The second book contains only a few photos, but some of them are of myself. There's also a group photo of the three of us from last time.
Zhang Hongmei put down the photo album. "Brother Zhang, it's getting late. You should go and get some rest. I'll come over by myself on Friday night, so you don't need to pick me up."
"I'm tired now. Xiao Li will take Ms. Wang Xinyi to Xinyuan tomorrow."
"So soon? I was thinking of going back to Shuren Hutong to stay tomorrow."
"Hehe, Ms. Wang will be living in Xinyuan from now on."
"Okay, I got it. I'll go home after school."
"I'll also be home at six."
"Aren't you busy lately?" Zhang Hongmei was puzzled, as Zhang Shouyi's position shouldn't allow him to have so much free time.
"No matter how busy I am, nothing is more important than your business, don't worry."
"Hehe. I feel flattered."
"This isn't being pampered. Alright, go and rest."
The next morning, when Zhang Hongmei got up, Zhang Shouyi had already prepared breakfast: rice porridge, pickled vegetable shreds, boiled eggs, and fried dough sticks.
"Hongmei, hurry up and eat. I'll bring you some food in a bit."
"No need, it's still early. How about I take you home first, and then take me home?"
"It's okay, I'd like to see you off."
"I've noticed a significant improvement in my compensation."
"That's an improvement; what you're saying is that you have no ambition at all."
Xiao Li sat to one side, sipping his porridge. It was a meal personally prepared by the Party Secretary, and he was so happy to be able to eat it one day.
After dinner, Xiao Li drove the car, and Zhang Shouyi and Zhang Hongmei sat in the back.
"Hongmei, how about I go with you on Saturday?"
"You? The boss is going into sales? I bet they'd be terrified. Don't worry, I'm the kind of person who won't be taken advantage of anywhere."
Zhang Shouyi also felt that what he said was unrealistic. Although he now held a high position of power, he really had no freedom.
Zhang Shouyi personally got out of the car and escorted Zhang Hongmei to the school gate.
"If you don't like the food for lunch, go back to Xinyuan for lunch. Aunt Li is a good cook."
"No, it's a waste of time. I'll go back to rest at noon when the class schedule changes in the summer."
"Okay, I'll be back tonight."
"Okay, hurry up and go, or you'll be surrounded by onlookers."
Zhang Hongmei arrived early today. When she got to the classroom, there were already several students there, in groups of three or four.
Wei Huaqiang saw Zhang Hongmei come in and said, "Squad leader, you're here early today!"
Good morning, everyone?
"Designing clothes? I don't have time during the week, so I can only do it in the mornings and evenings."
The other students also greeted Zhang Hongmei.
"Thank you for your hard work, would you mind if I took a look now?"
Lu Yue, who is closest to Zhang Hongmei, said, "Of course we don't mind. It would be even better if you could give us some suggestions."
"Hehe, I'm not sure I can do it either." Zhang Hongmei walked over to Lu Yue's side. A male classmate wearing glasses was drawing on paper, while a middle-aged female classmate was giving him pointers.
Zhang Hongmei looked at it and nodded. "This is pretty good, but you need to think about your target consumer group. Men? Women? Working class or the general public? Everyone needs to think these things through. Of course, each design must be accompanied by a plan. Our class will hold a design competition first, requiring novel designs."
Everyone stopped writing and listened attentively to Zhang Hongmei's explanation. Then they all suddenly realized, "Yes, the first thing to do is to identify the target consumer group."
Seeing everyone's sudden realization, Zhang Hongmei thought to herself, "Am I training economics students to be design students? Maybe they'll all become all-rounders in the future."
When Liang Yongmin entered the classroom, he saw Zhang Hongmei and handed her the bicycle keys. "The workshop director said there was no problem and that he could make a hundred men's polyester shirts."
"Okay, we'll take fifty items on Saturday, and send the rest to the building."
"Should I go? It's too tiring."
"No need, the Chairman will provide his private car, the three of us can go. You just keep a close eye on the garment factory, I wonder if they have any inspectors."
"We have everything, don't worry."
"Okay, you'll have to work hard on Saturday and Sunday. You and Du Mingqi should keep a close eye on the building's sales. If there are any problems, discuss them with Yu Hongxia and make a decision."
"knew."
At lunchtime in the cafeteria, Zhang Hongmei really didn't want to sit at the same table as Liu Jingze. Now she finally experienced firsthand what it felt like to be watched by everyone.
Liu Jingze looked at Zhang Hongmei, who was about to slip away, and said, "You should know what the consequences will be if you leave."
"Hehe, I didn't mean that."
Liu Jingzhang chuckled, "I've become a celebrity now, all thanks to Jingze." He completely ignored Liu Jingze's fierce gaze. "Zhang Hongmei, why don't you give me one too? I'll use it as publicity for you."
"Okay, go to the building to buy it on Saturday, then put it on and stand there. I'm entrusting you with such a glorious and arduous task. I have confidence in you."
"Is it really related to me?"
“You own shares in the company, which is related to sales volume and, more importantly, to your pocket.”
"That's true, then I'll have to put in some effort."
The six of them sat around a table eating. Zhang Hongmei looked at Zheng Wenhui, who was acting like a fighting cock, with amusement. She thought the girl was being too paranoid. Maybe Zheng Wenhui was just admiring him? Besides, even if there were other signs, they couldn't be nipped in the bud like that.
After finishing our meal, we went to the finance department's office, where all the people in charge of the study group were present.
Zhang Hongmei smiled apologetically. These people eat way too fast! I'm not late, okay?
Hao Dan excitedly handed a stack of papers to Zhang Hongmei. "Vice Chairman, these are the drafts of the study reports for the remaining three subjects. Please take a look."
Zhang Hongmei took it and asked, "Have all the applications been approved?"
All three auditors nodded. Zhang Hongmei glanced through it briefly.
"Both are good. We're sure to make a good start. Especially the Chinese, which I personally think is excellent. Tao Hongling and Zhao Xiaodong, thank you for your hard work. The other two are also good. I hope you continue to work hard."
"Hao Dan, is today's newspaper coming out this afternoon?"
"Yes."
"Alright, can you and Liu Jiefang bring it back? We need to see what the finished product looks like, and we'll have the sales manager pick it up tomorrow."
Liu Jiefang and Hao Dan had no objections, of course; the two of them could bring back the thousand copies of the study newspaper by bicycle.
"Hao Dan, have you finalized the sales personnel? You need to keep a clear record of the number of newspapers to be distributed, and also think about the issues regarding the newspapers."
"Yes, I've decided. The high schools in the capital districts are the alma maters of several of my classmates."
"Okay, but the data must be clear. Also, make sure Li Yunpeng is present when you collect the money. We will publish all the sales data, whether it's profit or loss, on the bulletin board every month."
"I will be especially careful."
"Go to the newspaper office today and bring three drafts with you. Print them out as soon as possible. Then publish all three together."
