Republic of China Designer [Transmigration Book]
Chapter 30 (1)
On this day, Xia Jinting went to Yimingfang alone to register. Yimingfang is located in the most prosperous business district in Haicheng.
This was beyond Xia Jinting's expectations. The book mentions that Gu Que loves Baroque-style Western architecture the most, and pursues the architectural style with complicated patterns and grandeur. Simple beauty.
Confusion flashed across Xia Jinting's mind, and soon, he couldn't care less about thinking about it.
There was a long queue in front of Yimingfang, and there were more people who came to sign up than Xia Jinting expected.
Xia Jinting stood still at the end of the team, and suddenly heard a voice of great surprise: "It's you!"
Xia Jinting turned around following the sound, and saw a young man in a linen shirt looking at him with surprise.
A little familiar, Xia Jinting looked at the man up and down, and suddenly remembered: "Ah Cheng!"
The young man in front of him was Acheng who was selling fruit in Qiren Lane that day.
In the past he was always wearing a bunt, his skin was tanned, but today he was wearing a linen gown, Xia Jinting didn't recognize him for a while.
"Are you here to sign up too?" Xia Jinting was slightly surprised. He hadn't seen him for a while, and Ah Cheng seemed to be a different person, looking very energetic.
"I want to learn a craft, but I can't sell fruit on the side of the road for a lifetime!"
It turned out that after Peng Xiuhua and Liang Siwei broke up, Mr. Acheng greeted Peng Xiuhua with greetings, and now the two are not yet full lovers.There is hope in Ah Cheng's life, and a positive idea emerges.After all, selling fruit is not a long-term solution, nor can it give Peng Xiuhua a stable life. It just so happened that Yimingfang opened a training class, and Ah Cheng also came to sign up.
Xia Jinting sighed: "It turns out that so many things have happened since I left." Looking back now, the bits and pieces of Qiren Lane are like a distant dream, but no matter where Xia Jinting is, there is a corner in the depths of memory , the smell of food in the alleys and the laughter of simple men and women are always hidden.
"Come on together!" Xia Jinting smiled and encouraged Ah Cheng.
Although the queue for registration was long, the efficiency was very high.Xia Jinting carefully observed the surroundings, hoping to observe the passing standards.
But soon, he gave up.
There is really no standard. At first, Xia Jinting thought it was because of his appearance, but he watched a hunched man get the number plate. Then Xia Jinting thought it was about age, but he saw an elderly man who successfully got the number plate. .If it wasn't for the fact that it was not stated in the advertisement that no training fees would be charged, Xia Jinting would have suspected that Yimingfang was using this gimmick to defraud people of their money.
When it was Xia Jinting's turn, the staff's eyes lit up, and he said: "No. 12, pass, let's go in."
The whole process took only three to five seconds. Xia Jinting had never seen such a posture before. When he entered the store, he realized that the people who passed the registration were divided into groups according to their numbers.
A group of four people studied with a tutor. After three months, Yimingfang set up a test to compare the students' learning results. Those who passed the test stayed and those who failed left.
Xia Jinting and A Cheng were in a group, and there were two other members in the same group. The four greeted each other and waited patiently for the teacher to come.
After a while, teachers came over one after another. Many of them were old and had thick calluses on their fingertips. Xia Jinting knew that it was caused by the thimble rubbing against the fingertips for a long time.
After waiting for a while, the instructors of the other groups were all in place, but they were the only group that hadn't seen the instructors for a long time.
Ah Cheng was impatient, and got a little impatient: "I've been waiting for a long time, why haven't you come yet?"
Xia Jinting vaguely felt that this was a warning given to them by the teacher, and this idea was verified when Xia Jinting met the real person.
The teacher in their group was a fat man who staggered when he walked, and sweated from his forehead when he moved a little.
When seeing a newcomer, the instructor doesn't even say hello, just sits on the chair and yells loudly: "I'm exhausted!"
Seeing that the newcomers were standing still, he yelled again: "What are you doing here, one or two are like mallets, and you don't even know how to pour a glass of water for the master."
Xia Jinting frowned, regardless of other things for the time being, with the current posture, this teacher must be a master.
The people in Yimingfang have such qualities, they are really upright and crooked!
Xia Jinting was slandering, when suddenly he heard the teacher who led the teacher say: "You, come here, give your master Zhou a kick!"
Xia Jinting raised his eyes and saw that bloated knuckles were pointing at him.He pursed his lips and did not move.
Ah Cheng saw it from the side, and hurriedly came forward to rescue him and said, "Master Zhou, I will beat you!"
Fortunately, Master Zhou didn't entangle him too much, he just snorted and said, "It's not stupid to be good-looking. It's long..."
The people in the same group understood it, and they all came forward to flatter Master Zhou, but Xia Jinting stood on the periphery, hesitating: Is it really the right choice to come to Yimingfang?No matter what, since he came in, he had to endure it, Xia Jinting asked himself that he is not a person who is afraid of hardship and tiredness, he can't do things like flattery, but he can always do his job well, listen more and learn more.
The setting of the training course is divided into two parts: theory and practice. The theory mainly introduces the business scope, business philosophy, service purpose, etc. of Yimingfang. The practice is taught by the instructors of each group. , Sewing four modules, the assessment questions after March will focus on assessing these contents.
Today, I will take a theoretical class first. The business philosophy of Yimingfang is "integrity first, quality first" and requires employees to work hard and never lose shape.Xia Jinting listened under the stage, and sneered inwardly, anyone can say high-sounding words, the key depends on how well they do it.Yimingfang is a typical example of talking too much and doing little. The old people use their accents to put on airs to bully the newcomers, and they dare to say "get along in harmony and make progress together."
After listening to the whole day, Xia Jinting rubbed his temples tiredly, packed his things and prepared to leave.
Yimingfang provided accommodation for its employees, but Xia Jinting was used to living in soft beds, and it was difficult for him to live in a garden villa.
When Xia Jinting got home, as soon as Xia Jinting opened the door, he was aroused by the smell of food, and Mr. Gu started cooking again.
Mr. Gu's working hours are very flexible. Except for occasional business trips, he can work at home most of the time.
Cooking has almost become one of his amateur hobbies. Whenever he has free time, he cooks various dishes. The key point is that he is extremely talented. The dishes he cooks are very suitable for Xia Jinting's taste.
Today Gu Que made a dish of braised duck with rice wine, the aroma of the wine was overflowing, Xia Jinting's originally dull mood suddenly recovered.
He walked into the kitchen and leaned against the wall to watch Gu Que busy.
Gu Que was very organized in his work, typically busy but not chaotic. When he noticed the movement behind him, he tilted his head slightly and said with a smile, "I'm back, I'll be fine soon."
Xia Jinting's heart skipped a beat because of this sentence.
These words were too natural, as natural as if they were a couple who had been together for many years.
Xia Jinting patted his face vigorously: What are you thinking, your career has not improved at all, and you are still daydreaming here, it's time to fight!
Just as he was thinking, the fragrant rice wine braised duck came out of the pot, Gu Que took out a champagne from the cabinet, and opened the bottle neatly.
Xia Jinting smiled and said, "What are you doing drinking?"
"Celebrate." Gu Que poured champagne into the glass.
"How do you know I will pass?"
"I believe in you." Under the light, Gu Que looked up at Xia Jinting.
The man's eyes were like amber, shining brightly.
Xia Jinting didn't dare to look too much, and raised his glass to calm his restless heart.
"How is today?" Gu Que lowered his gaze, caring as usual.
"It's okay, don't worry, I can handle it." Xia Jinting chewed the soft and rotten duck meat, complaining about the owner of Yimingfang thousands of times in his heart.
However, Mr. Gu mentioned that name in the next second: "Meet Gu Que?"
"How can it be?" Xia Jinting shook his head, "Mr. Gu is a busy man, how can ordinary people see him? Why, Mr. Gu wants to see him?"
Gu Que shook his head, hiding the wry smile on his lips, "You make him so unbearable, it makes me curious."
