Good fortune and misfortune go hand in hand
In the past, Jian Jianan would never open her letters in the mailroom to see what was written inside. But today, she happened to meet her brother in the mailroom. Due to this inexplicable desire to win, both the brother and sister opened their letters in the mailroom.
Jian Jianan was very glad later that she opened the letter immediately, otherwise she would have to wait until she rested at night to know about these things. The sooner she knew, the sooner she could come up with a solution. Otherwise, she didn't know when this matter would be resolved.
Jian Jianan didn't care about the presence of Jian Jiabei around her. As soon as she saw the previous sentence, she knew the seriousness of the matter and started looking at it on the spot.
"Our collaboration is coming to an end," Deng Bitong continued, "I've been reported."
What? What was reported? Jian Jianan was completely confused. She had no idea why Deng Bitong was reported.
From this, it can be seen that Deng Bitong is no match for Cai Chengyu's thoughtfulness. If it were Cai Chengyu, he would definitely attach several thick pages of letter paper to Jian Jianan in the next letter, telling Jian Jianan the cause and effect and the whole story.
But looking at Deng Bitong, the letter she sent to Jian Jianan only contained half a sheet of paper. You see, she didn't even want to write on a complete sheet of paper. There were rough edges on the edge of this half sheet of paper, and it was obvious that it was torn from some unknown book.
Deng Bitong was obviously very emotional and in a very bad mood when she wrote this. Jian Jianan, who was reading her letter now, was even more impatient than her. All kinds of complicated emotions surged in his heart. Jian Jianan wished he could go back to Deng Bitong right now and shake her body hard until she told him the whole story.
"What's the reason? Report it! Just write the word 'report' to me! And you won't tell me the reason!"
Jian Jianan complained harshly about Deng Bitong in the mail room. She knew that Deng Bitong had many shortcomings and was very particular about appearance, but in Jian Jianan's eyes these were not shortcomings. On the contrary, she quite admired people with such enthusiastic and positive personalities.
But now, Jian Jianan took a serious note of Deng Bitong, saying that she did not finish what she said and left a large part of it blank. She hated people who only said half of what they said and did not finish it the most!
Deng Bitong's half sentence made her feel very anxious. She wished she could not even go to school and fly back home right now. She would go to Shen Ya Clothing Store, find her out of the factory, and ask Deng Bitong harshly what had happened!
Jian Jianan's frown was noticed by her brother. Although Jian Jiabei had just had a quarrel with his sister, he still looked at her worriedly when he saw her like this.
He also saw the content of the letter, "Report? What report?" Jian Jiabei frowned and asked the same question as his sister.
Both the brother and sister are very sensitive to the word "report", because in this era, reporting is a big deal. No matter who it happens to or which family it happens to, it is not a trivial matter that can be easily covered up!
Jian Jianan clearly remembered that when she was in elementary school, that is, when they had just ended their career of setting up stalls at the train station and rented a shop called Nanbei Restaurant in the Sunshine Farmers' Market to open a small restaurant, their small restaurant was also reported once.
The whistleblower's reasoning was, "The Nanbei Restaurant employs more than nine people. This is a capitalist act. Developing capitalist behavior in a socialist country is a serious crime! I hope the organization will conduct a thorough investigation!"
They still don't know who reported them, nor do they know the reason for the report. They don't know if it was a colleague who was jealous of the small restaurant's business, or a passerby who just happened to pass by and disliked them, or a gangster who had nothing better to do and just reported you. Why would they have to pick a day?
In short, their restaurant had been reported once. After receiving the news, everyone in the restaurant was on high alert. Su Qinxuan and Jian Yangping even had an urgent discussion about whether they should temporarily close the Nanbei Restaurant for a while to avoid the limelight and reopen it after the storm had passed.
Whether in the first few years or the last few years of reform and opening up, being labeled with such a label is a very serious matter. What kind of capitalist behavior is this? Don’t you see that the final outcome of everyone who is accused of this will not be good?
Su Qinxuan and the others originally wanted to keep it a secret, but later on, Shan Tao, Shan Jiqing's father, got the news from somewhere and immediately rushed over to comfort them. He then went over to everyone in the restaurant and reviewed the latest economic policies, which reassured everyone.
