70s factory beauty, transform villain cubs to become rich

Chapter 673 Learning to Cut
Fearing that Wu Zhenggang might misunderstand, Chen Qing immediately explained, "Master Wu, I'm sorry, I'm not an employee of your factory."

Comrade Xiao Yao's mouth was slightly open.

His aunt lied to him!

Wu Zhenggang, with his insightful eyes, calmly sized up the uninvited guest: "May I ask who this comrade is, and what business does he have with me?"

Chen Qing bowed slightly, speaking respectfully and frankly: "I apologize for disturbing your peace. My name is Chen Qing, and I work at the Guangdong Shengxia Sports Apparel Factory. Our senior colleague, Lin Leyu, specially introduced you to me. I came here without a letter of introduction, purely as a student, to pay my respects to you and seek your guidance."

She always carries a cloth bag.

The bag contained not only paper and pens, but also blueprints.

Wu Zhenggang matched the person in the newspaper with the real Chen Qing, and when he heard her mention Lin Leyu, his attitude softened: "You were introduced by Leyu, huh? Please sit down, I'll pour you some tea."

The bedroom suite in the old house was converted into a three-bedroom, one-living room apartment, making the space that combined the dining room and living room cramped. This also resulted in Mr. Wu having a lot of storage space in his house. He opened the drawer under his eldest grandson's desk, which was filled with tea leaves, and he began to brew tea for Chen Qing.

Chen Qing sat upright and proper.

Xiao Yao stepped forward and asked her, "Are you Chen Qing?"

Chen Qing smiled and nodded: "I am Chen Qing."

"I read the Canton Fair newspaper this year and I met Xiaoyu! She said you're her aunt. Did you bring her here to play?" Xiaoyao asked boldly.

His grandfather, father, and mother were all tailors, so the whole family paid close attention to the news in the clothing industry. For example, the newspaper about the excess orders of the summer sportswear factory at this year's Canton Fair was posted in his parents' room. He always looked at it, and eventually he got to know the four people in the newspaper.

My brother likes He Yuxiang.

I think he's handsome!

A man should be handsome!
He likes Xiaoyu; Xiaoyu's smile is so cute.

He wanted to be friends with Xiaoyu.

Chen Qing: "No, she went to the countryside."

"Go to the countryside?"

"Yes, one of her classmates was busy with farm work, but her grandparents had some health problems, so she, her brother, and their friends went to the countryside to help."

Isn't going to the countryside very tiring?

Xiao Yao remembers that his parents talked about going to the countryside as if it were a terrible thing.

After my older cousin went to the countryside, she lost a lot of weight and looked older than my mother, which made the family afraid to go to the countryside.

Even Master Wu, who was brewing tea, looked over.

Chen Qing said, "Going to the countryside is tiring, but she went with a group of friends, and Xiao Yu has good physical strength and can hold on. So far, she seems to be doing okay."

Xiao Yao seemed to understand but not quite.

Mr. Wu said, "It's good to experience the countryside."

His home was destroyed by a bomb, leaving him no choice but to come to Haishi to make a living. He used to be a farmer; farm work wasn't hard, but the hardship was the lack of harvest.

He is unaware of the current situation in rural areas.

People can be good or bad.

He utterly loathed those villages that bullied young girls from other places!

Mr. Wu's wife also returned from grocery shopping. Upon entering the house and seeing a woman inside, she asked curiously, "Are you someone sent by the factory committee to offer our condolences?"

Old Wu specifically gave his job to his eldest granddaughter so she wouldn't have to go to the countryside to be abused by a scumbag.

The son and daughter-in-law had no objections.

But the factory workers have objections!
Because of her granddaughter, a complete newbie, she replaced the experienced officer.

However, the factory was unwilling to set a precedent for rehiring workers.

We're just stuck here for now.

On the one hand, it allows Lao Wu to work and contribute to the country.

On the one hand, they don't pay Lao Wu his salary.

When Chen Qing heard Wu's wife ask that question, he explained his identity again.

Wu Xiuzhen said warmly, "Then stay for lunch!" "No, no, I came here to ask Master Wu some questions," Chen Qing replied, not wanting to be impolite.

Wu Xiuzhen smiled and said, "It's alright. We're all in the clothing industry. I'll call my son and daughter-in-law back later. They're both in sales, so they can ask you for some advice."

She said that.

Chen Qing couldn't refuse.

Master Wu also asked her, "What specific question did Factory Director Chen want to ask me?"

Chen Qing took out the blueprints directly: "Master Wu, these are some design drawings we prepared for next year's Canton Fair. They look new, but I always feel that something is missing. They're like a beauty without a skeleton, unable to stand up. Please take a look and tell me what the problem is."

These design drawings were all created by the design department.

Both she and Lin Leyu have a fatal problem.

You can draw your own drafts.

You can also give pointers on other people's drawings.

However, when it came to the sample garments, the clothes they produced were different. The two of them were always correcting them, but they couldn't give any truly insightful guidance.

Both of them took it for granted.

This shouldn't be bad.

How come the sample garments they made are so different!

This caused both of them a lot of headaches.

Training designers is just too difficult!!

Master Wu opened the door to the workshop.

A human proportion chart hangs on the wall, and the table is covered with chalk.

Chen Qing also keenly noticed a calligraphy scroll pasted on the wall that read, "The template is the bone, the material is the flesh, and the soul lies in the measure."

It seems she had heard this phrase from some big shot.

Master Wu said, "My wife is a doctor and she likes the human body. I improved my tailoring skills because of her."

Standing to the side, Wu Xiuzhen blushed and said, "Don't talk nonsense!"

I usually just talk to the kids at home about it.

They even boast when outsiders come.

This left her feeling utterly helpless.

Chen Qing looked at the two elders with starry eyes: "You two have such a good relationship."

Wu Xiuzhen waved her hand: "It's just about living life."

Master Wu looked at his wife for a while, then asked Chen Qing for the blueprints.

Chen Qing presented the blueprints with both hands.

Master Wu shook his head slightly, then pointed to the human body proportion diagram and said, "This is the trapezius muscle, and this is the deltoid muscle. This line only cares about appearance, without considering how the fabric will be stressed when a person moves. A good tailor should be able to see the living bones and muscles inside the clothes. You can't do that."

He went to get his drawings, pointing to the hunched back and raised arms of the figure in the drawing.

"When I was young, I spent ten years painting people in docks, alleys, and parks. You see, when a person moves, the muscles and skin of their whole body change."

Your clothes should change accordingly.

The reason you added a sag here isn't to cinch the waist, but to allow for more room for arm movement. The fabric should be pre-shrunk an inch more here to prevent deformation after strenuous exercise.

Design is not drawing; it's giving people a living, breathing skin.

Chen Qing stood there obediently.

She really learned a lot.

Master Wu shared his insights without reservation, saying, "The clothes worn by cadres should be crisp and show righteousness; the clothes worn by workers should be durable and allow for movement; and the clothes worn by young women should be playful and show off their figure. A piece of clothing is only truly useful when it is worn by the right person."
