After explaining the situation in Pengcheng, Qian Duoduo immediately set off for Yangcheng with Abiao and his bodyguards. Throughout the journey, he seemed preoccupied, filled with both anticipation and unease about the upcoming trip to Yangcheng.
On the train to Guangzhou, A Biao looked at the bodyguard beside him and said softly, "I'll go buy food. You and Director Qian wait here." The bodyguard nodded slightly, indicating that he understood. A Biao stood up and walked towards the dining car at the end of the carriage.
The train moved slowly forward, the scenery outside the window constantly changing. Qian Duoduo remained lost in thought, flipping through the documents in her hands rapidly, seemingly trying to find a solution. The bodyguard sat quietly to the side, his eyes warily scanning the surroundings, remaining constantly alert.
Time ticked by, and Ah Biao finally returned, carrying steaming hot food. He placed the food on Qian Duoduo's table, then sat down and began eating with the bodyguard, but his eyes never left Qian Duoduo.
Although the train journey from Shenzhen to Guangzhou takes several hours, it wasn't long for Qian Duoduo. She continued flipping through the documents, her brow furrowed, occasionally pausing to think. The bodyguards remained silently by her side, not daring to relax their vigilance in the slightest.
Qian Duoduo reached out and rubbed the bridge of her nose, giving her slightly sore eyes a moment of relief. Just then, she inadvertently saw Abiao chatting happily with a female colleague beside him. The two seemed to be engrossed in their conversation, both with smiles on their faces.
Seeing this, Qian Duoduo's gossip-loving spirit began to ignite, but as a leader, she maintained a certain reserve and did not directly step forward to inquire or participate in their conversation. However, driven by curiosity, she unconsciously pricked up her ears, trying to hear their dialogue clearly.
However, she quickly lost interest, finding the conversation utterly tedious. She shook her head, sighed helplessly, and lowered her head to continue flipping through the documents in her hands.
With a long whistle, the train slowly pulled into Guangzhou Railway Station. A-Biao reluctantly said goodbye to the woman, his eyes filled with reluctance. He turned back again and again until she was completely out of sight before finally turning away. Qian Duoduo secretly sighed, never expecting A-Biao to be so attached to this woman. Even more unexpectedly for Qian Duoduo was that another wondrous fate lay hidden between A-Biao and this woman.
Qian Duoduo, accompanied by A Biao and his bodyguard, went straight to the garment factory, where they were warmly received by Factory Director Yang. The two engaged in an in-depth discussion about the upcoming autumn clothing season, exchanging their thoughts and opinions. Ultimately, Qian Duoduo decided to rent three production lines from the garment factory to meet market demand.
Although Factory Manager Yang felt that this new partnership wouldn't be as profitable as the previous one, this steady, long-term arrangement ensured that the workers had jobs, effectively replacing the factory's wage payments. He knew that only stable production could keep the factory running, and large, profitable orders were exactly what they needed. Even though profits might not be as high as before, at least it would guarantee the workers' livelihoods.
Qian Duoduo expressed her gratitude for Factory Director Yang's understanding and promised to pay the rent on time. She understood that establishing a long-term and stable cooperative relationship with the garment factory was crucial for her business development. By renting production lines, she could flexibly adjust the scale of production and better adapt to market changes. At the same time, it was a mutually beneficial decision.
For the next two weeks, Qian Duoduo devoted all her energy to the design and production of autumn clothing. She spent almost every day in the workshop making patterns and adjustments.
Factory Director Yang sat leisurely in his spacious and bright office, leaning back in his comfortable chair, chatting easily with the deputy factory director with a smile: "It's been a long time since I've seen a scene like this! Especially when Qian Duoduo is in the workshop, I feel particularly at ease." He gently shook his head, deeply moved.
The deputy factory director chimed in, "Yes, it's been a long time since we've seen such a lively scene since Qian Duoduo went to Pengcheng. Recalling those bustling days, it's truly nostalgic!" He couldn't help but think of those vibrant and noisy days of the past, and a faint sense of regret welled up in his heart.
The deputy factory director broke the silence, saying softly, "Yes, thinking back now, the bustling scene of that time seems still vivid in my mind, but so much time has passed in the blink of an eye. Now it seems that we have lived too uneventfully for the past two years." He frowned slightly, seemingly somewhat helpless.
Factory Director Yang took a deep breath and said with emotion, "Yes, time really flies! I hope to see such a lively scene again in the future." His gaze was fixed on the distance, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.
Factory Director Yang sighed helplessly, "To be honest, I once had the idea of inviting Qian Duoduo to our factory to serve as the head of the design department, but she was unwilling. Now it seems that with her talent and ability, it would be a waste of her talent to come and work in our factory."
Upon hearing this, the deputy factory director was stunned, a sense of doubt creeping into his heart. After all, the current head of their factory's design department was his sister-in-law. What did Director Yang's words mean? Did he harbor some resentment towards his sister-in-law? Or was there some deeper meaning?
For a moment, the atmosphere between the two became somewhat subtle.
However, Director Yang quickly steered the conversation back on track, saying, "Our factory's clothing designs have been quite good in the past two years, as evidenced by the sales figures. Director Li deserves a lot of credit for that!"
The deputy factory director could only force a smile, but inwardly he thought, "That old fox!"
During this period, Qian Duoduo met with the factory manager of Xingsheng Printing and Dyeing Factory and signed an agreement regarding the fabrics she would need in the future.
When the fabric was retrieved, Factory Manager Yang was somewhat puzzled. He couldn't understand why this particular denim fabric had been chosen. Although the fabric was thick enough, it was also relatively stiff.
However, when Qian Duoduo showed him her design drawings, Factory Director Yang was once again confused. The design depicted a top, but wouldn't such a stiff fabric cause discomfort to the wearer? In response to this question, Qian Duoduo explained, "This fabric is exactly what I wanted! It's not only thick but also very crisp. When making clothes with it, there's no need to add linings or shoulder pads; it can be formed directly."
Next, Qian Duoduo picked up a pair of scissors, cut out a small strip of cloth, folded it in half, and soaked it in water. After a while, she took out the cloth strip, unfolded it, and showed it to Director Yang. The cloth strip had not shrunk or deformed.
Qian Duoduo continued to explain, "The fabric we chose won't easily deform because of its very high warp and weft density, making it very strong and not easily damaged. In addition, it has good breathability, so you won't feel stuffy even when wearing it in warmer autumn weather."
