Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Chapter 271 Factory Director Wei retires, a new factory director arrives!

Time passed day by day, and during this time, both the courtyard and the factory were very peaceful. Sha Zhu and Wen Hui gradually recovered after this period.

of course!

Most importantly, Wen Hui is gradually recovering, and Sha Zhu is doing alright.

He recovered quickly.

The courtyard has become much more peaceful recently, probably because Jia Zhangshi has been detained in the detention center.

Li Feng was very satisfied with this, after all, he preferred a quieter or more peaceful environment.

Time flew by and it was July 2nd.

In other words, today is the day Director Wei retires.

Today, the leader in charge of personnel from the department brought the new factory director over.

Li Feng had already learned from his well-informed colleagues that the new factory director's name was Zheng Guowei.

It is said that she is only around forty years old this year.

When Li Feng heard that Director Zheng was only around forty years old, he was very surprised.

You should know that Wuxing Ceramics Factory is a state-owned enterprise at the deputy provincial level. How could someone reach the deputy provincial level at the age of forty?

This also shows that this person is someone of considerable importance.

To be a deputy director-general at only forty years old is truly a promising future. Even if Wu Na were around forty, she wouldn't be that accomplished.

This is Li Feng's estimate.

At least in Li Feng's opinion, Wu Na certainly couldn't reach this level at her age.

As for how the handover is handled at the higher levels, Li Feng is just a team leader, so he definitely won't have access to that information.

After listening to his colleagues gossip, Li Feng returned to his own painting group and began instructing them on painting techniques.

After all, this was Li Feng's job responsibility. As for why Li Feng and Master Deng didn't go to Director Zhou's place today, it was simply because Director Zhou and other leaders from other departments went to see the new factory director.

However, in reality, the factory's nominal head is still Secretary Chen.

of course!

The person in charge of factory affairs is usually the factory manager.

of course!

There are also factories where the Party Secretary presides over the work, but in the Five Star Ceramics Factory, the factory director is basically in charge of all the affairs of the factory.

of course!

This is also related to the ministry's policies.

Regardless of what other factories are like, at least in the Five Star Ceramics Factory, the factory director is in charge of all the work.

Around 11 a.m.

Factory Director Zheng quickly completed the handover with Factory Director Wei.

Around noon, witnessed by the personnel leaders of the department, Secretary Chen and the newly appointed Factory Director Zheng held a farewell party for Factory Director Wei.

Basically, everyone in the factory participated.

Li Feng was no exception.

Director Wei had been the factory director for many years, so he was quite prestigious in the factory.

At the farewell party, Li Feng finally saw the new factory director. Just as everyone had said, Li Feng's first impression of him was that he was young and looked to be under forty years old.

Moreover, Li Feng could see Zheng's competence from his every move.

This made Li Feng sigh.

It's certain that Director Zheng won't stop at Wuxing Ceramics Factory in the future.

Perhaps he will return to the ministry and become a high-ranking leader in the future; who knows?

However, this is too advanced for Li Feng at his current level.

It has almost nothing to do with me.

After the farewell party at noon, Secretary Chen and Factory Director Zheng sent a car to take Factory Director Wei away from the job he had worked so hard for many years.

After watching Factory Director Wei leave the factory, Master Deng sighed with regret.

At this moment, Li Feng looked at Master Deng and asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Master Deng, what's wrong?"

Master Deng looked at Li Feng, then shook his head at Li Feng and said.

"fine..".

"I was just expressing my feelings!"

"There will definitely be a lot of things to do after the new factory director takes office."

Upon hearing what Master Deng said, Li Feng's first thought was that personnel adjustments were about to be made.

However, this has nothing to do with Li Feng, since he is just a small team leader and has almost no connection with the management.

Moreover, he was still a worker, so any personnel adjustments wouldn't affect him. Li Feng wasn't worried about it at all.

In the afternoon.

Factory Director Zheng visited and extended his regards to the veteran workers in the workshop.

Ah!
Why did this behavior feel so familiar to Li Feng?

However, Li Feng himself was not considered a veteran, so he just watched from the side of the workshop as Director Zheng extended his regards to the veteran comrades.

For example, Master Lin, Master Deng, and other older comrades.

