Chapter 152: Qihang Garment Factory
"Sigh~"
Seeing Lu Xiaohua looking like he was ready to fly high, Zhou Ruoyu felt a pang of irritation. Just as she was about to say something, her stomach churned and she gently stroked her belly, glared at the busy figure in the kitchen, and said hatefully, "Nothing is better! I hope you mean what you say!"
It was almost the twelfth lunar month, Liang Meimei had finished filming her movie, and was now fully focused on shooting a fashion magazine cover.
Having experienced public opinion storms and not being too young, she is particularly careful about her reputation. When shooting magazines, she always chooses her own clothes. It goes without saying that her official clothes are all produced by Luancheng Garment Factory.
Luancheng Garment Factory is now rushing to complete the last batch of women's high-end cotton clothing orders before the New Year. Zhou Ruoyu and Director Zhang have discussed that they will take a holiday early for the New Year after this batch of orders is completed. Her original intention was not to work so hard to make money, but to open the door to a new world for the military wives and prove the value of her existence.
She also asked Director Zhang to register the trademark for the clothing exported by the garment factory, because there are already counterfeit goods on the market, and the materials and quality are simply worlds apart compared to the garments they produce.
Director Zhang's philosophy coincided with hers. In this era, soldiers had a relatively high social status, and the reputation of military families naturally rose accordingly. Therefore, they could not damage the reputation of the products produced by military wives.
It is the same in every era. As long as there are human beings, there will be phenomena of making the fake look real for personal gain.
As for the brand name, Zhou Ruoyu directly chose a brand called "Setting Sail". Brands of this era are all popular and professional, such as "Glory" and "Brightness". As a spoiler who can predict the future, she naturally has to look further ahead.
"set sail--"
Director Zhang stroked his chin in thought. This young military wife, not even twenty years old, kept surprising him. After exchanging glances with Li Ming, he asked, "Comrade Zhou, I'd really like to know the meaning of this name."
"Setting sail means literally! Comrade Chairman has said that women hold up half the sky. We, military wives, must take the lead and prove our strength to the country, the Chairman, and the people!"
Zhou Ruoyu supported her waist with one hand and raised the other hand high. The warm winter sun shone on her through the window, giving her a layer of gold. She looked as majestic and energetic as the female tractor driver in the New Year pictures.
"Well said!" Director Zhang suddenly stood up and applauded.
However, he and Li Ming were sitting at opposite ends of a long bench. When he suddenly stood up, the bench on his side was suspended in the air, and all the weight was on Li Ming's side. Li Ming sat down on his buttocks, and the bench was also overturned and fell on him.
Zhou Ruoyu looked at it and couldn't help laughing. Seeing her laugh, Director Zhang laughed without restraint. The laughter and chatter that filled the entire office was heard by a woman packing bags in the outer room. She rolled her eyes as she listened to the noise inside, and her movements seemed slightly slow.
"What are you doing?"
Zhou Shufen walked over, staring into her eyes, took a look at the situation in the office, and then looked her up and down.
"Li Danfeng, you said you're not that old, so you should focus on serious things. Everyone is making money based on their own abilities and scrambling to get on the machines, but you just stand back. Are you worried about the money?"
Despite Zhou Shufen's harsh ridicule, Li Danfeng smiled guiltily: "I'm not smart enough to learn those things. It would be troublesome if I ruined such good materials. Packing in the back is also a stable and profitable job. I'm content with that, haha."
Laughter was heard again in the office, and Li Danfeng's gaze slipped over again.
"I'm telling you, even if it's the packing job at the back end, I still have to check it carefully. Besides, you haven't packed a single bale of clothes in half a day. Based on our piecework rate, you won't make much money today."
Zhou Shufen even walked over to block her view of the office, pointed at a pile of clothes that had not yet been packed, and called others to help.
"Li Danfeng?" Zhou Ruoyu looked through the employee roster for a long time before stopping at this name.
The roster shows that Li Danfeng is the daughter-in-law of an officer named Xu Fengxiang in the military region's logistics department. She is 28 years old and a native of Luancheng.
"Please help me find out about this Secretary Xu." She pointed to the name on the roster and showed it to Li Guihua.
Li Guihua's strength lies in her ability to gossip about other people's affairs. Since she started working at the garment factory, she has almost forgotten her original profession. Now that Zhou Ruoyu has entrusted her with such an important task, she patted her chest with pride.
"Don't worry about me. I can definitely dig out whatever savings his family has, hehe."
The next morning, Li Guihua came to the office with dark circles under her eyes and complained to Zhou Ruoyu, "I think this should be considered a business trip. I was carrying two cans of food and went to the home of Accountant Lao Wang, who also works in the logistics department, in the middle of the night."
Hearing her say this, I knew that she must have made up her mind, so I smiled and nodded: "How could I not know Sister Guihua's ability? Otherwise, why would I not ask someone else to help me with this instead of you?"
Li Guihua, feeling flattered, couldn't contain her emotions and laughed, "That's right. You won't be able to find out anything even if you ask someone else."
She unceremoniously picked up the large teacup on the table, which contained the warm water that Zhou Ruoyu had just taken a sip of, and gulped it down in three or five gulps.
Wiping her mouth, she began to gather information: Xu Fengxiang, a 35-year-old official in the Logistics Department, had lost his wife to illness a year earlier. His current wife, Li Danfeng, was an introduced second wife, whom he had married less than two months earlier. She had previously worked at the Luancheng Textile Factory, but after marrying Xu Fengxiang, she felt uneasy about the juggling schedule and gave up her job.
"Is that so? It seems like true love. The job at Luancheng Textile Factory is a stable job. I can quit it if I want to."
Zhou Ruoyu seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to be talking to Li Guihua.
Luancheng Textile Factory, haha, others may not be familiar with it, but Zhou Ruoyu is very familiar with it.
Li Guihua remained noncommittal and continued gossiping, "Secretary Xu is several years older than Li Danfeng, and he treats his young wife like a treasure. When someone tried to persuade him to work at the garment factory, he turned it down. I don't know why, but he ended up coming to our factory."
Seeing Zhou Ruoyu's pensive look, Li Guihua seemed to realize something and covered her mouth with her hand and whispered, "I've long noticed that Li Danfeng doesn't seem to be doing her job properly. She's just looking around and watching the fun. How about I find a fault with her and send her off?"
Zhou Ruoyu came back to her senses and smiled: "She finally persuaded her man to come here, and she hasn't gotten what she wanted yet, so how could she leave so easily?"
