Chapter 366 Living in Her Shadow
Hearing this, Du Fangyu nodded in agreement, "Okay then."
She didn't know what was going on, so when Yu Lili stared at her, she was a little confused.
It seems like he didn't say anything? Why is he looking at her like that?
As for what that look was, Du Fangyu didn't understand.
While everyone was chatting, the food had already been delivered from the cafeteria.
There were four people in total. In addition to Du Fangyu and Yu Lili, there were two apprentices who usually followed Yu Lili. These two were the best learners.
Chen Yi watched them eat, then turned to Zhou Zhengyang and said, "Clean up my office, and you don't have to come over. There's nothing to do here."
There are so many people here, what are they doing here?
They are not leaders, so there is no need to treat them with high standards.
Zhou Zhengyang responded, then turned and walked out.
Yu Lili, who was standing by, had a strange look in her eyes and then continued to eat with her head down.
The reception given to them by the Second Factory was quite good. Two of the four dishes were meat dishes, and they were not served in a large pot but cooked individually.
After dinner, Du Fangyu mentioned that he wanted to go and take a look at the production line in the workshop.
Hearing this, Chen Yi stood up and said, "Director Li, I'll take them there."
"Okay then. If you need anything, ask my secretary to call me." Director Li didn't want to deal with this group of people at all. The only reason he came to receive them was because Director Fan was not here. He couldn't just leave everything to Chen Yi, right?
All that was left was to show them around, so he didn't have anything to worry about.
Seeing that everyone had left, Chen Yi turned around and said, "Everyone, follow me."
After saying that, he took people to the production workshop to take a look.
Everyone over there was working, and when they saw someone coming they continued working.
Director Zhao came out to check the situation. "Director Chen, these are the comrades from Baicheng, right?"
"Well, let's just take a look and you go about your business." Chen Yi nodded.
"Why don't we go to the design office and take a look?" Du Fangyu suggested when she saw Director Zhao coming over there.
After hearing this, no one said no.
Chen Yi glanced at her indifferently, then walked over there, with the people following closely behind her.
When I arrived at the office, everyone was reading books. They only had a vague understanding of Chen Yi's previous lectures, so they decided to study from the textbooks first.
Seeing the person coming, everyone stood up and said, "Director Chen."
"You guys are busy, we just want to take a look." Chen Yi motioned for them to sit down. It wasn't like the leaders came to inspect, so these people didn't need to be greeted by everyone.
After hearing this, everyone sat down and continued reading.
Unlike the Baicheng Garment Factory, their design drawings were not posted on the wall, and no one drew them.
Du Fangyu discovered this, and Yu Lili also saw it.
She gave Du Fangyu a look, then walked over and stood aside.
Du Fangyu understood immediately, and said to Chen Yi with a smile: "Why didn't everyone draw a design? And don't you usually have a design drawing?"
After all, you are here to study, so it is normal to ask these questions.
As soon as they heard about the design drawing, everyone in the office looked at Du Fangyu.
The people from Baicheng also noticed that something seemed to be wrong with everyone. They were just asking about the design drawings, so why were everyone so sensitive?
Only Yu Lili understood what was going on. She knew in her heart that the people at Chuncheng Factory No. 2 were like frightened birds.
But she doesn't regret it now, because if she wants to become bigger and stronger, she must get foreign trade orders.
It’s a pity that no one was willing to place an order for those two design drawings.
Chen Yi glanced at Yu Lili who was in a daze, and seeing her complicated expression, she sneered in her heart.
Then he said calmly: "Our design drawings are destroyed after they are completed, so there are no drawings."
"Destroy?! Why?" Du Fangyu was very puzzled. After all, the design drawings could be given to new apprentices for learning. Why should they be destroyed?
Chen Yi sat down and replied calmly, "Everyone's design style is independent. There is certainly room for learning from the designs of predecessors, but if you just look at others and don't learn on your own, you will end up living under the shadow of others for the rest of your life."
"I don't want our apprentices to be like this. They have to have their own ideas, too."
To other people, there was nothing wrong with what she said; instead, they thought it made a lot of sense.
But to Yu Lili's ears, it sounded so ironic.
That she lives in Chen Yi's shadow?
Yu Lili looked up at Chen Yi, and the two of them happened to look at each other. She saw the sarcasm in the other's eyes and couldn't help but clench her fists.
They all discovered...
But it's normal. The clothes have been sold to Chuncheng, so it's hard not to be noticed.
If you can't see what's right under your eyelids, wouldn't that make you blind?
"Then let's all read and study?" Du Fangyu was very good at observation and had already noticed that everyone was reading.
There are also people with books in Baicheng, but people just don’t find it interesting and feel it is unhelpful.
Hearing this, Chen Yi stood up, walked to Li Qing, picked up the book and said, "Reading only enriches a person's knowledge and basic knowledge, while design relies on a person's wild and unconstrained ideas. This cannot be taught, as everyone is an independent individual."
What she said was the truth, and she usually tells everyone the same thing besides giving lectures.
But Yu Lili on the opposite side felt disdainful. There was nothing she could teach. Wasn’t it just a way to deal with them?
Thinking of this, she stood up and said, "Director Chen, if you don't want us to learn, just say it directly. Why are you beating around the bush?"
She is indeed an impatient person, and her little thoughts are sometimes written on her face without her noticing.
Chen Yi smiled and said, "Director Yu, what you said is not right. If I don't agree with you coming to study, I should just say it directly. Why do I have to wait until you come to tell me?"
"We all serve the factory and contribute to the country, but learning also depends on your own ideas. You won't understand just because I tell you."
You can learn whatever you want to learn. If you just want others to give you their homework and let you copy it, then what's the point of learning?
Unfortunately, Yu Lili didn't believe it at all and turned around and walked out.
Du Fangyu was a little embarrassed, and then continued to ask Chen Yi other questions.
Since she couldn't control Yu Lili, she decided to find out more about what was happening here so that she could give an explanation to Director Fu when she returned.
If they followed Yu Lili's temper, they would probably be scolded when they returned home.
Chen Yi was not angry, nor did she reject Du Fangyu. She answered their questions when she could, and said a few vague words about the ones she could not answer.
Anyway, they won’t ask forcefully, right?
Du Fangyu is also a person with high emotional intelligence. When she sees that there are some things that cannot be asked, she chooses to ask about the things that can be asked and asks them clearly.
Finally, Chen Yi promised her that she could arrange for everyone to give them a lecture tomorrow.
This can be considered as giving face to the Baicheng Garment Factory so that they don't return empty-handed, and it also reflects their magnanimity.
