Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

After the meeting, Li Feng went to the old factory area's factory director's office to find Director Zhu and Director Wu.

At this moment, Factory Director Zhu and Factory Director Wu were discussing matters related to the project.

At this moment, Director Zhu spoke to Director Wu.

"I have already written a report and submitted it regarding the project's progress."

"The higher-ups are very satisfied with our progress."

"The personnel for the second phase of the project are basically in place."

"Director Wu, after the completion of the second phase of the project, you need to focus on implementing the training for the newly hired personnel."

"The higher-ups have put pressure on the staff to master their skills, so you need to manage them well."

"We cannot allow those above to have any complaints about our work."

After hearing what Director Zhu said, Director Wu nodded directly to Director Zhu.

"I see".

"I will focus on addressing the issues you raised."

"I will also pay close attention to Deputy Factory Director Li."

"If he needs anything, I will make arrangements accordingly."

After hearing what Factory Director Wu said, Factory Director Zhu nodded.

"Um!".

"Our job now is to cooperate with Li Feng."

"The higher-ups are very satisfied with the first phase of the project that Li Feng was in charge of. We must do a good job in the logistics for the subsequent phases of the project."

Just as Director Zhu was about to say something, there was a knock on the door of his office.

Factory Director Zhu looked toward the door and then spoke to it.

"Enter".

The door opened as Director Zhu spoke.

At that moment, Li Feng entered.

When Director Zhu saw that it was Li Feng, a smile appeared on his face, and he welcomed Li Feng.

"Li Feng, you've finally arrived."

"Is the meeting over?"

After hearing what Director Zhu said, Li Feng nodded directly to Director Zhu and replied.

"It's over."

"I have already assigned the task."

"Next, all I need to do is guide them to complete the design."

"Don't worry about the date."

"It will definitely be completed within the deadline."

Director Zhu believed Li Feng's words and nodded to him.

"That's good."

He then looked at his watch and realized it was almost three o'clock, so he said to Li Feng.

"Let's get going now."

"A meeting will be held at the ministry at four o'clock."

Li Feng nodded, and then he went to the ministry for a meeting with Director Zhu and Director Wu.

This wasn't Li Feng's first time here, and he was quite familiar with the place.

When Li Feng arrived by car, there were still about thirty minutes left before the meeting started, so Li Feng followed Director Zhu and Director Wu to Director Zheng's office.

When Director Zheng saw Director Zhu, Li Feng, and the others, a smile appeared on his face.

He then shook hands with everyone.

Then he asked everyone to sit down, and Director Zheng then ordered someone to make tea for Director Zhu and the others.

After everyone was seated, Director Zheng addressed Director Zhu and the others directly.

"Director Zhu, I have read the report you submitted."

"Minister Jiang is very satisfied with the progress of the second phase of the project."

"The ministry is paying close attention to the projects that have been implemented in recent years." "The second phase of the ceramics factory must achieve results."

"As long as you can execute the plan as initially proposed, you will definitely surpass the other projects."

After listening to Director Zheng's explanation, Director Zhu and Director Wu understood what Director Zheng meant. They had also learned about the other officials in the ministry.

At this point, they knew that as long as they could successfully complete the next few phases of the project, no other project in the department could compare to theirs.

This would be beneficial for both Director Zheng and myself.

As for Li Feng, he was unaware of the other projects in the department at the time, but he didn't ask about them then.

Because Li Feng knew that he was currently the deputy director of technology.

He was in charge of the technical planning for the ceramics factory.

As for the other projects in the ministry, Li Feng did not pay attention to them.

Therefore, Li Feng did not speak at this moment.

At this moment, Director Zheng turned his gaze to Li Feng.

"Li Feng."

"Director Zhu has already told me about your recent actions."

"I fully support your work."

"It would be great if students from Tsinghua University could stay."

At this point, Director Zheng shared his thoughts with Li Feng.

As for Director Zhu and Director Wu's thoughts on Director Zheng, they felt it was somewhat difficult.

After all, these people were students from Tsinghua University, and their chances of staying at the ceramics factory were extremely slim. So, they couldn't say anything at this moment, and the two of them turned their gaze to Li Feng.

Li Feng hadn't expected Director Zheng to raise this question.

Then he realized that what Director Zheng had just said was somewhat unrealistic. Would top students from Tsinghua University stay at the ceramics factory?

Li Feng was also uncertain at this point.

After all, they all have their own ideas, and most importantly, they are all very promising. Students from Tsinghua University are unlikely to be limited to ceramic factories.

When Li Feng thought of this, he couldn't help but say to Director Zheng.

"Zheng Si".

"Actually, I also wanted to keep them here."

"But it's difficult."

When Li Feng got to this point, a troubled expression appeared on his face.

If the ceramics factory were a good enough platform, we wouldn't have needed to recruit from Jinling University and Southeast University in the first place.

Back then, Director Zheng went to Tsinghua University to recruit people, but the result was obvious.

Even Director Zheng failed back then, so there's no way I can succeed.

At this moment, Director Zheng also noticed Li Feng's predicament, and then he sighed and said to Li Feng.

"Try your best to do this."

"As the ceramics factory expands in the future, its level will definitely be higher than it is now."

When Director Zhu and Director Wu heard Director Zheng's words, they immediately got a signal in their minds: was the ceramics factory going to be upgraded?
If the ceramics factory is upgraded, then it will no longer be just a department-level unit.

Currently, it is certain that Director Zhu will be promoted to the position of deputy director-general in the future.

However, if the ceramics factory is upgraded, then Director Zhu's political future will not only be limited to deputy director level, but could even reach director level.

That's what Director Zhu thought, and naturally, that's what Director Wu thought too.

After all, Director Wu is still young, and it's possible that he will take over from Director Zhu in the future.

If Director Zhu could sit in the main hall, then it might not be impossible for Director Wu to do so as well. At this moment, the two of them began to breathe rapidly.

Who wouldn't want to take themselves to the next level?

After hearing what Director Zheng said, Li Feng felt that if the ceramics factory had a large enough platform, there was still some hope of keeping them.

However, for now, all we can do is offer them empty promises.

After all, once the branch factory is built, there will be a huge number of vacant management positions.

In that case, they would likely be appointed to official positions immediately upon arrival. (End of Chapter)
