Chapter 313 They actually won first place!
There were five garment factories in Beijing participating in this competition. When registering, Baiyun Garment Factory and the Second Garment Factory had already marked that they were joint products, so the two were counted as one.
The organizer had originally agreed to notify the results in ten days, but unexpectedly they came to the door on the ninth day.
Baiyun Garment Factory has been making a living by doing some scattered orders since the end of the competition. Only if they win the competition and make the garment factory famous can they survive!
On this day, Director He was busy in the factory. During this period of time, he was busy with the competition. Tong Xiayue and other orders were all concentrated in the hands of a group of workers, which kept them busy enough.
There was a rustling sound of footsteps outside the door: "Is Director He here?"
Director He heard the voice, put down the work in his hands and walked out.
He saw three men in blue Liberation uniforms standing at the door. He remembered one of them was one of the staff members who had submitted the works before!
These people must be from the organizer!
Didn't they say that the results would be released in ten days? So soon?
Director He trotted forward excitedly: "Hello, leaders, please come in!"
He took the people to his office and asked the people at the door to invite Director Liu over.
Hearing that they were the organizers of this competition, Director Liu did not refuse. He must have come here for good news. He was the head of a factory, and it was his own credit to have such an honor!
A man who looked like a leader among the organizers took a sip of tea from his teacup and said with a smile: "I thought that Director He was the only one who could do things in your factory. I've heard before that the Second Garment Factory depends on you. As for Director Liu..."
Director Liu's reputation had long been known to everyone. He got the position of director through family connections. He didn't do any real work for all these years. All the affairs of the factory were handled by Director He.
Hearing the leader's words, Director He smiled and said, "No, no, the director is in charge of the overall situation, and we are just busy with some small things in front of others!"
The man said, "This competition is still a small matter? Hehe..."
Just when he said this, Director Liu walked in: "Oh! I heard that the leaders are coming. I'm sorry for not welcoming you!"
The three organizers shook hands politely and sat down, as if no one wanted to say a few more words to him...
Director Liu didn't feel embarrassed and said, "I don't know why the leaders came here today..."
The man said : "I came here today to tell you a good news. The work you collaborated on with Baiyun Factory is the best in the clothing industry this time!"
Upon hearing this, Director Liu stood up abruptly: "Great! Great! Hahahaha! Great! We know that our second clothing factory is no worse than the first!"
Before, when I heard Director He and his team thinking about this competition, I just thought to let them do whatever they want. Anyway, I didn't care about the factory's affairs for so many years. If there was a profit, it would be my credit. If there was a loss, Director He would take the blame.
Therefore, he never asked about this competition at all, thinking that it was nothing more than their nonsense and they were just running for the same place as others!
Who doesn't have some connections these days? Wouldn't someone with a little backstage support beat them?
But he didn't expect that his "foolishness" actually won first place!
Director He was also very excited when he heard the news. Although he knew that their work was excellent, Beijing was a place where crouching tigers and hidden dragons were hidden. If there were others like them who went out to find foreign aid, they might really be outdone.
When the man heard what Director Liu said, his face immediately darkened: "Director Liu, what are you talking about? This entry was jointly submitted by you and Baiyun Garment Factory. You can't give all the credit to your Second Garment Factory, right?"
The man's words made Director Liu embarrassed. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Haha, that's right! We all have the credit, we all have the credit..."
Man: "I just came here to tell you in advance that we will send the work to our superiors and send it out as one of the state gifts. The rewards for your two factories will be notified later."
Director He He said excitedly: "Okay, okay! We'll wait for your notification!"
After the organizers left, Director Liu sat in Director He's office with a bitter face. Director He was puzzled and asked: "Director, why do you have such an expression? Shouldn't this be something to be happy about?"
Director Liu stood up and said angrily: "If you knew you could win this competition, you shouldn't have brought the Baiyun Garment Factory that was about to go bankrupt! They got a share of such a good thing!"
Although he knew what kind of person Director Liu was, after all, he had been with Director Zhou for some time, and he still admired his abilities. He was much better than this idiot Director Liu!
I have listened to Director Liu for so many years because my father and generation had received favors from his family. I am so old, but I still have to endure this kind of humiliation. I feel very unwilling to think about it!
Director He: "Director, if it weren't for Baiyun Garment Factory, we wouldn't have won this competition!"
How could the idiot Director know how powerful Aunt Li is in Baiyun Factory!
Director Liu didn't care about the process at all. He just thought that Baiyun Garment Factory had taken advantage of him this time, and left in a sullen mood.
After the organizers left, they went to Baiyun Garment Factory again. After learning the news of the victory, Director Zhou and Director Fang were so excited that they burst into tears!
This honor is hard-won!
After Director Liu left, Director He ran to the courtyard and wanted to tell Tong Xiayue the good news immediately, forgetting that they hadn’t finished school yet…
When Tong Xiayue came back from school, she saw Director He standing outside the courtyard and pacing back and forth from a distance…
“Director He!”
Hearing Tong Xiayue’s voice, Director He hurriedly trotted over to greet her: “Miss Xiayue! We won! We won!”
Seeing his excited look, she knew that he must be talking about winning the competition!
Tong Xiayue also became excited: “Didn’t they say that the results would be announced tomorrow? How come we know now?”
Director He: “Just now, the organizer came directly to the factory to inform us that our cheongsam would be given away as a national gift!”
“Great!”
Thinking of being able to make some contribution to the country, she was so proud!
Tong Xiayue: "Do they have any rewards for your two factories?"
Director He: "They said we have to wait for arrangements from above. I'm not in a hurry here, but I'm worried about the Baiyun Factory..."
Everyone knows that the Baiyun Factory has been relying on the money borrowed by Tong Xiayue. If the higher-ups don’t make arrangements soon, they will have a hard time holding on!
Tong Xiayue: “There is no other way. We can only wait for the news. It shouldn’t be too late. Now that the results are out, if the higher-ups don’t give us the rewards, it will definitely arouse public anger. It’s not just your two factories, there are so many people from all walks of life!”
The news spread much faster than they imagined. Within two days, the whole city of Beijing knew that the Baiyun Garment Factory and the Second Garment Factory had participated in the competition and won!
