Chapter 2471 The new life of female naturalized people ([-])

Wanzi Pavilion was originally just a tailor's room at No. 82, which was dedicated to serve the elders and life secretaries.The tailors inside were the first batch of naturalized civilian workers who accepted modern tailoring techniques.

It not only produces modern high-end fashion and various improved Hanfu, but also the first batch of enterprises that produce modern women's underwear and stockings in this time and space.

"...Hong Yuan and several veterans of the textile system tried a variety of natural elastic fibers without nylon, Lycra and other artificial elastic fibers, and cooperated with the mechanical department to develop knitting machines and produced the first batch of silk stockings The product has achieved great success as soon as it came out, filling the domestic gap in this field of products. It not only meets the needs of the domestic market, but also exports to European countries in large quantities..." (Textile Industry Chronicle 1700 Edition)
With the continuous expansion of the business and the increasing market demand, this small tailoring room was separated from No. 82 and became an independent clothing company. Although it is still a high-end line, the service area has been greatly expanded.Naturalized people and aborigines can "enjoy like a veteran" as long as they can afford it.According to the person in charge, a retired life secretary of Mr. Hong had served in No. 82 for many years. He was skilled in craftsmanship and had a wide network of contacts among the elders and local wealthy households.

Now it occupies a small three-story brick and wood building alone in Dongmen City.There are fitting rooms, clothing rooms, warehouses and design rooms inside.It is the fashion center of Lingao and even the whole Hainan Island.The overall style of Wanzi Pavilion is an "eclectic" style of "Ming and Macao hybrid". In terms of style, it is quite friendly to big households.It can be said that it satisfies their desire to "try new things" without being too "avant-garde".Ladies and wives from rich local families come to order more.Even though they dislike being "bold" and can't wear some styles, they still have to come here to order a few to wear in their boudoir, otherwise they will lose face.

For the majority of naturalized women, Wanzi Pavilion also satisfies their desire to wear "beautiful clothes".Once the desire to consume is aroused, it becomes irresistible.Many female workers will save money for a few months or even half a year to buy a piece of Wanzige brand clothes.

Wanzi Pavilion has a very small frontage, very inconspicuous in the bustling streets of Dongmen City.Because He Xiaoyue was an employee, she didn't enter through the front door, but walked through the employee passage in the alley next to it.

As soon as she entered, she took out her badge and waved it at the gatekeeper.The janitors here, like most places in Lingao, are all disabled people who are in military operations or disabled due to work-related injuries.The gatekeeper of Wanzi Pavilion was about 30 years old and lost an arm.

He wears an indigo clerk smock with a purple ribbon bordered with two white borders on the chest button -- a sign that he is a disabled worker who has received a "work injury ribbon."This type of ribbon is awarded to those industrial workers whose work-related injuries have reached the level of "moderately disabled" on the front line of production.

He nodded with a smile, and didn't look at He Xiaoyue's badge - she has been working here for two months.The gatekeeper had known her for a long time.

"Miss He, you came so early! It's only 06:30."

"If you come early, the bus will not be crowded. If you come later, there will be too many people." He Xiaoyue took out her work card from the wall, punched it in the punch card machine, and walked up the stairs quickly.

The first floor is the sales office, which is not where she works.But every day she will go around to find out what styles are selling well and which products are attracting more attention.Although He Xiaoyue doesn't know what "market demand" is, she knows that most popular products have some common characteristics.No one taught her, but she would sum up silently by herself.

The second floor is a production workshop, which is equivalent to a small garment factory.He Xiaoyue originally worked here.

When she was assigned, she served as a "craftsman" in the workshop, which is a job with technical components.The specific work is to decompose the designer's drawing into pieces that can be manipulated by tailors, and formulate the cutting process.At the same time supervise the garment production and check the quality.

He Xiaoyue's traditional female celebrity skills are very solid, and she has systematically learned cutting and drawing in the training class, and she is handy in doing this.However, she is not content to just be a "craftsman".Although this position has put her among the ranks of "cadres", what He Xiaoyue looks forward to more is the "design room" on the third floor.

Designers are "golden-collar" employees in the entire Wanzige enterprise. Not only are there a small number of them, but they are also highly paid.The key is to be superior in social status.Several naturalized civilian designers in the design studio are obviously more confident when facing the veterans, and the relationship is more "equal".

Today is the critical moment for whether she can "take it to the next level".

Guo Xi'er has already shown her breasts, saying that the elder is very satisfied with her design, and this review is more of a formality.Her promotion to designer is "a sure thing".But she was still somewhat apprehensive.

Before the workers in the factory came, she went to the office first and cleaned up her workstation. The hot water bottle in the office was already full, and the floor was cleaned up—this was all done by the janitor.Although he only has one hand, he does things carefully.what is his nameHe Xiaoyue thought for a long time before she remembered that his name was Wu Xinsheng. Judging from his name, he was probably a refugee from the mainland.

