Rebirth of Bloody Romance

Zhong Yuemin stood in front of the warehouse, facing a mountain of old clothes, each of which seemed to tell the story of the changes of the times. He frowned and looked through the clothes, as if looking for some possibility.

These clothes are old-fashioned and dull in color. If I sell them directly, I can do it myself. But I am afraid that I can only get a meager income in that case.

However, Zhong Yuemin has more ideas in mind. He wants to give these old items a new life and sell them for a higher price.

"Go get me some paper and pen, and call the people from the design department over." Zhong Yuemin instructed Luo Jianjun who was standing beside him, his voice filled with unquestionable firmness.

Luo Jianjun almost ran away, because he knew that once Zhong Yuemin's idea was formed, no one could stop him. Seeing this, the people behind him gathered around curiously and talked about it among themselves.

"Chief Luo, who is our factory director? I see you support him..." One person hesitated to speak, his words implying doubts about Luo Jianjun's attitude.

Luo Jianjun naturally understood what the other party meant, but he did not explain too much, just smiled faintly. "Our factory director has a great background, but more importantly, his ability and vision. Tell our security department that we should do whatever Factory Director Zhong tells us to do."

The people in the security department gathered together, and when Luo Jianjun gave the order, there was silence. In the past, they were not very friendly to Luo Jianjun, thinking that he was arrogant and looked down on others. But at this moment, Luo Jianjun's attitude towards the new factory director Zhong Yuemin was shocking.

He actually became obedient and even a little fawning, which made everyone very interested in this mysterious new factory director.

Before everyone had time to sort out the clues, Luo Jianjun spoke again: "You two should prepare paper and pencils quickly! I will go and ask the group of uncles and aunts from the design department to come over." His tone was a little anxious, as if he attached great importance to this task.

When Luo Jianjun arrived at the design department, he heard people talking inside. He pushed the door open and found that the people in the design department were gathered together, discussing some news about the new factory director.

"Have you heard? Our new factory manager has suspended the production department." A designer whispered.

"Why?" another designer asked curiously.

"I'm not sure, but I heard that the people in the production department were not very willing to do so."

"Will the wages still be paid?" someone asked with concern.

“It seems that the salary is still being paid.”

"That's OK, at least it doesn't affect our lives."

"But what does this have to do with our design department?" someone else asked in confusion.

Luo Jianjun walked into the design department's office, and the originally noisy room suddenly became silent. Everyone's eyes were focused on this uninvited guest, and the air was filled with a tense and depressing atmosphere.

Luo Jianjun took a deep breath, cleared his throat, and then slowly scanned everyone present with his resolute and steady eyes. His voice was neither loud nor soft, but it carried an unquestionable power. "Comrades, the new factory director has something that needs your assistance. Please come with me to the warehouse."

As soon as Luo Jianjun finished speaking, there was a commotion and whispers in the crowd. Zhang Minjie, the head of the design department, was the first to stand up and express his dissatisfaction.

Zhang Minjie frowned, with a hint of disdain in his tone. "Luo Jianjun, why does the factory director want to see people from our design department? We are responsible for design work, not warehouse managers!"

Luo Jianjun slowly walked up to Zhang Minjie, staring at her with eyes as sharp as a knife. He lowered his voice and warned, "Zhang Minjie, I advise you to be more restrained. It's best to put away your spoiled temper. Our new factory director is not someone you can easily mess with. If you anger him, the consequences will be beyond your ability to bear."

Zhang Minjie's face turned red with anger at Luo Jianjun's words. She widened her eyes and was about to retort.

However, Luo Jianjun did not give her this chance at all. He turned around and strode towards the door with firm and powerful steps, as if showing his determination and decisiveness to everyone.

Zhang Minjie was so angry that she stamped her feet, veins popped out on her forehead, her eyes widened, and her chest rose and fell violently, as if she was about to spit fire! But in the end, she took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

Zhang Minjie knew that Luo Jianjun usually confronted her, but what he said this time was not nonsense. Since the new director had issued an order, she, as the leader of the design department, could not take it lightly.

After a slight adjustment, Zhang Minjie quickly calmed down and led the design department staff to walk towards the warehouse in an orderly manner.

Along the way, Zhang Minjie secretly wondered: Who is this new factory director? What is so special about him that Luo Jianjun is so afraid of him? A series of questions came to his mind, making Zhang Minjie full of curiosity and awe for this new factory director whom he had not yet met.

Inside the warehouse, Luo Jianjun coldly watched the two people working in the security department, who were now surrounding Zhong Yuemin with fawning looks on their faces and showing their courtesy. He couldn't help but secretly despise them in his heart, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

"These two guys who curry favor with the powerful are really realistic! They immediately cling to powerful people as soon as they see them. They are just like fence-sitters who go with the flow."

