Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Chapter 71 Hot

Lin Qingping sincerely encouraged the two to take the college entrance exam.

However, both of them refused.

Gu Youlian felt she wasn't cut out for studying because her foundation was too weak, and Du Gen felt the same way.

Lin Qingping didn't force them. Anyway, she hadn't properly attended university in her previous life, and if she really felt she lacked knowledge and wanted to learn, she could start anytime.

After returning to the garment factory, Director Hu convened the first factory-wide employee meeting of the year.

At the meeting, Director Hu invited Lin Qingping to speak on stage because she was a key contributor to the order fair, securing large orders for the factory.

This is the first time in Ruixiang Garment City that a temporary worker has spoken at a major conference.

Lin Qingping stood on the stage, not boasting about her achievements or how capable she was, nor what she had brought to the factory. Instead, she quietly observed all the workers below the stage, including those who had initially resisted her, Gao Dashan and Feng Debao, and even her own younger brother…

"Comrades," Lin Qingping's clear voice echoed through the loudspeaker, "Although we haven't known each other for very long, we've been through more together than others have in ten years. What I want to say is, do you still remember those days when we fought so hard to create profits for the factory?"

"I remember!" came a few scattered voices from below, the loudest being Xiaoqin.

"Tell me loudly!" Lin Qingping suddenly raised her voice.

The workers below were also energized by her loud shout, and they shouted in unison, "Remember!"

"Great!" Lin Qingping shouted again, "Do you still remember those days when we were earning bonuses for ourselves?"

"Remember!"

"Now, we have the opportunity to create more value than before. Are you willing to do it?"

"willing!"

"We can get more bonuses ourselves, are you willing to do it?"

"willing!"

This question and answer resounded through the heavens and stirred the blood.

Looking at the audience, Lin Qingping felt satisfied, but also very encouraged.

How arduous was starting a business in my past life? Weren't there far more obstacles than I'm facing now? Yet I still overcame them one by one!

She felt as if she were standing at the company's annual meeting during its heyday in her previous life, full of vigor and high spirits.

"Comrades! We must earn money! But we must also put in the effort! With effort comes reward! Are you willing to keep up the good work for the next few months?" she continued to shout.

The roar from below was still overwhelming, "Yes!"

"Good!" Lin Qingping got to the point. "Comrades, as the factory director just said, this time, our clothing is going to Shanghai and the capital. Our Ruixiang Clothing brand is going to become famous. At that time, even movie stars will be wearing our clothes! So this time, we can only succeed, we cannot fail! Does everyone have confidence?"

"Yes!" came the increasingly enthusiastic responses.

Lin Qingping gave a thumbs-up to the audience, "Everyone was great! So, shouldn't we ensure that no accidents happen during our production?"

"Yes!"

"What if human error disrupts our production schedule?"

A brief pause.

Xiaoqin's voice rang out first, sharp and loud, "Never forgive!"

Then, the crowd erupted in anger, shouting, "Yes! We will never forgive them!"

"Great! Let's all work together! I believe that we, the hardworking and courageous people of Ruixiang, will definitely deliver a satisfactory result! For the factory, and for ourselves!"

Lin Qingping didn't say anything else, but before stepping off the stage, her gaze swept lightly over Gao Dashan.

Gao Dashan's face was so ugly it looked like the bottom of a pot.

So what?

She was hinting at him!

The factory workers all know it's about him!

No one said it out loud, yet everyone knew it perfectly well. What could Gao Dashan do?

Finally, even the factory director spoke up: everything must be done from the perspective of the overall situation and the collective good. If anyone harms the interests of the factory, no matter who it is, they must be dealt with according to factory rules. Those with serious offenses will be handed over to the police!

Perhaps the conference had a deterrent effect, because the subsequent production process went very smoothly. Even Lin Qingping's younger brother, apart from not being very diligent at work, occasionally being late or leaving early, and slacking off at work, did not cause any other problems.

Two months passed quickly.

In the past two months, Wu Tianjiao and two of her friends from Shanghai have come to the factory twice to place additional orders, meaning that this season's clothes have sold out completely.

According to the previous cooperation model, Lin Qingping and the factory still split the profits 50/50.

Lin Qingping's "five" included money that was once again distributed to Gu Youlian, Du Gen, and the temporary workers she had hired.

Yes, those temporary workers are still working in the factory, but their wages are paid by Lin Qingping.

This was something that had never happened in other factories, but no one at Ruixiang said anything.

After all, everyone knows exactly how these temporary workers came to be, so no one has the nerve to kick them out.

Besides, they don't take wages from the factory; the employees' bonuses increase every month, and at the end of this quarter, they'll receive a quarterly bonus. With such good times, who would complain? Wouldn't that be foolish?

Gao Dashan's order was indeed shipped out, but Lin Qingping didn't care at all how well it sold, since no one came to place another order.

During these two months, Lin Qingping not only oversaw production but also designed the summer collection, sending sample garments directly to the capital, Shanghai, and Xiang Hongying.

However, before the order arrived, Wu Tianjiao and Mei Li personally came to Ruixiang Garment Factory, a small county town, bringing a copy of the magazine "Everyone's Cinema".

The clothes worn by the movie star on the cover were the spring designs she had created.

"See? I wasn't bragging, was I?" Wu Tianjiao slammed the magazine down in front of her.

Lin Qingping also showed the magazine to the factory director, and that same day, the magazine was posted on the bulletin board in the factory where the honor roll was usually displayed.

The entire factory was in an uproar, and everyone felt a sense of pride.

These are their clothes!

It came from one of them!

Although I don't know who it is, it could be you, him, or her! Or very possibly yourself!

Isn't this infuriating? They're just a garment factory in a small county town!

Their clothes actually made their way into big cities and were even worn by movie stars!

Isn't that inspiring?

Suddenly, everyone in the factory was talking about movie stars wearing their clothes, and everyone was talking about Master Lin.

Gao Dashan walked past people, and everyone seemed to ignore him.

You should know, he used to be the master craftsman in this factory!

Gao Dashan was so angry that his face was contorted. When he got back, he would either smash plates or break bowls.

What happened next was even more exciting.

Lin Qingping's summer collection is selling out fast.
