The title has been changed to "Rebirth of a Lucky Wife in the New Era".

Hao Dan took the clothes Zhang Hongmei handed her and put them on.

“Great, it looks good. I think this is feasible.” Yu Hongxia immediately expressed her opinion, and the other boys also nodded in agreement.

"Our class's vice class monitor works at a cotton mill. He's currently contacting suppliers for fabric. This is the design I drew. As for making it, I'd like to ask women from outside the city to do it. As for sales, let's make a few pieces and ask around at the department stores. If possible, we can also ask around at the department stores around the capital."

If sales are good, we can report it to the student union and the school. We could open a clothing factory.

Do you think this is acceptable? Is it feasible?

"I agree," several people said in unison.

"Alright, we now have two preparations. I hope to see Cheng Guangxu and Yang Yongxin's plans by noon tomorrow."

I'll also have them submit a detailed plan tomorrow. Also, does anyone among us know anyone at a printing factory?

Wang Jingchang laughed, "Our school has a printing press; the vice chairman will have to write an application report and submit it to the chairman."

"This report will be written by senior student Wang Jingchang, and I will be responsible for signing and submitting it."

"No problem, I will definitely submit the report to you by noon tomorrow."

“Vice Chairman, leave the matter of going to the building to me. My uncle is a leader there, so I can go to him. Also, we can go to the building to buy the fabric first,” Yu Hongxia volunteered.

"The fabric issue is not feasible. I'll go ask my classmates about the price later, and I'll make a budget tomorrow. If the cost is too high, there won't be a market for it."

Of course, it would be even better if Senior Yu could persuade the building management to cooperate with us, then we could start work immediately.

"I can take the clothes tonight and ask, and I'll give you an answer tomorrow."

"Alright, that's all for today. Let's meet here again tomorrow at noon."

When Zhang Hongmei returned to the classroom, she found Liang Yongmin and said, "Liang, let's go outside and talk for a bit."

Liang Yongmin stood up, and the two went to the flower bed. Zhang Hongmei cut to the chase and asked directly, "What about the ex-factory price of that fabric we were talking about?"

"Factory price is three cents per foot."

Zhang Hongmei thought for a moment, "A top needs about four feet of fabric, and a good tailor would use four feet, so the cost of the fabric would be 1.2 yuan. I estimate the labor cost would be at least 0.5 yuan. Add in accessories and sales expenses, say 0.1 yuan, so the cost of each garment would be 1.8 yuan. That's acceptable."

"You can find a garment factory to process it."

"I've thought about this too, but it doesn't involve much technology, and I'm afraid we won't be able to do it for very long."

"If the woman in the family takes a look, she can make it too."

"Yes, I was being narrow-minded. Do you know anyone near a garment factory?"

"Yes. Shall we go take a look together tomorrow at noon?"

"I have a meeting tomorrow at noon. Should I send someone with you, or will you go alone?"

"It would be better if you went. How about we go ask after school?"

Is it far?

“It takes forty minutes by bicycle. You decide.”

“Okay, today it’s fine. I’ll go borrow a bicycle for you.” Zhang Hongmei said and headed towards the Department of Political Science.

Zhang Hongmei found Liu Jingze, which surprised him greatly; this girl never took the initiative to contact him.

"What's wrong, Hongmei?"

"Brother Jingze, can I borrow your bicycle from my classmate tonight? We'll go to the garment factory together."

"Okay. But I have to come along. I'll give you a ride, your classmate can ride by himself."

"Okay. I understand. See you at the bike shed after school." Zhang Hongmei was quite satisfied that Liu Jingze didn't press the matter further.

Zhang Hongmei entered the classroom as the bell rang, and now her life was so busy that she had no free time.

After class, Wei Huaqiang came over and asked, "Class monitor, what task did you assign to Liang Yongmin?"

"Let's go to the garment factory and take a look. I need to calculate the costs."

"Wei, were your teachers good to you at your high school?"

"Great! Our teacher is so kind; he always shares his food with me," Wei Huaqiang said, sounding particularly disappointed.

"Could you please ask us if we need a study newspaper?"

What is a learning newspaper?

"I plan to find the five students with the highest scores in each subject during the college entrance examination in our school to create practice questions for each subject and make them into a newspaper. Of course, this project is half public welfare and half money-making, after all, our student council's funding is too short."

“Squad leader, you truly are our squad leader. Don’t worry, I’ll go to the train station on Saturday to find my uncle, who is a train driver, and have him deliver a message to our teacher.”

Don't worry, a lot of people will definitely subscribe. You don't know how tough it was for us in our second year of high school. We didn't have any practice problems at all. It was so painful.

If this really happens, you'll be a benefactor to all college entrance exam takers.

"It's not like that. This idea came from a math genius."

"Impossible. He was only thinking about publishing a book or something. Wasn't it your suggestion?"

"Alright, don't dwell on this issue. Starting today, your task is to help me secretly glean information from the top students. If you can find a few renowned professors to help, that would be even better."

The reason I can't make a big fuss about it is that I haven't submitted the application yet, and it hasn't been approved.

"I guarantee you'll complete the task. You'll be the first top student, so I don't need to do this anymore, right?"

Zhang Hongmei was amused by Wei Huaqiang.

After school, Liang Yongmin and Zhang Hongmei went to the bike shed together, where Liu Jingze was already waiting.

"Hello, Senior Liu."

"Liang, it's better if we address each other as classmates." Liu Jingze was startled by the term "senior."

Liu Jingze carried Zhang Hongmei on his back, while Liang Yongmin rode his bicycle. They arrived at the garment factory in a small county town near the capital in less than forty minutes.

"Squad leader. The factory manager here is my cousin. You can talk to him directly in a bit. There won't be any problems. Besides, their garment factory received more than a thousand bolts of fabric a week ago. It's all the kind of fabric you mentioned, polyester and polyester twill."

"I understand what you mean."

The three arrived at the garment factory's residential compound. Liang Yongmin's cousin, Guo Shidong, was quite surprised to see Liang Yongmin.

"Minzi, why are you so late? And these two?"

"Cousin, this is my classmate. She wants to talk to you about something."

"Please come in. I'll have your cousin-in-law cook for you."

"Comrade, don't bother, we'll leave as soon as we finish talking. Please don't be shy, let's get down to business."

Zhang Hongmei didn't dare to show off in front of the professionals, so she handed over the clothes pattern she had drawn yesterday.

"Please take a look at the style of this clothing first."

Guo Shidong knew at a glance that these clothes would definitely sell well.

"Comrade, what do you mean by this?"

"Comrade, do you think clothes made from this would sell?"

"Yes, and it will become popular."
