Su Xiaotian was always a planner. She went through the things she needed to do for the rest of her vacation, making a schedule.
She wasn't someone who lacked plans.
In fact, Su Xiaotian was very good at utilizing her time, which was why everything she did had been so well done over the years.
When Li Jianhong and the others saw the detailed time schedule Su Xiaotian had made, even specifying the hours from point A to point B, the three girls were shocked.
"Xiaotian, can you really stick to this?" Qi Xiaofang asked.
She couldn't see how it was possible. If it were her, even if she made such a schedule, she definitely wouldn't be able to follow it.
"Since the schedule is made, of course, it must be strictly followed, unless there are uncontrollable reasons, such as unexpected situations."
Su Xiaotian explained with a smile.
Li Jianhong nodded, "Xiaotian is right. We should follow the pre-arranged plan, so we won't be disorganized."
She strongly approved of Su Xiaotian's approach, believing that it would motivate herself and make her the most disciplined person.
Su Xiaotian agreed wholeheartedly. When she had free time, she would look at the schedules of the other girls.
The schedules of the three girls were similar, as they basically went in and out together, and their life rhythms were almost identical.
Su Xiaotian smiled and said, "Your arrangements are very good. Besides work hours, the remaining hours are meticulously organized."
Qian Xiaobei said with a smile, "As long as we persist for a while, I believe we will get better and better."
"That's right, disciplined people are always the ones who achieve success most easily." Su Xiaotian naturally hoped that those around her would be excellent, and the more excellent, the better.
In the future, classmates and friends would all become connections.
So far, the schedules the three girls had made were only for the holiday. They had broken down all their time outside of working at Yiming Pavilion into detailed plans.
Every morning, they would first exercise, then engage in English reading, followed by breakfast and work.
After finishing work in the evening, in addition to household chores, they had reasonably arranged time for reading and making hair accessories.
While making hair accessories, one of the three girls would read English, and the other two would listen, rotating among themselves.
This way, time could be utilized most effectively, and it wouldn't delay their money-making endeavors.
"I always felt like I didn't have enough time before. After making this plan, I realized there's still a lot of time," Qi Xiaofang said with a smile.
Not having enough time was because a lot of time was wasted. Now, by following this schedule, they could learn and earn money at the same time.
"There's a good saying: time is like water in a sponge; squeeze it, and there will always be some," Li Jianhong said, sitting on the kang and nimbly cutting the scraps of cloth in her hand.
"When school starts, we'll make a new schedule according to the new timetable and utilize all our time." Qian Xiaobei said confidently, "We also want to get the three of them involved."
Su Xiaotian had to praise them; these were all people with ideas.
Their ability to generalize was also very good.
If these ideas were applied to making money, they might have a brighter future.
But they were a bit timid and didn't dare to go big.
Never mind, they probably couldn't change their ingrained thinking in a short time.
Let them proceed with their own ideas first. After a while, when they started making money, perhaps they would have different ideas.
In fact, things turned out as Su Xiaotian had expected. The girls' innovation and self-discipline were sufficient.
In just a few days, in addition to the styles Su Xiaotian had taught them initially, the girls had come up with many beautiful new styles through generalization.
They even thought of three-dimensional styles that were very popular in later generations.
Regarding this, Su Xiaotian only glanced at them occasionally. Besides taking time to teach the three girls English every day, she spent most of her remaining time on her own matters.
Su Xiaotian was currently handling the translation work for three factories. Coincidentally, during the New Year, all three factories had foreign businessmen coming to discuss business.
Coupled with Su Xiaotian's own food processing plant, which also required her attention, her busyness was imaginable.
Even her face, which had looked quite plump before, gradually became thinner.
Grandma Su felt heartbroken and kept saying how the weight she had finally gained was gone.
But Su Xiaotian herself was very willing. She worked with great enthusiasm. Even when she returned home at night, exhausted to the point of collapsing, she never complained of hardship or fatigue.
Although she didn't complain, Su Xiaotian clearly felt that what she lacked was talent.
The laws of this era were not perfect, and many people's legal awareness was weak. Therefore, many enterprises still chose a family-style operating model.
However, Su Xiaotian chose to hire external employees, including those in charge.
For the two factories, the food processing plants in Licheng and Beijing were managed by external personnel.
In Licheng, as long as Chen Zi'an was there, Su Xiaotian firmly believed that no one would dare to cause trouble.
However, in Beijing, Su Xiaotian was not entirely at ease, so she visited the food factory from time to time.
As far as she could see, the people at the food factory had no ulterior motives, and Su Xiaotian believed she could still trust them.
But Su Laoda and Wang Xianghua clearly felt that entrusting such important matters to outsiders was unreliable.
Especially since Su Xiaotian only visited once every half a month or a month, and most matters were handed over to outsiders. What if that person had other intentions?
As the factories developed better and better, Su Laoda and his wife's worries grew.
Both felt that if they didn't worry more, the factories could disappear at any time.
"Xiaotian, you have to keep an eye on things. Although you've hired people to manage, they're not your own people after all," Wang Xianghua said earnestly.
Su Xiaotian smiled and agreed. She knew that this was how people of the older generation thought.
But there were only a few people in the family, her brothers had their own careers, and her elders were all very busy. They simply couldn't manage everything. What could be done?
She was still a student and had to worry about many things. It was definitely not realistic for her to come over every day.
"I'll come over on weekends from now on to check the accounts and such," Su Xiaotian could only appease the two.
"That's right. You should come over often to check, lest someone develops ulterior motives," Su Laoda also earnestly advised his niece.
This little girl, perhaps she was too well protected by her family, why did she think everyone in the world was good?
If they themselves didn't know they were incompetent, they would have helped Su Xiaotian long ago.
It had to be said that these two had a clear understanding of themselves.
Managing the breeding farm was certainly not a problem, as it only involved dealing with animals, which was very simple. Making sure the pigs and chickens were well-fed and didn't get sick was considered completing the task.
However, managing the processing plant was beyond their capabilities.
