Chapter 61

After Song Shu and the other two finished their breakfast, they tidied themselves up and took a car to the Foreign Trade Department.

It was exactly ten o'clock when they arrived at the location. As soon as Song Shu and the others got off the car, they noticed a gentle-looking man wearing glasses walking towards them. "Mr. Chen, you guys are here?"

After saying that, he turned around and looked at Song Shu, then extended his hand and said politely, "This must be Mrs. Chen, hello. I am Secretary Li, Director Wu's secretary."

Song Shu shook his hand back, "Hello, Secretary Li, you're too polite. My last name is Song, Song Shu."

Secretary Li adjusted his glasses and said, "Ms. Song, let's go in."

Song Shu and the other two followed Secretary Li into an office, and Secretary Li handed her the prepared contract.

Song Shu took it and looked through it carefully. The contract clearly stipulated the land area of ​​the clothing factory, the machines to be sold, etc. Song Shu read it carefully and found no problems. Chen Zonghao beside her also took it and helped to look through it.

After reading it, Song Shu found that there was no problem. She looked up at Secretary Li and said, "Then I will sign the contract. Happy cooperation."

"It's a pleasure to work with you, Ms. Song. We at Shenzhen Stock Exchange appreciate Miss Song's investment." Secretary Li said sincerely.

"You're welcome." Song Shu lowered her head and signed the contract.

After signing, Secretary Li took it and stamped it. After that, he handed some documents such as the land certificate to Song Shu, "All the documents of the clothing factory are here, Ms. Song can check them."

Song Shu took it. Although the documents were not very heavy, she felt they were heavy in her hands. This was the first clothing factory that completely belonged to her. She felt a little excited. She took a breath, suppressed her excitement and looked through them one by one.

At this time, there was a knock on the door and a middle-aged man walked in. He looked around the room and his eyes fell on Song Shu for a few seconds. He smiled and said to Chen Zonghao: "Mr. Chen, this is your wife, Mrs. Chen?"

Chen Zonghao stood up, nodded and said politely, "Director Wu."

Song Shu also stood up after hearing what he said, knowing that the person who came should be the deputy director of the Foreign Trade Department, "Hello, Director Wu, this is my wife Song Shu."

Director Wu looked at Song Shu kindly, "Hello, Ms. Song, it is an honor for us in Shenzhen that you can invest and build a factory in our Shenzhen Stock Exchange. If you have any questions, you can come to me and we will definitely handle it for Ms. Song."

Song Shu replied calmly, "Director Wu, you are too polite. It is my honor to be able to invest and build a factory in my hometown."

Director Wu's eyebrows moved when he heard this, "Oh, Ms. Song is from Shenzhen?"

Song Shu nodded without changing her expression. "I guess so. It's just a small farm under Shenzhen City."

Director Wu nodded after hearing this. Seeing that she didn't want to discuss the details, he didn't ask again. He sighed and said, "The flood really washed away the Dragon King Temple."

Seeing how graceful and elegant she was, Director Wu nodded secretly in his heart. Originally, he came here just to get to know what kind of person Mr. Chen's wife was, and why she would let Mr. Chen go out for a meal and still remember to bring food back for her. Now that he had met her, he found that Ms. Song was not only good-looking but also well-spoken. No wonder Mr. Chen was concerned about her.

After Song Shu signed the contract, she talked to Director Wu for a few more words and then left. After she walked out of the Foreign Trade Office, she packed her things with a frown on her face, turned around and looked at Chen Zonghao and Jiahui and said, "Let's go. I'll treat you to a big meal today."

Jiahui was the first to applaud and said, "Okay, let's have a big meal. Thank you, sister."

Chen Zonghao also looked up at her and said, "I'll follow your instructions."

Finally, Song Shu found a hotel that looked well-decorated and went in to have lunch. Fortunately, this hotel was well-decorated and the food was delicious. It was unlike some restaurants in later generations, which had beautifully decorated shells but the food was not tasty at all.

While eating lunch, Song Shu thought of something and looked up at Chen Zonghao: "Is there a large recruitment market nearby?"

Chen Zonghao nodded, "Yes, there used to be a large recruitment market in Huaqiangnan, and I also held factory recruitment there before."

