Republic of China Designer [Transmigration Book]

Tan Min nodded with a golden face and admitted.

Gu Que looked at the blueprint, showing surprise: "Tan Min, do you think this blueprint is okay?"

Tan Min was silent.

Gu Que: "What are the nine styles of suits?"

This is a very basic question, but Tan Min has made trouble for it.

Seeing that Tan Min couldn't answer, Gu Que casually called a guy from the design department.

The clerk replied without hesitation: "The nine postures of suits refer to rib posture, fat posture, nest posture, slanted posture, concave posture, warped posture, left posture, round posture, and curved posture."

Gu Que asked Tan Min again: "Do you still remember the sixteen-character formula for making clothes?"

Tan Min still couldn't answer.

This time, the clerk answered directly: "I know that the sixteen-character formula is flat, obedient, smooth, straight, round, tall, straight, full, thin, loose, even, soft, lively, light, nest, and slanted."

This is a formula that everyone in Yimingfang must memorize. As the design director, Tan Min knows nothing about it, so it is hard to convince the public.

Gu Que pointed to Tan Min's design drawing: "The suit you designed has too much shoulders, which is suitable for tall and straight northern men. Most of Yimingfang's customers are southerners with thin bodies. The warping of the suit has never been too big, this is the first problem. The second problem..."

Gu Que pointed out several problems in the design drawing one after another. Tan Min felt the "attention ceremony" from all directions, and wished to find a seam in the ground and bury himself in it.

It's too shameful, a design director was picked on for his business ability in public.

Tan Min felt that he had to say something, otherwise it would be difficult to gain a foothold in Yimingfang in the future.

He looked at Gu Que aggrievedly: "When I was studying abroad, my husband didn't teach me these things... I entered Yimingfang that day, and no one taught me..."

Gu Que: "Nobody taught you that doesn't mean you don't need to learn, just because you joined the job without passing the assessment, you should ask your colleagues for advice."

After Gu Que finished speaking, everyone looked at Tan Min with even more disdain.

All the employees present had undergone selection and assessment, and when they learned that Tan Min had failed the assessment, discussions arose for a while.

When the public opinion fermented to a certain extent, Gu Que coughed: "Tan Min, I will give you three days, if you can't come up with a satisfactory design after three days, this new product will use the works of four official designers instead. "

Gu Que made such a decision, but the official designers were not satisfied.

In the past, when Xia Jinting was around, they admired Xia Jinting's talent, so they worked under his command peacefully.Tan Min was different. He was not capable enough, but he still occupied the position of design director, just like a stinky stone occupying a latrine.

Rather than an opportunity to design a new product, the formal designers want to replace Tan Min as the design director.

Therefore, when Tan Min asked them for advice with the design drawing, no one paid any attention to the "designated director".

--------------

Unlike Tan Min who was in dire straits, Xia Jinting's little life was very pleasant.

After resigning, his life is free, and he has enough time to prepare for the opening of the studio.

The location of the studio is in a prosperous area. The main body is a two-story western-style building with fresh and elegant interior decoration.

The floor is made of smooth tiles, high-grade wooden racks for clothes are hung on the walls, red soft carpets are laid on the steps leading to the second floor, and delicate carvings are carved on the railings.

A European-style chandelier on the ceiling illuminates the room warmly.

After the studio was completed, Xia Jinting invited Ah Cheng and his wife to visit in the name of friends. The three who hadn't seen each other for a long time had a good talk at the tea shop.

Ah Cheng: "After you left, Tan Min became more and more unpopular. The things he designed were not good, and the people under him refused to accept him. Now the four official designers are almost on an equal footing with him, and no one will let anyone else."

Xia Jinting drank his tea calmly. He didn't expect Tan Min to overturn so quickly. In the final analysis, he was still not strong enough to take on the big job.

Ah Cheng has become more and more mature, especially after getting married, his whole temperament has become calmer.

Peng Xiuhua's complexion also improved visible to the naked eye, her face rounded, and she smiled more.

She still had a gentle temperament, when Xia Jinting was talking to Ah Cheng, she sat aside and listened silently.

