Chapter 234: Miss Wen Stays in Dagang Village
Ma Fangfang and Wen Shishi stared at Qin Qing, both waiting for her answer.
"Miss Wen, your suggestion is very good, but I can't answer you right now."
"Why?"
Wen Shishi looked at Qin Qing in confusion. "Do you have any objections to the split? If you feel something is inappropriate, you can raise it. We can discuss it."
She really wanted to cooperate with Qin Qing.
It was only when she arrived in Dagang Village that she truly realized how humble Qin Qing's background was. Even from such a small mountain village, she had managed to make it big, opening a clothing store in the mountain city. Although it was just a small workshop, it was now quite large.
"That's not the question. I'm going to Kyoto. When I come back, we can sit down and talk."
Qin Qing didn't dare to be too careless. If they really did what Wen Shishi said, setting up a clothing factory would indeed have prospects, but this was not a small business and must be well planned.
But she was about to leave, and didn't have much energy or time to discuss it carefully. It would be better to wait until she returned from Kyoto, during which time she could carefully consider it. Whether it was the investment amount or the production scale, these were not things that could be negotiated in a day or two.
"You're going to Kyoto? What are you going to Kyoto for?"
Wen Shishi asked curiously, is there anything more important than opening a garment factory?
"I'm going to Kyoto to find my love."
Qin Qing didn't evade anything and directly stated her purpose.
Wen Shishi was surprised when she heard this. She hadn't realized Qin Qing was already married. After thinking about it, she didn't say anything more.
"Okay, so how long will it take for you to be back?"
"This... is to be determined."
Qin Qing's expression was also a little embarrassed. She really had a bad estimate of the time.
There had been no news from Fang Zhiwei, and she was panicking. She even had a premonition that this trip to Kyoto wouldn't be easy to find. Then... she was afraid she would be delayed.
"To be determined? How can this be possible!"
Wen Shishi's eyebrows were twisted together. Seeing that Wen Shishi looked unhappy, Ma Fangfang was afraid that this matter would really fail.
Originally, she was reluctant to go to the county town, but the conditions offered by Wen Shishi were really good. She thought about it again and realized that if there really was a garment factory, they would not be casual workers, but real workers. Would their lives still be the same?
"Miss Wen, you have to understand Qin Qing. Her lover was injured and returned to Kyoto to recuperate. She also had to finally finish her current tasks before going to Kyoto. It will take at least some time."
Ma Fangfang also learned a lot about Fang Zhiwei from Tang Min.
After her explanation, Wen Shishi was somewhat receptive. She also knew that it was impossible to force Qin Qing to return, which would be too inhumane. However, once they were in Kyoto, every day they delayed would mean a day of delay, and she didn't want to delay any longer.
Wen Shishi thought about it, then rolled her eyes and asked, "When are you going to Kyoto?"
"I've booked a flight for the day after tomorrow."
Qin Qing had really invested a lot of money. After all, plane tickets were not cheap in this day and age. She could have taken the train, but she was so focused on getting to Kyoto that she didn't want to delay any longer, so she simply didn't want to save the money.
"Okay, I understand then."
After that, Wen Shishi no longer mentioned Qin Qing's trip to Kyoto. Instead, she followed Ma Fangfang to seriously study the workers' work. The two of them walked one after the other, watching with great concentration.
"Miss Wen, when are you planning to go back?"
Qin Qing saw that it was getting late and she had learned almost everything she needed to know. Thinking it would be bad to travel at night, she asked Wen Shishi when they would return.
Unexpectedly, Wen Shishi said without even raising her head, "Go back? I'm not going back today. Sister Qing, can I stay at your house tonight?"
Wen Shishi looked at Qin Qing with a smile. Qin Qing was stunned. Didn't this young lady think her house was too simple? Why was she willing to stay?
"Sister Qing, is there a problem?"
Seeing Qin Qing remained silent for a long time, Wen Shishi asked again. Qin Qing quickly waved her hand and said, "How could that be? If you want to stay, then stay."
"Then thank you very much, Sister Qing."
Wen Shishi and Ma Fangfang continued to work, and Qin Qing didn't want to disturb them any further.
