Lin Qi thought for a moment and said, "If Sister Chen really wants to use her, maybe she can try to do whatever she wants."
After all, everyone has different priorities. Since Yuan Lihua does not pay attention to money, she can only start from other aspects.
Chen Lishu nodded after hearing his words: "I'll go find out more about the situation tomorrow. If it doesn't work, I can only slowly look for other people." After all, she came back from leave and her time was limited.
In fact, Chen Lishu has a very good impression of Yuan Lihua. Not only her craftsmanship is good, but also she can avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles by living alone.
Soon the food was served one after another, and several people also turned the conversation to business.
"Now the source of supply has basically been solved. The textile factory can provide at least dozens of pieces of fabric every month. It's just that it's not convenient to transport it. Brother Zhou will have to worry about it in the future." Chen Lishu said with a smile.
"Girl, don't worry when it comes to vehicles. The drivers are colleagues who have been working for more than ten years and you must trust them. As long as there is a car going to the provincial capital, I will definitely notify you as soon as possible."
"I'm sure there's no problem with this, I'm just worried that your production won't be able to keep up." Nan Haitao saw her looking over and joked with a smile.
"Soon." Chen Lishu said with a smile: "The provincial capital is relatively more open than ours. There are already many small merchants and hawkers on the streets. This is a sign that reform and opening up is imperative. Maybe in the near future, we will be able to do business.
No more sneaking around."
Zhou Bin was shocked when he heard her words: "If it's really like what you said, sister, that would be great."
Nan Haitao and Lin Qi's eyes couldn't help but light up.
It was already past eight o'clock in the evening when we all finished eating together and separated.
Lin Qi first sent Chen Lishu home, and then rode home by moonlight.
The bicycle was the one Chen Lishu bought before. Although it was a Kun bicycle, bicycles were rare nowadays. He remembered that it caused quite a stir when he rode it back to the village on the first day.
It was already dark when he got home, and the dim light reflected in the low and dilapidated windows. Knowing that Lin Yuliang was waiting for him, Lin Qi unconsciously walked a few steps quickly, pushed the car into the house and parked it, and then spoke.
: "Dad, why aren't you asleep yet? Didn't I say I would come back later when I went out to eat? You don't have to wait for me."
"People sleep less as they get older. I will light the lamp just in time so that you can have some light when you come back without having to go into the dark."
Lin Qi took off her clothes and got on the kang: "Dad, my family has some money now, and I will have a salary increase next month. It will happen that there will be a period of slack for the farmers. How about rebuilding the house at home?"
Lin Yuliang nodded happily when he heard what he said: "I can afford a house. Your aunt next door came over today and said she wanted to marry you."
Since the conditions at home have improved, everyone's attitude towards the two of them has also begun to change.
Although it is said that the poorer you are, the more glorious you are, few people are really willing to marry into a poor family.
"Dad, don't worry about the marriage. Let's build the house first. Besides, Sister Chen is in short supply right now. How can I have that thought?"
Lin Yuliang nodded: "Yes, you are only nineteen, take your time and wait for two years before you make a decision."
…
The next day, Chen Liyuan and Gu Xingping both went to school, and Chen Lishu decided to go to Yuan Lihua's place to see the situation.
This time she did not go directly to Yuan Lihua's house, but carefully inquired about her situation with people nearby, and gained a lot.
In addition to being unanimously recognized by everyone for her craftsmanship and character, Chen Lishu learned that Yuan Lihua was also a miserable person. She originally had a daughter, but unfortunately she could not bear the humiliation during the turmoil and finally chose to hang herself.
It should be said that at first, Chen Lishu just had the attitude of changing people if they didn't work, but after getting to know Yuan Lihua in depth, she already had the idea of recruiting people into her hands.
Clothing is a technical job. Even if she has experience in her previous life, Chen Lishu is not a professional in this. At most, she is taking advantage of opportunism. If she wants to make the clothing industry bigger and further, she can't just have ideas. Among them, the material of fabrics plays a key role.
There are many things involved in printing and so on, which requires professional and reliable people to handle, and Yuan Lihua has decades of experience in this area.
After figuring out the key, Chen Lishu knocked on Yuan Lihua's door again.
"Why are you here again? Didn't I tell you that I'm not interested? I can't take your job."
"I'm not here to talk about work this time." Chen Lishu said with a smile: "I want to hire Master Yuan to be responsible for clothing design and production in the future."
Yuan Lihua interrupted impatiently before she could finish her words: "Not interested."
Chen Lishu didn't take it seriously and continued with a smile: "I haven't stated my conditions yet. Master Yuan, don't refuse in a hurry."
Although Yuan Lihua stopped speaking, her expression made it very clear that no matter what you say, I will not agree.
"The salary will be 200 per month at first, and it will continue to rise depending on the situation."
Yuan Lihua remained unmoved and even lowered her head and started to step on the sewing machine.
"Five years, as long as you help me, Master Yuan, for five years, I will cover all your pension and medical care from now on, and I guarantee that you can enjoy your old age in peace."
Yuan Lihua was concentrating on her work. When she heard her words, she became distracted. The originally straight thread suddenly deviated, and the needle on the sewing machine spun freely for a long time. Only then did Yuan Lihua finally react and pull out the fabric.
Chen Lishu knew that her guess was right when she saw her reaction.
Yuan Lihua is now alone and has long lost her enthusiasm for life. How much money she earns does not mean much to her. On the contrary, as she grows older, what she has to consider and worry about most is definitely the issue of retirement.
After a while, Yuan Lihua's somewhat uncertain voice came: "Are you telling the truth?"
Chen Lishu nodded: "Yes."
"How can I believe what you say?" She can still move in the past few years, which is of course of use, but if she can't do it anymore, of course it will be whatever they say.
"I can sign a contract with you and specifically add this item."
Yuan Lihua was still worried: "It's just a piece of waste paper. When you don't want to take care of it, why don't you just say it anyway?"
Chen Lishu was helpless: "Then what do you think we should do?"
Yuan Lihua thought for a long time and felt that there was no better way. After all, who could say for sure what would happen many years later.
"Let's do this, Master Yuan. How about you find someone you trust and ask them to help you prove it. If I don't fulfill my promise then, you can take the contract and go to court to sue me."
