When Lin Mai left Wujiacun that day, she stopped her on the way and wanted to ask her to buy Rujia's agricultural products, but she was rejected.
After returning home, Wu Xiaotao packed up her things without stopping.
The next day before dawn, he secretly ran away from home and went to Jiangcheng.
Wu Xiaotao has her own ideas.
Isn't it because Lin Mai is living a good life now because he has carved a way in Jiangcheng?
The little bitch can make a difference in Jiangcheng, why can't she?
Why should I stay in the country to raise my younger siblings?
Her younger sister Xiaoxing and younger brother Xiaozhu are not much younger than her, and it’s not like they can’t do farm work to support themselves, so let them be self-reliant.
After arriving in Jiangcheng, Wu Xiaotao went to seek refuge with a distant aunt, hoping to show off his skills in Jiangcheng.
But suddenly she discovered that she knew nothing and could only work as a nanny in a dual-income family, with food and accommodation included, and a monthly salary of ten yuan.
She had just gone to Fuduoduo to buy groceries for her employer's family and passed by the Jinxiu Garment Factory.
From afar, I saw Lin Mai, dressed in glamorous clothes, entering the Jinxiu Garment Factory.
She sneaked over curiously and saw that the guard uncle was respectful to Lin Mai, and she became more and more confused.
When she heard the guard uncle asking her, she smiled and shook her head: "I'm fine, I just want to ask the uncle who the girl who just came in is."
The guard uncle decided in his heart that Wu Xiaotao was not a good person, so he didn't speak so nicely:
"Why are you asking about my factory manager? Is there some evil intention?
Get out of here, or I'll let the dog bite you!"
Wu Xiaotao was scolded and left, but he didn't bother to get angry, let alone curse the guard.
All I could think about was that Lin Mai was actually the director of Jinxiu Garment Factory!
Although she has only been in the city for about a month, she visits shopping malls whenever she has time, so she knows the brand Jinxiu Clothing.
She dreams of buying a winter coat produced by Jinxiu Clothing, but unfortunately she has no money~
Thinking that Lin Mai was doing so well, she felt as if a knife was filing back and forth in her heart.
…
When she arrived at the factory, the first thing Lin Mai did was to hold a small meeting to understand the operation of the garment factory during her absence.
Although she was in the United States, she called Ren Baozhu and others from time to time to understand the situation.
But at that time, she was mainly focused on the Rongxi multinational company left to him by Fang Zhuoran's aunt, and it was inevitable that she would be neglected in her own clothing factory.
The first thing Lin Mai asked was the adverse impact on sales caused by the name change of the garment factory.
Ren Baozhu said: "Adverse effects? It seems there are none.
It has had a good impact, our winter clothes are selling well.
Especially mountaineering clothes with hoods are in short supply.
The state-owned garment factories that we cooperate with for contract processing were originally asked to suspend production for a period of time and wait until New Year's Eve to resume work.
But just because our winter clothing sales were so good, we asked them to resume work last week."
Lin Mai was quite surprised: "How did you manage to keep sales rising even after changing the name?"
Everyone pointed at Sun Yunhong with their eyes: "It's Minister Sun who has done a good job in public relations."
Lin Maixiao looked at Sun Yunhong: "Tell me, how did you come up with the idea of public relations and how did you do it?"
Sun Yunhong smiled shyly: "Mr. Lin launched a prize-winning naming activity with great fanfare, and it was a huge bonus.
Don’t you just want to use this event to attract the attention of people across the country and let everyone know that Unique has changed its name?
Then, Zhang Yu was asked to keep up with the advertisements he shot for Jinxiu Clothing to minimize the negative impact of the name change.
I just thought it was not enough to let people all over the country know that Unique has changed its name.
We also need to let them know our good intentions in changing the name, so that they will support us even more.
After all, we changed the name for the sake of national integrity and abandoned the foreign name.
So I contacted many reporters from newspapers and magazines with large circulation and told them the reason for our name change.
