After Jiaojiao's reforms, the garment factory quickly started production.

Having worked in the business world for so many years, Jiang Ning naturally attracted many people to support her daughter's clothing factory as soon as it opened.

She received several orders immediately.

These orders range from a few thousand to tens of thousands of pieces. After receiving the orders, the relevant departments work together to produce the clothes according to the requirements within the specified time.

During the training, Huo Xiao sent his best garment workers to train everyone, and the garment workers in the factory were naturally able to make clothes quickly and well.

A skilled garment worker can produce hundreds of garments a day.

Jiaojiao works on a commission system. If she produces an extra garment after exceeding a certain daily workload, she will receive a share of the profits.

A skilled worker can earn a hundred yuan a day.

The factory initially received orders through referrals from acquaintances. Later, as people saw the excellent workmanship of the garments and the factory gained recognition, they started receiving organic customers and even some export orders.

Because of the success of the first factory, Jiaojiao bought several more garment factories and, following the same method, successfully opened a second and third factory.

She categorized these factories into men's, women's, and children's clothing, assigning each factory a different production task.

In less than a year, Jiaojiao has already established herself in the garment processing market in the capital, and she is the first person people think of when they need work.

The clothes produced by the Yansha Garment Factory, which Huo Xiao is in charge of, have long been eliminated by the market and are beginning to decline. At present, it mainly makes work clothes for factories to maintain its business.

Jiaojiao quickly incorporated Yansha Garment Factory into her reform goals.

On a sunny afternoon, Jiao Jiao led her team to Huo Xiao's office.

Huo Xiao was somewhat shocked to see Jiao Jiao's serious demeanor.

"Jiaojiao, if you want this factory, you could just say so. Why make such a fuss?"

Huo Xiao quickly invited the person to the sofa.

Jiaojiao sat down on the sofa, took the water the receptionist poured for her, and spoke respectfully:

"Uncle Huo, you can't say that. You've managed this factory for years, you must have developed a strong attachment to it. I'm here to discuss cooperation with you. I'm not doing this on my mother's orders!"

Huo Xiao sat down and chatted with her about the current situation at the factory. He could only say that old clothing brands were indeed struggling to survive under the impact of new brands and styles; the company was already on the verge of losses.

If things continue like this, within two years, this garment factory will become a liability for the company and will inevitably face bankruptcy.

Jiaojiao proposed turning the garment factory into a simple processing plant, which was quickly approved by Huo Xiao.

The two discussed the possibility of cooperation.

That day, when Huo Xiao returned home from get off work, Song Jia was wearing high heels and an expensive Chanel-style coat.

"I heard Jiaojiao went to the factory to see you today?" Song Jia said to Huo Xiao while changing her shoes.

Huo Xiao washed his hands, sat down at the dining table, and waited for the nanny to set out the food before calling the two children out to eat.

The two children came out of the house, each carrying a game console. After calling their parents, they quickly started eating with their chopsticks.

"Eat slowly, and no more video games after you finish eating! You're all grown up!" Song Jia was annoyed that they weren't even eating properly and only knew how to play games.

They both work at the restaurant now, one in finance and the other in purchasing, their jobs are quite easy.

Huo Xiao then picked up on what she had just said: "Jiaojiao wants to change the factory management office into a processing plant, and then take on processing orders."

He began to eat slowly and chew carefully.

Upon hearing this, Song Jia's expression became quite subtle.

"Huo Xiao, you've helped Jiang Ning manage the garment factory for so many years. Even if you haven't done anything outstanding, you've certainly put in a lot of effort. Isn't what she did a slap in your face? I'm going to have a serious talk with Jiang Ning about the name change."

Huo Xiao sensed her resentment and quickly advised her, "Don't meddle. This has nothing to do with President Jiang. I think reform is inevitable. Just because she's Jiaojiao doesn't mean you can be resentful!"

Over the years, Song Jia has always felt that Huo Xiao was wasting his talents in that garment factory, as he never earned much money.

His own restaurant, after years of development, has now become a signature restaurant, earning millions a year, which is many times more than Huo Xiao's.

She wanted Huo Xiao to help her, but he refused, saying he was used to working in the clothing industry and couldn't do anything else.

Besides, he felt that he should be grateful. Back then, when they came to the capital, wasn't it thanks to Jiang Ning that they were able to settle down?

He gave her a job and helped her open a restaurant. Now the two of them can live in a big villa and have a nanny at home. Didn't they establish themselves from the very beginning?

Song Jia initially thought the same way, but as her life gradually improved, her mindset changed.

She felt that her family was no worse than Jiang Ning's, and her children were no worse than Jiang Ning's. Why should she feel inferior?

These days, she visits Jiang Ning for tea less often, and has instead developed her own new circle of friends.

She now has an idea: to build some connections so that her child can get a job in a government department. That way, when she tells others that her child is an official in the capital, how prestigious that would be!

So now she often goes to play cards at the wives of officials, and has gotten to know a lot of people within the system.

She was also looking for a good job for Gu Xiao. Since he didn't want to come to the restaurant, he could do something else.

Now that Jiaojiao can sit down with Huo Xiao to discuss reforms, her feelings are even more complicated.

The next day, Song Jia invited Jiang Ning for tea and they talked about the garment factory.

"Jiajia, don't worry. It's good that Huo Xiao's factory manager position has been changed. He can join the group now."

Jiang Ning had long thought about Huo Xiao's situation. Although Huo Xiao's abilities were not outstanding, he had worked in the garment factory for many years, and he could still easily become a middle-level deputy in the group.

Upon hearing that it was just a deputy position, Song Jia didn't say anything on the surface, but she was full of complaints in her heart.

"Ningning, then I'll do as you say," she said sullenly.

After returning home, she told Huo Xiao to quit working at the garment factory, as there was no future for him there.

“A friend of mine has just started a new company and needs a manager. The salary is 200,000 a year. Why don’t you go to that company?”

Song Jia suggested this to Huo Xiao.

Huo Xiao disagreed, "Didn't President Jiang want me to go to the group? So what if I'm a deputy? That's still a promotion. Positions at headquarters are inherently higher than those at subsidiaries."

Song Jia was furious. People didn't take him seriously at all, yet he was still acting like a loyal minister, oblivious to the times.

To get Huo Xiao to accept his fate, she went directly to him and agreed to give him the position of manager, saying that he would definitely report for duty in ten days.

When Huo Xiao found out, he was so angry that he stomped his feet and ignored her for several days.

He couldn't understand why someone who used to be so clear-headed was now so confused.
