Chapter 328: Got a blind date

After Yu Mingjie was discharged from the hospital, he rarely came to Changyuan.

But he still took jeans off the shelves and switched to wholesale short-sleeved shirts, and increased the number of employees from two to four.

They are all employees of Wanzhuo Clothing Company.

Changyuan's short-sleeved shirts are wholesaled for five yuan each, and business is still booming.

Su Jiaojiao knew in advance that Changyuan would wholesale short-sleeved shirts and was not surprised.

She wants to make a batch of spring and autumn baseball uniforms and sell them wholesale after the summer vacation.

Baseball jackets are a timeless classic, and when paired with jeans, they are definitely more practical and fashionable.

Since changing her career path, Su Jiaojiao has become more cautious in choosing fabrics and styles. Zhang Miaomiao's family originally made mid-range clothing, and she has her own purchasing channels, so she does not accept processing orders for materials supplied by her.

But Zhang Miaomiao was very willing to make this batch of baseball uniforms for Su Jiaojiao, not for any other reason, but because Su Jiaojiao told her that the shipping price of Changyuan's short-sleeved shirts would be around five yuan, so she asked her to do it according to her ability.

Although Qili Garment City is a bit far from Wudaokou Market, with the experience of jeans as a lesson, she switched to mass production of long-sleeved shirts to avoid competition with Changyuan.

As a result, Changyuan not only rented a store in Qili Clothing City, but also the shipping price of his short-sleeved shirts was actually five yuan.

The cost price of Zhang Miaomiao's short-sleeved shirt is five yuan. If she really fights with Chang Yuan, she will definitely not be able to win.

Changyuan not only has low prices but also large quantities. A large truck unloads goods at the door every day. In addition, the jeans sold well in the past two months, so many retailers went to Changyuan to stock up.

After much deliberation, Su Jiaojiao decided to use the fabric from Dahua Cotton Mill No. 3.

She chose four colors: white, gray, black and red, made of pure cotton, with a loose and simple style. The only auxiliary materials were the buttons and the ribbed elastic fabric on the collar and cuffs.

These days she has been running around the accessories market to buy accessories, then calculating costs, writing production process sheets, and going to Zhang Miaomiao's garment factory to make samples.

Miaomiao Garment Factory is similar in scale to Jiali Garment Factory, and also has eight assembly lines. However, their factory building is a bungalow, not a building, and all the workshops are built around the yard.

Although it is located in a village in the suburbs, the location is very good and is only an hour away from Qili Clothing City.

Their clothing factory is located at the east end of the urban village. It has been open for more than ten years and most of the employees are from the village.

Zhang Miaomiao's father is in charge of production, her mother is in charge of the canteen, her husband is in charge of finances in the office, and she is in sales at Qili Clothing City.

The family has a clear division of labor.

When Su Jiaojiao went there, she was received by Zhang Miaomiao's mother Wang Xiuxiang.

Wang Xiuxiang still looked the same as I remembered, about sixty years old, not tall, with wrinkles at the corners of her eyes when she smiled, and she always smelled like chopped green onions.

Zhang Miaomiao also has a younger brother, Zhang He, who is twenty-four or twenty-five years old. He does not work in his family's garment factory, but is the head of a Korean company, which is said to be engaged in automotive cables.

Perhaps because her son had reached the marriageable age, Wang Xiuxiang was very friendly when she met unmarried girls, especially Su Jiaojiao. She simply held her hand tightly and took her to the workshop to make samples. She also secretly called Zhang He to ask him to come back for lunch at noon.

It was impossible to finish making samples in one morning. When it was time for lunch, Su Jiaojiao wanted to have a quick bite in the cafeteria and continue making samples in the afternoon.

Who would have thought that Wang Xiuxiang actually asked the cafeteria to prepare a large table of dishes, and Zhang Miaomiao's father Zhang Boyan even drove out to buy champagne. What made Su Jiaojiao even more speechless was that Wang Xiuxiang also called Zhang He back from the company.

Zhang He was dressed in a suit and tie, tall and handsome, spoke in a steady manner, wore glasses, and looked very gentle. His eyes and eyebrows were somewhat similar to Zhang Miaomiao.

But she came here to make samples, not to go on a blind date.

Su Jiaojiao was so embarrassed.

How to place this order?

Especially since Wang Xiuxiang asked her in front of Zhang He if she had a partner?

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble in the future, she had to say that she had a boyfriend who worked at Jiahe Group.

There was no other way, she had to bring Lu Jingyou out to block it.

Anyway, they wouldn't ask her boyfriend's name, and she wouldn't tell them even if they asked.

But Wang Xiuxiang didn't care: "It's normal to have a boyfriend when you're in school. My Zhang He also had one when he was in school."

"I was young and ignorant at that time." Zhang He smiled, and seeing that Su Jiaojiao was embarrassed, he quickly changed the subject and talked to Su Jiaojiao about clothing.

Although he doesn't work in his own factory, he is not an outsider.

"Zhang He used to work in our family's garment factory, but his girlfriend broke up with him because she didn't like him being a grown man dealing with clothes all day. That's why he went to work at the electronics factory," Wang Xiuxiang sighed. "I don't think we garment workers are inferior. Who doesn't wear clothes? Who doesn't wear clothes made in a garment factory?"

"Mom, please stop talking about the past." Although it was the first time Zhang He met Su Jiaojiao, he was not unfamiliar with her because of Zhang Miaomiao. "I've heard my sister talk about you many times. She said you were amazing for starting a business while you were still in school."

"It's nothing serious, just a small fight." After eating a few bites, Su Jiaojiao couldn't sit still anymore and said she wanted to go to the workshop to take a look.

Zhang Boyan, who had been silent the whole time, waved his hand and said, "Zhang He, accompany Miss Su to the workshop. You know clothing, so finish the work quickly and send her back. It's not easy to get a car here."

"Thank you, uncle. I can go back by myself. You just do your thing." Su Jiaojiao became more and more embarrassed. How could she not remember that Zhang Miaomiao had such an enthusiastic father and mother, and such a handsome brother.

"It's okay. I'm not busy at work today, so I just happened to drop you off on the way." Zhang He said politely, "Although you are my sister's friend, you are also a client. It's my duty to take you home."

Zhang He really understands clothing.

He also knows how to sew using an electric sewing machine. He looked at the style of the baseball jacket and said that the two big pockets were the most eye-catching and he liked it very much.

With his help, the sample clothes were finished quickly. Su Jiaojiao checked them carefully and found no problems.

Zhang He took her to the technical department and asked them to make a sample and prepare for production.

This baseball jersey comes in three sizes: M, L, and XL.

These three sizes are enough to satisfy people who like to wear baseball uniforms, mainly because there are not many people who are too fat in this era, so there is no need to produce extra large sizes.

Zhang Miaomiao’s parents are so enthusiastic.

He insisted that Zhang He send Su Jiaojiao back, saying that it was on his way.

Su Jiaojiao couldn't refuse, so she had to get into Zhang He's car.

Zhang He's car was very clean, with aromatherapy in it and several magazines on the seat. He seemed to be a person who loved life.

Buying a car needs to be put on the agenda as soon as possible. It doesn’t have to be an expensive one, just a cheap one will do. Otherwise, it will be too inconvenient.

It was still early, so Zhang He sent Su Jiaojiao back to Wudaokou before driving back to the company.

Yang Chunhua was whispering something with Ji Zhiqiang's wife at the door of the store. When she saw Su Jiaojiao coming over, she immediately waved to her: "Jiaojiao, come here, I have something to tell you."