After Director Zheng had finished talking with the experienced workers in the factory, he suddenly asked Deputy Director Zhu, who was standing next to him, a question.

"Deputy Factory Director Zhu, do we have any outstanding young people in our factory?"

After Director Zheng finished speaking, Deputy Director Zhu immediately replied to him.

"If we're talking about outstanding young people in our factory, there are two in the painting workshop."

Upon hearing what Deputy Factory Director Zhu said, Factory Director Zheng indeed became interested, and he couldn't help but ask Deputy Factory Director Zhu a question out of curiosity.

"Who are they?"

When Deputy Factory Director Zhu heard what Factory Director Zheng said, he immediately waved to Li Feng and Xiao Hou.

"Come here."

Li Feng didn't expect that Deputy Director Zhu would suddenly call him, but he still walked over to Deputy Director Zhu's side and then greeted the two factory leaders.

"Hello, Director Zheng. Hello, Deputy Director Zhu."

At this moment, Xiao Hou also greeted the two factory leaders.

"Hello, Director Zheng. Hello, Deputy Director Zhu."

Seeing that Li Feng and Xiao Hou were very young, Director Zheng directly asked Deputy Director Zhu.

"Are these two the more outstanding young people in our painting workshop?"

Deputy Factory Director Zhu immediately nodded to Factory Director Zheng and said.

"That's right!"

At this moment, Deputy Factory Director Zhu introduced Li Feng to Factory Director Zheng.

"This is Li Feng, the youngest level four painter in our factory. He's not even twenty years old yet..."

"Director Zheng, don't let his young age fool you, he has participated in several national projects."

"Moreover, Li Feng's painting 'Sovietism is Above All Else' was presented to the Soviet Union as a state gift."

"Li Feng's paintings have also been praised by Minister Jiang and Mr. Li."

"He is currently the head of the light blue and white painting group in our factory's painting workshop."

"Our factory's light-colored brocade group was also established by Li Feng."

"Previously, our factory did not have the 'light color' painting style."

When Director Zheng heard Deputy Director Zhu's introduction of Li Feng, he was quite surprised.

He hadn't expected that Li Feng, who looked so young, would be so capable.

Moreover, he received praise from Minister Jiang and Mr. Li.

So Director Zheng smiled and patted Li Feng on the shoulder.

"Young man, you're quite something!"

"You're still young!"

"Work hard in the future, and I believe your path will lead to more than this."

Upon hearing what Director Zheng said, Li Feng immediately nodded in response.

"I will."

Next, Deputy Factory Director Zhu began introducing Xiao Hou to Factory Director Zheng. Of course!

Xiao Hou's rank was not as high as Li Feng's, and he had not done any projects, so of course he had never been praised by the higher-ups.

At this point, Director Zheng simply told Xiao Hou to keep up the good work.

Even so, Xiao Hou was deeply moved.

After all, Director Wei had never said this to him before.

However, before Li Feng came to the painting workshop, Xiao Hou was indeed the most talented in painting.

This is a consensus in the entire workshop.

After visiting the painting workshop, Director Zheng went to visit other workshops.

This is how it usually happens when you go to the grassroots level.

Especially in factories, there are veteran employees in every position, so Director Zheng still has to run around.

However, this has nothing to do with Li Feng.

As for Director Zhou of the painting workshop, he would naturally go along as well.

After all, a new emperor brings a new court, and it's normal for people to gravitate towards the new factory director; nobody would say anything about it.

Because that's what everyone does.

After Director Zheng left, Master Deng spoke to Li Feng.

"The new factory director will definitely make some changes after taking office."

"You need to adapt well."

Li Feng understood this perfectly. As the saying goes, a new broom sweeps clean, and if Director Zheng didn't make some changes, this wouldn't be possible.

So Li Feng nodded to Master Deng in response.

"I know".

"I will cooperate fully."

When Master Deng heard that Li Feng understood his meaning, he nodded in satisfaction.

"Um!".

"Just so you know."

"alright!".

"Go ahead."

"I'm going to take a look around the group."

Li Feng nodded, and then he returned to the Light Color Group.

After learning about the basic situation of the factory today, Director Zheng was not in a hurry to do anything.

At this point, he decided to revise the work plan he had written earlier.

