As soon as six o'clock arrived in the morning, Lin Mai got up on time.
After washing up, I went downstairs to buy a newspaper.
After getting the newspaper, she searched for Niu Lili's article about yesterday's follow-up report on who plagiarised Unique Clothing and Seaman.
However, they discovered that the headline on the front page was an article written by Niu Lili about yesterday's newspaper reporting the calls from the masses to the secretary of the provincial party committee.
She looked at it with interest.
When I saw Director Hu from the National Development and Reform Commission being investigated by the Commission for Discipline Inspection, I felt very happy.
Guan Yonghua's protective umbrella is gone, let's see how he suppresses himself in the future!
She continued to read the newspaper and soon found an article on Niu Lili's follow-up report on the plagiarism incident in the People's Livelihood section.
Niu Lili said in the article that as soon as the article about the interview with Seaman CEO Guan Yonghua appeared in the newspaper yesterday, Lin Mai, the director of Unique Clothing Factory, approached the newspaper.
It has been repeatedly stated that Unique did not copy Xiximan’s clothing, but Ximan’s clothing copied Unique’s clothing.
She also asked reporters to accompany her to the court to sue Seaman's boss Guan Yonghua for defamation.
Demand a public apology in the newspaper and restore Unique's reputation.
Niu Lili wrote at the end of the article, we will wait and see who plagiarized whom!
The corners of Lin Mai's mouth curled up slightly.
I wonder if Guan Yonghua and Wang Rong will panic after seeing this report.
Guan Yonghua didn't panic at all when he saw this article, because he had already arranged countermeasures.
He was a little frightened when he saw the article about Director Hu being investigated by the Discipline Inspection Commission.
That article mentioned that Director Hu was trying his best to suppress Unique Clothing because he bribed Director Hu.
Guan Yonghua is very worried whether he will be sentenced for bribery.
He deliberately took a different approach and came to Jiangcheng to open a garment factory. Didn't he just want to seize the dividends of mainland China's reform and opening up and make a big pot of gold?
But now he has not even earned a small bucket of iron, let alone a large pot of gold.
If he was imprisoned again for bribing an insignificant official, wouldn't he become the laughing stock of his colleagues in Hong Kong?
Although it was less than seven o'clock, Guan Yonghua anxiously dialed the phone number of the legal affairs department he brought from Hong Kong.
This legal counsel is not only proficient in Hong Kong law, but also has a good understanding of mainland law.
The legal officer told Guan Yonghua on the phone that bribery at his level would only involve criticism, education and fines, and would never lead to jail time.
But I suggested that he find a scapegoat as soon as possible to take all the blame.
In order to avoid leaving a bad impression on the leader, it will be difficult for you to do anything in the future.
It's not easy to find a scapegoat.
Guan Yonghua immediately went to Ximan Garment Factory and called sales manager Bi Xing to the office.
He was promised a thousand dollars as a scapegoat.
If the Discipline Inspection Commission investigates, it will be said that he was afraid that he could not complete the sales tasks assigned by the boss, so he bribed Director Hu to suppress Unique Clothing.
The sales manager readily agreed.
Isn't it just criticism and education? You don't have to go to jail and you can get a thousand yuan for free. This is a piece of cake in the sky, and only a fool will not agree!
Having found the scapegoat, Guan Yonghua tapped the newspaper on his desk with his hand, with a disdainful sneer on his face: "If you want me to apologize to you, just dream!"
He asked his secretary to call the legal affairs department and ask him to go to court to sue Lin Mai for defaming him.
Demand that she publicly apologize to him in the newspaper and restore his and Seaman Clothing's reputation.
Watching the legal officer leave, Guan Yonghua felt extremely proud.
Isn't it just toughness? Let's see who laughs last!
At Mrs. Wang's house, Father Rong also saw the two articles about Guan Yonghua.
Suddenly, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and hurriedly asked Wang Rong to go to Guan Yonghua early in the morning and ask him if he had any countermeasures.
Wang Rong went and came back happily soon, telling her parents that Guan Yonghua had already made arrangements and they didn't need to worry.
It took Rong's parents and Rong's mother to put their hearts into their stomachs.
Now that she had nothing to worry about, Rong's mother decided to continue to smear Lin Mai and her Unique in public places.
