Chapter 193 The Good Son Who Knows How to Make Progress
Xiaoyue was fueled by Yu Yaoyang and his wife, and he made a boast without thinking, saying that he would make a name for himself and go to a good school, which would make that old witch Zhang Li die of anger.
After returning to the city, Rutang rode as fast as he could, carrying the things to the home of the high school principal, stuffing gifts and saying nice things to him, and the principal agreed to let Xiaoyue continue to study in the third year of junior high school.
After Rutang told Xiaoyue that she should go to school at the beginning of the semester, Xiaoyue finally came to her senses from her overly enthusiastic state. It was too late for her to regret.
Rutang completed all the formalities. Giving gifts is always useful in any era, and the principal picked the best class for Xiaoyue.
Gui Ning, the academic master, also came in handy. He gave Xiaoyue extra lessons during the rest of the holiday. Xiaoyue's foundation was relatively weak and he had not learned much throughout junior high school, so Gui Ning started from the beginning to tutor him.
Gui Ning is indeed a top student. She organized the entire junior high school curriculum into several lines, from shallow to deep. She taught better than Xiaoyue’s previous teacher, and Xiaoyue actually understood it.
After all, studying is a boring thing. Sometimes Xiaoyue gets annoyed. Seeing his brother collecting medicinal materials and trading goods, he feels itchy inside. Whenever he wants to give up, his godlike sister-in-law will appear like a ghost and say in a very "scheming" way, give up? Okay, think about how Zhang Li looks down on our family...
Gui Ning helped Ru Tang to say a few more words, and Xiao Yue gritted her teeth and continued to study.
In just one holiday, she had caught up with half of the junior high school curriculum. Gui Ning said that after school starts, she will continue to give Xiaoyue extra lessons during the holidays and will make sure Xiaoyue gets into the same high school as her.
Xiaoyue looked at Guining's bright and hopeful eyes, and the idea of giving up became less and less, and she began to feel hopeful.
He wanted to rise up and make progress, not only to win honor for his mother, but also because he didn't want to see Gui Ning's beautiful big eyes filled with disappointment.
The questions in middle school at this age were not as difficult as those in later generations. As long as you can learn from them, it is not difficult to catch up with the progress.
Seeing her brother-in-law studying very hard, Rutang knew that she didn't have to worry about the future, as everything was moving in a good direction.
After solving Xiaoyue's study problem, Rutang focused his energy on tutoring Yu Yaoyang.
Now she doesn't have to go out to do business, so she just practices exercises at home. She also shows Yu Yaoyang a copy of the exercises she did. Yu Yaoyang's basics are a bit weak, so she only lets him do the content that will be tested next year and doesn't let him learn other things to save time.
Yu Yaoyang despised his brother for being unable to resist the temptation of beauty, was tricked by Gui Ning into taking extra lessons, and at night he had to memorize the key points that Rutang had marked for him. There was nothing he could do because his wife had given him too much, and the contents of the small notes were more explosive than the last. His wife said that when the pregnancy was three months and the fetus was stable, she could "discreetly" pay the debt.
Faced with powerful temptation, Yu Yaoyang had no moral integrity and simply jumped into the gentle trap set by Rutang for him, time and time again.
One month later, in the early morning, Xiao Li passed by Yu Yaoyang's room and heard the voice of her older son reciting "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng" from inside. Her jaw almost dropped.
Does Rutang know magic?
The two shriveled seeds in her family were both helped to sprout by Rutang!
Yu Yaoyang could recite such a difficult classical Chinese text by heart. Is he still the feared street urchin from Dali Village?
"Is Brother Yaoyang at home?"
The sound coming from outside the door brought Xiao Li back to her senses.
Director Wu of the garment factory stood at the door, his face full of anxiety.
"I'm here. Why are you here?" When Xiao Li saw Director Wu, she immediately remembered that her daughter-in-law had deceived others into agreeing to pay 100,000 yuan.
"I'm here to ask for help from Brother Yaoyang and his wife...Sister-in-law! You're really good at predicting things!"
When Director Wu saw Rutang coming out, he rushed over excitedly and almost knelt down with his hands raised above his head to worship her. He was really impressed by this woman.
"Well, was my prediction correct?" As soon as Ru Tang saw Director Wu's expression, she knew that everything was as she expected.
Director Wu nodded his head repeatedly and looked at Rutang with almost worshipful eyes. She was right about everything she said!
Rutang gave him some advice and told him to go directly to his superiors and tell them that the clothing factory had developed the popular Sachiko shirt.
The reaction from above was exactly what Rutang had expected. They immediately found their cronies to replace Director Wu, trying to grab the credit. They also threatened Director Wu that if he was unwilling to cooperate, he would be punished. If he was willing to cooperate, he would be allowed to retire early with dignity.
When Director Wu heard this, his legs went limp with fear, but he still remembered the advice Rutang had given him, and he remained calm and negotiated terms with his superiors, saying that early retirement was possible, but he had to be given two months. If within these two months, there were major problems in the garment factory and the people sent by superiors could not resolve them, he could be contacted at any time to negotiate terms.
The leader was very angry when he heard what Director Wu said. He didn't expect that a small director like him would dare to negotiate with the higher-ups. He scolded Director Wu and told him to go back and wait for punishment. Director Wu kept Rutang's teachings in mind and made a harsh remark before leaving, saying that he would be contacted again when the higher-ups couldn't handle the situation, and the price would be different.
I don’t know if it was because the leader was intimidated by Director Wu’s aura, but he did not punish Director Wu immediately, but simply stopped him from continuing to work.
The garment factory bought in a lot of materials and worked overtime to make Sachiko's shirts.
The new factory manager lacks experience and is not as good as Manager Wu in controlling output value. He makes clothes very slowly and languidly. It took him a month to produce a batch. When he wanted to put them on the market, he found that something big had gone wrong.
"All major wholesale markets have stocked Sachiko shirts, and the prices have been reduced to very low levels. State-owned shopping malls are full of Sachiko shirts. The cost of our products is almost the same as the selling price of others. There is still so much fabric left in the market. Fall is coming soon, and we have to throw this batch of fabric away. We can't recover the cost. The higher-ups saw that something was going to happen, so they found me and asked me what to do."
Director Wu told the whole story and felt very relieved at the end. Rutang had guessed everything, and the leader who made him angry came to him with a humble look and begged him.
Yu Yaoyang snorted after hearing this: "This is an amateur managing an expert. Those people are good at playing tricks, but how would they know about management and frontline matters?"
Clothing is seasonal. How could the new factory manager understand this?
They started by focusing on summer materials, but did not know how to increase output and seize the market, which resulted in precious time being wasted and other factories preempted them.
Rutang had long predicted that the Sachiko shirt was a bat shirt, and the manufacturing process was not difficult. Other clothing factories could buy one and take it apart, and then it would be easy to make samples. If they encountered two factories that were very strict about output value and worked overtime, the market would soon be taken over by them.
"I followed my sister-in-law's instructions and made a request to the higher-ups. If we can solve the factory's difficulties and turn losses into profits, they will promote me and give you 100,000 yuan in funding. The higher-ups have agreed. Sister-in-law, please tell us how to solve the factory's current difficulties?" Director Wu asked impatiently.
