One person goes to the retirement home, and comes back as two people.
Yes, she coaxed Sister Hong to ask for leave and go back to the army with her to stay for two days.
You don't have to worry about a place to sleep, as Qijia has a ready-made guest room. All you need to do is put on clean sheets and quilts.
Sister Hong was a little reserved at first, but after Qi Sisi looked at her lovingly with her big watery eyes, she could no longer refuse.
"Will this be too much trouble for you?"
This is Sister Hong’s only concern.
"I can stay at the guesthouse. Didn't you say it's not far away?"
"How can that be the same? You can live in my house, but you can sleep with me, and we can have breakfast together, etc. How convenient!"
If Sister Hong lived in the guesthouse, they wouldn't be able to talk about sewing together. They would have to run away sooner or later, which was very troublesome.
"My parents are very kind. They have known you for a long time and have been looking forward to meeting you!" Qi Sisi advised again.
Only then did Sister Hong hesitantly respond.
Deputy Commander Qi is in such a high position and was able to raise a child like Sisi. Sister Hong believes that they will not have difficulty getting along with each other. She is just afraid that she will cause trouble... She feels a little embarrassed.
She had seldom socialized in recent years, being concerned about her reputation. As time went on, she gradually forgot how to interact with others... If Sisi hadn't been so likable, they wouldn't have gotten to know each other so well.
"Don't worry! I'm here!"
Knowing that Sister Hong was introverted, Qi Sisi patted her chest and promised that she would not go back to the family building at that time, but would stay at home with Sister Hong so that she would not feel uncomfortable.
......
Arrived at Qi's house.
The embarrassing scenes that Sister Hong had expected did not occur. Old Qi and Qi's mother had to go to work and did not even come home for lunch. The house was empty.
Qi Sisi took her around and introduced every room so that Sister Hong could get familiar with them as quickly as possible.
"I watch TV at home, listen to news replays and music during the day, and go to my workshop, where the clothes you made for me are hung."
Sister Hong became interested immediately after hearing this.
I immediately said I wanted to see it.
Of course Qi Sisi would not refuse. Her workshop was locked, and her parents would not go in when she was not at home.
Except Qi Sisi, no one else can enter.
After all, people often come to watch TV at home, so locking the workroom can prevent privacy leaks.
The old couple knew that the clothes made by the daughter of a noble family could be sold for money, not to mention that there were some private clothes for women in the collection......
Qi Sisi made some underwear during this period, all of which were sexy in style. In order to satisfy her own little hobby, she kept them secretly and didn't let anyone know.
I was worried that other people wouldn’t be able to accept it, so I didn’t think about selling it and just kept it for myself.
"This?"
Sister Hong was holding a thin lace bra with her eyes wide open. It was just a thin layer, and it looked like a bra, what could it cover?
"Ahem, fun!"
Qi Sisi felt both embarrassed and proud.
In addition to the white version, there is also a black version, which is absolutely sexy and tempting.
Sister Hong shook her head and said nothing more.
She is old and doesn't understand young people.
"This is the pattern I drew for fall and winter pajamas. What do you think of it?"
“It’s pretty good, but a little labor intensive.”
Sister Hong didn't look pleased.
A pair of pajamas should just be comfortable to wear. Adding so much embroidery on it will only affect the touch. Is it worth the effort?
"It's about time..."
Qi Sisi also knows this problem.
"So I don't think we can do this job by ourselves, but we can consider asking the troops to work together."
"ah?"
Sister Hong didn't expect that she would have this idea.
After a moment's pause, he said, "Are you sure? Is the leader satisfied? The army doesn't have that many people, right? Is there a funding problem?"
Qi Sisi frowned slightly.
It is not difficult to convince the leaders. As for what Sister Hong said about insufficient manpower, there are so many military dependents, aren’t they ready-made manpower?
Funds... She believed that the army was not short of money. If they were short of money, they could raise funds and invest in the company.
Zhao Xingyu's savings of more than 100,000 yuan was enough for him to open a factory. The only thing he lacked was an official identity, and Qi Sisi was worried about getting into trouble, so she didn't consider it.
"Nowadays, everyone is encouraging individual entrepreneurs. Besides, if the army is short of money, they will support us even more."
If this business can take off, the troops will naturally receive a share of the income.
"At the very least, we can solve the employment problems of so many military dependents and even recruit veterans. Isn't this a good thing?"
Sister Hong smiled bitterly.
"Your ideas are all good, but what if you can't do them?" By then, Qi Sisi, who took the lead in this matter, will become the target of public criticism.
Not to mention the military leaders' disapproval of her, the military dependents would hate her to death.
Sister Hong's concern made Qi Sisi silent.
"So, this can't be done?"
She was also a little hesitant.
She is sure that these things are feasible, but she cannot guarantee that they will go smoothly. After all, the business world is like a battlefield, and no one can guarantee a steady victory.
She had previously tried to start a clothing business, but not only did she not make many sales, she almost got herself into trouble.
Being in the military is a kind of protection, but also a shackle.
Sister Hong had no choice but to say, "It would be fine if someone else took the lead. You can't be the leader in this matter."
If she were just a partner, Qi Sisi would feel a lot less pressure.
Otherwise, she would rather Qi Sisi didn't set up such a big stall.
Sister Hong certainly knew that this was a great undertaking that could help the troops increase their income and solve the work difficulties of military families, but she hoped that Qi Sisi would be fine even more.
If it works out, it would be great. If not, Qi Sisi would be singled out as the culprit and be cursed.
That's human nature.
"All right."
Qi Sisi thought about it and felt that Sister Hong was right.
We need to find someone, preferably someone with some reputation in the business, to be the manager, and she will be responsible for design and property management.
Suddenly, Qi Sisi thought of Zhao Xingyu.
I heard that his maternal ancestors were wealthy, and one of their branches fled abroad, and they were doing pretty well...
If, at this juncture when we are actively importing foreign exchange, the other party is willing to return to our country to invest in a joint venture factory, it should be a good thing that everyone wants, right?
"Sister Hong, I will consider what you said. I have some ideas now. I will discuss it with my husband later. We can talk about it later."
Qi Sisi thought of a solution and a smile appeared on his face again.
Seeing that she had been persuaded, Sister Hong said nothing more.
"If these patterns were printed, it would save a lot of trouble."
Qi Sisi shook her head and said with a smile, "No, I plan to make these for my family to wear. What you said just now makes a lot of sense. The embroidery looks good, but the comfort level is greatly reduced. It is not qualified for a pair of pajamas."
She planned to make bathrobe-style pajamas that would be warm and comfortable in the winter with a furry texture.
Like a jacket, it is very convenient to wear it with a belt.
"Now that you mention it, I feel it's a pity again." Sister Hong sighed.
Those pajamas are really beautiful.
"There's nothing we can do. Our craftsmanship is not advanced enough yet."
In a few decades, it will not just be embroidery, but pajamas can be made directly into various soft and cute animal shapes, which are both cute and warm.
When Sister Hong heard this, she looked at her in confusion. From Xiao Qi's tone, it seemed as if she was very sure that she could achieve this kind of craftsmanship.
Just like seeing it with your own eyes?
"Good sister, don't mention this."
Qi Sisi pulled her arm and acted coquettishly.