Then there was the factory's application to the ministry for new equipment that had not yet been approved, and he was preparing to resubmit the application.

Because he believed it was something that needed to be applied for.

Therefore, he didn't care whether it was the work of the former factory director.

When Minister Jiang talked to me before, he wanted to change the factory's industrial structure to some extent.

Therefore, many things do need to be put on the agenda.

However, Director Zheng needs to learn more about it now.

After all, he used to work in the Ministry of Chemical Industry, and Director Zheng was not familiar with the ceramics industry under the light industry sector, so he needed some time to digest it.

In the days that followed, Director Zheng familiarized himself with the factory's operations while simultaneously working on reforms.

Li Feng, on the other hand, had been reading books the whole time.

After all, for Li Feng, getting into university is still the most important thing.

About ten days later, with the college entrance examination just a few days away, Li Feng quickly submitted his leave application.

In the past, as long as the leave period was not long, the director or deputy factory manager would usually approve it.

But this time, Li Feng needs to take five days off.

Although the college entrance examination will only last five days, Li Feng still needs time to prepare.

Therefore, Li Feng's leave application quickly reached Director Zheng's hands.

Assistant Han is still serving as Director Zheng's assistant, but Assistant Han understands that once Director Zheng has finished understanding the factory's affairs, he will soon be transferred to a lower-level position.

Before leaving, Director Wei had told Assistant Han that he would make arrangements for him, but he was still unsure.

Currently, personnel arrangements for factory cadres must be approved by the ministry.

Therefore, he didn't know where Director Zheng would transfer him to.

Despite his concerns, he is currently fulfilling his duties as an assistant.

Right now, Assistant Han needs to do her best in everything she does so that it won't affect things in the future.

At this moment, after seeing Li Feng's leave application, Director Zheng looked at the reason for the leave.

"Are you going to college?"

"Is this Li Feng the team leader I saw in the workshop before?"

At this moment, Factory Director Zheng muttered something, then looked at Assistant Han and asked him a question.

"Is this Li Feng the team leader?"

"That is, the youngest level four painter."

Upon hearing what Factory Director Zheng said, Assistant Han immediately nodded in response.

"That's right!"

"It's him."

After Director Zheng confirmed that Li Feng was the same young man he had seen that day, he couldn't help but praise Li Feng.

"Not bad!"

"He achieved great results in his job, and he didn't forget to learn!"

"He's a really great young man."

So he immediately approved Li Feng's leave to take the exam.

He would be proud if the factory's employees could get into university.

Therefore, he still encourages young people to go to university, and this Director Zheng is also a university graduate.

However, he graduated from the Department of Chemical Engineering at Tsinghua University.

His transfer here was purely accidental.

If it weren't for the recommendation from the leaders of the State Planning Commission, he might have remained in the chemical industry.

At this moment!
Factory Director Zheng remembered that Li Feng was the leader of the light-colored porcelain group, and he also had some knowledge of the factory's light-colored porcelain business.

However, orders are currently at a moderate level, which is also related to the lack of brand awareness.

Another point is the light red and white porcelain group, which didn't run for very long.

Therefore, many outside customers are unaware that the factory offers this light-colored porcelain product. At this point, Factory Director Zheng plans to have the sales department promote it more widely.

However, we can't give up on the light-colored porcelain business. What if Li Feng gets into university? Then the light-colored porcelain business will be left unmanaged.

During this period, Director Zheng learned that Li Feng was the one in the factory who knew the most about famille rose porcelain, so even if he got into university, the factory's famille rose porcelain business could not be interrupted.

At this moment, Director Zheng couldn't help but look at Assistant Han and gave him some instructions.

"Assistant Han!"

"Go and call Li Feng over."

After hearing Director Zheng's instructions, Assistant Han immediately nodded in response.

"it is good!".

"I'll go right away."

About ten minutes later, Assistant Han quickly brought Li Feng over.

Li Feng was puzzled as to why Director Zheng would contact him at this time. He couldn't help but wonder if Director Zheng was going to refuse his leave.

Just as Li Feng was thinking about these things, Assistant Han reminded him.

"Li Feng!"

"Go in."

After hearing what Assistant Han said, Li Feng nodded in response.

"Okay."
