After a pause, seeing that no one spoke, Lin Qing continued, "Here's what we'll do! Everyone's here for the competition and has made clothes. Regardless of whether you're selected today, everyone will receive one yuan as a service fee. Those who don't want to work the night shift can come over here, collect their money, and leave."
After Lin Qing finished speaking, the courtyard was completely silent. After a while, a few people came to Lin Qing one after another to collect their money and leave.
Lin Qing waited a while longer, and seeing that no one was leaving, she said, "Since no one is leaving, I'll assume that the rest of you are willing to work the night shift."
The people in the courtyard remained silent.
Seeing this, Lin Qing smiled and continued, "Besides the three hairdressers who originally signed up, there are 41 people left. The bottom three of these 41 people, based on our previous competition rankings, will also be hairdressers!"
After Lin Qing finished speaking, she looked at the three people and asked, "You three, you have no objections, right?"
Upon seeing this, the three shook their heads repeatedly, "No, no objection!"
Lin Qing nodded. "Okay, then the six of you will split into two shifts, with three people working the day shift and three people working the night shift."
After Lin Qing finished speaking, she assigned the six of them to different shifts.
“You have 38 people left, 19 for day shifts and 19 for night shifts. The people whose names I call next will work the day shifts, and the rest will work the night shifts.”
Then Lin Qing divided the remaining 38 people into classes.
"Um, I wanted to ask, do we night shift workers work the night shift all the time?"
After the shifts were assigned, a girl working the night shift asked in a low voice.
"No, it's a monthly rotation. After one month, those of you who work the day shift will be transferred to the night shift, and those who work the night shift will be transferred to the day shift."
Lin Qing explained with a smile.
"Next, I'll tell you about the work schedule. The earliest you can start working is in a week. Our fabric hasn't arrived yet. We'll call you when it does, so please be ready to answer the phone when you get home!"
Seeing that Lin Qing was alright, Wang Shufen smiled and stepped forward to say something.
Upon hearing that they couldn't go to work immediately, everyone couldn't help but show a hint of disappointment, but then they couldn't help but look forward to it again.
"Alright, if there's nothing else, you can all leave now!"
Upon hearing this, everyone greeted Lin Qing and Wang Sufeng and then left the courtyard.
"Finally finished!"
After everyone left, Lin Qing slumped down on the stone bench in the courtyard.
"Yeah, it's finally over. I didn't expect recruiting to be so tiring."
Wang Sufeng sat down next to her and said with a smile.
"If I had known we would need this many people in the end, I wouldn't have gone through all that trouble!"
Lin Qing rubbed her lower back and said with a smile that she hadn't expected things to turn out this way.
"Hehe... what should we do with all these clothes?"
Wang Sufeng glanced at her sister-in-law, then at herself, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Second sister-in-law, take it out and sell it!"
Lin Qing said with a smile.
"Hmm, that works out. How much do you want for it?"
Wang Sufeng glanced at the pile of clothes and asked.
"Second sister-in-law, you can decide for yourself. It should be cheaper than the department store price. Anyway, the cost price of these clothes is only a few dollars. As long as you don't lose money, it's fine."
Lin Qing said indifferently.
"Okay, I understand. Now that we've doubled the number of people, is the fabric we ordered a bit too little? Do we need to order more?"
Wang Sufeng thought for a moment, then asked again.
"Not for now. We originally ordered a month's worth, but now that we have more people, it should last for about half a month. Let's see how the goods are when they arrive and then decide!"
Wang Sufeng nodded upon hearing this.
The two chatted about some other details before leaving the courtyard house.
While waiting for the fabric, Wang Sufeng sold her own clothes and processed the batch of work clothes. At the same time, she also made patterns for the clothes designed by Lin Qing.
Lin Qing also had Gu Bei redo the lighting in the two processing areas of the courtyard.
Soon, a week later, their first batch of fabric arrived.
On the day the goods arrived, Wang Sufeng called each worker to inform them of their work schedule. For those who didn't have her contact information, she personally went to their homes to notify them.
Apart from the workers who would be working the day shift the next day, Wang Sufeng had the three cutting workers who would be working the night shift start cutting that very night.
After three cutting workers worked through the night, the cutting room was now piled with more than 70 cut sample garments.
On her first day of work, Wang Sufeng looked at everyone with a big smile after taking attendance.
"Today we're making down jackets. The price is 4 yuan each. You can start sewing first, and I'll teach you how to fill the jackets with down in a bit."
"Now everyone go to the cutting room to collect the cut fabric."
After the tasks were assigned, everyone quickly began their work.
Wang Sufeng's job today is to teach everyone how to fill down jackets with down.
Lin Qing taught her how to fill the down jacket with down within the past week.
Zhang Dahua was overjoyed today. She never expected to be paid 4 yuan for making a garment. Although she had never made a down jacket before, she learned how, and the only slightly troublesome part was filling the jacket with down. As she became more skilled, her speed gradually increased. After a day of hard work, she made three down jackets, and her daughter made two as well.
So, she can earn 12 yuan today, and her daughter can earn 8 yuan. That adds up to 360 yuan and 240 yuan a month, which makes Zhang Dahua gasp and feel a little uneasy.
Zhang Dahua was not alone in her anxiety; by the end of the day, everyone had made at least two pieces of clothing.
"Hey young lady, how do we collect this money?"
After get off work, everyone lingered in the courtyard, reluctant to leave. Finally, one of the women couldn't help but ask Wang Sufeng a question.
“I know what everyone is worried about. Originally, the wages were settled monthly, but now we will not settle them monthly. We will settle the wages for the down jackets when the down jackets are finished and we start making the next style of clothing.”
Wang Sufeng explained to everyone with a smile.
Although the women were still a little worried, they dared not say anything more. They were also worried that if they said too much, they would displease the other party, and if the other party didn't want them anymore, they would suffer a great loss. Therefore, they looked at each other and left without saying anything in the end.
Wang Sufeng smiled as she watched the group leave. She thought they would say something more, but they left without saying a word.
