Chapter 123: Factory Director's Conversation

"Look at what you've eaten. It's not even enough to fill my teeth." Ma Li couldn't help but pouting when she saw that she had less than half a box of food.

Hearing this, Chen Yi smiled and said, "Then the gap between your teeth is quite big!"

She really didn't eat much, especially yesterday she ate too much meat and it was a bit difficult to digest.

Ma Li rolled her eyes, pointed at her lunch box and said, "This is the amount of food a normal person eats!"

The box was full of rice mixed with cabbage and potatoes stewed together. It weighed almost two kilograms.

Chen Yi also nodded in agreement, "Yes, you all eat so much, and I have a small appetite."

People nowadays can generally eat a lot, like Liang Xiaoju, who can eat four ounces of rice in one meal, not counting vegetables.

This is not even the state of being full. If you are full, you can probably eat another two taels of rice.

She also discovered that most of the female workers in the factory only had two or three large steamed buns made from two cups of flour and a large box of vegetables.

There is no way. Now there is no oil in the food. If you eat less, you will be hungry before mealtime, especially the workers.

They eat a lot while sitting in the office, but they don’t get hungry that quickly.

When Chen Yi was doing physical work, she also ate a lot every day.

Since I started working in the office recently, I have been eating less.

After dinner, the two returned to the office. A colleague who had returned early saw Chen Yi and said, "Secretary Chen, someone just came over and asked you to go to the factory director's office."

Recently everyone knows about the new clothing, because the factory doesn’t have any new styles, most of them are based on previous orders.

So when they heard that Chen Yi had researched new styles and that the order volume had increased significantly, they were very surprised.

This Chen Yi not only speaks foreign languages, but can also design clothes. It's amazing!

Hearing this, Chen Yi turned to look at Ma Li. It turned out that the factory director was calling her.

Ma Li smiled and said, "Go quickly. What's the point of keeping the factory manager waiting?"

"Okay." Chen Yi nodded, then turned and walked out.

This was her second time to come to the factory director's office, and it was still the deputy factory director Zhang Wenhai. He was in charge of the factory's welfare and worker management. Usually, when there was an application for factory welfare, the final approval also went to him.

Seeing Chen Yi coming, he raised his head and said, "Wait a minute, Secretary Chen, please sit down for a while. We'll talk after Director Zheng arrives."

"Director Zheng?" Chen Yi was stunned for a moment, then walked to the sofa chair opposite and sat down.

Zhang Wenhai smiled and nodded, "Director Zheng is in charge of the factory's production and some external affairs, and I am in charge of internal affairs. He wants to see you, but he hasn't come yet."

After hearing this, Chen Yi understood, nodded, sat down, and didn't ask anything else.

Even if I have questions in my mind, I have to wait for someone to come. The deputy director is also very busy, so he doesn't have time to listen to me asking questions here.

She knew what was going on, so she just had to wait patiently.

Zhang Wenhai sat at his desk, looking at documents, writing and drawing from time to time.

It seems that he is handling work. The factory leaders are usually very busy.

Chen Yi turned her head and looked under the table, because there was a space in the middle of the desk, which was convenient for stretching legs.

There are drawers on both sides, and only the middle part is empty.

She saw that Zhang Wenhai's leather shoes were peeling and very old.

There is also a wooden airplane at his feet, which looks like a toy.

People nowadays are very simple and hard-working. They will continue to wear their shoes even if they are very old.

The same thing happened to workers in other workshops in the factory. Their toes stuck out of their cloth shoes, and then they sewed a patch on top.

Chen Yi looked down at her brand new leather shoes and fell into deep thought.

She cannot help everyone get out of poverty and become rich, because in the future the country will lead everyone towards prosperity!

But she can do something useful.

for example……

"Director Zhang." A man in his thirties came in, wearing a pair of silver-framed glasses on his nose.

"Director Zheng is here, please sit down." Zhang Wenhai stood up with a smile and walked to Chen Yi.

Chen Yi also stood up the moment she saw that person.

"This is Secretary Chen from our factory's purchasing department, and this is Director Zheng." Zhang Wenhai introduced both of them.

Chen Yi nodded politely and greeted him with a smile, "Hello, Director Zheng."

Director Zheng looked at Chen Yi, nodded and said, "You are indeed a promising young man! Secretary Chen's design this time is of great help to the factory. Therefore, the factory decided to reward you with 200 yuan, and this month's ticket will also be doubled."

The factory has always been generous to those who have made contributions.

Moreover, the profit that Chen Yi's drawing brought to the factory was not just two hundred yuan, but almost ten times as much.

This is the current situation, and there will be more orders coming in in the future.

Hearing this, Chen Yi accepted it with a smile, since she had also paid for it.

Director Zheng asked her again if she needed anything.

Zhang Wenhai was also known for being stingy, so he echoed, "Secretary Chen, you have made a great contribution this time, so you can raise any requests you have."

Chen Yi thought for a moment and said, "Director Zheng, I want to find someone who can draw blueprints and has sewing skills to work with."

Work together?

Hearing these four words, the two factory managers in front of them looked at each other.

"Secretary Chen, what do you mean?" Zhang Wenhai didn't understand either, so he asked first.

Chen Yi smiled and continued, "We think the clothes in the factory are quite standard and meet current needs. But you can also see that my new clothes have received a very good market response."

"So, I plan to continue designing, but I'm not good at drawing, so I need someone to work with me."

She came to this decision after careful consideration.

All she can do now is to use some of her memories from her previous life to help the factory design new clothes.

By helping the factory improve its performance, other workers can also benefit.

After all, as performance improves, the lower-level workers will do more work and their wages will naturally increase.

Chen Yi knew clearly that she was neither a superhero nor a political figure.

Therefore, what she could do was the best she could do.

Upon hearing this, the two factory managers looked surprised. They thought that Chen Yi had just made the design by accident.

I never thought that I could design it again.

"That's great, Secretary Chen, how about I transfer you to another position?" Director Zheng felt that Chen Yi's work should be done here, as production was very important.

Chen Yi shook her head. "Director Zheng, I am still adapting well in the purchasing department. To be arrogant, the most important thing is that I am the only one here who can speak foreign languages and is proficient in them."

"If I leave, foreign trade will become as difficult as before. Now I can take care of both. When the time comes, I will design clothes in the factory, and I won't be delayed when I am on a business trip."

This thing can't be changed every day, right? Everything has to be done slowly.

Thanks for Qiyue's reward