At that time, the Shenzhen Stock Exchange was undergoing reform and opening up, and the economic market was booming. People from all over the world rushed into the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in search of opportunities to make money, thus spontaneously forming a large recruitment market.

At first, bosses of all sizes who needed to find workers and people who needed to find jobs came to Huaqiang South in Shenzhen to promote their products to each other and communicate. Gradually, this place attracted more people who needed to find jobs and exchanged information with each other.

Finally, the government organized and established a Shenzhen Talent Service Center here, and then private recruitment companies of all sizes emerged one after another. Talent recruitment here has become more and more prosperous. You can always recruit workers that satisfy you in Huaqiangnan.

Song Shu nodded and said, "Okay, let's go over and take a look after lunch."

Chen Zonghao had no objection and nodded, "Okay."

＊

In the afternoon, the job market was crowded, and Song Shu heard all kinds of noisy sounds as soon as she got off the car.

"The construction site is hiring. The salary is 100 yuan a day, including food and accommodation. Those who are physically strong will be given priority."

"We're hiring typists. One thousand yuan a month, food included. Come and take a look."

"Brother, look at my height and strength, can I really make 100 yuan a day at the construction site?"

"Beauty, are there any educational requirements for being a typist? Is it okay to have graduated from elementary school?"

…

The mixed voices of various recruitments and job seekers create a bustling scene here.

Because there were so many people and the place was full of mixed people, Chen Zonghao picked up Jiahui before he came in, and then held Song Shu with one hand. Seeing that he was not very mobile, Song Shu put her arm around his and walked close to him, looking up at him: "It's easier to walk this way."

Chen Zonghao lowered his head and leaned against his arm, his Adam's apple moving and his voice deep, "Hmm."

Leading her inside, "There are several recruitment companies in front, you can go and take a look."

Song Shu planned to recruit a factory director, a deputy factory director, and several personnel department staff first. After all, once these three were recruited, the work in the factory would be easier to carry out, and they could carry out the recruitment of other employees. After all, it was impossible for Song Shu to monitor the recruitment of employees one by one.

"Okay, let's go take a look." Song Shu said and walked with him towards the recruitment companies.

＊

The recruitment company must have some skills to be able to run a business. After Song Shu stated the conditions, they provided a lot of information.

It is not as convenient as modern recruitment where you can contact directly online. Recruitment companies only provide collected paper information.

Song Shu looked at several companies one by one. When she saw a document from one of the companies, she paused.

The employee who handed her the document noticed her actions and saw that her eyes were fixed on the document with a somewhat uneasy look on her face.

The information was added by an employee. It was a recruitment document for a woman in her thirties. It stated that she had experience running a small clothing factory. If that was the case, then the information would have been completely acceptable for selection. However, it was also marked that this woman had just given birth and was taking care of a baby who was not even one year old. Her job would have required her to work with the child.

The female employee had no intention of adding that information at first, but she was impressed by this woman. She had noticed her three months ago when she was looking for a job with a baby on her back in the middle of summer. However, other bosses would never consider her when they saw her looking for a job with a baby.

The woman also submitted her resume to several recruitment companies. She had been educated up to junior high school, which was considered high in that era. She had also run a factory and had management experience. With her work ability, she was able to find a good job. However, the bad thing was that she had a baby, and this reason alone prevented other factories from considering her at all.

After all, no one wants to hire an employee who has to deal with the inconvenience of taking care of a child because no one knows what may happen.

Moreover, this woman was very persistent. She came to apply for jobs every day and sometimes even treated the employees to drinks.

Once, when the employee encountered a hooligan after get off work, it was the woman who helped her chase him away. After a few encounters, the female employee became familiar with the woman and learned some things about the woman.

The woman had previously opened the clothing factory with her husband. Later, when she became pregnant, the factory was gradually taken over by her husband. After more than a year, the woman gave birth to a girl, and her husband's family asked her to leave the house on the grounds that she could not give birth to a son.

The woman disagreed, and was beaten by her husband's family before she even finished her confinement. There was no one to help her take care of the child, and her only relative at home was her remarried mother. Perhaps because she had no one to support her in her natal family, her husband's family bullied her even more severely.

