Chapter 133: Sweet Talk Makes Things Go Wise
"Boss, my mother works at the Jiali Garment Factory." Su Jiaojiao didn't care about the young man's nonsense. She walked straight up to the boss's wife and explained her purpose directly. She smiled sweetly and said, "My mother said that your leather jackets are finely crafted and the styles are very beautiful. The boss and the boss's wife are also hardworking and capable, with good tempers and good character."
"You're quite the sweet talker, young lady." The lady boss laughed heartily, her eyes wrinkled with crow's feet. "So you want to make leather jackets here? No problem. Do you want to process the materials you supply, or do you want to customize them? Come, let's sit down and talk."
Processing on supplied materials means that the companies provide their own raw materials and auxiliary materials, and they only earn processing fees.
There are two types of customization, but it is assumed that they provide raw materials and auxiliary materials, and she only needs to provide the style. Customization is usually in small quantities and is more expensive than batch processing.
"Boss, I want to process the materials I've supplied. I'd like to ask how the processing fee is calculated?" Su Jiaojiao asked politely. The boss's wife smiled again, "My name is Ding Mei. They all call me Sister Ding. You don't have to call me Boss. Just call me Sister Ding."
"Girl, my name is Liu Ming, you can just call me Brother Liu." The young man who whistled just now shouted, "Instead of looking for her, you might as well look for your Brother Liu. Your Brother Liu knows everything."
Everyone laughed again.
"Just do your job, you bastard! We're talking business!" Ding Mei stood up and pointed at him, scolding him with a smile, "I'm telling you, Liu Ming, she's just a little girl. Don't scare her with your mouth full of shit."
Then he turned to Su Jiaojiao, "Don't be offended. They are all rough guys, just talking nonsense. They are still pretty good people. It wouldn't be lively if they didn't talk and laugh!"
"Sister Ding understands me. She knows I'm big and thick." Liu Ming shouted more excitedly, "But I won't admit I'm old. I'm still as good as ever!"
Everyone laughed so hard that they doubled over.
Especially the two middle-aged women sitting next to Ding Mei laughed so hard that they sat on the ground. The ground was full of wool, and their bodies were covered with fine and tiny wool.
Su Jiaojiao's face turned red when she heard this, and she just smiled awkwardly.
The management of individual processing points is much looser than that of formal units.
Most of the people who work here are middle-aged people with families and certain experience. There are not many young people. They have fun by talking dirty. Maybe this is also a way for them to have fun, although Su Jiaojiao doesn't understand it.
After everyone had finished laughing and joking, Ding Mei finally got down to business and talked about the processing fees: "Our processing fees are based on the style and leather material. Don't worry, we will only be lower than the market price, not higher. Generally speaking, the normal style is between 30 and 120 yuan. If it's a leather coat, it will definitely be more expensive. Pigskin is around 200 yuan, and sheepskin and cowhide are around 300 yuan. But these are not certain. It still depends on the style."
Su Jiaojiao understood what was going on, thanked him, and stood up to say goodbye.
As long as the price is reasonable, she can accept it.
Liu Ming's unbridled teasing voice could be heard from behind: "Girl, leave now! I haven't even had a good look at you yet!"
There was another burst of laughter.
Su Jiaojiao quickly walked out of the Natus Leather Factory.
In her previous life, she helped out in the warehouse of the Natus Leather Factory. She never entered the workshop and didn't meet Liu Ming and the others. She felt depressed when she thought about working in such an environment in the future.
The weather suddenly turned cloudy and thunder could be heard faintly.
It was about to rain, so Su Jiaojiao trotted back to the Jiali Garment Factory. Seeing that the weather was bad, Chen Guilan didn't work overtime and went back to the snack street with Su Jiaojiao.
Chen Xiaohong was busy packing up her stall and moving her vegetable baskets. When she saw the mother and daughter return, she ran over and said, "A relative of yours came to look for you. I don't know who she was, but when she saw you weren't there, she left in a hurry."
"Who?" Chen Guilan's expression changed immediately. "Male or female?"
"A woman." Chen Xiaohong gestured. "Tall, with a ponytail, and wearing work clothes."
Not Chen Juan.