Of course, the result was just as Shan Tao had expected. The whistleblower's reason fell on deaf ears, and nothing happened to their Nanbei Restaurant in the end. Although the result was good, this incident really made Jian Jianan's family and the employees of Nanbei Restaurant worried for a long time.
This incident also left a great psychological shadow on the two children. Now, when Jian Jianan and his brother saw the word "report" in the letter sent by Deng Bitong, they immediately became alert. If these two children had ears and tails like their dog Huamao, their ears would be very straight like a straight line.
"I don't know. I don't know why she reported it. She only said these two words in the letter!" Jian Jianan took the letter in her hand and read it over and over again, wanting to know whether Deng Bitong had left any secret code on the letter paper like she did when she contacted the underground party, but she hadn't discovered it yet.
Otherwise, how could there be such an unreliable person? After such a big thing happened, he only left me with this sentence!
If this happened to an employee of Jinhuiju who reported to Su Qinxuan, and he only mentioned the worst result when reporting something without revealing a single word about the reason, he would be blamed by Su Qinxuan immediately!
Jian Jiabei had read a lot of martial arts novels recently, and his imagination was even more open than his sister's. He snatched the letter from his sister's hand and said, "How about this? Give me the letter, and I'll take it back and pour water on it, or use a lighter to heat it to see if any hidden words will appear!"
Jian Jianan: "..."
Brother, you should read less story books! Otherwise, I'm afraid that when the final exam papers are handed out, you will not be able to help but spit to see if there are any hidden extra questions!
Jian Jiabei was very anxious: "What's wrong with her? She never finishes her sentences, only speaks halfway. What do you mean by reporting? Is she reporting him or our family? I know a little bit about your cooperation, but being reported like this and even failing to complete the cooperation must be a big deal! Besides, it costs five cents to send a letter, and it costs fifty cents to put one piece of paper in it, and fifty cents to put ten pieces of paper in it. Why didn't she put a few more pieces of paper in and finish the story?"
Jian Jianan shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either. Deng Bitong might make mistakes with small things, but she would definitely be careful with big things.
Since she hadn't even told me the whole story, I could imagine how urgent the situation was. Maybe she was already rushing to resolve the issue and wanted it to end with a good outcome. In that case, it was understandable that she hadn't written much to me.
After all, as a high school student, I can only stay in school and study hard to improve myself every day. What I can do outside is definitely very limited.
Even if Deng Bitong wanted to ask me for help, she couldn't find it!
It seems that she can only wait until the weekend when she returns to Shen Ya Clothing Store to talk to Deng Bitong.
I just hope that by then, Deng Bitong can be more reliable and tell Jian Jianan the whole story.
No matter how anxious they were at school or how much they longed to go to school, the brother and sister had no way of knowing the truth.
So Jian Jianan had to give up and gave up all the thoughts of running outside the school to find Deng Bitong. He waited day after day until Saturday when school was over. He rushed out of the school gate and got on the car that came to pick him up. He was eager to go back to Shen Ya Clothing Store.
"Nannan, goodbye!"
"Goodbye, see you on Monday!" Jian Jianan greeted his friends and classmates happily, then rolled down the window and asked the driver to drive away.
Of course, Jian Jianan, who was eager to go home, naturally ignored Shan Jiqing who was still standing by the car and greeting him and saying goodbye.
Duan Duan, who had already greeted Jian Jianan, said to Shan Jiqing, who had just arrived late because of something, "Nan Nan is gone, you are late."
Shan Jiqing didn't care at all: "Yes, but it doesn't matter. Our two families can live together. She will live above me. Nannan goes home earlier than me, so I can visit her at night."
Suddenly, the aroma of tea filled the air. Duan Duan was not used to it for a moment and sneezed out of stimulation, "A-choo, a-choo!"
Duan Duan was very angry when he saw Shan Jiqing leaving. He complained to Lin Chuan beside him, "Why is he like this? He likes to appear close to Nan Nan!"
Lin Chuan: "Oh, you have to understand. He's the type of good wife he is."
