Wenxiu and Zhao Zhengfeng completed the handover procedures with the fat factory director. They saw him off and felt completely relieved.

Wenxiu and Zhao Zhengfeng returned to the factory and asked the gatekeeper Lao Liu for a tape measure and some A4 printing paper.

They roughly measured the factory area, and Wenxiu basically planned it according to the style of Guo Ximei's wholesale clothing store.

Wenxiu took photos of several machines. She planned to sell them online first. If they couldn’t be sold, she would think of other ways.

When Wenxiu left the factory, she called Old Liu over.

Old Liu almost ran up to Wenxiu, and before Wenxiu could speak, he spoke timidly in a negotiating tone.

"Boss, please give me a few days. I'll go out and find a place and move out as soon as I come back."

Wenxiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, what's your name?"

"To answer your question, my last name is Meng, Meng Cheng. I'm 58 years old and have worked in this factory for several years. Alas, this factory is in a downturn and I lost my job just like that." Old Liu said, lowering his head in frustration.

"How much did your previous boss pay you per month?"

"I live and eat in the factory, and I get 2000 yuan a month. At the end of the year, the factory manager gives me a bonus of around yuan, which is considered a year's bonus."

Wenxiu turned her head to look at Zhao Zhengfeng, thinking that we should keep Old Man Liu here.

Zhao Zhengfeng looked at Wenxiu's eyes, understood what she meant, and nodded knowingly.

Wenxiu then said to Lao Liu, "Master Liu, you stay here. We need someone to look after the factory anyway. The salary and benefits will be the same as before for now. If our performance is good, we can give you a proper increase."

When Old Liu heard this, he was so happy that his eyes narrowed into slits and his wrinkled face turned into a flower.

He rubbed his hands like a child, not knowing how to thank Wenxiu and the others.

"thank you boss……"

"You're welcome. We're all family from now on. My name is Ye Wenxiu, so just call me Wenxiu. Don't call me boss anymore. It sounds harsh and awkward."

Wenxiu really couldn't stand people calling her boss. She thought the title was a bit vulgar. She preferred people to call her by her real name, so she deliberately asked Lao Liu to call her by her name.

Wenxiu settled Lao Liu and prepared to leave with Zhao Zhengfeng.

Old Liu was very perceptive. He hurried over to open the small door and escorted them out.

Zhao Zhengfeng and Wenxiu had not walked far when Old Liu caught up with them from behind.

"Miss Wenxiu, Miss Wenxiu, wait a minute." He shouted as he chased her.

Wenxiu and Zhao Zhengfeng both stopped and looked back.

Wenxiu turned around and walked back a few steps, asking, "Master Liu, is there anything else?"

Old Liu was a little anxious and said, "Miss Wenxiu, I almost forgot. I don't have your contact information yet. If something happens, I won't be able to find you."

Wenxiu glanced at Zhao Zhengfeng who was following her and thought to herself, look how we have forgotten such an important matter.

Wenxiu smiled at the old man Liu who was rushing over and said, "Master Liu, we forgot about this matter because we were in such a hurry."

Wenxiu and Lao Liu both left each other their phone numbers, and Lao Liu breathed a sigh of relief, said goodbye and left.

Now that the factory is built, Wenxiu is worried about not being able to recruit workers. What if she can’t recruit workers? What if the old machines in the factory can’t be sold?

Last night, Wenxiu and Wenli posted the recruitment information on the Internet. Wenxiu opened the webpage early in the morning, but there was not a single person inquiring.

When they went back, Zhao Zhengfeng drove Wenxiu's van and Wenxiu sat in the passenger seat next to him.

Wenxiu looked out the window and said with a heavy heart, "Ah, Brother Zhengfeng, I was worried that it would be hard to find a factory. Now that I finally have one, it's hard to recruit skilled workers! And those piles of scrap metal in the factory make me so upset when I see them."

Zhao Zhengfeng glanced at Wenxiu, then looked at the front of the car, smiled and said, "What do you have to worry about? At first you were worried about finding a factory. After going to investigate in person, it was easy to find a factory."

Zhao Zhengfeng looked straight ahead, occasionally glancing at Wenxiu with a smile while speaking.

Zhao Zhengfeng paused and said, "The Internet is now well connected. As long as you can go online and want to find a job, you can see your recruitment information. You will definitely be able to recruit people by then."

"Don't worry too much. As for these machines, sell them if you can. If you really can't sell them, just sell them as scrap metal."

Wenxiu sighed and said, "Everything is difficult at the beginning. This time I really understand what people often say - it's easier said than done!"

While Wenxiu and Zhao Zhengfeng were talking, they opened the web page on their mobile phones to look at the recruitment information that she and sister Wenli posted last night. There were quite a few people browsing it, but still no one was interested.

At this time, Wenxiu's cell phone suddenly rang.

Wenxiu took a look and saw that it was Li Yuling calling, so she quickly answered the call.

"Wenxiu, we haven't seen each other for a while. I just heard from your sister Wenli that you are planning to open a clothing factory. Oh, it's such a big thing, and you didn't even tell me. Maybe I can help you."

"I haven't even started yet, so I don't dare to tell anyone. If I fail, won't people laugh at me?"

"I heard from your sister Wenli that you went to see the factory. How was it? She also said that you posted a job posting last night, but you haven't hired anyone yet."

"Oh! I was worried that it would be hard to rent a factory, but now it seems even harder to recruit skilled workers who can sew machines."

Li Yuling smiled darkly and said, "I'll help you find her. There's a younger sister of your brother Wu Bin's aunt. She worked in a garment factory in the south for a few years. Several people who went with her back then have returned. Now they are doing other jobs in Lancheng. I'll go back after get off work and ask for you."

Wenxiu agreed immediately and said, "Okay, okay, okay. The sooner the better. I'll treat you two to a meal when it's done."

Li Yuling suddenly asked Wenxiu: "Wenxiu, does Su Haoxuan know that you opened a clothing factory?"

Wenxiu curled her lips and didn't have much hope for her marriage with Su Haoxuan.

She said with a sullen face, "He doesn't know. He only knows that I'm selling clothes on the street. Oh, you're talking about him again. Do I need to consult him before I can do my job? We don't interfere with each other's work now. God knows whether we will succeed in the end or not. It's still uncertain."

Li Yuling said "hmm" and stopped asking about the personal relationship between Wenxiu and Su Haoxuan.

She said with a smile: "That's it. I'll go back and ask you about it and give you an answer tonight. I'm hanging up now."

After Li Yuling hung up the phone, Wenxiu felt a little heavy-hearted. She turned her head and looked out the window silently.

Zhao Zhengfeng was driving and turned his head to glance at Wenxiu beside him. Seeing her look, he grinned and shook his head and smiled, then turned back to stare ahead.

I thought: It seems that Wenxiu is not in a good mood. From what she said, her relationship with her boyfriend is not that good. Alas! As an outsider, I can't understand it at all.
