Lin Maidao: "I have business to be busy with, and there are many things to deal with every day."
Teacher Wang also heard that she had to go to school and be busy with business.
After pondering for a moment, he said: "High school is no better than junior high school, and the knowledge is very difficult.
I'm afraid that you are busy with business and studying, and end up not catching up on both.
You might as well leave the business to your family, concentrate on your studies, and take care of both ends."
Lin Mai smiled bitterly and said: "There are a pair of old people above me, and a child of several years old below me. Who can I leave it to?
Teacher, please rest assured, I will never delay my studies."
Not to mention that she currently has no one to entrust her business with. Even if she did, she wouldn't want to follow the class step by step. The progress is too slow.
She prefers to study by herself at home, where the progress will be much faster and it will ensure that she can graduate from high school in just one year and be ready to enter college.
Teacher Wang frowned displeased.
He dislikes students who talk nonsense the most.
How can it be possible to study while doing business without delaying your studies?
Even a genius would have a hard time doing it.
He asked with a serious expression: "What if I delay my studies?"
Lin Mai said without hesitation: "Then go back to the first year of high school and start over."
Teacher Wang had a thousand words of persuasion in his heart before he could say them out, but Lin Mai's words were all stuck in his throat.
He nodded helplessly and angrily: "That's okay, as long as you don't regret it."
After leaving school, Lin Mai went to the villa.
It’s not easy to cook alone, so why not go to the villa to cook and let everyone eat together?
When she rode her bike to the villa, Grandma Fang had already prepared the ingredients for lunch.
Lin Mai pushed her out of the kitchen: "Grandma, get out quickly. There are two stoves in the kitchen, it's so hot!"
As Grandma Fang walked out, she asked, "Did you order four portions of fresh milk for us?"
This morning the milkman came to deliver fresh milk. She thought she had delivered the wrong milk.
After repeated inquiries, the milkman said it was from Lin Mai. She still didn't believe it, so she asked Lin Mai personally.
Lin Mai smiled and said: "If not me, who else? Even if someone wants to do such a good thing, they still have to get a quota for fresh milk."
Grandma Fang said angrily: "See what you can do, do you have it yourself?"
"Of course, if I don't have it, will my grandparents drink it with peace of mind?"
At noon, as soon as Fang Zhuoran came back from get off work, he went into the kitchen and asked about fresh milk.
Lin Mai told him again what he had said to Grandma Fang.
Fang Zhuoran asked in her ear: "Did you really order fresh milk for yourself? Isn't it made with milk powder?"
The warm breath blew on Lin Mai's ears, and the numb and crisp feeling made people blush and heartbeat.
She said coquettishly: "If you don't believe me, go and check tomorrow morning to see if there is a milkman who can deliver fresh milk to me."
Fang Zhuoran took advantage of the fact that they were alone in the kitchen and secretly bit one of Lin Mai's little ears, which made her even more heartbroken.
After lunch was put on the table, Fu Qiang hurried back.
He held a laboratory test sheet in his hand and said excitedly when he saw Lin Mai: "Aunt Maizi, the results of my dad's bacterial culture have come out!"
"What's the result?" Lin Mai asked hurriedly.
"The doctor said it was a rare bacteria.
This kind of bacteria will engulf the body’s immune cells and cause metabolic abnormalities..."
At this point, he scratched his head: "Actually, I don't understand what the doctor said.
I only understood one sentence. The doctor said that my father's disease is likely to be cured."
Lin Mai smiled and said, "That's good."
Fang Zhuoran took the test sheet in Fu Qiang's hand and read it.
Lin Mai also came over and asked curiously: "What kind of bacteria is it that is so powerful?"
Fang Zhuoran said: "A rare variant of Clostridium tetani.
The fatality rate of this bacteria is very high, and it is a miracle that Fuqiang dad can persist until now without any symptomatic treatment."
"Clostridium tetanus?" Lin Mai asked thoughtfully, "Isn't that caused by wounds on the skin?"
Fang Zhuoran nodded: "Yes, maybe Fuqiang's father's skin was broken at that time, but he didn't take it seriously, and the bacteria took advantage of it."
Grandma Fang invited everyone to come to the table to eat: "If you have anything to say, we are eating and chatting. The food is almost cold."
At the dinner table, Lin Mai mentioned that he had skipped a grade.
Everyone was surprised and congratulated her.
Fu Qiang glanced at her with bright eyes from time to time, his eyes full of admiration.
After eating, Lin Mai went back to his home, took a nap for half an hour, then got up and studied by himself for a while, and it was two o'clock.
She called Chen Feng, Zheng Xudong, and other responsible persons and informed them that they would arrive at Unico Clothing for the meeting within half an hour.
After the announcement, she changed into a small suit and rode her bicycle to Unico Clothing.
The outfit she wore in the morning made her look like a high school student at a glance and was not suitable for the workplace.
From now on, whenever she goes to the factory or store, she will wear professional attire to make herself look more formal.
Tao Zhiyun knew that Lin Mai reported to school this morning and wanted to skip a grade.
When I saw her, I asked: "Did you pass the grade skipping?"
Lin Mai gestured: "Passed."
Tao Zhiyun praised: "Awesome!"
Then he took out two denim backpacks, large and small, and gave them to Lin Mai: "Made with the leftover denim scraps from making clothes, one for you and Doudou."
