Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Even after leaving the courtyard, there were still quite a few people outside on the second day of the Lunar New Year.

Most of these people are there to pay New Year's visits.

Because Li Feng noticed that these people were carrying quite a lot of things.

Li Feng's goal was the same.

Li Feng had been to Master Deng's house before.

Moreover, he also visited Master Deng to wish him a Happy New Year last year.

So he easily found his way to Master Deng's house.

"Dong dong dong".

After a knock, the door opened quickly.

It was Master Deng who opened the door.

When Master Deng saw that it was Li Feng, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

He then patted Li Feng's arm and smiled at him.

"Li Feng!"

"You're here so early."

"I thought you were planning to come here this afternoon or in a couple of days!"

Li Feng immediately felt a little embarrassed.

"Master Deng!"

"Am I too early?"

Master Deng shook his head at Li Feng.

"How could that be!"

"If you had come to me sooner, I would have been overjoyed!"

"Come in and have a seat."

After Master Deng finished speaking, he let Li Feng in.

After all, Li Feng could be considered his most outstanding disciple. Although he doesn't paint much anymore, the bond between them remains.

After entering Master Deng's house, Master Deng went to pour water for Li Feng.

After pouring the water, Master Deng then served the tea to Li Feng.

After accepting the tea from Master Deng, Li Feng thanked him.

Just as Li Feng was about to sit down, there was a knock on the door of Master Deng's house.

When Li Feng heard the knocking, he tried to get up to open the door, but he was quickly stopped by Master Deng. At this moment, Master Deng said to Li Feng...

"You sit down."

"I'll go drive it."

Since Master Deng had said so, Li Feng sat there quietly.

After Master Deng opened the door, Li Feng heard two very familiar voices.

Li Feng quickly got up and looked towards the door, only to see Jiang Fei and Zhang Jiefang arrive together.

Li Feng was surprised to learn that the two of them had come together.

Is it better to go to the master's house together for festival gifts? This puzzled Li Feng.

At this moment, both Jiang Fei and Zhang Jiefang saw Li Feng.

So the two of them couldn't help but greet Li Feng.

"Li Feng!"

"You're here so early?"

"It's been so long since I've seen you."

"You haven't come to our painting workshop at all."

Zhang Jiefang nodded in agreement.

"yes!".

"I heard from others that you've been working at the branch factory, haven't you?"

Upon hearing this, Li Feng said somewhat apologetically.

"Why!".

"There's nothing I can do."

"There's a lot going on at the branch factory, and several factory leaders are often there, so even if I wanted to go to the painting workshop, I wouldn't have the time."

At this moment, Master Deng spoke up for Li Feng.

"Li Feng is busy with other important matters right now. Didn't you hear that the factory leaders were all here?"

After Master Deng finished speaking, Zhang Jiefang couldn't help but cross his arms and sigh.

"Li Feng is so good, even his master is speaking up for him."

"I'm so envious."

Then he looked at Master Deng. "Master, when did you start helping me like this?"

After hearing Zhang Jiefang's words, Jiang Fei nodded to Master Deng.

"yes!".

"Master, this is too much discrimination."

Master Deng glared at the two of them, then said to them in a somewhat annoyed tone.

"If your skills can match Li Feng's, I'll speak up for you."

Upon hearing Master Deng's words, the two of them immediately deflated like punctured balloons.

At this moment, they couldn't help but think.

Master Deng was really putting them in a difficult position. They knew best what level Li Feng was at and what level they were at.

Although they both started learning early, they weren't as capable as Li Feng.

Li Feng hasn't painted in a long time, but he's still a level 5 painter.

Right now, the two of them are only first-level painters, far inferior to Li Feng and the others.

Moreover, if Li Feng continues to paint, he will definitely be qualified to take on apprentices.

Let’s talk about other things.

Li Feng had previously participated in many national projects, all of which were large-scale.

Right now, they can only paint the more common new-style ceramics in the factory. They really can't paint anything more difficult.

So now, when Master Deng criticizes them, neither of them knows how to refute him.

However, their lives are much better than before.

They used to be apprentices, but now they are both professional painters.

Just as Jiang Fei and Zhang Jiefang were feeling a bit awkward, Li Feng suddenly smiled and spoke to them.

"You two should stop talking about this."

"Besides, I haven't painted in so long. Now I do administrative and technical work."

As soon as Li Feng finished speaking, Jiang Fei curiously approached Li Feng and asked him a question.

"That's right."

"Now you're the section chief."

"Do you want to work in the workshop?"

At this moment, Master Deng spoke directly to Jiang Fei.

"If you want tea, go pour it yourself."

After saying this, Master Deng turned his head and looked at Zhang Jiefang.

"the same as you.".

After saying that, Master Deng addressed everyone again.

"Have lunch here, and none of you leave."

"I'm going to the kitchen to cook now."

After saying this, Master Deng didn't allow anyone to refute him, and then he went to the kitchen on his own.

Zhang Jiefang and Jiang Fei both looked helpless at this moment.

Li Feng was already used to this, so he didn't say anything at this point.

Next, Jiang Fei asked Li Feng the same question.

At this point, Li Feng could only begin to explain to Jiang Fei.

"It's quite normal for the branch factory section chief to go down to the workshop."

"Especially the technical section chiefs, like the assembly lines in the workshop, were all designed by me."

"If any problems arise during the production process, I, as the section chief, will definitely lead the technicians to solve them."

"Otherwise, you'd think I just sleep in the office all day, wouldn't you?"

When Li Feng got to this point, he was somewhat speechless.

At this moment, Jiang Fei said somewhat embarrassedly.

"I thought your job was the same as the head of the technical department in our old factory."

"Nothing much happens every day."

Li Feng then began to explain to Jiang Fei.

"The old factory didn't have much equipment, and the technical issues related to ceramics were handled by the experienced craftsmen in the workshop."

"So it's normal that the technical department of the old factory doesn't have much to do."

"We can't expect them to inspect the kilns every day, can we?"

"You can't inspect this kiln every day. If it delays production, you'll just get scolded."

“The branch factory is different; the entire assembly line is made up of machines.”

"So it's normal that I'm very busy at the branch factory." (End of Chapter)
