Chapter 276 Praise

When Chen Yi received a meeting notice, she hurried over with her notebook.

Because she has been very busy these days, she doesn't know the number of orders yet.

When she arrived at the conference room, many people were already there. She found a place to sit down and looked around.

Not long after, Director Li arrived with a smile on his face. It was obvious that something good had happened and he looked so happy.

"Since everyone is here, let me talk about the routine meeting."

He first talked about the daily situation in the factory, and then the recent developments.

"This time, our second factory sold more than 70,000 pieces of spring clothing, a historic breakthrough!"

Director Li's face was ruddy and he couldn't hide his smile. He continued, "All these changes are thanks to our new deputy director, Comrade Chen Yi! After he came, our factory changed. Not only did our efficiency improve, but we also received foreign trade orders."

"I don't need to explain what happened in the past, right? So, I want to especially thank Comrade Chen Yi! It was you who led the Second Factory to a staged victory!"

After saying that, he led the applause.

Warm applause broke out, and Chen Yi stood up with a smile. "Director Li, this is all the luck of the Second Factory, and has nothing to do with me. I hope the Second Factory can get better and better. I will stand together with the Second Factory and work hard for production!"

Upon hearing this, Director Li's face showed a look of satisfaction, and he couldn't help but nod repeatedly.

"Director Chen is indeed very conscious. We are lucky to have you here. I hope we can advance and retreat together in the future!"

Others felt that although Chen Yi was young, she did have the ability, which was rare.

If this continues, maybe Plant 2 will surpass Plant 1. When we thought of this, we were very happy and even a little excited.

After saying this, Director Li continued to say to the others: "I received a call from Hong Kong this morning. They will order 50,000 pieces of summer clothing! This is a big order, a big order that will earn you foreign exchange!"

He spoke in a high-pitched voice, as if he wished he could turn into a loudspeaker so that the entire factory could hear him.

This order is really big, which is why I am so happy and can't control my emotions.

Hearing this, Chen Yi was also very surprised, because they didn’t even have any samples, so how could they get an order?

Thinking of Hong Kong, she suddenly remembered that Wang Jinglin seemed to be from Hong Kong.

But why are you in such a hurry to place an order?

Judging from the time, the spring clothes should have just arrived there, right?

After hearing what Director Li said, the whole conference room buzzed with activity, and everyone was discussing what was going on.

But I was more happy because an order of 50,000 pieces at a time is really a lot, and few people can do this.

Director Li was very satisfied with everyone's reaction and said with a smile: "This order is from the merchant who ordered the spring clothes from Director Chen. He directly ordered the summer clothes."

"Now you know why I let Comrade Chen Yi, a young comrade, be the deputy director. He has the ability to do so. I hope you will respect and recognize Director Chen in the future."

In this meeting, he also made his attitude clear, not allowing anyone to bully Chen Yi.

Although he knew about what people had been talking about behind his back, it was useless for him to speak out. After all, everyone has to prove their own worth.

He can help Chen Yi once or twice, but he can't ask her to explain every time, right?

Therefore, proving one's own strength is the most correct way to make these people shut up.

When these words were spoken, everyone felt a little embarrassed, but there were more sincere smiles.

At Chen Yi's age, not only has he been promoted to the position of deputy factory director, but he is also a newcomer to the factory. Who wouldn't question it?

Therefore, they generously admitted their mistakes and expressed their willingness to support Director Chen's work and make contributions to the factory.

After the meeting, Director Li asked Chen Yi to wait for a moment as he had something to say.

Chen Yi stood by and waited. After they handed over their work, Director Li took her to the office.

There was no one else in the room, so the secretary poured the tea and left.

"Director Chen, how do you feel?" Director Li smiled and then took a sip of water.

I talked too much in the meeting just now and my mouth is already dry.

Hearing this, Chen Yi smiled and said, "That's great, Director Li, are those orders real? We haven't made the samples yet."

She was still a little confused about the order, but she was not the one who answered the call, so she was not very clear about the specific situation.

Director Li nodded. "It's true. They said on the phone that the deposit will be remitted in two or three days. We will know then, right?"

"As for the sample clothes, they said you can design whatever you want..."

Director Li did not quite understand what was said. After all, it was an overseas trade order, and he had no idea how Chen Yi negotiated with the other party in the first place.

Generally speaking, people place orders only after seeing the samples. In this case, not only did they place the order before even seeing the clothes, but they also asked others to design them at will.

Chen Yi was stunned for a moment, frowning and not understanding, then said: "Then I will go and design it first, I can't let people feel bad about it."

I don’t know how to deal with the design drawings, and I don’t know whether people will look at the sample clothes after they are made.

Upon hearing this, Director Li felt it necessary to make another phone call to confirm, otherwise it would be a waste of time and he was unsure.

Seeing that he was busy, Chen Yi went back.

In the office, she took out the design drawings she had drawn before. These were more suitable for foreign trade because they were more fashionable and revealed a little more.

It is not allowed to wear like this now. If you want to wear it like this in mainland China, you probably have to wait until the end of the 1980s.

Taking five design drawings, she went to the workshop and asked Li Qing and Wu Mei to make them as soon as possible.

This is going to be used for foreign trade, so time waits for no one.

By the way, let’s take a look at the learning progress of Wang Fanghua and Guo Shufen, they are both doing well.

"Director Chen, we learn too slowly and cannot help you." Guo Shufen looked guilty and embarrassed.

I have been studying for more than a month, but I haven’t even finished learning the basics of drawing.

This makes them feel frustrated as tailors.

Hearing this, Chen Yi smiled and said, "Secretary Guo, you can't be impatient when studying. Think about when you were in school, didn't you take it step by step?"

"Don't worry, take it step by step, we will all depend on you in the future."

Hearing her say this, Guo Shufen and Wang Fanghua both showed a relaxed expression on their faces.

As long as Director Chen says so, then it will definitely be possible.

Seeing how hard they worked, Chen Yi felt relieved. Whether she could relax a little in the future depended on them.

At present, only Li Qing can design independently, and Wu Mei still needs guidance.

Maybe next year, I can relax a little bit, right? Anyway, I won't have to draw designs every day like I do now.

This is indeed very tiring.
