Chapter 55 Return
After coming out of Xuefei, the three of them were silent all the way.
It was only when they arrived at Zhang Xia's factory that Yu Hong whispered to Xia Keqing, "Can you really sue that woman in this situation?"
Xia Keqing: "Of course."
"Anything that is groundless is slander. Of course I have to protect my rights."
Yu Hong was filled with admiration.
She had known Xia Keqing for such a long time and had always known that this girl was extraordinary and capable.
She always had a faint smile on her face, giving people a gentle and peaceful feeling, which gave her the illusion that this little girl had a tough and soft character.
Only now do I realize that this little girl is so difficult to deal with.
Just because someone said a few words, do you want to call the police and arrest them?
Of course, Yu Hong didn’t think that this was wrong, but after living for decades, she discovered that it was actually possible.
This completely overturned her worldview.
…
Zhang Xia’s clothing factory is called Yuxia Garment Factory. Looking at the factory building, it is bigger than Xuefei’s.
Zhang Xia explained: "The area of my factory was not that big originally, but it was expanded gradually."
"We made some money at first, but then I had a baby and couldn't manage the factory, so my dad and my husband took care of it. Now that my child is in school, I'm back."
Xia Keqing and Yu Hong looked at each other and felt that there was something else behind Zhang Xia's words.
But she didn't say it clearly, so they didn't ask too much.
After entering the factory, Zhang Xia called a few people and asked them to help move the clothes bought by Xia Keqing into a warehouse.
It's not that Xia Keqing is narrow-minded, it's just that there are too many weirdos on Xuefei's side. Yu Hong's batch of goods is easy to deal with, because they are Xuefei's own things. Even if Xuefei's people hold a grudge, they will not do anything to that batch of goods.
Because that batch of goods was produced by themselves, if there was any problem with the goods, it would affect the reputation of their factory.
She picked all these pieces out one by one in the clothing market.
If it gets destroyed by someone, it would be so disgusting.
When they arrived at Zhang Xia's office, Yu Hong suggested that she wanted to take a look at the goods in the factory.
She sells clothes anyway, so if the clothes are of good style and the price is right, she can buy some.
When Zhang Xia heard this, she immediately found someone to take Yu Hong to see the goods.
Then he took Xia Keqing to the office.
Xia Keqing did not draw the design immediately, but first confirmed the contract plan with Zhang Xia, item by item.
Zhang Xia was originally worried that the girl was young and unreliable, but after getting to know her, she felt completely relieved.
Although the girl is young, she is strong-willed and does things with reason and logic. You won't gain any advantage by cooperating with her, but you won't suffer any loss either. This is the best way.
Anyway, she wasn't trying to take advantage.
Business should be a win-win situation, only in this way can it last long.
After finalizing the cooperation contract, Zhang Xia asked her people to print it. During this period, many problems occurred in the factory and Zhang Xia was very busy.
Xia Keqing frowned as she watched.
It was more than an hour later when Zhang Xia finished her work.
Zhang Xia was embarrassed. "I'm sorry to make you laugh. There are so many things to do in the factory. I'm so busy every day."
Xia Keqing did not maintain her gentle and considerate personality.
"Director Zhang, I shouldn't say anything, but we are in a cooperative relationship. If your factory is still in a state of disarray and unclear responsibilities, I think we may not be able to continue our cooperation."
"I opened a clothing studio. Although I didn't have big ambitions, I did it to make money."
"Your factory is responsible for producing the clothes I need, but in your situation, I find it hard to believe that you can complete the task on time, in quantity and with quality. Do I have to wait until something goes wrong before I come to you?"
Zhang Xia broke out in a cold sweat, "Yes, you are right."
Xia Keqing was very young, with round cheeks, fair skin, and a pair of big, black, shiny eyes that were very clear. She looked almost non-aggressive. It was hard to imagine that she felt a little embarrassed under the gaze of this girl.
“I will definitely take care of these issues.”
Xia Keqing nodded. In fact, she discovered this problem as soon as she entered the factory.
Although the Yuxia Garment Factory has a large factory area, the employees have a lazy work attitude and their responsibilities are unclear. There is not even a warehouse manager, and people have to go directly to the factory manager to put goods into the warehouse.
If she just came to visit today, she would definitely nod, smile and keep her mouth shut, not interfering in other people's affairs.
But since she has signed the contract and decided to cooperate with Zhang Xia, she cannot help but raise this issue.
If Zhang Xia cannot handle the problems in the factory, it means that she has no ability and she needs to find a new partner.
On the contrary, it shows that Zhang Xia is capable and can cooperate.
Zhang Xia can also be considered as her mentor.
After all, so many people came to the designer competition on the day, but only Zhang Xia asked to buy her design.
Considering that Zhang Xia said she was pregnant and had a child, and would hand over the garment factory to her husband and father to manage, Xia Keqing thought that perhaps this was one of the reasons why responsibilities were unclear.
Even the management is in chaos, won’t the people behind them follow suit?
"I just heard you say that the factory was profitable at the beginning, but then you got pregnant and gave birth to a child, so you handed the factory over to your husband and your father?"
As Xia Keqing spoke, she looked at Zhang Xia meaningfully for a while, and Zhang Xia felt even more ashamed.
"Don't worry, I will definitely make up my mind to make good changes, and it will definitely not affect our cooperation."
Seeing that Zhang Xia understood, Xia Keqing stopped talking.
Everyone wants to save face.
She and Zhang Xia are just partners, so it's not appropriate to talk about deep things.
What it means is that the relationship between two people is average, so it is not appropriate to talk about more in-depth topics.
Compared to her, Zhang Xia must have a closer relationship with her husband and father.
That was her family matter and she needed to find a way to solve it herself.
Two days later, Yu Hong's money arrived.
She paid Xue Fei for the goods, contacted a truck driver using the contact information given by Ding Jianfei, and directly loaded her batch of goods onto the truck, along with Xia Keqing's things.
Because Yu Hong's cargo was not very large, she rented a double-row cargo van.
Xia Keqing had never ridden in this kind of truck, and neither had Yu Hong.
But thinking of Shen Jichuan's military jeep, this excitement disappeared instantly.
In comparison, the jeep is still handsome.
Coincidentally, this car is also military green, which is a very common style and color in this era.
The driver was a middle-aged man with a round face. He looked very talkative and soon started chatting with Yu Hong.
Of course, Yu Hong is also an old hand and did not reveal too much personal information.
She also said that she brought her niece out to broaden her horizons, but her niece's parents were worried. She also said that her husband was also worried about her and her niece going out alone, so he would come to pick them up when they arrived in their province.
Xia Keqing: ...
Where did she get someone to pick her up?
Yu Hong winked at her.
After spending a few months together, Xia Keqing got to know Hong fairly well and realized that she had already made all the arrangements, so she felt relieved.
It takes at least more than ten hours to drive from Guang Province to Jiang Province.
This is an estimate based on the existence of highways in later times and the condition of good road conditions.
It was the 1980s and there weren’t even any expressways.
Because there is no record of this in the original text, and Xia Keqing doesn't know the history of this aspect, she really doesn't know.
But even if there are no expressways, there should be national highways.
Another problem is that there was no navigation in this era, and driving depended entirely on road signs.
At first, Xia Keqing and Yu Hong were staring at the road signs, but the driver seemed to see their concerns and chatted with them while driving, and the two gradually lowered their guard.
After driving for nearly three hours, the driver found a place to park and brought two bottles of water to Xia Keqing and Yu Hong.
Yu Hong was much more polite to the driver, "Thank you, Master Huang."
