"Li Chaoyang, isn't your steel rolling mill workshop doing quite well?"

Chapter 386 The Costume Problem Solved [Please Subscribe]

"Well, I'm not entirely sure about this right now. Anyway, the factory manager says that they don't have the money to make the costumes for the time being, but the workers have already rehearsed and all that's left is the costumes."

Factory Director Cui pondered: Such a large steel rolling mill can't even afford to make such a small amount of money for workers to order custom-made uniforms.

Even then, it might not be possible to take it out later.

Since Li Chaoyang has come to find me, why not do him a favor and kill two birds with one stone?

　"990" is a way to motivate the key personnel in their own factory.

“Li Chaoyang, in principle, I cannot produce this batch of clothing without accepting a deposit.”

"Since your factory can't come up with the deposit for making the garments right now, I think it's a problem whether you can come up with it in the future."

How many people from your factory are participating in this competition?

"More than 100 people, right?"

"Li Chaoyang, how about this? Our factory is also participating in the city's competition this time."

"How about this, the participants from your factory and the participants from our factory can be combined into one big team, and we can participate in the competition together."

"How about this? In this way, the uniforms for the workers in your factory who are participating in the competition will be made by our factory free of charge."

Li Chaoyang understood the meaning behind Director Cui's words.

Logically speaking, even if Director Cui's factory employees had uniforms, they should be able to participate in this competition.

They might not even get first place.

Let alone first place, even the top 10 might not be possible.

The reason for having Li Chaoyang lead the workers from the garment factory was...

All they wanted was for Li Chaoyang to share half of the honor of winning the first prize with the clothing factory.

However, Li Chaoyang thought that if he didn't agree to Elder Cui's condition...

However, the problem of clothing for the workers in their own factory has remained unresolved.

If the garment factory manager's request is granted, the garment problem can be solved.

"Director Cui, that's a good idea, but what should we say when we announce the program if our two factories join forces to participate in the competition?"

"Oh, these are all minor matters. As long as you agree, it's all negotiable. Can we say it's a combined team from the steel mill and the garment factory?"

Li Chaoyang felt that this was the only way to solve the problem of workers' clothing.

They then agreed to Director Cui's request.

Factory Director Cui instructed Li Chaoyang to report the height, weight, and size of the participants to the garment workers in the factory.

The workers were instructed to finish customizing the garments within the next seven days.

Li Chaoyang quickly returned to the steel rolling mill workshop and collected the height, size, and weight of the participants that he had previously tallied.

This data sheet was then given to the garment factory.

Seeing Li Chaoyang's cheerful demeanor, Deputy Section Chief Liu from the Publicity Department inquired about his situation.

"Section Chief Li, you seem so happy, what's the good news?"

"With the clothing problem solved, how could I not be happy?"

"The clothing issue has been resolved? Has the accountant ordered it? How come I didn't know?"

"I contacted a clothing factory, and they agreed to help us participating workers by making costumes for the performance on May 5.8th."

Upon hearing Li Chaoyang's words, Deputy Section Chief Liu felt that Li Chaoyang was truly capable.

Li Chaoyang actually solved the problem that the factory manager couldn't solve before.

The news quickly spread throughout the entire steel rolling mill.

The news reached Director Wang's ears.

Factory Director Wang felt that Li Chaoyang was stealing the spotlight, so he actually contacted a garment factory to order this batch of clothes.

He immediately came out of the office to find Li Chaoyang.

"Li Chaoyang, I heard you've already ordered the costumes for the performers. Where did you get so much money?"

"I didn't spend any money; the garment factory customized them for the workers for free!"

"There's no such thing as a free lunch."

"Factory manager, you're right, of course there's no such thing as a free lunch. Now the steel rolling mill and the garment factory have formed a chorus, a combined team."

"Li Chaoyang, whose permission did you get? You just unilaterally combined our steel rolling mill and garment factory into one team. Do you have that right?"

"Factory manager, isn't it a bit irresponsible of you to say that? I've been rehearsing with everyone, and all we're missing now are the costumes."

"If we can't prepare the costume for this performance, won't all the rehearsals be for nothing?"

“I’ve contacted you so many times before, but you just keep delaying and never resolve this issue. You always use the excuse that the factory is short of funds and doesn’t have the money to make custom clothing to brush me off.”

"So what exactly do you mean? I'm asking you, but you won't solve it. I'm trying to solve it myself, but you're unwilling to."

Li Chaoyang thought to himself, "You, Factory Director Wang, have clearly embezzled the money."

The problem can't be solved now, even though half of your factory's honor has been given away.

But it's still much better than not getting it at all.

You got a good deal here and now you're acting innocent, coming here to question me.

"Li Chaoyang, no matter what, you need to get rid of this matter as soon as possible. I'll figure out a way to deal with the clothing issue for now, but it's impossible to merge with a clothing factory and form a team."

"How can our prestigious factory team up with other factories?"

Li Chaoyang was very unhappy that the factory director didn't appreciate his efforts and was even blaming him instead.

Don't get angry anywhere.

Previously, the investigation had uncovered many personal issues concerning the factory manager.

The factory manager is still here, not supporting my work, and even hindering it.

Li Chaoyang flew into a rage and shouted at the factory manager.

"What are you yelling at me for? You've embezzled all the money, and now you're acting all high and mighty with me? If you're so capable, go and settle this yourself!"

Factory Director Wang was surprised when Li Chaoyang said that.

Already feeling guilty, he was even more afraid that Li Chaoyang would spread these words.

Li Chaoyang must have found out something about me.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have dared to say such things so blatantly in front of me.

The factory manager saw that a large crowd had gathered outside Li Chaoyang's office because of the two people's loud voices.

The factory manager immediately suppressed his anger and said to Li Chaoyang.

"Chaoyang, go talk to Director Cui of the garment factory and cancel the group arrangement."

“How can our large factory with more than 2 employees cooperate with a small factory with only a few thousand employees? It’s obvious that our factory is at a disadvantage.”

"We can't give this honor to them. Even if we participate in the 997 competition, we are determined to win first place."

"Isn't this blatantly giving him half of my honor? I can't accept this kind of loss!"

Li Chaoyang found what Factory Director Wang said to be completely unreasonable.

"I can accept the refund, but can you order the clothes for me? If you can't, I absolutely will not accept the refund."

"Furthermore, there are only five or six days left. How can you possibly finish making costumes for several hundred people?"

"Alright, factory manager, since you've come this far, I'll give you one day."

"If you can remake this outfit within a day, I'll cancel the entire order."

Factory Director Wang was already suppressing his anger at Li Chaoyang's defiant attitude.

Now I can't say anything.

He was so angry that his face turned red and his neck bulged.

He glanced at the onlookers outside the door, pointed at Li Chaoyang, and whispered something.

"Fine, Li Chaoyang, you've got guts. Go ahead and challenge me, huh? You just wait!"

The factory manager walked away triumphantly.

Li Chaoyang watched the factory director's departing figure, his anger still burning.

Previously, only half of the factory manager's unscrupulous deeds were investigated.

Now that Li Chaoyang felt the clothing issue was resolved, he needed to continue investigating.

The few people standing outside Li Chaoyang's office saw the factory director leave.