Luo Jianjun thought to himself. Although he despised the actions of these two people, he also understood that this was just a manifestation of human nature. Faced with such a reality, even if he was full of disdain, he was powerless.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of chaotic footsteps outside the warehouse. It turned out that Zhang Minjie happened to run into Deputy Director Shang and Director Liu who had just returned.

When Deputy Factory Director Shang saw Zhang Minjie, he immediately smiled warmly and took the initiative to greet him. "Chief Zhang, why did you come here in person? Is there anything I can help you with?"

However, surprisingly, Zhang Minjie ignored Deputy Director Shang's greetings and walked straight into the warehouse without even turning his head.

Deputy Director Shang and Director Liu were left standing there, staring at each other, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment. But they quickly regained their composure, as if they were already accustomed to this situation.

In fact, Deputy Director Shang has always felt very aggrieved in this position.

He came from an ordinary family and had no strong background to support him, but this factory was full of people with extraordinary backgrounds.

In such an environment, it is extremely difficult to get promoted. Every step is full of hardships and challenges, and if you are not careful, all your efforts may be wasted.

These people all had some privileges, which made him, the deputy director, feel powerless in many matters. He couldn't afford to offend anyone, so he could only carefully maintain the daily operation of the factory.

Zhang Minjie's attitude made him feel helpless. Although he was the deputy factory director, he often felt like a transparent person in front of Zhang Minjie, a section chief with a strong background and ability. He understood that in this complex factory environment, it would be difficult for him to get real respect without a background.

Zhang Minjie frowned, her face full of dissatisfaction and doubt, and stepped heavily into the warehouse. Her eyes fell directly on Zhong Yuemin who was busy writing and drawing, and her eyes revealed a bit of questioning.

Zhang Minjie cleared his throat, his voice mixed with a little displeasure. "Director Zhong, what exactly do you want us to ask our design department to come over?"

However, Zhong Yuemin seemed to be immersed in a world where only he existed, and turned a deaf ear to Zhang Minjie's words. The pen in his hand kept dancing on the paper, and his eyes were fixed on the flowing lines under the pen tip, as if everything in the outside world had nothing to do with him.

Seeing this, Zhang Minjie's dissatisfaction became stronger. She raised her voice and asked three times in a row, but each time it was like throwing a stone into a bottomless abyss, and she got no response at all. Her face gradually became gloomy, and her body trembled involuntarily, obviously she was very angry.

The atmosphere in the warehouse suddenly became extremely awkward. The design department employees stood quietly by, some lowered their heads and said nothing, while others exchanged glances secretly, obviously all of them were shocked by this sudden cold reception and didn't know what to do.

At this moment, the good-natured Deputy Director Shang stepped forward. He knew Zhang Minjie's temper very well and understood how embarrassing the current situation was for Zhang Minjie.

So, Deputy Director Shang quickly spoke up to smooth things over. "Director Zhong, the entire factory has stopped production now. Do you have any other instructions?"

Deputy Director Shang's words were like a stone falling into a calm lake, instantly breaking the silence in the warehouse. Zhong Yuemin slowly raised his head, his eyes, which were originally focused on drawing, swept over Deputy Director Shang and Shang Minjie, and then gently put down the pen in his hand.

"Director Shang, please help me find a few more skilled craftsmen. In addition, it would be best if you could arrange..." Before Zhong Yuemin could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhang Minjie's furious voice.

Miss Zhang Minjie's temper finally exploded. She pointed her finger at Zhong Yuemin and said in a sharp and piercing voice, "Director Zhong, what do you mean by this? You called us here, but then left us aside. Are you trying to intimidate me?"

Facing Zhang Minjie's questioning, Zhong Yuemin just looked at her quietly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, but soon regained his composure. He asked calmly, "Who are you? Which department do you belong to? What position do you hold?"

Zhang Minjie was speechless for a moment by Zhong Yuemin's sudden question. She had never expected Zhong Yuemin to ask so directly. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down and regain her composure. "I'm the head of the design department, Zhang Minjie." She answered with a little dissatisfaction and unwillingness in her voice.

Zhong Yuemin nodded, his eyes stayed on Zhang Minjie for a while, as if he was trying to recall something. Then, he suddenly said, "Oh, it's you, then how did you become the section chief?"

Zhong Yuemin's words were like a sharp sword, piercing Zhang Minjie's heart. Her face instantly turned pale, her lips trembled, and she wanted to say something, but she couldn't squeeze out a word for a long time. However, Zhong Yuemin was not affected by her reaction at all, and continued to speak according to his own thoughts.

"Okay, stop talking to me about that useless nonsense. I'm not interested in any of your past messes." Zhong Yuemin's voice was calm and firm, like an unstoppable torrent, leaving no room for resistance.

Zhang Minjie was so angry that she almost laughed out loud. She was about to retort, but was interrupted by Zhong Yuemin's next words.

Zhong Yuemin picked up a stack of drawings on the table, handed them to her and said, "These are some design plans I just made based on these clothes. After all, I'm not a professional designer, so there may be many shortcomings, and I need you to modify them. Be quick, time waits for no one!" After saying that, Zhong Yuemin raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing an imperceptible smile.