Today is different from the past. All three members of their family no longer work in state-owned enterprises. Even if Fang Zhuoran takes action, there is nothing that can be done to their family.
In addition, there was Guan Yonghua, a Hong Kong businessman, standing behind them, so they had no worries.
Then take this opportunity to take revenge on that little bitch Lin Mai and please your future son-in-law!
Lin Mai had no idea what Rong's mother was thinking.
Even if she knew, she wouldn't stop her. She wished Rong's mother would make more trouble, the better.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Lin Mai went to the Unique Garment Factory and held an impromptu meeting.
She wanted to know the negative news that Guan Yonghua published in the newspaper yesterday, slandering Unique for plagiarizing Seaman, and how much impact it had on Unique.
Ren Baozhu handed her yesterday's sales report: "The impact is not big.
Consumers don't care who plagiarizes whom, they only care about whose clothing is of good quality and cheap.
Ximan Clothing has no advantage at all in terms of price, and even with the most terrible methods, it can't compete with our Unico Clothing."
Lin Mai nodded with satisfaction and explained: "In this case, then we will increase the price of all our clothes again, as long as the price is two yuan cheaper than Ximan."
Hou Xinyi nodded in agreement.
Ren Baozhu hesitated for a moment and said, "I object."
Lin Mai raised his eyes and looked at her: "The reason for the objection."
"The main reason why sales dropped slightly yesterday is that Ximan Clothing imitated us and gave out gifts when they came.
We were given handkerchiefs from foreign countries when we came. They were more generous than us, so they were given small square scarves to tie around their necks.
According to Ximan Clothing's own promotion, those small square scarves are all imported from Hong Kong and are worth several dollars.
Some customers buy his clothing just to buy his handkerchiefs.
If we raise prices now, we will actually lose our price advantage."
Lin Mai didn't know about this promotion organized by Ximan Clothing.
She was silent for a moment and said, "What's the quality of those small square scarves?"
Ren Baozhu took out a small square scarf and handed it to Lin Mai: "Although it looks like overstocked goods at first glance and looks a bit old-fashioned, the colors are nice and it's made of silk. The quality is not bad."
Lin Mai looked at the small square scarf and returned it to Ren Baozhu: "Then let's not increase the price for the time being."
Anyway, all her clothes are purchased at the lowest price of cloth, so the cost is very low, so it doesn't matter even if the price doesn't increase for the time being.
After the meeting, everyone left the conference room together.
Lin Mai walked to Tao Zhiyun and said to her: "Thank you for the dress you made for me."
Tao Zhiyun turned a deaf ear and didn't respond at all, feeling a little lost.
Lin Mai noticed something was wrong with her and frowned: "Did something happen?"
Tao Zhiyun was still immersed in his own world and did not respond.
It wasn't until Lin Mai patted her several times that she woke up and asked blankly: "Is something wrong?"
Lin Mai repeated what he just said again, frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Tao Zhiyun smoothed the broken hair around his ears and smiled: "I'm fine, I just have something I don't know whether I should tell you or not."
Lin Mai glanced at her: "You and I are talking to each other. Is there anything we can't talk about?"
Tao Zhiyun then said: "I just want you to change the kindergarten's start and end times.
If the school start time is set at 7:30 in the morning and the end time is set at 6 p.m., I think those working parents will be very happy."
In his previous life, Lin Mai also saw complaints from kindergarten and elementary school parents online.
It is said that the school's starting and ending times are not humane.
The time when students go to school coincides with the time when parents go to work.
The time when students get out of school is also the time when parents get off work.
It is not at all convenient for parents to take their children to and from school.
She had no children in her previous life, so she didn't feel deeply about it.
Although there are Doudou in this life, the main force picking up Doudou is Grandpa Fang and his wife, so they don't feel much.
She patted Tao Zhiyun's arm: "I think it's such a big deal that it's worth your while. I'll go tell the director right away."
After that, he went to his office, took his bag and left.
Not far away, a pair of eyes were secretly watching Lin Mai and Tao Zhiyun.
Lin Mai rode his bicycle to Xiaohonghua Kindergarten and asked the principal to adjust the time for school and after school.
He also asked the principal to inform all employees that their wages would be raised by five yuan.
Employees were asked to work an extra hour every day, and their wages were raised accordingly. Everyone from the principal to the employees had no objections.
