Even if Liu Jun was resentful of Song Qing, she was now the supervisor, so he had no choice but to sit down in front of her.
"It seems like Technician Liu had a problem with me before?"
Liu Jun: "..."
He hadn't expected Song Qing to ask so bluntly, just like before, so he could only grit his teeth.
"How could that be? Why would Manager Song think that?"
Song Qing crossed her arms and looked at him with amusement. She said this purely for the sake of saving face. The two of them had been assigned to the same group before, but later became the group leaders of two different groups in the experimental workshop.
I don't even know how many times we've dealt with each other.
"Technician Liu is older and more experienced than me, so you don't need to call me Supervisor Song, just call me Xiao Song."
I'm still young and not very familiar with many things. I hope Technician Liu can provide more guidance if I encounter anything I don't understand in the future.
Liu Jun looked up. He had previously discovered that Song Qing was actually a person with backbone; she would treat you the same way you treated her. He obviously didn't expect her to say such a thing.
"I……"
Song Qing pulled out a few documents from the table and handed them to him, while taking out a piece of dyed fabric from behind her back.
"Technician Liu, does this fabric look familiar?"
Liu Jun held the brightly colored fabric in his hand and examined it for a moment, then hesitated: "...Fabric No. 2."
It was the same fabric that their group had previously used, which was only a few votes lower than fabric number 3.
"As Technician Liu has probably seen, the No. 8 fabric that was just produced in the factory has been dyed. We found that the No. 2 fabric absorbed the dye better."
Liu Jun held several pieces of fabric, wondering what Song Qing meant. He had lost the supervisor position to her because of this fabric.
Seeing the wariness and confusion in Liu Jun's eyes, Song Qing sighed.
"We are all employees of the textile factory, and everything we do is for the benefit of the factory."
The No. 8 fabric is lighter and softer than the one the technician had, but it doesn't absorb color as well.
My idea is to sell the No. 8 fabric in department stores after dyeing, so people can make everyday clothes. The factory will also put the No. 2 fabric back into production; it's more absorbent and thicker, so it can be used for work clothes.
Work clothes should be brightly colored, but also thick and durable.
Liu Jun held the fabric in his hand. He never expected that Song Qing would not only be the first to forgive him, but also want to put the fabric he had developed into production.
What does Technician Liu think?
Researchers are definitely more familiar with the fabrics they design and produce than anyone else.
"If I wanted to make work clothes, I could adjust the proportions of this fabric to further increase its abrasion resistance."
The abrasion resistance of this fabric was reduced in order to improve comfort.
"Okay, then I'll leave it to Technician Liu."
Song Qing also pushed a stack of documents in front of him. Liu Jun glanced at them, and when he looked up again, the shock in his eyes was almost overflowing.
Why does he feel like he's been tricked?
Song Qing gave him a little face, but in the end, she wanted to push more work onto him.
Seeing that Liu Jun's gaze was starting to look strange, Song Qing didn't feel embarrassed at all; she just coughed lightly.
"Then I'll trouble Technician Liu to dye these colors."
She directly searched for information and found the indigo, cerulean, and several other dyes she wanted.
However, following the dye ratio in the materials might not produce the same color, so she planned to hand the task over to Liu Jun.
"I believe that Technician Liu can do it. None of us are very good at it, and it would take more time. We can only trouble Technician Liu."
When Liu Jun walked out of the workshop, his smile had almost completely crumbled.
Everyone knew that he and Song Qing didn't get along, and assumed that the two of them had argued again in the workshop, so no one dared to come up.
Liu Jun gritted his teeth, thinking it would be better to just have a fight.
Song Qing was so kind and gentle, assigning him a bunch of work. As soon as she lowered her head, Liu Jun had no choice but to grit his teeth and accept the work.
When Guan Lian came in, she found that Song Qing was in a good mood and was humming a tune.
"Xiaoqing, what's wrong?"
"Sister Guan, I've already given those colors to Technician Liu. I'm confident he can make them."
Guan Lian chuckled to herself; no wonder she was in such a good mood.
Wang He dislikes Song Qing and Liu Jun. Now that Song Qing has become the supervisor, she hopes that the two of them can fight each other, preferably to the point of mutual destruction.
But to everyone's surprise, Liu Jun obediently accepted Song Qing's work assignment just a few days later.
She thought Liu Jun was very ambitious, but it turns out he's spineless.
"Technician Liu is really amazing. Last time we tried to dye that red fabric, we just couldn't get the color right. It was so dull. But when he came, he added something and the color of that batch of fabric turned out bright."
"The fabric dyed in vat number 7 yesterday didn't show any color at all. The color almost completely came off when it was rinsed in water. He was the one who came and fixed it."
"Sister Song Qing is amazing. I heard that she has led a team to produce a new fabric that is especially comfortable. Now I'm just waiting to see if there are any scraps so I can make a garment out of it."
"Why buy scrap materials? I'll just buy a whole outfit when I get paid."
The man shook his head. "Buy a whole outfit? You have no idea how expensive that fabric is. It's 13 yuan a meter. The most expensive one in the department store is 18 yuan."
"Why is it so expensive?"
"You get what you pay for. You'll see when it's produced. It's no different from the 18-yuan one."
Song Qing and Liu Jun are currently standing in the factory manager's office, facing the factory's salesperson.
The technical staff all thought this fabric could sell for 13 yuan, but the salespeople were afraid that the price was too high and that department stores would not be willing to place an order.
"The 18 yuan one is from Gangcheng. How can our fabric be so expensive? We should improve the quality, lower the price, and improve the cost performance."
Song Qing frowned, disagreeing with her statement.
"Our materials are only worth this much, why wouldn't we dare sell them at this price?"
Liu Jun nodded, "The raw materials for our fabric are expensive to begin with, and the dyes are the most advanced and expensive ones. It's worth the price."
The salespeople thought that tech people were stubborn and that it was up to the customers to decide whether something was worth it. Of course, the two of them thought it was worth it, but what if they couldn't sell it at this price?
“The factory would still make a profit at our original prices. Now we are just giving up some profit in exchange for higher sales volume.”
Shen Chunjiao touched the two pieces of fabric without saying a word for a long time. With the strong support of the factory and the efforts of the technical department, two pieces of colored fabric have finally been produced.
However, the two groups now have their own insistence on pricing.
One side wants to sell at a high price, while the other side wants to reduce profits to increase sales volume.
