"How do I look?"

Caroline looked at herself in the mirror, and satisfactorily adjusted her flying saucer-shaped brim. There was only one champagne-colored rose on the plain dark hat, which stood out because of its simplicity. The woman's confident face and elegant figure.

"It's beautiful." Francis came up from behind her and hugged his wife from behind.

Today is Caroline's interview with "People of the Times". This interview with her and Isabella is expected to appear on the headlines of the publication two months later, which is the tenth anniversary of the "C&M" company. Version.

At that time, for a long time after the engagement, Caroline's life was still dominated by work.

After the contract of Best Store ended, Caroline became the partner of Best Store as promised.

She continued to serve as the general manager of Youyou Store for several years, but she also assigned more daily work to several assistant managers she selected.

In this way, she has more time to spend on the C&M company jointly run by Isabella.

Most of the initial development of C&M relied on the platform of Meisi, and many customers initially regarded it as a studio of Meisi department store.

But Isabella, the chief designer, and Caroline, the operator, didn't care too much about it.Both of them understand that the advantages and disadvantages of a clothing company established by relying on large department stores always exist at the same time.

In those days, they were excited by the first time their clothes appeared in Vogue magazine, they were delighted by the opening of C&M store in New York, they were also excited by the design style, and whether they wanted to develop branch brands for different customer groups And I have argued, and I have been angry because the product design has been imitated by other manufacturers...

Although Ms. Green also holds shares (most of them were repurchased by Caroline and Isabella in accordance with the agreement in the later stage), she always puts Caroline and Isabella first in all decisions related to C&M, and rarely to intervene.

In ten years, with the hard work of Caroline and Isabella, C&M has grown from a small clothing company backed by Meisi to a company that covers clothing accessories, shoes, jewelry, perfumes and other commodities. Kind of business empire.

The names of Caroline and Isabella have also changed from obscurity to an indispensable presence in the fashion industry today.

"Are you nervous?" Francis opened the door for his wife.

"What's there to be nervous about? It's not the first interview." Caroline winked at her lover.Then he walked to the reception room where the reporters were waiting.

The young Nina is the first female column interviewer of "People of the Times" after its publication, and she once had some communication with Caroline.

So after the two met, the tedious etiquette of meeting for the first time was saved.

"Ms. Caroline, it's not easy to make an appointment with you now," Nina joked to Caroline familiarly.

"Others can say that, but you can't. As soon as I heard about your interview plan, I made time ahead of time," Caroline said with her lips curled up.

"It's my honor," said Nina, who had been looking forward to this interview for a long time.

"Let's cut to the chase, then. I might want to say upfront, though, that today's interview questions are not up to me alone."

Caroline raised her eyebrows slightly, said hello, and nodded to the recorder behind Nina.

"As we all know, you have always had a high sensitivity to fashion trends. After you published articles on clothing matching in newspapers in the early days, they are still very popular until now. After the establishment of C&M, you have also issued your own fashion manual several times. .

Does this mean that you or C&M will have a development plan for fashion publications in the future? "

"Do not rule out this possibility, C&M will never set limits for itself",

Caroline tilted her head slightly, and continued to answer,

"Also, I once heard a saying that the person who really masters fashion will create fashion, isn't it?"

"I think in the eyes of many people, today's C&M company is already the creator of fashion and fashion."

"But I believe we can do better."

Nina lowered her head and took notes for a while before continuing to ask.

"Now you are also often involved in the product design of C&M Company, and the clothes you designed were included in the annual list of "Beauty" magazine last year. So do you have a plan to switch from management to design field?"

"I still prefer to do what I'm good at. Maybe I still have some good ideas on the matching and selection of popular elements, but when it comes to design," Caroline stroked the hair hanging from her temples, "I'm very proud of myself. The ability is still understood."

"C&M's design department has always been headed by my collaborator Isabella, who is the most outstanding designer I have ever seen. My 'design works' are often indispensable to her assistance.

In addition, we have recently invited two very good designers from France and Italy to join the company. I believe that you will have the opportunity to see the new design style products launched by C&M soon. "

"Speaking of Ms. Isabella Corey, the friendship between the two of you is fascinating, and the tacit understanding in cooperation is even more enviable to many people. What is your usual way of getting along?"

The answer to this question required little conceptual language for Caroline.

"We've been friends for years, valued partners, sisters, family. Outside of work, we really don't seem to have any friction.

But it is impossible to say that we have never had conflicts at work.But our personalities and abilities complement each other, and we never take problems out of the office.

More, you can wait until the interview with Isabella later to hear her answer. "

Nina couldn't help laughing at Caroline's last words, but the next question brought her serious expression back.

"Many people have praised your management and advertising capabilities, and businessmen who have worked with you once said that your 'brain is full of new ideas'.

But as far as you know, you were born into a family where no one worked in business.So are you getting guidance and help from your husband? "

Caroline pursed her lips, this was not the first time she encountered this problem.

"I know why people think that once a woman is married, her success always seems to be tied to her husband.

But obviously, this is not a conclusive conclusion.

Just like the little achievement I have achieved, I didn't get it after I got married.

Francis did give me a lot of support, but this kind of support is more in life and spirit.Because we have always encouraged each other.

If you want to talk about my guide at work, it should be my former boss and current partner, Ms. Eve Green.I learned a lot from her. "

"So you think the family can also be a support for women's work?"

"It does for me."

"But most people don't think so." Nina looked at Caroline and grabbed the pen in her hand.

"So I said, it's just for me. Also, people's minds change."

……

"One last question, Ms. Caroline."

"You once said that your dream is to lead C&M to the world one day. So you have come this far to pursue your dream?"

"For this dream?"

Caroline showed a charming smile to the reporter,

"Actually, at the beginning, I was just an ordinary girl who wanted to feed and clothe herself."

"But yes, dreams, let me go further."

——End of full text——

The author has something to say:

Caroline's story came to an end for now.

It was originally designed with an open ending, and it ended about ten chapters ago. It didn't feel right, so it continued for another paragraph.

The ending is still not satisfactory.But the writing power is limited, and I can't change it to a better feeling for the time being.

Perhaps one day, this story will be told better.

(In the future, Caroline may also be arranged to play a supporting role in other stories, telling her later experiences)
