Chapter 67: Painting Cake

Pu Xiang is extremely busy here.

Now that we have a designer, the drawings and samples will soon be ready, and Puxiang still needs to find a clothing factory to cooperate in production.

When it really came to this point, she suddenly realized a problem: her current scale was too small.

Yang Luming, a veteran employee who has worked at the garment factory for decades, has the same concerns as Pu Xiang.

"Let's go and have a look first. In the past, we would have placed orders with state-owned factories without even thinking about it. Now it's different from before. They are on the verge of bankruptcy. Maybe we can talk them out of it. If that doesn't work out, we can look for small private factories. I heard there are more and more such factories now."

Pu Xiang was taken in by Yang Luming to the largest clothing factory in the county.

Yang Luming used to be a team leader in the cutting workshop here, and he knew several leaders in the factory.

This time he took Pu Xiang to meet a deputy director of the factory. Not only had they known each other for many years, they also had a good relationship.

The deputy factory manager's surname was Hu, a middle-aged man about the same age as Yang Luming. When he saw Yang Luming, he smiled and handed him a cigarette.

"Old Yang, I'm relieved to see that you are doing well now."

Yang Luming was squeezed out at the time, and he was anxious watching it, but he was just a deputy factory director and he couldn't make the decisions on many things.

The incident was over, and Yang Luming was doing well now, so his attitude naturally relaxed: "It's OK, just making a living. Director Hu, how is the situation in the factory now?"

When talking about the situation in the factory, Director Hu's brows immediately wrinkled.

"Not good, not good, Old Yang."

An old employee who has worked in the factory for more than ten years and has almost grown up with the factory, now sees that the factory is on the verge of collapse. How can he not be sad?

It's a pity that some people still can't see the current situation clearly until now. They just want to change the name of the factory to their own. Apart from doing those little tricks, they only know how to put the benefits into their own pockets.

Yang Luming felt uncomfortable when he heard him say that, even though he already knew that the situation of major factories was not good.

After all, he has worked in this factory for so many years.

After a few seconds of silence, Yang Luming could not find any words to comfort her, and could only talk about the purpose of their visit.

"Director Hu, we have no say in the factory's situation, and we can only do our best to do our part. I came to you today to discuss business. This is Pu Xiang from our "Xiang Meiren" company. Boss Pu wants to cooperate with the factory."

Upon hearing about official business, Director Hu immediately calmed down and his expression became serious.

"It's Boss Pu. Sorry, Lao Yang and I are old friends. I talked a little too much when we met. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. How about the cooperation?"

Pu Xiang told them her requirements and also took out the design drawings of the clothes she wanted.

This was the first time she came to discuss cooperation, and nothing had been decided yet, so she didn't bring any samples.

When Director Hu heard the quantity Pu Xiang wanted, he frowned. If it were in the past, a big factory like theirs would not even look at such a small order.

But things are different now. Their factory is almost losing all its orders and they can’t even pay the workers’ wages. What is there to be picky about?

Moreover, he knew Pu Xiang's "Beauty Xiang". His wife and mother were also guests of the other party.

A rural woman, divorced, opened a shop, and now owns three shops in the county town. This is not something that ordinary people can do.

The other party said that within a few years, she planned to open chain stores in their city, several counties under the city's jurisdiction, and the provincial capital Lin City. He felt that it was not impossible to achieve.

"Boss Pu, I believe in your ability. I personally hope that we can cooperate on the order. I will try my best to get the factory director's approval."

Director Hu was genuinely thinking about the factory and he saw this as an opportunity.

But apparently not everyone thinks the same way as he does.

"Director Hu, I think you should stop fighting for it. The factory is already having trouble paying its employees. Why would you want to take on a big order to save the factory? Why would you say anything to this liar?"

A tall, handsome-looking young man walked in.

Pu Xiang turned around when she heard the voice and glanced at the other person.

When this man smiled, the corner of his mouth turned to one side, revealing his so-called bad man temperament.

After the man entered the room, he also saw Pu Xiang who was blocked inside by Yang Luming, and his eyes suddenly brightened.

"She's still a pretty girl, Uncle Yang. You brought people to the factory and tricked them into coming here. Are you still holding a grudge?"

When Yang Luming saw the young man, his good expression disappeared completely.

"I'm talking to Director Hu. What does that have to do with you?"

The young man raised his lips and smiled: "Of course it is related. It seems that you really don't care about the situation in the factory. Now, I am also one of the deputy directors of the factory. If you have something to do with the factory, doesn't it have something to do with me?"

Deputy factory director?

Pu Xiang looked at the other person and he didn't look like the deputy factory director. Instead, he seemed to be on good terms with the deputy factory director.

Yang Luming looked at Director Hu, asking him with his eyes whether what he said was true.

Director Hu nodded grimly.

Yang Lu was obviously angry: "Nonsense, really nonsense, how long have you been here, what qualifications do you have to be the deputy factory director?"

"Uncle Yang."

Pu Xiang reached out and pulled Yang Luming, "Please introduce this deputy factory director to me."

