Chapter 318: Stocking the Shelves

After leaving school, I arrived at the workshop.

Liu Jiumu sent word for me to come over and check the quality of the finished goods, and the semi-finished products from the factories over there had also arrived; now, everyone just needed to finish the edges.

"Nan Nan, come and take a look." Liu Jiumu took An Yinan's hand, her face full of gentle smiles.

"This batch was sewn by us previously, and this batch is the goods from those two factories. I have checked the fabric; it is indeed the fabric we agreed upon. There are no quality issues with this shipment." Liu Jiumu took out the inventory list and handed it directly to An Yinan.

After An Yinan looked at the inventory list, she carefully inspected the fabric and quality of all the semi-finished products. It could be said that Xie Yuanyuan was very reliable this time; all the fabrics met the standards in the contract.

"How many finished products are there now?" An Yinan asked.

Liu Jiumu took out another notebook and handed it directly to An Yinan.

"Everything here has been recorded according to the table you provided at the beginning. Take a look." Liu Jiumu would conduct inventory every day and also inspect the clothing made by these people.

Moreover, each of them had a unique number, and every person's clothing had a special mark, making it convenient for their internal staff to register and record them.

If there were quality issues later, they would be able to find the person responsible.

"There are this many?" An Yinan asked in surprise.

Seeing the inventory of different types and sizes on the form, she looked up in pleasant surprise.

"Yes, knowing you were in a hurry over there, Qiu Hua also came to look recently. Seeing their wages, everyone at the workshop has even more motivation." Liu Jiumu laughed heartily; not to mention the people at the workshop, even her own motivation had increased quite a bit.

In the past, when she had nothing to do at home, she would read books and write.

Now, holding the wages in her hand, the feeling was truly different.

"Then, when the shop starts stocking goods the day after tomorrow, make sure to write up a handover receipt when the people from there and the people here finish the transfer," An Yinan said.

Liu Jiumu smiled, "Don't worry, leave it to me."

An Yinan had thought the spring clothing would be delayed by a few days; after all, their time was tight, and everyone had their own busy affairs, so it wasn't easy for them to gather together.

She hadn't expected Liu Jiumu to give her such a big surprise.

"Nan."

Hearing a familiar voice, An Yinan looked up and saw Wu Xia.

"Wu Xia." An Yinan smiled and nodded.

Wu Xia was Wu Youzhi's niece and was also someone specifically introduced by Wu Youzhi.

After meeting her once, An Yinan had decided on her.

The young girl was very sharp; among this group of people, she was considered the sharpest, and she was naturally cheerful, always wearing a smile on her face, making her look like a festive person.

An Yinan had a very good impression of Wu Xia.

"Nan, Qiu Hua is at the shop. Would you like to go over and take a look?" Wu Xia said.

She had come out to tidy up some things and happened to see An Yinan, which led to this greeting.

"That works, let's go over and take a look," An Yinan said with a smile.

The personnel had already undergone training, the detailed layout of the shop had begun, and following An Yinan's requirements, many wooden hangers had been made and hung on various display stands.

"Nan Nan, how do you have time to come out today?" Zhao Qiu Hua was sweating from being busy, currently directing people to tidy up.

"Why are you so busy?" An Yinan couldn't help but laugh.

Zhao Qiu Hua sighed and picked up her water cup, "Sigh, don't talk about me. It's just that I can't stop worrying, so I come to the shop to busy myself whenever I have time. How do you have time today?"

Nan Nan was just too busy; now, not only could no one find her in the dormitory, but she was also rarely found at the Xiao Yuan.

On weekdays, besides the library, one could probably only find her in the classrooms of various departments.

"Liu Jiumu asked me to come and check the inventory," An Yinan said with a smile.

"How is the inventory?" Upon hearing about the inventory, Zhao Qiu Hua immediately perked up, and the fatigue she had just felt vanished.

"The inventory is sufficient. Get ready to stock the goods," An Yinan said with a smile.

Zhao Qiu Hua's eyes lit up instantly, and she became very happy.

Now, the personnel training had entered its final stage, the shop here was fully prepared, and the plaque had already been hung, though it was covered with cloth and couldn't be revealed yet.

"When are you planning to stock the goods?"

"Well, I've already told Liu Jiumu; we'll hand over and collect the goods the day after tomorrow," An Yinan said.

"Stocking the day after tomorrow, then the grand opening..." Zhao Qiu Hua asked.

"Next week, but the prerequisite is... everyone needs to change into our clothes," An Yinan said happily.

She had already reserved clothes for everyone with Liu Jiumu; not only for the four of them, but she had also prepared some for her own roommates—this was free advertising!

"Our clothes are so good-looking. I went to the workshop to help that day and saw those clothes," a shop assistant said with pleasant surprise.

An Yinan looked at her, "You all have them too, uniforms. One set per person; go collect them from Liu Jiumu the day after tomorrow."

Uniform attire could enhance the neatness of the shop.

Moreover, since they were their own clothes, letting customers see the effect when worn would better stimulate their desire to buy.

"Really?" the shop assistants said happily.

Zhao Qiu Hua gave the four girls a look, "When has your Nan ever made an empty promise?"

Compared to An Yinan, Zhao Qiu Hua was more familiar with everyone, as she was the one who ran all the shop's affairs.

However, the shop assistants were not strangers to An Yinan, and they knew even better that the person with the most authority was this Nan.

"Tidy this place up. The hangers need to be wiped clean. The warehouse labels are done. Clean up and get off work for today," Zhao Qiu Hua arranged for them.

Afterward, she walked with An Yinan toward the Xiao Yuan.

"This time, we owe it to Yuanyuan, otherwise our spring clothing would definitely have been delayed," An Yinan said with a smile.

Mentioning Xie Yuanyuan, Zhao Qiu Hua also shook her head helplessly, "That little girl is just lazy—lazy to move, lazy to think. Otherwise, what wouldn't she succeed at?"

"I haven't seen her much lately," An Yinan said.

She had been busy these days, and the friends hadn't met for a long time either.

Zhao Qiu Hua said, "Lately, she's been camping out in the library!"

"Studying so hard?" This is truly rare; I remember when we were in Quanshui Village, whenever reading was mentioned, this girl would look as if it were killing her.

"Mm, this incident had a huge impact on her. Now, for the better development of the shop, she has started researching various fabrics to prevent being swindled when she goes to run the factories in the future." Zhao Qiu Hua was very gratified.

An Yinan also hadn't expected that this matter would change Xie Yuanyuan so much.

"That's good too." An Yinan thought for a moment.

All abilities are only truly one's own when they are in one's own hands.

"These are our current clothing items, take a look." The two sat in the room, and An Yinan took out the design drafts and handed them directly to Zhao Qiu Hua.

"Each item has three standard sizes; I didn't make any extra-large sizes," An Yinan explained.

In this era, there are very few overweight people; in an era where people cannot get enough to eat, even those with money dare not go out and spend it.

So, I simply gave up on large sizes and only kept the three standard ones.