A good wife? Duan Duan pondered the meaning of these words and was suddenly shocked. This word was too incompatible with Shan Jiqing. She said that Shan Jiqing had a temperament that she could never describe. So this is what is called a good wife!
Jian Jianan now has no idea that someone is discussing matters concerning her good wife behind her back. She is now completely focused on the Sen Ya Clothing Store and wishes she could grow wings and fly there immediately.
Jian Jiabei, who was sitting in the car with her, was also a little worried, but he had made an appointment with someone to go to the gym to play basketball together. Now he couldn't help but hesitate whether he should turn down the invitation and go to Shen Ya Clothing Store with his sister.
In the end, it was Jian Jianan who spoke to comfort him, "It's okay, brother. I'm here for you. And you have to believe that Dad has always been here in the store. Even if you can't trust me, you should always trust Dad."
Seeing that her brother was still a little worried, Jian Jianan had no choice but to use her trump card. She smiled slightly, her tone gentle enough, but the content of her words was very heartbreaking, "Besides, even if you go there, it won't make any difference."
Jian Jiabei: "..."
Okay, you convinced me, so I won't go.
According to the original plan, the driver first took Jian Jiabei to the Shenzhen Stadium, and then took Jian Jianan to Shenya Clothing Store.
"Okay, little boss, I'll come pick you two up later!" The driver said to Jian Jianan when she got off the car.
Jian Jianan nodded. She didn't know when the title of "little boss" became popular. Anyway, by the time she really noticed it, everyone around Su Qinxuan and Jian Yangping called her the little boss.
As soon as Jian Jianan got out of the car, he searched for Deng Bitong with his eyes. Unexpectedly, she was standing at the door of Shen Ya Clothing Store. No need to guess, she must be helping customers choose clothes to match.
Jian Jianan and Deng Bitong exchanged a glance and were about to call her out when Deng Bitong gestured to her, indicating that she would come back to her later. Jian Jianan had no choice but to stop talking and wait for Deng Bitong to finish talking to the little girl before coming to find him.
"What exactly is going on? The letter you wrote me didn't explain the whole story. I don't know what was reported, who reported it, and what was the outcome of the report?"
Deng Bitong touched her forehead a little embarrassedly. "I'm sorry. I was in a very bad mood when I wrote that letter that day. I only had time to say this to you. The rest of the time I was completely focused on how to solve this problem."
Jian Jianan was anxious: "What on earth is going on? Tell me quickly!"
"Oh, oh, don't worry, I'll tell you now."
Deng Bitong tells the story.
"In the final analysis, this is all caused by a man."
???
Ahhhh?
Jian Jianan was once again shocked by Deng Bitong's shocking words. Wasn't it said that she had been reported? How come it was a man who caused the trouble again?
"Actually, I'm also very embarrassed. It's all my fault. But as our business grows bigger and bigger, it's inevitable that someone will report us. After all, no one can stand seeing me, a female employee in a factory, openly developing a side business in the factory." Deng Bitong first defended herself before continuing.
"By the way, do you remember that we changed a policy earlier and let me take the clothes to the factory to sell them?"
Jian Jianan nodded to show that he knew.
This policy was actually discussed with Deng Bitong. Their original plan was to have Deng Bitong wear the main item of clothing sold that week and walk around the factory, constantly promoting it to others and praising its merits, so that people would know about its existence and be tempted.
Then, Deng Bitong would wear the clothes after get off work and bring the female workers in the factory to the store to buy them. Even if Deng Bitong didn't bring them there herself, the female workers would still be very tempted and would come to buy them on their own initiative.
Later, Jian Jianan felt that this model was a bit slow. Deng Bitong lived in the staff dormitory in the factory anyway and had deep contact with the female workers every day. It would be better to let her bring the clothes over on Mondays, and then she could take them out and let the female workers try them on during the sales process.
This can also greatly save them the process from being attracted to buying something. After all, being attracted does not mean they will buy it immediately. They also have to go through a difficult psychological struggle.
Take Jian Jianan herself for example. If she really wants to eat fried fish skin now, she'd better go buy it immediately instead of waiting two hours, three hours or even half a day to buy it. By that time, Jian Jianan might not even want to look at the fried fish skin anymore.
