Chapter 84 Jinjiang Exclusive Assistant
Su Ruyi did not expect Lu Ting to react so strongly; his words were much more aggressive than usual.
"You're right, ideas don't form overnight."
Su Ruyi calmed down, but still couldn't help but sigh, "Aunt Chen usually seems like a normal person, and she's not the kind of person who's easily swayed. How come she's so clueless about family relationships?"
If it was for the sake of the child, Fang Yongnian clearly expressed his wishes, but Chen Yiping still insisted on doing things her own way.
"In her view, Fang Yongnian was just a child who was saying things in anger and didn't take them seriously."
Influenced by the social environment, many women today believe that divorce is a very shameful thing, not only for themselves but also for their children to be looked down upon.
Even if children clearly express their opinions, deeply ingrained beliefs can cause them to block out such voices.
This wasn't the first time Su Ruyi had encountered this type of woman; having spent a long time online, she had seen all sorts of people.
But each time, she still felt that her values were being challenged and that she could not understand such thoughts and behaviors. However, if she really became numb to it, it might not necessarily be a good thing.
All she could do was take Fang Yongnian away from that atmosphere, so that he wouldn't become someone negatively affected by his family of origin again.
Fang Yongnian is intelligent and loyal, and he is always eager to help out after class.
Although the little gang that criticized him was nothing special, the fact that they could organize such a large group of people and listen to him showed that they did have some organizational skills, and Su Ruyi was willing to cultivate such a person.
Escaping is shameful but useful, especially in small towns where family relationships are close-knit, and only by maintaining distance can the impact be minimized.
Fang Yongnian's decision to live at school caused another uproar at home, but Fang Yongnian insisted on living at school, and Chen Yiping cried and begged him, but he did not change his mind.
Fang Xiaorong: "It's all your fault for spoiling him. He didn't learn to behave properly before, and now he's making decisions on his own, not taking his parents' opinions seriously at all! This isn't a big deal, but if we let him continue like this, who knows what kind of person he'll become in the future!"
Unable to persuade Fang Yongnian and unable to explain to Fang Xiaorong, Chen Yiping had no other choice but to turn to Su Ruyi for help.
"Director Su, Yongnian listens to you the most. Could you please persuade him? School is not as comfortable as home."
Su Ruyi said bluntly, "Given your family's situation, it's fine for Yongnian to live at school. If Uncle Fang has any complaints, he can come to me."
Chen Yiping immediately fell silent.
Su Ruyi didn't hide the fact that she gave Fang Yongnian money; he had been coming to help all this time, so he deserved to be paid.
Since she had decided to take charge, she wasn't afraid of trouble. She didn't hide from Chen Yiping that she supported Fang Yongnian and even gave him advice. She was just waiting for Fang Xiaorong to come and demand an explanation. Su Ruyi was eager to get started.
Who would have thought that Su Ruyi waited and waited, but no one showed up?
One day, Su Ruyi ran into him on the street by chance. She didn't know Fang Xiaorong. It was Wang Huiting beside her who told her. When Fang Xiaorong saw her, he turned a corner and left, looking rather disheveled and fleeing.
"This guy is a bully only to his own kind!" Su Ruyi didn't believe the other person didn't recognize her. He had clearly glanced at her just now, and had suddenly turned around and changed direction while walking in a straight line.
Wang Huiting laughed and said, "Sister, don't you know your reputation in the county? Everyone says you're the boss, and you have a lot of influence in both the legitimate and underworld circles. A man like him is only good at beating his wife and kids; he wouldn't dare to fight you!"
Fang Yongnian is all grown up now, and Fang Xiaorong doesn't dare to lay a hand on him. Fang Yongnian gets beaten because he's protecting his mother.
"Who's spreading rumors all day long? Before, they said I was a master, but now they're saying I'm involved in both the legitimate and criminal worlds."
Su Ruyi was speechless; she was being made to sound like a bully.
Wang Huiting covered her mouth and chuckled; her sister had completely forgotten about the time she went to their door to beat them up.
Moreover, since the garment workshop was established, a security team has been set up. The security team trains every day, and all of them, regardless of gender, look like they are not to be trifled with.
They escorted the female workers home after their night shifts, making the small county town safer than before at night.
Fang Yongnian insisted on living at school, and after his family's objections were ignored, the matter was dropped.
During this time, Fang Xiaorong declared that if he didn't go home, he shouldn't go home at all. Fang Yongnian wasn't afraid. He would go to the garment factory whenever he had free time on weekends or weekdays, where he could see his mother.
As for his biological father, whether he sees him or not is irrelevant.
Yongnian had rebelled before, but ultimately had to bow down due to financial constraints and the pressure of reality.
He didn't want his mother to worry, but he couldn't bring himself to go south to work, so he had no choice but to compromise and go home.
Now that he doesn't need to go out to work and has money to spend and a place to live, he doesn't think his dad is so scary anymore.
Seeing that her son was doing well after leaving home, and even taller and stronger than before, Fang Xiaorong didn't say anything on the surface, but she had no objection to Fang Yongnian living at school.
When Fang Yongnian saw for the first time that his father, who was like a towering mountain and seemingly invincible, was completely helpless against him, a corner of that indestructible image crumbled in his heart.
This feeling intensified when he sensed Fang Xiaorong's fear of Su Ruyi.