She looked at the wall clock on the wall, it would be just after 06:30.Guo Xier will not come until seven o'clock.She tidied up the office, made herself a cup of tea, and flipped through the "Compendium of Australian Women's Wear" borrowed from the reference room.

Seeing that it was almost seven o'clock, He Xiaoyue picked up her bag and went up to the third floor in two steps.

Stepping into the designer's office, he saw Guo Xi'er, and hurriedly greeted: "Designer Guo!"

Seeing her, Guo Xi'er smiled sweetly: "You came so early! How many times have you told me that you can just call me Xi'er, don't be so reserved!" He asked again, "Did you bring the things?"

He Xiaoyue hurriedly went up to her and opened the bag in her hand, but Guo Xier didn't take it, and pulled her into the fitting room. The curtains of the fitting room were tightly drawn, and the large frosted skylight on the roof let in the sunlight, which was very bright.

Guo Xier looked at He Xiaoyue mysteriously, and smiled again: "Actually, I forgot to tell you last time, the second trial is not mainly about the drawings, but the actual effect, so..."

"What?"

Guo Xi'er put her arms around He Xiaoyue and went to unbutton her chest: "So sister Xiaoyue, you are our model today, you have to perform well, you know that there are two veterans at the second trial today! It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!”

"Ah! Designer Guo, I'll do it myself, don't..."

"What are you shy about? They're all girls—and what do you call me?"

"Well, Miss Xi'er, you don't need to take off your underwear..."

"No, the underwear on your body has no whalebone, and the lines are not good enough."

As she said that, Guo Xi'er quickly took off He Xiaoyue's clothes, looked her body up and down, and sighed with satisfaction and jealousy: "Sister Xiaoyue has a really good figure."

From a female point of view, He Xiaoyue's figure is very beautiful: fair skin, smooth and plump lines, beautiful legs, just a standard clothes hanger.

He Xiaoyue blushed with shame, and covered her chest with her hands: "Okay, sister Xi'er, stop making trouble...give me your clothes."

Then Guo Xi'er walked to a cabinet with a smile, and took out a set of clothes from it: "This is your 'Wei Yu Ping Sheng' sample dress, put it on quickly."

"Wei Yu Ping Sheng" is the first dress designed by He Xiaoyue. It borrows from the design of the chest-length skirt in the Tang Dynasty. The skirt has four layers of gauze layered and staggered. The outside is green and the inside is white. It is specially cut into an irregular petal shape. A silk flower peony hangs down two gauze ribbons, and the breeze blows, making it look extraordinarily elegant and refreshing.

It is especially worth mentioning that He Xiaoyue boldly adopted short sleeves, and once she gritted her teeth, she shortened the skirt to above her knees. Even Guo Xi'er, who has received a new education, was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth.Is this too short?Fangcaodi's skirt is not so short!
"Sister Xiaoyue, you can't draw like this! The design drawing submitted by this naturalized citizen has a pass rate of less than [-]%, so you..."

"But it looks good this way." He Xiaoyue insisted, "Look at those Australian magazines, the female models either wear long skirts or short skirts, and very few of them put the skirts below the knees like you said. And plaid Don't all the girls in the skirt club dress like this?"

After some persuasion, He Xiaoyue finally agreed to add a long design, but Guo Xier strongly recommended the middle one, but she was reluctant to add it. Unexpectedly, after the drawings were handed in, several elders of the review team praised them greatly, and even offered to meet He Xiaoyue to listen to the design. Design ideas.If you are a talent in this area, you will be promoted to work in the design studio in the future.Guo Xier was pleasantly surprised and a little bit sour, and specially asked the tailor to make the second trial samples, especially the short ones, and choose the best and most transparent gauze. Don't be reluctant to use materials——Good He Xiaoyue, If you dare to design such a short skirt, wear it yourself first!

In the next room, Liu Shuixin was looking carefully at He Xiaoyue's design draft, and nodded again after a long time: "Talent, her talent is really extraordinary."

For a long time, Laigao's clothing design has not been of a good standard. It either simplified and copied modern styles, or bluntly matched Ming Dynasty and modern times. On the street, strange combinations such as gowns and work clothes, or short jackets and long trousers can be seen everywhere. .Not to mention female elders, many male elders find their eyes sharp, but clothing cannot be forced, and the Senate can only let nature take its course and provide guidance.

To be honest, it is hard to say how clever He Xiaoyue's design is from the perspective of old time and space.However, her ability to design such clothes with modern aesthetic taste can only be explained by talent.

Although this clothing may not be able to catch the eyes of naturalized people and natives, modern ideas and modern consciousness are the most important traits of naturalized people in the Senate. Once discovered, it is like a treasure.