What's more, fried fish skin only costs a few cents, while their clothes cost dozens of yuan. If they put such a huge amount of money in front of them and the girl hesitated and suddenly decided not to buy it because it was too expensive, wouldn't they lose a lot?
You know what, since Deng Bitong switched to this model, the number of clothes they sell has actually increased significantly.
At this point, Deng Bitong proudly gave a thumbs-up to report this week's results to Jian Jianan, "Nannan, do you know how many pairs of jeans we sold this week?"
Jian Jianan shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
Deng Bitong: "More than a hundred!"
Jian Jianan pondered, "It seems this model is very successful and worth promoting. How did you get reported?"
Deng Bitong has this problem when she speaks. She often doesn't know where the topic will go, and she has to bring the topic back from time to time.
Deng Bitong realized what Jian Jianan meant and quickly changed the subject to continue explaining why she was reported.
"The other day, I was helping someone match my jeans. The cut of those jeans is so good, they flatter the shape of your legs and make them look longer. I don't know how many girls like them. Every time I get home from work, there's a bunch of girls waiting for me before I even get to the door. They've heard I have the latest jeans and want to try them on. Many of them even buy them on the spot after trying them on!"
"I was trying to get my jeans out of the cabinet under my bed when someone grabbed my shoulders. I looked up and realized they were members of the Anti-Tong Alliance. They looked at me with ill intent and said the director wanted to see me and asked me to go right away."
"Before I could react, I asked them if they were going now. They nodded confidently. I had no choice but to follow them to the director's office. There weren't just us walking along the way. Many people seemed to have heard something and trailed behind us, wanting to see what was going on."
"I was taken to the director's office in front of everyone. There was more than just the director in the office. My team leader, the workshop director, the office director, and several other factory managers were also there."
When Jian Jianan heard this, her heart was about to be pulled up by her words, "Oh my God? What is going on?"
Deng Bitong continued, "I only then realized that someone had reported me selling clothes in the factory to others. The management thought it was a big deal, so they called so many people together to discuss how to deal with my case."
When Jian Jianan heard the words "results," he immediately felt a negative reaction. "Wait, let's not talk about what happened first. Tell me the results first. The results are that you've resigned from the factory and are now working in the store. Do you plan to continue working in Shenya?"
Deng Bitong nodded proudly, "Yes, that's right. Oh wait, I haven't finished telling you what happened yet!"
"As soon as the management called me into their office, they started a heated discussion right in front of me. Some criticized me for ruining the factory's morale and saying I wasn't learning the ropes. Even though we're a foreign company, we shouldn't bring in those bad capitalist habits from abroad!"
"They discussed it for a while and decided on a course of action for me. Some thought I should be given a serious warning, while others advocated docking my salary for three months. They said that since it was my first offense, they wouldn't fire me for now. They would instead give me a serious warning and keep me in the factory for observation. They would wait and see if I relapsed before making a decision."
"I originally thought I'd just accept any punishment I received, so I could continue selling clothes there without losing out on the bigger picture and affecting our business. But even after I gave in, some people still wouldn't let me go. Several members of the Anti-Tong Alliance followed me into the office, and their leader actually suggested from behind that they confiscate all the money I'd made from selling clothes, as well as all the stolen goods I'd collected!"
Deng Bitong's voice became more intense, and her volume accidentally increased by at least eight degrees. "How can I tolerate this? I definitely can't tolerate this! He just docked my salary, and now he wants to confiscate the money I earned before, and the clothes I brought here! He's trying to kill me!"
Although Jian Jianan knew that Deng Bitong was talking about a tragic thing that she had personally experienced, she couldn't hide the smile on her face when she heard Deng Bitong say this. It was because Deng Bitong's story was too funny.
Jian Jianan thought about the course of events based on Deng Bitong's personality, "So? You refused?" Jian Jianan guessed that Deng Bitong not only refused on the spot, but also probably scolded everyone present on the spot. No matter whether you are a team leader or a leader, no matter whether you are a director or a secretary, she would definitely point at everyone's face and scold them for not taking care of the things they should take care of, but being very active in the things they should not take care of.
