2. Set up a stall to sell clothes(1/2)
In the family area of Puhai No. 1 Garment Factory, there are more than a dozen tube buildings with old and mottled appearances, witnessing the rise to decline of Puhai No. 1 Garment Factory.
In the afternoon, Liu Dajiang rode his bicycle to carry Xia Yang back here after being discharged from the hospital. Wang Tao went to take Liu Taobao home. Liu Taobao's call of Brother Yang was certainly not for nothing.
Anyone who dares to take advantage of Liu Taobao and bully her in the future must be careful and careful about being put in a sack at night.
Xia Yang's head was still wrapped with white gauze. As soon as he entered the family area, people started talking about it. The three brothers of the Tang family were injured in a fight and were hospitalized. In less than ten minutes, the entire family area would know.
The three Xia Yang brothers have long been accustomed to this.
Narrow corridors, shared water rooms, and shared bathrooms are the characteristics of this type of tube building.
Seeing familiar and unfamiliar environments along the way, Xia Yang felt complicated. Should he continue to live here for three years like in his previous life?
Xia Yang's family has an area of more than thirty square meters. Xia Yang and his three brothers are all tall, so they live in a full house.
Apart from bed and cabinets and other necessities, the house was completely bare. The bicycle was the only and most valuable inheritance left by my adoptive father, Tang Wenhe.
It's not easy to raise three boys these days.
The portrait of my adoptive father Tang Wenhe is still on the cabinet, which can be seen when you enter the door.
When Xia Yang got home, the first thing he did was to wipe the portrait of his adoptive father Tang Wenhe clean and spotless, and then put it upright, facing the whole family, so that the old but elegant adoptive father Tang Wenhe on the portrait could still be seen every day.
We can see the three brothers.
"Stay at home and don't run around. Call me when dinner is ready."
After explaining to Liu Dajiang, Xia Yang got into his room and closed the door.
After looking at the closed door, Liu Dajiang still didn't dare to go out. He picked up the dumbbells in the corner and started to lift the iron out of boredom.
He always felt that his eldest brother Xia Yang was a little different today. He didn't let them go to the night market to sell barbecue anymore, and he didn't let them go out and run around.
But he didn't dare to say or ask.
Back in the room, Xia Yang was so familiar with everything in front of him: a wooden bed, which he, who was 1.85 meters tall, could sleep on without exposing his feet, a small desk and a chair, and finally a wardrobe.
These few things make the room a bit crowded.
After looking around, he sat down directly at the small desk and started his old business of designing clothes.
Originally, Xia Yang replaced his adoptive father Tang Wenhe as a transporter in the warehouse of the No. 1 Garment Factory, but Tang Wenhe had studied abroad, so Xia Yang's English was very good. Once he helped a workshop translate English mechanical instructions and repaired a machine, he was transferred to the factory office to do some work.
Chores.
The pressure of life made Xia Yang constantly look for any opportunities, so he taught himself clothing design. Last month, several styles of clothing he designed sold well, and he received a huge reward of fifteen yuan from the factory.
Lying on the desk, he changed the previous design. Half an hour passed. After putting down the pen, Xia Yang's mind came to the sign-in system in his mind. There was a hundred yuan lying quietly in the prize space.
This is the reward for signing in on the first day today.
The system is very user-friendly. There is a special reward space to store rewards, but once the reward items are taken out, they cannot be put back in, and it is naturally impossible to put in non-system items.
Xia Yang took out one hundred yuan, and the old version was 95% new.
One hundred yuan is considered a lot of money in this era. It is almost two months' salary of a worker. If it is enough to just eat and drink, but if you want to do something, it is not enough at all.
Putting the one hundred yuan together with the money on his body, the total is four hundred and thirty-six yuan and seventy cents. In other words, excluding the one hundred yuan as a sign-in reward and the three hundred yuan as compensation, Xia Yang's previous net worth was only thirty.
Six dollars and seven cents.
But there are not many. These days, some people are greedy for one or two more meals of meat after being paid, and at the end of the month they have to borrow rice from others to cook.
At about five o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Tao came back, and Liu Dajiang happened to have the meal ready. After the three brothers finished eating, they were busy with their own things.
Because Xia Yang was not allowed to go to the night market to set up a barbecue stall and was not allowed to run around, Liu Dajiang and Wang Tao had to stay at home, one reading a book and the other continuing to play iron.
The two of them didn't dare to say or ask.
The next day, before going to work, Xia Yang explained again, telling Liu Dajiang and Wang Tao to stay at home and not go anywhere, and then he rode his bicycle to go to work.
Puhai Garment Factory No. 1 is right next to the family area.
Xia Yang rode his bicycle for ten minutes and arrived at the factory office building. He did not go to work in the prototype design office, but went directly to the human resources department because he was not going to work at all today, but came to apply for a leave of absence without pay.
He had already considered it last night. He would take a leave of absence without pay and go overseas to start his own business, selling clothing.
Although I have no capital now, I can help the two brothers Liu Dajiang to get familiar with this industry first.
Today I signed in and got another 100 yuan reward. With this money as a base, the three brothers can have no problem eating, so there is no reason not to try it out.