Lin Mai took it and looked at it.
Both large and small denim bags are exquisitely made.
Doudou’s little denim bag also has a cute little duck with a bow embroidered on it.
Lin Mai was extremely pleasantly surprised: "You are so skillful with your hands, you can even make a backpack!"
Tao Zhiyun rolled his eyes at her: "What's so difficult about this? Isn't it possible to do it with hands?"
Lin Mai pointed to the little duck embroidered on the denim backpack for Doudou: "It must have taken a lot of time to embroider this."
Tao Zhiyun looked at her strangely: "You don't know about machine embroidery, right? Machine embroidery is very fast."
"Ah! I really don't know, what kind of machine do you use to embroider?" Lin Mai asked curiously.
Ren Baozhu on the side smiled: "Of course I use a sewing machine to embroider."
Lin Mai had never learned embroidery in his previous life, nor did he know how to sew.
Ren Baozhu said that it was amazing that the sewing machine could embroider.
Tao Zhiyun said to her: "I just want to add some embroidery elements to the shirts you designed this time.
But I was afraid that multiple embroidery processes would slow down production and affect sales, so I didn’t dare to think about it.”
Lin Mai tried to put on the backpack Tao Zhiyun made for her, and it was quite comfortable: "It will be the same if we add embroidery elements in the future."
Tao Zhiyun nodded: "I added embroidery elements to these clothes for the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Lin Mai took the backpack off his back and asked, "You only made schoolbags for me and Doudou, but didn't you make one for Qiqi as well?"
"I did it." Tao Zhiyun not only took out a small denim backpack, but also took out several denim skirts made of denim tops, a small denim suit, and two denim suits for children.
"This schoolbag and this little denim suit belong to my Qiqi.
These three skirts and this little suit are all yours, and this little denim suit belongs to your Doudou."
Lin Mai was surprised and said: "You have done a lot!"
While talking, I took a look at Qiqi's little schoolbag, which had a little duck embroidered on it.
It's just that this little duck doesn't have a bow tie, which means it's a male duck.
Tao Zhiyun said with a smile: "I didn't let you sell the denim scraps left over from making clothes, just to make clothes for you and the two little guys.
We don’t even have such good denim for sale in inland cities, so it’s a pity that the fabric ends are sold cheaply.”
Lin Mai put down Qiqi's small schoolbag and looked at the small denim suit that Tao Zhiyun made for Qiqi.
A denim top and jeans.
She smiled and said: "I'm afraid none of the children's clothing in the country is made of denim.
Qiqi will definitely be the brightest kid in Jiangcheng if she puts on this set of jeans."
Tao Zhiyun laughed heartily several times.
Lin Mai went to see the denim suit she made for Doudou.
A ruffled top and a three-layered ruffled skirt.
She regretted: "It's a pity that we don't sell children's clothing, otherwise the children's clothing styles you design will definitely be popular!"
Women are all interested in clothing.
Ren Baozhu put down his work and came to watch.
At this time, he couldn't help but urge: "Director Lin, try on your clothes quickly, I can't wait to see them."
Lin Maiwei said: "How can we try? Director Hou is still in the office."
Ren Baozhu immediately drove Hou Xinyi away: "We girls are talking about clothes. Why are you, a grown man, staying here? Get out!"
Hou Xinyi stood up and resisted: "If you talk about personal matters during work hours, your bonus will be deducted!"
After saying this, he honestly left the office and went to the workshop for inspection.
Lin Mai looked sideways at Ren Baozhu: "You drive Director Hou out, but I still can't try. There are no curtains on the office windows."
Tao Zhiyun patted her shoulder: "Okay, don't be pretentious, just put it on and try it on without taking off the clothes underneath."
Lin Mai then smiled and took off her outer suit, put on the denim suit that Tao Zhiyun made for her, and paired it with a long hip-covering A-line skirt with slits.
Ren Baozhu immediately exclaimed: "I didn't expect that a small suit made of denim would look so good on me!
And this A-line skirt with hip slits is also pretty, it’s so feminine!”
Lin Mai also tried on a mid-length A-line skirt without slits and a miniskirt with three layers of ruffles.
The styles of these three denim skirts and denim suits would become commonplace a few decades later, but they were nowhere to be seen in mainland China in this era.
Lin Mai admired him in his heart.
Tao Zhiyun is really talented in designing clothing, and his ideas are very advanced.
She smiled and said: "This three-layer ruffled short skirt is the same style as Doudou's. It can be worn as a parent-child outfit."
Tao Zhiyun asked curiously: "What does parent-child clothing mean?"
Lin Mai explained while taking off the clothes and skirts she was trying on: "Parent-child clothing means that parents and children wear the same style."
She said: "You can also make parent-child costumes for you and Qiqi."
Tao Zhiyun waved his hand: "It's already too much for me to use the fabrics from the factory to make two sets of clothes for Qiqi. How about making them for myself?"
Ren Baozhu suggested: "These denim skirts and suits made by Director Tao are suitable for young women. We can launch these denim clothing styles."
Tao Zhiyun nodded: "That's what I have in mind, and I plan to launch it during the Niuqiu Festival."
While everyone was talking, Chen Feng and others came one after another.
As soon as Chen Feng entered the door, he asked: "Why do you suddenly think of having a meeting?"
Lin Mai packed the clothes and schoolbags and said, "We may have to have a meeting every week in the future."
