Chapter 331: You Can’t Force It
The food in the garment factory has also been improved in the past six months. In the past, we wouldn't have meat for ten days or half a month, but recently there has been a meat dish every day.
This makes the workers with good conditions particularly happy. After all, the food in the factory is much cheaper than outside, so it is more cost-effective to eat here.
"Director Chen, Director Li is calling you." After dinner, the director's secretary came to inform her.
Chen Yi nodded, then got up and went out.
The door of the factory director's office was open. Director Li was sitting on a chair in the room. No one knew what he was thinking about, staring out the window.
"Director Li, you're looking for me." She knocked on the door and walked in.
Director Li came back to his senses, then smiled and nodded, "Sit down."
The two people sat face to face. The secretary outside brought in tea and then went out and closed the door.
"Director Chen, how do you like the fabric over there?" He knew that they had gone to look at the fabric yesterday afternoon.
Hearing this, Chen Yi replied: "Not ideal, there is no fabric that I want to see."
After saying this, she also thought that not all textile factories can produce good printed fabrics.
This requires imported machines, but such machines cost hundreds of thousands or even millions, and not every textile factory can afford them.
Even though money is very valuable in this day and age, if it’s imported, or a large machine, it will definitely be very expensive.
In particular, the machine does not become unusable after a few years of use. This kind of machine can be used for decades.
Of course, as times change, some machines may not last that long.
Director Li pursed his lips, his eyes full of complexities. It can be seen that he is very worried now.
"Director Li, what's wrong with you?" Chen Yi was a little confused. Logically speaking, she shouldn't be so worried now.
It's just that the fabric was not selected well, and the same applies to other things.
If you can't find it, you can still continue production according to the previous fabric specifications.
"Alas..." Factory Director Li sighed and said, "The manufacturer that previously placed foreign trade orders with us has no orders this spring."
This was the news he just learned yesterday, and he received the call just after getting off work in the afternoon.
After learning the news, he felt very complicated and panicked.
What should they do without these orders?
Thinking of this, Director Li did not sleep well last night and has been worried since he came to work in the morning.
Hearing this, Chen Yi felt a little surprised.
Just a little bit.
Because it is normal for this kind of thing to happen, she had said it before, but she didn't expect this day to come so soon.
"Director Li, don't worry too much. Didn't we anticipate this?" She could only comfort others, but she was also a little worried in her heart.
After all, the second factory has just started up, and the good times haven’t lasted even a year, but already there’s no foreign trade.
"That's what I said." Director Li said helplessly, "We did expect this situation a long time ago, but it's hard to accept it when it comes to reality."
Who can accept this?
The year-end meeting starts tomorrow. He may be praised by his leaders, but what about after the new year?
Thinking of this, he sighed again, "Ah..."
Seeing him so conflicted, Chen Yi couldn't help but say, "We don't need to think that way. If we don't have it in the spring, we can try harder in the summer."
Of course, she wasn't sure about summer.
Generally speaking, I don’t place orders here in the spring, and I won’t come here again in the summer.
But it is better than feeling desperate. The important thing is to find orders from nearby provincial capitals as soon as possible.
Director Li opened his mouth and wanted to speak but no words came out.
He knew that this had nothing to do with Chen Yi's design drawings, and he had also seen the drawings. They were very good, and there were many orders nearby.
Maybe it's time?
There's no point in thinking so much. They've already called and said they won't place any more orders, so there's no point in expecting anything.
"Okay, you go back first, I just want to inform you." He forced a smile.
Seeing his forced smile, Chen Yi nodded, then stood up and left.
After returning, she sat behind her desk, not knowing how to deal with it.
Of course, if the foreign trade party does not place an order, there is nothing you can do about it.
The money is in someone else's pocket. You can't just take it away if they don't give it to you, right?
So Chen Yi knew that this kind of thing could not be forced.
Since there is no foreign trade, then we should contact nearby stores and supply and marketing cooperatives as soon as possible. We should get as much as we can. Little by little, we can add up to a lot.
At noon, Chen Yi was sitting in the office eating. She saw Zhou Zhengyang leaving in a hurry at the door and was puzzled.
Why are you still carrying a backpack?
But it was lunch time now, so she didn't need to ask where others were going or what they were doing.
She lowered her head and continued eating, still thinking about what happened in the morning.
Zhou Zhengyang came to the gate with his backpack. When he saw Zhang Zhaodi, he looked a little unnatural.
Director Chen talked to him yesterday afternoon, and his words implied that something in the house had been moved.
Although he didn't lose anything, he still felt very uncomfortable.
"What's wrong, Zhengyang?" Zhang Zhaodi also grew up reading people's faces, so she noticed something was wrong at a glance.
Don’t you like yourself anymore?
When she thought of this, she panicked. After all, she knew very well what she looked like.
I can't say she's beautiful, but she's just a little above average, and can be considered pretty.
But there are so many lesbians who are prettier than her, so she has always been very worried that people just don’t like her that much and she is afraid that she will be snatched away by someone else.
Zhou Zhengyang didn't know she was thinking so much, so he replied, "Nothing, let's go eat, I haven't eaten yet."
Zhang Zhaodi would come to see him at noon every day. Of course, this guy didn’t have a job, otherwise he wouldn’t be so idle.
Zhang Zhaodi nodded, still feeling a little nervous.
After the two of them arrived at the restaurant, she cautiously and tentatively asked, "Did I do something wrong to make you angry?"
Her parents have disliked her since she was a child, so she is very cautious when interacting with others, especially those she is close to.
Seeing her expression, Zhou Zhengyang didn't want to say anything anymore. He felt helpless, what's the point of saying it?
Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "No, I'm just having a hard time at work. Let's eat."
Not happy with work?
The first thing Zhang Zhaodi thought of was that Chen Yi was making things difficult for others. After all, working under her, no matter how unhappy things were, wasn’t it because of her boss?
She said unhappily, "I think Director Chen is not easy to get along with. Don't be afraid if she makes things difficult for you."
In her eyes, Zhou Zhengyang is a college graduate who will become a leader in the future.
Chen Yi can only draw a picture, what else can he be capable of?
Hearing this, Zhou Zhengyang looked at her in surprise, because he didn't say what it was about, so how could it involve Director Chen?
"Do you have any grudge against Director Chen? Zhaodi, tell me the truth." He looked at the person opposite him with a serious expression.
