"Xinya, let tell you, that Sister Zhang is so an. The whole thing wasn’t even my fault; she didn’t explain it clearly and ended up blaming . The boss scolded so badly, and my regularization got delayed because of it." On the video call, Tang Xiaoxiao complained with a disgruntled face.
During her internship, she did everything, from buying buttons to zippers for clothes, mostly just running errands.
"Running around every day, I feel like I’m turning into a black girl." Tang Xiaoxiao grumbled.
They were very close, like real sisters, and almost every night they’d chat on the phone.
After finishing her rant, Tang Xiaoxiao asked, "Xinya, how’s it going on your end?"
She knew earlier that the Celestial Fortune Clothing Factory had expanded, Zhou Xinya got a promotion, and her salary increased by two thousand yuan. She couldn’t help but feel a twinge of envy.
But her factory had thousands of people, and compared to Celestial Fortune Clothing Factory, it was still too small in scale.
Hearing Tang Xiaoxiao’s words, Zhou Xinya pressed her lips together, smiled, and said, "Our Celestial Fortune Clothing Factory is preparing to expand again."
"Preparing to expand again?" Tang Xiaoxiao was taken aback.
The Celestial Fortune Clothing Factory had only been established for less than two months and had already expanded twice.
But Zhou Xinya didn’t ntion how many more people the factory was hiring as it was a company secret.
"Are you going to get another raise?" Tang Xiaoxiao asked curiously after thinking for a mont.
Last ti when Celestial Fortune Clothing Factory expanded, Zhou Xinya got a raise.
"Yeah, a two thousand increase." Zhou Xinya nodded with a smile.
"Really got a raise." Although she had guessed, hearing Zhou Xinya’s confirmation, Tang Xiaoxiao didn’t know how to feel inside.
With another two thousand added, Zhou Xinya’s salary was now eight thousand a month.
They were only third-year students who had just started internships. Many people in the class group chat complained about low salaries, with many earning less than two thousand.
That’s normal; they didn’t have any experience, and at any clothing factory, they’d have to start from the most basic role as an intern assistant clothing designer.
After more than a month, they could beco regular employees. After a few years of settling, they could finally beco real clothing designers, which was the path for most.
No experience? Which big factory would dare hire you?
Previously, Tang Xiaoxiao was envious of a person at Red Mangrove who beca a real designer in just half a year, because once you reach that level, your salary skyrockets.
At this mont, Zhou Xinya had reached a salary of eight thousand in just a month and a half, exceeding that designer’s earnings.
Such a salary would definitely make everyone envious when returning to school to prepare for graduation in the fourth year.
It was heard that no one from their previous design major graduates had achieved an eight-thousand salary while returning to school.
"Ah ah ah, Xinya, I envy you so much, eight thousand! Next ti we et, you have to treat to a big al!" Tang Xiaoxiao shouted enviously, "I want to be a tycoon!"
"Of course, I can." Zhou Xinya replied with a smile.
At this mont, she felt strange because she and Tang Xiaoxiao had both applied to Red Mangrove Clothing Factory. In the end, Tang Xiaoxiao got accepted, and she was envious but had no choice but to join Celestial Fortune Clothing Factory.
Now, however, Tang Xiaoxiao, who joined a thousand-strong factory like Red Mangrove, complained daily about doing miscellaneous tasks and earned less than two thousand yuan, while she had her designs in stores, even in large cities like Jinling.
When she first joined Celestial Fortune Clothing Factory, she worried about its chaotic environnt, fearing that all positions were filled by the boss’s relatives and leaders, but none of these happened. The boss only cared about each person’s abilities.
All she needed to do was focus on her work.
During holidays, she frequently visited the Celestial Fortune Clothing store to see her designs being bought by others. The sense of accomplishnt was indescribable.
Now, she had even beco the head of the design departnt at Celestial Fortune Clothing Factory, with a salary reaching eight thousand.
In a short ti, Tang Xiaoxiao started to envy her.
Their roles seed to have switched.
"Xiaoxiao, why don’t you co and work at our Celestial Fortune Clothing Factory too."
Zhou Xinya thought for a mont and said, "President Qin is opening a store in Jinling, and business is booming. I feel our factory might have to expand again. Manager Qin wants us to hire eight more people in the design departnt. With your design skills, you’ll definitely get in. Our factory only focuses on design skills and the sales of clothing styles; we don’t emphasize qualifications much, and you’ll be able to get promoted quickly."
"President Qin..."
Hearing Zhou Xinya’s words, Tang Xiaoxiao thought of the young man who seed younger than them.
At that ti, Qin Yun only had two forty-square-ter clothing stores and a clothing factory that wasn’t fully established.
But now, in such a short ti, that President Qin’s career was expanding rapidly.
"I’ll pass." After hesitating for a few seconds, Tang Xiaoxiao ultimately declined.
She shook her head and said, "I successfully passed the interview before, but at the last mont, I bailed on your President Qin. If I go, it’ll be super awkward."
Despite agreeing to work at Celestial Fortune Clothing Factory, when she got accepted into Red Mangrove Clothing Factory, she directly rejected Celestial Fortune, doing so the night before Celestial Fortune’s opening. Asking her to leave Red Mangrove and join Celestial Fortune now would indeed be awkward.
She worried that the boss might make things difficult for her.
Thinking about Zhou Xinya’s current salary, Tang Xiaoxiao sighed internally.
In terms of design ability, she considered herself better than Zhou Xinya, and her school grades were also higher, which is why Red Mangrove accepted her and eliminated Zhou Xinya.
If she had joined Celestial Fortune Clothing Factory, her achievents wouldn’t be weaker than Zhou Xinya’s now.
Unfortunately, she had dismissed Celestial Fortune Clothing Factory as a small company and left without hesitation. Now, even if tempted, she couldn’t just change her mind.
"Alright then."
Hearing Tang Xiaoxiao’s refusal, Zhou Xinya thought it over and said no more. If she were in Tang Xiaoxiao’s position, she’d probably feel awkward too.
"Okay, let’s stop talking about this. Xinya, don’t think you’ve surpassed , okay? I’m still developing, and I’ll definitely beco a great designer in the future." Tang Xiaoxiao said with a playful grin.
Even though her job situation wasn’t ideal, she was still young, only twenty-one, with decades ahead to strive.
She didn’t believe she’d fall behind Zhou Xinya in the future.
...
Outside the dorm, Qin Yun finished a call with Qin Xuan and thought for a mont before calling his parents to briefly inform them about the situation in Jinling.
