Chapter 122 Good Mentor and Helpful Friend

As expected, Director Wang convened a general meeting in the factory.

He directly explained the fair competition for the position of team leader this time.

All the staff of the six teams had nothing to say, this is really fair and just.

So those who want to sign up for the position of team leader have already stood up, and the requirement is that everyone actively signs up.

In the end, there were 34 people who wanted to compete for the position of team leader.

Of course, they were all female workers, and male employees had no say in this.

On the day of the competition, the 34 people were locked in the room and made down quilts individually.

Xia Zhi blinked at Zhao Hong, Liu Zhiyan and others.

Don't say anything, I don't know anything else!

When making down jackets, everyone came to help.

The first down jacket was completed by Xia Zhi alone, but when it came to the second and third down jackets, it was when Liu Zhiyan and himself made down jackets separately.

At that time, all the female educated youth came to help, and everyone wanted to wear a down jacket, so they thought about coming to learn from experience.

I wanted to ask Xia Zhi to make down jackets for me, but she obviously knew that there were so many of them that it was not appropriate for her to make them one by one.

Most women can make quilts without any problem, but there is still a difference between down jacket quilts and ordinary cotton quilts.

It is different from what they imagined.

People who have made down jackets obviously have different experience in making down jacket quilts.

Xia Zhi taught them many techniques in making down jackets, which are also useful for down quilts.

She did not expect that these would come in handy one day. Obviously, all eight of them are competitive.

This can be regarded as an unintentional success.

Sure enough, 34 quilts were hung out according to the numbers.

They were hung on the ropes in the factory yard. All the female workers lined up to check them by themselves. They could touch them and look at the stitches carefully. Finally, they selected 20 quilts according to their own preferences.

Of course, for the sake of fairness and justice, Director Wang not only invited the team leader Zhou Zhengan, the deputy director of the down quilt factory, and the old master who came again. The four of them served as judges and had four more votes.

The factory yard became lively, with 34 quilts hanging all over it, and many people were watching the excitement outside.

The selection results came to a successful conclusion amid the noise.

The votes cast in the ballot box were counted on the spot to prevent others from thinking that they were cheating.

The blackboard began to count, and the 34 numbers were followed by the votes of all the employees, and 20 numbers were quickly selected.

The name of the maker was revealed under each number.

As expected, Xia Zhi saw that all eight female educated youths were included in the 20 numbers.

Zhao Hong and the others were a little excited. Even they could not have imagined that learning so much with Xia Zhi would actually help them in their future lives.

Who would have thought that just making a down jacket and helping a little bit would come in handy in the end.

Although they didn't learn much, they were naturally better than those women who had never made down jackets.

There were only eight female educated youths among the 20 people, and the remaining 12 were all local women.

They were clever and good at making clothes, so they obviously had more say and thought when making down quilts.

Every time a name was announced, everyone cheered.

Apparently some people got what they wanted.

The names of people from their team were included in the list of 20 people.

Although the final result was not satisfactory, everyone was convinced because they did not cheat and they had no reason to refute.

The 20 selected team leaders formed a study class and began to learn the production process from the master from Haishi.

The teaching process was only 15 days, and everyone was required to study hard.

Xiazhi's performance was very outstanding, almost far ahead of the others.

The master who taught them was called Li Gui.

He was 60 years old this year and had been a tailor for 55 years.

From being an apprentice in a tailor shop at the age of five to becoming a master at the age of 30, he has been a tailor for 30 years.

At first, he was just a tailor, and later, the domestic industrial reform led to the establishment of a garment factory.

Li Gui also became a master in the garment factory.

From being an ordinary worker at the beginning to becoming a skilled worker and technician because of his excellent skills, and now he has become the deputy director of the garment factory, it can be said that he has come step by step.

But he also has to admire the girl in front of him. She doesn’t look old, but she is really useful and clever.

Her craftsmanship is better than that of the old master who has been working for decades.

Not only is the workmanship meticulous, but the most important thing is that this girl has a good brain. Some of the suggestions and improvements in the process are definitely challenging her original old-fashioned thinking, but the results are surprisingly good.

Among the students of the same period, this girl can be said to be outstanding.

Li Gui really admires Xia Zhi.

The graduation exam on the last day is that each of them makes a down jacket on the spot, and it is also for all the employees in the factory to see the results of their learning.

Li Gui said goodbye to all his students before leaving, and everyone was reluctant to leave.

Li Gui pulled Xia Zhi to a deserted place and said.

"Xiao Xia, you are the smartest child I have ever seen. The master really can't bear to have you buried here. Think about it. If you are willing, the master can discuss it with someone and our factory director after he goes back. You are transferred to work in a garment factory in Haishi."

“That’s where you develop.”

Li Gui really cherishes his talents.

Xia Zhi shook his head,

"Master, I said that I would contribute my youth to the construction of the frontier. This is my vast world.

Although being in Haishi may be beneficial to my personal development in the future, we need talents here, and we need people who are willing to sacrifice themselves and contribute to the development of this place.

Only by using my abilities here can I contribute to more people. "

"Master, the Northwest needs talents if everyone wants to live a good life.

This place can only become more and more impoverished. As you can see, all the conditions here are not as good as those in Haishi.

But although the people here work hard, they still work hard to change their lives with their hands. "

"I want to work side by side with them and work hard to change this place and create a brand-new Northwest, so that this agricultural reclamation area can truly be full of vitality."

Li Gui looked at Xia Zhi and couldn't help admiring him, and had to admit that even he was in his mind.

Haishi people who treat all outsiders as country people will be moved by the selfless spirit of the girl in front of them with their high sense of superiority.

This is pure nobility.

"Okay, Xiaoxia, if you encounter any difficulties in this area in the future, just write to the master.

We have time to communicate more. The styles, fabrics, etc. that the master has access to in Haishi are more convenient than here. If you need any help at that time, just ask.

The master will definitely help you. "

Xia Zhi got a good mentor and friend.

This was something I didn’t have in my previous life.