"Speaking of which, you both have the surname Gu, but you are two completely different people." Xia Jinting looked at Gu Que with a smile, "I think you are stronger than Gu Que."
"Ahem!" Gu Que coughed when he heard this sentence, and quickly covered his lips with a napkin: "What do you say?"
"You are a real gentleman, much better than a hypocrite like Gu Que!"
As soon as Xia Jinting finished speaking, Gu Que coughed more violently.
"You are so sure that he is a hypocrite, maybe you have misunderstood him?" Gu Que tried to restore his image.
"Impossible!" Xia Jinting was very sure. He had read the original book and opened his eyes. Gu Que could fool others, but he couldn't!
"People in Yimingfang say that Gu Que is a hypocrite?" Gu Que asked tentatively.
Xia Jinting shook his head, he got angry when he mentioned this, he thought that the employees all hated Gu Que, but at the end of the day, Xia Jinting found that this was not the case at all, the employees of Yimingfang were all talking good things about Gu Que. Let Xia Jinting have a tragic feeling that the whole world is turbid and I am alone!
"They were all blinded by petty gains!" Xia Jinting complained, "No, they have been oppressed for a long time and are used to it! But I believe that wherever there is oppression, there will be resistance!"
"Where there is oppression, there is resistance?" Gu Que smiled meaningfully as he looked at Xia Jinting's face flushed from alcohol.
What Xia Jinting didn't expect was that "Where there is oppression, there is resistance" came true.
From the next day when he went to work, Master Zhou, who taught him, always targeted him intentionally or unintentionally, and always handed him tedious and insignificant work.
For example, in the practical class, Master Zhou sent Xia Jinting to do some work that had nothing to do with the course content.
It was obviously neatly arranged silk thread, but Master Zhou insisted on him to go and count it, and also stipulated that it should be finished before the end of the class, which directly caused Xia Jinting to fail to complete the class.
It was like this for several days, even Ah Cheng saw something was wrong, and comforted Xia Jinting with a worried face: "I have attended the class, but I didn't study well. Master Zhou only let us watch from the sidelines, never let us Get started, if you want to learn, I can try to tell you."
As soon as Xia Jinting heard this, he understood that Master Zhou had no intention of teaching the newcomers at all, the original intention of the practical operation was to do it by hand, and not letting the newcomers try it, no matter how many times they watched it, it would not help.
Xia Jinting thought about it, and finally came up with a solution.He led Acheng to the abandoned warehouse of Yimingfang, which is a place for storing waste materials and clothing tools, and usually no one would come here.
Xia Jinting lit a candle, found a wooden mannequin from the trash, and said to Ah Cheng, "Let's get started."
Although Ah Cheng has never practiced it, he is good at listening to the lectures and has a strong memory. He can remember the essentials of movements that Master Zhou casually said.
Xia Jinting has the foundation of his previous life, he can fully understand the "jargon", and he can grasp the essentials in just a few words.
Holding a tape measure, he made gestures on the old wooden mannequin, and explained to Ah Cheng while making contact.
Seeing that Xia Jinting's movements were more agile and proficient than Master Zhou, Ah Cheng was stunned: "Xia, Mr. Xia...you are too good."
The reason Ah Cheng was so surprised was because he had tried it himself.
Measuring the body is not difficult at first glance, but you will know how difficult it is when you really get started.Especially when looking at the scale on the tape measure, Ah Cheng stared at it for a long time and couldn't make it right, but Xia Jinting could blurt out the scale, and it was extremely accurate every time.
Through this kind of practice, Ah Cheng finally figured out what measuring body is all about, and he also knew that talking on paper would not work, so Master Zhou would always ask Xia Jinting for advice on anything he taught.
Xia Jinting failed to attend class, but was handpicked by Master Zhou during the job test. If he changed to someone with no foundation, something would definitely go wrong.
But Xia Jinting did it very properly. For example, when measuring his body, Master Zhou asked him to help him with the ruler, so he buried his head in the ruler, not breaking the rules, and asked him to report the number, and he could report it quickly and accurately. Master Zhou wanted to find He scolded him all over the place, and went back and forth again and again, but he didn't find a chance.
One day, a man came to the store, and he started to shout as soon as he entered the store: "Where are you guys? I'm going to make clothes!"
Xia Jinting glanced at the man, and saw that he was not very old, but his back was particularly hunchbacked, and ordinary clothes were not suitable for him.
It just so happened that it was Master Zhou's turn to be on duty, so it was natural that Master Zhou should help the man measure his body.But at this point in the afternoon, Master Zhou was used to taking a nap, Xia Jinting couldn't do it, so he had to comfort the guests while sending someone to invite Master Zhou.
The helpless hunchbacked man was very angry, and he kept complaining: "What kind of suit shop are you? You are the number one in Haicheng. I don't think so." ""You are so passive and sabotage, does the boss know?"
His voice was so high and bright that the shop assistants couldn't do anything about him, and they didn't dare to touch him. Only Xia Jinting held a bowl of chrysanthemum tea and handed it to the man: "Sir, drink some water first."
Xia Jinting's attitude was respectful, and the tea was brewed to a suitable temperature. Even if the customers were angry, it was not easy to have a fit, so the shop was quiet for a while.
After a cup of tea, Master Zhou finally woke up. He had a big belly, his belt was only half tied, and he looked unhappy at being disturbed.
"Hurry up, one or two are dead, don't you know how to work without me?" Master Zhou picked up the measuring tape cursingly, and shouted, "Where are people?"
He took a look, good guy, he's a hunchback.
Experienced garment makers know that the difficulty of making garments will increase if the body shape of the customers is not standard.In the case of the current guest, it is called a big hunchback in the industry, and the standard style chart is not applicable to him. The proportions and lines of the clothes have to be readjusted, which takes a lot of effort.Master Zhou had always been impatient, so he lost his temper and spat: "What a bad luck!"
The volume of these words was not low, the hunchbacked guest heard clearly, immediately dropped the glass, and said angrily: "What did you say?!"
"Did I tell you? What are you so excited about!" Master Zhou also had a bad temper, and when the two bad tempers collided, sparks flew everywhere in an instant.
"What kind of service attitude do you have! You are in charge, I want to complain! The store is amazing, can the store bully customers at will?" the hunchbacked man shouted again.
Master Zhou has calmed down now. Although he is still stern, he also knows that he has violated the rules of hospitality in Yimingfang.
He intended to calm down the matter, and warned others not to spread the matter with a stern face, while softening his tone and apologizing to the guests.
But this guest is a stickler, he doesn't accept an apology at all, and he keeps asking for a manager.
The steward is caught between the two parties, in a dilemma.
The guest asked to change the master, but Master Zhou was the only one on duty. Calling other masters would definitely delay the guest's time.
The steward talks about everything, but the guests just don't let go.
At the end, the guest raised his hand and pointed: "Come and measure it for me!"
Xia Jinting became the lucky one to be selected again. The manager knew that Xia Jinting had little seniority, so he apologized to the guest and said, "Xiao Xia is a newcomer, or Master Zhou..."
"I want him to measure!" The guest insisted on Xia Jinting.
Unable to manage things, he had no choice but to wink at Xia Jinting desperately, asking him to resign on his own.
But Xia Jinting opened his mouth, but what he said was completely different from what the manager meant: "Sir, please raise your hand."
Body measurement is the basis of clothing making. Only accurate measurement data can make suitable suits.
Xia Jinting measures the body, following the principle of "one look, two questions". The so-called "one look" refers to the body shape and face shape.
The guest's figure is obviously hunchbacked, so the data of the guest's waist is particularly important.
After mastering the first-hand data, Xia Jinting started the "second question". The content of the second question included the preferences and requirements of the customers. For example, some customers like to wear loose clothes, so a certain margin should be added to the specific bust data.
Xia Jinting was carrying the ruler while chatting with the customer: "Sir, do you like loose or tight ones?"
The guest thought for a while and replied: "It's winter, I'm used to adding clothes to my suit."
Having said this, Xia Jinting understood, and consciously made his waistline looser.
