Until going home in the afternoon, Liuye still couldn't come up with a satisfactory design.
Tang Ting saw that she was under great pressure and always advised her to relax, it was okay.
However, Liuye has a stronger temperament and seems to agree well, but in fact he has been thinking about it.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Tang Ting drove Liu Ye back to the Fifth Textile Factory in a car.
The guard at the Fifth Textile Factory is already very familiar with Willow Leaf.
Just open the door and let Liuye enter the factory.
Today is Sunday, and the factory is closed. The factory, which is usually bustling with activity, is rarely quiet.
As Liuye walked, she was imagining the design in her mind.
Suddenly, a familiar figure broke into Liu Ye's field of vision.
"Secretary He!"
Willow Ye greeted loudly.
It turned out to be Xiao He, Director Xiao’s secretary.
The tall, thin man in front heard the shout and immediately turned around.
"Willow leaves!"
"Secretary He, are you still busy in the factory today and Sunday?"
Liuye chatted with him politely.
"There is something wrong with the goods in the factory. I am anxious to report it to Director Xiao."
Xiao He looked nervous, and large beads of sweat were falling from his fair forehead.
"What happened?"
Secretary He has always been calm. Last time the Shi family came to make trouble, he was very calm. This was the first time Liu Ye saw him so panicked.
"Alas! This..."
"If it's not convenient to say it, then don't say it."
Liu Ye was quick to speak and asked directly.
She didn't consider that this might involve the secrets of the factory. She was an outsider, how could anyone tell him!
"It's not inconvenient. Even if I don't tell you, you will know tomorrow."
Xiao He let out a long sigh, showing a bit of tiredness.
Because of this incident, he stayed up all night.
"There are some problems with the latest batch of fabrics in our factory."
"What's wrong?"
Willow Ye asked curiously.
"Our factory recently produced a batch of linen. The garment factory originally ordered 40 pieces of linen to be made into thick sheets. Who knew that the master who managed the machine drank too much that day and confusedly made the wrong adjustment?
It’s made into 60 pieces, and the 60 pieces of linen are so thin and soft, how could a garment factory want it?”
Fabric count is a way of expressing yarn. Generally speaking, the higher the count, the finer the yarn and the thinner the fabric.
"So that's what happened..."
Willow Ye responded thoughtfully.
When Xiao He mentioned the 60-count linen, Liu Ye's eyes lit up, and inspiration suddenly burst into her mind.
Liuye has a general direction for his design.
"Alas! I won't tell you anymore. I still have to report this matter to Director Xiao!"
With that said, Xiao He hurriedly went to the office building of the Fifth Textile Factory.
"Secretary He, wait for me! I'll go with you!"
Liu Ye called to Xiao He and followed him quickly.
Xiao He was anxious to find Director Xiao and didn't care why Liu Ye went with him.
Maybe she has something else to do with Director Xiao!
…
Soon, the two arrived at the office building together.
Xiao Yongqing was resting at home and was playing with cars with his precious grandson. Suddenly he received a call from Xiao He and immediately hurried to the office.
The door to Director Xiao's office was open, and Xiao He walked straight in with Liu Ye.
"Director Xiao, something happened!"
As soon as he walked into the office, Xiao He shouted loudly.
"Sit down and speak slowly, don't be anxious!"
Xiao Yongqing waved his hand towards Xiao He, calmly and motioned for him to sit down.
Xiao Yongqing has been a factory director for so many years and has experienced too many emergencies.
"Xiao Liu is here too..."
Xiao Yongqing was a little surprised when he saw Liu Ye following Xiao He.
"I happened to meet Secretary He on the way. I heard that there was something wrong with the cloth in our factory, so I followed him."
Liu Ye said it without any secret.
"Let's sit down together!"
Xiao Yongqing didn't mind Liu Ye's arrival and greeted her to sit down with a smile.
Soon, Xiao He told Director Xiao the cause and effect of the incident.
After Xiao Yongqing heard this, he couldn't help but frown.
"This old crook is really an old fool!"
The person who adjusts the machine has some problems with his legs and feet and usually walks with a slight limp, so he is called Lao Guaitou by others.
"Director Xiao, what should we do now? We have signed a contract with the garment factory. According to the contract, we must deliver the goods tomorrow."
Xiao He asked anxiously.
"Don't worry too much about this. I have an old friendship with Director Long of the garment factory. He will be lenient if it is two or three days late."
Textile factories and garment factories have always had a close relationship. They just organize the workers in the factory to work overtime and weave another batch of 40-count cloth.
But what to do with the 60-count batch of fabrics that had already been woven was the problem that put Xiao Yongqing in trouble.
"Director Xiao, are you worried about what to do with that batch of 60 linens?"
Liu Ye had been sitting next to Xiao He and Xiao Yongqing's conversation, listening silently.
Now seeing Xiao Yongqing's gloomy face and frowning, I guessed that he must be worried about what to do with the batch of cloth.
"yes……"
Liu Ye suddenly made a sound, and Xiao Yongqing raised his head to look at her.
"This 60-count cloth is light and thin. Who would want it?"
Xiao Yongqing lowered his head and whispered.
It seemed like he was explaining to Liuye, or talking to himself.
If no market is found, this batch of fabric will be destroyed.
Even if you sell it to others as rags, no one will want it because linen doesn't absorb water at all.
"I want!"
"What did you say?"
Liu Ye's words shocked Xiao Yongqing and raised his eyes to look at her.
Secretary He, who was sitting next to Liu Ye, also looked straight at Liu Ye.
"I said, I want this batch of cloth!"
Liu Ye returned decisively.
"What do you want all this linen for?"
Xiao Yongqing asked puzzledly, with doubts in his eyes.
"Don't worry about it. I want this batch of linen. I have my own use of it. I wonder if you are willing to sell it to me?"
Liu Ye looked at Xiao Yongqing with a smile.
"Can you consume so much linen?"
There are hundreds of bolts of linen piled in the warehouse!
"Of course no problem!"
"If you really want it, I will give it to you at the ex-factory price!"
Seeing Liu Ye's firm answer, Xiao Yongqing knew that she really wanted this batch of linen.
As for what she was going to use it for, she didn't want to say a word.
Liuye was kind to his family, and since she wanted it, he gave it to her at the cost price.
"Thank you so much! Director Xiao!"
"I should thank you. You bought this batch of cloth, which can be regarded as making up for the loss of the factory."
Xiao Yongqing said sincerely.
If Liuye hadn't spoken, he really didn't know what to do with these cloths, and they might have been kept in the warehouse eating ashes!
"Director Xiao, um... I have another unkind request..."
