Chapter 127 Give torn cloth?
After spending a night in the space, Chen Yi shivered from the cold when she came out.
It’s too cold!
After the rain, the temperature dropped immediately.
She found a coat and put it on, then went to work with her bag on her back.
People in the factory also changed into long-sleeved jackets as they couldn't withstand the rapid drop in temperature.
Chen Yi came to the office, tidied up first, and then went directly to the office on the workshop side.
Wu Mei had arrived a long time ago and was gesturing with a few pieces of cloth.
"Secretary Chen is here, good morning." She turned around and saw the person coming, and greeted him enthusiastically.
Chen Yi nodded, "None of those pieces of fabric are suitable."
The fabric Wu Mei was holding was not suitable for making a shirt at all, and the second design was for a coat, which was obviously not suitable either.
"I know it's not suitable." Wu Mei sighed helplessly and said, "The workshop won't give me the fabric. I just want to take the good ones, but they won't let me."
She came very early this morning, but there was only one director in the workshop. When he heard that she wanted to take the fabric, he didn't stop her. But when he saw the fabric that was taken, he was immediately unhappy.
Chen Yi frowned upon hearing this. If this continued, when would she be able to finish the clothes?
Could it be that the two factory managers thought she was just playing around? So they treated her like she was playing house and didn't give her good fabrics.
"Secretary Chen, why don't we use this to deal with it first?" Wu Mei saw that she was frowning, and couldn't help but persuade her: "They haven't seen the finished product yet, so they don't want to waste it. When our finished product comes out, we will definitely give them good fabrics."
She felt that the factory did not give them fabric because it had not seen the finished product, and making them use ripped fabric was a test for them.
Chen Yi shook her head. "You think too simply. If it were so easy to make clothes, anyone could do it."
"Clothes made of this fabric will not be aesthetically pleasing, but will look weird. No one will think the clothes are good-looking."
Wu Mei didn't say anything else, and she had no good solution.
After thinking about it, Chen Yi turned and went to the next workshop.
At this time, the workers were all at work and the sounds of sewing machines could be heard one after another.
"Hello, I want to find the workshop director. Who is he?" Chen Yi grabbed a worker and asked.
"That's it." He pointed at the man who was instructing a sewing machine not far away.
Chen Yi thanked him and walked away.
"Excuse me, is this the director?"
Director Wang was stunned when he saw Chen Yi. "Secretary Chen? Why are you here?"
The last time the factory got new equipment, it was Chen Yi who explained it to them. He was very familiar with this person.
When Chen Yi saw that he recognized her, she also remembered, wasn't this the director who came to give the lecture last time?
"Director Wang, I came here to trouble you with something." She felt a little embarrassed.
It's troublesome as soon as we meet, but there's nothing I can do because she needs fabric.
There is some in the space, but there is no need to take it out. Why should I make things for the factory and have to make the fabric myself? There is no reason for that.
Upon hearing this, Director Wang quickly said, "What do you mean by troublesome or not? Secretary Chen, just tell me what you want. I will definitely do it for you if I can."
Chen Yi nodded and told her about her need for fabric.
Finally, he continued, "Just two pieces of each kind of fabric will do. Director Wang, I understand if you think it's troublesome and don't agree."
If that didn't work, she went to ask the factory manager.
What does that mean? Asking you to do the work without giving you tools?
The sewing machine in the office is old. If Wu Mei hadn't been there to poke at it, it would probably have broken after just a few steps.
When Director Wang heard these things, he remembered that someone had indeed come to ask for cloth in the morning.
But cloth is such a valuable thing, so he gave some defective ones and some that were useless.
Now that Chen Yi is here to ask for it, of course he has to do his best.
"That's no problem. I'll take you to the warehouse and take whichever one you like." Director Wang immediately took his people out.
Chen Yi didn't expect that he was so easy to talk to. She felt relieved and happy that someone was willing to help.
After choosing the fabric, Director Wang cut it for her, and then said, "Secretary Chen, if you need anything else, just come and find me."
He could still make the decision on some fabrics, and what's more, Chen Yi had humbled herself to beg those foreigners, and he was quite grateful.
Hearing this, Chen Yi nodded, said a few polite words, and went back directly.
Wu Mei originally thought that Chen Yi would not bring back any good fabrics, but she was still very surprised when she saw what Chen Yi was holding.
"Sure enough, it all depends on the person you are dealing with." She couldn't help but complain.
When I went there myself, I didn't get anything, I just took a few defective products and looked at other people's products.
It turns out that people will pay attention to her if she gets things done, but this is not the case for a junior apprentice like her.
Chen Yi smiled and said nothing. She asked her to help cut and start making clothes.
We have to hurry up and make this dress. It would be best if it could be finished in the evening.
The weather has gotten cold, and we are now making long-sleeved clothes. If she doesn't speed up, then when the snow falls, we won't be able to take orders for these clothes until the beginning of next spring.
The two of them were busy working, and Chen Yi went to get lunch at noon.
The two of them were very tired, so she paid for a plate of braised pork.
If it weren't for Wu Mei, she wouldn't know what to do.
Others did a lot of the work while she was just directing them from the side, so of course Wu Mei was the one who was most tired.
Back in the office, Wu Mei ate the braised pork and felt particularly happy.
"Secretary Chen, it's such a pleasure to work with you, and we get to eat meat."
She was deeply moved.
She was working with the master just two days ago, and she was watching him eat meat.
Actually, it was nothing, after all, it was paid for by others. But she felt bitter when she thought about not getting a permanent job in three years.
Chen Yi smiled and said, "What's that? If you work hard in the future, you might be able to get a permanent job soon. When your salary goes up, won't you be able to eat meat more often?"
Apprentices only earn 16 yuan a month. There is nothing you can do about it. Wu Mei’s job cannot be compared with that of front-line workers, so there are differences among apprentices.
The most expensive apprentices can earn more than 20 yuan a month, and it is very tiring hard work.
After becoming a regular employee, I earn more than 30 yuan a month.
An apprentice like Wu Mei only earns 26 yuan a month after becoming a regular employee. Although it may not seem like much, it is not a small amount.
Wu Mei sighed and said, "It would be great if I could become a regular employee."
But let’s not talk about this today, she continued to attack the braised pork!
The two of them worked until it was almost time to get off work, and the dress was finally finished.
When Wu Mei saw the finished product, she was amazed, "Secretary Chen, you are amazing!"
Even though she had said this at least ten times, she still wanted to say it.
It’s really amazing!
This style has never been seen before and it looks amazing.
Only people in big cities can wear this kind of clothes, right?
