When choosing his styles that day, Jiewei also put his mind to it, and in the shortest amount of time, he selected three relatively ordinary outfits that didn't follow the mainstream trend.
The three garments made by Zhu Xu were not much different from the styles sold in the public sales company.
"Is it 100 pieces for each size?" Zhu Xu asked as he finished making the sample garments and then arranged for production.
"What? We need to start production? We don't make every style, you don't need to..." Qin Xiaoyu was a little flustered. What had Zhu Xu misunderstood?
"Heh, everyone else's designs are sample garments with processing, so what's wrong with mine? Is this the three outfits you promised me? You put them on, walk on the runway for a minute, and then turn around and come off?" Zhu Xu's voice wasn't loud, but his eyes were bloodshot, which was a bit scary.
"Zhu Xu, don't get agitated, let's talk this out." Qin Xiaoyu quickly jumped in to smooth things over. "There's a material list over there, take a look yourself. There are a total of 205 outfits in the fashion show, but only 150 of them are bestsellers that will be produced. The rest are one-of-a-kind pieces. Isn't it better to make your sample garments one-of-a-kind pieces?"
Qin Xiaoyu wasn't lying. Some clothes were too avant-garde, and no one would dare to wear them, so she simply didn't let them be produced.
Zhu Xu's three reasons for not starting production are another example; even if you take these reasons to Shanghai, you won't be able to sell them even if you lose money.
"Boss Zhu, you've always been fair, so why have you been so unfair to me?" Zhu Xu was already prepared to break off all ties with her.
"What do you mean?" Qin Xiaoyu subconsciously looked behind her, afraid to say certain things in front of Man Aihong, lest she hurt innocent people.
“She’s not here, and she won’t be back for two days. Why are you afraid she’ll hear?” Zhu Xu saw right through her thoughts.
"Sister Hong has really had it tough enough, so please give her a break," Qin Xiaoyu said wearily.
“You’re right, I’ve always been the one causing her trouble. You only gave me this opportunity out of pity. I understand, my designs are worthless.” Zhu Xu suddenly became clear-headed, which was quite frightening. The people in the room exchanged glances and became uneasy.
"Alright, let's not waste time on trivial matters. Stop arguing. We've already agreed to add three more pieces to your collection. As for production, I definitely won't agree to it." Qin Xiaoyu has her bottom line.
"It's no big deal, haha. Every designer's work includes a portion that goes into production. But I only have three pieces, and they're all unique. So, I'll invest in making my own clothes and then sell them all together. That should be okay, right?" Zhu Xu was really going all out.
Qin Xiaoyu really wanted to slap him across the face to wake him up. Your family's money was earned by Man Aihong through hard work, okay? And you're just going to waste it like this?
"Why don't you discuss it with Sister Hong?" Qin Xiaoyu said, then felt that her words were meaningless, so she added, "I think it's better not to start production. It's unnecessary. In the end, it will just become a stockpile, and our funds will be tied up."
"Our factory does processing of supplied materials, so you don't need to worry about anything. You can take the fabric if you want, or you can go in yourself if you don't." Zhu Xu said this and left.
Qin Xiaoyu gritted her teeth in anger. How could there be such an ignorant man who let such a good woman run into him? Where is the fairness in this world?
When Man Aihong returned, dusty and worn, Zhu Xu had already taken his design drawings back to his hometown.
After Qin Xiaoyu finished telling her what had happened, Man Aihong sat in her chair for a long time without moving.
"Sister Hong, do you want to go back and take a look?" Qin Xiaoyu had a reason for saying this; she still vividly remembered what happened to Wang Lingling last time.
Zhu Xu's factory is currently processing a batch of styles, all made of seersucker. He said that if he goes out to purchase goods, and some of them are taken out of the factory, and the styles he needs are not available, but instead all the goods from his supply and marketing cooperative, then he will suffer a loss.
“I’ll go back and check on things in a few days. I was just thinking about this. It’s a pity that some things haven’t been finalized here yet. It would be a waste of time if I didn’t go all the way here.” Man Aihong’s face, tanned dark by the sun, showed almost no sadness, only numbness.
What was supposed to be a good thing has become complicated because of Zhu Xu's unexpected actions, making everyone unhappy.
With Man Aihong back to back things up, Qin Xiaoyu felt much more at ease. Although Man Aihong listened to Zhu Xu in everything, she had principles and would protect Qin Xiaoyu's interests; she wouldn't be a pushover.
Now, Bald Qiang is a key general under Qin Xiaoyu. This kid has been running around the fabric market since he was a teenager, traveling all over the country, eating and drinking for free. Although he hasn't made a lot of money, once he broadens his horizons, as long as a good person guides him, he's sure to achieve great things.
Now that the four factories are working together, the amount of fabric and accessories needed is large and fragmented, and it all depends on him alone. Qin Xiaoyu can't completely trust him, so she has already made preparations.
Just then, Bald Qiang delivered a batch of fabric, and Qin Xiaoyu called Chen Lian, who had returned from her travels, to become his apprentice.
Chen Lian took the thousand yuan and spent it eating, drinking, and having fun in the surrounding area. She returned home feeling refreshed and ready to make a big deal.
"Sis, are you kidding me? I'm not taking this old lady out to buy goods? I'm ashamed!" Bald Qiang glanced at Chen Lian, who was wearing a tacky yellow polyester shirt, and shook his head like a rattle drum.
"Who are you calling shameful? When I was in prison, you were still breastfeeding in your mother's arms. How dare you talk about me like that!" Chen Lian rolled up her sleeves and came over.
"Prison? What did you do in prison?" Bald Qiang knew when to back down and immediately backed down.
"Sister Lian, don't scare him, he's timid." Qin Xiaoyu suppressed a laugh.
"She went to prison for reselling grain coupons," Director Fei said, defusing Chen Lian's arrogance.
Bald Qiang only relaxed when he heard about the food coupons.
"Whether you can manage Sister Lian well depends on your abilities." Qin Xiaoyu pushed Bald Qiang in front of Chen Lian and introduced him, "He's a shrewd guy. You should learn from him, Sister."
"Okay, little brother, I'll be counting on you from now on."
Needless to say, after Bald Qiang took Chen Lian to two trade fairs, he was completely convinced. People who have been tempered in prison are not ordinary people; they are the cream of the crop.
One wave subsides, another rises.
Gao Daxiong came to our door; needless to say, it was about Jiewei.
"Boss Qin, I'm here to take back Jie Wei." Gao Daxiong slammed Jie Wei's indenture onto the table.
"Boss Gao, I also have a favor to ask. Please let me have the person. I can pay the penalty for breach of contract on his behalf." At this point, Qin Xiaoyu couldn't avoid it any longer, so she simply settled the matter.
Needless to say, it must have been Zhu Xu who tipped them off.
"This isn't something that can be solved with a penalty fee. Everyone on this street knows I've been bullied to the point of no return. My designer went to design fashion for someone else, dozens of outfits at that. From now on, don't even think about bullying me however you want. Boss Qin, do you think money can solve this?" Gao Daxiong said with a gloomy face.
"So, what does Boss Gao suggest we do?"
"I'm taking him away, do whatever I want with him. Don't come back again. None of his fashion designs are allowed to go into production." Gao Daxiong was quite arrogant.
