Chapter 128 It's unfair
Chen Yi looked at the newly made clothes and nodded with satisfaction.
It’s indeed okay. It could have been more refined, but if it were too refined, no one would dare to wear it.
If it doesn't conform to the aesthetic standards of this era, no matter how beautiful the clothes are, people won't dare to buy them, let alone wear them.
The clothes are made of pure cotton, with a light pink base and thin white stripes on it.
This is the best-looking fabric. Nowadays, as long as you don’t wear bright red or floral fabric, you don’t care about anything else.
The difference between this piece of clothing and an ordinary shirt is the collar and the shoulder parts.
The shoulders have a slightly padded feeling, a bit like the puff sleeves of later generations, but not completely puffed out.
There are just five tiny folds on the shoulders, making them softer.
People with ordinary shoulders will have a three-dimensional effect when wearing it.
For people with broad shoulders, wearing this dress will have some decorative effect.
The neckline is not the traditional one, but a round neckline, which looks better.
There are some details added on the neckline, which makes the dress look carefully and exquisitely made.
But experienced tailors who are familiar with this area know that it doesn’t actually take much effort.
Chen Yi put away her clothes with satisfaction and said, "Thank you for troubling Comrade Wu today."
Although the two people worked together, it was Wu Mei who basically did the physical work.
Hearing this, Wu Mei smiled and said, "Hey, Mr. Chen, why are you so polite? Just tell me if there is anything I can help you with. I can't do anything else, but I am good at making clothes."
Although she worked hard today, it was still relatively easy compared to working with the master.
Especially after eating the braised pork, she had a better impression of Chen Yi.
How could anyone give her braised pork? Apart from her family and relatives, this was the first time she had eaten such good food from an outsider.
The two of them cleaned up the office while chatting and laughing, and they had to continue working tomorrow.
Chen Yi saw Wu Mei off and turned to go to the purchasing department.
As expected, Ma Li was waiting for her. When she saw her coming, she hurried over.
"How is it, girl? Are the clothes made?" She looked concerned and quite nervous.
Since the temperature dropped last night, the factory has received more orders.
If there is no progress on Chen Yi's clothes, I'm afraid I'll have to wait until winter.
Chen Yi raised her hand to signal, and then said: "It's done, Sister Li, can you help me take a look first?"
When Ma Li saw the clothes, she was a little surprised.
"Oh, how come your little brain can make such beautiful clothes?"
She couldn't help but sigh that some people are just amazing, they can make clothes and speak foreign languages.
She's pretty, it's really unfair.
"Sister Li, does it look good?" Chen Yi said with a smile, "I just think it will look better this way."
Ma Li nodded. "It looks good! By the way, have the factory director and the others seen it?"
"Not yet. I'll bring it to you to see when I'm done." Chen Yi shook her head, thinking that the factory director and the others should have gone off work.
Especially when I think of the office where I work, I definitely feel a little uncomfortable.
In fact, it may seem better now, but in the summer, it will be hot and stuffy there, and there will be no ventilation.
If you don’t even have a stove in the winter, won’t you shiver with cold?
When Ma Li heard that she hadn't told the factory director yet, she immediately took the people and things to Director Zhang's office.
At that time, Director Zhang was having a meal. He was stunned for a moment when he saw them coming.
"Director Ma, you haven't finished get off work yet?"
Everyone had gotten off work at this time, but he had some work to do, so he was eating here and planned to continue working after dinner.
Ma Li walked over and said with a smile: "It's not like you're not off work. The factory manager is really dedicated. I guess there must be someone in this office."
Zhang Wenhai put down his chopsticks and smiled, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
You come to see him so late, aren't you just here to see if he's off work?
Ma Li opened the dress and placed it in front of Zhang Wenhai. "Director Zhang, how do you like this dress?"
Zhang Wenhai looked at the clothes and the details, nodded and said, "It's okay."
Why do you say it's okay? Clothes look their best when they're worn. If you leave them lying around, you don't know if they look good.
Mary asked him to wait a moment and then turned and went out.
Chen Yi, who was standing behind, looked confused, but she still waited obediently.
After a while, Mary came over wearing new clothes.
To be honest, my stomach is a little tight...
Maybe it’s the sorrow of middle-aged women, their belly has grown.
But it doesn’t matter whether it’s tight or not. What matters is that the clothes look better when worn.
Although Zhang Wenhai did not understand the aesthetic taste of female comrades, he had some knowledge after being the factory director for several years.
"Very good, was this made by Secretary Chen?" He looked at Chen Yi.
Chen Yi had said before that she wanted to make new clothes for the factory.
In fact, they were very pleased to hear this, but they did not hold many illusions in their hearts.
Thinking that Chen Yi had also made contributions to the factory, I just let her do what she wanted.
But unexpectedly, some new ideas were actually created.
Chen Yi nodded, "Yes, Director Zhang, do you think it's okay?"
In fact, this dress is just average in her opinion, but if viewed from the perspective of that era, it is very good, after all, there were too few styles of clothes at that time.
Even in Hong Kong, there are many more styles of clothes than these.
Zhang Wenhai nodded and said, "Okay, please send the drawings over tomorrow."
Now most of the long-sleeved shirts in the factory come from orders for Chen Yi’s shirt.
Other clothing orders are the same as before, and this is expected to drive some orders.
The two men left the office and rode their bikes home.
On the way, Chen Yi remembered something, stopped the car and asked, "Sister Li, when will our factory recruit workers?"
"Why are you asking this suddenly?" Ma Li stopped and looked at her in confusion.
Chen Yi smiled and said, "A friend of mine just returned to the city and is now going to the steel mill. I want to see if there is a chance for him to come to our factory."
In fact, she had thought about this matter a long time ago, but there was no reasonable job.
I had just arrived at the garment factory and had no connections to find a job.
So, she could only ask Ma Li if she could find a good job.
At least it's better than working in a steel mill, and it's not so tiring and hot.
Hearing this, Ma Li thought for a moment and said, "Our factory's recruitment period has passed, but there is a vacancy in logistics."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yi quickly said, "Sister Li, can we have a chance? I can give you gifts or anything."
She knew that the work was limited and needed to be managed. If Mary didn't want it, others would have to.
Ma Li nodded. "I'll ask for you tomorrow, but don't get your hopes up. Jobs in the factory are in high demand, but I don't know if I can make it."
After all, there was no plan yet, so she didn't dare to agree to it rashly.
Chen Yi nodded, she understood all of this.