In the end, the woman gritted her teeth, took some money, and left with her daughter. The clothing factory was able to open because of the woman's management. As for the time when she was pregnant for a year, the clothing factory still operated because the woman did not give up her job even though she was pregnant, and she always guided her husband.

This made her husband arrogant and think he could run the clothing factory without her. In the end, after the woman left, the clothing factory went bankrupt within three months.

When the woman found out, she felt happy but also a little regretful. After all, it took her a lot of effort to open that clothing factory.

When the female employee learned about her story, she was very impressed and often looked for jobs for her. However, after several months, no one was willing to hire her and she was a little frustrated. However, the woman herself encouraged her that she would always have a chance.

Today the female employee took out her resume again and handed it to Song Shu. She felt uneasy when she saw Song Shu looking at the resume. She was afraid that the resume would be thrown aside like the previous dozen times.

However, to the female employee's surprise, the recruiter did not discard that resume, but handed it to her along with several other resumes and said, "Please contact the person listed here and ask them to come to this clothing factory for an interview tomorrow at nine o'clock."

The female employee took the resume she had selected, her hands trembling a little, and said hurriedly, "Okay, Ms. Song, our company will help you get in touch with the right person."

Song Shu nodded, "Then thank you for your help." She screened more than a dozen applications from several companies and planned to have an interview at the clothing factory tomorrow.

"No trouble, not at all." After she left, the female employee notified the contact numbers left on the documents one by one.

＊

The woman's resume only had her address. As soon as she got off work, she was so excited that she was the first to run out of the company. Other employees saw her and wondered, "Why did she run so fast after get off work today? Usually, she is the last one to leave."

Others shook their heads, "I don't know."

After the female employee took the bus to her destination, she got off the bus and ran into the alley. The rooms here were built by nearby residents and rented out to workers. Because they are cheap, many workers from other places who come to Shenzhen settle down here.

This place already had the prototype of a later urban village, so there were all kinds of people here.

The female employee walked all the way inside, avoiding the garbage on the ground, and came to a three-story building. She went up to the second floor and knocked on an iron door. "Sister Hu, are you home? I'm Xiaofang."

"Coming." After a while, the iron gate opened.

A tall woman with short hair opened the door and her eyes lit up when she saw the person standing at the door. "Xiaofang, why are you here?"

Xiaofang breathed a sigh of relief, paused for a moment, looked at the woman and said happily: "Sister Hu, I came here today to tell you a good news."

Hu Xiaoqin heard her words and saw that she was sweating profusely. She quickly pulled her into the house and poured her a glass of water. "Come, drink some water first, and then we can talk slowly."

Xiaofang didn't hesitate to take the cup and took a big sip. She had hurried here in a hurry and was very tired.

After drinking, Xiaofang wiped her mouth with her hand and looked at Hu Xiaoqin excitedly, her eyebrows and eyes flying, "Today a lady came to the company to recruit employees, and your resume was also selected. I came here to inform you to go to the clothing factory at this address for an interview at 9 o'clock tomorrow."

Hu Xiaoqin was stunned after hearing this and didn't react for a long time. She only saw Xiaofang's mouth opening and closing, and the sound entered her ears, making them ring.

Xiaofang finished her words in one breath and saw Sister Hu's stunned expression, as if she had no reaction. She couldn't help but stretch out her hand and wave it in front of her eyes, "Sister Hu, what's wrong? Did you hear what I said?"

Xiaofang saw Sister Hu blink her eyes, turn her head away, and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes. Seeing her like this, Xiaofang withdrew her hand hesitantly, feeling a little empathy. After all, this was the first time Sister Hu received an interview notice in these few months, and no one had ever looked at her resume before.

Hu Xiaoqin reached out to wipe away the tears from her eyes and looked at her a little embarrassedly: "I'm just too excited. Thank you so much, Xiaofang, for giving me such good news."

As she spoke, Sister Hu's smile grew bigger and bigger, and she was happy from the bottom of her heart, "Thank God, someone finally let me go for an interview."

Xiaofang looked a little sad but also happy for her, "Yes, Sister Hu, you can go for the interview tomorrow."