Unexpectedly, such a demure, but still provoke gossip.

A female student passed by Peng Xiuhua's side, and suddenly said: "Country women, uneducated."

Hearing this, Ah Cheng said angrily, "Who are you talking about!"

The female student raised her chin, pointed at Peng Xiuhua and said, "I'm talking about her! Who told her not to corset her breasts!"

As soon as Xia Jinting heard the word "constricting the chest", Xia Jinting immediately understood the crux of the matter.

When Xia Jinting first came to this world, he discovered that, unlike women in later generations with plump breasts, women in this period were all beautiful with flat breasts.

Especially in girls' schools, corsets are prevalent, and female students wear a kind of vest that tightly constricts their breasts.

Corsets are regarded as a symbol of civilized women. If the twin peaks are towering, they are considered to be country girls and wild women with no education.

But in fact, corseting is extremely harmful to women's bodies. Long-term corseting can easily compress the lungs and cause lung diseases, which is not conducive to women's health.

A few days ago, "Haicheng Daily" published an article discussing the issue of women's corsets. The author passionately pointed out the various hazards of women's corsets, which sparked a debate in the society.

The corseting school and the bosom free school resolutely opposed each other, and even developed into what it is now—female students with corseted breasts criticizing women without corseted breasts in the street.

Many women with "big breasts and natural breasts" couldn't bear the humiliation, and put on small vests one after another, wrapping their breasts tightly.

Peng Xiuhua didn't corset her breasts, and her proud twin peaks were very eye-catching, so she became the target of attacks from passing female students.

Seeing Peng Xiuhua being humiliated, Ah Cheng got angry and blocked the female student's way: "Apologize!"

The female student looked arrogant: "I don't!"

Ah Cheng clenched his fists in anger, but was stopped by Xia Jinting.

Xia Jinting: "We're just sitting here drinking tea and chatting, but you came here for no reason and pointed at people and scolded them, who is the barbarian?"

Female student: "She doesn't wear a corset!"

Xia Jinting: "Whether to wear or not is her freedom, what are you doing?!"

Female student: "You..."

She was speechless by Xia Jinting's upright attitude, and seeing the guests in the tea shop looking at her like monkeys, she was ashamed to stay any longer.

After the female student left, Xia Jinting looked at Peng Xiuhua who had been silent all this time.

Ah Cheng comforted: "Don't pay attention to that crazy woman!"

Peng Xiuhua's eyes drooped slightly: "Actually, she's right. Nowadays, women tend to corset their breasts, so I should too..."

"Absolutely not!" Xia Jinting hastily dissuaded, "Bird constriction does not conform to scientific laws, long-term constriction will cause endless harm."

After Peng Xiuhua heard this, although he didn't mention it anymore, his expression was always weary, and he didn't have much energy to mention it.

This incident reminded Xia Jinting, what kind of works did he want to design when he set up a studio?Can his ideas work in this era?

Xia Jinting has observed that the dresses sold in women's clothing stores in Haicheng nowadays have a clear distinction between Chinese and Western.

Chinese-style shops are mainly tailor shops and silk and satin shops.

Western-style shops are mostly opened by foreigners, mainly selling Western-style dresses and skirts, and the main customers are foreign women in Haicheng.

In this era, Chinese women tend to dress traditionally and conservatively, and feel inconceivable that foreign women often show their chest and neck skin.

Especially nowadays, the trend of corseting is becoming more and more popular, and the "breast opening theory" has been denounced as heresy.

Among the women in Haicheng, many suffer from cough and asthma, all of which stem from corsets.

Xia Jinting thought for a long time, and made a decision in his heart.

The studio's first creation is a strappy bandeau dress.

The design of the sleeveless tube top is extremely bold and avant-garde, completely abandoning the corseted vest.

The design of the exposed jade arms and legs is even more staggering.

After Xia Jinting put the tube top skirt on display in the window of the studio, passers-by pointed and pointed.

Xia Jinting ignored everyone's comments and calmly issued a notice for model recruitment.

The notice was issued for a long time, but no one came to apply for it.

Xia Jinting's design has already caused an uproar before it was put into production.

