Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Su Binglan looked at everyone’s orders and calculated inwardly. She could deliver their goods within a month if she expanded her production scale. Hence, she still accepted orders.
The customers heaved a sigh of relief when she accepted their orders. After all, she had a good reputation, so everyone felt assured doing business with her.
Of course, Su Binglan would also consider one’s character when choosing a business partner. She would not cooperate with any businessperson with a lousy character and specialized in scamming others.
Therefore, the people placing orders at Su’s Embroidery had good reputations and integrity. Also, since these merchants had placed their orders, they would make back a lot of money after returning to their respective villages and selling their orders.
After all, Su’s Embroidery provided new and exciting items these merchants did not have in their place. Even if there were a few imitations, the items would not be so good-looking.
Someone had tried poaching people from the embroidery shop, but no one bit the bait, no matter how high the pay was. The workers knew that person wanted to poach them because the workers could make high-quality backpacks, handbags, and rag dolls.
Still, Su’s Embroidery continuously released new and exciting items. If the workers went to the poacher and could not learn new things, they would have no value.
The poachers were of no worth to the embroidery shop workers. After all, Su Binglan paid them monthly salaries and bonuses, not to mention a staff dormitory to live in.
The bright workers knew they had to work in Su’s Embroidery, nowhere else. Moreover, Su’s Embroidery always introduced new patterns designed by Su Binglan. No one else could think of such gorgeous designs.
In addition, Su Binglan was the one who hired the workers. That was why they had such an excellent working environment.
The workers brought home their wages and bonuses they had previously received, much more than one silver tael a month. They never expected to earn that much.
Initially, they would be delighted if they even got sixty copper coins a month. They did not expect to get paid more if they worked more. The workers also received some of the embroidery shop’s overall income and even more bonuses.
When the workers brought their hard-earned money home, their families would be thrilled. Moreover, the workers knew how capable Su Binglan was, so they worked harder for her.
Everyone was loyal to Su Binglan. Also, they had heard that she would open a winery soon. With that, she would probably need to hire more people. The workers hoped their family members could work there.
Take Song Yi, for example. Since he worked for Su Binglan, he brought his mother to Su Binglan when she was hiring more workers for Su’s Embroidery. Su Binglan hired Mrs. Song on the spot.
The workers understood she would hire their family members if they performed well at the embroidery shop.
Of course, Song Yi no longer sold stinky tofu in town since a long time had passed. Now he was a manager at the tofu factory and was only responsible for delivering goods.
That was also because many people had ordered stinky tofu from the factory and set up stalls in several places to sell. Those people even bought their dining carts from Su Binglan.
Nonetheless, Song Yi had been doing an excellent job with Su Binglan and had become a manager. People had also heard that his salary and bonus had increased.
Since quite some time had passed, people heard that Song Yi had gotten with a girl who worked at the factory.
She was a good girl from Su Teng Village named Liu Qiao, whose family was well-to-do and literate. Su Binglan had also chosen her as the factory’s first manager.
Mr. and Mrs. Song were delighted with Liu Qiao. After all, anyone from Su Teng Village who worked with Su Binglan would make anyone’s parents feel satisfied and at ease.
Everyone knew Su Binglan would look at one’s ability and character when hiring people. She would only hire those with excellent character. She would instantly fire those who created problems, too.
Therefore, most parents would use this judging method instead of asking around when marrying off their children.
After settling the orders with the merchants, Su Binglan left her office and went to look for Ding Wan. Su Binglan had included an office when designing the embroidery shop.
Ding Wan currently managed the embroidery shop and was very busy. However, she did not have to worry about everything and was only responsible for explaining things to group leaders. The leaders would then relay her explanations to their group members.
It would be much more convenient this way.
Ding Wan smiled when she saw Su Binglan. “Hello, Binglan.”
Su Binglan asked, “Aunt Ding, have you prepared the wedding gift for Zhizhi?”
Miao Zhizhi and Su Fengchen’s wedding was coming up, so they had many things to prepare. Su Binglan had said she wanted to prepare some embroideries and told Ding Wan to prepare them in advance.
“Yeah, they’re ready,” Ding Wan said, “Including the screen and fan. I embroidered those two, but the others made the boxes, bags, and other things.
“Everyone was shocked after they embroidered the things you wanted. They said the wedding items looked too good. Some even asked how much a set like this costs. They wanted to come to the shop to customize these things for their family’s wedding.”
Ding Wan had already learned double-sided embroidery. When she embroidered a big red screen on both sides, everyone in the embroidery shop was stunned. They could feel the festive atmosphere just by looking at the screen.
The screen’s design was gorgeous, and they had never seen something so beautiful. They knew Su Binglan had personally designed the items, and Ding Wan embroidered them based on her niece’s designs.
The workers knew how talented Su Binglan was. One could sell her drawings for a high price. However, they also knew she never drew or painted for money and had only built the embroidery shop to help everyone else get rich.
Nonetheless, Ding Wan brought the things over as she spoke. Su Binglan looked at the beautiful items and smiled brightly. “I’ll send these things to my grandmother’s house today.
“Your grandmother will be delighted to see these,” Ding Wan said smilingly, “That’s for Zhizhi.’
Since Miao Zhizhi had no relatives, Old Madam Su handled everything for her. Still, everyone else also prepared many things so that Miao Zhizhi could feel welcome. They all wanted her to feel the warmth of home.
“Oh right, we also made this down duvet. We made it from duck and goose feathers, as you had mentioned. It’s especially light. There’s also this set of sweaters and trousers, which we prepared for Zhizhi,” Ding Wan said.
She genuinely liked the down duvet they had made. She touched it carefully and gently as she spoke. The workers were the ones who made the down duvet.
Su Binglan looked on and smiled. “Zhizhi will be thrilled to see this.”
The Su family had already treated Miao Zhizhi as family. Therefore, everyone sincerely prepared things for her and Su Fengchen.
“Aunt Ding, we’ll start making these down duvets after Zhizhi and Uncle Fengchen’s wedding. Then our family’s house will have these things. The winter cold with these down duvets won’t be so harsh,” Su Binglan said..
