Chapter 272
Every city has its own characteristics, which are also reflected in clothing. Fei Qing eagerly followed Qin Xiang walking in the streets and alleys, observing the cultural customs and clothing styles of this city. It was really an eye-opener.
Of course, Qin Xiang didn't just take her to learn how to go shopping all the time. She also took her to two branches to see the sales in the stores, and even had a taste of being a salesperson. After that, she followed Qin Xiang to the silk factory to see the production of their high-end clothing.
On the way back, they went through the provincial capital, where they stopped briefly and retraced the same route. Only when they reached the capital did Qin Xiang ask Fei Qing, "Did you notice any difference between the way you came and the way you left?"
"Yes." Fei Qing looked at her. "Thank you."
I will probably never forget this kindness in my life.
Qin Xiang laughed. "You should thank yourself. It's because you're so good that I accepted you. Now that the trip is over, it's up to you."
"Okay." Fei Qing was very excited and motivated.
Back at the factory, Qin Xiang held a brief meeting with several designers, sharing Fei Qing's itinerary. Then, she distributed the fashion magazines she had brought back and explained, "Autumn and winter clothing sales season will soon begin. We'll design fewer autumn styles and focus on winter items, with sweaters and coats taking up a larger share. We also need to design spring styles before the New Year, as some production needs to begin before the New Year."
Several designers nodded hurriedly.
At this time, Dingxiang and the others had also returned. They were all now interning in the factory designing clothes. This group of people got together to discuss and occasionally come up with better ideas.
After Qin Xiang finished the meeting with them, she went to the workshop to check the production progress. The progress was pretty good and the workers were in high spirits.
Nowadays, Mi Hongjun is very busy. He is in charge of sales and production, and he has lost a lot of weight.
Qin Xiang felt a little guilty, "Jingjing will definitely blame me if she sees this."
Mi Hongjun thought to himself: I've already complained.
But he shook his head, "It's okay. The more I work, the higher my salary will be. Besides, I'm still a small shareholder, so I should work harder."
Qin Xiang laughed and praised, "You have this awareness, it's only natural, but you still need to rest. Find someone suitable to take over sales, and you can take charge of production."
Mi Hongjun hesitated and said, "I would rather be in charge of sales."
In fact, Qin Xiang thought that the production would be safe only if it was in the hands of his own people. Among the people he trusted, Mi Hongjun was undoubtedly the first one. As a result, Mi Hongjun wanted to run away.
Qin Xiang thought for a moment and asked, "Have you talked to Jingjing about this? What's her opinion? Sales is different from production. You have to travel all over the country. She's on business trips all the time. What if you're also on a business trip when she comes back? How can you two see each other throughout the year?"
Mi Hongjun thought so too and said, "Then I'll discuss it with her later."
"Okay, there's no rush. If you're capable, you can do more. Let your deputy go on a business trip, and you can stay in charge." After Qin Xiang finished chatting with him, He Liping brought over the documents that needed her to handle recently. Qin Xiang reviewed them one by one and asked He Liping how she was doing recently.
He Liping said, "It's pretty good. Now all the work is going smoothly. The leaders of each department are all our veterans, so I have no problem coordinating."
Qin Xiang laughed. Mi Hongjun was in charge of production and sales, Tan Xiu was in charge of personnel and training, Miao Xiaofeng was responsible for quality inspection, and Mao Yuxiang was in charge of procurement. As for logistics, she originally wanted Zhao Ping to be in charge, but Zhao Ping followed her everywhere, so in the end she let He Liping take charge of it first.
She thought for a moment, called Zhao Ping over, and said, "Brother Zhao, you should be in charge of logistics from now on. Let Mr. Meng's people take care of the bodyguards."
She didn't want to use his people, but she didn't have enough manpower, so this was the only way.
In the past two years, Zhao Ping has become much more mature following her. He no longer has to worry about her affairs and there is no problem in taking charge of logistics.
As for production, it can only be handed over to newcomers.
Qin Dong is now in charge of all the branches, except for the one in the south which is managed by Liu Xiaocao.
People, or lack of people.
Tan Xiu is also rushing to recruit, so Qin Xiang doesn't want to push her too hard.
Seeing that it was almost August, the weather in the capital was like a furnace. After arranging her work, Qin Xiang hurried home. When she entered the house, she looked at the bodyguard in a black suit and said, "You guys should go back and rest too. I probably won't be going out for the next two days."
"Okay, Miss Qin."
He agreed verbally, but still left someone watching nearby every day.
Qin Xiang looked at it helplessly.
He turned around and brought some summer short-sleeved shirts and shorts from home to give them. "It's so hot, don't wear a suit. You're not afraid of getting prickly heat. Go change. It's okay."
Several bodyguards looked at each other, "But..."
"No buts," Qin Xiang didn't want to explain too much because the weather was too hot. "The most important thing about being a bodyguard is safety. Safety has nothing to do with what you wear. Don't you think wearing a suit will affect your movements? If you sweat, you might not be able to move your legs and feet if something really happens."
The bodyguards seemed to agree with what they heard, so they took the clothes and went back to change.
After they finished changing, Qin Xiang couldn't help but praise them while looking at them.
As expected of a bodyguard, he has a great body, with bulging muscles on his arms, making him look powerful. The only problem is that his short-sleeved shirt is a bit small, making it look like a tight-fitting outfit.
