Gu Wenli went back to the bedroom and scolded Wenqin: "Xiaoqin, you...how did you become like this?"

Wenqin cried bitterly. Although her father-in-law didn't scold her just now, he was very angry with her husband, which scared Wenqin. She didn't dare to talk back at this time, but just cried and explained that she didn't mean it.

Afterwards, in order to get forgiveness from her father-in-law and husband, Wenqin honestly did laundry and cooking at home, and kept the house in order, but she was exhausted.

But no matter how tired she was, Wenqin didn't dare to ask for a nanny at this time. She could only grit her teeth and persevere, but every night she couldn't help crying and complaining in front of her husband Gu Wenli.

Gu Wenli just listened, not daring to make any decision, after all, the kick from his father still hurts.

Qiao Zhenzhen has been attending night school for a month, and has bought a lot of clothing design books to study. With the help of her old teacher, she has now drawn twelve design drawings, all of which are summer clothes, including four men's clothes and eight women's clothes.

The old teacher also hand-sewn samples, one set for each style, the men's style was given to Song Jin to try on, and the women's style was tried on by Qiao Zhenzhen herself. The effect was absolutely perfect, and Qiao Zhenzhen was very satisfied.

Now that everything is ready, Qiao Zhenzhen is ready to start doing things.

She first rented two storefronts on a bustling street in Beijing, then asked Master Li to help with a simple renovation, and asked a carpenter to make a few mannequins.

As for the clothing design drawings, Qiao Zhenzhen sent them all to Hongyu Garment Factory in Beijing for production. Each style is divided into three sizes: large, medium and small, and temporarily customized 1,000 sets.

Hongyu Garment Factory is an old state-owned enterprise that specializes in making ready-made clothes. It has a history of nearly 30 years. It was also a well-known big brother in the clothing industry. For example, the factory clothes of major state-owned units are basically produced by Hongyu.

However, with the reform and opening up in recent years, many small workshops have emerged, especially in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Guangzhou. The clothes produced there are not only novel in style, but also cheap, which has grabbed a lot of market share.

In the past year, even the clothing orders of Beijing Machinery Factory were snatched by a private clothing factory in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Hongyu lost a lot of business.

But the machinery factory had no choice. Their factory's performance has not been good in recent years, so they naturally have to cut expenses and save as much as possible in some places.

What can Hongyu do? Even if they report it to the municipal government, the leaders dare not and are unwilling to intervene. The country is encouraging independent management and market economy. How can Hongyu still do the old production and sales system?

Therefore, the leaders of Hongyu Clothing Factory also began to actively expand their business, otherwise, the tens of thousands of people in this factory will have to eat.

They used to not even look at orders like Qiao Zhenzhen's, which were personal orders with a small business volume, and even refused to let the other party enter the factory. But now, as long as they can make money and have a profit, they will accept anyone who comes.

Even if it's a small mosquito, it's still meat. Now that they can barely afford to eat, how can they be picky?

Qiao Zhenzhen didn't plan to find Hongyu at first. It was recommended by an old tailor under her. Although the leader of Hongyu Garment Factory is a bit old-fashioned and doesn't know how to adapt, their factory's technology is still very good, and the quality control is also relatively strict, so Qiao Zhenzhen is willing to give it a try.
