Qin Xiaoyu could only think of the despair she felt when she was hastily released from the detention center and waiting for the gunshots.
Just then, a ray of light shone on her, and Are walked out from the light and shadow, picking her up...
At that moment, she truly revered him as a god.
This proud guy was brought down from his pedestal by her, suffered greatly, and finally became a rag doll that she had had her fill of playing with, locked in the room every day waiting for her to favor him.
What did she do?
Where is his pride? She trampled it all underfoot, simply because he fell in love with her first.
It's time for her to reflect on her actions; she's made more than just a few mistakes.
Two staff members rushed out of the theater to open the door, followed by waves of cheers and applause, growing louder and louder, indicating that the show was about to end.
Qin Xiaoyu and Xiaopang walked out of the theater first and found the car they had come in.
Xiao Mengting and Tang Long came out a little late.
"Let's go home. I don't know why my uncle lost his temper today, even my senior brother was wronged," Xiao Mengting sighed.
"Why?" Qin Xiaoyu asked in surprise.
"They didn't say why. They were originally going to come with us, but now they're not coming anymore and they're telling me to go first," Xiao Mengting said dejectedly.
Qin Xiaoyu was also puzzled, vaguely feeling that her uncle's temper was too strange, but she didn't dare to ask too many questions.
Anyway, she's leaving soon, so it's fine to ignore these things.
I don't know if it was because I told Xiao Pang about the past, but I kept dreaming about what happened in the detention center last night, and I woke up in fright several times. When it was just getting light, I couldn't lie still anymore, so I got up and went for a walk in the park. I've been here for a while, but I've only ever passed by and haven't really looked around properly.
The ground outside is wet; it rained last night, and moss has grown on the road, making it a bit slippery.
With this touch of green, the whole garden seems to have become more vibrant.
The trees in the garden had already sprouted, their branches and leaves soft and delicate. She walked and looked around, but before she knew it, she had lost her way. Just as she was worrying, she suddenly heard a clear, melodious singing.
Her voice was clear and melodious, far superior to Xiao Mengting's.
Qin Xiaoyu listened carefully to the words, and they were from the poem "A Dream in the Garden".
The warbling of orioles echoes in my dreams, blurring the fleeting years. I stand in the deep courtyard, the incense burner burns low, and the embroidery thread is tossed aside. This spring's feelings are just like last year's. At dawn, I gaze towards Meiguan Pass, my makeup from last night still smudged. You, with your hair styled in a Yichun bun, lean against the railing…
On such a morning, in such a garden, Qin Xiaoyu suddenly felt as if she had traveled through time, captivating everyone who heard her story.
"Heh, Director Qin, you wouldn't listen last night, but you're trying to eavesdrop today." Her martial uncle appeared in front of her at some point.
She then realized that it was her martial uncle singing, and after pondering his words, she didn't know how to respond.
By the time she came to her senses and wanted to exchange a few polite words, her martial uncle had already disappeared, weaving through the flowers and willows.
Was he sulking with her last night? He really is quite dramatic.
Qin Xiaoyu knew she could pick up her plane ticket today, so she packed her luggage early. She still needed to tell her family; although it was embarrassing, it wouldn't be appropriate to travel so far without informing them. She also needed to arrange things at the garment factory.
"Little Fish! Something's happened! We can't find you! Our batch of auxiliary materials is missing!" Factory Director Fei shouted angrily.
"Auxiliary materials? Isn't that a whole train carload of goods? How can it be missing?" Qin Xiaoyu knew what she was talking about.
The factory doesn't have much stock of auxiliary materials; they're just waiting for the rice to be cooked.
As soon as she hung up the phone, she knew that her trip to Guangzhou was off.
No one but her could handle this. Accessories are essential raw materials for fashion manufacturing, just as indispensable as the fabric itself. Some fabrics are very soft, and sewing machines will snag the thread when sewing them.
To make the fabric more sturdy, an adhesive lining is used, which is then ironed onto the reverse side of the fabric.
In the 1980s, accessories were still limited to fusible interlinings. Because they were mainly used by garment factories, the third-tier stations didn't purchase much, and the quality was generally poor, mostly mid- to low-grade goods.
They were all thick and rough, with large glue particles that made small bumps visible on the front of the fabric when ironed.
Although it will be fine after one wash, high-end fashion cannot allow such a mistake to happen.
Qin Xiaoyu always buys directly from the manufacturer because she uses a lot of products.
This batch of goods was shipped out a bit late. It wasn't that the manufacturer didn't want to ship the goods, but in those days, freight mainly relied on trains. As the year-end approached, freight was too busy, and passenger traffic was also high, resulting in a large backlog of goods that couldn't be shipped out.
There have been long queues since the Lunar New Year, and it looks like it won't be until June before normal shipping resumes.
We eagerly awaited the arrival of this freight car, only to have it vanish without a trace, causing us considerable distress.
Xiao Mengting's counter is a new project, which was not planned. The extra production volume was added to the already saturated production plan, so the consumption of various materials increased exponentially, especially the auxiliary materials.
She returned home a day later, and now the workshop has reported the situation, and it seems they are facing a production halt.
"Let's go to the third-level station to get some goods," Director Xie said helplessly. The railway freight depot is a large state-owned enterprise, and its management has always been chaotic. Who knows where this wagon might have been dumped? We might be able to find it, but it would delay the shipment.
"No way, using something from a level 3 website on our high-end fashion would be a disgrace," Qin Xiaoyu refused decisively.
"I heard that Bai Weiwei's factory has stopped production. She must have stockpiled a lot of high-end goods." Factory Manager Xie came up with another idea, but regretted it as soon as he said it; it was useless.
Bai Weiwei is a mortal enemy; even if the goods rot, she won't let them use them.
"Don't even mention that she wouldn't let us use it; I suspect she's the one who sabotaged this batch of goods." Qin Xiaoyu gave a wry smile.
"What can we do then? The labor protection clothing factory uses whatever is cheapest, so they definitely don't have anything we can use." Factory Director Xie was truly in a dilemma.
"How much longer can the workshop hold out?" Qin Xiaoyu asked the workshop director.
"At most half a day," the workshop foreman said cautiously.
Qin Xiaoyu gritted her teeth and drove to the train station.
Ding Xiaojie had just finished her night shift and was sleeping in her dormitory when Qin Xiaoyu woke her up; she was still a little groggy. She led Qin Xiaoyu to the supervisor in charge of freight transport, who had already received the news and were investigating.
These were two agonizing hours, but the final result was still that the carriage had vanished.
"Do your wagons have wings?" Qin Xiaoyu was utterly disappointed with these people who relied on the communal dining system.
She went to the South Goods Factory herself, where the wagons should have landed, hoping to find some clues.
She had come here once before with Qi Si, but this time she came alone. She felt a little dizzy when she came in and wandered around for a while before finally finding the place where she had looked for Wang Jian last time.
"Hey, this girl looks familiar. She's dressed so neatly. What's she doing here?" The foreman recognized her at a glance.
"Big brother, you still recognize me?" Qin Xiaoyu's eyes lit up.
"How can you not recognize him? Didn't you take Wang Jian away? Qi Si is his godfather, and you're his godmother?" the foreman asked.
"Yes, I am his godmother. I'm sending him to the provincial capital to learn sales."
"Slaying beasts?" The foreman had never heard of this term before.
"It's about doing business and sales," Qin Xiaoyu explained with a smile.
"Oh? That's good. What future is there in doing manual labor? So what are you looking for now? Do you have your godson here?" the foreman said with a grin.
"What do you think of me? I'll be your godson." A short man in his forties or fifties approached.
