Going through the entire process of gathering additional materials and taking statements at the police station took quite a bit of time.
By the time Zhou Qiqi came out, it was already quite late.
With the factory on her mind, she hurried to the First Garment Factory.
For the past two weeks, she has devoted herself entirely to Zhouzhou's treatment at home, and has barely taken care of things at the factory. She feels a little guilty about it.
When she rushed to the factory and looked around inside and out, her anxiety subsided considerably.
The factory was bustling with activity as the machines roared and the workers performed their duties. The assembly line was busy yet orderly, and everything seemed to be running smoothly without her presence causing any chaos.
This is all thanks to factory director Zhang Guoqiang.
However, it wasn't just Zhang Guoqiang's achievement; Zhao Damei also played a part in it.
After that ordeal, Old Master Liang's mind became completely clear, and he couldn't stay idle.
He not only took over the care of the three children, but also took over Zhao Damei's original flower-selling business. Every day, he happily drove the donkey cart out, saying it was to exercise and supplement the family income.
Zhao Damei is now completely free.
After finishing her work at the stall each day, she spent most of her remaining time at the garment factory, dating Zhang Guoqiang and helping him out as well.
This is also a unique way for the two of them to date.
To be honest, although Sister Mei came from the countryside and had never seen much of the world before, she was initially clueless about many things in the factory.
But she is a very dedicated person, willing to put in the effort to learn, and quick-witted. She can learn anything very quickly and master it very fast.
It seemed like he was born to do this job; in no time at all, he was able to manage all the affairs of the factory clearly and thoroughly.
For some meticulous tasks, such as checking orders, arranging production schedules, and communicating with experienced workers about process details, she is even more meticulous and thoughtful than some of the veteran employees.
In addition, the courage and eloquence she developed from dealing with customers from all over the country every day in the wholesale market have enabled her to confidently chat and laugh with even large clients from out of town without showing any timidity.
This transformative change left Zhou Qiqi both surprised and gratified, and she couldn't help but look at her with new respect.
Right now, the factory's main product is the "Ink and Wash Splendor" series designed by Zhou Qiqi. Orders are pouring in like snowflakes, and the workers are working overtime and still can't keep up with the demand, so they don't have time to do anything else.
This is also worry-free; there's no need to think about developing new products, just maintain existing production.
Zhou Qiqi handed over the design sketches of several new spring outfits that she had drawn in her spare time a few days ago to the pattern maker, Master Ma.
After giving her a few more brief instructions and seeing that there was nothing else she needed to worry about, she felt relieved and prepared to leave.
It's almost noon now.
The elderly couple from the Shen family are probably only halfway through their medical check-up at the hospital, so they definitely won't be able to go home for lunch.
She had already informed Zhu Yingying, asking her to pick up Zhouzhou at noon and take care of the child for lunch.
Actually, she doesn't need to worry about her family at all.
Besides Yingying, Dr. Wu and Dr. Chen, who are in charge of Zhouzhou's treatment, have also been stationed at the Shen family home for a long time, constantly observing the child's condition.
But she didn't know what was wrong with her today. After leaving the police station, her right eyelid kept twitching, and she felt very uneasy and couldn't calm down. She kept thinking about Zhouzhou.
After finishing her work, she would always stop by the state-run restaurant to treat herself to a good meal, order a couple of dishes, and enjoy a delicious meal.
But today, despite smelling the aroma of food wafting from the entrance of the state-run restaurant, she had no appetite at all, and the feeling of unease in her heart only intensified.
She hesitated for a moment by the roadside, but in the end, she didn't go to the restaurant. Instead, she flagged down a donkey cart heading towards the suburbs, gave the driver a few cents, and rode it directly back to the military compound.
When she reached the door, she got off the donkey cart and walked towards home, absentmindedly thinking that when she got home, she would just make herself a bowl of plain noodles and make do.
After walking a few steps, I saw a familiar figure standing under a poplar tree by the roadside, talking to someone next to him with a serious expression.
It was Captain Li, dressed in civilian clothes.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickened her pace.
How long has it been?
She finished collecting the necessary documents at the police station and then went to the garment factory. It had only been two or three hours, but Captain Li and his team had already started their arrest operation.
That's incredibly efficient!
But then, a doubt arose in my mind.
She clearly remembered that Captain Li had mentioned before that, in order to minimize the impact and avoid alerting the suspects, the arrests should be carried out in secret.
Looking around, besides Captain Li, there seem to be other police officers, and in the distance, you can also see a few figures in police uniforms moving about.
While this wasn't exactly a grand spectacle, it certainly didn't have much to do with the word "secret."
Suppressing her curiosity, she quickly walked over, greeted them, and asked:
"Captain Li, what's going on...? The operation has already started? Didn't we agree to..."
Captain Li turned around at the sound of her voice, and when he saw it was her, his brows furrowed even more, and his expression turned rather unpleasant.
He sighed, lowered his voice, and said with some annoyance:
"Sigh! Don't even mention it! Plans can't keep up with changes! Everything was arranged perfectly, a secret control, a direct escort, but who knew... on our way here, some link in the chain leaked the news! That woman He Wanrou is more cunning than a fox, she must have found out beforehand!"
