African Nationhood

Chapter 80 Korean Server Troubles
  The far-reaching impact behind this phenomenon made Shi Jintang shudder.

He immediately summoned Trudeau and asked him to investigate the recent movements of Kim Xiyue and her crony Shi Xianji.

After Trudeau was ordered to leave, Shi Jintang called in Kim Yong-hee, the director of the Walvis Bay Garment Factory.

Kim Yong-hee is twenty-three years old this year, with average looks. She was an embroiderer in North Korea.

After arriving here, because he mastered the use of a sewing machine and made clothes quickly and well with a sewing machine, he was appreciated by Shi Jintang.

In addition, she was also talented in cutting cloth and making clothes, so she was promoted to the director of a garment factory.

When Yongji Kim came to Shi Jintang's two-story building in Walvis Bay, Shi Jintang was reading the "Cape Town Bulletin" and "African Business Daily" from the past few days.

Two newspapers sponsored by the Cape Colony government announced that the Boers and the British were about to sign a peace agreement.

The content of the agreement was announced in advance: the Transvaal Republic would become independent again.

However, Britain was still the sovereign state of the Transvaal. The Boers basically achieved independence except for their diplomatic rights and the inability to make treaties with other forces.

Shi Jintang estimated that they should sign a formal agreement in August, and by then there should be a big figure from the British Colonial Department in Whitehall coming to sign on behalf of the British government.

"buckle"

Shi Jintang looked up and found Jin Yongji, who was reserved in words and deeds, standing outside the door and not daring to come in.

She was still wearing the red jumper she had worn when the immigrants arrived. The woman was not tall.

Although not handsome, her husband was a quartermaster in the 1st Advance Battalion.

Although the two of them are often busy, the advantage is that they are safe, and her husband does not need to fight on the battlefield.

Shi Jintang waved to Jin Yongji outside the door, "Come in."

After Jin Yongji came in, she didn't know what to say and just stood silently.

Shi Jintang couldn't help but laugh, "It's not the first time we've met, why are you so reserved? Sit down. What would you like to drink, black tea or plain water?"

"Just boiled water."

Shi Jintang poured her a glass of boiling water. After receiving it, the other party held it in her hand without saying a word without fear of burning it.

This woman is so honest!
  "Has anyone come to the garment factory to see you recently?"

"Kang Dang"

The hot water cup in Jin Yongji's hand fell to the ground. She trembled, lowered her head and whispered softly: "Shi, Mr. Shi, this is not my fault, they forced me..."

Hearing this, Shi Jintang sighed, "Tell me, who is looking for you and what do you want to do?"

Jin Yongji groaned and collapsed on the ground. The hot water splashed on the ground soaked her clothes and she couldn't care less.

Seeing this woman's appearance, Shi Jintang became a little curious. Is there really someone plotting to overthrow him?

"There are many of them, and often three or five of them come to me and ask me to help tailor the clothes of officials and family members.

How can they afford to wear official uniforms when they are all civilians?

But most of their husbands were non-commissioned officers, so they suppressed my husband.

I asked my husband to tell me that I must help them make clothes. If they don’t do it, they will instigate their husbands to embarrass my husband..."

Hearing this, Shi Jintang was stunned, is this it?
  Where is this?
  But I can't draw any conclusions easily yet. Maybe this seemingly honest and honest woman is a veteran of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, acting in front of me.

Let’s wait for Trudeau’s investigation results and compare the two.

"You will write down the list of these people and give it to me later. Is there anyone else who comes to you besides them?"

"Ah, others? You mean Shi Xianji, Miss?"

Hearing this, Shi Jintang became a little interested, "What exactly did Shi Xianji ask you to do? Tell me!"

Mr. Shi asked so seriously that Jin Yongji was frightened.

She spoke tremblingly: "Three months ago, Shi Xianji came to me and told me, Mr. Shi, Mr. Shi, you like Miss Jin Xiyue very much, and you also like the Korean clothes she wears.

So I was asked to help Ms. Jin design a few more sets of makeup and clothing, preferably ones that would make her look charming and sexy. "

"I was confused at the time, so I helped design it. Then those people came to me..."

Shi Jintang was stunned. He was the one who was eating melons. It seemed that he was the culprit.

The allusion of "The King of Chu has such a slim waist" never goes out of style.

This is a big lesson that you must keep in mind in the future.

"Besides these, is there anything else?"

"No more, I work hard every day and never slack off!"

"Well, let's leave this matter like this for now. From now on, no matter who asks, just say I don't know. Remember?"

Seeing Master Shi's expression return to normal, Jin Yongji felt much more at ease and replied in a low voice: "Yes, I remember."

"Get up. Here are pens and paper. I'll describe it and you'll draw it."

Jin Yongji nodded, carefully stood up and sat at the table nearby.

"I plan to introduce new clothes. You have experience. According to what I say, you can draw the new clothes design drawings."

Jin Yongji nodded, "Mr. Shi, just tell me, I will try my best to draw."

"My idea is that men's clothing should have stand-up lapels, four patch pockets with penholder-shaped flaps, buttons on the flaps, seven buttons on the front placket, three buttons on the cuffs, and a slit in the back..."

After listening to Mr. Shi's words, Jin Yongji tried her best to understand her boss's thoughts and made modifications on the spot based on Mr. Shi's feedback.

It took nearly three hours to sort out the first version of three costume designs.

The men's clothing that Shi Jintang wants to promote is the "Mao suit". This kind of clothing is modern and retro, connecting the past and the future. It is a new type of clothing that combines ancient oriental culture and wisdom.

With men's clothing, there must also be women's clothing. The women's clothing in his mind is naturally not a cheongsam with a large slit, but a new style of clothing.

In China in the 1960s and 1970s, it was very popular among women to wear "Lenin suits."

