As for the position of branch factory secretary, it was parachuted in from the ministry."

"It'll happen in the next day or two."

"Get ready."

Although Zhu Changsheng had a premonition that he might succeed Director Zheng, he did not expect it to happen so quickly.

Since Director Zheng said that, it must be a done deal.

At this moment, Zhu Changsheng felt somewhat dazed.

When Director Wei retires, it's possible that I could succeed him, but that's just a possibility.

At that time, there was more than one deputy factory director in the factory. However, no one expected that the factory director would not be chosen from among the deputy factory directors, but would be parachuted in.

By then, Zhu Changsheng already knew that even if he wanted to fight for this position, it would be very difficult.

Now that Zhu Changsheng knows from Factory Director Zheng that he is to succeed him, it's highly likely that it's true.

After all, Director Zheng has access to far more channels than I do.

When Zhu Changsheng thought of this, he immediately began to express his loyalty to Director Zheng.

"Zheng Factory".

"You will always be my leader."

Upon hearing Zhu Changsheng's words, Director Zheng simply nodded to Zhu Changsheng, everything understood without a word.

Ding Qiunan's dormitory

After having lunch with Ding Qiunan, Li Feng accompanied her back to her dormitory.

However, Ding Qiunan's dormitory was too dusty and needed a thorough cleaning, something that definitely required two people to do together. As the saying goes, teamwork makes the dream work.

Even so, Li Feng sometimes felt that it was really a bit troublesome.

Tasks like cleaning can be quite tedious.

The entire afternoon was spent cleaning.

The two, having finished cleaning, are now lying on the sofa.

At this moment, Li Feng asked Ding Qiunan.

"Should we spend the Spring Festival here or go back to our hometown?"

Ding Qiunan stretched and then answered Li Feng somewhat sleepily.

"Let's spend this year here again."

"Going back to my hometown is really too far."

"I had already called home while I was at school."

"So I should be in my dorm during the Chinese New Year."

Li Feng was somewhat pleased about this.

"That's great."

"In that case, I'll live with you."

"Let's go to Sha Zhu's wedding together right after the New Year."

Ding Qiunan knew Sha Zhu, so she nodded directly to Li Feng and said...

"Sure!"

"By the way, what gift should we give?"

"You have a good relationship with Master He, you can't just leave without giving him anything, can you?"

Li Feng was a bit annoyed by all these welcoming and seeing-off affairs, so he asked Ding Qiunan.

"What do you think would be a good gift?"

Ding Qiunan crossed her arms and began to think. After about a minute, she shook her head at Li Feng.

"Actually, I don't know what to give as a gift."

"How about we just give them a monetary gift?"

Li Feng thought Ding Qiunan's idea was good, so he nodded to Ding Qiunan and said.

"Alright!"

"Then I'll just give you 8.8 yuan."

"I wish him wealth."

Ding Qiunan was immediately amused by Li Feng.

Li Feng asked, somewhat puzzled.

"why are you laughing?".

Ding Qiunan began to explain: "Can chefs really make a fortune?"

Li Feng nodded and said.

"Possibly."

"Besides, who can say for sure what will happen in the future?"

"Of course, giving 8.8 yuan is just a symbolic gesture; giving 6.6 yuan would also symbolize good fortune."

At this moment, Ding Qiunan thought for a moment and then directly suggested this to Li Feng.

"If that's the case, then let's give you 6.6 yuan."

"Sixes bring good fortune" sounds a bit better.

“That way, we can save some money,” Ding Qiunan said, her voice becoming softer.

At this moment, Li Feng also sensed that something was amiss, so he asked Ding Qiunan out of curiosity.

"Are you trying to save me money?"

Feeling a little embarrassed that her thoughts had been guessed, Ding Qiunan said to Li Feng.

"Am I doing something wrong?"

Li Feng shook his head at Ding Qiunan.

"without".

"I think it's pretty good."

"After all, you're saving money for me, how could I possibly refuse?"

After saying this, Li Feng immediately put his arm around Ding Qiunan. (End of Chapter)
