Chapter 221 Let’s Make a Bet
On the table was a pair of dolls crocheted with wool, one male and one female, wearing phoenix crowns and bridal robes, with cute facial features and three-dimensional clothes, looking like works of art.
Shen Anan was glad that in her previous life, when her daughter got married, she learned crochet specifically in order to give her a unique gift.
Even now that supplies are scarce, this little couple has used up all the wool she bought from town.
What’s more, there is no bright red wool in the town. The red wool here is dyed by themselves using natural pigments from the mountains.
That day, when she saw the handkerchief embroidered by Xia Chunmei, it suddenly occurred to her that she could let the women in the team earn money by using their handicrafts in their spare time.
Such knitted products, as long as the raw materials are solved, will not affect daily work and can improve the lives of most people.
However, this raw material is indeed a problem, but Shen Anan heard from Deputy Director Zhao before that in addition to the furniture exhibition in the neighboring province, there are some other product exhibitions this time, so she can try her luck this time.
Of course, she was in a hurry to finish the product this time in order to take it to the furniture exhibition and look for opportunities.
The next day, Shen Anan did not delay, packed up her things, especially a pair of knitted dolls separately, and returned to Yu County without stopping.
…
…
The day after Shen Anan arrived in Yu County, he came to the first furniture factory.
Deputy Director Zhao was too busy to attend to everything, so he exchanged a few words with her and then asked his secretary to take her to the factory's design department.
This furniture exhibition will be led by Director Zhu from the first workshop. Of course, Zhao Lei's secretary will also go along, as well as people from the furniture factory's design department.
“Director Shen, this is the design department of our furniture factory.”
"Secretary Li, you're too polite. Just call me Xiao Shen."
“I’d better call you Designer Shen. This furniture exhibition is all thanks to you!”
Secretary Li introduced the furniture exhibition to Shen Anan along the way, and his tone was quite attentive.
Yesterday, Deputy Director Zhao specifically told him to take good care of Director Shen, so he certainly knew the importance of this.
The moment the office door was opened, everyone inside focused their attention on the door.
“Designer Shen, this is the design department of our furniture factory.”
Shen An looked around calmly and found that this so-called design department was not big, and there were only two people in it.
“Minister Wu, this is the external designer of our furniture factory. The furniture for this furniture exhibition is designed by Designer Shen!”
As soon as Secretary Li finished speaking, the middle-aged man sitting at the table inside stood up with a smile.
"It's true that the new generation pushes the old generation forward. Welcome, welcome." Minister Wu stood up and shook hands with Shen Anan with an enthusiastic look.
“No, Minister Wu, you’re welcome.” Shen Anan was a little embarrassed by Secretary Li’s introduction and quickly waved her hands.
With these few tricks, she really can't be called a designer.
A cold snort suddenly sounded from the side.
"Huh, what a joke, who can be a designer?"
Shen Anan turned around and happened to see the disdainful expression of the young man next to her.
"Xiao Sun, what nonsense are you talking about? Designer Shen's talent has been recognized by Deputy Director Zhao. Apologize to him now!"
"Xiao Shen, I'm so sorry for making you feel wronged!" Minister Wu looked at Shen Anan apologetically.
Shen Anan didn't say anything. Minister Wu's words sounded like he was speaking for her, but if you listened carefully, they seemed to be fanning the flames.
Sure enough, the next second, the young man’s expression became even more unconvinced, and he stood up and pointed at Shen Anan.
"What kind of talent can a woman with long hair and little knowledge have?"
"No one has ever seen the furniture she designed. Why do you say it's better than ours?"
"Deputy Director Zhao is not in charge of production, so how can he know what a good design is!" The young man spoke without thinking in a hurry.
"Enough, Sun Tian, you know what you are talking about!" Secretary Li scolded with a dark face.
It’s not that the factory didn’t give them chances. The furniture that failed to be selected twice before were designed by them, which brought shame to the factory.
You have no ability yourself, but you can't stand capable people. What kind of person is this!
He's just a clerk, but he dares to gossip about the deputy factory director. He has absolutely no sense of propriety!
"Okay, Xiao Sun, stop talking!" Minister Wu looked at Secretary Li's expression and quickly pulled Sun Tian aside.
This guy is simply a fool. He just wanted to embarrass this overconfident girl, but he even brought Deputy Director Zhao into the picture.
If Secretary Li tells Deputy Director Zhao this, their design department will suffer the consequences.
Everyone in the factory knows that Deputy Director Zhao is now the confirmed candidate for the position of factory director.
Sun Tian was still a little unconvinced, but Minister Wu glared at him fiercely and made him swallow the words that were about to come out of his throat.
"Designer Shen, please be magnanimous and don't bother with him."
"He's just curious because he's never seen the furniture you designed."
Shen Anan smiled and didn't answer.
This time, the furniture was made by Shen Yuanhao himself because he was afraid of the news leaking out. After it was made, Zhao Lei directly arranged for a car to take it to the neighboring province, so no one had seen it.
But it was somewhat ridiculous that these two people attacked her without any reason.
If they had their own abilities, those two furniture exhibitions wouldn't have been ranked last.
Minister Wu saw that Shen Anan did not respond to his words, and his expression changed a little.
This girl looks weak, but it seems that she is not a good person.
"Don't be so shameless!" Sun Tian took two steps forward angrily.
Shen Anan raised her hands and clapped, "This drama of yours is quite interesting!"
"I haven't said a word since I walked in, and you guys are making trouble and apologizing. I don't know what to say."
"Now you're putting the blame on me again. I'm afraid I'll have a pile of hats soon!"
Minister Wu’s expression was a little ugly, but due to Secretary Li’s presence, he could only say that Shen Anan had misunderstood.
"I know you're not convinced, but it's actually very simple. Since both my and your furniture designs are going to be exhibited at the furniture exhibition, whoever gets a higher score will have a better design."
"But I heard that at the previous furniture exhibition, our furniture factory was among the last few."
"Don't let a woman like me with long hair and little knowledge take the first place!"
“The furniture we designed is definitely better than yours!” Sun Tian glared at Shen Anan and shouted unconvinced.
"Okay, let's make a bet. If my score is high, the design department will apologize to me on the factory radio. How about that?"
"Let's make a bet! If you lose, you'll have to leave our design department!"
"It's a deal!"
Minister Wu pretended to persuade them and then made the bet.
Shen Anan looked at the gloating expression on his face and secretly curled the corners of her mouth, hoping that he would be able to smile when he apologized.
Secretary Li wanted to persuade her, but seeing Shen Anan's confident expression, he didn't say anything.
Oh, I have a feeling that this furniture exhibition will not be very peaceful!
