Chapter 42: Chapter 42: Liangmei Clothing Factory
Translator: 549690339
Time flew by, and after a few days of trial operation, Chenxi finally got on track and sold almost all the clothes made earlier.
Qin Xue calculated that she had earned nearly US$ 10,000 with her profits included. She spent US$ 2,000 on a new batch of fabric and saved the rest in the bank.
Today, Qin Xue took out a cheongsam design and a fluffy princess dress design to show Fang Hong and the others, then told them that she would be going out for a while.
She took a few summer clothing designs with her to find a clothing factory that could quickly produce a batch of summer clothes.
Although time was tight, if they could catch up, they would still be able to sell during this summer.
Qin Xue carried a backpack with US$ 1,000, a cup filled with spiritual spring water, and an umbrella, then headed out the door.
Through her inquiries, Qin Xue learned of two clothing factories in Xijiao: Aiguo Clothing Factory and Liangmei Clothing Factory.
Now, Qin Xue was standing in front of Liangmei Clothing Factory. Why did she come here first?
Mainly because Qin Xue thought that the name was fitting and that it should be a pretty good clothing factory.
So she came over. When Qin Xue arrived at the guardroom, she saw a man in his fifties: “Uncle, hello, my name is Qin Xue. May I ask if your factory manager is here? I’d like to speak to him.”
“Young lady, you have to register first before you can enter.” The guard handed the registration book and pen to Qin Xue.
After registering, the guard led Qin Xue into the factory. In the factory manager’s office, there was a woman in her mid-twenties.
This woman looked quite pretty with well-defined features. She wore a dress suit with the top being tight around her chest. However, the lower half was loose, making her look older.
Modern dress suits were not like the waist-accentuating ones in later times.
Even a good figure would be wasted in ill-fitting clothes. The woman had sprayed a lot of cheap perfume on herself, and the strong scent almost made Qin Xue nauseous.
However, Qin Xue did not show any discomfort. Her impression was greatly discounted, and if this Liangmei’s factory manager was this woman, there would be no need for cooperation.
“Mr. Xiao, this young lady is looking for Factory Manager Li. Can you help me call him? I’ll get back to my post.” The guard handed Qin Xue over to Xiao Li and returned to his position.
“Hello, Mr. Xiao, my name is Qin Xue. May I ask if your factory manager is here?” Qin Xue was relieved that this woman was not the factory manager, otherwise, she would rather just turn around and leave.
“Our factory manager is not here. If there’s anything you need, you can speak to me.” Xiao Li looked at Qin Xue as though she would eat her up. She thought that this pregnant woman must have come to see Li Dawei. Was she Li Dawei’s new lover, daring to find another woman behind her back?
Qin Xue saw the look in the woman’s eyes as if she wanted to eat her alive and wondered if she had offended her. What was she getting at with that gaze?
“Oh, I want to talk to your factory manager about something. Can you make a decision on his behalf?”
“The factory manager is not here. You can talk to me or not.” Xiao Li seemed like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. This woman with a huge belly had come looking for Li Dawei, and she must be one of his mistresses.
Wasn’t it because their home chicken couldn’t lay eggs that she had to be with Li Dawei in the first place?
It had been a year, and she hadn’t gotten pregnant. Li Dawei must have found someone else behind her back, and now that she was pregnant, she had come knocking.
“Are you sure he’s not here? Are you sure you don’t want to find your factory manager to talk to me? You won’t regret it?” Qin Xue couldn’t help but ask.
“Regret? I told you he’s not here.” How could Xiao Li possibly let Qin Xue see Li Dawei on her own territory?
“Alright then, I won’t bother you any further. Goodbye.” Qin Xue didn’t want to bother with people’s moods and left the office. She almost bumped into someone as she turned a corner.
She quickly apologized and walked sideways toward the factory entrance. Li Dawei saw the woman who had almost collided with him and didn’t notice who she was.
He entered the office to find Xiao Li there again: “Mr. Xiao, what are you doing here? Go back to your office and work.”
“Factory Manager, I need to see you.”
However, Li Dawei knew that it wasn’t the right time and place for such things: “I saw a pregnant woman just now. Who was that and what did she want?”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Li realized that Qin Xue wasn’t Li Dawei’s lover.
Perhaps she genuinely had something to discuss with Li Dawei?
“Oh, that woman said her name is Qin Xue and she’s looking for you. She said she wanted to talk about something?
I told her you weren’t here and asked her to talk to me instead so I could relay the message when you got back. She didn’t say anything and left.” Xiao Li spoke seductively due to Li Dawei’s touch.
“Oh, if it’s nothing, then forget it. You really are a seductress. You’ll be in for something after work.” Xiao Li’s teasing left Li Dawei burning with no outlet for release.
Qin Xue listened to the conversation behind her. So the person she had almost bumped into earlier was Liangmei’s factory manager?
However, she no longer cared to cooperate with Liangmei Clothing. After all, someone who had illicit relations with subordinates in the office couldn’t be a good person..
