After hearing the praise from the deputy director, the other two designers also said, "Yes, when we first arrived, we didn't know much about production except drawing designs and making a piece of clothing. We learned all this from Teacher Jiang."
"Yeah, I just came to the studio and I can't even operate the sewing machine properly."
Several college students originally came out to work part-time to earn some living expenses because their families were poor. However, after coming in, they realized that after studying for almost four years, they only knew the general idea of the factory's production process except for designing clothes. They didn't know that there was so much work to be done to ensure that there were no mistakes in the production work.
To be honest, I learned a lot from Jiang Xia. I feel like I have only learned half of my studies, and the other half is left to be learned.
Normally, even if they want to design a piece of clothing in school, they do it by themselves. They never consider that there are so many tedious things to deal with when delivering a piece of clothing for production.
Teacher Jiang is really nice. He took them to visit the factory and let them understand the entire production process of a garment factory.
Let them know why she asked them to do so many things in addition to design work, instead of just knowing the results but not the reasons.
After participating in the entire process from design to production, they really felt that they learned a lot.
It is a very standardized workflow from design to production.
Now that they have been assigned their jobs and are about to leave, they still cannot appreciate how much Jiang Xia's teachings will mean in changing their destiny.
Once they got their jobs, they applied what they learned from Jiang Xia at work and were quickly appreciated by their superiors. They even mentioned that they had worked with Jiang Xia before, and the factory leaders looked at them differently. They became the ones among their classmates who got promoted and received a raise the fastest.
Of course, this is a later story, and they don’t know it now.
Now they have agreed to hand in their resignation letters to Jiang Xia in a while.
Several people listened carefully to Jiang Xia handing over work to the factory staff.
Jiang Xia handed a purchase document to the purchasing manager and said, "I have already ordered the fabrics for winter clothes. When the time comes, you can contact each factory to see when the goods will be shipped and when they will arrive, and then arrange a car to go to the train station to transport the goods back to the factory."
"Ask the warehouse supervisor to inspect and receive the goods according to the fabric list. Remember to use the color card to check the color of each fabric and the quantity. After the goods are put into storage, arrange production according to the style number."
"As for auxiliary materials, ask the purchasing department to go to the market to look for them according to the auxiliary materials list. If they can't find them, the auxiliary materials card will have the manufacturer's phone number and store address. You can't order the wrong ones, and the quality must be up to standard."
This is how you give bribes to the purchasing department.
"Okay. I'll check the bulk of the goods." The purchasing manager agreed.
Jiang Xia then went on to assign tasks to the workshop supervisor.
"...I have already marked the production order and quantity of each style of clothing. You just need to produce them according to the order. All styles must be produced according to the quantity I require before September. Then we will produce spring clothes."
When the workshop supervisor saw the quantity of each style, he was a little worried: "Is this too much?"
"Not much, just rest assured to produce."
After Jiang Xia explained everything in detail, it was getting late, so he invited them to a restaurant for dinner. The restaurant was set near the hotel where the deputy director and his colleagues were staying, so it would be convenient for them.
After dinner, Jiang Xia drove the six designers back to school.
When getting off the bus, four people handed in their resignation letters: "Teacher Jiang, we have news about our job assignments, so we will quit tomorrow. Thank you for your guidance over the past few days."
Jiang Xia was stunned for a moment. He had asked them a few days ago, and they all said that it would not happen so soon and that they would work on it until the results came out, and they would definitely tell you in advance. He didn't expect that they would say one day in advance.
Liu Weizhen frowned and her voice became sharp unconsciously: "Didn't you say you would wait until the results come out before you quit?"
The four of them were a little embarrassed. Someone said, "Teacher Jiang, I'm sorry! We just found out today that our work assignments have been settled. There is a set time for reporting in. We have to hurry up and report in. If we report in after the time limit, we will automatically give up the job opportunity."
The other three also apologized: "I'm sorry, Teacher Jiang, we just received the notice today as well."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang. If the reporting time wasn't too tight, we would definitely finish the rest of the work."
"Yes, if we were not afraid of delaying the reporting time and losing the assigned work, we would definitely finish the remaining work."
Liu Weizhen: “…”
There was nothing she could do about it.
She looked at Jiang Xia.
Although the winter clothes have been arranged for production and the design department has nothing to do, the deadline for spring clothes has just arrived and only half of the samples have been made. They still need to be revised and there is still a lot of work to be done.
They left suddenly, and only three or four people were left in the studio. Who would take care of the clothes they designed?
Jiang Xia took the resignation letters from several people and did not embarrass them. He replied: "Congratulations, you can go to the studio tomorrow and I will pay you your salary. I wish you a bright future."
"Thank you, Teacher Jiang! I also wish Teacher Jiang good work and a happy life. Then we will go back first!"
After saying thank you and saying goodbye, the four of them returned to school happily.
Jiang Xia looked at the two remaining people who did not leave.
"Wanmei, Xu Ping, have you two heard about your job assignments?"
The two nodded.
Tan Wanmei: "Teacher Jiang, I will give up my assignment and follow you!"
Xu Ping: "Teacher Jiang, I also want to follow you."
Jiang Xia: "Are you sure? The jobs assigned by the state will provide you with a pension when you are old. Do you regret giving it up now? I don't have a pension here."
Tan Wanmei shook her head: "No regrets! My job was assigned to my hometown county, and I don't want to go back."
Xu Ping: "I don't want to go back either. I just want to work with Teacher Jiang."
Jiang Xia didn't say much, just said: "Okay, I will discuss the salary and benefits with you in detail tomorrow, and go to bed early tonight."
After saying goodbye to the three people, Jiang Xia drove away.
Liu Weizhen walked back to the school with them and asked them, "Why did you give up your assigned work and follow Teacher Jiang Xia? You don't have to say it if you don't want to. I'm just asking casually."
She wanted to know whether they really wanted to follow Jiang Xia Changgan.
Tan Wanmei spoke first: "There's nothing I don't want to say. My hometown is..."
Her hometown is in the mountains. Her mother had a difficult labor when she gave birth to her and was injured and could not have another child. Her father abandoned her the next year and married a stepmother who gave birth to her younger brother. Her father was very patriarchal. Every time she went back, her father and grandmother asked her to work after graduating from college to earn money to support her younger brother's studies, and to give her salary to them for their retirement.
Although she grew up in her father's home, her education was supported by her mother who secretly sold mountain products to make money for her studies, and she also relied on her mother to eat her fill.
Now my mother is in poor health and is sick, but we have no money to treat her, and the township hospital can’t cure her either.
She wanted to settle down in the big city, so she brought her mother to live and receive treatment.
So she didn't go back to her hometown to work. If she did, she would have to hand over the money she earned. If she didn't, people in the village would say she was unfilial. If she did, she would have no money to treat her mother's illness.
Not only did she not return to her hometown, she also wanted to follow Teacher Jiang Xia back to her hometown to work in the garment factory.
This way her father wouldn't know where she and her mother lived.
Xu Ping was a man of few words and never mentioned his family affairs to anyone, but when he saw that Tan Wanmei had already told him, he said, "My hometown is in a small county town, and the job I was assigned this time..." (End of this chapter)
