Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Chapter 117 Promotion to Level Three Painter
The news that Li Feng had applied for the third-level painter qualification spread quickly in the workshop.

By this time, most people knew about Li Feng's application for Level 3 Painter certification.

During his break, Li Feng was immediately surrounded by a group of people.

At this moment, Zhang Jiefang and Jiang Fei couldn't help but look at Li Feng with envy.

"You'll soon reach level three in drawing, which is already at the master level."

"We've been learning from Master Deng for so long, but we're still not even first-class painters."

At this point, it wasn't just Zhang Jiefang and Jiang Fei who brought this up; even Han Ming and the others nodded in agreement.

"yes!".

"Although we knew you could become a first-level painter earlier than us, we didn't expect you to skip first-level and second-level painters and become a third-level painter directly."

"You are really amazing."

“I should have thought of this when I saw you paint your earlier work, ‘Sovietism is Above All Else.’”

At this point, the others nodded in agreement.

"yes!".

"Your porcelain plaque is absolutely amazing; it could easily be rated as a fourth-level painting skill."

Li Feng simply waved his hand modestly.

"It's all because Director Wei thinks highly of me; otherwise, how could I have been promoted to the third level of painter?"

of course!

Li Feng's humility carried a hint of pride, because his words implied that it was only because the factory director thought highly of him that he was able to be promoted to a third-level painter.

At this moment, most of the apprentices present believed that Li Feng had caught the eye of the factory manager.

of course!

Most of them were unaware that Director Wei was nearing retirement.

Even if it caught the eye of Factory Director Wei, it wouldn't make any difference.

After all, people at their level don't have access to these kinds of things. If they want to know about things at the higher levels, they can mostly only guess.

Even so, they were still very envious of Li Feng for winning over Director Wei.

the other side

After leaving the painting workshop, Assistant Han quickly arrived at the technical department.

When the head of the technical department saw Li Feng's application form for professional title, he was quite surprised.

"Promoted directly from a formal apprentice to a level three painter?"

Assistant Han nodded to the head of the technical department.

"That's right!"

"This is Director Wei's idea."

"Moreover, you have also seen Li Feng's skill; the painting 'Sovietism Above All Else' is Li Feng's work."

"And it also passed the ministry's inspection."

Upon hearing this, the head of the technical department immediately took out his pen, wrote his comments on Li Feng's application materials, and then signed his name.

This Section Chief Yang knows.

If it has been approved by the ministry, then the top leaders should basically know about Li Feng.

It would be bad if Li Feng's promotion application were stuck with me, especially since Director Wei personally instructed Assistant Han to handle this application.

Assistant Han represented Factory Director Wei, which showed that the factory director valued Li Feng, so he quickly wrote the evaluation and his own name.

After seeing that Section Chief Yang of the Technical Department had signed the document, Assistant Han smiled and said to Section Chief Yang.

"Section Chief Yang, thank you for your help."

"I need to go to the production department now."

Section Chief Yang quickly nodded and said.

"No trouble at all. I'm certainly very happy that our factory has produced such a talented person."

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Assistant Han went to the maternity ward.

Assistant Han quickly filled out the form in the production department and then went to the finance department. The finance department mainly calculates Li Feng's new job level and salary. Generally, the new salary is adjusted after the personnel department files the documents. However, since the factory can decide on a level three job title, a copy was filed with the finance department first.

Then it needs to be signed by the head of the finance department.

Finally, Assistant Han took everyone's signatures and went to the personnel department to find Section Chief Huang Yuan.

When Huang Yuan learned the purpose of Assistant Han's visit, she was very surprised.

At this moment, she couldn't help but ask Assistant Han in surprise.

"Assistant Han, isn't it a bit too fast for Li Feng to skip two levels and apply for Level 3 drawing skill directly?"

Assistant Han couldn't help but explain to Huang Yuan.