Su Ruyi advised him, "You're not young anymore, it's time for you to stand up for yourself. It's her business if your mother is soft-hearted, you should do what you believe is right."
Su Ruyi didn't have time to keep a close eye on this family. As long as Fang Yongnian's condition was fine, that was enough. However, she didn't completely ignore him either.
She told Grandma Sun that if she saw any injuries on Chen Yiping, she should immediately call the police and report that she had been intentionally harmed.
As for who hurt him, let the police investigate.
Su Ruyi's reasoning was perfectly valid: "Those injuries clearly showed that I had been beaten. If I don't call the police, people will say that there is bullying of workers in our factory, and I don't want to take such a big blame."
After the garment factory expanded, although the daily output was very large, basically producing as much as it could sell, Su Ruyi still specially formed a sales team.
Many of the sales team members were the same people who used to sell hula hoops.
Unlike before, these people are now formal employees of the factory. Although their main income is commission, they also have a basic salary.
Travel expenses and other costs can also be reimbursed, providing more protection than before.
The hula hoop market is still doing well, but growth is not as easy as it was in the beginning. After expanding the market, they handed over their work to others and came to work with Su Ruyi.
Xu Xiaonan was puzzled: "Our factory's clothes are in short supply even with three shifts working, and orders are booked a month in advance. Why do you need to set up a sales team?"
With the Asian Games in full swing and the hula hoop competition as a prelude, leggings are now incredibly popular.
These pants are now popular in Liulin County as well. At first, some people thought they were too figure-hugging, but now nobody says that anymore. Not only adults, but children also like to wear them.
People from other places come here every day to buy goods; their factory's pants never have to worry about selling.
Adding a sales team now will also increase costs.
"We can't just focus on the immediate future. How big is Liulin County? How many people does it have? The sales volume is limited."
“People from nearby counties and even cities come here to buy goods.”
Su Ruyi shook her head, "That's only so far. If our factory wants to continue to thrive, we still need to travel more. Not just to other cities, but also to expand our sales channels to other provinces."
Qing Province borders eight other provinces, most of which are not as developed as Qing Province, making them potential markets for expansion.
Since Su Ruyi has already opened a factory and is receiving significant support from the county government with favorable policies, no one has caused her any trouble so far. As long as they meet the regulations, they pass normal inspections on the first try.
Su Ruyi tried her best to do this well, pave the way, and reap the benefits.
She currently has no plans to expand into other styles of clothing, which requires more professionals. Her current goal is to perfect these two styles; as workers become more skilled at making the same designs, production time will be shortened, thus reducing costs.
"Does that mean our factory needs to be expanded?"
Su Ruyi nodded: "As long as the sales channels can be opened up, we will definitely expand."
The factory buildings that the textile factory built before are already in use. If we want to hire more workers, we will have to build new factory buildings.
The factory is currently building an office building. Since it only needs to be two stories, the construction is progressing quickly, and it is already halfway complete.
The new canteen has been put into use. Although it is just a simple bungalow, it looks decent compared to the previous makeshift kitchen that looked like a shack.
Although their factory was still very rudimentary compared to other factories, it was gradually taking shape.
Xu Xiaonan was very happy to hear this. After the first month's salary was paid, no one questioned their factory anymore.
The employment situation in the county is not good now. Many people who want to work after graduating from junior high school can only go to other places. Many people are unwilling to leave their hometown, especially girls who are worried that it is dangerous outside.
If the factory expands its workforce, it can solve the employment problem for many people.
"I'm going to the provincial capital in a couple of days, and I estimate it will be at least a week before I'm back," Su Ruyi said.
The store in the provincial capital is doing very well now, and they call every day to report on the situation. But if you want to know the specific situation of the store, you still have to go and see for yourself.
This is Ruyi Apparel's window in the provincial capital, and it is very important.
"Don't worry, factory manager, you'll take good care of the rear."
Su Ruyi smiled and said, "I believe you have the ability!"
Xu Xiaonan was overjoyed after hearing this.
I won't let you down!
“You have a lot of work. See if you have a suitable assistant. Also, Director Zhou needs a junior assistant to do some miscellaneous tasks.”
Xu Xiaonan quickly waved her hand: "I can manage on my own, I don't need an assistant! But Director Zhou really needs someone to lend a hand. She is currently in charge of both production and new product development, so she is indeed very busy."
Director Zhou is Zhou Xiang. She is very meticulous in her work, and after becoming the director, she became even more demanding. With her around, no defective product can leave the factory. She has become Su Ruyi's right-hand woman.
“If you, the great general, are worn out, wouldn’t I be the one who feels sorry for you? You also need to delegate the miscellaneous tasks you’re handling; you can’t do everything yourself.”
Su Ruyi saw Xu Xiaonan's efforts; she was intelligent and particularly eager to learn.
She is young but has a composure that is not common among people her age, unlike this fake eighteen-year-old.
Su Ruyi is determined to nurture such a talent, and plans to send her to the provincial capital for further studies after some time.
Xu Xiaonan still found it hard to accept. She felt that she could manage on her own and didn't feel it was hard work. She was full of energy every day.
However, since Su Ruyi had said so, she would do as she was asked.
After arranging things at the factory, Su Ruyi took the design drawings and headed to the provincial capital.
As soon as I got off the bus, I saw Lu Ting and his car already waiting on the side.
