Chapter 345 Break Up
Ye Qian was waiting for Director Wang at the entrance of the furniture factory. She saw a stool nearby and sat down on it. After all, the journey was too grueling.
Just after a while, Director Wang came out. When he saw Ye Qian, he greeted her with a smile on his face: "Hey, Designer Ye, how come you have time to come here?"
"The school is on vacation, so I'll come back and stay for a while before going back when school starts." Director Wang found this a little strange, but he didn't ask any more questions and quickly invited Ye Qian in.
Thanks to Ye Qian's designs, the furniture factory has seen a resurgence. They built the furniture according to Ye Qian's designs and sold it at her stated price. Initially, they felt it was a bit high, and he was a bit hesitant. But he was surprised by the high level of customer satisfaction. Even with the high price, they couldn't stop everyone from buying. Later, when production was running out, they followed Ye Qian's advice and switched to custom orders. Business has been booming.
However, something had happened recently. It was not easy to tell Ye Qian in the letter, and now Ye Qian asked them to help make some tables and chairs, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
Ye Qian didn't expect Director Wang to have such an expression. Logically, she helped the furniture factory draw the design drawings, which also made the furniture factory's business flourish. Moreover, they had agreed on a clear price, and it was not like he was not willing to pay. Why did Director Wang have such an expression?
Director Wang didn't want to offend Ye Qian, so he told her the truth: "It's like this, factories can be privatized now, right? Our factory has been acquired by a boss named Zhang. So, boss."
Okay, Ye Qian understood, and asked, "Is Teacher Zhang here?"
Director Wang immediately said, "Yes."
"Then please help me invite him over." Ye Qian said.
Director Wang had no choice but to agree, "Okay."
After Director Wang finished speaking, he turned and left. After a while, a man in his 30s came in. When he saw Ye Qian, he looked at her with disdain and said, "You are the furniture designer."
"Yes, I drew all the designs for this factory now." Ye Qian wasn't kidding. Director Wang had mentioned before that the furniture they were producing now all used designs drawn by her. All other designs had been temporarily suspended. There was no other way. She drew all the designs, and with a shortage of manpower, she had no choice but to stop all the other designs.
"You studied design." There was nothing wrong with what he said, but Ye Qian didn't like this evidence at all, and even felt a little disgusted.
"I studied directing." Ye Qian answered truthfully.
"Aren't you just kidding? Why would someone who studies writing and directing do design?"
"So you mean that my design drawings are not good." Ye Qian asked.
The man said nothing, but with a look of disdain, "Tsk."
Ye Qian was a little angry. Her design drawings made this factory do so well and they were overwhelmed with orders, but this man actually used the word "cut" to describe it.
good.
very good.
Ye Qian said she was a little angry.
"Since Boss Zhang doesn't like my design, then there is nothing for us to cooperate with each other. Director Wang, I will not send the design drawings anymore, and you have to pay me the balance." Ye Qian didn't want to talk to this man with such an attitude, but what had to be done was what she deserved. She would not lose a penny of the money she deserved.
"I'm the boss of a big factory, how could I owe you that little money?" Boss Zhang looked Ye Qian up and down, then said, "But you signed a contract before, it's not right for you to leave like this."
Apart from a "hehe", Ye Qian had no other ideas to express her current mood.
What's this guy up to? He looks down on her designs, but he wants to use the contract to constrain her and force her to continue drawing for him? He looks down on her, yet at the same time he's trying to exploit her. His calculations are so ruthless, it's simply too much.
When Ye Qian signed the contract, she had no intention of collaborating further with the furniture factory. Her future career wasn't in the furniture business. So, she signed a design draft and settled the deal. As long as she stopped drawing for the furniture factory, they wouldn't have any further ties. Even if they sued, they couldn't sue her.
"The contract we signed was finalized based on the draft. I'm not an employee of the furniture factory, so you can't sue me even if you hire a lawyer." Contracts cannot be signed casually. Ye Qian, who has lived for decades, naturally understands this.
Boss Zhang was a little bit unconvinced, thinking that he might not have heard clearly, so he asked Director Wang: "What did she mean? Isn't she a designer? Why isn't she from our factory?"
Factory Director Wang was also somewhat frustrated. This little ancestor had only arrived after the furniture factory moved, having only just acquired it this month. He had previously been adjusting the internal affairs of the furniture factory, and he had mentioned the designer issue, but Boss Zhang hadn't taken it seriously. When Ye Qian arrived, he was a little worried that this little ancestor might offend Ye Qian, and sure enough, he did.
"Yes, she is right. Designer Ye is not an employee of our factory. We only signed the design draft. We settle the bill once for each draft. It's no big deal once we get paid. Even if she doesn't draw the drawings for us, we can't interfere with her." Director Wang's face turned pale. He was almost 50 years old and had lived for so many years to become a factory director. How could he not see what the situation was with these two people? Ye Qian would never sell design drawings to them for furniture manufacturing again.
Boss Zhang had a nonchalant expression. "Since that's the case, and he's here, let's just sign a formal employment contract."
Ye Qian almost couldn't hold back her curse words, but she finally managed to hold it back. She was a normal person, why would she bother with a fool? Besides, she was not mentally ill, so why would she sign a formal contract? She was crazy.
Ye Qian rolled her eyes at her and said to Director Wang, "Just transfer the remaining money to me. I'm leaving now."
Director Wang was afraid that the two would quarrel, so he told Ye Qian to leave. They couldn't cooperate in the future anyway, so it was okay as long as the relationship was not too awkward. With this ancestor around, cooperation could only be left to fate.
Boss Zhang didn't realize what was going on. He just saw Ye Qian about to leave and asked in disbelief, "If you want to leave, sign the contract first."
"What's the matter? If I don't sign the contract, are you still going to take my life lightly? Do I look like a poor person who needs to work outside? Are you sick?" Ye Qian said and turned away without looking back.
Boss Zhang inside didn't care: "I'll introduce two more designers to you."
right.
This is exactly what Boss Zhang wants. As long as Ye Qian is here, he won't be able to arrange his own people in. It would be better if Ye Qian leaves. He is tired of hearing people in the factory praise her every time they meet her. She is just a designer. It's not like he doesn't know anyone who does design. So, he can't replace her.
What is most terrifying is the irreplaceable. He wants to prove to the people in the factory that even if the company no longer has Ye Qian's designs, the other furniture will still sell like hot cakes and will not be worse than anyone else's.