Hu Xiaoqin sighed, "Okay, I'll go for the interview tomorrow." No matter what, this is the only interview invitation she has received in the past few months, and she will definitely do well.

After Xiaofang saw the baby sleeping in the crib, she said, "Sister Hu, you have an interview tomorrow, how about I take a day off to help you look after the child?"

Hu Xiaoqin thought for a while and shook her head and said, "Thank you, Xiaofang. No need. I will bring my daughter to the interview tomorrow. After all, if I pass the interview, I will still have to bring my child to work in the future, and let the boss know my situation."

Although she knew that if she took her child there tomorrow, her advantage would be greatly reduced, this problem was unavoidable and she needed to communicate with her boss early in the morning.

Seeing her determined expression, Xiaofang agreed and did not force her. After informing Xiaofang, she planned to leave.

Sister Hu quickly packed some pickled vegetables for her, all of which were carrot pickles, and handed them to Xiaofang, saying, "Thank you, Xiaofang, for coming to inform me. I made these pickles myself. Take them home and try them."

Seeing her enthusiasm, Xiaofang knew that Sister Hu would feel more relaxed if she took it, so she did not refuse. "Then I'll take it. Thank you, Sister Hu."

Hu Xiaoqin waved her hands and said, "You're welcome. I'll take you there to catch the bus. The security here is not very good. It's not safe for a girl to go down by herself."

"No need, Sister Hu, I can go down by myself."

Sister Hu ignored her refusal, picked up the child from the bed skillfully, opened the door, and said, "Come on, I'll take you to the bus stop."

Seeing her determination, Xiaofang thought about the alley she had passed by before. It was getting late and it was not safe, so she did not refuse and let Sister Hu accompany her out.

Xiaofang knew that Sister Hu was very strong. It was Sister Hu who saved her when she was molested by a hooligan before. She beat the hooligan down with just a few punches while carrying her child on her back. Afterwards, Sister Hu told her in her worshipful eyes that she had been very strong since she was a child. When she opened the factory before, those who came to cause trouble were all chased away by the broom she wielded so powerfully.

In the darkness of the night, watching Xiaofang leave on the bus, Sister Hu stood there for a while and then turned around and walked back with her daughter in her arms. She lowered her head and gently kissed the baby's cheek, murmuring, "Daughter, mom will behave well tomorrow." Find a job and raise you well.

Thinking of Hu Xiaoqin hugging the child tightly in her arms, drawing warmth and strength from her.

＊

After coming out of the job market, Song Shu, Chen Zonghao and Jiahui had dinner outside before returning to the hotel.

After returning to the hotel, the three of them washed up and sat in the living room to watch TV. Television stations were not that popular at the time, and the TV series were always replaying the same TV series. After watching for a while, Song Shu felt a little bored. She saw a deck of poker on the table, took it and said, "Why don't we play train?"

Arranging a train is simple and easy to do. The children learned it after being taught twice.

Chen Zonghao had no objection. Seeing her high interest, he nodded and said, "Okay."

Jiahui was also very curious about the way of playing that Sister Shu and Sister T mentioned, and nodded, "Jiahui wants to play too."

Song Shu lowered her head and pinched her nose. "Okay, Jiahui, come too. I'll teach you. When the card you put down is the same as the previous card, these two cards are yours..."

As Song Shu spoke, she picked up the poker and demonstrated it to Jia Hui. After a while, Jia Hui nodded and understood. Song Shu then shuffled the poker cards together and said, "Let's get started."

Song Shu divided the cards into three equal parts, and each person took a stack and started to arrange the train.

After a few rounds, it was unclear whether Song Shu was extremely lucky tonight or Chen Zonghao had a bad hand. In the end, Song Shu had the most cards, while Chen Zonghao had the least.

In another round, Song Shu counted the cards she got and found she had the most again. She looked at Chen Zonghao proudly and said with a smile, "Sorry, I won again."

Jia Hui clapped her hands and said, "Hit the forehead, hit Second Uncle's forehead."

Their bet was that the loser would have his forehead shot by the winner, and after a few rounds, Chen Zonghao's forehead was a little red.

