Chapter 49: I like to be a matchmaker when I get older
It’s a pity that down jackets of this era are still relatively conservative in style.
Basically, they are regular styles that are not easy to go wrong with.
Not many colors either.
Xia Keqing bought herself a black, a brown, and a white one.
They are all versatile colors.
I bought a light blue one for my sister Xia Kexin.
The little girl is young and likes to be pretty, so she looks better in brightly colored clothes.
My younger brother Xia Zhijie’s is black.
Shen Jichuan's is also black.
One black and one brown for my parents.
After taking a look at them, I found that they were all black and brown.
The owner of the down jacket shop kept recommending bright red and rose red to her.
Xia Keqing: ...
This is the conventional aesthetic of later generations, and no one can persuade her otherwise.
After buying the down jacket, Xia Keqing returned to the place where she had bought clothes before and took away all the clothes she had bought. There were so many things, luckily it was not far from Xuefei Garment Factory, so we hailed a three-wheeled tricycle and arrived in ten minutes.
Xia Keqing felt sad that this era was indeed inconvenient. It was inconvenient to contact people when you were out without a mobile phone.
I don’t know if Aunt Hong has come back.
Xia Keqing estimated that after she left the Xuefei Garment Factory, she went on a shopping spree at two places to buy a bunch of clothes, plus took a tricycle back home, which should have taken less than an hour in total.
I don’t know if she can raise the money during this period.
Xia Keqing had thought about borrowing money.
But she and Yu Hong are only partners. Although they have some personal relationship, in Xia Keqing's heart, she is not close to her, at least not as close as her roommates.
In this situation, if the other party doesn't take the initiative to ask for money, it would be offensive for her to ask for it.
Although she is rich, she is not a living Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering.
Yu Hong’s ability to solve money problems on her own is her ability.
If there is really no other choice, she is willing to ask for help and she will not be stingy.
Because she didn't have a cell phone, she made an appointment with Yu Hong to meet up at Xuefei Garment Factory after finishing her business.
When Xia Keqing returned to the garment factory, she didn't see Yu Hong and guessed that the procedures would not be so fast.
You know how banks work. When paying money, there are all sorts of formalities, but when collecting money, it’s very fast.
But this time, Xia Keqing really misunderstood the bank.
There are actually many relaxation measures on loans in this era.
But after all, it was not as convenient as the computer network of later generations, so it took some time.
The security guard now recognizes Xia Keqing very much. The girl has a promising future. She is a designer at such a young age. Maybe she will cooperate with the factory in the future and bring more benefits to the factory.
How could he not like such a good person?
Seeing her come back, he immediately moved a small stool to her and looked into her bags very enthusiastically.
"Hey, Xiao Xia, you bought so many things?"
Xia Keqing smiled and said, "Yes, it's not easy to come to Shenzhen. Our stuff is so good, I can't help but want to bring some home."
The security guard couldn't stop smiling.
"Yes, our city is developing better and better, and it will be even better in the future."
"You have to work hard. You have to win the gold medal in the designer competition in two days! Not only will you get a certificate and a trophy, but you can also become a designer in our factory. That means you have a bright future!"
Xia Keqing smiled and said, "Yes, I will try my best."
The old man asked again: "What did you buy?"
"We have everything in our factory. If you need anything, tell me and I'll ask my son to give you a discount."
The old man is never stingy with his own people.
His son is the deputy factory director and his nephew is the factory director. The uncle has seen the world.
Everyone knows that running a garment factory is profitable, but in fact, as competition becomes increasingly fierce, although the clothes in the factory are never hard to sell, the profits are much thinner than in previous years.
This is also the reason why the factory is eager to recruit new designers.
The old man heard from his son that the original talented designer had been poached by someone else with a high salary.
So the old man looked at Xia Keqing not as a little girl, but rather as a God of Wealth who would replace the original designer in the future and create brilliant sales for the factory.
Xia Keqing did not reject the old man's enthusiasm, "Really?"
“Can our factory still sell retail?”
The old man waved his hand and said, "Why not? Aren't they just selling clothes?"
He quickly thought of something and explained with a smile: "Not selling it in retail means it's for external use, but haven't you and your aunt already signed a contract with our factory? That means you are our own people, and you are a designer, so how can it be the same?"
Xia Keqing was delighted, "Yes, that's definitely different."
what to do?
The man surnamed Ding lowered her favorable impression of Xuefei Garment Factory, but her favorable impression of the security guard instantly warmed up.
People are just so realistic.
With the security guard leading the way, Xia Keqing went straight into the warehouse this time.
The old man called two people and asked them to follow Xia Keqing. She registered what clothes she picked and paid through the company's account.
However, the retail price is a little higher than the wholesale price.
But the security guard gave me a discount, and the total price was almost the same as wholesale.
All I can say is, your uncle is still your uncle.
Having taken such a big advantage from the security guard, Xia Keqing had no problem getting intimate with him.
The doorman was so confused by her chatterbox that he smiled whenever he saw her. After a while, he asked her about her family affairs, "Xiaoqing, you are pretty and capable, do you want to marry me?"
"If there is no marriage proposal, let me tell you, there are several unfilial children and grandchildren in my family who still don't have a partner!"
"But my unfilial grandchildren are not very promising and are not worthy of you. I still have a few nephews and grandchildren who are better than them. I will introduce them to you later. You can go with the one you like."
Xia Keqing: ...
Maybe people like to act as matchmakers when they get older. It's human nature.
She had no choice but to pretend to refuse sweetly, "Uncle, I appreciate your kindness, but I already have a boyfriend, and my family has arranged a marriage for him. I will get married to him after the New Year when I turn 20."
The security guard was a little disappointed, but didn't say anything.
snort! I can only blame those bastards at home for being unlucky!
Just then, Yu Hong came back. She could tell at a glance that the atmosphere between Xia Keqing and the security guard was completely different.
But to Hong, the security guard is an outsider and Xia Keqing is her own.
So she said nothing in front of the old man.
He only pulled the little girl aside and quietly asked, "What are those big and small bags?"
Xia Keqing smiled and recounted all her "achievements".
At the end, he reminded Yu Hong, "Auntie Hong, I think those down jackets are really good. They are on sale now, and you can get discounts if you buy more. Buy some and they will not only look good but also keep you warm!"
Xia Keqing didn’t know much about history, so she didn’t know that down jackets became popular in China in the early 1980s.
However, at the beginning, the fabric grade and processing level of down jackets were not high, so the first generation of down jackets had a single style, low filling volume, large filling volume, and a very bloated appearance, so they were also called "bread jackets."
It is no longer the early 1980s. Down jackets have undergone reform again and again, developing towards the characteristics of lightness, softness and warmth, and are becoming more and more popular among consumers.
Yu Hong was in the tide of the times and did not know the process of historical development, but she was engaged in clothing wholesale and retail, and had obviously heard about the innovation of down jackets in Shenzhen a long time ago.
When he heard Xia Keqing say this, his eyes lit up instantly.
"Really! Did you find a new down jacket?"
