Re-embroidering life

After a few days, Huixin's slavery was cancelled by the government and she obtained a new household registration. She used her original surname, Song, but did not change her name. From then on, she was called Song Huixin.

Huixin felt that the way the boss looked at her these days was not right. He always stared at her up and down, then fell into deep thought. She felt uneasy when being looked at, and always felt that she had done something wrong.

While she was daydreaming, Shui Qinghua waved at her. She walked into the room nervously and saw the host sitting at the head of the table with a serious expression. Huixin became even more uneasy.

"Song Huixin." Shui Qinghua called her, her voice was clear and a little soft, very pleasant to hear.

Hui Xin almost replied "I am here", but she held back and paused for a moment before saying, "Hui Xin is here."

Shui Qinghua's face was extremely solemn, as if the words she was about to say had already been turned over in her mind a thousand times.

"I have observed you for a long time, and among the women around me, you are the most talented. I have decided to pass on the Jiang embroidery skills to you."

The sudden surprise made Huixin's heart beat violently. She froze in place for a moment, forgetting to react. After a few breaths, she saw Shui Qinghua looking at her with smiling eyes, and she suddenly came back to her senses. "Boss, why me?"

"You are extremely intelligent, calm, strong-willed, and able to endure loneliness. I made this decision after careful consideration. But your shortcomings are also obvious. You have not received much education, and you are just starting out in embroidery. You are almost a blank slate. It will take at least three to five years to learn Jiang embroidery. I hesitated whether I should wait for you for a few years, but finally decided to wait." Shui Qinghua looked at Hui Xin with complicated eyes, which contained expectations and entrustment, but also a hint of anxiety.

"Boss, I don't understand."

Shui Qinghua smiled and said, "Zhen Luo Fang hasn't even thrown a punch, but just raised a little finger, and Shui Xiu Fang is already in a state of panic. We are still too weak, with neither government background nor strong financial resources. Si Yi Fang and Chu Xiu Pavilion are just business partners, and they are always measuring our value and examining our performance. In the end, we can only rely on ourselves."

Huixin still didn't understand what any of this had to do with her.

Shui Qinghua walked to the window and looked at the sky. Before, she was too idealistic. She was full of enthusiasm and was determined to reform as soon as she opened the business. When she was still weak, she accidentally offended the hidden forces. At that time, she did not realize that doing business is not about winning by embroidery products. There are too many determining factors.

Since everyone says that she is moving too fast, then she might as well slow down for a while and lie dormant for a while. Once she has quietly accumulated and built up her strength, she will come back.

Shui Qinghua turned around, and Huixin discovered that the boss's expression became relaxed, as if he had thrown away a heavy burden.

"Huixin, you don't need to worry about anything else. I want you to learn poetry, calligraphy, painting, and embroidery within three years. You have to learn everything from basic embroidery to natural embroidery to Jiang embroidery. Your burden will by no means be easy. Do you have the determination?" Shui Qinghua stared into Huixin's eyes.

"Yes." Huixin nodded heavily. She didn't think about whether she could do it. She only knew that she had to do it.

"Okay! Three years later, you and I will join forces. I want this Shui Xiu Workshop to be the only Jiang Xiu Workshop in Chu. I want everyone in Chu to know about Jiang Xiu in the future!" The doubts and frustrations of the past few days disappeared, and Shui Qinghua's heart was filled with lofty ambitions once again.

When Shui Yuhua learned that Shui Qinghua was going to teach Hui Xin Jiang embroidery, she pouted and asked, "Second sister, why don't you teach me?"

Shui Qinghua asked her: "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"How do you tell the truth?"

"It's just that you are mediocre and not qualified to learn Jiang embroidery."

"Second sister!" Shui Yuhua yelled, "The truth is too hurtful, I want to hear a lie!"

"The lie is that it will be very hard for you to learn Jiang embroidery, and I am worried about your health."

"Second sister, isn't this the same idea?"

"As long as you understand."

After the two sisters finished their quarrel, Shui Qinghua said to her sister in a serious tone: "Yuhua, you actually have more important things to do. In the next three years, Huixin will focus most of her energy on studying. You and Jianzhi will help me manage Shuixiufang. We can't afford to have Meng Xiu Niang's incident happen again."

Yuhua suddenly felt a heavy responsibility and pressure on her shoulders. "Second sister, I will do my best. I think there are loopholes in the previous management. We can't just sign a written contract and be done with it. We need to work harder in normal times."

Shui Qinghua agreed: "You and Jianzhi should come up with a management charter. The more detailed the better. If you don't understand something, go to Siyifang and Chuxiuge to ask for advice and see how the big embroidery workshops do it."

After arranging the personnel, Shui Qinghua announced four things: First, after three months, Shuixiufang will start accepting orders again, especially more hair embroidery orders. The core of hair embroidery lies in the processing of hair, especially the potion formula. This formula is firmly in the hands of its own people, and other embroidery workshops cannot learn it for the time being. Shui Qinghua asked Dou Jianzhi to find a way to collect more hair. She was considering using hair embroidery on more ordinary embroidery products, not just for babies and newlyweds.

Second, she will upgrade the skills of natural embroidery. Within three months, all embroiderers must learn the new natural embroidery method. She is the founder of natural embroidery. Isn't it true that all embroiderers can do natural embroidery? Let's have a head-to-head competition to see who has better skills.

Third, the frequency of embroidery pattern updates was changed from one quarter to half a year. If the speed was slowed down and other embroidery workshops could not keep up, they could only blame themselves for being idle, not her being too aggressive and causing public outrage.

Fourth, the secret code of Shuixiufang has been redesigned and will be used from now on. And she will still be the last person to close the needlework.

At the command, the entire embroidery workshop immediately started to move, busy but not chaotic, each doing their own thing. After this crackdown, the management of the embroidery workshop was significantly strengthened, and the first rule was to enforce orders.

When she walked out of the Shuixiu Workshop, Shui Qinghua asked herself, what was her original intention in opening the workshop? Initially, it was to create a new school that combines Suzhou embroidery and Chu embroidery. Although it has been hit hard and its pace has slowed down, she believes that as long as she does not give up improving her skills, she can still occupy a place in the market. When Jiang embroidery is fully launched in three years, it will be a new world. By then, she will not be satisfied with just creating a school, she wants her Shuixiu to be famous all over the country.

She has not lost yet, and will not admit defeat. Now all she needs is steadfastness and patience, and time to prove herself. If you want to drive her out of the embroidery industry, just come and fight.
