Chapter 248: Surrounded by Curious People



"Xiao Ming, where is your Director Zhao? It's already this late, why haven't we seen him yet?"

"It seems he went to see Minister Wang of the Ministry of Commerce."

"Has he found a translator? Any news?"

"I'm not sure about this. How about I go to the door and ask Brother Guihe? He lives in the same room with Director Zhao, so maybe he knows."

"Forget it, let's finish our work here first."

The boys' clothes were easier to put on, and soon they returned to the booth in twos and threes.

"Director Song, am I wearing my clothes correctly? They feel weird on me."

When Song Fuyu heard the question, he looked up.

After watching it, I almost burst out laughing.

This man received a double-breasted jacket, which was supposed to have concealed buttons, but he mistook them for visible buttons and forcibly buttoned the jacket.

"Unbutton it now, you made a mistake."

"The buttons of this dress are on the inside. The two rows of buttons on the outside are not used, they are just for decoration."

After he unbuttoned his clothes, Song Fuyu lifted one side of his clothes and showed him the location of the hidden button.

After readjusting himself, he felt relaxed all over.

"I was just wondering why it was so awkward and uncomfortable to wear. It turns out I was wrong."

In fact, this dress is a spring and autumn style designed by her, and it looks better when worn open.

But given the current situation in the country, many people don’t even have winter clothes, and explaining to them that these are spring and autumn clothes seems a bit inappropriate, so she didn’t say much.

While she was instructing Xiao Ming to adjust the boys' clothes, almost all the girls had changed their clothes and returned.

"Ladies, please line up first and come over one by one. I will help you with your hair."

When they were training yesterday, Song Fuyu told them to try to wear black or white shoes today. Both men and women must wash their hair when they go back.

On the one hand, it is to make the overall image better, and on the other hand, it is convenient for her to help them adjust their hairstyle.

She couldn't accept doing the hair of someone who hadn't washed his hair for many days. It would make her want to chop off her own hands afterwards.

When she was matching her hairstyle according to the clothes they were displaying, more and more people gathered around their booth, and even some foreign customers were watching the fun.

"Director Song, what are you doing?"

"Yeah, you hired so many people, asked them to change into clothes from your factory, and now they are helping with their hair. Aren't you going to sign the order today?"

Song Fuyu put down the comb in his hand, turned around and said to the crowd: "As you all know, we have a fashion show this afternoon. This is all in preparation for the afternoon activities."

"It's not convenient to answer your questions now. If you are curious, you can go to the podium on the first floor at 2:30 pm to watch our fashion show."

"Thank you, everyone. Please go back first. After all, other comrades in our garment factory still have to receive customers."

After the onlookers left, Song Fuyu quickened his work speed. After all, there were thirteen female comrades in total, and the workload was not small.

"After I help you fix your hair, please don't jump around, otherwise your hair will get loose and you will have to tie it again."

After she finished speaking, she saw the girl who had just done her hair suddenly change her movements to being very cautious, which was a bit funny.

"There's no need to be so deliberate. Normal actions will still not disperse."

..........

"Fu Yu, are you almost done with your work?"

"Uncle Zhao, where have you been? I haven't seen you all morning."

"I'm going to see Minister Wang. Just in case, we need him to come and help us calm down today."

The people from the other two garment factories have been eyeing them covetously these days. In order for this afternoon's activities to proceed smoothly, Minister Wang must be invited.

With him around, even if others have ulterior motives, they dare not cause trouble easily, after all, Minister Wang's status is there.

"But there is one thing. Minister Wang must be arranged to speak at the beginning."

"Okay, no problem."

"You went to see Minister Wang, what about my Aunt Fang?"

This couple is more mysterious than the other today and their whereabouts are unknown.

"Your aunt Fang went to invite Ms. Caroline to attend our fashion show."

"Invite her?"

"Yes, I contacted Comrade Geng Xingping and asked him to help us translate. But he has been focusing on Ms. Caroline's schedule these days. If Caroline comes this afternoon, he can come and translate for us."

"Will there be any leaks?"

"Don't worry, we've already contacted them. They'll come over after lunch."

"How are things going on your end? Is everything going well?"

"It's okay, but I was almost surrounded by everyone just now."

"It's because we don't have experience this time. Next time we come, we'll come a few days in advance to prepare. It's better to set up a partition to prevent onlookers."

"Uncle Zhao, don't think about things so far ahead. I'm going to give you a task now, which is to buy lunch for everyone while there's still time."

"Everyone who brings a lunch box should go to Li Ming and put a label on it. Don't get them mixed up."

It was only after lunch was bought that Song Fuyu finished doing the last person's hair.

"Everyone hurry up and finish lunch. We'll work hard for lunch and won't rest. Let's practice for a while."

"The fashion show officially starts at 2:30. Comrades who are wearing short-sleeved clothes should change into their clothes in advance at 1:30. After changing, be sure to put on your coat immediately to avoid getting cold."

After explaining everything, Song Fuyu quickly finished his lunch and then changed the schedule for this afternoon's activities.

Because Minister Wang was invited over, the original plan needs to be slightly adjusted.

When someone comes to help keep things in order, we have to give him some face and make his presence more prominent.

Song Fuyu was writing something with her head down, when suddenly the white paper was covered by a shadow. She slowly raised her head and saw Ma Wenbo standing in front of her.

"Comrade Song, I heard that your factory is looking for a translator. Actually... I can help."

Ma Wenbo has been paying attention to the situation on their side.

He happened to hear this when Zhao Da was asking if anyone could spare an afternoon as several conference venues were sharing a common translator.

"You went on strike at the steel mill?"

"No, but the steel mill can ask the conference interpreter to help for an afternoon. They won't refuse."

"So you plan to take the salary the steel mill pays you and then come out to take other jobs, right?"

"Isn't Director Chen your father? He should be able to understand if you need help."

"He is my father, but that doesn't mean he has to do this for me."

The reason why she asked Ma Wenbo to help with translation that day was because the trade fair had not started yet, and it would not take her too long, after all, it was just translating two or three sentences.

Later, when their clothing factory had other things that needed translation, they asked Li Ming to find a venue translator.

If the people at the steel plant knew that their translator had been borrowed for an afternoon on personal terms, some would inevitably think too much.

She couldn't do such a dishonest thing.
