Chapter 275: Covering the Bottom
Yi Chichi put away the double cat embroidery, and then showed him Liu Lan's work.
After reading it, Ning Jiandong gave a positive answer.
"It's better than the one embroidered with the spring harbinger."
My skills have improved a lot. "You drew the embroidery pattern."
Affirmative tone.
Yi Chichi nodded, "She is not good at painting."
Ning Jiandong expressed his understanding, but it is always a shortcoming for an embroiderer not to be good at painting, unless Yi Chichi covers for her.
Thinking of this, he hesitated for two seconds and didn't rush to speak out his true feelings. Instead, he asked tentatively, "Are you on good terms with her?"
"fine."
The main thing is that Liu Lan is a girl who knows her limits and etiquette. She is not an ungrateful person and she doesn't take it for granted that you should help me.
On the contrary, if you treat her well, she will treat you well.
He is also down-to-earth and smart.
Just ask, who doesn’t like a girl like this?
Anyway, among the young girls in Kaoshantun, she felt that Liu Lan was the best.
"Do you think she is suitable for long-term cooperation with us?"
Yi Chichi understood immediately that Ning Jiandong had tasted the sweetness of random needlework and wanted to pull Liu Lan into the same boat.
In addition, he also wanted him to make embroidery patterns for Liu Lan.
The plan was good and it took into account the interests of the Friendship Store and Liu Lan, but it cheated her and did not take her interests into consideration.
But it's not that we can't talk about it.
So, she smiled slightly and said meaningfully, "Whether it is suitable or not is not up to me to decide, it has to be you, uncle, who has the final say."
The smile on Ning Jiandong's face froze, as his plan was seen through.
This girl Yi Chichi is smarter than he thought.
He held the cup without saying anything. Wen Shi looked at him and then at Yi Chichi, curled the corners of his lips and took a sip of tea.
It was Ning Jiandong who needed help, not his wife.
He doesn't need to worry too much. The worst that can happen is that the deal fails, but the friendship still exists.
Thinking of this, he relaxed and crossed his legs. Ning Jiandong was very upset by his leisurely look. "Your wife is more capable than you and you are not embarrassed?"
The tone was quite aggressive, and Wen Shi didn't even bother to lift his eyelids when he spoke coldly, "I'm not blushing, I'm too proud to even blush."
He is so lucky to have a beautiful and capable wife.
Others want it but don’t have it yet.
Be grateful! Grinning at Yi Chichi with his big white teeth, he said softly, "Wife, don't listen to Uncle Ning's instigation. In my heart, you are the best. I support all your decisions unconditionally. Everything about you makes me proud!"
Yi Chichi was in a good mood after seeing this expression of determination. "I know. Uncle Ning's words will go in one ear and out the other."
Ning Jiandong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, thinking that it wasn't really necessary.
But this topic is indeed no longer appropriate, otherwise it would be suspected of sowing discord.
You have to be careful when joking, otherwise if you go too far, it's no longer a joke, it will lead to the breakdown of the relationship.
"What do you think?"
The topic returned to the right track again, but Yi Chi Chi pretended not to understand and said with a smile, "My idea is very simple. If she embroiders one piece and you think it's suitable, you can buy one. It's as simple as that."
It is indeed quite simple, but there are not many embroiderers in China who are good at free-stitch embroidery, and even fewer who can show off their work and earn foreign exchange.
Drawnwork and embroidery artworks are needed by the Friendship Stores in all provinces and cities. If they are not tied together directly, they will be the ones who suffer the loss if the goods are intercepted by other Friendship Stores.
If Yi Chichi was there to act as a middleman, he would be 100% sure that he could bring people together. However, Yi Chichi was too calculating and was the typical person who would not give up until he saw the rabbit.
After quickly calculating the pros and cons in his mind, he said carefully, "Well, on the basis of the original employment, the Friendship Store will give you a salary at the level of a master embroidery master... In addition, you will also receive the employee benefits during the holidays... Whether you are on an island or in the Northeast, you can mail it to me. You can also convert it into cash and tickets if you want. What do you think?!"
When he heard this, his eyes suddenly widened. Is this so big?
This is the Friendship Store. They actually offered such good conditions for his wife. They are really trying hard.
It's really hard work.
But in contrast, he had a deeper understanding of his wife's embroidery skills.
Yi hesitated to accept the offer, but asked, "What are my obligations?"
"No less than one double-sided three-dimensional embroidery per year..."
Ning Jiandong pointed at Liu Lan's two embroidery pieces and said with a smile, "Make sure she produces no less than two pieces a year. You are fully responsible for the embroidery samples and the completion of the embroidery. I only have one requirement, it must be a fine product."
This request is not too demanding. Even if Ning Jiandong does not make this condition, she will do so as long as the price is right and she is satisfied.
It is a good thing for her that she is no longer under the control of the Friendship Store but can receive the salary of a master embroiderer from the Friendship Store.
There is no reason why it shouldn't happen.
but--
"What is the price of embroidery?"
"It's the amount you deserve. I won't let you suffer any loss."
Ning Jiandong said sincerely, "I cannot harm the national interests, but I can do my best to satisfy you while ensuring the national interests."
For people who have reached the top in various fields, regardless of whether they can be used or not, smart people will maintain good relationships instead of destroying them when there is no benefit.
If there is already a vested interest, it must be maintained well, because there are many smart and far-sighted people.
Even if you don't want to maintain it, there are plenty of people who are willing to do so.
He wanted to go further and didn't intend to stop at the Friendship Store.
Therefore, the relationship with Yi Chichi must be maintained well.
A master embroiderer who can guarantee a large number of fine products can produce one piece of work that is worth dozens or even hundreds of pieces of embroidery by ordinary embroiderers in the Friendship Store.
The works of ordinary embroiderers are only sold in quantity, while the works of fine embroiderers are sold in quality, and the prices vary greatly.
He asked expectantly, "How about it, do you agree?"
"I can agree to that, but the embroiderer who does random embroidery may not be able to guarantee that he can produce two works in the next two years."
"reason."
Ning Jiandong, who was still happy about her answer in the last second, suddenly became anxious when he heard the following sentence.
"She's pregnant, with twins. The baby is coming soon. Uncle, you have children, so you know how difficult it is to take care of infants and young children."
Wen Shi looked at Ning Jiandong and found that his expression was quite interesting.
He withdrew his gaze and drank a sip of tea silently. This tea was good. If he drank more to block his mouth, he would not have the desire to speak.
Ning Jiandong noticed his gaze, but did not react. Instead, he thought about what his own child looked like when he was an infant.
I suddenly felt a headache.
But he still didn't give up, "Can't her parents-in-law help take care of her?"
Making money is important. If you have money and want your parents-in-law to take care of your children, you can just use the money to keep them quiet. As long as the parents-in-law are not too biased, they can raise your children well.
Yi Chichi just smiled and said nothing.
Ning Jiandong was quite helpless, but he still urged, "Anyway, try to get her to produce two paintings a year. My requirements are not high, just a level like Fish Playing with Lotus will do."