Deng Bitong felt a little embarrassed. She scratched her head and said, "Uh, I didn't really scold him. I think I was just arguing with him!"
They would say things like, "You're nosy, why don't you take care of your wife who kills you every day?"
Or they might point at another person and ask, "Oh, you meddle in so many other people's business every day. I bet you'll live a long life!"
Jian Jianan wasn't surprised by Deng Bitong's approach. She had already figured out her personality when she first approached her about collaborating. She was very aggressive and unyielding. In other words, she couldn't stand being offended, and she would vent her anger right away.
But then again, if it were Jian Jianan, he would definitely be furious when he heard that his legal property was going to be confiscated. He might even be angrier than Deng Litong and do something even more irreparable!
Anyway, after this incident, Deng Bitong really broke off relations with everyone else, and she could no longer stay in the factory.
So she had no choice but to resign. Fortunately, she had already found a way out, which was to work as a designer at Senya Clothing Store!
Jian Jianan's eyes widened. "What? You want to be a designer?"
Jian Jianan thought about Deng Bitong's future career. She might come to Shenya to work as a salesperson, or she might continue to work as a female worker in other factories. However, Jian Jianan did not expect that Deng Bitong would come to their family to be a designer!
Deng Bitong rolled her eyes at Jian Jianan. "What's that look in your eyes? Are you questioning me? Do you think I can't be a designer? You should know that it was your dad who personally approved my interview at your house!"
Jian Jianan quickly corrected himself, "Of course I'm not questioning you, I'm just expressing my shock. I never thought you could design clothes!"
Deng Bitong didn't care: "As for designing clothes, I've never been involved in it before, but you know I'm very knowledgeable about clothes. When I couldn't find clothes that suited my taste on the market, I made a few myself using my mother's sewing machine. I know the basic patterns, how to cut and mend them."
Jian Jianan nodded. She was very shocked when she heard it just now, but after thinking about it, she felt that Deng Bitong was a very suitable designer. After all, her aesthetic taste in clothes was unquestionable, and she happened to have basic knowledge of basic clothing cutting. Having such a designer with excellent taste would definitely be a great help to Shen Ya Clothing Store.
Jian Jianan smiled and praised Deng Bitong: "That's great, Sister Tongtong, I think it's a great thing for us Shenya to have you to help us!"
Deng Bitong is a person who is soft-hearted and does not tolerate toughness. If Jian Jianan had just expressed doubts about her, she would have argued with her in great dissatisfaction. But now that Jian Jianan was praising her with a smile, she felt relaxed all over after hearing these good words, and immediately stopped arguing with Jian Jianan.
Deng Bitong laughed. "So, this is what happened. Boss Jian Jianan, we will be working together from now on. I will be working under you, so please take good care of me."
It can be seen that Deng Bitong is in a very good mood now, and she even wants to joke with Jian Jianan.
Jian Jianan nodded and joked with her, "Okay, okay, Sister Tongtong, remember to design me some beautiful dresses. I will definitely say a few good words for you in front of my dad!"
The two looked at each other and suddenly burst out laughing at the same time.
Deng Bitong felt relaxed all over. She didn't like doing boring and repetitive mechanical work in the factory anyway. She came to Shen Ya to be a clothing designer. This was the job she had always dreamed of and loved. Such a creative job was the most suitable for her.
Jian Jianan felt something was wrong, "Did you miss something?"
She suddenly remembered, "Oh right! What about that man you just mentioned?"
It's no wonder that Jian Jianan asked this question. Deng Bitong was really incoherent and her topics jumped around a lot. She often jumped to the next topic before finishing one question.
Jian Jianan had been talking to her for such a long time, and she probably understood everything clearly, from the reason for his resignation to what happened. Now, the only thing she didn't understand was what "man" meant at the beginning.
"Hi!" Deng Bitong waved her hand. Although her action was heroic, her facial expression showed a bit of embarrassment and shyness.
"You're still young. I didn't want to tell you."
"I'm not a kid anymore! I'll be an adult in a few years!" Among the words Jian Jianan hates the most, "You're still a kid" is one of the most common ones.
Many people have told her this, including the doorman at Jinhuiju and the old employees at the Nanbei Hotel who watched her grow up. Whenever they want to stop Jianan from doing something, they will always find a reason.