There was nothing else to do, so I called Qin Dong and got some large-sized clothes from the men's clothing store, three sets for each person, "Wear them, they're for you."
A few people thanked him and took turns to stand guard.
Qin Xiang breathed a sigh of relief. It was too much suffering in the hot summer. She turned on the air conditioner in the house, and it was unbearable to have someone guarding her outside, but she couldn't chase them away.
After all, it was Meng Huaiqing who paid their salaries. In Meng Huaiqing's view, this was their job and their means of making a living. If she didn't use them, then their existence would be redundant and meaningless.
Because it was too hot, Qin Xiang was too lazy to go out, so she just read and studied at home, and did some designing at the same time.
During the time she was away, the "Xiangsi" store received some custom-made clothes and a few orders for wedding dresses. Some of them had already been designed by Zhao Wenna, and there were also a few that specifically asked Qin Xiang to design them.
Of course, as a businessman, Qin Xiang has learned Tony's charging method to the fullest. The price of designs by ordinary designers is not the same as that of designs by her, the boss.
When the method was introduced, Zhao Wenna only said to her secretly, "You are a capitalist, you really know how to make money."
Qin Xiang rolled her eyes at her at the time and said, "I'm not a capitalist, how can I pay you such a high salary?"
Zhao Wenna laughed again.
Although Zhao Wenna only signed a work agreement during her school years, she can work anywhere because of her design career. Sometimes she designs ordinary clothes, sometimes she designs high-end clothes. She makes a lot of money every month.
Zhao Wenna lived in the factory most of the time. After Qin Xiang came back, she stayed with Qin Xiang for a few days and almost didn't want to leave.
But he was worried that living here would make Meng Huaiqing unhappy, so after satisfying his desire, he went back to live in the factory.
Originally she wanted to go back to her little house, but a few people at the factory could discuss it, so she went back after all.
The weather became even hotter in August. After two heavy rains, the temperature did not drop but became even hotter.
Meng Huaiqing still didn't come back. Qin Xiang called him twice, but he said both times that the matter had not been handled yet.
Qin Xiang also joked, "I suspect you are busy marrying a second wife over there."
Hearing this, Meng Huaiqing smiled and said, "Then I can go back and check it carefully."
Qin Xiang gritted her teeth and said, "This is a phone call, be serious."
"I'm already serious." Meng Huaiqing said, "Qin Xiang, I miss you so much."
Qin Xiang sat on a chair and ate watermelon, saying happily, "Then please show up soon."
"Wait for me." Meng Huaiqing hung up the phone.
Qin Xiang smiled.
I think habit is a terrible thing.
She once thought that she would live out her life alone, and if she had money she would find a puppy to keep her company. However, she accidentally provoked a big wolfdog, and she could no longer get rid of it.
I fell asleep on the recliner in a daze and vaguely heard someone knocking on the door.
When she opened the door, she saw He Liping standing outside with an anxious look on her face. Qin Xiang hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
"There's something wrong with the clothes produced in the factory," He Liping said anxiously. "There are more than 500 pieces."
Qin Xiang frowned, "How did the problem happen? How did you find out?"
"One worker fell asleep during production, and a perfectly good piece of clothing ended up with one sleeve longer than the other."
Hundreds of pieces of clothing, how much would that cost?
Qin Xiang also frowned when he heard this.
The sleeves of this dress are all fixed sizes, so how can one side be longer than the other? Even if there was a problem with the cutting, wouldn't the sewing machine show it?
He Liping explained, "This batch of goods was made entirely by one person. He happened to be a neighbor of the tailor, and the three of them had a good relationship. So he planned to conceal the goods from the public. He thought that with so few goods, it was not certain which store would distribute them, so he would just treat them as defective products."
Qin Xiang sneered, "That's a good feeling. Let's go and take a look first."
He rode on a cool motorcycle and took He Liping all the way to Yong'an.
When I arrived at the factory, I heard someone crying before I even reached the office.
He Liping said, "It's those three workers crying."
Qin Xiang asked, "How should we handle this according to our regulations?"
"Fine and hold people accountable," said He Liping.
Qin Xiang nodded and felt that it was terrible, but this was the first time a problem had occurred in the factory. If it was not handled properly, it would be difficult to manage in the future.
Entering the office, the three workers knelt down when they saw Qin Xiang. "Director Qin, we were wrong. We really don't dare to do it anymore. Please don't kick us out. We need this job."
Qin Xiang looked at them and laughed in anger, "So you guys teamed up to make bad clothes and try to adulterate them, and it became my fault?"
Qin Xiang sat down on the chair and said to He Liping, "Help them all stand up. This is a new society. Why are they kneeling? If there is a problem, speak up."
Several people were dragged up and continued crying.
Qin Xiang asked them to explain the reason, but they continued crying.
Even with the fan on in the office, it was still irritable on such a hot day. She couldn't help but get angry and said, "Stop crying! Get out of here if you keep crying."
The three of them were so frightened that they forgot to cry.
This was the first time the workers saw Qin Xiang get angry. The three of them were trembling with fear and wanted to kneel down.
At this time, Mi Hongjun also arrived, sweating all over. "If you kneel again, I will let the police investigate directly. They may not be able to find out about such a small matter."
Mi Hongjun handed Qin Xiang a piece of clothing and said, "Director, take a look at this."
