Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Chapter 247 At Ding Qiunan's Home

Chapter 247 At Ding Qiunan's Home
After Li Feng finished showering, all his fatigue vanished, and he felt incredibly refreshed.

Because Li Feng first took a hot bath and then a cold shower, he felt much more refreshed. After changing his clothes, Li Feng went directly to Ding Qiunan's dormitory. When Li Feng entered the room, he smelled a fragrance.

This surprised Li Feng.

Could it be that Ding Qiunan's cooking skills have improved so much in just one month?
at this time
Ding Qiunan looked at Li Feng after he finished showering and couldn't help but smile at him.

"It looks much cleaner now, and not so messy anymore."

"I don't smell anymore."

Then Ding Qiunan looked at the bag in Li Feng's hand, so she took the bag directly from Li Feng's hand. Then she turned around and walked towards the washroom. She said to Li Feng as she walked with her back to him.

"I'll put these clothes in the bathroom and wash them for you when I have time later."

Li Feng didn't say anything about it. After all, he didn't really like doing laundry, and now that he had a girlfriend, he didn't have to do laundry anymore, which made him very happy.

After Xu Damao got married, Lou Xiao'e basically washed all his clothes, and the same was true for Jia Dongxu.

So Li Feng was quite envious of this.

of course!

If there were washing machines, then it wouldn't matter, but Li Feng didn't have one, and he didn't know if washing machines existed in this era. Li Feng wasn't very clear about this.

At least during the time Li Feng was there, he hadn't seen anyone using a washing machine.

After Ding Qiunan put Li Feng's washing machine into the bathroom, she quickly returned to the living room and then pulled Li Feng to the dining table.

Looking at the four dishes and one soup laid out on the dining table in front of him, Li Feng couldn't help but smile and praise Ding Qiunan.

"Now you've made it quite well, and it even smells delicious. I just don't know how it tastes."

Upon hearing Li Feng's praise, Ding Qiunan blushed slightly. She then handed the bowl and chopsticks to Li Feng and urged him to hurry up.

"Then you should try it quickly."

"What exactly happened...?"

"I studied it very hard."

"Especially this shredded pork with garlic sauce, I even asked someone else for the recipe."

Then Ding Qiunan used her chopsticks to put some shredded pork with garlic sauce into Li Feng's bowl, and then looked at Li Feng with expectant eyes.

"Try it."

Seeing Ding Qiunan's reaction, Li Feng nodded to her, then picked up the shredded pork with garlic sauce from his bowl and began to eat.

After tasting Ding Qiunan's shredded pork with garlic sauce, Li Feng felt that Ding Qiunan had done a really good job this time.

This time, my culinary skills have surpassed all the dishes I've made before.

At this moment, Li Feng couldn't help but look at Ding Qiunan with surprise and ask her a question.

"Huh!"

"It tastes good!"

"You're already at a chef's level. How did you learn?"

"The progress is so fast."

After hearing Li Feng's words, Ding Qiunan happily explained to him.

"A new older sister has been transferred to our unit."

"She's an excellent cook, so I've asked her for cooking tips many times whenever I have free time."

"I feel that I have made a lot of progress."

After Ding Qiunan finished speaking, a proud look appeared on her face.

After all, Ding Qiunan felt that she was already very capable of doing this level of work.

At this moment, Ding Qiunan suddenly remembered something, so she couldn't help but ask Li Feng.

"Let's go to Lao Mo for dinner tonight."

"It's my treat."

Li Feng certainly wouldn't let Ding Qiunan treat him, since his salary was much higher than Ding Qiunan's. So he simply shook his head at Ding Qiunan.

"Old Mo?"

"Going to Lao Mo is no problem, but I have to treat you."

Ding Qiunan asked Li Feng curiously.

"how?".

"Now that you've become a cadre, you've started to put on airs, haven't you?"

"Those who don't know the situation might think you're a real cadre."

After hearing Ding Qiunan's teasing, Li Feng felt that Ding Qiunan was saving him money, so he told Ding Qiunan directly.

"Although I am not a cadre, my salary is higher than that of cadres."

"Most cadres don't even earn as much as I do."

At this point, Ding Qiunan couldn't help but wonder how much Li Feng earned, so she asked him directly.

Li Feng immediately began to answer Ding Qiunan's question.

"It's alright!"

"It costs about fifty yuan a month."

"Sometimes it can even be a little higher."

of course!

Li Feng did not mention that his highest salary was over 170 yuan.

After all, in this day and age, earning 170 yuan a month is unimaginable for most people.

Moreover, doctors and nurses are now paid according to the standard salary.

But even a regular doctor could never charge more than 170 yuan.

Even among doctors, Li Feng's salary is considered high.

When Ding Qiunan heard that Li Feng's salary was over fifty yuan, she stared at Li Feng with wide eyes, and then asked him in surprise.

"Over fifty?"

"Do you earn such a high salary?"

"Really?"

"Are artists all paid this much?"

After hearing Ding Qiunan's words, Li Feng nodded directly to her.

"Actually, it's not so bad, it's only in the fifties."

"But the average manager in our factory doesn't even earn as much as I do."

"And starting tomorrow, I will be preparing for the Asahi Shiroi group, and I will probably be the group leader from now on."

"Starting tomorrow, I'll probably be quite busy."

Upon hearing this, Li Feng couldn't help but sigh.

When Ding Qiunan heard Li Feng say that the salaries of ordinary cadres were not as high as Li Feng's, he couldn't help but ask Li Feng with some concern.