Zhang Minjie's powder keg was completely ignited, and she angrily retorted, "Director Zhong, do you know what design is? Do you understand design?"

Zhong Yuemin did not avoid the question. He answered frankly, "I don't understand design, but I understand the market and consumers. These clothes cannot be sold because they do not grasp the pulse of the market and do not meet the needs of consumers. The Design Department, as the department responsible for design, cannot escape the blame."

Zhang Minjie's voice was sharp and piercing, full of anger and dissatisfaction: "If the clothes can't be sold, that's the sales department's business. What does it have to do with our design department?" She crossed her arms in front of her chest, her eyes flashing with defiance and provocation.

Faced with Zhang Minjie's questioning, Zhong Yuemin did not get angry or furious. Instead, he looked at her calmly and said calmly, "Okay, stop talking about meaningless nonsense. Go and modify these drawings now." His tone was firm and powerful, with an unquestionable sense of authority.

However, as a person with a temper of a young lady, Zhang Minjie would not be easily persuaded or compromised. She retorted without hesitation, "I can't change!" These three words were like three sharp swords, piercing Zhong Yuemin's heart.

Hearing this, Zhong Yuemin frowned slightly, and his eyes became extremely sharp in an instant. "Can it be changed? If not, get out of here." Although his voice was not loud, every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting Zhang Minjie's heart hard.

How could Zhang Minjie have been treated like this? She had always been a treasure in the palm of someone's hand since she was a child, and no one had ever dared to talk to her like this.

At this moment, her tears flowed down, and her voice was filled with tears. "You, you bully me, I won't do it anymore."

The warehouse suddenly became quiet. Deputy Director Shang looked at Zhang Minjie's back as she left and sighed helplessly. He knew Zhang Minjie's temper and that this incident had dealt a heavy blow to her. But he also knew that Zhong Yuemin did this for the benefit of the factory.

Deputy Director Shang walked up to Zhong Yuemin. "Director Zhong, Section Chief Zhang's home..."

"It's okay, don't worry." Zhong Yuemin responded calmly, as if everything was under control.

Zhong Yuemin turned to look at the remaining design staff. "What about you? Can you make changes?"

"Yes!" one of them responded first.

"Director Zhong, we can do it." Others followed suit and expressed their support.

Zhong Yuemin nodded with satisfaction. "Then hurry back and revise it! This is related to whether we can pay salaries before the New Year, so hurry up."

Afterwards, Zhong Yuemin led Deputy Director Shang out of the warehouse. As soon as they left the warehouse, Deputy Director Shang said worriedly, "I guess there will be a call soon."

Zhong Yuemin stopped and looked back at Deputy Director Shang. "I know what you are worried about, but we have to do this. I can understand Zhang Minjie's emotions, but the interests of the factory cannot be harmed because of personal emotions. If she can't accept it, we can't compromise because of it."

Deputy Director Shang sighed: "I understand what you mean, but Zhang Minjie's family situation is indeed special."

Zhong Yuemin was silent for a moment, then said, "I'll consider it. But before that, we need to make sure that the design department can complete the task as required. If she is really not competent, I will consider other candidates."

After listening to this, Deputy Director Shang nodded, indicating that he understood Zhong Yuemin's decision. After all, Zhong Yuemin has always put the interests of the factory first, and there must be a reason for his decision.

"Director Zhong, what exactly did you ask me to do just now?" Deputy Director Shang asked.

"Well... first of all, we need to find some skilled tailors. They should be able to cleverly transform and design the clothes we have in stock to give them new vitality. Then, we need to find a group of young, beautiful and well-built women." Zhong Yuemin elaborated on his plan in detail.

Hearing this, Deputy Director Shang couldn't help but ask curiously, "Director Zhong, do you have any special arrangements for these female comrades?"

Although he knew that Zhong Yuemin always had his own way of doing things, he still felt a little confused about this request.

The others didn't understand either, but with Zhang Minjie's previous experience as a lesson, they didn't dare to ask more questions.

Zhong Yuemin raised his lips slightly, revealing a confident smile, and explained, "We currently have a backlog of clothing inventory, and their styles and colors may have become a little old. I plan to plan a unique display event to reawaken consumers' interest. These young, beautiful, and well-built lesbians will be the core elements of this display event. They will wear these clothes and act as models to show customers how these clothes actually look when worn."

"Oh? Director Zhong, is this really feasible?" Deputy Director Shang expressed his doubts. He was not sure whether this method could really attract consumers' attention.

"Don't worry! There will be no problem."

At this time, someone came over and said to Deputy Director Shang, "Deputy Director Shang, there's a call for you."

Deputy Director Shang smiled bitterly and looked at Zhong Yuemin. "Director Zhong, do you think I was right?"

"Let's go, I'll go with you."