Song Shu felt a little guilty looking at his forehead, but the feeling of victory made her happy. She hooked her finger at him and said, "Hey, our Mr. Chen has lost another round. Come over here and let me hit your forehead."

Song Shu was so happy that she blurted out everything. Chen Zonghao glanced at her, raised his eyebrows, bent over and leaned his head over, "Go ahead."

Song Shu was not polite either. She blew some air into her hand in a serious manner and said, "Here it comes." Then she flicked Chen Zonghao's head with a crisp sound, and his forehead became even redder.

After playing a few more games, Jiahui fell asleep first due to sleepiness, so Chen Zonghao carried her back to the room and let her sleep.

Seeing him sitting back on the sofa, Song Shu said with great interest, "Let's try a different way of playing. How about comparing points?"

Chen Zonghao glanced at her and raised his lips, "I'll listen to you."

"Okay, then let's play." Song Shu was in a very good mood, and she felt that she was possessed by the goddess of happiness tonight. She was confident that she would win next time.

But the old saying is true, people should not be too complacent, in the points competition, except for the first game where Song Shu beat Chen Zonghao, Song Shu lost the following games.

Seeing the man bend his fingers again, Song Shu rubbed her forehead and looked at him frustratedly, "Why did I lose again?"

Now she was possessed by the god of bad luck, and the man did not go easy on her and hit her on the head with real melon seeds. Without looking in the mirror, Song Shu knew that her forehead must be as red as the man's just now. Song Shu thought in her heart that the man must be taking revenge on her for hitting him on the head just now, and she secretly complained that the man was really a vengeful person.

Chen Zonghao looked at her and raised his eyebrows: "Do you still want to play?"

Song Shu bit her lower lip, not wanting to believe that she would lose, so she gritted her teeth and nodded, "Let's play."

"No, don't play, wait until the next round to play together."

"Ahem, let's just let it accumulate for now, and then you can hit me on the head next time, okay?"

Next, Song Shu begged for mercy again and again, asking him to remember it first and settle the bill together at the end.

In the end, Song Shu didn't even remember how many times she owed him a punishment of being hit on the head. She leaned back on the sofa with her hands spread out, feeling a little disappointed. She pouted and said, "I don't want to play anymore. I always lose. It's not fun at all."

Chen Zonghao put away the poker in a good-tempered manner and nodded: "Well, if you don't want to play, then don't play."

Song Shu felt guilty after hearing what he said. She coughed and closed her eyes, "Then come and hit me on the head." If she loses, she will admit her punishment. At most, it will clear her mind and remind her that small gambling brings joy, but big gambling hurts her body.

After waiting for a while without any movement from him, Song Shu opened her eyes again and saw the man looking at her intently.

Song Shu was stared at by him, that gaze seemed to be able to make people indulge in it, and she asked uncomfortably: "What's wrong?"

Chen Zonghao looked at her and said in a low voice: "You don't need to shoot at the head, you can use other methods to offset it."

Song Shu was somewhat moved by what she heard, but seeing how focused he was, she hesitated, "How do I offset this?"

Chen Zonghao looked at her, stood up, raised the corners of his mouth, and smiled in a mesmerizing way, "How about a hug?"

Song Shu's heart was pounding. She looked up at him, but she didn't expect that he was talking about this request. The man looked very calm.

Song Shu pulled the sofa with her hand, stood up and threw herself into his arms, and was caught steadily by the man.

She rested her head on his chest, as if she could hear his heartbeat. Song Shu nudged him, her lips curled up, and she said, "Why are you like a child? You still want a hug."

Chen Zonghao put one hand around her waist and the other on her back, hugging her tightly and holding her in his arms. Hearing her words, he lowered his head and carefully rubbed her head with his chin, "Well, I'm just a child."

After hearing this, Song Shu's mouth corners curled up even more, but she didn't say anything else.

It was unknown how much time had passed, but in the end, Chen Zonghao was the first to let her go. He rubbed her head and looked down at her, "Go to bed, good night."

Song Shu stepped out of his arms, tucked her hair behind her ears, and nodded, "Well, good night."

Lying on the bed, Song Shu thought about the warmth and firmness in his arms. The way he held her was as if he was holding the whole world, and she couldn't help but feel a sweet feeling in her heart.

