"Master Zhang, please don't do this. You're an elder. You're making us feel so uncomfortable," Hua Qingqing said as she gently helped Master Zhang back to his seat. Her movements were so gentle that she showed meticulous care and concern.
Was this just an ordinary old man?
No, he was a future talent for her factory!
With such excellent craftsmanship, his skills should be fully utilized in her factory!
In an instant, a plan took shape in Hua Qingqing's mind. Her eyes sparkled with a bright light as she smiled.
"Master Zhang, since you have such wonderful skills, how about discussing a cooperation with me? I can guarantee that my factory will take care of you for the rest of your life."
Hua Qingqing was straightforward, knowing that the old man in front of her would appreciate this kind of talk.
Just now, Zhou Cai had revealed a lot. Master Zhang used to be an embroidery maid in a landlord's family. Now, at such an old age, he was still worried about the firewood money for winter. It was very likely that he had no children or had family burdens.
It was perfect! She loved talents and was willing to support them.
As soon as Hua Qingqing finished speaking, Zhou Cai also looked over.
Master Zhang was stunned for a few seconds before reacting. "What do you mean?"
Hua Qingqing beamed with excitement. Her lips curled up slightly as she spoke in a gentle tone. "You know, the three styles of ladies' bags are new products our factory is about to launch. Their production process is quite complex, and one of their trademarks is hand - embroidery."
"Originally, I planned to find some people to do the embroidery work specifically. But talents are hard to come by. I even thought that I would search far and wide to find embroidery masters for our factory! Then Uncle Zhou found you. Isn't this fate?"
"Your skills are so good. Why should I look for others when you're right here?"
Hearing this, Zhou Cai understood and echoed the young factory director.
"Qingqing always keeps her word. With her guarantee, you really don't have to worry about anything."
He knew about Master Zhang's family situation. It was tough!
The reason he found Master Zhang was partly because he was worried that this old embroidery master with superb skills might not be able to make ends meet.
Zhang Nanyin wasn't a person who would get entangled easily. Although she was old, she wasn't stupid. What this young girl said was just like her previous job as an embroidery maid in a wealthy family, right?
When she was young, she learned excellent embroidery skills from her master. Later, relying on her talent, she made a living by embroidery. But due to the turbulent situation of the country, she ended up as a small embroidery maid in a wealthy family. She stayed there for several years thanks to her excellent skills. Then, the wealthy family declined. Everyone died, except for a young miss with a lame leg. The old lady of the family had been kind to her, so she took the young miss and wandered around. They regarded each other as mother and daughter.
Now her hair was gray, and she was on the verge of death.
What would happen to her lame daughter at home in the future?
She had to find a way out for her.
Zhang Nanyin didn't hesitate for long and agreed. Then she said anxiously, "I have a request. I want to take my daughter with me. Her embroidery skills are also good. You won't lose out."
Hua Qingqing clapped her hands cheerfully. "That's great! The newly - established group can't rely on just the two of you. So, Master Zhang, you'll be the teacher in the group. I'll recruit some people with basic skills, and you can teach them. These bags are going to be sold all over the country, so we can't miss out on making money."
Hua Qingqing finished speaking in one breath, pretending not to notice Master Zhang's hesitant expression.
Zhang Nanyin secretly felt lucky that she hadn't said anything extra just now. Otherwise, she would have been embarrassed.
Originally, she wanted to say that she and her daughter could handle it alone. But she never expected that this young factory director was doing business across the country. It was indeed impossible for her and Yinzhu to handle the production volume of the whole factory. Even if they embroidered until they went blind and their hands broke, they couldn't finish all the work.
Fortunately, she didn't say too much, or she would have just annoyed others.
This conversation ended happily.
Hua Qingqing asked Master Zhang to bring his daughter to the factory for registration in a few days.
The goods in the capital had been sold out, and a new batch had been ordered for stock. Yang Wang had taken 500 pieces of goods to Shanghai, and they had been sold out quickly. He had also directly negotiated a cooperation. Now, after the factory finished making the batch for the capital, it had to make the batch for Shanghai.
The factory was very busy. The sewing machines were almost overheating.
The goods in the capital were sold directly by the factory, managed by the Guang siblings. The goods in Shanghai were sold through a distributor. The prices were different, but there were also many rich people in Shanghai. The boss directly ordered 3000 pieces and even signed the order for the next batch.
Seeing that the boss was so straightforward, Hua Qingqing directly offered a relatively low purchase price.
Yang Wang was going to take the deposit back to Nan County. The Guang siblings from the capital would also come next month.
With sufficient funds, the factory should be renovated.
Expand the site, add machines, conduct new interviews, and recruit more workers.
Prepare for the new products.
After all these were finalized, it had become completely cold.
Hua Qingqing went back to the Yu family less often. She rented a house in the county and lived there when she didn't go back.
Originally, there was a batch of bungalow dormitories in the machinery factory. When the factory was reopened, they were specially repaired for the workers to take lunch breaks. Yu Linxiu left the supply and marketing cooperative and moved out of the dormitory there and into the factory dormitory.
Hua Qingqing didn't live in the factory.
Since that incident, she didn't often appear in the factory.
However, the Guang siblings were about to come from the capital. She would have to take them around the factory at that time.
Hua Qingqing rode her bike back to the Yu family.
During this period, many things had been sent to her from the capital and Hong Kong. The twins helped her take them back whenever they were free.
The biting cold wind numbed her face. Hua Qingqing got off the bike and rubbed her face hard. She had rushed out today and only remembered that she hadn't worn her cold - proof gear when she was halfway there!
It was so cold.
It was estimated that the first snow of this year would come soon.
After Hua Qingqing entered the door, she stomped her feet hard.
The door of the second branch suddenly opened. Yu Linyang must have come out after hearing the sound.
As soon as he saw her, he greeted her quickly.
"Cousin, the parcels we helped you get are all in the room. Go and have a look yourself. Here, I'm returning the key to you."
Since she didn't come back often, she simply gave the key to the twins. She asked them to go to the post office to pick up the parcels every month, clean her room, and take care of it. Each of them would get five yuan a month.
The twins were very happy to do this job.
Hua Qingqing's fingers itched. She grabbed the key in her hand. After the cold feeling disappeared, when she entered the room, she twitched the corner of her mouth at Yu Linyang, who was grinning foolishly.
"I brought some food back for you. Get it from the bike by yourself."
Yu Linyang cheered and took down the mesh bag on the bike's handlebar and hugged it to look.
Suddenly, the door behind him was knocked twice.
Yu Linyang reluctantly withdrew his hand that was reaching for the steamed buns and went to open the door first.
"Who is it..."
When he saw the person outside clearly, Yu Linyang swallowed the rest of his words. The things in his hand fell to the ground with a thud. The round white steamed buns rolled on the ground.
Yu Linyun had just walked out of the door. Seeing this scene, she was so angry that she shouted.
"Quickly pick up the steamed buns!"
Yu Linyang wanted to cry but had no tears. Sister, you should consider the occasion before you think about eating!
