Soon the garment factory's operations were back on track.

Only a few female workers came from their hometown, but they were practical, quiet, and hardworking. Ye Yun trained them to become the main force of the garment factory.

Each person forms a group to manage other female workers recruited from outside through job postings.

One month later.

In the bright and spacious finance office, Ye Yun personally did the accounting with Bing Ge and discovered that the garment factory's first net profit had already exceeded ten thousand!

This is fantastic news.

Those who do this kind of production work rarely see money in the first month.

But they did it.

Based on the current situation, the garment factory's brand awareness will increase as time goes on, and its net profit will only increase.

The soldier was so happy his teeth were practically flying off.

He was not only happy that the factory was doing well, but also because Ye Yun had paid him a considerable salary.

Ye Yun had seen his dedication to the garment factory and offered him a high salary of one hundred yuan a month.

It is three times the wage of an ordinary worker.

In addition, Ye Yun gave him an extra thirty yuan bonus every month.

In other words, his monthly bonus alone was equivalent to the income of an ordinary worker, which made this once-humble tailor suddenly rich.

He's a small business owner now, at least.

Although I was a boss when I ran a tailor shop, I only made a profit of thirty or forty yuan a month after working myself to the bone. During the peak season of Chinese New Year, I could only earn a little over one hundred or eighty yuan a month.

Unlike now.

I go to get off work and leave work on time every day, and I can earn more than 100 yuan a month.

Becoming a millionaire is just around the corner for him!

Lantian Garment Factory's business is getting better and better, with Dongfeng trucks coming in and out every day to deliver goods, which makes the other two companies gradually decline.

Qingshan Garment Factory has always been in a bad state.

After Yang Qinglin's time, Qingshan Garment Factory was already on the verge of collapse. Now, just like Baiyun Garment Factory before, most of its employees have been laid off, and the factory is just surviving on subsidies that its manager applied for from higher authorities.

Chen Zhenxing did come to talk to Ye Yun.

The market for the garment industry is only so big, so if Ye Yun's business is doing well, Chen Zhenxing's business will naturally be affected.

However, he only came to Ye Yun to complain about being poor, saying that his business was suffering a great loss and asking Ye Yun to be lenient and not steal his business too much. He even begged Ye Yun to agree to produce a new piece of clothing for him every month so that his garment factory could stay afloat.

Ye Yun was both amused and exasperated.

Bullshit! Lantian Garment Factory is just starting out. How much business could it possibly steal from him?

This person was clearly just trying to amuse her.

Moreover, with Chen Zhenxing's current talent, producing one or two trendy clothes is no problem at all. He's trying every means to gain her pity and exploit her.

However, Ye Yun still agreed.

We'll produce a new outfit for Chen Zhenxing every month, continuing until next spring.

When spring comes next year, she will no longer design styles for Chen Zhenxing, as that will be the time when she gives birth and needs to take a proper postpartum confinement period.

Besides, in the end, people have to rely on themselves.

She won't design for Chen Zhenxing forever, and Chen Zhenxing can't possibly need her designs forever either.

As Chen Zhenxing was leaving, he said sourly, "Look at the soldiers, they count money until their hands cramp up every day. I'm afraid that in a while, I'll be defeated by you guys!"

Ye Yun twitched the corner of her mouth.

The soldier scoffed, "Director Chen, have you forgotten that Boss Ye has invested in your factory? Your interests are intertwined, so she won't let you go bankrupt!"

Chen Zhenxing then slapped his forehead, realizing, "I really forgot if you hadn't mentioned it!"

"Are you stupid?"

"Thank you so much for reminding me, Deputy Factory Director Hu," Chen Zhenxing replied with a smile, full of flattery.

This made the soldier feel embarrassed.

The soldier awkwardly scratched the back of his head, still a little unaccustomed to the title of deputy factory director, and urged Chen Zhenxing to leave as soon as possible if there was nothing else.

Chen Zhenxing left happily.

With a new outfit from Ye Yun every month, and remembering the mutual benefit between him and Ye Yun, he felt incredibly at ease, even humming a little tune as he left.

...

"Honey, your foot looks swollen."

As night fell, Qin Zheng brought over a basin of diluted warm water to wash Ye Yun's feet.

Ye Yun is now quite far along in her pregnancy, and her belly is so big that it's inconvenient for her to bend over, let alone bend down to wash her feet. So Qin Zheng has taken over the task of washing her feet every day.

I just took off Ye Yun's socks today and noticed that her ankles were swollen.

He held her fair and tender little feet in his hands. Because Ye Yun had gained a lot of weight recently, each of her toes looked chubby.

But Qin Zheng still noticed something was wrong.

Her slightly chubby little feet were swollen, and felt plump to the touch. Pressing on them left a whitish finger mark that took several seconds to return to its original flesh color.

Ye Yun was reading a book when she heard this and replied calmly, "It's normal."

Although she hadn't experienced it herself, she knew these common-sense facts from books, such as the book about female pregnancy in her hand.

The book also says that in the later stages of pregnancy, not only will the feet swell, but the whole body will also swell.

She couldn't help but frown, imagining herself all swollen, her feet swollen, her hands swollen, her face swollen, her whole body swollen like a big steamed bun.

Well……

It's unbearable.

Qin Zheng quickly washed her feet, dried them with a towel, and lovingly tucked them into his arms for a while.

After a long while, he got up, stretched out his long legs and kicked the foot-washing water aside. He then sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), placed Ye Yun's feet on his lap, and gently massaged her ankles, trying to reduce the swelling.

A stove was lit inside the house.

The burning stove made the room warm and cozy. Ye Yun lay lazily on the quilt while Qin Zheng massaged her legs and feet. The comfortable feeling made her drowsy.

The book in front of me is explaining something.

She couldn't concentrate on reading any more words.

The large hand with calluses on my ankle was gently rubbing, feeling sore and astringent, and slowly, without me even realizing it, it moved up to my ankle.

I felt a slight chill all over my body.

Ye Yun opened her eyes slightly, and in her dazed state, she saw Qin Zheng quietly undressing her.

She couldn't help but gently raise her arms and hug the man's neck. Qin Zheng smiled slightly, and then lifted her upper body to take off her padded jacket.

As his thin lips brushed against her ear, he whispered, "Go to sleep if you're sleepy. I'll take off your clothes so you can sleep more comfortably."

Qin Zheng's voice was low.

As he spoke, his warm breath sprayed against Ye Yun's ear, slowly, as if trying to penetrate her ear canal.

Unable to resist his languid state, Ye Yun tightened her grip on his neck. Her already drowsy, hoarse voice whimpered like a kitten's, weakly pleading, "Sleep with me..."

"good."

Qin Zheng smoothly climbed onto the bed, took off his cumbersome sweater, and crawled into the quilt. His hot body immediately sent a burning sensation to her.

A man on a winter night is as warm as a small stove in a quilt...
