Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Chapter 186 Xu Damao also believed that Li Feng had become a cadre.
So Xu Damao quickly told his second uncle Liu Haizhong what he had said to Li Feng a few days ago, and he also emphasized that he had told his third uncle, whom he had met at the gate of the courtyard, about it a few days ago.

When Liu Haizhong heard that Li Feng had returned by car a few days ago, he became even more convinced that Li Feng was a cadre.

Otherwise, it's impossible for a worker to go by car. As for Xu Damao's statement that Li Feng was going to the ministry to deliver documents, he directly assumed that Li Feng was going to work at the ministry.

Moreover, even if one doesn't work in a ministry, it's still possible to become a manager in a ceramics factory.

How could an ordinary worker possibly travel to the ministry by car?

And most importantly, it was a female section chief who delivered it!
No matter how you look at it, this is not the treatment workers should receive, and the beautiful female section chief just said that Li Feng is highly regarded by Minister Jiang.

Can an ordinary worker be valued by a high-ranking leader?
How can this be?

So Liu Haizhong then told Xu Damao what the female section chief had just told him.

When Xu Damao heard Liu Haizhong's words, he couldn't help but fall into doubt as well.

The female section chief came to pick up Li Feng?
I haven't heard anything about it. Last time I saw Li Feng get out of the car, he didn't mention the female section chief to me.

Xu Damao was momentarily stunned.

After a few seconds, he couldn't help but ask Liu Haizhong a question.

"Was there really a female section chief to pick him up?"

"Second Uncle, you're not seeing things, are you?"

Upon hearing Xu Damao's words, Liu Haizhong immediately became anxious.

So Liu Haizhong quickly explained to Xu Damao.

"real!".

"Could I have misread it?"

"She was a female cadre, and quite pretty at that; she looked like a high-ranking official."

"I've been working in the steel rolling mill for so many years, and I still can't tell what a female cadre looks like?"

When Xu Damao heard Liu Haizhong's words, he couldn't help but fall into doubt. After all, in Xu Damao's heart, he simply believed that Li Feng had no chance of becoming a cadre.

Moreover, Li Feng had only been working at the ceramics factory for a few months when he was noticed by his superiors and became a cadre.

That's simply impossible.

However, Xu Damao had just heard his second uncle speak with such certainty that he was now unsure whether Li Feng was actually a cadre or not.

Moreover, in Xu Damao's view, how could an ordinary worker ride in a car again and again, especially with a female section chief picking him up?

She was a female section chief in the ministry, a privilege not even enjoyed by the leaders of the steel rolling mill. Xu Damao was well aware of this.

Moreover, Xu Damao had been currying favor with his superiors all these years, so he knew a little about the affairs of the factory leaders.

The factory leaders have some influence in the ministry, but the section chiefs and directors below them can't get by in the ministry at all.

As for ordinary cadres, that goes without saying.

As for the workers, they most likely don't even know where the ministry is.

This is the situation Xu Damao is currently aware of. Although he has the treatment of a cadre, he is not a cadre at all.

Moreover, even if they themselves didn't know where the Ministry of Industry was, let alone ordinary workers.

At that moment, Xu Damao even thought that Li Feng might actually be a cadre, but then he was thinking about something else.

Even if Li Feng is a cadre in the ceramics factory, he shouldn't have received this kind of treatment, right?

Being picked up by a car and accompanied by officials from the ministry—even ordinary factory cadres don't get this kind of treatment!

At this moment, no matter how hard Xu Damao thought about it, he couldn't understand it.

At this moment, seeing that Xu Damao did not speak, Liu Haizhong, the second uncle, asked him a question.

"Xu Damao, what's wrong?"

"Why aren't you saying anything?"

At this moment, Xu Damao couldn't help but ask Liu Haizhong a question.

"Second Uncle, what do you say?"

"How did Li Feng become a cadre?"

“Last time, he definitely didn’t tell me the truth. Last time, Li Feng only told me that he was a worker at the ceramics factory and that he was temporarily assigned to deliver documents to the ministry.”

"Second Uncle, if what you're saying is true, then it's definitely not what Li Feng said. He must be hiding something from us."

Upon hearing this, Liu Haizhong nodded and said, "Yes!"

"He must have kept it from you. If that female cadre hadn't come to see Li Feng, I wouldn't have known he'd become a cadre."

"I don't know where he got such great ability to become a cadre and even know high-ranking leaders."

"Perhaps it's because Li Feng caught the eye of a high-ranking leader that he was promoted to a cadre position."

Then Liu Haizhong couldn't help but sigh.

"If only I knew a high-ranking leader, what makes Li Feng better than me?"

"If he can become a cadre, I certainly can too."

"Unfortunately, I don't have that luck."

After hearing Liu Haizhong's words, Xu Damao also felt that it was possible that Li Feng had been noticed by a high-ranking leader, which was why he was promoted to a cadre position.

Otherwise, these things simply don't make sense.

It's impossible for ordinary factory workers to have any contact with people in the ministry.

When Xu Damao thought of this, his heart was filled with mixed feelings.

Xu Damao used to think that no one in the younger generation in the hospital could compare to him, but now it seems that...

It was my fault.

When Xu Damao thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh deeply.

Afterwards, Xu Damao talked to Liu Haizhong about Li Feng for a while before going home.

Xu Damao was feeling down at this moment.

When Xu Damao's wife, Lou Xiao'e, saw his depressed expression, she couldn't help but ask him a question.

"Da Mao."

"You just went out to fetch a bucket of water, how did you end up like this?"

After hearing his wife's words, Xu Damao couldn't help but repeat what he had just said to his second uncle to Lou Xiao'e.

Lou Xiao'e was shocked when she heard what Xu Damao said.

Immediately afterwards, Lou Xiao'e looked at Xu Damao with some disbelief.

"Da Mao, are you telling the truth?"

"Last time, didn't you say that Li Feng was just an ordinary worker?"

Xu Damao sat in the chair and sighed.

"yes!".

“That’s what Li Feng told me last time.”

"He said he was just an ordinary worker, but I never expected that he was actually a cadre."

"If my second uncle hadn't just told me about this, I wouldn't have known."

"Li Feng is hiding his true colors quite well."

"I always thought he was just an ordinary worker!"

"It seems I was wrong."

When Lou Xiao'e heard this, she couldn't help but feel a little doubtful.

"Are you sure what Second Uncle said is true?"
"You know Second Uncle."

"Sometimes they might tell lies."

Upon hearing Lou Xiao'e's words, Xu Damao waved his hand and said...

"Unlikely."

"What's the relationship between Second Uncle and Li Feng?"

"He might not even be as good as me. Besides, my second uncle is obsessed with officialdom. Whenever he sees an official, he always tries to get close to him."

"If Li Feng were just an ordinary worker, would he have stood at Li Feng's door for so long?"

At this moment, Lou Xiao'e didn't know what to say.
