Chapter 586 Targeting
The news of the fabric shortage spread rapidly for some reason, causing widespread panic among the workers who feared for their jobs.

Factory committee director Lei Songyue faced a severe test and began a thorough investigation into who was spreading rumors!

Morale must not be shaken at will. Anyone who disrupts production should die!
But a sense of unease lingered over the garment factory when Chen Qing received a call from Xu Yongkang.

Xu Yongkang said happily, "Director Chen, we have stock in Hong Kong. The quality is better and the colors are more vibrant, which perfectly suits the tastes of foreign customers. We can help you import it."

Chen Qing's eyes lit up.

Finally, some good news!
But Xu Yongkang’s next words brought her back to reality: “However, this requires full payment in cash, and the cost of transportation and tariffs will be 30 to 40 percent higher than the planned domestic price. Your factory will have to prepare a large sum of money first.”

Chen Qing was still very grateful.

Soon, Tian Mengya arrived. "Regarding the fabric, I asked someone to inquire for me. It seems that the important fabrics our garment factory needs have all been pre-ordered, or rather, there is a shortage of stock. The strange thing is that there are no large-scale production plans for this kind of material recently."

"Now that we have a solution for the fabric, let's talk about how much money the finance department can free up."

Chen Qing remained calm.

Tian Mengya was somewhat devastated. "Planned quotas, bank loans, and cash inflows have left us with very little money. Our garment factory is burning through cash. We have deposits for new orders, but those have been used to buy materials. We have very little money left in our accounts."

Chen Qing took the bill and looked at it. Tian Mengya had written it very clearly. If she looked closely, she could tell that Tian Mengya had really spent the money wisely.

The garment factory was expanding at all costs, spending every penny it received, leaving very little in the bank.

Those who wanted to scheme against her precisely cut off all her possible sources of funding.

Chen Qing's hands, which were flipping through the ledgers, had become somewhat cold.

"I understand, you can go ahead and get busy."

"Chen Qing...do you know what's going on?" Tian Mengya asked in a trembling voice.

Chen Qing's eyes were resolute: "Trust me, it's alright, just do your job well!"

When Tian Mengya met her eyes, she seemed to be empowered. "I understand. I'll go see if there's any way to get the money."

"Ah."

Chen Qing nodded.

Once Tian Mengya left, she felt completely drained.

Secretary Zhang watched with unease; it seemed that Factory Director Chen was being besieged by the entire industry.

Even under immense pressure, the factory manager is largely responsible for maintaining the morale and spirit of the garment factory.

She appeared calm and collected. Even though there were rumors circulating among the employees, they didn't cause any major disturbances because everyone believed that the factory manager was capable.

But with one road after another blocked, can things really work?

Wei Jianping also secretly observed Chen Qing's condition and found her somewhat listless. He then reported the good news to Xi Gaomin: "Without enough fabric quota for her, even if she shines brightly at the Canton Fair this time, it will be of no use."

Xi Gaomin nodded in satisfaction. She refused to believe that she couldn't turn the tide this time, with so many people joining forces!

People in the clothing industry are all focused on Chen Qing.

Everyone can collude with each other for a common enemy.

She was short of money and fabric, so everyone was watching to see how she could shine at the Canton Fair!

Chen Qingzhao went to work and left work as usual, and the employees' hearts were gradually calmed down, but in reality, she became more and more anxious.

The Light Industry Bureau also held a clothing conference because Qi Yuanchao was very concerned about Chen Qing's recent lack of money and fabric, and asked everyone to suggest how to help Chen Qing solve his current difficulties.

Xi Gaomin smiled and said, "Director Chen, I heard you're not in good shape. You're young, and it's good that you're ambitious, but you should also be realistic about your abilities. How about this, if you're really having difficulties and the Canton Fair is too demanding, our Third Garment Factory can share some of the burden. We're all working to earn foreign exchange for the country, don't you think?"

This statement came out.

Many people echoed this sentiment.

He indicated that he could also help share the burden. Qi Yuanchao also chimed in, "Director Chen, if your garment factory were to outsource a certain portion of its production quota, it would alleviate the immediate crisis, wouldn't it?"

Chen Qing sneered: "Then why can't you just give me the fabric? Don't we know how to make it in our garment factory?"

Xi Gaomin: "We've given you the fabric. What do our garment factory workers do? Our factory also has its own quotas. We're willing to make fewer domestic clothes to help you. Don't be ungrateful."

"That's right, Director Chen, you need to learn to be more accommodating."

"That's right, everyone here is your senior, how could they possibly harm you? We've all gathered here for your own good."

……

They chattered on and on, and Chen Qing found it increasingly annoying.

The reason why Shengxia Sports Apparel Factory receives less government subsidies is because this is a pilot project. The sportswear belongs entirely to Shengxia Sports Apparel Factory, and other factories cannot produce it.

But now they mean to force her to make sportswear everyone's sportswear.

Qi Yuanchao: "One cannot be selfish; we are all brothers and sisters in the factory."

Xi Gaomin said smugly, "Director Chen, did you hear that?"

The long table in the conference room of the light industry building is a dark and heavy solid wood table. The surface of the tabletop shows faint scratches left by the years and white rings from the teacups. It is shiny but old.

The long tabletop stretched to both sides. The table was too long and wide, and the tabletop was extremely messy because of various documents, reports, and teacups. Each item seemed to be silently declaring its dominance and demonstrating the confidence of their large number of people.

A group of people were eyeing him menacingly, and Chen Qing felt the pressure coming from all of them.

Secretary Zhang stood behind Chen Qing, wiping the cold sweat that was slowly dripping from his forehead.

He genuinely felt that there was a reason why Chen Qing, at such a young age, was able to become the factory director.

So many people are watching.

Everyone involved has a significant background, and they are all putting pressure on her.

She was isolated and helpless.

Only one person could endure it.

Secretary Zhang had no idea what the factory director was capable of doing.

Chen Qing: "Secretary Zhang."

Secretary Zhang shuddered and quickly replied, "Here!"

"Call Minister Lian and ask him how much fabric we have in the country to supply to garment factories to make sportswear. Then call Director Peng and ask her how much foreign exchange the sportswear factories plan to earn in the summer of the new year. Is it possible to share my workload with all the other factories?"

Chen Qing emphasized the word 'brothers and sisters'.

stab-

The screeching sound of the stool scraping against the ground rang out.

Qi Yuanchao stood up, his eyes flashing with anger: "Chen Qing, don't go too far."

Chen Qing scoffed lightly, meeting his gaze directly: "Is that going too far?"

Qi Yuanchao's eyes turned gloomy.

Chen Qing smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will fulfill your wish after the Canton Fair ends, as long as you work together."

Chen Qing stood up: "I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."

She took a few steps outside, then turned back and smiled at everyone present: "I'll remember you all."
