Chapter 111 Expanding New Profitable Business
"This is Xiaoxiao, Dongdong, Yalan, and Xiaocui."
Jin Gui smiled and pulled five slim and young female workers to Zhong Qiao.
"They are all the heads of the textile factories in Dahe Village and the neighboring villages. How about showing them the style you're talking about?"
Zhong Qiao looked at them intently. Jin Gui had already reported everyone's background to her in advance.
Except for Wang Xiaocui, who is already married, the others are all unmarried women. Most of them come from poor families or choose to take private jobs in order to prepare a dowry for themselves.
Several young girls were wearing country clothes, but they were clean and tidy, and obviously they had dressed up carefully.
Zhong Qiao was very satisfied. Only people who have high demands on themselves will treat clothes with care.
While she was looking at others, several young female workers were also secretly looking at her——
Is this the female boss in the city that Jingui mentioned?
So young and beautiful.
Her eyes seemed to be able to speak, with a smile, and her eyebrows were arched. Her face was covered with a thin layer of powder, her complexion was rosy, she wore pearls on her ears, her hair was slightly curly, and carefully groomed, just like a daughter of a scholarly family.
If Jin Gui hadn't told them that the female boss was already pregnant, they really wouldn't have believed that someone could be in such good condition after giving birth.
Zhong Qiao cleared his throat and said, "Then let me introduce myself to you all first."
Her voice is smooth and soft, yet extremely penetrating, with a tenacity like that of wild grass.
"My name is Zhong Qiao. You can call me by my first name. I'm sure you all know why we're here. We're all here to make money. I won't say much more. Please show me your embroidery."
After hearing this, several young female workers took out embroidery from the baskets behind them.
Zhong Qiao looked at them carefully one by one. They were all simple styles, but most of the people had very dexterous hands, with neat lines and dense stitches. Some even had their own clever ideas and could embroider some more eye-catching designs.
Except - the third one.
Zhong Qiao frowned.
This time, Jingui gave them a heads-up in advance and asked them to spend half a month to perfect their embroidery, which was equivalent to selecting the best ones.
But this one, the craftsmanship is obviously a bit rusty, the stitches are too dense, and the shape is a bit distorted.
Zhong Qiao glanced at the young girl standing at the end of the line——
The girl in the red plaid clothes lowered her head and said nothing, but her fingers were constantly twisting. She raised her eyes slightly and met Zhong Qiao's eyes that seemed to see through everything. She immediately looked away guiltily.
Her own embroidery was not bad, but she had inquired in advance and heard that the female boss could only draw blueprints and was a delicate lady who did not know how to embroider, so she did not take it seriously.
Just randomly pile up old embroidery pieces, as long as the colors are bright enough and it looks gorgeous, isn’t that what city people like?
The girl in the red plaid clothes pouted.
Until the next second, Zhong Qiao's verdict ruthlessly shattered her fantasy.
"I'm sorry." Zhong Qiao said calmly as he walked up to her. "You're eliminated."
Look around.
"The rest of you stay."
The girl in the red plaid clothes turned pale in an instant. As for the others, they all had a preliminary understanding of Zhong Qiao in these few short minutes.
Although the female boss is young and beautiful, she is not easy to fool. She only looks at the results.
"Why?"
The girl in the red plaid clothes had never suffered such humiliation. She was the youngest and most beautiful among the group, and her skills were also good. When she went out to work, people would be more tolerant of her because of her beauty. How could Zhong Qiao be so ruthless?
She stepped forward unconvinced and asked: "What did I do wrong?"
A fellow villager pulled her arm, signaling her to stop talking, but the girl in the red plaid clothes didn't even look at her and simply shook her hand away.
"Do city people like you know anything about embroidery?"
Zhong Qiao glanced at her and picked up the embroidery: "Then look at me and answer honestly, do you take your embroidery seriously?"
The girl in red plaid was frightened by her gaze and asked with her neck stiffened: "Is there something wrong?"
Zhong Qiao said, "The pattern is crude, and even the colors are wrong. You didn't take my words to heart at all. Since you can't take embroidery seriously, there's no need to stay here."
"You can go now."
"With my skills, why should I be afraid that others won't hire me? I don't want to stay with you."
The girl in the red plaid clothes knew she was guilty, so she snatched the embroidery from Zhong Qiao's hand and walked away.
Seeing the girl in the red plaid clothes leave, Jin Gui, as the person in charge of selecting this group of outstanding embroiderers, naturally had a responsibility that she could not shirk. She was embarrassed and was about to speak.
Zhong Qiao waved his hand: "Okay, everyone has different temperaments. This is not your fault. Let's get down to business first."
Jingui immediately chose to shut up.
Zhong Qiao said, "I've seen your embroidery, and there's nothing wrong with the pattern and the stitching, but I wonder if you know the process of making a sample garment?"
A few people looked at each other, and a girl with pigtails came out first.
"I work in the sample room. My family owns a tailor shop. I know."
Zhong Qiao looked at Jin Gui and waited for her to nod to indicate that this was true before saying, "Okay, what's your name?"
"Du Yalan." said the girl with pigtails.
"During this period, you will be responsible for the production process and then report to Jingui."
Alan showed joy on his face, but soon became hesitant. The working hours and wages had not been discussed yet, so they were asked to start working?
Zhong Qiao saw through her thoughts and said, "Don't worry, I won't shortchange you on your wages."
"I have a probation period here, which lasts for a month. The salary during the probation period is 40 yuan per month. After the probation period, the salary will be 65 yuan after regularization."
Several people gasped when they heard this.
In other factories, ordinary employees only earn around 30 yuan a month, and technical positions in the city only earn around 50 yuan. The female boss is really generous.
Zhong Qiao scanned everyone's expressions and said slowly, "When can you come to work?"
Several people were ecstatic, thinking that there would be some random chat, but they didn't expect it to be so simple. First, their level was tested, and then they would start working directly. If they could be converted to regular employees, they would earn a lot of money per month.
Most of them were afraid that this opportunity would slip away, so they quickly said they would do it tomorrow. Some even wanted to start working on the spot, but many tools had not been purchased yet, so Zhong Qiao could only ask them to go back first.
After they returned with excitement or reluctance, he invited Jingui into the room and handed her the design drawings.
Jingui took a look and found that it was a skirt, a light blue dress with a style that was eye-catching.
Zhong Qiao explained everything to her one by one: "A blue polka dot dress with puff sleeves to cover up side breasts and thick arms..."
Finally, she asked, "Do you think anyone will like this dress?"
Jingui hesitated.
It's really hard to say. I haven't seen many people wearing this style. Everyone wears straight and rigid clothes, either black or green or blue. Although these clothes look good, there is no guarantee that some people would not dare to try them.
Zhong Qiao thought of the same thing.
