Chapter 181 A rare opportunity
"Yes, sure." Zhang Wenhai nodded in agreement, and then asked, "Why did you suddenly think of bringing this up? I didn't say you had to design a certain number of clothes or anything like that."
Indeed, he never made these requests.
But Chen Yi knew that Director Zheng was always looking for trouble, so she told Zhang Wenhai first and didn't need to tell anyone else.
Chen Yi smiled and said, "Nothing, isn't this just a greeting in advance?"
"Oh, okay." Zhang Wenhai nodded without asking any more questions, and let her go back.
Now that the clothes have been delivered, Chen Yi can have some free time.
After returning to guide the three young clerks in making and drawing clothes, Wu Mei is doing okay, but her vision is too low and there is room for improvement.
Other people’s painting skills are not good either, and their taste is not good either, so they need more practice.
Although it is rather troublesome, this is to be expected. After all, not many people can be so good and talented at the beginning.
"Director Chen, why is my drawing not good?" Wu Mei stood there with a sad face, holding her own design drawing in her hand and almost going crazy.
Hearing this, Chen Yi sighed and said helplessly: "You need to design it a little bolder, such as color, or add some accessories? You can't always ask me. If you keep asking me, is there any need for creation?"
"If I keep giving you advice, doesn't that become my design? You should think about it carefully."
That being said, Wu Mei still didn't quite understand. However, she also figured it out. No wonder the old masters in the workshop had not had any innovation. It was really too difficult.
If everything were that easy, there probably wouldn't be a department like theirs.
"I'll go back and think about it." She pursed her lips and turned back.
Chen Yi shook her head. This person is dexterous but lacks imagination.
Other people are the same, they don't have the ability to think, they just think that clothes should be like this, there's nothing new about it.
During the lunch break, Chen Yi saw Director Zhang walking towards the office and quickly followed him.
"What's wrong, Director Chen?" Zhang Wenhai turned around and saw that she was so anxious, thinking that something important had happened.
Chen Yi took a breath and said, "Director Zhang, I want to discuss something with you."
The two men went into the deputy factory director's office and talked for about half an hour, which basically took up the entire lunch break.
"Director Chen, next time if you have something to ask, please come to me during working hours. Don't come during lunch break." Zhang Wenhai rubbed his temple with a helpless look on his face.
Although these leaders don't have to do physical labor, they still need rest after using their brains.
Chen Yi smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Okay, Director Zhang, I'm sorry to interrupt your lunch break. I'll go back first."
Now that the business was done, there was no need for her to stay here any longer.
Hearing this, Zhang Wenhai could only smile bitterly, waved his hand and asked her to go back first.
Chen Yi returned to the office and thought about what they had just talked about.
In fact, I just wanted to take these three young clerks out to see the world. They stayed in the factory all day and had no chance to get ahead.
If you have no experience and work in isolation, you will never succeed.
Especially in the clothing industry, if a designer has no vision, he is no different from an ordinary tailor.
So, Chen Yi mentioned to Zhang Wenhai that she wanted to take these three people on a business trip for half a month.
All in all, there isn't much work in their office right now, and Director Feng is basically the one who handles the trivial matters.
Zhang Wenhai did not refuse and nodded in agreement.
"You three come here." Chen Yi looked up and called out to the three of them.
The people on the opposite side were stunned for a moment, then quickly put down what they were holding and walked over quickly.
"It's like this." Chen Yi cleared her throat and said, "I talked to Director Zhang and I'm going to take you on a business trip next week. However, the food allowance is very low, so the food will definitely be bad."
"Those of you who want to go can go with me, and those who don't want to go don't have to go. This is not a hard and fast rule of the factory. I just want to take you out to learn. As for whether to go or not, it's up to you to decide."
After all, it was she who brought it up, so it was completely voluntary whether to go or not, and she wouldn't force you if you didn't want to go.
Of course, she thought that no one would refuse, right? She could go out and broaden her horizons without affecting her work.
The factory reimburses the travel expenses, but the meal allowance is indeed not much, and this is not a job assigned by the factory, so it is actually very good to be able to do this.
"Go! Of course! I'll go!" Wu Mei was so excited that she just wanted to broaden her horizons.
Ever since Chen Yi asked her to design clothes independently, she realized that she did have shortcomings in this area.
Going on a business trip is definitely a very good opportunity and should not be missed.
Li Qing thought about it and nodded, "I'll go too. It's a good opportunity to learn!"
She hasn't learned much so far, but she also knows that good opportunities to broaden her horizons don't always come along.
When she heard everyone else say they were going, Zhang Zhaodi grabbed her clothes, pursed her lips and said nothing.
Seeing her tangled look, Chen Yi asked, "Zhang Zhaodi, aren't you going?"
What a great opportunity! Although she respects their opinions, it would be a pity if someone didn't go.
Hearing this, Zhang Zhaodi said with difficulty: "Can I go back and ask my family?"
After saying this, she felt embarrassed. After all, she was already in her twenties and still needed to ask her family before going out.
Chen Yi nodded, "Okay, there are still a few days left next week, just tell me when you've made up your mind."
She didn't care about that. She said it was voluntary and she wouldn't force her if she didn't want to go.
Although Chen Yi didn't meddle in other people's business, the other two found it very confusing.
Wu Mei went back to sit on the chair, turned around and asked, "Zhang Zhaodi, why don't you want to go? This is such a good opportunity. If we go out this time, maybe we can design clothes when we come back."
This sounds a bit weird, as if one has been reborn after going out.
But everyone understood what she meant, it was a rare opportunity anyway.
Zhang Zhaodi smiled bitterly. She wanted to go, too, but...
"I'll go back and ask. I'm not sure whether I can go or not." She grabbed her clothes and lowered her head.
She said it wasn't necessarily the case, but she knew in her heart that her family would definitely not let her go.
Although her salary is not deducted, her family needs her.
"Okay." Wu Mei sighed and said, "You'd better go. This is an opportunity that Director Chen specifically fought for. Most units don't have outside work, but they never allow business trips."
She had been an apprentice here for three years, so she knew a lot.
Business trips mean travel expenses, meals and accommodation, all of which cost money. The factory won't easily spend money to let them go out and play.
I think Chen Yi must have put a lot of effort into this matter.
Zhang Zhaodi didn't say anything and kept her head down. She had no energy to draw the whole afternoon.
The other two people were quite happy, chatting and drawing from time to time, and they looked very relaxed.
