Everyone turned to look, wondering if there was a recent overabundance of cars.

Normally, you wouldn't see a single car drive by for several years, but this year you can see several all at once.

The man strode closer and asked, "Who is Yang Bai?"

Yang Bai had just finished dealing with Huang Juan when he heard someone call his name. He threw his tattered cheongsam into the trash can and immediately ran over.

"I am Yang Bai, hello."

He recognized the man in front of him; Yang Bai suddenly remembered that he was the man he had seen at the dock yesterday.

He seems to be Chen Sanqiang's secretary.

The bespectacled man spoke.

"I am Ma Ming, the secretary to Commissioner Chen Sanqiang. Our commissioner has asked Comrade Su Wanqiu to order a suit to receive the friendly delegation from the South African Union."

The villagers around were terrified when they heard this.

The commissioner's secretary is a favorite of the commissioner.

The commissioner even asked Su Wanqiu to make a suit specifically to receive foreign friends—this was an incredibly important matter.

Doesn't assigning the task to Su Wanqiu prove that she is highly capable?

The villagers who received the clothes made by Su Wanqiu were extremely excited.

An old lady exclaimed in surprise.

"Doesn't this mean that our clothes, just like the commissioner's, were made by Su Wanqiu? That's so prestigious!"

The others nodded in agreement, and the villagers who hadn't yet received the clothes made by Su Wanqiu were incredibly envious.

The onlookers outside the courtyard started making noise again.

Su Wanqiu's pupils brightened slightly, her heart filled with disbelief and surprise. She lowered her voice and asked softly:

"Yang Bai, did you do this?"

Yang Bai shook his head and smiled.

"I don't have that much influence. I'm just making a recommendation. It's your skills that are so good that the commissioner specifically asked you to do it."

Su Wanqiu felt a warmth in her heart, and a gentle smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.

She knew perfectly well that if it weren't for Yang Bai's help, she wouldn't have had any orders at all, except for making suits for Yang Bai.

Without Yang Bai, she would never have had the opportunity to make clothes for the commissioner.

"Hmm, do you have the right size and fabric?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Ming immediately took out a file folder and solemnly handed it to Su Wanqiu.

"These are the specific sewing requirements. The specialist requires it to be sewn entirely by hand and completed within a month."

This is the deposit; I'll pick up the fabric from the car later.

As he spoke, he took out two yuan and handed it over.

Su Wanqiu nodded and said, "I will definitely be able to complete the mission."

Ma Ming turned around and strode to the jeep, taking down a thick roll of black cloth.

Su Wanqiu reached out and gently stroked the fabric; her fingertips felt its delicate and firm texture, an excellent quality.

This is 100-count pure wool fabric, which is even more upscale than the 80-count fabric of Yang Bai's suit.

Such high-quality fabric is extremely rare in the county town, and it sells out instantly whenever it's on the counter, which shows how much the salesperson values ​​this garment.

She looked at the ample amount of fabric. Although there was plenty of material, such precious material had to be used sparingly, and not a single bit could be wasted.

"Thank you for making this trip, Secretary Ma," Su Wanqiu said politely.

Ma Ming waved his hand humbly, "It's alright. Does Comrade Su Wanqiu have no other questions?"

Su Wanqiu gently shook her head: "There are no problems. If there are any unclear points later, I will have Yang Bai come to the district compound to find you."

"Okay." Ma Ming looked at Yang Bai and earnestly instructed, "Comrade Yang Bai, I'm usually in the Secretariat. If I'm temporarily unavailable, please wait a moment. I have another question: why are so many people gathered at the entrance?"

He had just arrived when he saw a group of people crowded at the doorway, as if something had happened.

Yang Bai shook his head and pointed to Huang Juan on the ground, saying, "It's nothing. Someone came to cause trouble, doubting Wanqiu's cooking skills."

"Oh? There's such a novel thing?"

Ma Ming turned his head and looked at her as if she were a fool.

Anyone dares to question the commissioner's judgment and even slander him.

"Should we take him to the police station to resolve this?"

Yang Bai waved his hand, "No need, the matter has been resolved, she can never come here to make clothes again."

Ma Ming nodded. Su Wanqiu's skills have now been recognized by the commissioner, and they are a skill that others would beg for. Missing this opportunity is Huang Juan's own fault.

"Okay, I'm leaving."

He turned around, got into the jeep, started the engine, and slowly drove away from the village entrance.

Huang Juan watched the jeep drive away and was filled with deep regret. She knew she would never be able to hold her head high in the village again.

From then on, we could only ask someone in the commune to make our clothes.

Their skills are not up to Su Wanqiu's level.

She looked up at the mocking gazes of those around her, clenched her fists, and hurriedly ran away.

It made them all laugh.

Huang Juan is now asking for trouble.

But they also knew in their hearts that Chen Dahai was not bragging at the time; the commissioner's secretary even came down personally to ask Su Wanqiu to make clothes.

The news quickly spread throughout the surrounding villages.

The threshold of Yang Bai's house was almost worn down by people walking on it.

Yang Bai turned down wave after wave of people, mainly because he needed to focus on the specialist's orders as soon as he finished the orders he had on hand, and he couldn't afford to waste a moment.

The clothes used to entertain foreigners represent the prestige of their region.

Yang Bai's mouth was dry from shouting, so he sat down and drank a bowl of water.

"Late Autumn, it's really hard to refuse these people. I've chased at least thirty or forty people away this afternoon."

Su Wanqiu smiled as she stepped on the pedals, "You've worked hard, Yang Bai. The news of making clothes for the commissioner has both advantages and disadvantages. Once the clothes are finished, there won't be so many problems."

"The main problem is what happens when I'm not here? Who will kick people out? No, I need the Party Secretary to send two people over to keep watch."

Yang Bai was worried about this. He was going to fish in Shanghai for the next few days, and it wouldn't be good if someone barged in without a care.

"Yang Bai, is this necessary? Don't be so nervous, nothing happened to me at home."

Seeing this, Su Wanqiu gently shook her head, soothingly speaking with a calm expression.

Yang Bai stood up. "It's necessary."

He immediately rushed to the Party Secretary's office.

"Secretary Ma, could you send two people to guard my front door? This autumn, I took on an order for a specialist to make suits. Firstly, I'm worried that someone might cause trouble, and secondly, I'm also worried that it might delay the progress. Once the suits are finished, everything will be fine."

Ma Hou nodded slightly. He had already heard about the incident and knew that Huang Juan had caused trouble at Yang Bai's house that afternoon.

Making the specialist's suit is a top priority for the village, and it absolutely cannot be ruined by one or two people causing trouble.

"Alright, leave this to me. I'll definitely choose two strong and healthy people."

"This is something that cannot be overlooked."

......

Early in the morning.

When Yang Bai woke up, he saw two burly men at the door. They were people he knew, with clean backgrounds and no history of theft.

Ma Hou is quite efficient in getting things done.

"Were you sent by Secretary Ma to guard us?"

The burly man with the square face on the right nodded.

"Yes, we will stand here today and not let any outsiders in. We will absolutely not disturb Comrade Su Wanqiu as she makes clothes."