"Li Feng, do you think your salary will drop after you finish university and come back?"

"And you just said you're going to be the leader of some kind of 'Light Color Color Group,' what kind of position is that? Is it an official position?"

After hearing Ding Qiunan's question, Li Feng began to explain to her.

"If I come back after graduating from university, I will most likely continue to work in a technical position, such as researching glazes or something."

"As for my salary, it's very likely that it won't decrease by much, and I might pursue a technical title in the future."

"As for that group leader in the light red and purple color scheme, he's probably junior to our workshop's deputy director."

“There are many groups in our workshop. For example, I am currently in the Xincai group, which is basically the leader of the group.”

"Above that are the deputy director and the director."

"The director in our factory is roughly equivalent to a section chief."

"If we have to follow the official system, I'd say I'm a section chief."

At this point, this was the only explanation Li Feng could offer.

However, Li Feng only described himself as a section chief, but he also knew that he had nothing to do with being a section chief.

After all, his personnel file was not with the Organization Department, because Li Feng knew very well that he was a formal worker.

He wasn't even a permanent employee, so Li Feng was very clear about his position and wouldn't get carried away by it. When Ding Qiunan heard that Li Feng's position was that of a section chief, she couldn't help but ask him questions out of curiosity.

"If that's the case, can you still be promoted from team leader?"

Upon hearing Ding Qiunan's words, Li Feng was stunned for a moment, then nodded to her.

"It should be possible to get promoted, but it seems that no one has requested a promotion yet."

"I think it's probably because of the salary issue. When the team leader is drawing in the team, there is a production performance bonus, but after being promoted to deputy director, the production performance bonus will definitely be gone, and it will be replaced by a subsidy."

"But as you know, the subsidies are definitely not as high as performance-based pay, because performance-based pay is related to the number of products you make. Basically, the more you make, the more you earn, while subsidies are mostly fixed."

"Therefore, basically none of the team leaders in our area are willing to be promoted to deputy director."

"We only have one workshop director; there's no deputy director!"

"Even if there are opportunities in the future, they will basically be proposed from among the group leaders, but almost no one is willing to do so."

After listening to Li Feng's explanation, Ding Qiunan realized the intricacies of the ceramics factory and that its management model was indeed different from that of a hospital.

However, the hospital's hierarchical system is different from that of other government agencies.

Therefore, Ding Qiunan didn't know what to say, so at this moment, Ding Qiunan told Li Feng to hurry up and eat.

Otherwise, it will be almost three o'clock.

However, after eating a little something, Li Feng wanted to rest.

After all, he didn't sleep well on the train.

Although it was a sleeper car, the train was constantly shaking, so he was only in a state of intermittent sleep and wakefulness.

Li Feng still felt more comfortable sleeping in his room.

Li Feng felt this deeply while he was in the car.

This was Li Feng's first time traveling far from home since arriving in this world, and the trip was quite arduous.

of course!

This is nothing compared to what our predecessors have done; this is just Li Feng's own feeling.

After finishing their meal, Li Feng told Ding Qiunan that he wanted to lie down and rest for a while.

So Ding Qiunan tidied up her room for Li Feng and then let him sleep in her room.

After hearing Ding Qiunan's words, Li Feng hesitated for a moment.

"Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

However, Ding Qiunan asked Li Feng with a puzzled expression.

"What's wrong with it?"

"Didn't you just take a shower? You don't smell anymore."

"Go!"

"I still have to wash the dishes and do the laundry."

After saying that, Ding Qiunan told Li Feng to go sleep in her room.

Actually, Ding Qiunan's dormitory only had one room. Li Feng originally wanted to lie on the sofa in the living room for a while, but Ding Qiunan told him to go to the room by himself.

Finally, Li Feng was dragged by Ding Qiunan before he went to Ding Qiunan's room.

When Li Feng lay down on Ding Qiunan's bed and covered himself with a thin blanket, he could clearly smell a faint fragrance.

This formed a perfect contrast with the white blanket on the train, because Li Feng felt that the white blanket he was using had a certain smell.

That smell easily evokes negative associations, but there's nothing we can do about it.

Even if he asked the flight attendant to change the blanket, it would most likely still have that sweaty smell, so Li Feng eventually gave up on the idea.

I have to say, Li Feng slept really comfortably in this bed.

Li Feng slept in Ding Qiunan's bed.

As for Ding Qiunan, she helped Li Feng change his clothes from the bathhouse and tidied up the kitchen.

Around 6 p.m., Li Feng, who was half asleep, was woken up by Ding Qiunan. At this time, Li Feng felt a headache.

Perhaps it was because he slept during the day. At this moment, Li Feng yawned, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and asked Ding Qiunan with a sleepy look on his face.

"What's wrong?".

"I haven't had enough sleep yet!"

After Li Feng finished speaking, he prepared to continue sleeping, but Ding Qiunan quickly stopped him. At this moment, Ding Qiunan said to Li Feng with some helplessness.

"Didn't we agree to have dinner at Lao Mo's?"

"What time is it? Aren't you getting up yet?"

Li Feng yawned and looked out the window. He noticed that the sun was about to set.

Li Feng scratched his hair and asked Ding Qiunan with some confusion.

"What time is it?"

"It shouldn't be night yet, right?"

"I just saw the sun shining outside the window!"

However, Ding Qiunan pointed to the clock on the wall.

"It's already six o'clock, if we don't go now!"

"It's too late."

Li Feng was immediately puzzled.

"What's so late?"