This kind of clothing is simple, elegant, solemn and appropriate, which is in line with the current overall atmosphere of Nanhua Company.

This kind of clothing can also restrict and cover women's body beauty, allowing them to be more adaptable to modern clothing.

As for the student uniforms, Shi Jintang also wanted to unify the style. He planned to adopt the student uniforms that were popular during the Republic of China. Consisting of a top and a skirt, it is fresh and elegant and very suitable for the body and temperament of Oriental people.

This kind of elegant and beautiful clothing is much better than Hanbok, and it is more suitable for the children of immigrants who have relocated to find a sense of cultural identity and belonging.

Jin Yongji looked at the clothing design drawings she wrote, and she was very surprised. Mr. Shi really didn't look like an Oriental, but white people couldn't be better than him.

The clothes he designs are elegant, vibrant and unforgettable.

Especially the student clothes, they are so pretty!
  "You can make these three sets of clothes as soon as possible after you go back, and then make one set each according to my figure and Miss Jin's figure. Can you do it?"

Jin Yongji nodded quickly, "Yes, I will do it as soon as possible."

"Well, you go back first. In addition, the production of student uniforms will be arranged as soon as possible. I hope that in the new semester in September, all the students of Zidi Primary School will be able to wear the new uniforms."

"Well, I understand. I will definitely try my best to arrange the production sequence. I will never delay your arrangements."

Jin Yongji left.

By evening, Trudeau was back.

He brought back detailed information about Shi Xianji and Jin Xiyue.

There is nothing unusual about Jin Xiyue. On the contrary, Shi Xianji often finds opportunities to hang out with the wives of middle-level officers.

Most of the content of the party was to help Jin Xiyue build momentum and promote Jin Xiyue as the future mistress and main wife.

Shi Jintang frowned as he looked at it. The longer such a heartless confidant stayed by Jin Xiyue's side, the more harm he would do to her.

So Shi Jintang directly ordered Shi Xianji to work as a teacher in Fushui District and set off immediately.

At the same time, someone was sent to inform Jin Xiyue that he would stay in Walvis Bay Port for some time to work.

No more meeting for now.

After handling these matters, Shi Jintang ordered the Anhai Town Military Headquarters to issue an order: the middle-level non-commissioned officers in each battalion whose wives were of Korean origin were dispersed to each major area and evenly deployed.

The general principle is: don’t let them gather together.

In addition, an internal advisory notice was issued to the chief officers of each battalion, stating that wives of military non-commissioned officers should try not to marry ethnic minorities. This provision was set as a prerequisite for officer promotion.

Married non-commissioned officers must be properly arranged to avoid making their subordinates suspicious.

……

A week later, Kim Yong Ji sent two new sets of men's and women's clothing.

After Shi Jintang tried it on, he personally named the new men's and women's clothing "August 1st Chinese Clothing".

Student uniforms are named "August 1st Student Uniforms."

Shi Jintang had people send the "August 1st Style Huafu" women's clothing to Anhai Town for Jin Xiyue.

Then he returned to Anhai Town wearing the new "August 1st Chinese Clothing" men's clothing.

First, I went to the Anhai Arsenal and witnessed the locally produced Martini-Henry rifle coming off the assembly line.

After encouraging the technicians at the arsenal, he went to the Anhai Town Conference and Administration Center.

On this day, Shi Jintang held an enlarged meeting of non-commissioned officers at the regional, battalion and company levels.

At the meeting, Shi Jintang announced that the "August 1st Chinese Uniform" would be the regular uniform for employees within Nanhua Company, but the military uniforms would not be replaced.

Then Shi Jintang made self-criticism at the meeting and warned the cadres not to take things lightly and to guard against the slightest mistakes.

At the same time, he sternly pointed out that there is a small group of bad elements with sinister intentions in Nanhua Company.

These people intend to destroy the good situation of Nanhua Company, but don't be afraid, their ambitions will definitely fail.

Although we are bound to win, we must always be wary of such bad elements and must not be knocked down by sugar-coated bullets.

Military officers, especially senior military officers, should pay attention to "pillow style" and the speech tendencies of their family members.

Troops must keep their original intentions in mind and not use their minds indiscriminately, otherwise military law will be ruthless!

After saying these words, all the officers below were frightened. What was Mr. Shi insinuating?
  Even if their Korean-American wives said some good things about Jin Xiyue, no one would take it to heart?

A concubine is a concubine, who would treat her like a real wife?

But Mr. Shi specifically pointed out that the problem must be serious.

You must teach those women well when you go back. Never talk about Mr. Shi's family affairs casually, let alone get involved in the affairs of the royal family.

The district chiefs of each major district are wondering, who are the small group of bad elements inside?
  Their eyes sparkled, and everyone looked like a bad guy.

……

At the end of the meeting, Shi Jintang informed everyone that the "August 1st Student Uniform" will be promoted uniformly in schools under the jurisdiction of major districts and Zidi Primary School in Anhai Town in the near future.

……

Shortly after the meeting, Shi Jintang left Southwest Africa and went to Paris.

Jin Xiyue still stayed in Anhai Town, secretly feeling sad.

Because the turmoil this time was strange, the cause was Hanbok.

Therefore, later historians named this incident: "Hanbok Storm."

Jin Xiyue, who was at the center of the turmoil, was confused throughout the whole process and had no idea why she suffered this unreasonable disaster.

It was many months before she saw dear Papa Shi again.

Jin Xiyue was hit, and the happiest person was naturally Ye Rong and her small group.

Ye Rong was also secretly proud. She didn't expect that woman to lose power so quickly, and she didn't even exert much force.

But the abominable Mr. Shi left here without even saying hello to her. She really wanted to grow up quickly.

When you grow up, you can follow him everywhere.