＊

The next day, Song Shu and Chen Zonghao finished their breakfast as usual, as if the hug last night was the punishment.

After eating, the three of them packed up and went to the clothing factory.

When they arrived at the clothing factory, the old man was still guarding the door. When he saw Song Shu coming, he was the first to greet her, "Hello, Boss Song."

When Song Shu heard his address, it seemed as if the old man had also received the notice that the clothing factory had a new owner.

Song Shu nodded and replied, "Hello, Uncle Lu, you can continue to stay in this factory to help guard the door. I wonder if you are willing to stay."

Song Shu thought that the old man was very conscientious in guarding the gate, so she thought that she could keep him and then find a few more security guards to take turns with him.

Uncle Lu was very happy to hear this. He thought he would lose his job if he changed his boss, but he didn't expect Boss Song to keep him. He nodded quickly and said, "I am willing to stay. Thank you, Boss Song. I will definitely help you take good care of the factory."

Song Shu waved her hand: "You're welcome."

Uncle Lu continued, "Just now a group of people came and said they were here for an interview. I only asked them to wait in the open space in front of the factory and did not let them go in."

Song Shu felt that Uncle Lu was very sensible. She didn't have time to inform him yesterday, but he had arranged it for her. "Thank you, Uncle. You did a great job."

"Where, where."

Song Shu talked to the old man for a few words and then walked into the factory. She saw a group of people standing in an open space. Among them, a woman carrying a child on her back was particularly conspicuous. Song Shu took a look and then looked away. Her gaze was no different from that of other people.

When the group of people saw Song Shu and the other two walk in, they thought from their young faces that they were also applying for the job like them.

Unexpectedly, the young woman walked up to them and said, "Hello everyone, I am the owner of this clothing factory, Song Shu. I will be here to interview you in person today. Please come with me."

After hearing her words, everyone was a little shocked. They didn't expect that she, who was so young, was actually the boss. But she had no reason to lie to them, so after seeing her walk in, the group looked at each other and followed her half-believingly.

The clothing factory had not been cleaned yet. Song Shu simply opened the door of a small conference room, wiped a table and a few chairs, and began the interview. She said to the group of people, "Wait outside first. Come in when I see your name."

The group of people were a little nervous at first because the conference room had just been tidied up, thinking that this interview might be a scam. However, seeing how calm Song Shu was from beginning to end, they were somewhat reassured and thought that it would be just an interview and they would just give it a try, and it would not be a loss.

In this way, Song Shu started to interview one by one. Chen Zonghao and Jiahui sat on the chairs behind her. The two of them watched her quietly without disturbing her.

Chen Zonghao watched her trying in an orderly manner with a confident and calm expression on her face. The hair that fell from her ears was inadvertently tucked behind her ears. The voice from her mouth was smooth and clear, and the way she worked seriously was fascinating.

＊

Hu Xiaoqin's interview was a little later in the middle. After hearing her name, she took a deep breath and pushed the door open as others looked at the child behind her with curiosity or disapproval.

Sitting on the chair, she looked up at the young woman at the top of the table. She smiled at her gently and said, "Do you need to put the child down first?"

Hu Xiaoqin waved her hands quickly, "No, don't bother."

The woman nodded, glanced at the sleeping child on her back, and said softly, "Okay, then let's keep our voices down so as not to disturb your child."

With just these words, Hu Xiaoqin felt a warm current flowing through her heart and her eyes were almost moved to tears. She felt a kind of warmth from the woman. This boss didn't mind that she brought her child with her and even lowered his voice because he didn't want to wake her child.

As for this action, Hu Xiaoqin felt that even if she did not pass the interview today, the trip was worth it. It made her realize that there are still companies in the world where bosses don't mind her bringing her children out to find a job.

In the next interview, perhaps because the young female boss made her feel very comfortable, Hu Xiaoqin was extremely relaxed throughout the entire interview. After leaving the conference room, she did not feel anxious at all, but instead her whole body relaxed.

So when Boss Song finally announced her name on the list of candidates who had passed the interview, she felt a sense of peace and relief in her heart.

