Chapter 221 Let’s Make a Bet
On the table was a pair of dolls crocheted with wool, one male and one female, wearing phoenix crowns and bridal robes. They had lovely features and three-dimensional clothes, and they looked like works of art.
Shen Anan was glad that in her previous life, when her daughter got married, she learned to crochet in order to give her a unique gift.
Even now, supplies are scarce, and this pair of little people have used up all the wool she bought from town.
Moreover, there is no bright red wool in the town. The red wool here is dyed by themselves using natural pigments from the mountains.
That day, when she saw the handkerchiefs embroidered by Xia Chunmei, she suddenly thought that she could let the women in the team make money by using their handicrafts in their spare time.
Such knitted products, as long as the raw materials are available, will not affect daily work and can improve the lives of most families.
However, the raw materials are indeed a problem. But Shen Anan heard from Deputy Director Zhao before that in addition to the furniture exhibition, there are some other product exhibitions in the neighboring province. She can try her luck this time.
Of course, she was in a hurry to finish the work this time in order to take it to the furniture exhibition and look for opportunities.
The next day, Shen Anan did not delay. She packed her things, especially a pair of knitted dolls, and returned to Yu County without stopping.
……
……
The day after Shen Anan arrived in Yu County, she came to the first furniture factory.
Deputy Director Zhao was too busy to attend to everything, so he exchanged a few words with her and then asked his secretary to take her to the factory's design department.
This furniture exhibition will be led mainly by Director Zhu from the first workshop. Of course, Zhao Lei's secretary will also go along, as well as people from the furniture factory's design department.
"Director Shen, this is the design department of our furniture factory."
"Secretary Li, you're too polite. Just call me Xiao Shen."
"I'd better call you Designer Shen. This furniture exhibition is all thanks to you!"
Secretary Li introduced the furniture exhibition to Shen Anan along the way, and his tone was quite attentive.
Yesterday, Deputy Director Zhao specifically told him to take good care of Director Shen, so of course he knew the importance of it.
The moment the office door was pushed open, everyone inside focused their attention on the door.
"Designer Shen, this is the design department of our furniture factory."
Shen An looked around and found that this so-called design department was not big and there were only two people in it.
"Minister Wu, this is the external designer of our furniture factory. The furniture for this furniture exhibition is the work of Designer Shen!"
As soon as Secretary Li finished speaking, the middle-aged man sitting at the table inside stood up with a smile.
"It's really like the new generation is pushing the old generation forward. Welcome, welcome." Minister Wu stood up and shook hands with Shen Anan with an enthusiastic look.
"No, Minister Wu, you're welcome." Shen Anan was a little embarrassed by Secretary Li's introduction and quickly waved her hand.
With all her skills, she really can't be called a designer.
A cold snort suddenly sounded from the side.
"Huh, what a joke. Anyone can be a designer?"
Shen Anan turned around and saw the disdainful expression of the young man next to her.
"Xiao Sun, what nonsense are you talking about? Designer Shen's talent has been recognized by Deputy Director Zhao. Apologize now!"
"Xiao Shen, I'm so sorry for making you feel wronged!" Minister Wu looked at Shen Anan with an apologetic look.
Shen Anan didn't say anything. Minister Wu's words sounded like he was speaking for her, but if you listened carefully, they seemed to be fanning the flames.
Sure enough, the next second, the young man's expression became even more unconvinced, and he stood up and pointed at Shen Anan.
"She's just a woman with long hair and little knowledge, what kind of talent can she have!"
"No one has ever seen the furniture she designed. Why do you say it's better than ours?"
"Deputy Director Zhao is not in charge of production, so how can he know what a good design is!" The young man spoke without thinking in a hurry.
"Enough, Sun Tian, you know what you are talking about!" Secretary Li scolded with a dark face.
It’s not that the factory didn’t give them a chance. The furniture that failed to be selected twice before were designed by them, which brought shame to the factory.
You have no ability yourself, but you can't stand capable people. What kind of character is this!
He's just a clerk, yet he dares to gossip about the deputy director. He has absolutely no sense of propriety!
"Okay, Xiao Sun, stop talking!" Minister Wu looked at Secretary Li's expression and quickly pulled Sun Tian aside.
This guy is simply a fool. He just wanted to embarrass this overconfident girl, but he even brought Deputy Director Zhao into the picture.
If Secretary Li tells Deputy Director Zhao this, their design department will be in trouble.
Everyone in the factory knows that Deputy Director Zhao is the confirmed candidate for director.
Sun Tian was still a little unconvinced, but Minister Wu glared at him fiercely and made him swallow the words that were about to come out of his throat.
"Designer Shen, please be magnanimous and don't argue with him."
"He's mainly curious because he's never seen the furniture you designed."
Shen Anan smiled and didn't respond.
This time, the furniture was made by Shen Yuanhao himself because he was afraid of the news leaking out. After it was made, Zhao Lei directly arranged for a car to take it to the neighboring province, so no one had seen it.
But it was also a bit ridiculous that these two people attacked her without any reason.
If they had their own abilities, those two furniture exhibitions wouldn't be ranked last.
Minister Wu's expression changed when he saw that Shen Anan did not respond to his words.
This girl looks weak, but it seems that she is not a good person.
"Don't be so shameless!" Sun Tian took two steps forward angrily.
Shen Anan raised her hands and clapped, "This show of yours is quite interesting!"
"I haven't said a word since I walked in, and you're both attacking me and apologizing. I don't know what to say."
"Now you're putting the blame on me again. I'm going to have a whole pile of hats soon!"
Minister Wu's face looked a little ugly, but for the sake of Secretary Li, he could only say that Shen Anan had misunderstood.
"I know you're not convinced, but it's actually very simple. Since both my and your furniture designs are going to be exhibited at the furniture exhibition, whoever gets the higher score will prove their design is better."
"But I heard that at the previous furniture exhibition, our furniture factory was among the last few."
"Don't let a woman with long hair and little knowledge like me take the first place!"
"The furniture we designed is definitely better than yours!" Sun Tian glared at Shen Anan and shouted unconvinced.
"Okay, let's make a bet. If my score is high, the design department will apologize to me over the factory broadcast. How about that?"
"Let's make a bet! If you lose, you'll leave our design department!"
"A word is settled!"
Minister Wu pretended to persuade them and then made the bet.
Shen Anan looked at the gloating expression on his face and secretly curled the corners of her mouth, hoping that he would smile when he apologized.
Secretary Li wanted to persuade her, but seeing Shen Anan's confident expression, he didn't say anything.
Oh, I have a feeling that this furniture exhibition will not be very peaceful!
