The next morning, Yao Tongjia met Huang Yao's man, a man with an upright posture who was able to move freely while controlling his wheelchair.
Yao Tongjia looked at the wheelchair. From the outside, it looked rusty, but in Yao Tongjia's opinion, it was not simple.
The ground wasn't concrete or tile; it wasn't flat at all, and some parts were even bumpy and uneven. Yet, this wheelchair could easily turn around with a person inside.
Even in later generations, such a wheelchair would be quite expensive, but the man's clothes were faded from washing, and judging from Huang Yao's attire, they were not from a wealthy family.
Where did this wheelchair come from? Of course, Yao Tongjia just glanced at it a couple more times: "Have your husband come and cut out clothes for me according to this pattern!"
A Yong took the blueprint and looked at it with great concentration. Soon he picked up his scissors and started working. Yao Tongjia was surprised. This person did not draw the outline with chalk like her mother did.
Is this really going to work? Ah Yong was incredibly fast, and soon he had cut out a garment. Considering Ah Yong's mobility issues, Yao Tongjia called in a female worker.
The female worker was also very skilled, quickly sewing the clothes together. After receiving the sample garment, Yao Tongjia couldn't help but admire her: "Huang Yao, you should have introduced her earlier. Her craftsmanship is truly amazing!"
Huang Yao looked proudly at her husband: "I'm also a little hesitant. Can he stay?"
Yao Tongjia nodded readily: "Okay, that's settled. Go and help him with the paperwork now, and he'll be paid 45 yuan a month as a regular worker!"
Huang Yao's eyes lit up even more: "Really? Factory manager, we don't need to test it out anymore?"
"No need, no need, look at his skills, they're top-notch!" If only he had good legs and feet, he wouldn't need to have someone else sew for him.
A Yong was also very excited. He hadn't sewn clothes for many years and thought he would be rusty, but some skills were ingrained in his mind: "Thank you, factory manager. Next time, you don't need to call someone to sew it up. I can sew it up myself!"
"You can sew too?" Yao Tongjia glanced at A Yong's feet unconsciously, but A Yong was clearly used to it: "I can sew by hand! I'm very fast!"
Yao Tongjia took out another pattern: "You cut this out and sew it yourself!"
Just then, Wu Xinyue arrived, and the two of them witnessed A Yong's amazing skills. Not only was he fast at cutting, but he was also very fast at sewing, with a speed comparable to that of others using a sewing machine!
Yao Tongjia was really surprised. She took the sewn clothes and looked at them. The lines were very dense and straight, without any crookedness.
Wu Xinyue took the clothes and looked at them: "Do you know Master A-Su?"
A Yong's hand visibly trembled before he shook his head: "I don't know him!"
"Master A-Su doesn't need to draw any extra lines when cutting clothes. Many people come to see his amazing skills, but then they all end up having their clothes made by him and then they stay there and don't want to leave!"
"You two have the same amazing skill. Your name is A Yong, and his name is A Su. Yong Su, Yong Su, you must be brothers, right? He's very famous in Hong Kong!"
"Others who want to have a garment made by him have to wait in line!"
A Yong remained completely unaffected: "I really don't know him!"
Yao Tongjia tugged at Wu Xinyue: "I've seen your abilities. From now on, you'll be my sample garment maker. You're starting work today. Huang Yao, take care of yourself and don't overwork yourself!"
As she spoke, Yao Tongjia pulled Wu Xinyue back to the office. Wu Xinyue asked curiously, "Why didn't you let me speak just now?"
"What's there to say? They're either enemies or relatives. We're a bit sensitive about this, so just pretend you don't know anything!"
"Master A-Su is really amazing. I thought we'd struck gold, but you wouldn't even let me find some evidence!"
"What's that Ah Su's strongest skill? What evidence are you looking for?"
"Of course, the proof is that he can make underwear!"
"Making lingerie? What do you mean?"
"Ah Su's greatest skill isn't tailoring clothes; his specialty is making underwear that fits perfectly. Many celebrities have their underwear custom-made by him!"
Yao Tongjia's heart skipped a beat: "You mean bras?"
Wu Xinyue had given Yao Tongjia several pieces of underwear before, and now Yao Tongjia wears bras like those from later generations, otherwise she is afraid that her breasts have already sagged!
"Hmm, I suspect that A Yong can also do it. Almost no one makes bras, it's a huge market!"
Yao Tongjia's heart skipped a beat. This really was a huge market. She had only wanted to hire a sample garment maker, but had she ended up hiring an underwear master?
Yao Tongjia shook her head: "Let him be the sample garment maker first, and then we'll talk to his wife. Anyway, he's already in our hands, he's not going to run away!"
"I can see he's quite reluctant to talk about A-Su, so you don't need to mention it next time. Wait until he's less wary of us before bringing it up!"
With A Yong as the sample maker, the efficiency of making clothes has increased significantly. Seeing that there was nothing for her to do, Yao Tongjia went home on her own.
When Yao Tongjia returned home, she was surprised to see Xiao Gengwu and two others. Curious, she asked, "Where have you three been?" Xiao Gengwu came over and took Yao Tongjia's hand, saying, "You came back from the garment factory?"
He Jiale clearly knew about the garment factory: "Factory manager, we're graduating soon, can I work for you?"
Yao Tongjia nodded: "You can come work as a porter in our factory!"
He Jiale seemed very interested: "Really? Then Ah Xu and I will go!"
Yao Tongjia saw that He Jiale didn't seem to be joking: "Where are you going? Aren't you working upstairs?"
You should know that the fourth floor upstairs is now crammed with all sorts of things. Fortunately, when Xiao Geng built his house, he connected the fourth floors of the two buildings together.
Otherwise, there would be nowhere to put their things. I heard He Jiayin say before that the three of them were continuing their research upstairs: "Why did you suddenly say you wanted to find another job? Is there some trouble?"
"Brother Xiao is too outstanding. As his partners, someone has taken a liking to us and wants us to go to the secret research institute. It will be difficult for you to see us in the future!"
Yao Tongjia looked at Xiao Gengwu, who shook his head: "I will not agree to go. No matter what means they use, I will not compromise!"
Yao Tongjia nodded: "Jiale, you should talk to your sister first and see what kind of background the research institute wants you to go to is. That way you can know yourself and your enemy and win every battle."
He Jiale originally didn't want to cause trouble for his sister, but now he feels it would be good to talk to her and investigate that research institute.
Most research institutes don't start by talking about money, but this one is throwing money around right away—it feels like bandits! This won't do; we need to investigate!