The steward was pleasantly surprised to find that Xia Jinting's movements were very neat and skillful when measuring the body of the guests, and his tone was gentle and calm, which was much better than the bossy master Zhou.
He looked at Xia Jinting approvingly, but directed Master Zhou to help Xia Jinting.
Master Zhou has always thought highly of himself. Wherever he has suffered such a loss, he is reluctant to even record a statistic.
Time passed by every minute, and the body measurement was coming to an end, and the guests' emotions calmed down a lot under Xia Jinting's comfort.
Just at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.
Xia Jinting didn't look back, but it was a woman wearing high heels.
"Aren't you alright? Why is it taking so long!" Sure enough, a woman's charming voice came, and Xia Jinting was reading the ruler when he noticed that the guest's body trembled suddenly, pulling the tape measure.
There is something wrong with this set of numbers and it can no longer be used.
Xia Jinting re-measured him in a good-tempered manner, but since the woman entered the shop, the hunchback customer became restless visibly, and his body was always moving around.
"Sir, you'll be fine soon. If you're tired, would you like to rest for a while?" Xia Jinting asked politely.
Before the guest could answer, the girl in high heels said, "Don't worry, I'm in a hurry, measure quickly!"
Hearing this, the hunchback guest became emotional immediately: "Huang Yun, I don't need you to wait, you hurry up!"
"Hey, Gao Zhilang, what are you looking like? With your body shape, which clothes look good on you!" Huang Yun retorted.
Gao Zhilang's face was flushed with anger, his chest heaved violently, Xia Jinting glanced at him and smiled.
"What are you laughing at?!" Gao Zhilang hated being ridiculed for hunchback, and his nerves were fragile and sensitive.
"I laugh that Ms. Huang is wrong." Xia Jinting's tone was gentle, and he kept measuring with his hands, "In the clothing industry, Mr. Gao's body shape is also called calf waist. As long as you make the right style, the upper body of the suit very nice."
"Cow's waist?" Huang Yun was taken aback, "You mean, you can make a suit that suits him?"
"Of course, the purpose of body measurement is to design clothes according to each person's different body shapes. It is our duty to design suits that satisfy customers." Xia Jinting's professional movements and firm eyes made Huang Yun feel embarrassed.
She looked into the mirror curiously, and it was amazing to say that, hearing the term "calf waist", Huang Yun felt that Gao Zhilang's hunchback was much more pleasing to the eye.
She is the only daughter in the family, and she was ordered by her parents to discuss marriage with Gao Zhilang. In fact, Gao Zhilang is a progressive person and treats her well, but Huang Yun has always been disgusted by her conspicuous hunchback.
This custom-made wedding dress, the two disagreed. Gao Zhilang was used to wearing long gowns and mandarin jackets, and felt that the long gowns were wide and could cover the hunchback, so the wedding gowns also wanted to be made in Chinese style, while Huang Yunshang’s new school wanted to wear plain white ones. The wedding dress, the two had a big fight over it.
Huang Yun was furious, and in a hurry, he opened his mouth to mock Gao Zhilang's figure.This is exactly what Gao Zhilang cares about the most. The two had a quarrel, and finally, under the mediation of the parents of both parties, the two took a step back and wore suits for wedding photos, and Chinese dresses for the wedding.
Although the matter was settled, a grudge was planted in the hearts of both parties. The more Huang Yun looked at it, the more he felt that Gao Zhilang's hunchback was ugly, and he was even reluctant to accompany him to Yimingfang to make clothes. Gao Zhilang entered the shop full of anger. Only then have all kinds of talents.
After Xia Jinting explained this time, Huang Yun also realized that she had gone too far, she made up for it, looked at the person in the mirror and said with a smile: "Looking at it this way, it's really good."
Gao Zhilang showed surprise, he was used to Huang Yun's sarcasm and sarcasm, suddenly such a boast, it seemed like the sun came out from the west.
"Clothing can be used to improve the body shape. The masters of Yimingfang have made clothes for many calf waist customers. The effect is very good. You can rest assured." After Xia Jinting finished speaking, he simply put away the measuring tape, Chong Gao Zhi Lang nodded and said: "Mr. Gao, it's ok."
With Xia Jinting's words, the young couple's mood cleared after a storm, and their tone became much gentler. The steward took out the score sheet as usual and asked the two to give a score. Gao Zhilang gave a perfect score with a swipe of his pen.
The steward was very happy, and felt that this month's reward was expected, but he sent the guest out of the house calmly.
When turning back, he looked at Xia Jinting like looking at a golden doll, and his attitude towards Xia Jinting was also very gentle: "You are tired, go and rest quickly."
After finishing speaking, he turned to look at Master Zhou: "Zhou Hou, come here!"
Xia Jinting was really tired. He insisted on exercising these days, and his physical condition has improved. However, work like body measurement consumes both physical and mental energy, and he feels exhausted after doing it.
Taking advantage of the lack of people, he leaned on a corner of the sofa to rest.
Ah Cheng looked at Xia Jinting adoringly: "You are too powerful, you were able to persuade that couple who were arguing so fiercely just now."
Xia Jinting smiled wearily. For him, these are the basic jobs in the industry.
Guests have self-respect, especially those with natural defects like Gao Zhilang, they will pay more attention to the defects themselves.
In order to take care of the sensitive emotions of customers, there is a common jargon in the clothing industry, such as a hunchback called a calf waist, and a slippery shoulder called a beauty shoulder. The purpose of saying this is to take care of the customer's face.
As for persuasion, Xia Jinting only used hints, which is a compulsory course for practitioners in the service industry, to give customers positive psychological hints, so that they can get rid of negative emotions and accept the product.It's just that this set of methodologies cannot be explained to Ah Cheng.
Ah Cheng now regards Xia Jinting as an idol, and always pesters him when he is resting. For example, right now, he is pestering Xia Jinting to gossip about Master Zhou: "I heard that Master Zhou's customer satisfaction rating has been continuous for several months. Failed, the steward’s bonus is linked to customer satisfaction, and I’m getting angry right now.”
Xia Jinting was very interested in mentioning this. The customer satisfaction score is also an original system created by Yimingfang.
"Since he failed the exams one after another, how can he stay?" Xia Jinting closed his eyes and meditated.
"I heard that he is Master Liu's nephew. The steward looked at Master Liu's face and turned a blind eye to Zhou Hou's crimes."
Xia Jinting understood that there was nepotism, no wonder Zhou Hou acted so arrogantly.
All assessments are all deceitful superficial efforts, and Xia Jinting's impression of Yimingfang once again fell to the bottom.
Ah Cheng was so excited that he didn't notice that Zhou Hou was standing behind them, staring at them fiercely.
Xia Jinting made a wrong eye and met the gloomy eyes, goosebumps formed on his arms.He said in a deep voice, "Ah Cheng!"
"Ah?" Ah Cheng turned around belatedly, startled by Zhou Hou, and immediately shut up.
Xia Jinting's heart sank slightly, he knew that with Zhou Hou's temperament, he would not let it go, and he had to be more cautious in the days to come.
Xia Jinting wanted to be on guard, but he didn't expect Zhou Hou's revenge to come so quickly.
In a group of four, each group is equipped with a mentor. This is a system established by Yimingfang. However, apart from this relationship, strictly speaking, Xia Jinting and the others are not apprentices who are mentors. This is also different from the current industry. The master-apprentice system is different.
The traditional master-apprentice system has a grand apprenticeship ceremony. The apprentice is not only a student, but also a half-servant of the master. He has to work hard and take care of the master's daily life.
One day, Zhou Hou proposed to four people to accept apprentices, and asked them to kowtow as a gift, and also asked them to offer a toast to him.
Xia Jinting naturally refused, and Ah Cheng was quite loyal, seeing Xia Jinting's refusal, he followed suit.
Zhou Hou sneered and said: "You two have thought it over clearly, if you don't ask a teacher now, you will have good fruit to eat in the future!"
Xia Jinting's attitude was firm. He didn't reject the traditional ceremony of apprenticeship, but someone like Zhou Hou was not qualified to be his master.
