Chapter 529: Marco's Victory
Chen Guilan prepared Su Jiaojiao's dowry completely according to the customs of Jiao County, sewing quilts and selecting suitcases, and was very busy every day.
Su Jiaojiao understood Chen Guilan's feelings and did not stop her. She let her be busy. If she was asked to do nothing, she would feel lost and idle.
After moving back to the old house, Mrs. Lu said she would not live there before the New Year. She gave the keys to the first floor to Su Jiaojiao and said that if any relatives from her hometown came, she could arrange for them to live on the first floor. Anyway, the house would belong to her and Lu Jingyou in the future.
Su Jiaojiao did not refuse and took the key calmly. She went downstairs to clean up every few days. The sewing machine that Old Mrs. Lu placed in the living room actually made it convenient for Chen Guilan. With the sewing machine, it became much easier for her to make quilts.
By November, there were no more classes at school and the students were busy looking for jobs and internships. Su Jiaojiao also devoted herself to her work and decided to go to work at the new factory every day.
Cai Ting was like seeing a savior when she saw Su Jiaojiao: "When Marco was here, I found him annoying. After he left, everything fell on me. It's great that you came at this time."
"I know you're tired these days, so I'll give you a week off so you can have a good rest." The reason why Su Jiaojiao could return to her hometown with peace of mind was all thanks to Cai Ting. Cai Ting really didn't rest for a single day.
"I'd better wait for Marco to come back so I can rest!" Cai Ting hadn't seen Su Jiaojiao for several days and missed her a lot. Besides, a week was not enough time to go back to her hometown, and she didn't want to go out and play alone.
Su Jiaojiao walked around the workshop, looking at the semi-finished products before sitting down in the finished product area. Together with Cai Ting, she used small scissors to cut off the thread ends. "Just tell me when you want to take a break. I don't have anything to do right now anyway."
Although workers on the production line also cut thread ends, they do not do it as cleanly.
The task of cutting thread ends falls on the quality inspector, who checks the quality while cutting thread ends.
When they have nothing to do, Cai Ting and Ji Hong also come over to cut the thread ends and check the quality.
"Why are you okay? Aren't you getting married soon?" Ji Hong came over with a glass of water, sat down to cut the thread, and said with a smile, "Getting married is a big deal. You'll have a lot to do."
"Then you don't have to be busy every day." Su Jiaojiao hadn't done this kind of work for a long time, and her hands were rusty. "There are still three months left, so there's no rush."
Her mother has been preparing it for her, so she doesn't have to worry about it.
As for the wedding dress, she would wait until Marco came back to decide. He said he would design the entire wedding dress for her, including the outfits for the bridesmaids and groomsmen.
Besides, she owns a clothing factory and can make any clothes she wants. Mainly, she doesn't want to prepare too many clothes, just enough to wear on the wedding day.
"Three months, it'll be up soon." Cai Ting couldn't believe Su Jiaojiao was getting married so soon, and asked her curiously, "Jingjiao, will you live with Mr. Lu and his family after you get married?"
Lakeside Villa is nice, but it's too far away.
Besides, the new factory has not moved yet, and there are still two shops in Wudaokou. It is not realistic for Su Jiaojiao to live there.
"Definitely not." Su Jiaojiao said without thinking, "I'll stay in Jinyuan like I do now. After we move to the Beijing Suburban Industrial Park, I'll move to the suburbs."
"That's right, living together brings a lot of conflicts." Ji Hong understood this very well. "I'm telling you, never live with your mother-in-law, especially if you have sisters-in-law. When I first got married, I lived with my mother-in-law and her family."
"My sister-in-law was lazy and did nothing, yet she asked me to wash her clothes. At that time, I was a new daughter-in-law and was too shy to refuse, so I washed her clothes every day. Later, it was natural for me to wash the clothes of the whole family."
"You just have a very good temper." Cai Ting was furious when she heard this. "If it were me, I would throw my clothes in her face. Who would wash her clothes?"
"Who says it's not true?" Ji Hong said angrily. "After all these years, I'm still upset about this incident. Whenever we have an argument, I scold my husband for not supporting me and for letting his family bully me. My husband calls me petty and says that after all these years, I'm still bringing up old issues."
"Old accounts are problems that haven't been properly resolved. They seem over in the eyes of others, but not to you, so you keep remembering them." Su Jiaojiao said calmly, "Everyone has a few old accounts in their hearts that they can't get over. Sometimes not mentioning them doesn't mean they're forgotten."
"That's right. That's why we women should treat ourselves better. Treating the mother-in-law as your own mother is all nonsense." Ji Hong became more and more excited as she spoke. "Your mother is your mother. She can't be replaced by just any woman."
The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law means that the mother-in-law comes first and the daughter-in-law comes later.
There must be a good mother-in-law before there can be a good daughter-in-law, so those mothers-in-law who blame their daughters-in-law for being bad should first examine whether they are good mothers-in-law.
"Yes, in this world, apart from your biological mother, there will be no other person who will unconditionally tolerate and treat you well." Su Jiaojiao understands this deeply. The reason why she is willing to get married so early in her life is largely because she has Chen Guilan by her side. As long as she can be with her mother, she will be satisfied.
A week later, Marco Bo brought good news from Guangzhou, saying that he won the second prize in the Guangzhou Fashion Competition and also got orders for a winter style and a spring style, namely the styles for the winter solstice and the vernal equinox.
The customer ordered 5,000 pieces of each model, for a total of 10,000 pieces, but he needs the goods urgently, as they need them by the end of the year.
Marco asked Su Jiaojiao if she could take the job. He repeatedly emphasized that this was a big client and if they could cooperate for a long time, there would definitely be orders.
There are still three months until the end of the year, and the new factory's production capacity is definitely not enough. Su Jiaojiao called Yu Baiqiang and asked, and Yu Baiqiang said it was okay, but he could not guarantee the output.
After much consideration, Su Jiaojiao asked Marco Bo to take the offer and told him to let Ding Linyu go to Yangcheng to find him tomorrow to help him sign the supply contract.
I finally got the second prize, I have to catch this wave of traffic.
Su Jiaojiao immediately found out the production process of the two styles, and she and Cai Ting hurriedly made samples. Fortunately, the embroidery of these two styles was done on a flat embroidery machine, so there was no need to buy additional equipment.
She kept the winter model and gave Yu Baiqiang the spring model. The spring model was simpler in design and easier to use.
Yu Baiqiang took a look at the sample garments and felt that the problem was not serious. "Although many people have left my place, I am also ready to recruit new workers. If it really doesn't work out, we can find a OEM."
"Yes, I'll ask Qi Mei right now. If President Kang agrees to take it, I'll give her all the winter collections, and we can both work on the spring collections." In front of Yu Baiqiang, Su Jiaojiao called Qi Mei.
When Mr. Kang heard that the order was for 5,000 winter models, with delivery by the end of the year, he immediately said, "Fax the production process to me right now. As long as the process isn't too complicated, we can deliver on time."
When Su Jiaojiao left, Yu Baiqiang personally sent her downstairs and asked her to send the fabrics and accessories over as soon as possible so that he could start production earlier.
"I'll send it to you as soon as possible." Su Jiaojiao agreed. As they were talking, they saw Lin Manli and Pei Lan walking out of the tea room.
