Chapter 17 Going to the Black Market
Quickly moving the stool back to its original place, Chen Qing opened the pen cap and wrote on the paper as if nothing had happened, without even raising his head.
Director Liu came to her desk with his hands behind his back and asked, "How are the preparations going?"
"Everything you arranged is ready."
Although the steps are a bit cumbersome, it is not a big deal. With the previous examples, Chen Qing only needs to follow the steps.
Director Liu: “Are you sure?”
Chen Qing: "Sure."
Director Liu did not trust her ability to do things and sent someone to investigate.
Chen Qing: “…”
I don't know why he asked this question.
Director Liu stayed where he was and criticized her and Tian Mengya again: "Girls shouldn't focus on appearance. No matter how pretty they are, can they make a living? When doing things, you should have a sense of the overall situation and be ambitious! Women hold up half the sky, don't you know? Go and see Director Lin, the director of the Women's Affairs Bureau. She is a famous iron lady and a national model worker. She is so respectable. Anyone who sees her will stop and say hello! How majestic."
Other directors would like their subordinates to be competitive and stay in their original positions quietly, but Director Liu hopes that his subordinates will be motivated.
Otherwise it’s really hard to manage.
Because unless they break the law, the factory has no way of firing these people who are just waiting to die!
He has a large number of people under him who have no desire to make progress. As a director, he is like a big enemy, suffering a lot of humiliation every day.
Chen Qing and Tian Mengya listened with one ear and let it out with the other.
The team leader earns ten yuan more, but he does more than three times the work of the team members.
Whenever there is something to be criticized in the factory, the team leader will go to other leaders to be criticized. It is too tiring to go to work all day carrying a big blame.
They're not stupid.
After Director Liu finished speaking, he went to inspect other offices, encouraging everyone every day. It was magical that he always had the opposite effect.
Chen Qing looked out and saw that Lao Liu was cursing in the next room. He immediately asked Tian Mengya, "Are you interested? You can tell me what style you like and I can make it for you."
A custom-made model worth ten yuan would cost about a quarter of Tian Mengya's salary, and Tian Mengya was a little hesitant.
Chen Qing pursed her lips and said cruelly: "How about this, you tell me what type you like first, and I'll draw one for you."
For ten dollars, she can work first!
Debtors are so shameless.
As a salesperson, Chen Qing is very experienced in dealing with young girls like Tian Mengya.
First, she appears to be at a disadvantage, and the other party will soften their heart. Once she softens their heart, it will be easy to get the order. If the product is well made, the other party can become a long-term customer.
Sure enough, as soon as she said to draw a draft first, Tian Mengya's face became more hesitant.
Chen Qing encouraged with his eyes: "It's okay, tell me what type you like, and I'll draw it for you first."
Tian Mengya put her hands on her thighs, grasping the fabric of her pants nervously, and said, "I like beautiful skirts. Not too exaggerated, but still able to stand out in the crowd. Just a little special is fine."
"good."
It is impossible for people to wear short skirts nowadays. The length of the skirt is at most a little below the knee.
Then the style must be a long skirt.
Now it is 1970. Based on people's acceptance, making a set of Hong Kong-style clothes would be the most pleasing.
For the top, Chen Qing drew a polka dot short-sleeved shirt. The polka dots she designed were red, and there was a bow. The bottom was a red high-waisted long skirt.
She is tall and thin, but the 50:50 clothing design does not highlight her advantages at all. Chen Qing wants the clothes to show off her body advantages.
After Chen Qing finished drawing with a pencil, he handed the draft paper to her and said, "Here, can you see if there is anything you can modify?"
Those who were sitting at the workstation next to Chen Qing could see Chen Qing's movements clearly. The pencil in her hand seemed to have magical powers. It could draw beautiful lines along with her movements. With just a few strokes, the line drawing appeared clearly on the paper.
Such a beautiful line drawing that Tian Mengya felt like it was a painting.
The woman in the picture is elegant and beautiful.
Just looking at the drawings is enough to make you fall in love with it.
Chen Qing pushed the draft to her and explained the colors: "Do you think it's okay? If you don't like it, I can revise it."
Chen Qing, who had revised the manuscript at least ten times, had become accustomed to the client's difficulties and was also prepared for Tian Mengya's nitpicking.
Tian Mengya came back to her senses: "Did you design it for me?"
"Yes, I won't make a second custom-made pair unless they specifically make a copy."
This is a necessary rule for custom-made items. Otherwise, it would be very uncomfortable for people to spend such a large amount of money and only see the same items everywhere.
But a custom-made piece of clothing only costs ten dollars.
One of a kind!
Seeing that she was interested, Chen Qing added fuel to the fire: "We have been colleagues for so many years and are good friends. I will also give you a discount for the first order. From now on, I will charge at least 20 yuan for each custom order."
"Then I want it!"
"Okay."
Chen Qing smiled brightly.
Her eyes are magical, like a fox, with narrow corners. When she is not smiling, she looks very aggressive. When she smiles, her eyebrows and eyes are curved, and she is so sweet.
Tian Mengya understood why she was still the undisputed factory beauty even though there were many employees from the art troupe in the machinery factory.
So beautiful.
It makes people feel the magic of the Creator.
And that He Yuan...
Originally, she mocked Chen Qing for not being worthy of him, but now, she sees that He Yuan, who seduced Chen Qing like a disaster, is not a good guy either!
"I'll give you the fabric tomorrow."
"And the size. I'll probably have to wait a week for your dress to be ready because I have quite a few orders right now."
"good."
It is normal to wait for a week or half a month to make clothes.
Chen Qing received an order after working for one day.
A big order of ten dollars!
She happily ran straight to the state-owned hotel!
Rourou, here she comes!
When she arrived at the state-owned restaurant, the waiter leaned over and asked lazily, "Meat ticket?"
"Hermitage..."
Chen Qing's mind was stuck for a moment.
As an employee of the factory committee and a family member of a martyr, the original owner received extra subsidies and two meat tickets a month, but it seemed that she had used them all!
The original owner could eat it often and bought it from Yang Xiujin.
She and Yang Xiujin are now breaking up.
What can I eat?
She smiled awkwardly: "Well, I didn't bring my ticket. I'll come back next time."
"Then leave immediately."
"……good."
Being a waiter in a state-owned restaurant is an absolutely high-quality, stable job.
Can't afford to offend Chen Qing.
And the state-owned restaurant is her favorite place at the moment.
The chef at the machinery factory is a real chef!
Proficient in Cantonese and Hunan cuisine, every dish makes Chen Qing, a man whose takeout order never exceeds twenty dollars, amazed.
Food is something that the more you think about it, the more you crave it, especially when you have decided to eat it but you haven't been able to eat it. Your appetite will stimulate huge potential.
For this reason, Chen Qing went to the black market!