A few days after this incident, everything seemed to be calm, but in a quiet afternoon, turbulence suddenly arose.
Gao Zhilang's suit has entered the proofing stage. Xia Jinting proofed according to the data recorded during the day's body measurement. He made half of the pattern, but found something was wrong.
Xia Jinting didn't pay attention to the discrepancy between the data recorded on the paper and the data measured that day, because the difference between each data itself is not very big, but it is only slightly different from the correct data.
Xia Jinting made a decisive decision, stopped making the paper patterns at hand, and called Ah Cheng over.
"You copied this data?" Xia Jinting's face was very ugly.
"It's me..." Ah Cheng looked at Xia Jinting cautiously, "What's wrong?"
"The data is wrong, think about it again, are you sure you copied it right?"
"Absolutely not!" Acheng is still very sure of this point. He knows that he is not smart, so he is very careful about copying data.He checked Gao Zhilang's suit data many times when transcribing it, and it was absolutely impossible for him to copy it wrong.
The only possibility is that the data was wrong at the time of registration.
Xia Jinting asked in a deep voice, "Who registered the original data?"
Ah Cheng's face turned pale: "It's Master Zhou! I remember, when the steward ordered him to help you, his face was scary."
In an instant, Xia Jinting connected all the things together.
Zhou Hou did not register according to the data in Xia Jinting newspaper. He was very smart and did not change the data substantially, but added or subtracted every bit of data. An ordinary garment maker would not be able to find any abnormalities when proofing.
But in fact, once the data of the body measurement loses its accuracy, it will be lost by a tiny bit, and the difference will be a thousand miles, and the upper body of the paper pattern will eventually be nondescript.That day Xia Jinting made a guarantee in front of Gao Zhilang, if the proofing effect is not good, Gao Zhilang and Huang Yun will definitely not be satisfied.Xia Jinting, as a newcomer in charge of body measurement, will be charged with the "crime" of incompetent body measurement.
But Zhou Hou missed one point. Xia Jinting is extremely sensitive to numbers. Even without a tape measure, he can estimate the measurements with the naked eye, and he can remember the measurements of the guests who have been personally measured by him. Incredibly accurate.Zhou Hou's insidious tricks can't fool him at all.
Ah Cheng didn't know that Xia Jinting had such an ability, and now he was sweating anxiously: "The data is gone, what should I do, this time I'm dead."
Xia Jinting took a look at Ah Cheng, and couldn't bear it.
He was the one who dragged Ah Cheng down, and Ah Cheng also became the target of Zhou Hou's revenge because of his closeness to him. This time the data was copied by Ah Cheng's hand.
"Have you ever kept the paper that recorded the original data?" Although Xia Jinting would not be overwhelmed by such a trick, he still couldn't swallow it. If he could find the original paper written by Zhou Hou, he would have evidence to fight back.
"Master Zhou asked me to leave." Ah Cheng was stupefied.
This is to "destroy the body and trace" of the evidence in advance, Xia Jinting clenched his fists.
Three days later, Gao Zhilang, accompanied by Huang Yun, came to take samples.
The moment Xia Jinting put the sample clothes on Gao Zhilang, Huang Yun said pleasantly, "That's great!"
The bust of the sample clothes is cleverly designed to perfectly cover Gao Zhilang's hunchback.
The person in the mirror had an unprecedented spirit, but Zhou Hou's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
How is it possible, he obviously designed and changed the data of the body, how can Xia Jinting still make a pattern that fits? !
Zhou Hou glared at Xia Jinting angrily, Xia Jinting turned his head as if aware of it, and smiled at Zhou Hou.
This smile made Zhou Hou's heart tremble, and he was about to take a closer look, but Xia Jinting turned his head away, as if the exchange of eyes just now was just an illusion.
Xia Jinting won the first battle, and the steward appreciated his excellent body-measuring skills, and was assigned to do body-measuring work for the guests.
This is a position that makes all the students envious. In addition to hands-on skills, measuring body, you also need to see six ways, listen to all directions, speak sharply, and be able to speak. It is a position with very comprehensive qualities.
Correspondingly, the benefits of this position are also generous. You can meet many high-ranking officials and dignitaries. In particular, most of the guests in Yimingfang are celebrities. Being able to show your face in front of important people is a good thing.
Xia Jinting didn't have any special thoughts about this, he never thought about relying on wooing someone to get to the top, at best it sounds like self-reliance, at worst it's called reality.He doesn't think that showing his face in front of dignitaries a few times can make them look at him differently. The only way to change his class is to make achievements. If he becomes the target of a villain like Zhou Hou because of this, the loss outweighs the gain.
But right now, Xia Jinting has no choice but to do the work at hand steadily.On this day, another customer came to the store.
Xia Jinting raised his eyes and felt that the other party was kind.
"Xia Jinting, why... are you in Yimingfang?" Xu Huangtian's voice was a little weak.
As one of Jiang Kuan's drinking and meat friends, the current situation of Jiang's family made him extremely sad.
The decline of the Jiang family was almost overnight. The business declined. Gu Que, Duan Zhengnan and others were desperate to save them.Xia Jinting's father was one of the first employees to be laid off.
Goodbye Xia Jinting, Xu Huangtian's mood is very complicated, Xia Jinting's tenacity is unbelievable, every time he sees that he is in a desperate situation, but he can always stand up again in various ways.
Xia Jinting didn't have any impression of Xu Huangtian, and asked with a normal face, "Sir, who are you?"
Xu Huangtian was stuck in his heart, he unilaterally treats people as rivals in love, who would have thought that people didn't trust him at all.
"I didn't expect Xia Jinting, you actually joined Yimingfang, and you like to serve people so much?" When Xu Huangtian faced Xia Jinting, he could never control his jealousy. He didn't understand why Guo Wenya always trusted her so much. Xia Jinting, when Xia Jinting's reputation was at its worst, Guo Wenya firmly believed that he was innocent, and no matter how hard Xu Huangtian tried, he just couldn't get Miss Guo's eyes.
When Xia Jinting heard the emotional words, he immediately realized that the person in front of him was here to find fault.
As a clerk now, he must always keep in mind the service tenet of "customer is God", even if the customer makes trouble for no reason, it is inconvenient for him to get angry.Xia Jinting pretended not to hear Xu Huangtian's obviously malicious words, and tried his best to control his emotions, and said calmly, "Sir, are you making clothes?"
"Of course, otherwise, what am I doing in Yimingfang?" Xu Huangtian sat down on the sofa like a master.
Xia Jinting fetched the sample booklet: "All the styles are here, you can take a look."
"Don't read it, I'm not satisfied!" Xu Huangtian put aside the sample booklet and looked at Xia Jinting provocatively.
"If you have special requirements, you can communicate with the garment maker..." Xia Jinting remained calm.
Xu Huang's weather was boring: "Xia Jinting, what have you done to Jiang Kuan, you still have the heart to make clothes for people here?"
Xia Jinting made a gesture of invitation to Xu Huangtian: "Time is precious, if you don't need to make clothes, please don't hinder our work."
Xu Huangtian has never realized so clearly for a moment like now that Xia Jinting is really moving forward. The Xia family, the Jiang family, and all the things that entangled him like mud in the past have nothing to do with him.
Even Xu Huangtian became a speck of ashes in Xia Jinting's memory. In the end, Xia Jinting won this contest.
Xu Huangtian reluctantly left Yimingfang, remembering that Song Kailin had mentioned to him in a roundabout way a few days ago that Xia Jinting had boarded the big ship Gu Que.
At that time, Xu Huang believed it to be true, but now it seems to be false news. If Xia Jinting really hooked up with Gu Que, why did he just work as a small clerk in Yimingfang? Gu Que, as the official owner of Yimingfang, can definitely arrange for him More lucrative jobs.
Thinking like this, Xu Huangtian contacted Song Kailin: "Today in Yimingfang, I met Xia Jinting, who works as a shop assistant."
"What?!" Song Kailin was shocked, "He works as a clerk in Yimingfang?!" For a moment, Song Kailin didn't know whether to be happy or worried.