Tang Min brought Xiaoyue to find Qin Qing and told her about Xiaoyue's trip to the mountain city.
"Sister Qing, do you really need me to go to Shancheng?" Xiaoyue glanced at her mother. She didn't care, but if she really went, what would happen to her mother?
"Xiaoyue, don't worry about your mother. I will ask my sister-in-law to take good care of her. You and Xiaoci, go to the mountain city together."
Qin Qing had already thought about this matter a long time ago.
"Xiaoci, come with me? Is that okay?"
Now Hui Niang was making clothes with Ma Fangfang, and perhaps now that she had something to do, her mood was becoming more and more stable. Xiao Yue was still somewhat relieved. When she heard that Xiao Ci could go to the mountain city with her, her eyes immediately lit up.
"Of course. You don't have to work in the store all the time. When school starts, I'll find a way to arrange for you and Xiaoci to study in Shancheng."
Xiaoyue and Xiaoci are both smart children.
Qin Qing knew how important going to school was in this day and age, especially since Xiaoci was still young and needed to study hard. She thought about leaving this matter to Baifanmi, asking him to find a way to get the siblings into school in the mountain city, where the conditions would be much better.
"Really? Sister Qing, can Xiaoci and I go to school?"
When it comes to going to school, a glimmer of hope ignites in Xiaoyue's eyes.
"Of course. You can help Uncle Bai look after the store first, and then go to school when school starts. As for your mother, your sister-in-law will always take care of her. When you have time in the future, come back to see her."
Qin Qing had arranged everything, so Xiaoyue naturally had no reason to refuse. She immediately agreed in a crisp voice, and then ran out happily, ready to find Xiaoci to share the good news.
Wen Shishi followed Ma Fangfang all the way around the entire production line until it got dark, and Qin Qing asked all the workers to finish their work early.
When the wages were distributed, Wen Shishi stayed with Ma Fangfang the whole time, watching her distribute the money and recording all the expenses in a small notebook. Qin Qing couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
"Miss Wen, where did you find this notebook?"
"Ah Yue gave it to me. It's her homework book."
Qin Qing looked at the homework book, where Xiaoyue's name was written crookedly. Qin Qing turned her eyes and saw Xiaoyue standing next to Wen Shishi with Xiaoci.
The brother and sister both had candies in their mouths and smiled at her.
"Sister Qing, do you want some candy? Sister Wen gave it to us."
Xiaoyue extended her hand generously, with a White Rabbit candy in her palm. Qin Qing glanced at Wen Shishi. She was much closer to her than she had imagined, and she became friends with Xiaoyue and her brother so quickly.
After all the workers had been paid, Wen Shishi found Qin Qing while looking at the bills in the notebook.
"Sister Qing, I did some calculations. With the current worker costs, there's still plenty of room for profit."
Wen Shishi was being a bit conservative. She hadn't even thought that the people in Dagang Village would be paid such low salaries! But when they received their pay, their eyes lit up, and they didn't think the money was too little at all.
She suddenly understood why Qin Qing set up the small workshop in the village. The labor cost was low!
"Do you have any opinion?"
Qin Qing looked at Wen Shishi, who seemed to be hesitant to speak. When she asked this question, Wen Shishi immediately opened up.
"Sister Qing, I have an idea, would you like to hear it?"
"You say." Qin Qing looked at Wen Shishi leisurely. She also wanted to know what she thought after observing her for most of the day.
"Sister Qing, I went with Sister Fang to check it out today. We have a total of 34 workers, and 27 of them can use sewing machines. However, their skills vary, with some being good and some being average. So I think we could categorize the workers into different levels. When we open the factory, we can give different salaries to workers of different levels."
Qin Qing listened to Wen Shishi's words with a smile on her lips. Although she did not agree to cooperate with Wen Shishi to open a factory, in her heart, she seemed to have already made up her mind about this matter and even started planning what would happen next.
"You're right, keep going..."
Wen Shishi was about to continue speaking when there was a sudden knock on the door. Tang Min went to open the door. As soon as she opened the door, Qin Qing frowned because she saw someone she didn't want to see.
