Rebirth 1994: Starting from laid-off workers
Chapter 73 Go out more often
The group of people didn't go far, and ordered a table of home-cooked meals in the restaurant of the guest house. They didn't ask for any wine, and just started eating the staple food.
Guo Xiaonian and the three bachelors couldn't move their eyes away when they saw these beautiful girls.
It made several girls feel like they had fallen into a wolf's den.
Zhang Jiaqiang coughed a few times and glared at them, which relieved the embarrassment.
"Eat, eat. I heard that the food in the school is not good. You guys are eating open. If there is not enough, we will ask for more. These big brothers are all honest people. Don't be afraid. They are so virtuous and don't want to see beautiful women. They are used to it. That’s good!”
The three men's faces were red with shame and they lowered their heads in embarrassment.
The four girls covered their mouths and started laughing. Looking at Guo Xiaonian and the others, they didn't feel so scary anymore.
The food came to the table soon. They were all ordinary home-cooked dishes. In addition, the cooking skills of the guest house were mediocre, and they didn't look very good.
The purpose of tonight's dinner was to fill our stomachs, so Zhang Jiaqiang told everyone to be polite and open their mouths to eat.
The three men were embarrassed to speak and buried themselves in eating.
Only then did the four girls let go completely, lowering their heads and chewing slowly, looking so quiet and gentle.
At this time, Zhang Jiaqiang discovered that these girls were not picky about food and would eat whatever meat and vegetarian staples they wanted.
It seems that none of them are spoiled children, and their family situation should be average.
During the chat, Zhang Jiaqiang learned that the reason why they were unwilling to go back to school was that they were about to find jobs after graduation and had nothing to do when they returned to school. It would be more convenient to stay in the city.
You can also become more familiar with the business to avoid mistakes tomorrow.
From this point of view, the guess just now is correct. These girls are from ordinary families. After graduation, they are faced with finding jobs and starting to take on family responsibilities.
Zhang Jiaqiang said, "Should the school give you some hard work pay for this internship?"
A girl with big eyes and a snake-like face exclaimed, "Money for internship? I've never heard of it. It's good if we don't have to pay for internship!"
The other three girls also nodded and talked about how difficult the school conditions were. They usually design their own clothes and buy fabrics out of their own pockets. It is not easy to even apply for a sewing machine in the school.
Zhang Jiaqiang originally thought that they were just professional models, but after asking, he found out that most fashion schools majored in fashion design, and the models were at best amateurs.
However, the two girls who had just acted as demonstrations were here. Their steps, movements, and styles were all very professional. It seemed that they had put in a lot of effort.
Several girls said that their job intention is also design work, and as for modeling, they can only make guest appearances to earn some living expenses.
It's just that it's too difficult to find a job in fashion design now, and their school is a technical secondary school, so with low academic qualifications, there are fewer options.
Due to the time difference in opening up these years, the south is obviously ahead of the north, and the coastal areas are ahead of the inland.
Therefore, large clothing brands and companies are concentrated in the south, and there are very few in the north.
Although Qindao is a coastal city, the development of clothing is not as good as in the south.
If these girls don't want to become models or open their own clothing design stores, then they can only go to the south to find jobs.
While chatting and eating, several girls introduced themselves.
The big-eyed girl is named Zhou Bing, who is nineteen years old. She is also the eldest sister of these girls.
The youngest is a baby-faced girl named Gao Jie, who is very cute, like a child who has not grown up.
The other two are named Yang Xiaohong and Zhang Manli.
Their speech and behavior were all very decent, which allowed Zhang Jiaqiang to eliminate his initial opinion of them, and at the same time, a new idea sprouted in his mind.
Zhang Jiaqiang asked, "How many graduates from your school like fashion design like you?"
Zhou Bingbing tilted her head and said, "Of course there are more, but unfortunately there are very few who can design. Many of them have gone to the modeling team or found another career!"
Zhang Jiaqiang nodded and said, "Sometimes you may not be able to do this major after studying it. This is normal. It has something to do with your own abilities and hobbies!"
Gao Jie suddenly interrupted, "Sister Bing is not bad at it, and Manli, she designed a costume and almost won an award!"
Zhang Manli smiled shyly and said, "Don't listen to this girl's nonsense!"
Zhang Jiaqiang already knew this in his mind, and deliberately pretended to be surprised and said, "Then we really need to see something. When the event is over, the four of you can show me your most proud works. How about it?"
The four girls looked at each other for a while. Although they were not experienced in the world, they also realized that this might be a good opportunity.
After everyone had eaten and drank enough, Zhang Jiaqiang asked the four girls to rest early and pay attention to personal safety.
He was about to go out to eat with his three brothers. Yang Xiaohong, who had not spoken much during the meal, lowered her head and followed behind.
Zhang Jiaqiang stopped and asked, "Xiao Yang, what's wrong with you?"
Yang Xiaohong lowered her head shyly, as if she was hesitant to speak.
Zhang Jiaqiang said cheerfully, "I don't like to beat around the bush. If you have something to say, just tell me!"
Yang Xiaohong said shyly, "I like clothing design, and I also like to design other small things!"
Zhang Jiaqiang nodded for her to continue.
Yang Xiaohong became more courageous at this moment, "I saw that your company's lighters only have one kind of outer casing, which seems too monotonous. Can you design more designs?"
If it is just a disposable lighter, the simpler the better, but if it develops in the future, the product cannot be too monotonous. For example, some units have special requirements and must be met.
It’s not that Zhang Jiaqiang doesn’t want to design more designs, but he just doesn’t have the design talent at his disposal.
Today, Yang Xiaohong has successfully recommended herself, and Zhang Jiaqiang is very happy.
He said to Yang Xiaohong, "You should study the structure of some lighters carefully. If you can design a new style, I will buy your drawings for 1000 yuan for each type. If there are two or more types that have good market response, then the designer position in our factory will be given to you." Keep it!”
Yang Xiaohong almost jumped up with joy, "Thank you, Director Zhang, I will definitely come up with decent drawings!"
Seeing her walking away happily, Zhang Jiaqiang couldn't help but lament that developing an enterprise requires talents from many aspects, and advanced experience alone is not enough!
If you are still working behind closed doors at home, sooner or later you will become a loser who only relies on empiricism.
In the future, you should go out more and meet more people, so that you can discover more talents and make up for various shortcomings.
"Brother Jiaqiang, you also said that I can flirt with girls. You are so charming. My sister-in-law has to sneeze at home!" Qin Zongbao teased.
Zhang Jiaqiang frowned, "I'm serious about business, don't talk nonsense, where are you?"
Qin Zongbao said, "This is behind the Huanghai Hotel. Not far ahead we will find the Third Bathing Beach. It's cool at night there!"
"You three brothers have to go first, I'll call my wife!" Zhang Jiaqiang said and took out his mobile phone.
Guo Xiaonian and the three bachelors couldn't move their eyes away when they saw these beautiful girls.
It made several girls feel like they had fallen into a wolf's den.
Zhang Jiaqiang coughed a few times and glared at them, which relieved the embarrassment.