The joy is that there are various indications that Xia Jinting did not manage to climb into Gu Que's bed.
This was beyond Xia Jinting's expectations. The book mentions that Gu Que loves Baroque-style Western architecture the most, and pursues the architectural style with complicated patterns and grandeur. Simple beauty.
Confusion flashed across Xia Jinting's mind, and soon, he couldn't care less about thinking about it.
There was a long queue in front of Yimingfang, and there were more people who came to sign up than Xia Jinting expected.
Xia Jinting stood still at the end of the team, and suddenly heard a voice of great surprise: "It's you!"
Xia Jinting turned around following the sound, and saw a young man in a linen shirt looking at him with surprise.
A little familiar, Xia Jinting looked at the man up and down, and suddenly remembered: "Ah Cheng!"
The young man in front of him was Acheng who was selling fruit in Qiren Lane that day.
In the past he was always wearing a bunt, his skin was tanned, but today he was wearing a linen gown, Xia Jinting didn't recognize him for a while.
"Are you here to sign up too?" Xia Jinting was slightly surprised. He hadn't seen him for a while, and Ah Cheng seemed to be a different person, looking very energetic.
"I want to learn a craft, but I can't sell fruit on the side of the road for a lifetime!"
It turned out that after Peng Xiuhua and Liang Siwei broke up, Mr. Acheng greeted Peng Xiuhua with greetings, and now the two are not yet full lovers.There is hope in Ah Cheng's life, and a positive idea emerges.After all, selling fruit is not a long-term solution, nor can it give Peng Xiuhua a stable life. It just so happened that Yimingfang opened a training class, and Ah Cheng also came to sign up.
Xia Jinting sighed: "It turns out that so many things have happened since I left." Looking back now, the bits and pieces of Qiren Lane are like a distant dream, but no matter where Xia Jinting is, there is a corner in the depths of memory , the smell of food in the alleys and the laughter of simple men and women are always hidden.
"Come on together!" Xia Jinting smiled and encouraged Ah Cheng.
Although the queue for registration was long, the efficiency was very high.Xia Jinting carefully observed the surroundings, hoping to observe the passing standards.
But soon, he gave up.
There is really no standard. At first, Xia Jinting thought it was because of his appearance, but he watched a hunched man get the number plate. Then Xia Jinting thought it was about age, but he saw an elderly man who successfully got the number plate. .If it wasn't for the fact that it was not stated in the advertisement that no training fees would be charged, Xia Jinting would have suspected that Yimingfang was using this gimmick to defraud people of their money.
When it was Xia Jinting's turn, the staff's eyes lit up, and he said: "No. 12, pass, let's go in."
The whole process took only three to five seconds. Xia Jinting had never seen such a posture before. When he entered the store, he realized that the people who passed the registration were divided into groups according to their numbers.
A group of four people studied with a tutor. After three months, Yimingfang set up a test to compare the students' learning results. Those who passed the test stayed and those who failed left.
Xia Jinting and A Cheng were in a group, and there were two other members in the same group. The four greeted each other and waited patiently for the teacher to come.
After a while, teachers came over one after another. Many of them were old and had thick calluses on their fingertips. Xia Jinting knew that it was caused by the thimble rubbing against the fingertips for a long time.
After waiting for a while, the instructors of the other groups were all in place, but they were the only group that hadn't seen the instructors for a long time.
Ah Cheng was impatient, and got a little impatient: "I've been waiting for a long time, why haven't you come yet?"
Xia Jinting vaguely felt that this was a warning given to them by the teacher, and this idea was verified when Xia Jinting met the real person.
The teacher in their group was a fat man who staggered when he walked, and sweated from his forehead when he moved a little.
When seeing a newcomer, the instructor doesn't even say hello, just sits on the chair and yells loudly: "I'm exhausted!"
Seeing that the newcomers were standing still, he yelled again: "What are you doing here, one or two are like mallets, and you don't even know how to pour a glass of water for the master."
Xia Jinting frowned, regardless of other things for the time being, with the current posture, this teacher must be a master.
The people in Yimingfang have such qualities, they are really upright and crooked!
Xia Jinting was slandering, when suddenly he heard the teacher who led the teacher say: "You, come here, give your master Zhou a kick!"
Xia Jinting raised his eyes and saw that bloated knuckles were pointing at him.He pursed his lips and did not move.
Ah Cheng saw it from the side, and hurriedly came forward to rescue him and said, "Master Zhou, I will beat you!"
Fortunately, Master Zhou didn't entangle him too much, he just snorted and said, "It's not stupid to be good-looking. It's long..."
The people in the same group understood it, and they all came forward to flatter Master Zhou, but Xia Jinting stood on the periphery, hesitating: Is it really the right choice to come to Yimingfang?No matter what, since he came in, he had to endure it, Xia Jinting asked himself that he is not a person who is afraid of hardship and tiredness, he can't do things like flattery, but he can always do his job well, listen more and learn more.
The setting of the training course is divided into two parts: theory and practice. The theory mainly introduces the business scope, business philosophy, service purpose, etc. of Yimingfang. The practice is taught by the instructors of each group. , Sewing four modules, the assessment questions after March will focus on assessing these contents.
Today, I will take a theoretical class first. The business philosophy of Yimingfang is "integrity first, quality first" and requires employees to work hard and never lose shape.Xia Jinting listened under the stage, and sneered inwardly, anyone can say high-sounding words, the key depends on how well they do it.Yimingfang is a typical example of talking too much and doing little. The old people use their accents to put on airs to bully the newcomers, and they dare to say "get along in harmony and make progress together."
After listening to the whole day, Xia Jinting rubbed his temples tiredly, packed his things and prepared to leave.
Yimingfang provided accommodation for its employees, but Xia Jinting was used to living in soft beds, and it was difficult for him to live in a garden villa.
When Xia Jinting got home, as soon as Xia Jinting opened the door, he was aroused by the smell of food, and Mr. Gu started cooking again.
Mr. Gu's working hours are very flexible. Except for occasional business trips, he can work at home most of the time.
Cooking has almost become one of his amateur hobbies. Whenever he has free time, he cooks various dishes. The key point is that he is extremely talented. The dishes he cooks are very suitable for Xia Jinting's taste.
Today Gu Que made a dish of braised duck with rice wine, the aroma of the wine was overflowing, Xia Jinting's originally dull mood suddenly recovered.
He walked into the kitchen and leaned against the wall to watch Gu Que busy.
Gu Que was very organized in his work, typically busy but not chaotic. When he noticed the movement behind him, he tilted his head slightly and said with a smile, "I'm back, I'll be fine soon."
Xia Jinting's heart skipped a beat because of this sentence.
These words were too natural, as natural as if they were a couple who had been together for many years.
Xia Jinting patted his face vigorously: What are you thinking, your career has not improved at all, and you are still daydreaming here, it's time to fight!
Just as he was thinking, the fragrant rice wine braised duck came out of the pot, Gu Que took out a champagne from the cabinet, and opened the bottle neatly.
Xia Jinting smiled and said, "What are you doing drinking?"
"Celebrate." Gu Que poured champagne into the glass.
"How do you know I will pass?"
"I believe in you." Under the light, Gu Que looked up at Xia Jinting.
The man's eyes were like amber, shining brightly.
Xia Jinting didn't dare to look too much, and raised his glass to calm his restless heart.
"How is today?" Gu Que lowered his gaze, caring as usual.
"It's okay, don't worry, I can handle it." Xia Jinting chewed the soft and rotten duck meat, complaining about the owner of Yimingfang thousands of times in his heart.
However, Mr. Gu mentioned that name in the next second: "Meet Gu Que?"
"How can it be?" Xia Jinting shook his head, "Mr. Gu is a busy man, how can ordinary people see him? Why, Mr. Gu wants to see him?"
Gu Que shook his head, hiding the wry smile on his lips, "You make him so unbearable, it makes me curious."
"Speaking of which, you both have the surname Gu, but you are two completely different people." Xia Jinting looked at Gu Que with a smile, "I think you are stronger than Gu Que."
