Seeing Shen Qingyun's wife's face flushed, Cheng Maixiang hurriedly said, "What this aunt said is true, but none of us were born from cracks in the rocks. Everyone has relatives and friends. If they come to you for help, it would be unreasonable to ignore them. People without human feelings will definitely not be able to survive in our countryside.
The method I devised is to eliminate the problem of people who cannot refuse favors. In this way, you aunts and sisters don't have to push us, and no one will come to you. We won't offend anyone and can still recruit suitable people for the garment factory.
However, I'm not blindly indifferent to social etiquette. If any of my relatives or friends have a talent for sewing clothes but haven't learned it because their families are poor, you aunties can teach them first. We'll be recruiting a few apprentices in a few days, and we'll give them priority then. What do you think?"
The female workers in the garment workshop cheered, and Shen Qingyun's wife looked at Cheng Maixiang gratefully and nodded.
"Ding ding ding ding", Cheng's mother picked up a gong and struck it a few times, and the garment workshop instantly became quiet.
Cheng Maixiang said loudly to the villagers, "Fellow villagers, thank you for coming to watch the garment factory recruitment exam. However, in order to allow the applicants to perform normally, please refrain from making loud noises during the exam."
At this time, the audience seats in the garment workshop were already full of people. Those who came later could not enter the garment workshop, so they squeezed at the windows outside the house to join in the fun.
Cheng Maixiang's words really worked, and everyone stopped making noise, but they couldn't help but whisper to each other with people they knew.
The recruitment finally began. The first group of applicants walked in from outside the garment workshop, sat down one by one according to the number plates on the sewing machines, picked up the fabrics on the sewing machines, and started to work.
All the female workers in the garment workshop held their breath and walked back and forth in front of the nine applicants, carefully observing each person's gestures and proficiency.
The villagers watching in the garment workshop stopped talking and watched curiously, watching how the applicants made clothes and how the female workers in the garment workshop voted.
Such an atmosphere is undoubtedly extremely stressful for applicants. Many people's foreheads began to sweat, and some even had their hands shaking. However, some completely ignored the people present and continued doing their own things as if no one was around.
This is also one of the reasons why Cheng Maixiang set up the examination mode. The garment factory may face countless difficulties in the future, which will cause certain psychological pressure on employees. If someone has strong professional ability and strong ability to withstand pressure, then she will focus on training him after she establishes the company.
Soon the exams for the four groups were over, and the applicants temporarily left the garment workshop. The female workers in the workshop took the small baskets representing each person and counted the beans inside one by one.
Cheng's mother and Shen Qingyun's wife wrote down the number of soybeans each person received according to the roster, and finally determined the fifteen admitted people in order from most to least.
Cheng Maixiang checked the admission list with the female workers in the garment workshop again to make sure that no one had any objection, and then posted it outside the garment workshop that day.
This open recruitment successfully silenced most people in Shuangshui Village because of its transparent process and fair assessment. Even if some people were dissatisfied, they would not say anything more because they thought that as the garment workshop expanded, they would earn more and more money, and the village would get more money in the future.
