Chapter 152 Things About the Garment Factory
As August entered and the beginning of autumn approached, the weather became increasingly hotter. Even the trees on both sides of the road were drooping their branches limply due to the sun, and the cicadas on the branches were chirping intermittently.
This small room in the cutting workshop is even hotter. The fan above is shaky and the air it blows out is also hot.
Li Na's seven-day vacation ended quickly. After she returned to the workshop, Su Jiaojiao was the only one left cutting in the utility room of the cutting workshop. She was so hot that she was about to get heatstroke.
The cutting workshop has a large space and large fans, so although it is hot, it is not stuffy.
The main reason is that her leather materials cannot be put together with other people's knitted fabrics. It's good enough to have such a small house, why does she need a bicycle?
She took the time to buy a large fan, spending over 120 yuan, and hung an ice pack on it, which helped to relieve the stuffiness. Except for Mr. Wu's office and the conference room, there was no air conditioning in other places in the Jiali Garment Factory, so summer was the most unbearable.
Several workers in the workshop suffered from heatstroke and were resting in the dormitory.
Wu Youliang had people deliver ice cubes and ice cream to the workshop every day to relieve the summer heat.
The factory building of Natus Leather Factory is made of special iron sheets, which makes it more stuffy and hotter.
Ding Mei uses a water pipe to flush the roof to cool it down every day at noon, and she also has a constant supply of ice cream and ice cubes. The weather is too hot, and if the workers get heatstroke, it will be even more troublesome. Ice cream and ice cubes are still the cheapest items to cool down.
These days, Su Jiaojiao has to bring a change of clothes to work every day, otherwise, it would be very uncomfortable to wear wet clothes. She has already cut up all the scraps in the bag.
The remaining whole pieces of leather are relatively easy to cut. If I work overtime in the evening, I can finish cutting them in about another week.
For this batch of leather jackets, Su Jiaojiao has been working overtime until 10:30 for half a month, and it is already past 11 o'clock when she goes to bed. She weighed herself yesterday and found that she has lost 10 kilograms in these days. She is 1.65 meters tall and still weighs 90 kilograms. Everyone who sees her says that she has lost weight and is tired.
"After you finish this batch of leather jackets, you must have a good rest." Chen Guilan also felt that Su Jiaojiao was too thin, so she had to make her a midnight snack when she came back at night. Su Jiaojiao thought this was good. She didn't have such a good figure in her previous life. She remembered that her weight had been fluctuating around 120 pounds, and at her thinnest it was still over 110 pounds.
Although she is not very fat, she still likes her 90-pound figure.
Tired but happy.
"Your birthday is in two days. Let's invite Aunt Qin and Uncle Ju to have dinner together." August 9th is Chen Guilan's birthday. At this time last year, Su Jiaojiao was not well off and did not have time to celebrate her birthday. Chen Guilan simply boiled an egg and considered it a birthday. This year, Su Jiaojiao wanted to give her a good birthday.
"They're both so busy, I don't know if they have time, so let's not tell them!" Chen Guilan had her own considerations. If she mentioned her birthday, Qin Shuang would definitely buy her a gift, as she was already busy. Besides, Qin Shuang's birthday was last month, and she herself didn't celebrate her birthday. "It won't be too late to celebrate your birthday after you get married."
"Mom, you have to celebrate my birthday before I can get married!" Su Jiaojiao was speechless. "Don't worry about it. I'll arrange it. It's Saturday in two days. Let's relax."
"Then don't tell them in advance. Your Aunt Qin is a face-conscious person, and I don't want her to spend money." Qin Shuang gave her a bonus of 6,000 yuan, and she treated it like a hot potato. She refused for a long time before accepting it. She didn't want Qin Shuang to spend money anymore.
Six thousand yuan is a huge sum of money.
Where had she ever seen so much money?
This was also the main reason why she felt embarrassed to leave after completing the work clothes order for Jiahe Group.
"Okay, I won't tell you. I'll just ask everyone to get together and have a meal." Su Jiaojiao knew Chen Guilan's concerns. "I'll ask Aunt Qin tomorrow what she's been busy with and what time she'll be back. If she really doesn't have time, forget it."
The next day was the beginning of autumn, but the weather was not much cooler.
The sky is overcast and it looks like it's going to rain.
Su Jiaojiao and Chen Guilan arrived at the factory at six o'clock, half an hour earlier than usual. They happened to meet Qin Shuang who was about to go out. She was wearing a white casual sportswear and dragging a suitcase in her hand. She was standing at the gate waiting for Ju Peijun.
After seeing the mother and daughter, Qin Shuang put down his suitcase and went up to talk to them: "Why did you come so early?"
"My mom and I haven't seen you for several days. We miss you." Su Jiaojiao hadn't seen Qin Shuang for about a week. She was indeed too busy. Qin Shuang smiled and said, "Once I get this order done, you'll be able to see me more often."
"Are you going on a business trip again?" Chen Guilan saw her carrying a suitcase.
"There is a clothing fabric exhibition in Qingyuan, and the manufacturer representative I met last time in the provincial capital will also be there. I have made an appointment with them to meet in Qingyuan, so I don't have to go to the provincial capital." The pajamas order that Qin Shuang negotiated has basically been settled, except for the fabric supplier. Because it is a year-round supply, she has to strictly control both the cost and quality.
"Aunt Qin, how many days will it take for you to come back?" Su Jiaojiao was more concerned about this. If Qin Shuang and Ju Peijun didn't come back, they wouldn't be able to have dinner together.
"Two or three days!" Qin Shuang wasn't sure either. She remembered the trademark issue and told Su Jiaojiao, "I've already agreed with my friend that your trademark will be approved as soon as possible. Just be patient and wait a few more days. It will be by the end of this month at the latest."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Aunt Qin." Su Jiaojiao took out a few chocolates from her bag and stuffed them into her hands. "You can eat these on the way. Remember to eat on time."
"Little girls are just sweet-talkers." Qin Shuang's makeup was light, but she was still radiant. Her permed hair was curled in long, flowing waves, trembling gracefully. "You guys have been very busy these past few days, so you should also make sure to rest."
Then he turned to Chen Guilan, "Sister Guilan, I won't be home at night for the next two days. You don't have to go back. Just stay at my place. You don't have to run back and forth. I think it will rain for the next two days."
"Okay, we'll stay at your place tonight." Chen Guilan agreed readily. She had the key to Qin Shuang's dormitory and sometimes went there to rest for a while at noon. Qin Shuang was not there these days, so she didn't go there either.
Beep beep!
Ju Peijun drove the car and slowly stopped in front of the three of them. He got out of the car, put Qin Shuang's suitcase in the trunk, and said to Su Jiaojiao with a smile: "Jiaojiao, get in the car. We'll take you to Qingyuan for a few days."
"I really want to go with you, but I can't get away." Su Jiaojiao took out two apples from her bag and gave them to Ju Peijun. "Go slowly on your way. I'll treat you to dinner when you come back."
"Okay, let's go back!" Ju Peijun took the apple and took a bite. "When we come back, we'll have dinner together."
"Don't worry, go ahead and do your thing." Chen Guilan walked to the front of the car and told Qin Shuang, "You have a weak stomach, so remember not to eat spicy food."
"Got it." Qin Shuang waved at the mother and daughter and said to Ju Peijun, "Let's go from the highway. It will save time."
At noon, a light rain began to fall.
It rained on and off all day long.
At night, the rain got heavier.
The important thing is that because of the rain, there was a problem with the circuit and the entire workshop was out of power.
There is a power outage and I can't work overtime.
The entire Jiali Garment Factory was in an uproar.
No need to work overtime, that’s great!