But Jian Jianan doesn’t think that age is any hindrance to him at all!
Being young is just an excuse these people make!
Over time, Jian Jianan, after all he was still young and had not yet cultivated the ability to hide his emotions, had developed a conditioned reflex to these three words. Therefore, he was very unhappy when he heard Deng Bitong's words.
"Sister Tongtong! Just tell me! If you thought I was young, you wouldn't have agreed to cooperate with me before!"
Jian Jianan acted coquettishly, and Deng Bitong finally told her, "I'm in love!"
Jian Jianan immediately realized why Deng Bitong looked embarrassed. "Are you in love? Who are you dating? It can't be that..."
"Could it be the man you just mentioned? The one who directly caused you to resign from the Dada Toy Factory?"
Jian Jianan's voice broke at the end of her speech. She stared at Deng Bitong in disbelief, as if she was meeting her for the first time.
If Deng Bitong nodded, it would mean that Jian Jianan's guess was correct, and that her new lover was that man, the one who caused other people to be jealous and report her to the director. If that was really the case, Jian Jianan would feel that he needed to re-examine his cooperation with Deng Bitong.
She felt that if Deng Bitong was like this, it meant that she was acting on her emotions, and there was a high probability that she did not recognize people well!
For a man, she even gave up her job, and finally accepted the man's pursuit and became his girlfriend.
Deng Bitong raised her finger and shook her head seriously, "No, no, no, you don't understand."
Jian Jiannan had a blank expression on his face: "I really don't understand."
Deng Bitong nodded first, which verified Jian Jianan's guess. Seeing her serious expression, Deng Bitong knew that something was wrong. She inexplicably had a feeling that if she didn't say something, Jian Jianan would probably despair of her.
Although she didn't understand why she got a little flustered when Jian Jianan frowned.
"Listen to me!" Deng Bitong didn't dare to be naughty anymore and immediately poured out everything to Jian Jianan.
"Listen to me, don't be so serious!"
"I promised him for other reasons."
"I believe you've heard that Qi Wenxiu is a prominent figure in the factory. His every move is quite eye-catching. Otherwise, I wouldn't have suffered this unprovoked disaster this time."
"The day after the news broke that I had been implicated by him and had voluntarily resigned, he came to me and apologized, saying it was all his fault that I was forced to leave. The atmosphere was very good at the time, and he finally asked me for mercy, so I agreed."
Qi Wenxiu is Deng Bitong’s new boyfriend.
Taking into consideration that Jian Jianan was still a minor who was in school, Deng Bitong glossed over many things, such as how Qi Wenxiu chased her out of the factory and came to Deng Bitong on a rainy day, how the two of them lingered in the rain, and how Deng Bitong finally couldn't resist the temptation of his beauty and agreed to Qi Wenxiu's confession.
But she definitely couldn't tell Jian Jianan about this. Deng Bitong could only say, "I've thought about it. Although I resigned because of a momentary impulse, our great cause cannot be interrupted because of this! I can leave, but the factory must have our talents!"
Jian Jianan didn't believe it and looked over suspiciously, "You mean you want to keep Qi Wenxiu in the factory as an insider?"
Why doesn't she believe it? It seems like Deng Bitong made up what she said!
Facing Jian Jianan's questioning, Deng Bitong remained expressionless and nodded firmly, "Am I the kind of woman who would surrender to a man's attention?"
"do not you?"
"Of course I'm not!"
Deng Bitong protested her innocence: "I'm doing this for our careers! Do you remember what I told you before? Qi Wenxiu is quite popular in the factory because of her good looks."
"Note that when I say he's popular, it's not just among women. Even many men pay attention to him! Some men may like to say sarcastic things about him behind his back, but more people pay attention to Qi Wenxiu. They buy the same things he wears and uses."
Jian Jianan suddenly understood, "I understand what you mean!"
Deng Bitong was thinking of training Qi Wenxiu to be her successor in terms of sales. After all, she was leaving, and they would no longer have an insider in Dada Toy Factory. This was not acceptable. Could it be that their business would collapse halfway through?
