Chapter 651: The Top-Grade Cedar
Chapter 651: The Top-Grade Cedar
"Sorry." Wenwan hurriedly finished writing the last character, put down the pen, and walked away.
The man picked up the pen and signed the attendance book. Glancing at Wenwan’s name, he looked speechless. "You can even mess up your own name? I'm impressed! Seeing how slow you were, I thought your handwriting would be beautiful. It seems you had to write slowly because your handwriting is so bad. How can someone like this be a translator?"
Wenwan, who hadn’t walked far, was speechless.
After signing, the man noticed Jiang Xia’s signature and couldn’t help but say, "Xia, your handwriting is really beautiful!"
Wenwan: "..."
Here comes another person who praises one and belittles the other!
What a lack of manners!
She could compliment Jiang Xia’s handwriting, but why did he have to say hers was ugly?
Her handwriting had always been praised by her teachers since she was young!
Before Jiang Xia could answer, she smiled and said, "My signature was designed by someone. I practiced for a long time to write it like this."
"Names can be designed? Where did you find someone to design it? Can you tell me?"
Jiang Xia: "I met someone on the street near the city train station a while ago. I don’t know where they are now."
The man looked a bit disappointed and was about to say something else, but Jiang Xia’s phone call connected. She said, "Hello, is this Lawyer He?"
She then left the service center to attend to her business.
Wenwan put down the water pot, turned around, and met Jiang Xia’s eyes, not giving her a single glance.
She really disliked people who tried to ingratiate themselves with those born into privilege by belittling others.
And she could even mimic others’ handwriting!
Could she really copy any beautiful handwriting perfectly?
How could someone like her have such ugly handwriting?
Wenwan picked up the water pot from the table and glanced at Jiang Xia’s signature. It was just okay!
It looked like chicken scratch!
Jiang Xia had scheduled a meeting with the lawyer for ten o’clock the next morning at the clothing factory and hung up the phone.
She looked at her watch; it hadn’t even been twenty minutes.
She had no choice but to continue waiting at the service center.
At this moment, the staff member who had been tallying the statistics from the previous night arrived. Seeing Jiang Xia waiting there, he greeted her happily, "Xia, guess how many orders we received last night?"
Jiang Xia: "A hundred thousand?"
The staff member laughed, "Close! About five thousand less."
Their factory's goal for this year was a hundred thousand sets.
They hadn’t expected to nearly reach their goal in just one night.
Jiang Xia smiled, "That’s great. There should be more orders today."
"Right, there will probably be even more orders today."
But they probably wouldn’t receive another order in the millions.
After a brief chat, Jiang Xia called the production team again. Zhou’s Father answered the phone.
After explaining the situation to Zhou’s Father, Jiang Xia hung up and called the factory manager, informing him that Zhou’s Father would be meeting the lawyer at the factory at ten o’clock the next morning.
Yang Qiang had just started work and saw Jiang Xia making one call after another.
Without naming anyone, he said while signing, "The exhibit hall’s phone isn’t for private use. Don’t use the public phone for personal matters."
Jiang Xia: "Director Yang is right. I was just making calls to find a subcontractor for the clothing factory."
Yang Qiang snorted, "I wasn’t talking about you. I’m just afraid that some people get used to taking advantage of public resources and keep doing it more and more."
Jiang Xia: "I thought the phone could be used for emergencies by the staff. After all, I saw a man on the phone yesterday afternoon telling someone, ‘Please ask the boss’s wife to tell my wife that I won’t be home for dinner tonight.’”
The staff at the service center chuckled.
Jiang Xia looked at Yang Qiang. "Director Yang, who do you think that person is? I feel like their back looks a bit like yours. Director Yang, remember to call him out and talk to him! He's the one misusing public resources and mixing personal and professional matters! Unlike me, who has an urgent matter, does he really need to call home to say whether he’s coming back for dinner? Phone calls are so expensive these days; a few extra cents would be enough for a meal! Don't people usually communicate with their families before leaving home whether they’ll be back for dinner? Even if they forget, by dinner time, their families would know they’re not coming back! Even if they do, the food can always be saved for later! Don’t you think?"
Yang Qiang: "…"
Jiang Xia noticed his face turning dark and added, "Such people must be called out! Otherwise, they won’t know they’re wrong!"
After saying this, Jiang Xia glanced at her watch. "Oh, it’s already past 8:30! Isn’t the workday supposed to start at 8? I, a part-time worker with no fixed schedule, arrived before 8. When did you get here, Director Yang? Did you go around the exhibition booths already?"
Yang Qiang: "…"
At 8 AM, the exhibition hall usually didn’t have any foreign merchants, so Yang Qiang often arrived a bit later.
Who would dare to point out his tardiness to his face?
Sure enough, Jiang Xia was just as much of a thorn as her sister had described!
Yang Qiang was fuming.
No one had ever spoken to him like that before.
Let her have her moment; after the trade fair, he would make her pay!
"Since you know it’s 8:30, why aren’t you working? What are you doing here, chatting so much? Do you think you don’t need to work?"
Jiang Xia: "I can work or not; I’m not getting paid. If I feel good, I’ll work; if not, I’ll go home and lie down. Unlike some people who are paid by taxpayers, supported by millions of farmers, you shouldn’t be late or leave early!"
Yang Qiang: "…"
Indeed, for every sentence he said, she could counter with ten!
“Headstrong” and “stubborn” were the perfect words to describe her!
Anyone who had her as a child would probably be driven to their grave!
Whoever married a woman like her would be in for a tough time!
Even a simple argument could make him furious!
Jiang Xia successfully silenced him, feeling a sense of relief, before walking away.
She knew why Yang Qiang was targeting her. On the way back last night, Jiang Dong had told her that Yang Qiang was Yang Ying’s brother. Zhang Fuyan had told him to remind her.
Yang Ying had been suspended last year and lost her job.
Yang Qiang’s targeting her was a way to vent for Yang Ying.
Jiang Xia arrived at the clothing factory’s booth, and the factory manager immediately said, "Xia, the order quantities from last night are in."
Jiang Xia smiled. "I already know, I went to the service center."
At that moment, Peng Yuhua walked over. "Xia, come to our factory today! Our booth is your main base."
Factory Manager Qiu also approached. "Xia, our fashion show is tonight. Come help us!"
Factory Manager He: "You should all wait. Many of the buyers from last night haven’t placed their orders yet. They’ll definitely come this morning. Once they place their orders, I won’t compete for Xia’s time."
Factory Manager Qiu: "You stay out of it. Don’t compete with me. You reached your target last night, and now you want us to wait in line! With such a successful fashion show last night, it’s your problem if you can’t keep the orders. I have a fashion show tonight! Xia, come to my booth first."
Here we go again!
Jiang Xia quickly laid out her plan. "This morning, I’ll be at Factory Manager He’s booth, and this afternoon, I’ll go to Factory Manager Qiu’s. Factory Manager Peng, I’ll come to your booth tomorrow morning."