"Ahem!" Gu Que coughed when he heard this sentence, and quickly covered his lips with a napkin: "What do you say?"
"You are a real gentleman, much better than a hypocrite like Gu Que!"
As soon as Xia Jinting finished speaking, Gu Que coughed more violently.
"You are so sure that he is a hypocrite, maybe you have misunderstood him?" Gu Que tried to restore his image.
"Impossible!" Xia Jinting was very sure. He had read the original book and opened his eyes. Gu Que could fool others, but he couldn't!
"People in Yimingfang say that Gu Que is a hypocrite?" Gu Que asked tentatively.
Xia Jinting shook his head, he got angry when he mentioned this, he thought that the employees all hated Gu Que, but at the end of the day, Xia Jinting found that this was not the case at all, the employees of Yimingfang were all talking good things about Gu Que. Let Xia Jinting have a tragic feeling that the whole world is turbid and I am alone!
"They were all blinded by petty gains!" Xia Jinting complained, "No, they have been oppressed for a long time and are used to it! But I believe that wherever there is oppression, there will be resistance!"
"Where there is oppression, there is resistance?" Gu Que smiled meaningfully as he looked at Xia Jinting's face flushed from alcohol.
What Xia Jinting didn't expect was that "Where there is oppression, there is resistance" came true.
From the next day when he went to work, Master Zhou, who taught him, always targeted him intentionally or unintentionally, and always handed him tedious and insignificant work.
For example, in the practical class, Master Zhou sent Xia Jinting to do some work that had nothing to do with the course content.
It was obviously neatly arranged silk thread, but Master Zhou insisted on him to go and count it, and also stipulated that it should be finished before the end of the class, which directly caused Xia Jinting to fail to complete the class.
It was like this for several days, even Ah Cheng saw something was wrong, and comforted Xia Jinting with a worried face: "I have attended the class, but I didn't study well. Master Zhou only let us watch from the sidelines, never let us Get started, if you want to learn, I can try to tell you."
As soon as Xia Jinting heard this, he understood that Master Zhou had no intention of teaching the newcomers at all, the original intention of the practical operation was to do it by hand, and not letting the newcomers try it, no matter how many times they watched it, it would not help.
Xia Jinting thought about it, and finally came up with a solution.He led Acheng to the abandoned warehouse of Yimingfang, which is a place for storing waste materials and clothing tools, and usually no one would come here.
Xia Jinting lit a candle, found a wooden mannequin from the trash, and said to Ah Cheng, "Let's get started."
Although Ah Cheng has never practiced it, he is good at listening to the lectures and has a strong memory. He can remember the essentials of movements that Master Zhou casually said.
Xia Jinting has the foundation of his previous life, he can fully understand the "jargon", and he can grasp the essentials in just a few words.
Holding a tape measure, he made gestures on the old wooden mannequin, and explained to Ah Cheng while making contact.
Seeing that Xia Jinting's movements were more agile and proficient than Master Zhou, Ah Cheng was stunned: "Xia, Mr. Xia...you are too good."
The reason Ah Cheng was so surprised was because he had tried it himself.
Measuring the body is not difficult at first glance, but you will know how difficult it is when you really get started.Especially when looking at the scale on the tape measure, Ah Cheng stared at it for a long time and couldn't make it right, but Xia Jinting could blurt out the scale, and it was extremely accurate every time.
Through this kind of practice, Ah Cheng finally figured out what measuring body is all about, and he also knew that talking on paper would not work, so Master Zhou would always ask Xia Jinting for advice on anything he taught.
Xia Jinting failed to attend class, but was handpicked by Master Zhou during the job test. If he changed to someone with no foundation, something would definitely go wrong.
But Xia Jinting did it very properly. For example, when measuring his body, Master Zhou asked him to help him with the ruler, so he buried his head in the ruler, not breaking the rules, and asked him to report the number, and he could report it quickly and accurately. Master Zhou wanted to find He scolded him all over the place, and went back and forth again and again, but he didn't find a chance.
One day, a man came to the store, and he started to shout as soon as he entered the store: "Where are you guys? I'm going to make clothes!"
Xia Jinting glanced at the man, and saw that he was not very old, but his back was particularly hunchbacked, and ordinary clothes were not suitable for him.
It just so happened that it was Master Zhou's turn to be on duty, so it was natural that Master Zhou should help the man measure his body.But at this point in the afternoon, Master Zhou was used to taking a nap, Xia Jinting couldn't do it, so he had to comfort the guests while sending someone to invite Master Zhou.
The helpless hunchbacked man was very angry, and he kept complaining: "What kind of suit shop are you? You are the number one in Haicheng. I don't think so." ""You are so passive and sabotage, does the boss know?"
His voice was so high and bright that the shop assistants couldn't do anything about him, and they didn't dare to touch him. Only Xia Jinting held a bowl of chrysanthemum tea and handed it to the man: "Sir, drink some water first."
Xia Jinting's attitude was respectful, and the tea was brewed to a suitable temperature. Even if the customers were angry, it was not easy to have a fit, so the shop was quiet for a while.
After a cup of tea, Master Zhou finally woke up. He had a big belly, his belt was only half tied, and he looked unhappy at being disturbed.
"Hurry up, one or two are dead, don't you know how to work without me?" Master Zhou picked up the measuring tape cursingly, and shouted, "Where are people?"
He took a look, good guy, he's a hunchback.
Experienced garment makers know that the difficulty of making garments will increase if the body shape of the customers is not standard.In the case of the current guest, it is called a big hunchback in the industry, and the standard style chart is not applicable to him. The proportions and lines of the clothes have to be readjusted, which takes a lot of effort.Master Zhou had always been impatient, so he lost his temper and spat: "What a bad luck!"
The volume of these words was not low, the hunchbacked guest heard clearly, immediately dropped the glass, and said angrily: "What did you say?!"
"Did I tell you? What are you so excited about!" Master Zhou also had a bad temper, and when the two bad tempers collided, sparks flew everywhere in an instant.
"What kind of service attitude do you have! You are in charge, I want to complain! The store is amazing, can the store bully customers at will?" the hunchbacked man shouted again.
Master Zhou has calmed down now. Although he is still stern, he also knows that he has violated the rules of hospitality in Yimingfang.
He intended to calm down the matter, and warned others not to spread the matter with a stern face, while softening his tone and apologizing to the guests.
But this guest is a stickler, he doesn't accept an apology at all, and he keeps asking for a manager.
The steward is caught between the two parties, in a dilemma.
The guest asked to change the master, but Master Zhou was the only one on duty. Calling other masters would definitely delay the guest's time.
The steward talks about everything, but the guests just don't let go.
At the end, the guest raised his hand and pointed: "Come and measure it for me!"
Xia Jinting became the lucky one to be selected again. The manager knew that Xia Jinting had little seniority, so he apologized to the guest and said, "Xiao Xia is a newcomer, or Master Zhou..."
"I want him to measure!" The guest insisted on Xia Jinting.
Unable to manage things, he had no choice but to wink at Xia Jinting desperately, asking him to resign on his own.
But Xia Jinting opened his mouth, but what he said was completely different from what the manager meant: "Sir, please raise your hand."
Body measurement is the basis of clothing making. Only accurate measurement data can make suitable suits.
Xia Jinting measures the body, following the principle of "one look, two questions". The so-called "one look" refers to the body shape and face shape.
The guest's figure is obviously hunchbacked, so the data of the guest's waist is particularly important.
After mastering the first-hand data, Xia Jinting started the "second question". The content of the second question included the preferences and requirements of the customers. For example, some customers like to wear loose clothes, so a certain margin should be added to the specific bust data.
Xia Jinting was carrying the ruler while chatting with the customer: "Sir, do you like loose or tight ones?"
The guest thought for a while and replied: "It's winter, I'm used to adding clothes to my suit."
Having said this, Xia Jinting understood, and consciously made his waistline looser.
The steward was pleasantly surprised to find that Xia Jinting's movements were very neat and skillful when measuring the body of the guests, and his tone was gentle and calm, which was much better than the bossy master Zhou.
