Chapter 88 Things About the Garment Factory
After returning from the Civil Affairs Bureau, Chen Guilan was a little depressed.
She often sits there alone in a daze, and no one knows what she is thinking about.
Su Jiaojiao knew her mother couldn't truly let go, so she asked her to go to the Jiali Garment Factory to help her keep an eye on the handbags. "Mom, I originally wanted to use those handbags to pack down jackets, but as you saw, some of them even came here specifically to buy them, saying they were sturdier than those sold outside. So I want to make a few more and sell them in the store. You go over there and keep an eye on them while I sell the goods."
There are many people and a lot of work in the garment factory.
She wanted to keep her mother busy so that she wouldn't think about these things.
"You'd better go!" Chen Guilan felt embarrassed to see people. Before her divorce, at least when others asked her, she could say that her husband worked in a garment factory. Now, she was afraid of being asked and she didn't know what to say.
"Mom, those leaders from the school across the street are here for me." Su Jiaojiao said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "You also said that when I was not around, they all asked me, so you should go!"
Chen Guilan and Qin Shuang are of similar age and are familiar with each other.
She felt that Chen Guilan needed the empathy and understanding of her peers more than her daughter's company.
"Okay, then I'll go to the garment factory." Chen Guilan thought so too, and decided not to argue with her daughter anymore, so she rode her bike to the Jiali Garment Factory.
As soon as she left, Su Jiaojiao went to the public phone booth at the door to call Qin Shuang and told her the news of her parents' divorce: "Aunt Qin, I asked my mother to go to the garment factory so that she could relax, not because I was worried about my batch of goods. Please give my mother some advice when you have time."
"Don't worry, leave it to me." Qin Shuang expressed his understanding and said to Su Jiaojiao, "The factory is busy lately, and your mother can help me out. It will take at least five days to finish your batch of handbags. How about this, let her stay in my dormitory so she doesn't have to run back and forth. Chinese New Year is only half a month away anyway, so she'll only be busy for a few days."
Qin Shuang lives in a single room in Jiali Garment Factory.
There is also a separate bathroom in very good condition.
"It depends on what my mother thinks. If she wants to stay, she can stay. If she doesn't want to stay, let her come back." Su Jiaojiao also hopes that Chen Guilan can stay at the Jiali Garment Factory for a few days. Firstly, she doesn't have to travel back and forth, and secondly, she can chat more with Qin Shuang and relax.
"Okay, I got it." Qin Shuang put down the phone quickly, went back to the dormitory to pack up, and then went to the garment factory gate to wait for Chen Guilan. Seeing Qin Shuang waiting for her at the gate, Chen Guilan felt very sorry, "Did I delay you from work?"
"You're still so polite to me!" Qin Shuang smiled and took her into the factory yard, letting her push the bicycle into the shed. "Your daughter called me a long time ago and asked you to stay and keep an eye on her batch of goods."
"I'm worried about her living alone in the snack street," Chen Guilan said as she parked her bike. "I have to go back after get off work."
"I really envy you two, mother and daughter, for caring for and taking care of each other." Qin Shuang took Chen Guilan's arm and walked into the workshop, and began to complain about Qin Xiuming again, "Unlike my son, who runs out all the time and can be missing for days."
Qin Xiuming's mind was no longer on her.
I have been staying at the China Travel Service these days, preparing to follow Lu Jingyou back to the capital.
"Boys and girls are different." Chen Guilan quietly took a look at Qin Shuang's dress. She had big wavy curls, a dress, a tweed coat, and high heels. She looked as Western as possible. Perhaps this kind of woman is what men like.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but think of Gao Meifeng.
Although Gao Meifeng is not as good as Qin Shuang, she is indeed better than her.
"Come on, I'll take you to the workshop." Qin Shuang led her upstairs with light steps. "From now on, you will work for your daughter. We don't make much money from her batch of goods, but the quality requirements are very high. Your little girl is a difficult customer."
