70s factory beauty, transform villain cubs to become rich

Chapter 619 Chen Qing Loses His Conscience

While Chen Qing was busy, Wang Weiqiang finally slowly came to report to Chen Qing: "Factory Director, I have 223 jin."

Chen Qing: "Hmm. This weight is perfect for advertising. What's your target weight?"

"two hundred?"

Wang Weiqiang was very reluctant to part with his own meat.

Chen Qing frowned: "That's too little, 140 pounds. Losing 80 pounds in a year requires a dramatic comparison to be effective. It's not just you who's losing weight; I'll also need to find women to lose weight with you. You'll wear workout clothes and post pictures of your changes over the year to create a real impact. Since thinness is currently a popular beauty standard abroad, we need to seize this opportunity to get people who want to lose weight to buy our clothes."

“But buying clothes doesn’t mean you’ll lose weight.” Wang Weiqiang didn’t understand: “And are they out of their minds? Why do they equate thinness with beauty?”

"Everyone has different aesthetic standards. For society, a diversity of appearances and body types is necessary to reflect the inclusivity of a place."

Chen Qing remembered that every time he came to Guangdong Province on a business trip in his previous life, everyone dressed casually and felt comfortable. In fact, this was the most relaxed way to dress, completely based on one's own physical comfort, with a high degree of freedom.

Wang Weiqiang: "Then why do you still want me to lose weight?"

"Because we're in business, our job is to sell our products..."

"Isn't that heartless?!" Wang Weiqiang questioned.

Chen Qing paused for two seconds: "To be frank, any high-priced item is made by selling people's vanity and anxiety, but now we need foreigners' vanity to give back to our people in China."

"Then you're still heartless!" Wang Weiqiang continued his criticism. "From now on, foreigners will say we're discriminating against people based on weight. We should make money honestly and fairly!"

Chen Qingzhen was convinced: "Within the legal and compliant framework, every penny is earned honestly. As long as we don't cross the legal line, we can make money boldly! Comrade Wang, do you know how much foreign exchange we are in need right now? Foreign exchange can be used to buy machinery, technology, and for construction. We finally have an opportunity to make money from foreigners, and it's for their health. You're giving me one set of excuses after another."

Wang Weiqiang remained dissatisfied, genuinely finding Chen Qing's methods dirty: "Foreigners use bad methods to treat us, so we use bad methods to deal with them back. Don't you think your methods are dirty? You're so young, yet your thoughts are so filthy. No wonder you've climbed so high."

Chen Qing did not immediately refute. She looked at Wang Weiqiang quietly, her eyes extremely cold, even with a hint of pity.

Wang Weiqiang became nervous.

I suddenly regretted my bluntness!
It's all Chen Qing's fault for speaking to him so calmly now, which made him reveal his disdain for Chen Qing.

Chen Qing asked, "You're almost thirty this year, right? How much foreign exchange have you earned for the country? Do you still think that foreign trade is just about setting up a stall, waiting for customers to come, and relying on bowing and scraping and losing money to make a name for yourself?"

Wang Weiqiang awkwardly turned his face to the side.

Chen Qing's voice was soft, but every word was precious: "If that's the case, then you're not just pure-minded, you're incompetent."

"you!"

Wang Weiqiang glared at Chen Qing.

Chen Qing met his gaze without flinching, his eyes sharp. "The people of the whole country work hard all year, only to receive half of the grain they need. The rest is all donated to support urban construction. What does it mean that their donated grain and money are wasted? Is it that I am morally upright?!"

"Don't slander me, I didn't mean that!" Wang Weiqiang quickly retorted.

"Then what do you mean? Are you suggesting I sacrifice the country's hopes to satisfy your own moral fastidiousness?" Chen Qing retorted.

Wang Weiqiang truly felt Chen Qing's arrogance. Others would naturally be intimidated by his tall and stout appearance, but she, a woman, was completely unafraid of him: "I'm just raising my questions; that's my right." "Yes, thank you for letting me know how foolish you are," Chen Qing said.

Wang Weiqiang blushed and said, "Don't insult me!"

"I'm just telling the truth. I advise you, if you want to be a true gentleman, you should serve those in need, making them feel happy and satisfied after purchasing their goods, and then use the money you earn to serve the people and give back to them, letting the people know that their support over the past few decades has real meaning! Instead of just shouting slogans in front of me!"

Chen Qing became increasingly irritable.

Wang Weiqiang was speechless.

Chen Qing then asked, "What have you contributed to the people? Tell me about it."

Wang Weiqiang: "..."

Wang Weiqiang's mind went blank; he couldn't find any words to refute him.

"You're all talk and no action, but all you're capable of is petty theft and deceit," Chen Qing sneered. "You use the people's name to mock me, this corrupt factory director, while you yourself live off the people, comfortably serving as a leader, earning a measly hundred yuan a month. Who knows, you'll probably go around mocking the villagers, saying, 'How could you be so stupid? I became the deputy factory director so easily; if you put in a little effort, you wouldn't be in such a bad situation.'"

Wang Weiqiang blushed and felt so embarrassed by what she said that he wished he could disappear into the ground.

Seeing this, Chen Qing didn't continue. "If you don't want to lose weight, that's fine. I'll find other comrades."

"I...I...I didn't mean that either." Wang Weiqiang felt that if he didn't cooperate, he would be exiled to the frontier.

Chen Qing: "Get out."

Wang Weiqiang: "Yes."

After leaving the house, Wang Weiqiang felt like slapping himself. He was used to being arrogant in front of Xi Gaomin, and he hadn't been able to adapt to having a new leader.

Chen Qing took out next year's plan from the drawer. Sportswear is a functional garment, so she had to expand her customer base step by step, ensuring that people who weren't short of money had sportswear in their wardrobes and would buy their brand whenever they thought of it.

The clothes must be of good quality.

We also need to innovate and bring forth new ideas.

As for losing one's conscience?
That's a matter of opinion.

Anyway, she'll never be a really good person.

knock knock --

Chen Qing: "Go in."

Secretary Zhang awkwardly rubbed his hands: "Um... I was waiting at the door and overheard your conversation with Deputy Factory Director Wang. Can I recommend my dad? He's also overweight. He's 1.76 meters tall and weighs a full 235 kilograms. The doctor said he can't continue to be so fat, but he refuses to lose weight. However, as long as it's about serving the people, he's definitely capable."

Chen Qing thought for a moment and said, "You can ask him."

“Okay, I’ll talk to him tonight.” As Secretary Zhang walked out, he couldn’t help but turn back to her and say, “Factory Director, don’t pay attention to what Wang Weiqiang said. We think you’re a good person. You have no idea how many people your foreign exchange earnings can support and how much confidence you’ve given them. You must do a good job.”
