Jiang Xia stayed up all night reading a retro-themed novel. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself as the male protagonist’s doomed ex-wife in that very story.
Her storyline began ...
Chapter 622: Experience folk life?
Jiang Xia rode his bicycle alone to the garment factory.
Zhou Chenglei went to pick up Tian Caihua and Zhou's father, and Zhou's mother came to help.
When Jiang Xia arrived at the garment factory, it was still five minutes before 6:30, and there were already more than twenty workers there.
They are all old employees of the factory, and most of them are around 30 or 40 years old.
The factory entrance was also arranged according to Jiang Xia's request yesterday, with a long row of tables and a large wooden frame on top.
The wooden frame was nailed by the garment factory director yesterday afternoon according to Jiang Xia's request.
The factory director introduced everyone and said with a smile: "This is Comrade Jiang Xia, who is here to help our factory deal with the tens of thousands of sets of clothes in stock. Today, everyone should listen to Comrade Jiang Xia's arrangements. Don't think that Comrade Jiang Xia is young and bullies others or disobeys orders. Today, I will listen to Comrade Jiang's arrangements!"
Although the factory director did not say that Jiang Xia was the new director, they all knew that the factory could no longer operate and had to be transferred, and they all faced layoffs.
So Jiang Xia should be the new director who takes over the factory.
But no one expected the new factory manager to be so young.
Isn't this too young? What shocked them more than her youth was her beauty.
This is so beautiful.
How can such a young and beautiful girl become a factory manager? On what basis? Some people instantly thought of several wonderful storylines in their minds. They couldn't help but look Jiang Xia up and down, pursed their lips, and looked away.
Some people secretly rolled their eyes, expressing dissatisfaction with the factory manager.
Some were surprised, some were disappointed.
I came here with great expectations, thinking that a new factory manager would take over the garment factory and bring new hope.
Finally this thing came out?
Are you kidding them?
Some women couldn't help but whisper to each other: "Whose daughter is this who has come out to experience folk life?"
"How can this be a rich lady? She should be the second wife of some family."
"That shouldn't be the case. She looks like an unmarried girl."
"A second wife is someone who is not married. Is she still a second wife after getting married? Don't some overseas Chinese businessmen particularly like to find young and beautiful women? They can have a family abroad and a small family in China. There is a girl in our village who has become a mistress at a very young age. The man bought her clothes, a car, and a house, but the man is very old and could be her father!"
"Really? Do her parents know?"
"Know,……"
Jiang Xia noticed everyone's reactions, but couldn't hear what they said. He estimated that it wasn't anything good.
She didn't care. She was looking for a worker, not a partner.
As long as they can do the job well, she can just not hire them if they can't.
Jiang Xia first briefly introduced himself: "Hello everyone, I am Jiang Xia, you are all my senior, just call me Xiao Xia. I am sorry to bother you today, and now I will arrange the work."
"Can the comrade who was in charge of the warehouse come out please?"
Then a few people stood up.
Jiang Xia said to them, "You are more familiar with the warehouse, so you will be responsible for finding clothes. If a customer wants to buy clothes of a certain size, you will find them for them. Do you understand?"
Several people nodded: "Understood."
"Thank you for your hard work!"
Jiang Xia replied, and then arranged for the people in the Finance Department to be responsible for collecting money and keeping accounts, and the people in the Purchasing Department to be responsible for sales.
Then Jiang Xia picked out a few women with more well-proportioned figures to be models.
Let them wear some of the underwear she brought.
Those inner wears are specially used to match the clothes in the factory, so that everyone can see the different wearing effects.
When selling clothes, of course you have to let people see how they look on them.
But they were just asked to wear it like this to show everyone the effect, without having to do anything else. Those who are good at speaking would naturally say a few words when selling: "Look, this is the effect of this dress on me! Doesn't it look good?"
Jiang Xia distributed clothes to each person according to their temperament and asked them to change into them.
It was just a clearance sale, not a complicated one. Jiang Xia made some simple arrangements and then said to the factory manager, "Manager, is the portable loudspeaker ready?"
The factory manager immediately said, "We're ready!"
The factory manager asked someone to bring the portable loudspeaker over immediately.
Jiang Xia took over: "I'd like to trouble the factory manager to watch over here to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation. And from time to time, use a loudspeaker to shout, 'Don't miss it if you pass by! Factory direct sales, factory sale, only ten yuan a set! Only ten yuan a set, ten yuan a set, clothes, pants...' I have written down what you need to read on this piece of paper, you just need to keep repeating it! It doesn't have to be exactly the same, just about the same, you can improvise."
Factory Director: “…”
Jiang Xia then signaled everyone to move a batch of clothes to the factory gate first, stack them on wooden frames, and move the clothes hangers to the factory gate as well.
Every style of clothes in stock is hung on hangers with the price marked for customers to consult.
So everyone started working according to Jiang Xia's request.
Jiang Xia also took a coat and prepared to go into the office to change into it.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The factory director's office window has been hung with curtains, turning it into a makeshift fitting room.
She was wearing a white chiffon shirt today and a pair of green military pants.
The shirt was tucked into his pants, and he wore a brown belt and a pair of Martin boots.
Soft and cool!
It’s so beautiful that I can’t describe it.
The factory manager noticed that Jiang Xia had picked up a large size coat and reminded her, "Xiao Xia, you picked up the wrong size coat. It's too big and won't fit you."
Jiang Xia: "Yes, I want this size."
Jiang Xia went into the office and helped a few "models" dress up.
The factory manager couldn't understand why someone would wear a large size when there were clothes that fit them.
After Jiang Xia went to change clothes, someone walked up to the factory director and asked, "Director, is she the new director of our factory?"
Everyone looked at the factory manager.
The factory manager smiled and said, "It's very likely."
He also saw that Jiang Xia was sincere in contracting the garment factory, but he probably didn't have enough money, so he cleared out some of the inventory first.
Otherwise, why would she go to so much trouble to help the factory clear its inventory?
Everyone felt disappointed after hearing this!
"How can I manage a factory when my hair hasn't even fully grown?"
"I thought someone would take over the factory and I would no longer be laid off. It seems I have to find another job."
"That's right. She's too young. I guess the garment factory won't last more than a few months under her control before closing down again!"
…
The factory manager said, "Have you never heard of the saying 'young people are to be feared'? Don't underestimate Xiao Xia. I think she is very educated. She might be able to revitalize the factory. Then everyone won't have to be laid off."
The factory closed down, and the factory director had a way out and didn't have to worry about being laid off, but the workers in the factory were different.
When the factory closed down, they lost their jobs.
He has been managing the factory for twenty years and has feelings for the factory and its workers. He hopes that someone can keep the garment factory running so that the workers will not be laid off.
“Just because you have education doesn’t mean you can manage a garment factory! And it doesn’t mean you can produce clothes!”
"Yeah, I guess he doesn't even know how to operate a sewing machine, so how can he be a factory manager?"