The factory has begun arranging for older workers to retire early.
The next step was to be laid off, so just as Xia Yang expected, the suspension of pay and employment went smoothly. The factory was eager for more people to go out to look for food and save the factory from paying wages.
After finishing the suspension, he went to the top floor again to thank a leader who transferred him from the warehouse to the factory office.
This leader is Xu Qing, Deputy Director Xu, a beauty who returned from studying in the United States. Before Liu Taobao was transferred here, she was recognized as the most beautiful woman in the entire factory. Of course, no one had the guts to discuss it.
"Please come in."
After hearing the permission from Deputy Director Xu inside, Xia Yang opened the door and walked in.
Xu Qing is reviewing documents.
Even a simple lady's suit cannot hide her delicate figure. She wears thin-rimmed glasses and has a cool and intellectual temperament. At the same time, she also has an aura of being in a high position.
When Xia Yang came in, she only looked up, then lowered her head to continue reading the documents. Then she asked without raising her head, "Xia Yang, what do you want from me?"
"Xuchang, I'm here to say goodbye to you. I just applied for a leave of absence without pay."
Xia Yang replied. He felt a little guilty. He knew that Xu Qing was devoted to the factory and found that he was a talented person. He specially promoted him from a warehouse porter to the factory office, but he chose to leave. To put it harshly, it was a betrayal.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Sure enough, Xu Qing stopped looking at the document, raised her head, her eyes were cold, and she did not hide her anger at being betrayed.
"I'll give you another chance. Now go back to work."
Xia Yang felt even more guilty, but he had no way out.
In his previous life, he worked in the factory for three years because of Xu Qing's support. It was not until the two brothers Liu Dajiang and Wang Tao were imprisoned that he resolutely resigned and went to work, working hard to make money. Waiting for Liu Dajiang and Wang Tao to
Only when people come out can they have the money to get them back on the right path.
An elder brother is like a father. If he didn't do it well in the last life, he must do it well in this life.
"Director Xu, I'm sorry. You know the situation at home. My two younger brothers are more playful. If I stay in the factory any longer, something will happen to them sooner or later."
Xia Yang knew that Xu Qing had a good background, so he didn't want to get too serious with her, so he played a trick to gain sympathy.
Women are usually the most compassionate.
Sure enough, Xu Qing's expression finally calmed down. Yes, the three brothers can barely make ends meet with the salary earned by the eldest brother Xia Yang, let alone get married. Now, getting married is no longer a three-step process, but four big things, TV,
Washing machine, refrigerator, air conditioner, and one big item on the premises, a house.
"What are you going to do when you resign?"
The office was silent for a while, then Xu Qing asked.
"I only know a little bit about the clothing industry for the time being, so I plan to start a clothing business, buy cheap clothes, and then sell them wholesale or retail to make a profit."
Xia Yang told the truth.
Xu Qing became interested, "You can sell the clothes in our warehouse. You are a factory employee, so you don't have to pay the full price. You can pay half of the price first, and then pay back the money after the clothes are sold out."
There are mountains of clothes in the factory warehouse, but unfortunately most of the styles are too old to be sold.
Xia Yang had already expected that Xu Qing would make such a request when he learned that he was going to sell clothes, so he had already laid the groundwork.
"Director Xu, I only want very cheap clothes, otherwise I will lose money."
Xu Qing suddenly fell silent. She knew very well how high the cost of clothes from her own factory was, and they were not cheap at all.
Xia Yang hesitated for a moment, then persuaded, "Director Xu, it's best to get rid of some old-style clothes in our warehouse as soon as possible to recover some losses, otherwise they will become less valuable the longer they are kept."
Nowadays, unlike a few years ago, just having clothes to wear is enough. With the reform and rapid social development, people not only need to have clothes to wear, but also look good in them.
Therefore, those old-fashioned clothes in the warehouse will be given away and no one will want them if they are not disposed of promptly.
Xu Qing rubbed her smooth forehead with a headache. She naturally knew this, but it was not something she, the deputy director, could decide.
"Xia Yang, thank you for your advice. I wish you all the best. When you get rich, don't forget to help our factory."
Xu Qing stretched out her hand to shake Xia Yang's hand.
"Director Xu, you praise me so much. I will remember your support for me for the rest of my life."
"You will keep it in your heart for the rest of your life, and you want to leave?"
Xu Qing made a little joke because she was separated from the superior-subordinate relationship in terms of status.
Xia Yang also felt relaxed when he spoke like this, "It's not like I won't come back after I leave. As long as Director Xu is here, I will never forget this place."
Xu Qing is the only one in the whole factory who really wants to run the factory well.
"I hope you keep your word and don't forget about our factory when you get rich."
Xu Juan secretly felt regretful that another talent had left. Xia Yang had already proven his talent in clothing design, but it was a pity that the factory could not retain him.
………
After Xia Yang left, within half an hour, word spread throughout the first garment factory that Xia Yang, who was favored by Deputy Factory Director Xu, resigned and went to work.
In the third workshop, Liu Taobao was sewing clothes on the flat machine. He heard several girls around him talking about the handsome boy Xia Yang going to work, and that there would be another handsome boy missing from the factory, etc.