“Li Feng has completed the task assigned by the ministry, and the factory director also personally instructed me to apply for a third-level painter for him.”

"Otherwise, do you think I would have the guts?"

"And this ultimately requires the factory manager's signature."

Huang Yuan nodded, agreeing with what Assistant Han said.

“I thought Li Feng was a very promising young man from the beginning, and now I have met him.”

"Li Feng has only been here for a few months, and he has already become a level three painter."

"He was also the fastest to be promoted."

"I was the one who filed Li Feng's application for permanent employment a while ago!"

Upon hearing this, Assistant Han nodded in agreement.

"Master Deng has always valued Li Feng highly, and he has completed two tasks assigned by the ministry. In the future..."

"He definitely has a bright future."

Huang Yuan was quite aware of this. If Li Feng could complete the tasks assigned by the ministry, he might even be able to establish connections with the ministry in the future.

Because the leaders in the department and even Mr. Li had met with Master Deng before.

Therefore, Huang Yuan had a clear understanding of this.

Next up!
Huang Yuan quickly filled out the comments section for Li Feng's promotion application, and now all that's left is to wait for Factory Director Wei's approval, and then it will be all done.

Finally, Huang Yuan will file the documents and then register them with the Labor Bureau.

After visiting all the departments, Assistant Han took Li Feng's promotion application directly to the factory manager's office.

Finally, Factory Director Wei wrote "Agreed" at the bottom of the promotion confirmation, then signed his name, and then had Assistant Han stamp it with the factory director's office seal.

After everything is done.

Assistant Han handed all the materials to Section Chief Huang.

Soon it was time to get off work.

After finishing painting two porcelain slabs today, Li Feng prepared to go eat.

As for them, they certainly wanted to go too.

However, Master Deng was inspecting the porcelain they had painted at that moment.

At this point, Master Deng was much more lenient with Li Feng, but much stricter with the remaining apprentices.

After all, Li Feng could rest assured.

He felt that after two missions, Li Feng had mastered certain painting skills.

They are now capable of handling more challenging tasks in the new color group.

So Master Deng planned to have Li Feng do some more detailed work after finishing this batch of goods.

Li Feng was also able to take over the porcelain painting work done by Master Fan and Master Liu.

Li Feng's drawing technique is now flawless.

Now all that's left is experience.

Like experience, it requires trying and drawing more.

Li Feng needs this kind of experience now.

After Li Feng went to the cafeteria, he found Zhou Jianjun and others.

So Li Feng immediately went over to them.

Upon seeing Li Feng, the two of them couldn't help but tease him.

"Oh, it's Master Li."

"Yeah yeah!".

"From now on, you'll be Master Li."

Li Feng chuckled as he listened to their teasing remarks.

"You guys are really something."

Zhou Jianjun patted Li Feng on the shoulder and said.

"My dad said you're really amazing."

"From now on, we brothers will follow you."

Qian Fusheng nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"yes!".

"You're already my master."

"But I am still your apprentice."

"I'm so pitiful."

Wang Liu shook his head and said this.

"It's not that you're too pitiful, it's that Li Feng is too amazing."

“I’m only a first-level potter’s wheel maker now, and Li Feng has already surpassed me.”

"Being a senior in this field is really too difficult for me."

Li Feng was a little embarrassed to say it.

"I don't know how I became a level three artist."

After hearing Li Feng's words, Wang Liu and the others couldn't help but feel helpless.

"You're being modest now."

"But this really sounds like your style."

"no!".

"You'll have to treat us next time."

Upon hearing this, Li Feng patted his chest and said...

"After I treat you to a meal, I'll treat you to a bath."

After hearing Li Feng's words, Wang Liu and the others became somewhat excited.

"it is good!".

"It's settled then."

Li Feng nodded and said.

"Of course, would I lie to you?"

At this moment, Li Feng also wanted to experience the bathhouse culture, so inviting them to get a scrub was nothing unusual.

It's actually more lively if a group of people go.
