After teaching Sister Zhao how to make kimchi, it was almost four o'clock. Jiang Yue was going to pick up Ningning from the kindergarten. Sister Zhao went out with her, holding the kimchi jar.
"What delicious food are sister-in-law and Jiang Yue going to make?"
I ran into Wang Weiwei at the door of Zhao's house. Wang Weiwei drooled as soon as she saw the jar of pickled vegetables Zhao was holding. "Sister-in-law, are you pickling pickles? Are they Chinese mustard greens?"
"No, it's kimchi. Jiang Yue taught me how to make it. I still have some at home. Weiwei, come and try it. It's delicious!" Sister Zhao warmly invited Wang Weiwei to her house to eat kimchi.
Jiang Yue said hello to them and rode away on her bike.
After arriving at the county town, Jiang Yue went to pick up Ningning first. After picking up Ningning, she went to the clothing store and found He Jingxuan in the store.
He Jingxuan was obviously here to wait for Jiang Yue, and he also brought Jiang Yue some bad news, "Director Zhou and Manager Zhang of the garment factory have been arrested. Now the garment factory is in chaos and can't start work. Your batch of goods may be delayed!"
"If they can't deliver on time, the garment factory will have to pay compensation, right?" Lian Rongrong, who was standing nearby, became anxious when she heard this.
Foreign buyers attach great importance to keeping contracts. If this batch of goods cannot be delivered on time, it will definitely affect Jiang Yue’s credit.
"Secretary Lin is in charge of the garment factory now, but he has always been an idle person. The production in the factory is managed by Director Zhou and Manager Zhang. To be more precise, it is the cronies of Director Zhou and Manager Zhang who are in charge. So when Director Zhou and Manager Zhang were arrested this time, these cronies united to boycott Secretary Lin and Jiang Yue's goods." He Jingxuan said in a deep voice, "Compensation may not be implemented."
"Why are they boycotting Jiang Yue's products?" Lian Rongrong was puzzled. "Doesn't the factory want to be profitable?"
"Because they all know that I was the one who sent Zhou Gui and Zhang Debao to the Public Security Bureau! Half of the people in this factory are related to Zhou Gui and Zhang Debao, and now they hate me!"
As for efficiency, in state-owned factories, workers have stable jobs and they don't have to worry about going hungry even if the factories are closed for a few months.
And for some people, they are happy to have some free time when they are not working.
So when the economic system was adjusted later, these people were the first to be laid off.
Jiang Yue had anticipated what was happening. Before arresting Zhou Gui and Zhang Debao last night, Gu Ye also told her that Zhou Gui and Zhang Debao had been running the garment factory for many years. Once they were arrested, the garment factory would definitely be in chaos for a while.
"He Jingxuan, will the higher-ups send someone to take over the garment factory?" Jiang Yue pondered for a moment and asked He Jingxuan. After all, it was a state-owned factory, and if there was embezzlement or corruption, the higher-ups would not ignore it.
"There is no news yet, but logically speaking, someone will be sent to take over!" He Jingxuan looked at Jiang Yue admiringly. Although such a big thing had happened, Jiang Yue had always been able to remain calm.
He heard from his uncle, Chief Shen, that Zhou Gui and Zhang Debao were captured by Jiang Yue in Wuligang late last night, with both the suspects and the evidence in hand.
Director Shen also expressed his feelings to him, saying that Jiang Yue looked fragile, like a dodder, but he didn't expect her to be able to withstand so much.
Take what happened in the past few days for example. Most people would be terrified for a few days when facing a villain like Hao Fugui, not to mention that Hao Fugui brought so many people to smash and destroy Jiang Yue's store.
But Jiang Yue didn't seem to be affected at all, and went to deal with the matters of the garment factory immediately.
"Then He Jingxuan, please keep an eye on it for me." Jiang Yue was thinking that she would go to Beijing with Gu Ye next week, and she would not have time to keep an eye on Qingshan County, so she would have to ask He Jingxuan for help when the time comes.