Su Jiaojiao was relieved and asked again, "Which factory are these work clothes from?"
"It looks like the work clothes from Fenghua Textile Factory." Chen Xiaohong thought for a moment and said with certainty, "Yes, yes, it's from Fenghua Textile Factory."
That's Chen Mei.
However, Chen Mei is of average height and cannot be considered tall.
"It should be your second cousin Chen Ju." The more Chen Guilan listened, the more suspicious she felt. "Could something have happened to your uncle?"
"He's in trouble and came to us?" Su Jiaojiao had seen Chen Guichang on the road, and maybe he didn't even recognize him. Chen Guilan was still worried, "Could it be that something happened to my second aunt? Jiaojiao, let's go to Fenghua Textile Factory and ask them!"
"Mom, don't worry. I'll call the village first." Su Jiaojiao didn't want to go find Chen Mei, so she ran to the phone booth and called the village. Chen Minghui answered the phone. Su Jiaojiao asked him, "Uncle, could you please go to my second uncle's house and ask my cousin to answer the phone? I need her for something."
"Okay, call back later." Chen Minghui put down the phone and went to Chen Guisheng's house. Not seeing Chen Juan, he asked Chen Guisheng, "Where's your Chen Juan?"
"He went to the city and should be back soon." Chen Guisheng looked at the sky and was covering firewood with plastic film in the alley.
Chen Minghui had just returned to the office when Su Jiaojiao called again. When she heard Chen Minghui say that Chen Juan had come to the city, her heart, which had just been relieved, began to lift again. What was Chen Juan doing in the city?
Just as she put down the phone, she heard Chen Guilan calling her at the door: "Jiaojiao, come back soon, your second cousin is here."
Chen Ju pushed her bicycle and walked over to Su Jiaojiao anxiously, "Jiaojiao, Chen Juan is missing."
"Why is she gone?" Su Jiaojiao asked Chen Ju hurriedly, "What is she doing in the city?"
"Didn't my dad introduce Chen Juan to a guy a while ago..." Chen Ju is different from Chen Mei. Chen Ju has a slow temper and speaks softly, which can make people anxious. "My dad and that young man's uncle had a falling out over something, and my dad didn't allow Chen Juan to associate with that young man, so he called Chen Juan to talk about this."
"How could your father do such a thing?" Chen Guilan couldn't help but complain, "Then why did you say Chen Juan was missing?"
"She ran away from my house crying!" Chen Ju said embarrassedly, "I chased her out, but I couldn't catch her, so I got worried. She wasn't riding her bike, and it was about to rain, so I was worried about her."
"Cousin, let's split up and look for her!" Su Jiaojiao understood what was going on. She pushed her bicycle over from Chen Xiaohong's side and made some arrangements. "I'll go look for her in the village along the way back, and you look nearby."
Then he said to Chen Guilan, "Mom, you just stay at home. If my sister comes, don't let her go. Make sure to keep her and let her call the village to let them know she's safe."
It's really inconvenient to not have a mobile phone.
There's something that can't be contacted.
"Aunt, if I find her, I will bring Chen Juan to you." Chen Ju rode away on her bicycle. Su Jiaojiao quickly found her raincoat, put it in the bicycle basket, and went back to look for her along the way back to the village.
She was sure that nothing happened to Chen Juan, so she wasn't too worried.
But when she thought about Chen Juan's current pain, her heart ached again. That was to say, this kind of thing had happened in her previous life, but she didn't know it.
Halfway through the journey, the rain started to pour down.
Su Jiaojiao had no choice but to put on a raincoat and ride her bike slowly forward.
During this period, she was busy with her own affairs and didn't care about Chen Juan. She knew that Chen Juan was on a blind date, but she didn't ask how the two were getting along. The marriage in the previous life didn't work out, but she didn't know the specific reason.
Although both Chen Guilan and she opposed this marriage, Chen Juan was the person involved and her feelings were equally important. As a sister and a best friend, she should pay attention to this matter and remind her of the pros and cons of this marriage, instead of focusing only on the results and ignoring the process.
The more Su Jiaojiao thought about it, the more guilty she felt. She went all the way to Wutong Village, but didn't find Chen Juan.