The corset group, headed by the teachers and students of the women's school, wrote articles in newspapers every day, criticizing Xia Jinting's design and denouncing the tube top skirt for spreading "obscenity and obscenity".

Xia Jinting was calm about this, he had already anticipated the controversy after the dress came out, and ignored everything else, just waiting patiently for his model.

What Xia Jinting didn't expect was that the first person to apply was an acquaintance.

Wearing a plain cheongsam with a phoenix collar, Qin Yuan came to the door calmly amidst the discussions.

"I'm willing to be your model." Qin Yuan said.

She has always been on the cutting edge of fashion, wearing cheongsam, western high heels, and silk scarves...

Huanchang women are called "humeizi" all the year round, but they still greet the guests with a smile on their arms and red lips.

For this reason, Qin Yuan has already cultivated a thick skin like an iron wall.

After leaving Chen Shengquan, she had to find a way out by herself, and went to that advertising company to find a job as a month's girl.

She has a beautiful appearance and is not stage-frightened when facing the camera. She is very suitable for this job. After some hard work, she has now taken the top spot of the month brand girl and is very popular in Haicheng.

A few days ago, she learned that Xia Jinting had designed an avant-garde dress, and she fell in love with it after just one glance.

The X-shaped strapless tube top dress is dotted with exquisite lace and embroidery, which made Qin Yuan's heart flutter.

So she came here specially today to apply for a model.

When Qin Yuan saw the samples, he was fully prepared and still felt his eyes brighten.

The skirt is lavender, with butterfly patterns embroidered on the skirt, and the effect on the upper body is amazing.

Qin Yuan has a slender waist and long legs, snow-white skin, slightly curly light brown long hair softly covering his shoulders, elegant yet lively.

On the first day the publicity photo was released, public opinion exploded.

Qin Yuan was wearing a bandeau tube top dress, revealing a snow-white chest, with a confident and flamboyant smile on his face.

The visual impact of the promotional photos is huge. Customers have come to order tube top skirts one after another. The owner of the month card company even took a group of photos for Qin Yuan wearing a tube top skirt.

At the same time, Xia Jinting was also attacked by public opinion.

On this day, Xia Jinting was on vacation at home, and Sun Jiawang came to the door with a letter.

"Your lover is amazing, you can poke a hole in the sky!" Sun Jiawang said to Gu Que.

He took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Xia Jinting: "Look, luckily the manuscript was submitted to me and I suppressed it, otherwise it would have been published in the newspaper by now."

Xia Jinting unfolded the letter, and it turned out that it was a veritable "Letter of Crusade".

The writer's words were extreme, pointing out that Xia Jinting, as a designer, designed works that are "kitsch" and "disregarding shame".

After reading the letter, Xia Jinting didn't blush or breathe, and didn't get angry at all.

Sun Jiawang: "What should I do? Make up your mind."

Xia Jinting: "What to do, what to do!"

Sun Jiawang: "If this article is published in the newspaper, your reputation will be ruined."

Xia Jinting said with a smile: "No, how can it be so serious, if others can write articles, so can I; if others can babble, can I be dumb?"

Xia Jinting has already anticipated the current situation. The long-standing concept of society cannot be changed overnight, but Xia Jinting is willing to work hard for it.

Sun Jiawang turned to look at Gu Que: "You just let him mess around?"

Gu Que put his arms around Xia Jinting's shoulders openly: "I support him with all my strength."

Sun Jiawang had nothing to say.

After he left, Xia Jinting raised his eyes and stared at Gu Que.

Gu Que: "What's wrong?"

Xia Jinting: "You really don't mind? Like Sun Jiawang said, I made a big mess."

Gu Que: "I really don't mind. Women's corsets are indeed harmful to health. What's wrong with you?"

Gu Que spoke sincerely, but Xia Jinting always felt that something was wrong.

Thinking about it carefully, Gu Que's ideas seem to be more avant-garde than most of his contemporaries.

Especially this kind of change of customs, even for people like Sun Jiawang who have drunk foreign ink, it is difficult to accept it for a while. How did Gu Que accept it calmly?
