Xia Wan nodded and said, “I think the same way. However, I don’t know whose embroidery skills are good. If Director Song knows suitable people, he can recommend them to me.
“In addition to these clothes, I usually design other clothing as well. The embroiderers you help me find will definitely have a role to play.”
Director Song readily agreed.
“In our county, we may lack many things, but we have a certain heritage in embroidery. There are still many skilled embroiderers here.
“Moreover, most of them are now staying at home after having children, doing daily household ch.o.r.es. If we can give them some work like this, they won’t need to stay in the factory all day, they’ll have more free time, and their income will also increase. They will definitely be willing.”
Xia Wan smiled, “This kind of collaboration is naturally the best. For embroiderers, they just need to produce within the specified time frame, no need to restrict them to the factory.”
Both parties discussed it well, and Xia Wan decided to design several clothing items by the end of the weekend. During this time, Director Song would contact the embroiderers and train a group of workers specifically for processing these garments.
The discussions went well, including the terms of the partnership, and they eventually signed a contract. rm,vo hours had pa.s.sed by the time they left Director Song’s house.
Chen MO accompanied Xia Wan home and said, “If you need money, you can tell me. Partnering with Director Song will require an initial investment in labor and materials.”
Xia Wan smiled, “Don’t worry, I still have a lot of income right now.” Seeing that she didn’t seem to be lying, Chen MO left in peace.
When Xia Wan returned home, she found that the atmosphere was different from before. Yan Han and Xia Hai both looked worried.
Although Xia Chen was by their side, he couldn’t find comforting words to say.
The atmosphere was only broken when Xia Wan returned home.
Yan Han asked with concern, “Did Chen MO take you out for a meal? Why did you spend so much time eating today? I almost went out to look for you.”
Xia Wan smiled slightly, “It’s not just about eating. I went with Chen MO to see Director Song and discuss our future collaboration in making clothes.” As she spoke, Yan Han’s eyes immediately brightened.
She looked at Xia Wan with antic.i.p.ation and asked, “Wanwan, is what you said about making your own clothes true?”
Xia Wan nodded, “Of course, why would you think I was saying those things just to comfort you and Dad?”
Yan Han felt a bit embarra.s.sed because that was indeed her initial thought.
Today, after hearing Xia Chen’s description of the situation with the legal doc.u.ments, Yan Han felt that dealing with the legal doc.u.ment was going to be difficult.
Without money, their family was at a disadvantage, and if they continued to fight with the legal doc.u.ment, they were likely to lose in the end.
Yan Han had already thought about what to do if the clothing store went out of business. With such a large storefront, they would have to figure out what to sell.
Admitting defeat to Xia Ru, however, was not realistic. Yan Han knew Xia Ruts personality well, and she held grudges. Since Xia Ru failed to take Xia Wan’s marriage away from her earlier, she probably resented Xia Wan even more now.
Yan Han couldn’t eat much because she was worried, and she felt helpless, unable to come up with any ideas.
Xia Hai was also prepared to contact factories and work in a factory again.
Unexpectedly, when Xia Wan came back, she brought such good news to everyone. It turned out that Xia Wan really had a way to resolve this crisis.
Xia Wan rea.s.sured them, “In the future, our store will definitely sell fewer clothes than before, but with the price reductions, we should attract more buyers.
“Mom and Dad, don’t hesitate to lower the prices. As long as Xia Ru’s side lowers theirs too.
“Director Song can start production officially next Monday. We won’t be able to sell these clothes within a week, so you’ll still be busy.
“And Mom, I asked Chen MO to help order some books on clothing. He’ll have them sent over, and you can study this subject when you have free time.
“Also, after the new clothes are put into production, Mom, you can go to the factory to be a supervisor. On one hand, you can learn about the clothing production process, and on the other hand, you can see if you’re interested in embroidery..”
