"Director Zhao, are the people in your factory always so enthusiastic?"

"Haha, they are much more enthusiastic to see Fu Yu than to see me."

"Sometimes when I went to inspect the group, they were so busy that they didn't even bother to pay attention to me. They didn't even raise their eyelids, let alone say hello."

Zhao Da has become accustomed to this kind of differential treatment.

"Uncle Zhao, have you started making plans for the July trade show? There's only a little over a month left."

"We've already discussed it. This time, Hongbing and I should go together, and we'll bring a few more people with us. Your Aunt Fang won't go this time. She'll stay in the factory to manage production."

"What about you? Who's going? Let's book it in advance and buy the tickets together."

"We haven't agreed on that yet."

"Fu Yu, let Aihua go this time, I'll go next time."

"Why? Didn't you just say in the car that you wanted to go to Guangshi?"

"There will be opportunities in the future."

"I don't know many words at the moment, so I'll just be a hindrance this time. I'll try to learn more words before I go to Hai City next time. I also have to learn arithmetic. I can't ask everything."

She really wanted to go, but she was very clear about her own limitations.

After dinner, Zhao Da took them to inspect the workshops. Although it was called an inspection, he actually checked the production status of their clothes in each workshop.

"Fu Yu, are these the clothes you bought last time at Hai Market?"

"Well, last time we were in a hurry, and we mainly made winter clothes, which was relatively troublesome to make. We had to check them more carefully, and we couldn't be careless in the quality of the clothes."

After a round of inspection, they found some unqualified clothes, not many, but they existed.

“None of these will work.”

"There's something wrong with the seams. They'll tear after a short time of wearing."

"Anyone would be annoyed if they spend tens of thousands of dollars on a piece of clothing that easily unravels."

"I will call the team leader responsible for this batch of numbers now and have them sent back for redoing."

The garment factory had previously listened to Song Fuyu's advice and implemented assembly line work. At the same time, it divided employees into small groups. Each group used different clothing labels, so that clothes that failed the inspection could be quickly assigned to the group and the producer who made the unqualified clothes could be found.

"Not only do we have to send them back for redoing, but we also have to retrain the people responsible for inspection. If we find some unqualified clothes every time we re-inspect, wouldn't that be the same as not having inspected them before?"

After the inspection, Zhao Da took them to the warehouse where the fabrics were stored.

"Last week, the textile factory shipped out a batch of newly produced cloth. I heard that you know the factory director?"

"Yes, Director Sun's daughter is my friend. I made the dress she wore for her wedding."

"I see. Director Sun mentioned it to me the other day. I don't know if you two really know each other or just pretended to know each other. I just said a few perfunctory words and let it go."

"Their textile factories also benefited from this. They were equally busy and had to produce new cloth for us."

"That's good. It's much better than everyone being idle."

“Have these fabrics been water tested?”

"Don't worry, we made it as soon as it was delivered, and no faded fabric has been found so far."

"That's fine. Light-colored fabrics are fine, but you should be especially careful with dark-colored fabrics, especially red ones. Once they fade, they are likely to spread to other clothes, and they can't be washed out."

She feels that it cannot be overemphasized when it comes to clothing production.

"Mrs. Liu, Sister Big Girl, you must be very strict in checking clothing in the future."

"The clothes produced by our studio are all samples here. We cannot afford any mistakes, and we cannot compromise."

"We will pay more attention in the future and check twice more before shipping it over."

Only after they entered the garment factory did they realize how complicated the process was.

Liu Aihua even took out a small notebook and wrote down what she saw while reading, so as to avoid forgetting it after reading it.

"Ah... it's really not okay if you can't read."

"Then you should work harder and try to learn the characters as soon as possible."

"I'm trying hard, but at my age, my memory is no match for a child."

"I learned from our eldest child, but I was confused and didn't understand it. Our sixth child, who is only four years old, remembers it clearly. Old Liu said that if he continues to learn like this, he won't have to go to primary school anymore and can go directly to middle school."

The hurdle of learning to read has always been around Wu Danniu.

Before she entered the studio, she didn’t think it was a big deal not to know how to read. But after she started working, she realized that she couldn’t handle many things on her own without knowing how to read. Even when the garment factory delivered new materials, she couldn’t do it alone, and had to ask Aihua or other colleagues who could read to help check the material list.

"That's all for today. After dinner, have a good rest tonight. I think we'll have a full day of meetings tomorrow."

"Why isn't Director Cao here today?"

"Lao Cao, he is hiding from people and doesn't dare to come to the factory."

"The director of Yuan City Textile Factory has been trying to stop him recently, wanting us to hand over the production of new fabrics to them. Lao Cao feels that this person is not very reliable and has never wanted to cooperate with their factory."

"It's hard to refuse him in person, so I can only hide. He will definitely come tomorrow."

"Yuan City is about 400 to 500 kilometers away from here. Why are they coming here to join in the fun? It would cost a lot to travel such a long distance back and forth."

"The distance difficulties can be overcome, after all, we are in the same province. As their factory manager said, we are brother factories and should help each other. We would like to help them, but the quality is not up to standard, and even brothers cannot cooperate."

"We'll have dinner at our house tonight. Your aunt Fang has gone home early to prepare."

"Comrade Liu, Comrade Wu, we have arranged for someone to book a room for you in the guesthouse in advance. We will take you there after dinner. Is that okay?"

"Sure, thank you Director Zhao for hosting me."

"Fuyu, you can sleep at home tonight. Xiaoyue knew you were coming over, and she insisted on sleeping with her aunt a few days ago."

"No problem. I miss her too."

"Fu Yu, you and Director Zhao, are you relatives?"

"Didn't I tell you before? Director Zhao is Sister Ziyuan's father-in-law."

“I really haven’t said that.”

It turns out there is this relationship involved.

They previously thought that Fu Yu helped the garment factory sign a large external purchase order, so the factory director treated her like his own niece.

When she arrived at Zhao's house, Zhao Xiaoyue saw her and immediately pounced on her.

"Aunt, I miss you so much. Why didn't you come to see me for so long?"

"I've been busy with work recently, so I don't have time. Look, as soon as I had a break, I came over and brought you some delicious food."

"I thought you had forgotten me."

"How could that be?"

"No matter who you forget, you can never forget our lovely baby Xiaoyue~"