When He Jingxuan heard that Jiang Yue was going to Beijing next week, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay, leave it to me!"
After chatting with Jiang Yue for a while, He Jingxuan stood up and was about to leave. "I have to go to Hujiang Village. This time I went to the provincial capital for a meeting and met some old leaders. They want to order a batch of bamboo chairs and beds. I came to ask Jiang Bing if he can take it over."
Winter is very suitable for bamboo weaving. Firstly, the sunshine time is short and bamboo is not easily sun-yellowed. Secondly, due to frost in winter, parasites and their eggs are frozen to death or in a dormant state, which makes it difficult for winter bamboo to be infested with insects and mold during the production process, and the bamboo weaving products produced are more durable.
Jiang Yue saw He Jingxuan off. He Jingxuan got on his bike and was about to leave when he suddenly squeezed the brakes, propped one leg on the ground, and turned back hesitantly to ask Jiang Yue, "Has Pei Xueyun come to see you these days?"
"No!" Jiang Yue wondered why He Jingxuan mentioned Pei Xueyun for no reason.
"Oh, that's okay!" He Jingxuan lowered his eyelashes, smiled at Jiang Yue, stretched out his hand to pull up the scarf to cover his mouth and nose, "Let's go!"
Jiang Yue narrowed her eyes and looked at He Jingxuan's back, feeling extremely curious. Why did He Jingxuan ask this? Could it be that Pei Xueyun told him that she was coming to see her?
Pei Xueyun and Old Lady Jiang came over two days ago on the day when Hao Fugui led his men to smash and destroy things, and they mocked Jiang Yue harshly. Later, Old Lady Jiang was driven away by Jiang Yue, but Pei Xueyun left with He Jingxuan.
Jiang Yue was actually very curious about the current relationship between He Jingxuan and Pei Xueyun. Judging from He Jingxuan's attitude, he didn't seem to be acting like a dog-licker. But if you say they have no relationship at all, they always look mysterious when they meet.
"Jiang Yue, when do you plan to renovate the house?" Aunt Yang couldn't help but urge Jiang Yue when she saw that she was not in a hurry these two days.
"Don't worry!" Jiang Yue said.
"Oh, how can I not be anxious? The New Year is coming soon, and many people will definitely buy new clothes before the New Year!" Aunt Yang was so anxious, "Didn't you and Cuiling just sort out the children's clothes a few days ago? They are all for winter. If you don't sell them, what will happen to them?"
"That damn bastard had to come and destroy it at this time. What a huge loss!" Aunt Yang cursed. If Ningning hadn't been here, she would have cursed with all kinds of dirty words.
Jiang Yue had actually thought about this. Even in this poor era, every household would buy new clothes for their children during the Chinese New Year. Those who were rich would buy ready-made clothes, while those who didn't have much money would save up cloth coupons and buy some cloth to make their own clothes at home.
Of course, there are also very poor families with many children. In this case, they would alter the eldest child’s clothes from last year and give them to the second child, and then the third child.
Moreover, these clothes are only worn during the New Year. After the New Year, they will be put away and saved for the next New Year.
In any case, there is still a great demand for new clothes before the New Year, and Jiang Yue certainly wanted to seize this business opportunity. Last month, she asked Ajin to help her find cheap and good quality children's clothing, and she received the goods a few days before Hao Fugui and his men smashed and looted.
Who would have thought that the store would suddenly be smashed, completely disrupting her plans.
"Jiang Yue, why not just do it simply and reopen the store? Don't make it too complicated!" Aunt Yang said.
"Auntie, please wait a few more days. I will try my best to reopen the business before the New Year!" Jiang Yue wanted to wait until the matter with Hao Fugui was completely resolved before she could start work.
In the evening, Gu Ye came back and told Jiang Yue that Hao Fugui had sent a message through someone, asking them to meet in the provincial capital the next day.