He looked at Xia Jinting approvingly, but directed Master Zhou to help Xia Jinting.
Master Zhou has always thought highly of himself. Wherever he has suffered such a loss, he is reluctant to even record a statistic.
Time passed by every minute, and the body measurement was coming to an end, and the guests' emotions calmed down a lot under Xia Jinting's comfort.
Just at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.
Xia Jinting didn't look back, but it was a woman wearing high heels.
"Aren't you alright? Why is it taking so long!" Sure enough, a woman's charming voice came, and Xia Jinting was reading the ruler when he noticed that the guest's body trembled suddenly, pulling the tape measure.
There is something wrong with this set of numbers and it can no longer be used.
Xia Jinting re-measured him in a good-tempered manner, but since the woman entered the shop, the hunchback customer became restless visibly, and his body was always moving around.
"Sir, you'll be fine soon. If you're tired, would you like to rest for a while?" Xia Jinting asked politely.
Before the guest could answer, the girl in high heels said, "Don't worry, I'm in a hurry, measure quickly!"
Hearing this, the hunchback guest became emotional immediately: "Huang Yun, I don't need you to wait, you hurry up!"
"Hey, Gao Zhilang, what are you looking like? With your body shape, which clothes look good on you!" Huang Yun retorted.
Gao Zhilang's face was flushed with anger, his chest heaved violently, Xia Jinting glanced at him and smiled.
"What are you laughing at?!" Gao Zhilang hated being ridiculed for hunchback, and his nerves were fragile and sensitive.
"I laugh that Ms. Huang is wrong." Xia Jinting's tone was gentle, and he kept measuring with his hands, "In the clothing industry, Mr. Gao's body shape is also called calf waist. As long as you make the right style, the upper body of the suit very nice."
"Cow's waist?" Huang Yun was taken aback, "You mean, you can make a suit that suits him?"
"Of course, the purpose of body measurement is to design clothes according to each person's different body shapes. It is our duty to design suits that satisfy customers." Xia Jinting's professional movements and firm eyes made Huang Yun feel embarrassed.
She looked into the mirror curiously, and it was amazing to say that, hearing the term "calf waist", Huang Yun felt that Gao Zhilang's hunchback was much more pleasing to the eye.
She is the only daughter in the family, and she was ordered by her parents to discuss marriage with Gao Zhilang. In fact, Gao Zhilang is a progressive person and treats her well, but Huang Yun has always been disgusted by her conspicuous hunchback.
This custom-made wedding dress, the two disagreed. Gao Zhilang was used to wearing long gowns and mandarin jackets, and felt that the long gowns were wide and could cover the hunchback, so the wedding gowns also wanted to be made in Chinese style, while Huang Yunshang’s new school wanted to wear plain white ones. The wedding dress, the two had a big fight over it.
Huang Yun was furious, and in a hurry, he opened his mouth to mock Gao Zhilang's figure.This is exactly what Gao Zhilang cares about the most. The two had a quarrel, and finally, under the mediation of the parents of both parties, the two took a step back and wore suits for wedding photos, and Chinese dresses for the wedding.
Although the matter was settled, a grudge was planted in the hearts of both parties. The more Huang Yun looked at it, the more he felt that Gao Zhilang's hunchback was ugly, and he was even reluctant to accompany him to Yimingfang to make clothes. Gao Zhilang entered the shop full of anger. Only then have all kinds of talents.
After Xia Jinting explained this time, Huang Yun also realized that she had gone too far, she made up for it, looked at the person in the mirror and said with a smile: "Looking at it this way, it's really good."
Gao Zhilang showed surprise, he was used to Huang Yun's sarcasm and sarcasm, suddenly such a boast, it seemed like the sun came out from the west.
"Clothing can be used to improve the body shape. The masters of Yimingfang have made clothes for many calf waist customers. The effect is very good. You can rest assured." After Xia Jinting finished speaking, he simply put away the measuring tape, Chong Gao Zhi Lang nodded and said: "Mr. Gao, it's ok."
With Xia Jinting's words, the young couple's mood cleared after a storm, and their tone became much gentler. The steward took out the score sheet as usual and asked the two to give a score. Gao Zhilang gave a perfect score with a swipe of his pen.
The steward was very happy, and felt that this month's reward was expected, but he sent the guest out of the house calmly.
When turning back, he looked at Xia Jinting like looking at a golden doll, and his attitude towards Xia Jinting was also very gentle: "You are tired, go and rest quickly."
After finishing speaking, he turned to look at Master Zhou: "Zhou Hou, come here!"
Xia Jinting was really tired. He insisted on exercising these days, and his physical condition has improved. However, work like body measurement consumes both physical and mental energy, and he feels exhausted after doing it.
Taking advantage of the lack of people, he leaned on a corner of the sofa to rest.
Ah Cheng looked at Xia Jinting adoringly: "You are too powerful, you were able to persuade that couple who were arguing so fiercely just now."
Xia Jinting smiled wearily. For him, these are the basic jobs in the industry.
Guests have self-respect, especially those with natural defects like Gao Zhilang, they will pay more attention to the defects themselves.
In order to take care of the sensitive emotions of customers, there is a common jargon in the clothing industry, such as a hunchback called a calf waist, and a slippery shoulder called a beauty shoulder. The purpose of saying this is to take care of the customer's face.
As for persuasion, Xia Jinting only used hints, which is a compulsory course for practitioners in the service industry, to give customers positive psychological hints, so that they can get rid of negative emotions and accept the product.It's just that this set of methodologies cannot be explained to Ah Cheng.
Ah Cheng now regards Xia Jinting as an idol, and always pesters him when he is resting. For example, right now, he is pestering Xia Jinting to gossip about Master Zhou: "I heard that Master Zhou's customer satisfaction rating has been continuous for several months. Failed, the steward’s bonus is linked to customer satisfaction, and I’m getting angry right now.”
Xia Jinting was very interested in mentioning this. The customer satisfaction score is also an original system created by Yimingfang.
"Since he failed the exams one after another, how can he stay?" Xia Jinting closed his eyes and meditated.
"I heard that he is Master Liu's nephew. The steward looked at Master Liu's face and turned a blind eye to Zhou Hou's crimes."
Xia Jinting understood that there was nepotism, no wonder Zhou Hou acted so arrogantly.
All assessments are all deceitful superficial efforts, and Xia Jinting's impression of Yimingfang once again fell to the bottom.
Ah Cheng was so excited that he didn't notice that Zhou Hou was standing behind them, staring at them fiercely.
Xia Jinting made a wrong eye and met the gloomy eyes, goosebumps formed on his arms.He said in a deep voice, "Ah Cheng!"
"Ah?" Ah Cheng turned around belatedly, startled by Zhou Hou, and immediately shut up.
Xia Jinting's heart sank slightly, he knew that with Zhou Hou's temperament, he would not let it go, and he had to be more cautious in the days to come.
Xia Jinting wanted to be on guard, but he didn't expect Zhou Hou's revenge to come so quickly.
In a group of four, each group is equipped with a mentor. This is a system established by Yimingfang. However, apart from this relationship, strictly speaking, Xia Jinting and the others are not apprentices who are mentors. This is also different from the current industry. The master-apprentice system is different.
The traditional master-apprentice system has a grand apprenticeship ceremony. The apprentice is not only a student, but also a half-servant of the master. He has to work hard and take care of the master's daily life.
One day, Zhou Hou proposed to four people to accept apprentices, and asked them to kowtow as a gift, and also asked them to offer a toast to him.
Xia Jinting naturally refused, and Ah Cheng was quite loyal, seeing Xia Jinting's refusal, he followed suit.
Zhou Hou sneered and said: "You two have thought it over clearly, if you don't ask a teacher now, you will have good fruit to eat in the future!"
Xia Jinting's attitude was firm. He didn't reject the traditional ceremony of apprenticeship, but someone like Zhou Hou was not qualified to be his master.
A few days after this incident, everything seemed to be calm, but in a quiet afternoon, turbulence suddenly arose.