However, the surprise came at the end, when she heard Boss Song congratulate her, "Ms. Hu, congratulations on your successful application for the position of director of our clothing factory. I hope you can give full play to your abilities in your next job and build up the factory well."

Hu Xiaoqin opened her mouth and spoke after a while, "Thank you, boss. I will definitely be a good factory manager."

Other new employees also congratulated her, "Director Hu, congratulations."

Hu Xiaoqin smiled back, and it was as if some shackles on her body were broken. Her heart was filled with fighting spirit, and she only thought about the next work. The fighting power from before surged into her again, "Congratulations, congratulations."

Finally, when Boss Song was leaving, Hu Xiaoqin couldn't help but chase him and asked, "Boss Song, I want to know why you chose the good one in the end. After all, I have a child, and other people will think that I might be affected and can't work well..."

Long after, even if Hu Xiaoqin eventually went from being the director of a small factory for Boss Song to the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, she could still remember what Boss Song said to her today: "Ms. Hu, I chose you because I saw your ability. Your professional ability made me choose you. Other factors were not what I needed to consider. Moreover, I believe that you have the ability to handle your own affairs. I trust you."

After hearing her words, Hu Xiaoqin stood there for a long time before leaving. After walking out of the clothing factory and looking at the sunny road in front of her, she laughed out loud: "Hu Xiaoqin, keep going!"

＊

After Song Shu recruited employees for key positions, she assigned other tedious matters such as recruiting workers and establishing the company's rules and regulations to them, letting them negotiate and handle them. This was also a test for them.

Fortunately, she did not make a mistake in this recruitment, and the recruited employees were very capable. The next day, under the overall planning of the factory director, they had contacted a cleaning company to clean the factory and other buildings.

We also invited some professional employees to test the machine, find out what problems there were, recruit other employees, etc., and listed a work form.

Song Shu took it and looked through it. She found that the plan was clear and the arrangements were well-organized. She couldn't help but say to Hu Xiaoqin: "This plan is well planned. Director Hu, you are very capable at work. I was right about you. I feel much more at ease with you."

After hearing this, Hu Xiaoqin said humbly: "Thank you for the compliment, boss. This is my job." Her face was full of energy, and she did not show any sign of tiredness from staying up until three o'clock last night.

She knew this was her chance, and that no matter how many nice words she said, it would be better to produce results that would satisfy her boss, otherwise she might be replaced at any time.

After reading it, Song Shu told her about other arrangements and instructed her to produce the clothes according to the drawings she gave after the workers arrived.

Hu Xiaoqin took the drawing she was given and was a little surprised to see the clothing brand "Zhiyu" marked on it. She was someone who worked in this field, so she had heard of this clothing brand.

I heard that this clothing brand is very popular in Hong Kong. After all, it has led the Hong Kong fashion twice and also influenced the mainland. Therefore, Hu Xiaoqin is not unfamiliar with her and couldn't help but ask: "Boss, is this designer from our company?" Otherwise, this clothing brand would not be produced in their factory.

Song Shu then remembered that she had not explained the matter to the factory manager yet, so she said with some embarrassment, "I forgot to tell you that I am also a fashion designer. I founded this clothing brand."

Hu Xiaoqin was surprised and impressed. She didn't expect that this boss was actually a fashion designer. She was really smart and capable. She was able to bring her clothing brand to this level in just a few months. "Boss, you are amazing."

The straightforward words better reflect Hu Xiaoqin's admiration.

"Thank you." Song Shu continued, "Next, we will focus on producing these casual clothing."

The clothes Song Shu ordered were not cheongsams or traditional costumes, but casual clothes for daily life.

Since the relationship between Song Shu and Tian Tian has been getting better and better, Tian Tian likes to wear clothes designed by Song Shu in her daily life. Therefore, there are often street photos of Tian Tian wearing clothes designed by Song Shu taken by reporters and paparazzi when she goes out, or Tian Tian also wears clothes designed by Song Shu when she appears on shows.

Over time, many people began to imitate Tian Tian's daily outfits, making her outfits a trend. This also allowed more people to know about the clothing brand designed by Song Shu, and the daily clothes she designed became more and more popular.

