Chapter 25: Overnight Success

Shen Hongxing shook her head, refusing, “I’m very busy!”

Her down jacket fashion show was imminent; she didn’t have time to see some unimportant people.

Lu Jiaoyang didn’t push it. He nodded, “Alright, I’ll have Old Zhang take you back to Sunshine Garments!”

“Mm!”

Back at the Sunshine Garments factory, Shen Hongxing continued preparing for tomorrow’s show.

She selected a dozen different styles of down jackets, put them on the mannequins, and then moved the mannequins outside the cold storage with Xu Shuangshuang and the others.

This way, customers could see the various styles on the mannequins as soon as they entered.

After setting everything up, she remembered the note Lu Jiaoyang had given her and went to the factory director’s office.

She handed the note to Jiang Daqiao.

Jiang Daqiao glanced at it. It was an address, and he didn’t understand, “What’s this?”

“Director Jiang, this is the address of the Antarctic expedition team. They will need thousands of down jackets for their Antarctic expedition. If we can successfully secure their order, the factory will have a steady stream of down jacket orders in the future!”

The down jackets worn by the Antarctic expedition team would be a powerful advertisement!

An advertising effect that couldn’t be bought with money.

“Good, let’s go to this address immediately and personally deliver the invitations!”

The assistant didn’t believe it, “Factory Director, could the Antarctic expedition team’s office be located in such a hidden place?”

Jiang Daqiao had unwavering faith in what Shen Hongxing said, “If she says it’s there, it must be. We just follow her!”

“Yes, Factory Director!”

Shen Hongxing followed the address to the back row of buildings and saw a sign hanging on a dilapidated door.

Antarctic Expedition Team Office

Shen Hongxing knocked on the door and asked the staff inside, “Hello, is this the Antarctic expedition team?”

The staff member looked her up and down, “May I ask who you are?”

“Oh, we’re from Sunshine Garments. This is our invitation. We’d like to invite you to our down jacket fashion show tomorrow night. Would you be free?”

“So you’re from Sunshine Garments!” The staff member became enthusiastic and invited Shen Hongxing and her team inside.

Shen Hongxing and her team sat down.

The staff member said, “Even if you hadn’t come to deliver the invitation today, we would have gone to the fashion show tomorrow!”

“To be honest, we’ve been planning to order a batch of imported down jackets. However, our newly established expedition team has a limited budget. Fortunately, we know that your factory has a surplus of export down jackets, and we were planning to visit your factory!”

Shen Hongxing wondered.

Could they have heard about it from Lu Jiaoyang?

“Director Jiang, rest assured, as long as your down jackets are of good quality and the price is reasonable, our expedition team will definitely support domestic products! I hope that one day, all citizens of our country can wear warm and beautiful down jackets!”

Shen Hongxing, “Rest assured, soon, every citizen in our country will have several down jackets, and we will quickly surpass those developed countries!”

“Just for that statement from this young lady, we will definitely support our national brand!” The staff member politely shook hands with Director Jiang.

Yesterday, he received a call from Commander Gu.

Commander Gu said that there was a batch of ready-made down jackets in Shanyin County. They were originally intended for export but were now stuck in the warehouse due to unforeseen circumstances.

He also said that a down jacket fashion show would be held in the cold storage in the next two days.

He asked them to be sure to attend the show.

If the quality of the down jackets was good and the price was reasonable, then the expedition team’s dedicated down jackets would be custom-made at this factory.

“Then see you at the fashion show tomorrow!”

“Okay!”

Tomorrow was the down jacket fashion show, but the promotional photos for the show hadn’t been taken yet.

Shen Hongxing rented a camera from a photo studio and took Xu Shuangshuang and two others, along with several male models, to the cold storage.

All the lamps were turned on.

They came to Shen Hongxing.

“Stand like me!” Shen Hongxing put one hand on her hip and the other on her chin, teaching them how to pose.

Xu Shuangshuang stood according to her instructions.

Shen Hongxing took the camera and clicked several shots.

Then she changed to another pose.

Next were Chen Jiayi, Cao Hongxia, and the male models, each striking different poses.

They didn’t finish until ten o’clock at night.

“You’re all tired, why don’t you go back and rest?” Shen Hongxing felt bad for making Xu Shuangshuang and the others work so hard.

They refused, “Boss, we’re not tired, we’ll go back with you!”

Shen Hongxing couldn’t refuse, so she agreed, “Okay, then after I go to the photo studio, we’ll go back together!”

She took Xu Shuangshuang and the others to the photo studio.

The owner of the photo studio was a middle-aged woman.

She was waiting for Shen Hongxing.

Shen Hongxing handed the camera to the owner, “I’ll pick up the photos tomorrow morning!”

“Don’t worry, I’ll work overtime tonight to develop them for you!” The owner readily agreed.

She got home almost at midnight and fell asleep as soon as she hit the bed.

The next day…

When she arrived at the photo studio, the owner was chatting with a woman dressed in finery.

Seeing her, the owner immediately got up and greeted Shen Hongxing with a smile, “Miss Shen, come in, let me introduce you. This is Manager Chen from Bright Socks. When I was packing your photos, she happened to see them and thought your photos were excellent. She wants to make friends with you!”

“Miss Shen, it’s you?” Manager Chen recognized Shen Hongxing at a glance.

The owner was surprised, “You know each other?”

Manager Chen nodded, “Yes, our factory had a machine problem before, and it was Miss Shen who helped solve it! Our factory director said that Miss Shen can come to our factory to get supplies anytime.”

She looked at Shen Hongxing with admiration, “I didn’t expect Miss Shen not only knows how to repair sock machines but also takes such good photos!”

“It’s alright, Manager Chen, if you ever need anything, just call me.”

Thinking of something, Shen Hongxing took out an invitation from her pocket and handed it to Manager Chen, “Manager Chen, this is an invitation to a down jacket fashion show I’m planning for Sunshine Garments. If you’re interested, you can come to Asi Cold Storage at six o’clock tonight!”

“A down jacket fashion show? Do you mean showcasing the down jackets one by one?” Manager Chen asked.

Shen Hongxing nodded, “Exactly!”

She couldn’t believe it; the dozen or so styles in the photos were already dazzling.

And there were even more beautiful ones.

“Of course!”

“Of course!”

“Then I’ll go see your down jacket fashion show tomorrow and talk to the factory director about it!”

Unexpectedly, she met Manager Chen while picking up her photos.

Manager Chen also wanted to hold a stocking fashion show.

This down jacket fashion show had to succeed; it couldn’t fail.

If it succeeded, she would make a name for herself.

Back at the cold storage, Shen Hongxing put the photos she had retrieved on the outer wall of the cold storage.

Jiang Daqiao was restless.

This time, he was gambling with his life. If he failed, he would not only be dismissed, but the entire Sunshine Garments factory would face bankruptcy due to the surplus down jackets, and thousands of employees would lose their jobs.

The burden was too heavy.

The responsibility was too great.

He hadn’t been able to sleep properly for days.

Shen Hongxing naturally understood his anxiety.

She comforted him, “Director Jiang, don’t worry. Not only will you not be dismissed, but you will be promoted. Sunshine Garments will not go bankrupt because of the previous mistake.

In the next few decades, Sunshine Garments will develop into a listed group, ranking among the top 500 companies globally!”

She didn’t know how Jiang Daqiao had helped the factory overcome its difficulties in her previous life.