When Yang Luming heard Pu Xiang's question, he angrily withdrew his gaze and said, "This is the Chen Shimei that Xiaoling met before, Zhao Yuanqing."

really.

Pu Xiang's guess was right. Before coming, she had already considered the possibility of meeting Yang Xiaoling's ex-husband. She also discussed with Yang Luming and made an appointment with Director Hu, so she could come here by herself.

But Yang Luming said it was okay.

Now it seems that Yang Luming doesn't go looking for trouble, but people come to him.

I didn't expect that the other party had already become the deputy director of the factory.

Pu Xiang had already predicted that this cooperation would be unsuccessful.

When Zhao Yuanqing heard the three words "Chen Shimei", his expression immediately darkened: "Uncle Yang, you should be more careful about what you say, otherwise, you will easily suffer losses."

Speaking of suffering losses, Yang Luming recalled how he got out of the factory. It was this bastard in front of him who tormented him.

There was also the injustice and suffering that his daughter had to endure in that marriage.

Yang Luming's heart was filled with new and old hatreds, and he wanted to catch someone and beat him up.

Pu Xiang was quick to act and grabbed his arm: "Uncle Yang, let's go. Don't waste time here."

There is no benefit in arguing with such a villain even if you win.

Only living better than the other person can be the biggest blow to the other person.

Zhao Yuanqing raised his chin slightly and looked at Yang Luming and Pu Xiang coldly, as if to say, "As long as I'm in this factory, don't even think about placing an order."

Before leaving, Pu Xiang looked at the other person again. How could such a person be the deputy factory director? The ability of his father-in-law, the factory director, was just that.

When she was leaving the house, a man rushed in and knocked Pu Xiang off balance.

"careful."

"I'm sorry."

Yang Luming reached out and helped Pu Xiang, and the other party immediately apologized.

When Pu Xiang stood firm, she looked up and saw only the other person's hurried back.

Yang Luming frowned, and was about to say something about why young people nowadays were so impetuous, when he heard a sharp cry coming from the office they had just left.

"Zhao Yuanqing, you are a man, if you have the guts, don't play tricks on others behind their backs! Don't think that no one knows what you did! There is no impenetrable wall in this world. You spread rumors about me and slander me, a grown man, for selling my ass. I will fight you!"

Pu Xiang and Yang Luming were both startled by the sound. They were not sure that the person who just came in was a tall man. Just by listening to the sound, they thought that some young sister-in-law had her foot stepped on.

As the voice fell, there was a sound of a scuffle in the office.

Zhao Yuanqing was furious: "Huang Fangyu, you sissy, what are you doing? Let go, let go! Director Hu, call the security guards over, hurry up and take this psychopath to the police station! Ouch!"

Pu Xiang and Yang Luming just thought that Huang Fangyu's scream sounded like someone stepping on her foot, but now they realize that Zhao Yuanqing's voice was more like that.

The two of them listened to the noise outside the door and were about to hide to see what was happening when Huang Fangyu suddenly rushed out again.

Fortunately, Pu Xiang dodged quickly this time, otherwise he would have collided with someone again.

Huang Fangyu left, and Zhao Yuanqing followed closely behind him... His face was scratched several times by someone's fingernails, and the skin was broken and bleeding.

No wonder it screams so miserably.

Pu Xiang signaled Yang Luming to leave with her, clearing up her depressed mood.

After leaving the factory, Pu Xiang said, "I want to give Huang Fangyu a round of applause. He did a great job."

Yang Luming felt more relieved than Pu Xiang: "It's what he deserves!"

The two men pushed their bicycles and prepared to leave when someone hurriedly caught up with them.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute."

Pu Xiang stood up holding onto her bicycle and looked back—

The man who had just fought with Zhao Yuanqing was jogging over.

When he ran closer, Huang Fangyu panted and asked, "It's Uncle Yang, right? Are you looking for Director Hu to place an order for clothes?"

Pu Xiang and Yang Luming looked at each other, and Yang Luming nodded: "Yes, you are Xiao Huang, right? What do you think of this matter?"

Huang Fangyu finally caught his breath after a long breath. "Uncle Yang, and this boss, you just saw it. Zhao Yuanqing and I have a feud. I can't continue to work in this factory. I plan to hire a few people to work alone. If your order quantity is not large, you can come to me. I can do it!"

Fearing that the two would think he was young and unreliable, Huang Fangyu quickly revealed his identity: "I am the leader of the second group in the factory, specializing in operating sewing machines. I am definitely good at it. Uncle Yang is also an old man from the factory. Just ask around and you will know that I am not bragging."

He joined the factory only after Yang Luming left. Otherwise, with his "fame" in the factory, he wouldn't have needed to introduce himself.

Pu Xiang listened and immediately felt that this made sense.

She became interested: "Are you planning to build a factory? Where will you choose the address? How many employees will you have? When can you start production?"

Huang Fangyu was asked a lot of questions, but he couldn't answer a single word.

"Yeah, almost there..."

Don’t ask, I just have an idea, and it will be done soon if you ask.

Pu Xiang: “…”

She came here to draw cakes for someone, but unexpectedly she met someone who was better at drawing cakes than herself.
