Chapter 233 Trench Coat Collaboration
Cen Yan glanced at the list of those who had passed the qualification exam, and since the rankings were not in any particular order, her name was on it. She then stopped looking and went directly to the Health Bureau to collect her junior TCM physician qualification certificate. This would make it perfectly legitimate for her to practice medicine and save lives in the future.
After obtaining the junior qualification certificate, Cen Yan tossed it into her spatial storage to ensure its safekeeping. Then, thinking that it was time to meet Dai Duo, she decided to make a detour to the Dai family's residence.
When Dai's mother saw Cen Yan arrive, her face immediately lit up with a smile. "Comrade Cen, you're here! I was just talking to Xiao Duo this morning about when you were coming. The clothes are all ready, Xiao Duo, Xiao Duo?"
"Hey!" came the reply from inside the house.
Mother Dai said loudly, "Comrade Cen has arrived. Come out and greet him. Comrade Cen, please have a seat. I'll make you some tea."
"Thank you for your trouble."
When Dai Duo came out, she was holding a set of ironed and folded clothes.
"Cen Yan, this is the trench coat you ordered. The down jacket is still a bit short. If you come tomorrow, you can check both sets together. Take a look at this trench coat first. It's my first time making one, so I don't know if it will suit your taste. The size should be fine."
Cen Yan didn't know Qi Jingchuan's size, but she had a set of men's military uniforms. Dai Duo was a professional tailor, and using the men's military uniforms, she measured the right size. This trench coat should fit Qi Jingchuan's figure well.
As for the quality, she tried bending it on both sides and then put the trench coat on. In just two or three minutes, her body warmed up. It did achieve the effect of windproofing, but she didn't know how waterproof it was.
However, trench coats, as the name suggests, are used for wind protection and warmth. As long as the fabric doesn't get soaked easily, the waterproof effect is generally not a problem.
"Dai Duo, your craftsmanship is excellent. The clothes you make are even better than those in department stores." Cen Yan didn't hold back her praise. Good things are good, and bad things are bad. She didn't stand on ceremony with Dai Duo.
It was seeing Dai Duo's craftsmanship with her own eyes that made Cen Yan even more determined to do what she was going to do next.
Dai Duo was just a small-time seamstress. Usually, people who came to her door were asking her mother to make or sew clothes for them. She would just help out. This was the first time someone had praised her like this.
"In the end, it was Comrade Cen's trench coat design that was really beautiful. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to make such a nice garment, and I wouldn't have been waiting for a job at the garment factory for so long... Sigh! Why am I telling you all this?"
Dai Duo wiped away the tears that had welled up with her from excitement and smiled through her tears.
"As for the down jacket that Comrade Cen wanted, we'll have to wait. If you're in a hurry, I can make it now and it can be ready before dinner. Comrade Cen can stay for dinner before leaving."
"There's no rush about the down jacket. I can come back tomorrow, it'll be the same." Cen Yan was even happier to learn that Dai Duo didn't currently have a formal position.
Looking around to make sure no one was around, he took Dai Duo's hand and whispered, "Would you be interested in discussing a collaboration with me?"
"Cooperation?" Dai Duo was puzzled.
Cen Yan got straight to the point: "I need a thousand trench coats of this quality, delivered before the Winter Solstice, in both black and white, one size fits all. Can you make them?"
The standard trench coat is unisex and looks high-end and classy. Since it's one size fits most people, it's easy to fit into most people who aren't particularly strong or overweight, thus avoiding losses due to sizing issues. If she were to sell it back on Dongming Island, Cen Yan believed she could definitely make a small profit.
After a preliminary look at the market, we will expand the production of trench coats next winter, provided that Dai Duo is willing to cooperate with us.
