Chapter 712 Selection of the Sewing Workshop Director
Du Wangqin and Chen Qing had only met a few times, and now that they were in close proximity, he didn't dare to look at her for long, only glancing at her briefly before lowering his head.
Standing in front of the crowd, Chen Qing felt a sense of pride upon seeing the number of candidates and the male-to-female ratio of 4:6.
Then, she began reading the rules: "In this assessment, technical skills only account for 40 points, while management and mindset account for 70 points. For the first round, let's see how familiar you are with the factory rules."
Secretary Zhang distributed the exam papers and stood to one side to supervise the exam.
Chen Qing pondered the logo on her sneakers!
The logo of a sports brand must be simple and easy for people to remember. For example, the first sports brand Chen Qing ever knew was this one because it was so easy to remember.
Despite numerous revisions, Chen Qingtu failed to design a simple, elegant, memorable icon that also aligns with the brand's core values.
But their exams were already over.
Chen Qing is grading exam papers.
First place: Zhao Xuemei.
Second place: Du Wangqin.
...
Du Wangqin narrowed his eyes dangerously, staring at Zhao Xuemei with ill intent.
Zhao Xuemei, a woman in her thirties, felt a tightness in her chest when faced with Du Wangqin's blatant threat, but she did not give up her determination to perform well!
Chen Qing: "Let's go, let's go to the workshop."
She led several candidates to a production line that had been temporarily shut down.
"This production line will be switching to produce new sportswear the day after tomorrow. You have one hour to lead your respective teams to complete all the preparations, including debugging the machines, assigning processes, and interpreting the process sheets."
Du Wangqin was the fastest to act, shouting loudly and taking on the most complex debugging work all by himself. The team members watched helplessly or did odd jobs like handing over wrenches.
Zhao Xuemei quickly wrote the key points of the process sheet on the blackboard with chalk, and then assigned tasks according to the team members' strengths: "Master Zhang has steady hands, adjust the presser foot, and Xiao Wang has good eyesight, so he is responsible for checking the sample."
She herself moved between various locations, solving key problems.
They quickly became a team.
The other candidates also have different focuses.
Some, like Du Wangqin, seize every opportunity to showcase their skills in front of their superiors.
Some, like Zhao Xuemei, choose efficiency.
After they finished, Chen Qing didn't announce the winner. Instead, he said, "A batch of slightly flawed fabric has arrived at the workshop. The factory has decided to dispose of this batch of fabric internally. Each of you should come up with a plan that can minimize losses while still generating value. Tell me in an hour."
She hid in a corner and continued chewing on her pen.
It's too difficult.
I drew it myself, and then I rejected it.
Chen Qing felt like his brain was being completely drained.
The employees who are currently undergoing assessments also find it difficult; the challenge lies in achieving breakthroughs and innovations.
Du Wangqin was extremely anxious.
He felt that if he could be a good director at the Summer Sports Apparel Factory, he could be a good factory manager anywhere else!
No wonder Director Wang was willing to step down and give way to a more capable person.
She's really too old to handle this pressure!
Du Wangqin was so anxious he was about to explode. Seeing that Zhao Xuemei had run away, he quickly followed her.
Zhao Xuemei inquired about the exact amount of defective fabric from the logistics department director, then touched the fabric to assess its condition and began calculating how much fabric would be needed to make what she wanted to produce.
Du Wangqin watched her bustling about, wondering what kind of mess she was making, and scratched his head, trying to figure it out.
He wanted to ask Director Wang, but when they left the scene, security personnel followed them, preventing him from directly asking Director Wang for advice.
An hour passed quickly during the candidates' anxious time.
Du Wangqin said, "Take them apart and make them into rags, or sell them to the employees at a low price."
Chen Qing nodded.
A standard but unoriginal answer.
Zhao Mei was a little apprehensive: "Factory director, I think the 'waste materials' are just resources in the wrong place. We can use these materials to make a set of uniform tool kits for each work group to improve the workshop's image. The extras can be given to families with children as employee benefits, or... if we want to open a 'March 8th Red Banner' nursery in the future, these school bags and stationery bags can come in handy."
Chen Qing raised an eyebrow.
Today was the first time she met Zhao Mei.
I never expected her to be such a strong-willed and quick-thinking woman.
"Comrade Zhao, your idea is very good."
Zhao Xuemei excitedly tiptoed slightly, then, realizing the charming way this movement looked, quickly stood still.
She is thirty-five, not fifteen.
Back when she was fifteen, she wasn't so nervous when she met a guy she liked. She took it all for granted when he confessed to her. Now, when the factory manager praised her, she was overjoyed, feeling like fireworks were exploding in her head.
Chen Qing: "The results will be announced tomorrow. You guys go ahead and get busy."
Seeing the factory manager's admiring look towards Zhao Xuemei, everyone understood what was going on.
Those who participated in the selection recognized Zhao Xuemei's abilities, and they were convinced of her talent.
Du Wangqin privately cornered Zhao Xuemei and asked, "Are you sure you want to be the director of this sewing workshop?"
"Shouldn't all of this be decided according to the factory director's wishes? Deputy Director Du, the Summer Sports Apparel Factory is not up to you to make decisions!"
Zhao Xuemei strode forward and bumped her shoulder hard into Du Wangqin.
Du Wangqin was so angry that he cursed.
Damn woman!
In any other factory, this position of director would have been a sure thing for him, but here he's being treated like dirt by women!
"Damn it!!"
Du Wangqin swore.
But a regional leader can make many decisions.
Most of the leaders at the Summer Sports Apparel Factory are women, and the factory director is young and bold; her children all take her surname.
The most powerful leader that people have come into contact with is a woman. After discovering that she lives a carefree and unrestrained life, many people will follow in her footsteps.
In the summer sportswear factory, it's no longer fashionable to choose the factory's most beautiful woman; everyone has started judging who is the fastest worker and the most competitive!
Only a woman like this is a true woman!
In this trend, everyone aspires to become a powerful lesbian.
Zhao Xuemei was one of them.
If you asked her to compete for a director position in her original garment factory, and to talk back to the boss, she definitely wouldn't dare.
But she's currently working at the Summer Sports Apparel Factory. Even if she loses the competition, she'll just be laughed at a few times. She doesn't need to worry about the leaders choosing someone who got in through connections.
She firmly believed that as long as she had real skills, the factory manager would take notice of her!
As it turned out, Chen Qing did not disappoint her. The factory committee posted a notice: Comrade Zhao Xuemei has become the new director of the sewing workshop.
When Lei Songyue announced the results, she casually reminded everyone: "Our Shengxia Sports Apparel Factory relies on real skills. As for underhanded tricks and such, that's fine as bragging in private."
Her words were clearly a slap in the face to Du Wangqin.
Du Wangqin looked embarrassed and returned to his post with a gloomy face.
Lei Songyue glanced at Du Wangqin and went to report to the factory director: "I have changed Comrade Zhao Xuemei's information. She will be the director of our sewing workshop from now on, but the deputy director is not satisfied."
