Chapter 104: Departure
When this year's prosperity finally came to an end, Fan Xiaoyi and the others were completely immersed in the carnival atmosphere and didn't want to wake up.
Everyone didn't expect that a small workshop like theirs could achieve such a brilliant result by putting together a stall in the corner that couldn't be smaller.
In just five days, they won the usual three or four months' orders, and signed six memorandums of cooperation, two of which involved multiple products in their multiple series. This will undoubtedly have a great guarantee for their future development.
The huge number of orders makes everyone happy and worried. Once the order is obtained, how to fulfill it within the contract period is a difficult problem. Because of quality control, it is impossible for them to outsource a lot of the process.
But this is all a later step to think, with the end of the Porcelain Expo, everyone wants to be happy first. This kind of development has been unprecedented in the more than ten years since the store was founded.
Almost all the old employees secretly admired Fan Xiaoyi and several other young people in their hearts. It was a few of them who brought the store to its current state.
However, everyone also knows that no matter how happy they are, no matter how happy they are for the brilliant sales at their porcelain fair, there is still something missing in this celebration. When people laugh, they seem to be a little weak.
Because Liao Mingfei is leaving.
When Liao Mingfei first arrived, no one knew what he meant to the store. Xu Jia even confronted him in person, and obviously disagreed with him in his words.
But for more than half a year, he has explained everything with his practical ability. The fact that they can achieve such dazzling results at this porcelain fair largely depends on the ruby red color and other characteristic glazes that are difficult for others to imitate researched by Liao Mingfei.
Once Liao Mingfei, who has gradually become the cornerstone of the store, leaves, even if the store is thriving now, the future will still be uneasy.
Such uneasiness, Xu Jia, Fang Qianqian, and Li Yirong, including the potter warehouse, are faintly buried in the hearts of all employees, so that everyone still does not dare to start a carnival in the face of such brilliant sales performance.
And such uneasiness, no one dared to mention it in front of Fan Xiaoyi.
Because everyone sees it, these days, Fan Xiaoyi is still busy every day. No, she's always been busy, and lately, she's been very busy. Arrange production from morning to night, coordinate production capacity, contact suppliers and outsourcers, your own kiln is not enough, contact a reliable kiln owner to rent a kiln, pull Yue Meng to coordinate the entire production process, and do your best to complete the order.
Because the order is too large, it really can't be completed, and we have to recruit, train personnel, and contact some old customers to see if we can properly postpone the order delivery time. does everything by herself, she is so busy every day that she doesn't even have time to eat, and even Xu Jia often stands and talks when she comes to her, let alone think about something else.
Yue Meng saw it in his eyes, but he didn't know how to persuade him.
Liao Mingfei is leaving, and almost no one can come up with any words to persuade him. Even a blind person can see that going to Chen Lao's studio is definitely the right choice for Liao Mingfei.
She had no choice but to be anxious in her heart, so she could only ask Yuan Changming when she went home at night, "Lao Liao really wants to leave?" ”
Yuan Changming was surprisingly silent, and after a pause with chopsticks, he continued to eat, and after a while, he went to tease his daughter.
Yue Meng knew that things were no longer imaginable, so she was secretly anxious for Fan Xiaoyi, and even brought part of her work home, busy while taking care of the children, and helped her arrange everything in advance as much as possible, so that she could take a break.
But Yue Meng still underestimated Fan Xiaoyi's strength to find something to do for herself. No matter how much she does, Fan Xiaoyi can still be as busy as a spinning top, and even ran to help Xu Jia during lunch, and she didn't move more than 300 glazes in the afternoon. After dinner, I went to the warehouse to count the inventory and calculate the delivery time.
It wasn't until Yue Meng was busy enough that she realized that this matter was really not her responsibility, so she had to give up and go with her. I just hope that Liao Mingfei might as well leave early, lest Fan Xiaoyi toss himself like this.
But somehow, Liao Mingfei never mentioned this matter again.
Yue Meng saw that Fan Xiaoyi's whole person was getting better and better, and her motivation was getting better and better, looking at the large number of products produced every day, the smile on her face became more and more high-spirited, as if Liao Mingfei's departure had no impact on her at all, she was just excited about the harvest of the Porcelain Expo.
But the man is losing weight day by day.
Yue Meng even had the urge to find Liao Mingfei directly and ask him when he was leaving.
But it wasn't until Xu Jia asked directly at the weekly production meeting that Yue Meng was taken aback, wouldn't it be too exciting for Fan Xiaoyi to be straightforward? But he was secretly relieved. Maybe it's better to really put it on the table.
Xu Jia asked whether the development policy of the store in the future is based on the existing glaze, relying on the current quality route and Yuan Changming's design pattern renovation to develop. Liao Mingfei has been faintly excluded from the rhetoric.
Fan Xiaoyi was suddenly stunned.
Yuan Changming cleared his throat and was about to say something, but Liao Mingfei suddenly said, "I remember that the box I gave you at that time should have other colors besides ruby red. Although most of them are not perfect, but after studying slowly, there are still a lot of new products. With Lao Yuan's design, it can be used for a long time. ”
It's been working for a long time.
It has been used for a long time, and some stores only have so many products, which are stable and can be used for many years.
Fan Xiaoyi didn't think about the meaning of the words, and only nodded, "Hmm." Anyway, we are developing very well now, and the most important thing is to stabilize the market of existing products. ”
Xu Jia understood, so he stopped asking.
Yue Meng lowered her head and pretended to be busy taking minutes of the meeting.
There was silence around the small table they were meeting with.
Because of the tight production tasks and the need for coordination of many joints, the meeting was held for a long time, but the topic was never brought up again. There is no need to mention it again.
The next day, Liao Mingfei did not come.
No one asked Fan Xiaoyi, as if everyone knew that he would disappear sooner or later.
Fan Xiaoyi remembered that in the morning, Liao Mingfei just said lightly, "You go first." She went out by herself, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
In the future, she will have to come to work by herself.
Yue Meng came over and asked her if she wanted to rent another kiln, and the two talked about it.
Another busy day has begun. This busyness was still busy from morning to evening, and even she forgot whether she had eaten today.
It wasn't until nightfall, everyone got off work one after another, and there was only one person left in the lively store, and the cool breeze of the autumn night penetrated in with an unstoppable chill, and Fan Xiaoyi was shocked that the day had passed again.
She wanted to go down the book to confirm if there was an order to be delivered within three days but it hadn't been finished yet, so she would give priority to production early tomorrow morning. But I didn't know that an inexplicable tiredness suddenly struck.
Looking at the shop that was obviously full of things, but seemed to be empty, Fan Xiaoyi was suddenly so tired that she couldn't stand anymore, so she sat down against the wall behind her.
Let's take a break, and we'll talk about it tomorrow.
Fan Xiaoyi gently closed her eyes.
But suddenly I heard a familiar voice in my ears, "Tired? (To be continued.) )
