After breakfast that day, Shen Qinghe stood in front of the eight-immortals table in the main hall, cutting clothes.
Jiang Chunlin was sitting at the door weaving a bamboo basket, and He Xiuyun was sitting opposite him sewing shoes.
The three of them were busy with their own things and no one spoke.
He Xiuyun wanted to speak, so she looked up and opened her mouth, only to see that Shen Qinghe and Lao Si both had their eyes downcast, busy with their own things, and their expressions were very similar.
Suddenly, He Xiuyun felt that her standing here was a bit redundant.
He Xiuyun yawned, "You guys keep busy, I'm a little sleepy, let's go back to the room and lie down for a while."
Shen Qinghe was focused on her own affairs and didn't hear what He Xiuyun said.
Jiang Chunlin looked up at her mother.
This glance made He Xiuyun feel that she had been acting as a kerosene lamp, and the brightest one at that.
His face turned red and he took the unfinished shoes back to his room.
Lian walked and muttered, "I will work in my own room from now on. I thought Qinghe would never go out, so I would have time to sit and chat with her.
But she is not a gossipy person at all. She almost suffocated me to death, and ended up like an old kerosene lamp. Look at the look in Lao Si's eyes."
Jiang Chunlin put down the bamboo basket in his hand and poured a glass of water for Shen Qinghe.
Shen Qinghe was very thirsty, so she saw the teacup and drank from it. It didn't even burn her mouth.
"I've put boiled water in another teacup. Just add some hot water when you drink it." Seeing Shen Qinghe's confusion, Jiang Chunlin explained.
"Thank you!" Shen Qinghe's eyes turned into crescents when she smiled.
Jiang Chunlin couldn't help but stretched out his hand to pinch Shen Qinghe's fair and tender face, but his hand was empty.
"I have to make several sets of clothes today. I just did that last night, so I can't do it during the day." Shen Qinghe staggered back and looked at Jiang Chunlin's big black hand warily.
Jiang Chunlin was speechless, "I'm not a gangster!"
Shen Qinghe really wanted to say yes, but was afraid of angering Jiang Chunlin, so she just laughed.
Jiang Chunlin had no choice but to sit at the door and continue weaving bamboo baskets.
Having a woman who loves to make money, he dare not rest for fear of being outdone.
"Comrade, may I ask if Comrade Shen Qinghe lives here?"
Jiang Chunlin looked up and saw Tang Deliang was stunned for a moment, then stood up, "Yes, what do you want?"
Deputy Director Tang came to see Shen Qinghe in person, and Jiang Chunlin guessed that the deal she had negotiated with the factory might be almost done.
There are many workers in the factory. He knows Deputy Director Tang, but Deputy Director Tang doesn't know him.
He also didn't want to use Shen Qinghe's name to gain favor in front of Deputy Director Tang, so he looked at him with neither servility nor arrogance.
Tang Deliang looked at Jiang Chunlin and felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.
After thinking about it, I guess I saw him on the street.
"Hello, comrade. I am the deputy director of Guanghua Garment Factory. I am here to discuss something with Comrade Xiao Shen." Tang Deliang said with a smile.
Comrade Xiao Shen said that she was married, and the young man in front of her was probably her husband.
His clothes were no different from those of the current rural people, but he had an extraordinary demeanor. After he revealed his identity, there was no sign of flattery in his eyes.
Comrade Xiao Shen has a good vision. This young man will surely achieve something in the future!
Shen Qinghe heard the sound, came out of the house, and met the eyes of Tang Deliang who was standing at the door.
She asked in surprise, "Deputy Director Tang, why are you here?"
"I asked Tang Hao to look for you, but he said he didn't see you. It rained a few days ago, so the roads in the village must be difficult to walk on. I asked someone for your address and came here."
Shen Qinghe hurriedly invited Tang Deliang in, asked him to sit down, and made him a cup of tea.
Tang Deliang looked around the room. It was simple but very clean, just like the feeling Shen Qinghe gave people, very neat.
When Tang Deliang saw that the cloth spread on the Eight Immortals Table had flaws on it, a look of regret flashed in his eyes.
Comrade Shen Qinghe can make such beautiful clothes even with defective fabrics, which shows that she is very skillful.
"Deputy Director Tang, do you have something to talk to me about?" Shen Qinghe asked with a smile, holding a teacup.
Jiang Chunlin moved a stool and sat next to Shen Qinghe, looking at Tang Deliang.
The corners of Tang Deliang's mouth twitched slightly. Xiao Shen's wife looked at him with a defensive look.
What could he, an old man, think of her?
He coughed uncomfortably and made a long story short.
"Comrade Xiao Shen, I have discussed the cooperation you mentioned last time with the factory leadership team. They agree to you being an external designer, and also agree to the remuneration you proposed, but..."
"Just what?" Shen Qinghe asked.
Tang Deliang looked at Shen Qinghe and said, "If the pattern maker in the factory can't make your clothes, I hope you can go to the factory for some advice."
"That's no problem." Shen Qinghe nodded in agreement, then changed the subject, "I also have a condition."
Tang Deliang was stunned and a little displeased.
He had agreed to all the conditions she proposed, so what else did she want to propose?
Shen Qinghe saw that Tang Deliang was unhappy, but she didn't care and continued speaking.
"Deputy Director Tang, Guanghua Garment Factory is such a large factory that the buyers can't open and inspect the cloth every time they purchase it. There are always some cloths with defects. Can you sell these defective cloths to me?"
Tang Deliang was stunned!
There were a lot of defective cloth piled up in the warehouse. Just as Shen Qinghe said, the factory purchased cloth in large quantities, which could not be so fine, so it was inevitable that there would be defective cloth.
But I never thought about selling it.
After thinking for a while, Tang Deliang said, "I have to go back and discuss this with the factory leadership team."
"Deputy Director Tang." Shen Qinghe picked up the kettle to refill Tang Deliang's tea and said with a smile, "Some things are bad if too many people know about them. I know you love the factory and have deep feelings for Guanghua Garment Factory.
Otherwise, you wouldn’t have convinced the factory leadership to hire me as a designer.”
Tang Deliang is not stupid since he can become the deputy factory director.
I immediately understood what Shen Qinghe meant.
Just this time, he had worn out his eloquence just by convincing his colleagues to agree to hire Shen Qinghe as a designer.
If the factory wasn't expanding into overseas markets and there weren't too few styles of clothing, those old stubborn people would never have agreed to hire an external designer.
Thinking about the defective cloths piled there just gathering dust, if they could be sold, it would naturally be a profit for the factory. However, not everyone has his vision.
It is better to have less trouble than more.
Even if the warehouse is full of defective cloth, it does not affect their wages, so why take the risk?
He just had to convince the warehouse manager and the matter would be done.
"Comrade Xiao Shen is not only skillful, but also very smart. I am relieved about this matter. Let me go back and deal with it. Otherwise, how about we sign the contract today?"
As he spoke, Tang Deliang took the contract out of his briefcase and placed it in front of Shen Qinghe.
Shen Qinghe did not flip through the contract. She put her little hand on it and looked at Tang Deliang with a smile.
"Deputy Director Tang, there's no rush for the contract. As long as you agree to the conditions I just mentioned, I'll sign the contract immediately. I'll be able to give you a batch of design drawings the next day after the contract takes effect."
Tang Deliang, "..."
This woman is not easy to fool because she won't show her eagle until she sees the rabbit.