So, Deng Bitong thought about picking someone to continue the unfinished business in the factory.
Deng Bitong was very excited. "You have no idea how popular Qi Wenxiu is! He's simply the male version of me! The other male workers couldn't wait until the next day to find out about the clothes he wore today. They went to find out that very night. The next day, they all followed suit and showed up wearing the same clothes!"
"Aren't we planning to launch a men's clothing line in the future? It's just perfect for him!"
Jian Jianan was skeptical about this, "Really?"
Deng Bitong swore: "Of course it's true! I am a very ambitious woman. You are my most trusted partner. How could I lie to you?"
Jian Jianan: "Then speak honestly, you agreed to Qi Wenxiu's pursuit, is it really not because he is good-looking?"
Deng Bitong chuckled and paused, "Hmm... well, a little bit! Just a little bit!"
“It’s really just a little bit!”
Jian Jianan: "..."
I knew it!
Great, she heard that Qi Wenxiu will be here soon, she wants to see what this person looks like!
"Oh right!" Deng Bitong slapped her head, "I have something else to tell you!"
"I've been attending a factory social for a while now. It's a social gathering held by several surrounding factories for men and women of marriageable age to meet and get to know each other. I've made quite a few friends at this gathering!"
Jian Jianan became interested. "What? Tell me in detail!"
"I didn't tell you until you went to school. I used to hate attending these kinds of socials. I was just picked over like merchandise! But this time, when I heard all the nearby factories would be participating, I was the first to sign up."
"Then, I met a lot of female workers of similar age, all from nearby factories!"
This idea had been vaguely formed in Deng Bitong's mind before she resigned. She thought that for Shen Ya, a single factory had its limits after all, but if workers from surrounding factories were also brought into this propaganda network, how huge would it be!
There are more than tens of thousands of people!
Jian Jianan's eyes lit up, and he could immediately imagine the meaning behind Deng Bitong's words and its huge potential.
Deng Bitong: "You're in school, so I've discussed this matter with your father. I had an in-depth discussion with the female workers from other factories and picked out the most suitable candidates. I gave them the same task as I did before, which is to promote Shenya Clothing within the factory."
Jian Jianan nodded repeatedly, "Yeah, yeah, very good! I think it's very good!"
Jian Jianan couldn't help but enjoy the beautiful picture of the future...
There are at least 10 factories in Shekou. By that time, many people in the factories will buy Shen Ya's clothes based on the recommendation of "insiders". What a huge profit it would be!
"That's right..." Deng Bitong's expression suddenly changed.
Jian Jianan frowned: "What is it?"
Deng Bitong: "That's right, I told them that they can use the name of relatives, so you may have more than a dozen relatives in the future..."
But this is also for their greater cause, and she believes Jian Jianan will understand.
Sure enough, Jian Jianan didn't take it seriously. "It's okay! It's not a big deal. More relatives, more ways!"
While the two were talking, Deng Bitong's boyfriend came to bring her food.
The food at Dada Toy Factory was truly amazing, but Deng Bitong resigned after a quarrel and could no longer work there, so she naturally lost the opportunity to eat there.
But it doesn't matter, because the next second after she resigned, she got a boyfriend who was a factory hunk. This factory hunk felt sorry for his girlfriend who had to work hard every day at Shen Ya Clothing Store, and sometimes was so busy that she forgot to eat and sleep, so he volunteered to bring meals to Deng Bitong.
Even though Jian Jianan looked at Qi Wenxiu several times with a critical eye, he had to give a thumbs up to Deng Bitong's vision.
It seems that what Deng Bitong just said was not entirely false. Qi Wenxiu can indeed be the insider successor to her factory, but he needs to be trained well.
Jian Jianan didn't want to disturb the two young lovers in front of him, so he got to know Qi Wenxiu, said hello, and then went back home.
However, when he saw his mother, Jian Jianan suddenly remembered that he had something to tell her.
"Mom! I want to ask you to buy something. I want to buy a pager!"
After making his request, Jian Jianan explained his reasons in detail, "...Look, with things like today, Deng Bitong and I missed a lot of information due to communication difficulties. If I had a pager, wouldn't that be very convenient?"