Those reporters came to interview me.
Once these interviews were published, our sales of Jinxiu clothing became better and better."
Lin Mai appreciated it and said, "Well done!"
Sun Yunying smiled modestly: "Actually, public relations is just an assistant.
The most important thing is that our Jinxiu clothing is of good quality and style, and the advertisements we shoot are good, so the sales volume will be good."
What she said is true.
Whether it is domestic textile factories or state-owned garment factories, woolen and woolen fabrics are either black or dark green, and even bright red is very rare.
The woolen and woolen fabrics Lin Mai bought from customs were different.
Light pink, light blue, milk white, pink purple...there are many colors.
Whether it's a short coat or a suit, it looks particularly beautiful when worn on the body. Who doesn't like it among girls and young women?
Not to mention girls and young women, even middle-aged and older women also like it, but it's just not suitable for them.
Moreover, the quality of fabrics smuggled from foreign countries is much better than that of domestic ones.
This is not admiration for foreigners, this is a fact.
Even if the price is expensive, consumers with financial means will still buy it.
There are also some consumers who don’t have the financial strength to save money and buy one.
Just like some girls with average economic conditions in previous lives bought luxury goods. They had pure love, but also showed off and vanity, and they were not lenient in spending money.
As for mountaineering clothing, the supply exceeds demand because people in this era already like chemical fiber fabrics.
In addition, mountaineering clothing has its advantages, it is brightly colored and easy to clean.
Unlike cotton clothes, which can only be washed once a winter and are troublesome, people are certainly willing to buy mountaineering clothes.
Lin Mai smiled and said to everyone: "Everyone has merit."
She looked at the head of the Human Resources Department: "We will give rewards based on merit. Your Human Resources Department will go back and study it and make a report to see how much reward each person should receive."
The personnel chief nodded.
At this time, Hou Xinyi said: "Actually, there is another reason why our brocade clothing sells so well."
Lin Mai smiled and asked: "What's the reason?"
Hou Xinyi said: "Ximan Clothing has closed down. No one will copy our clothes anymore."
Ren Baozhu and others chirped: "Yes, we forgot to tell you that Ximan has closed its doors."
Lin Mai didn't expect that such a big thing would happen to her only about a month after she went to the United States.
She asked very curiously: "Why did Ximan Clothing close down?"
Tao Zhiyun said disdainfully: "Guan Yonghua, the boss of Ximan Clothing, is related to the arson case in our clothing factory. He has to pay us a huge sum of money. How can he still have the heart to continue doing business? Of course he will close down!"
Lin Mai couldn't believe that Tang Shunying's appeal actually dragged Guan Yonghua into trouble. It was really powerful.
She asked: "Since Guan Yonghua is related to the arson case, doesn't he need to be extradited to face legal sanctions?"
Tao Zhiyun waved his hand: "That's not the case."
Lin Mai was a little confused: "It's all related to the arson case, so there's no need to be sentenced?"
Tao Zhiyun explained it to her.
The evidence provided by Tang Shunying was all "I think" and "I think". It was all subjective judgment and was therefore ruled invalid by the court.
But all Guan Yonghua produced were convincing recordings.
Especially the recording that Tang Shunying came to threaten and blackmail Guan Yonghua. Guan Yonghua was completely cleansed, and naturally he did not need to be punished by the law.
However, the reason why the court sentenced him to bear one-third of the losses caused by the fire to Jinxiu Garment Factory was because Tang Shunying's attorney insisted on this:
Guan Yonghua repeatedly said in those recordings of his conversations with Tang Shunying that he did not want Tang Shunying to deal with Lin Mai anymore, and there was no need to rush to pay back the money he owed him.
But every once in a while he would ask someone to bring Tang Shunying to him and mention the money she owed him.
In fact, she was using actions to press for debts, which put tremendous pressure on Tang Shunying, so she took the risk and set fire to it.
Therefore, Tang Shunying was also responsible for setting the fire.
