Comfortable life in Siheyuan

When we arrived at the gate of the textile factory, it was still quite early.

The security guard at the door saw that Liu Qingshan was a strange man and refused to let him in at first, but Yu Shui still took Liu Qingshan in.

Took Liu Qingshan to the factory office building.

As soon as I got downstairs, I saw Director Lin who was about to go upstairs.

"Director!"

"Aunt Lin!"

He Yushui and Liu Qingshan shouted together.

Director Lin turned around and saw the two of them. Then he walked over with a smile on his face.

"Why are you two here together?" Aunt Lin asked curiously.

"We have known each other since we were young, and we are neighbors in the front and back yards." Yu Shui explained.

“Yes, it was not the rain that brought me in, but the security guards at the door would not let me in.” Liu Qingshan said with a smile.

"You are blaming me. If you are willing to transfer to our factory, we will help you with the procedures now." Director Lin was eager to tie Liu Qingshan to the textile factory.

"Forget it. I'm doing a good job in my own job. There's no need to transfer me here." Liu Qingshan waved his hands quickly.

"Director, Brother Qingshan, you guys chat, I'll go back to work first." Yu Shui greeted them and turned back to the office.

"Okay, go ahead and get busy." Liu Qingshan said.

Director Lin also nodded towards the rain.

"Let's go and sit at my place for a while. It's still early." After saying this, Director Lin went straight to his office.

Liu Qingshan hurriedly followed.

After entering the office, Aunt Lin took out a bag of tea from the drawer.

"Find a place to sit by yourself, don't be polite to me."

Liu Qingshan sat down directly at his desk.

"Auntie, how much foreign exchange did the textile factory earn this time? Tell me!"

Liu Qingshan also had some expectations in his heart.

"Our factory originally had some other production tasks for the first half of this year. But things have changed since the T-shirts you designed were noticed by the leaders above.

All the products were packed and handed over to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for processing.

We don’t have a clear figure for the exact amount yet. But in the past six months, our textile factory workers have worked overtime to produce nearly 30 sets of garments, and the production task has been increasing again and again.”

Liu Qingshan was also a little surprised when he heard this. With the current backward industrial base, a textile factory could produce 30 sets in half a year. This would definitely be a desperate effort to achieve the result.

"Then the textile factory will have to expand and recruit a large number of workers." Liu Qingshan had some guesses. It was impossible for the superiors to remain indifferent to this result.

"Yes, we are already selecting a site. I think the expansion will be around the corner."

"So today's commendation is a factory-wide commendation meeting?"

Everyone in the textile factory worked hard to achieve this result. This should be a large-scale commendation meeting.

"Yes, except for a few people who cannot attend, most of the others have to attend. Moreover, many of those being commended at this commendation meeting are workers." Aunt Lin said happily.

"Auntie Lin, you can also report this to your superiors. Collect and store more goose and duck feathers now. You can make a down jacket in winter. I guess you can also exchange some foreign currency. You can also use these down to make some quilts and sell them together."

After hearing what Liu Qingshan said, Director Lin quickly took notes.

"As for the styles, please design a few for me. I'm relieved to leave this matter to you." Aunt Lin said immediately.

"Okay, I'll start working on this matter when I get back." Liu Qingshan agreed readily.

"I'm saying, are you really not going to come to our factory? If you come here, I can't let you suffer any loss." Director Lin still didn't give up and extended an olive branch again.

"Your place is too far from my home. I just have some experience in design, and I can't do anything else here. Isn't it good like this now?" Liu Qingshan didn't want to ride such a long distance every day, and his wife was pregnant!

"Okay, I won't mention this anymore. You think of some other creative ideas. I'll go see how the preparations are going outside." Director Lin stood up and left the office.

Liu Qingshan stood up, took a pen and paper, and began to write and draw, down jackets and down quilts.

Liu Qingshan, who has a divergent mind, thought of a lot of things, but there were not many things he could produce, so he just made down jackets and down quilts.

He then wrote down our advantages.

The workers are hardworking, dedicated and have low wages, which are absolutely competitive in the international market.

The disadvantages are backward industrial technology and low production efficiency.

If you want to produce leather clothes, you can do it, but the output may be limited unless you use a lot of manpower to make up for it. What if you change to making belts, wallets, and handbags? Can the production speed of these things be faster?

Thinking of this, he wrote it down.

He was so absorbed in his thoughts that he didn't notice that Director Lin had come over and was standing behind him. Looking at his manuscript, he was shocked. It had only been a short while, but Liu Qingshan had already thought so much.

It was only when Liu Qingshan's cup was empty that he noticed someone behind him when he stood up.

"Oh! Aunt Lin, when did you come? You scared me." Liu Qingshan was startled by Director Lin behind him.

"It's been a while. You've thought about this a lot." Director Lin took the manuscript and read it carefully.

"After the meeting is over, don't leave yet. Let's have a small meeting here and have lunch together."

"Okay, now that I'm here, I'll definitely listen to you." Liu Qingshan smiled and acted funny.

The two didn't stay long. It was almost 10 o'clock, so they all went to the Great Hall.

After several days of preparation, the Great Hall is now covered with red cloth and banners, and two big red lanterns are hung on both sides.

The banners read "Warmly welcome leaders of all levels to come and give guidance" and "Celebrate the successful completion of the 100-day hard work of the textile factory".

When we went inside, the entire conference hall was already full of people, and above the stage in the middle were four big words "Appreciation Conference".

Liu Qingshan was just about to find a seat to sit down at the back when he was grabbed by Director Lin.

"You go sit in the front." Director Lin rolled his eyes at him. How could this man be so clueless? There were factory employees sitting in the back, where were you going to get in?

Liu Qingshan walked to the first row and saw that there was no seat available.

Director Lin pointed to the stage, and the three words "Liu Qingshan" were clearly written on the first position from the right.

"How can I sit on the stage? Aren't you forcing me to do something? No, no." Liu Qingshan waved his hands repeatedly.

"Hurry up, we still need to invite people, the leader will be here soon."

Liu Qingshan walked onto the stage reluctantly.

In an instant, he felt countless gazes on his back.

Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

This thing is really a test.

Not long after we sat down, thunderous applause came from the door of the conference hall.