"It's mainly because the customers are picky." Chen Guilan knew Qin Shuang was joking and said with a smile, "Originally, these handbags were given away for free to hold down jackets, but more and more people are buying them, saying they are sturdy and good-looking. Otherwise, there would be no need to make so many."
She had been selling goods at Wujiaohua Company for a few days and was familiar with these things.
Before, she thought that doing business was easier than farming, but now it seems that it is not the case. Doing business is still more difficult. If Su Jiaojiao had not rented a house in Wujiaohua, this batch of down jackets would definitely not sell as well as they do now.
Her daughter is quite talented in business.
"This is called an unexpected business opportunity." Qin Shuang led Chen Guilan to the sewing workshop. There were four assembly lines in the workshop. As soon as you entered the door, you could hear the buzzing sound of electric sewing machines. One of the assembly lines was making Su Jiaojiao's handbags, which were bright red and particularly eye-catching in the workshop.
Qin Shuang called the team leader of this assembly line and said that Chen Guilan was the customer of this batch of goods and came in person to supervise the quality, and asked them to be careful. The team leader was a little girl with a ponytail, about the same age as Su Jiaojiao. She agreed repeatedly and took a handbag to show Chen Guilan. Chen Guilan looked at it and put it down, not knowing what to say.
Qin Shuang took Chen Guilan back to the workshop office and explained to the workshop director: "Director Wang, this Ms. Chen is the customer of this batch of handbags. She is here to personally oversee the quality and production. You must be alert."
When Wang Fang heard it was a customer, she was very flattering: "Don't worry, Director Qin, our workshop has always put quality first. I guarantee there won't be any mistakes."
"I'm relieved to hear you say that." Qin Shuang had a good relationship with Wang Fang, so she had Su Jiaojiao's handbags made in her workshop. She took Chen Guilan to familiarize herself with the environment of the Jiali Garment Factory, and then took her to her office on the third floor of the office building opposite. She said with a smile, "I took you to the workshop just now to scare them. You only need to go there occasionally. You don't have to watch over them all day. The process for making those handbags is not complicated, and there won't be any mistakes. If you're there every day, they'll be nervous and won't be able to produce enough."
"Then what should I do?" Chen Guilan had no idea.
"Help me!" Qin Shuang pointed to a pile of delivery orders on the table. "These are all the items that need to be shipped today. The quantity, color, size, and style all need to be checked one by one. The loading truck will be here in two hours. We have to hurry to the packaging workshop to check the numbers."
As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man in a suit and tie walked in with a smile: "Director Qin, are you busy?"
"Yeah, if you're not busy at work, when will you be busy?" Qin Shuang glanced at him and said indifferently, "Chief Wu, don't forget to give me the information I need. I don't want to call you again for such a small matter. Your technical department is too slow in doing things."
"Okay, okay, I accept Director Qin's criticism. I'll get it for you right away." Wu Jie looked very easygoing and said humorously, "I wouldn't dare offend Director Qin if I offended anyone. Otherwise, my old man would scold me to death. He always asked me to learn from you."
As he spoke, he looked at Chen Guilan and asked, "Who is this?"
"This is my client. Do you have any questions?" Qin Shuang asked. Wu Jie smiled again. "Client, I'm so sorry for being so presumptuous. So, let's have lunch together at noon today. It's our way of welcoming the client."
"No need, I can take care of it myself." Qin Shuang took Chen Guilan's arm and walked out. A woman about the same age as Qin Shuang walked in. The woman had delicate features and no makeup on. She was wearing a dark blue work uniform from the Jiali Garment Factory. Qin Shuang greeted her with a smile, "Jia Jia, I'm just about to go to the packaging workshop. There's a batch of goods you need to check with me..."
Huang Jiajia didn't even look at Qin Shuang and started scolding Wu Jie: "Wu Jie, you are so busy in the workshop, but you are tripped up here. Are you sick?"