Hu Xiaoqin took the drawing and nodded: "Okay, I'll arrange it."

For the next two days, Song Shu was busy with the affairs of the clothing factory, and Hu Xiaoqin, who had worked in this field before, became more and more adept at managing the factory.

In the evening, after get off work at the factory, the man prepared his meals and walked to the dormitory as usual. His two twin daughters came out happily to greet him, and the man held one in each hand.

While eating, he casually said, "I heard that the clothing factory next door has reopened and is recruiting employees recently. I also heard that the clothing factory was invested and opened by our boss's wife."

His wife, A-Lian, was surprised when she heard this: "Is this true? That clothing factory was opened by our boss's wife?"

The man nodded. "Really? I'm not lying to you. Someone saw our boss walking with that woman, and heard the manager A-po call her "boss lady."

Ah-Lian was only surprised for a moment. She was now thinking about the other contents of the man's words, "How is the recruitment of workers in the clothing factory? What is the salary? Will it provide food and accommodation?"

The man shook his head: "I don't know about this, I just heard about it. But it's opened by the boss's wife, so I guess the benefits should be as good as our factory."

Ah Lian thought about it and it was true. At worst, she could go and ask around tomorrow. What she was thinking about now was that if the clothing factory was really hiring, she could inform other relatives. She now felt that working outside would earn more money than staying at home. "Do you think I should call back to the village to inform my eldest sister-in-law, younger sister, and my sisters, and ask them to come to the clothing factory to work?"

The man originally said no, why bother with that, but then he thought that they were all relatives, and if there was a good job, they could just shout it out, and among relatives, you help me and I help you, "Call back tomorrow."

The next day, A-Lian called home. After her mother-in-law hung up the phone, she went home and told the eldest son's wife and youngest daughter about the incident.

The eldest son's wife hesitated: "Is this job real or fake? Shenzhen is quite far from here, and it's not easy to go there."

Instead, the younger daughter clapped her hands and said, "Oh my god, my third brother is there. I don't think they will cheat us. And sister-in-law, you forgot the money and photos that my third brother sent back in the past few months. My niece has gained weight. I think they must be doing well."

The eldest sister-in-law thought about it and it was true. Now this job was in front of her, and it was up to her to decide. Thinking of the pressure on her family due to the children she had given birth to, she gritted her teeth and said, "Let me think about it."

The next day, when A-Lian's mother-in-law accidentally mentioned in the village that a clothing factory in Shenzhen was recruiting workers, the villagers were talking about it. Some were excited, while others did not believe it.

Two days later, when A-Lian's elder sister-in-law, younger sister and A-Lian's sisters were sitting on the bus to the county, they found that there were many women on the bus who were traveling with them.

The most eye-catching thing was that a widow from the village was also in the car with her two girls. The widow's husband died early, and her mother-in-law was not an easy person to get along with. The widow was often bullied by her, but now she actually came out with her own children.

There was also a little girl who was only sixteen or seventeen years old. Sister-in-law A-Lian recognized this little girl. She was adopted by a childless couple in the village. The girl's life became a nightmare after the couple had their child. I heard that recently the couple found a fool for the girl in exchange for money to help her brother get married.

Apparently the little girl had sneaked out. The other women looked at the girl and said nothing. They just hoped that the bus would go faster.

After the two families found out that their daughter-in-law had run away, they came to A-Lian's mother-in-law's house to question her.

Fortunately, there are several tall people in A-Lian's family. In addition, A-Lian's mother-in-law is not a pushover. When she was young, she was also a difficult person in the village. She just insisted that she didn't know. When they asked for the address, A-Lian's mother-in-law also shook her head, "How should I know where the clothing factory is? My daughter-in-law didn't tell me."

This is the truth. When Ah-Lian called back, she only informed the clothing factory that they were hiring, but she didn't tell them the address. Even if she told them, her mother-in-law wouldn't be able to remember it.

The two families could only yell that it was impossible for them to chase after him thousands of miles away. The farthest place they had been to in their lives was the town. They didn't know where Shenzhen was, and they didn't dare to take a train for days and nights. In the end, the matter was left unresolved.

And the bus was getting farther and farther away.
