On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Qian Duoduo looked at Qian Yu and his wife in surprise as they rushed over to find her. She was stunned for a while before she came to her senses, then grinned and asked, "Second sister-in-law, second brother, what brings you two here in such a hurry?"
With a smile on his face, Qian Yu said cheerfully, "Of course! I must have something to tell you!"
Qian Duoduo responded with a smile and warmly invited, "Alright, in that case, let's go to the study and chat slowly."
So, Qian Duoduo and Qian Yu, the couple, walked together toward the study.
After entering the study, Qian Yu went straight to the point, saying, "The main reason I came to discuss this with you is because there's some uncertainty about your sister-in-law's situation."
Qian Duoduo nodded and looked at Chen Runan, asking, "Second Sister-in-law, what's wrong? Tell me, and we'll analyze it together."
Chen Runan gently shook her head, hesitated slightly, and then slowly said, "Actually, there's something I've been talking about with your second brother for a while now, but neither of us knows how to do it." After a pause, she continued, "For so many years, I've been working at the Huangzhuang Supply and Marketing Cooperative in Jinshi, living a very monotonous life, either at home or at work."
Hearing this, Qian Duoduo nodded thoughtfully and asked, "I understand what you mean, sister-in-law. Do you have any outstanding talents? Or do you have any particular hobbies?"
Qian Yu, who was standing nearby, quickly chimed in, "Your sister-in-law used to love painting!"
Upon hearing this, Qian Duoduo's eyes lit up instantly, and she exclaimed excitedly, "Wow, this is a great hobby!"
Chen Runan smiled slightly and explained softly, "I grew up abroad since I was a child. Although it has been more than ten years since I returned to China, I have never given up my hobby of painting. For me, it is not just a hobby, but also a regulator in my daily life."
Qian Duoduo looked at Chen Runan with a face full of curiosity and asked, "Sister-in-law, what style do you usually prefer in painting, ink painting or oil painting?"
After thinking for a moment, Chen Runan replied, "I usually paint oil paintings and sketch portraits."
Upon hearing this, Qian Duoduo's eyes suddenly lit up, and she excitedly asked, "Then, sister-in-law, are you interested in clothes? For example, clothing design or something like that?"
Chen Runan hesitated for a moment before slowly replying, "Well... I haven't really had much experience with this before."
After listening, Qian Duoduo nodded thoughtfully, then said seriously, "If you are interested, I have a solution. I can arrange a job for you that you can do from home, which will make it convenient for you to take care of your child without interfering with your normal work."
Chen Runan quickly followed up, "Oh? So what kind of job is it?"
Qian Duoduo smiled and explained, "It's clothing design! You might not know this, but I currently outsource a production line to a clothing factory in Yangcheng, but I've always wanted to open my own independent clothing factory. The equipment in the factory isn't a problem, but the designers and managers are what's really troubling me! Especially good designers, they're so scarce!"
Chen Runan said softly, "Yufei has just started junior high school, and the school is not close to home, which makes it difficult for me to take care of her. The child's studies are tiring, but we are family, so I don't care if you laugh at me. After coming here this time, I saw that you are working from home, which I think is very good. That's why I asked if this job can also be done from home like this?"
Qian Duoduo nodded and said, "Second Sister-in-law, this fashion designer can work from home." As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Runan's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had discovered a new continent, and she eagerly asked, "Just like you?"
Qian Duoduo smiled and nodded, replying, "That's right! You can draw up the design drawings at home first, and then mail them to me. I'll decide whether to start production based on the drawings you provide. If production goes smoothly, you'll naturally receive your salary!" After a slight pause, Qian Duoduo added, "There's another option. Why don't you consider opening a clothing store in Jinshi? Specializing in Wanmao clothing would be quite good! You know, we have wholesale stores in Beijing and many sales channels. Every store sells very well and makes a fortune. If you want to open a store, I can talk to him and have him bring your goods directly. That way, whenever your store runs out of stock, you only need to go to Beijing to restock. However, if you open a store, the business is your own, so you'll have to be busy. What do you think?"
At this moment, two completely different paths lay before Chen Runan. Faced with this sudden choice, she couldn't help but hesitate, subconsciously looking up at Qian Yu ahead.
Sitting to the side, Qian Yu also looked troubled, pondering to himself. After all, neither clothing design nor running a clothing store was a field they were familiar with or skilled in.
Chen Runan was quite familiar with selling clothes, after all, she worked in sales at the supply and marketing cooperative. He thought for a moment and said, "Wife, why don't you try opening a clothing store first?"
Chen Runan looked at Qian Yu and said, "After all, you should be quite familiar with this."
Chen Runan looked at Qian Duoduo, thought for a moment, and said, "Duoduo, I want to ask, what exactly does a fashion designer do?"
Qian Duoduo thought for a moment, took out her own design drawing, handed it to Chen Runan, and said, "This is something I learned from a student at an art academy. It's not actually very good, but there are some details that I didn't quite get right."
Chen Runan took the design sketches from Qian Duoduo, looked at them, and felt that they weren't too difficult and were quite simple for her. However, the design style of the clothes was something she had never seen before and was very beautiful.
After looking at the design in her hand, she looked at Qian Duoduo with bright eyes and said, "Duoduo, can I try working with this designer?"
Qian Yu was taken aback. Wasn't the plan to open a shop? How did it turn into clothing design?
Qian Duoduo smiled: "That's great, welcome to your sister-in-law. Here's what we'll do: I'll have the HR department give you an employment contract later. Just sign it and you'll become a fashion designer at Wanmao Company!"