Lin Mai admired him: "Tang Shunying's agent is really amazing! He brought Guan Yonghua into the mix."
She asked: "Guan Yonghua wants to compensate one-third of our losses. How much is this one-third?"
Ren Baozhu said: "Eighty thousand."
The total number of rags and defective fabrics burned in the warehouse was only a few thousand. Adding in the repair costs of the destroyed office building, the total loss was no more than ten thousand.
Even if it was just Guan Yonghua's compensation of 80,000 yuan, Lin Mai would have made a lot of money.
Although her original intention was to lure Guan Yonghua out through Tang Shunying and let him go to jail, it was not bad to let him bleed out, and at least she would get a bad breath out of her.
Tang Shunying has to bear two-thirds of the fire compensation, totaling 160,000 yuan.
Hou Xinyi asked Lin Mai if he wanted to ask her for it.
Lin Mai shook his head: "Everyone has already gone to jail, so there is no need to kill them all. Just pay compensation."
Tang Shunying's family was so poor that even if she sold her entire family, she would not be able to raise more than 160,000 yuan.
Not to mention 160,000 yuan, her family couldn't come up with 160 yuan.
It would be better not to receive compensation from Tang Shunying, and outsiders would think she is grand.
After the meeting, when he returned to his office, Lin Mai asked if Rong's mother had received compensation for slandering the predecessor of Jinxiu Clothing in public and whether Unique's compensation had been paid.
Shen Xiaoping shook her head.
Lin Mai asked: "Didn't you ask your comrades from the court to urge you?"
Shen Xiaoping said dejectedly: "I contacted the court, and the comrades in the court said that Wang Rong's parents have no enforceable property, so it is difficult for us to get the compensation."
Lin Mai fell into silence.
If Rong's parents really have no property to enforce, their work will be in vain.
Shen Xiaoping also reported one thing, that is, the famous Liu Meiqing, a powerful figure in the entertainment industry, had called and wanted to shoot an advertisement for Jinxiu Clothing for free.
Lin Mai was surprised and happy at the same time.
Surprisingly, a big-name celebrity like Liu Meiqing actually wanted to take the initiative to shoot advertisements for leading fashion shows for free. This is unheard of.
It can be seen from this that her splendid costumes are quite famous.
Otherwise, with Liu Meiqing's arrogant personality, let alone taking the initiative to shoot ads for them for free, even if she begged her for money, she would not necessarily look at her.
Lin Mai asked: "How did you answer?"
"I said I can't make the decision. I'll wait until you come back."
Lin Mai nodded: "Let's wait until she calls again."
Soon it was time to get off work. Lin Mai hadn't seen Doudou for a month and felt panicked.
So Tao Zhiyun and I went to the kindergarten to pick up our respective babies.
For this reason, Lin Mai specially called Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang and asked them not to pick up Doudou today.
The wind was a bit strong today, so the two old people were allowed to hide in the house to avoid getting sick.
Lin Mai pushed his bicycle and walked side by side with Tao Zhiyun, and gave her the gold necklace he had given her.
As for Chen Feng’s, I will give it to him when he comes to the factory for a meeting.
Don't go out of your way to give it to him and make his heart ripple.
Tao Zhiyun was very happy to receive the gift.
The two of them walked to the factory gate, and the guard uncle called Lin Mai.
Lin Mai stopped and saw that the guard uncle only called her but did not speak. He hesitated to speak.
She said kindly: "Uncle, if you have anything to say, just say it."
The guard uncle scratched his head and said: "I will offend people as soon as I say these words. I also ask Director Lin to keep it a secret for me."
As soon as Tao Zhiyun heard this, he immediately stood far away knowingly.
Lin Mai smiled and said: "I will keep it a secret, just tell me."
The guard uncle looked left and right.
Although it was off-duty time, the workers had almost left and there was no one around.
He then lowered his voice and said, "Director Lin, someone in the factory is stealing supplies from the factory."
Lin Mai's expression became serious: "Who is that person? What did he take?"