Gao Zhilang's suit has entered the proofing stage. Xia Jinting proofed according to the data recorded during the day's body measurement. He made half of the pattern, but found something was wrong.
Xia Jinting didn't pay attention to the discrepancy between the data recorded on the paper and the data measured that day, because the difference between each data itself is not very big, but it is only slightly different from the correct data.
Xia Jinting made a decisive decision, stopped making the paper patterns at hand, and called Ah Cheng over.
"You copied this data?" Xia Jinting's face was very ugly.
"It's me..." Ah Cheng looked at Xia Jinting cautiously, "What's wrong?"
"The data is wrong, think about it again, are you sure you copied it right?"
"Absolutely not!" Acheng is still very sure of this point. He knows that he is not smart, so he is very careful about copying data.He checked Gao Zhilang's suit data many times when transcribing it, and it was absolutely impossible for him to copy it wrong.
The only possibility is that the data was wrong at the time of registration.
Xia Jinting asked in a deep voice, "Who registered the original data?"
Ah Cheng's face turned pale: "It's Master Zhou! I remember, when the steward ordered him to help you, his face was scary."
In an instant, Xia Jinting connected all the things together.
Zhou Hou did not register according to the data in Xia Jinting newspaper. He was very smart and did not change the data substantially, but added or subtracted every bit of data. An ordinary garment maker would not be able to find any abnormalities when proofing.
But in fact, once the data of the body measurement loses its accuracy, it will be lost by a tiny bit, and the difference will be a thousand miles, and the upper body of the paper pattern will eventually be nondescript.That day Xia Jinting made a guarantee in front of Gao Zhilang, if the proofing effect is not good, Gao Zhilang and Huang Yun will definitely not be satisfied.Xia Jinting, as a newcomer in charge of body measurement, will be charged with the "crime" of incompetent body measurement.
But Zhou Hou missed one point. Xia Jinting is extremely sensitive to numbers. Even without a tape measure, he can estimate the measurements with the naked eye, and he can remember the measurements of the guests who have been personally measured by him. Incredibly accurate.Zhou Hou's insidious tricks can't fool him at all.
Ah Cheng didn't know that Xia Jinting had such an ability, and now he was sweating anxiously: "The data is gone, what should I do, this time I'm dead."
Xia Jinting took a look at Ah Cheng, and couldn't bear it.
He was the one who dragged Ah Cheng down, and Ah Cheng also became the target of Zhou Hou's revenge because of his closeness to him. This time the data was copied by Ah Cheng's hand.
"Have you ever kept the paper that recorded the original data?" Although Xia Jinting would not be overwhelmed by such a trick, he still couldn't swallow it. If he could find the original paper written by Zhou Hou, he would have evidence to fight back.
"Master Zhou asked me to leave." Ah Cheng was stupefied.
This is to "destroy the body and trace" of the evidence in advance, Xia Jinting clenched his fists.
Three days later, Gao Zhilang, accompanied by Huang Yun, came to take samples.
The moment Xia Jinting put the sample clothes on Gao Zhilang, Huang Yun said pleasantly, "That's great!"
The bust of the sample clothes is cleverly designed to perfectly cover Gao Zhilang's hunchback.
The person in the mirror had an unprecedented spirit, but Zhou Hou's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
How is it possible, he obviously designed and changed the data of the body, how can Xia Jinting still make a pattern that fits? !
Zhou Hou glared at Xia Jinting angrily, Xia Jinting turned his head as if aware of it, and smiled at Zhou Hou.
This smile made Zhou Hou's heart tremble, and he was about to take a closer look, but Xia Jinting turned his head away, as if the exchange of eyes just now was just an illusion.
Xia Jinting won the first battle, and the steward appreciated his excellent body-measuring skills, and was assigned to do body-measuring work for the guests.
This is a position that makes all the students envious. In addition to hands-on skills, measuring body, you also need to see six ways, listen to all directions, speak sharply, and be able to speak. It is a position with very comprehensive qualities.
Correspondingly, the benefits of this position are also generous. You can meet many high-ranking officials and dignitaries. In particular, most of the guests in Yimingfang are celebrities. Being able to show your face in front of important people is a good thing.
Xia Jinting didn't have any special thoughts about this, he never thought about relying on wooing someone to get to the top, at best it sounds like self-reliance, at worst it's called reality.He doesn't think that showing his face in front of dignitaries a few times can make them look at him differently. The only way to change his class is to make achievements. If he becomes the target of a villain like Zhou Hou because of this, the loss outweighs the gain.
But right now, Xia Jinting has no choice but to do the work at hand steadily.On this day, another customer came to the store.
Xia Jinting raised his eyes and felt that the other party was kind.
"Xia Jinting, why... are you in Yimingfang?" Xu Huangtian's voice was a little weak.
As one of Jiang Kuan's drinking and meat friends, the current situation of Jiang's family made him extremely sad.
The decline of the Jiang family was almost overnight. The business declined. Gu Que, Duan Zhengnan and others were desperate to save them.Xia Jinting's father was one of the first employees to be laid off.
Goodbye Xia Jinting, Xu Huangtian's mood is very complicated, Xia Jinting's tenacity is unbelievable, every time he sees that he is in a desperate situation, but he can always stand up again in various ways.
Xia Jinting didn't have any impression of Xu Huangtian, and asked with a normal face, "Sir, who are you?"
Xu Huangtian was stuck in his heart, he unilaterally treats people as rivals in love, who would have thought that people didn't trust him at all.
"I didn't expect Xia Jinting, you actually joined Yimingfang, and you like to serve people so much?" When Xu Huangtian faced Xia Jinting, he could never control his jealousy. He didn't understand why Guo Wenya always trusted her so much. Xia Jinting, when Xia Jinting's reputation was at its worst, Guo Wenya firmly believed that he was innocent, and no matter how hard Xu Huangtian tried, he just couldn't get Miss Guo's eyes.
When Xia Jinting heard the emotional words, he immediately realized that the person in front of him was here to find fault.
As a clerk now, he must always keep in mind the service tenet of "customer is God", even if the customer makes trouble for no reason, it is inconvenient for him to get angry.Xia Jinting pretended not to hear Xu Huangtian's obviously malicious words, and tried his best to control his emotions, and said calmly, "Sir, are you making clothes?"
"Of course, otherwise, what am I doing in Yimingfang?" Xu Huangtian sat down on the sofa like a master.
Xia Jinting fetched the sample booklet: "All the styles are here, you can take a look."
"Don't read it, I'm not satisfied!" Xu Huangtian put aside the sample booklet and looked at Xia Jinting provocatively.
"If you have special requirements, you can communicate with the garment maker..." Xia Jinting remained calm.
Xu Huang's weather was boring: "Xia Jinting, what have you done to Jiang Kuan, you still have the heart to make clothes for people here?"
Xia Jinting made a gesture of invitation to Xu Huangtian: "Time is precious, if you don't need to make clothes, please don't hinder our work."
Xu Huangtian has never realized so clearly for a moment like now that Xia Jinting is really moving forward. The Xia family, the Jiang family, and all the things that entangled him like mud in the past have nothing to do with him.
Even Xu Huangtian became a speck of ashes in Xia Jinting's memory. In the end, Xia Jinting won this contest.
Xu Huangtian reluctantly left Yimingfang, remembering that Song Kailin had mentioned to him in a roundabout way a few days ago that Xia Jinting had boarded the big ship Gu Que.
At that time, Xu Huang believed it to be true, but now it seems to be false news. If Xia Jinting really hooked up with Gu Que, why did he just work as a small clerk in Yimingfang? Gu Que, as the official owner of Yimingfang, can definitely arrange for him More lucrative jobs.
Thinking like this, Xu Huangtian contacted Song Kailin: "Today in Yimingfang, I met Xia Jinting, who works as a shop assistant."
"What?!" Song Kailin was shocked, "He works as a clerk in Yimingfang?!" For a moment, Song Kailin didn't know whether to be happy or worried.
The joy is that there are various indications that Xia Jinting did not manage to climb into Gu Que's bed.
