President of Custom

The "Corner" Film Festival arrived as scheduled.

The few days before the opening ceremony were sunny, and He Yurong cooperated all the way, trying on the blue cheongsam without any major problems.But Cheng Jin still didn't dare to breathe.

"No problem." Song Fengshi kept comforting Cheng Jin, "Your design is very beautiful."

Cheng Jin forced a smile and said, "I can only give myself 80 points this time."

Song Fengshi smiled: "You are really strict with yourself!"

On the day of the opening ceremony, it was the end of days of bright sunshine. The weather was cloudy, but there was no rain.The opening ceremony was still held normally.

However, Cheng Jin showed anxiety on his face: "The conditions of natural light have changed so much, I don't know what the color of this dress is on the media picture?"

"Even if the color light is not correct and the lighting is different, the blue will still be blue." Owen persuaded, "And, your skirt is so beautiful, even if it turns red, yellow, or green, it will still be so beautiful."

"No," Cheng Jin shook his head, "If you change it, you will lose points."

At this time, Jin Lanshu also spoke: "It's okay, we can make a photo."

"You can post it to the domestic media." Cheng Jin said, "But what about the foreign media's evaluation? Also, the Best Dressed selection on the red carpet can't be counted based on the dresses we posted, right?"

Jin Lanshu said, "Even if we can't get BESTDRESSED, our dress is pretty enough, and there have been so many disturbances before, it will definitely attract a lot of attention."

Cheng Jin's eyes widened: "Are you only concerned about eyeballs?"

Jin Lanshu said: "I am the chief executive officer, of course I am most concerned about efficiency."

Cheng Jin closed his mouth and said no more.

They didn't go to the scene, but sat in the VIP room and watched the live TV. He Yurong appeared in the camera wearing a cheongsam, her posture was quite elegant, but the color did not show the effect Cheng Jin wanted, but in everyone's opinion, a little The deviation is also harmless.

Because of the cooperation storm that swept across the Internet before, the media didn't even ask about the movie, but instead asked why she and "Yun Xiang" could continue to cooperate.

Although she doesn't like "Yun Xiang" and hates Jin Lanshu, she still responds with a smile on her face in the camera: "Well, my cooperation with 'Yun Xiang' is very pleasant. The previous things were all misunderstandings, and now we are both very good friend."

Also appearing on the red carpet was another Chinese actress, Fu Yao, wearing Zhou Yiyi's "Neon Dress" custom-made dress.This dress obviously committed a common problem shared by many "Chinese style" dresses - that is, the problem of "Chinese style" being too hard.She was dressed in a grand red dress with golden totems embroidered on it, grand and vulgar, as if she was ready to go to a temple fair to offer incense at any time, or to be printed on New Year pictures.

Cheng Jin was still very unconfident at first, but when he saw the work of "Neon Clothes", he immediately felt relieved: it all depends on the mercy of his opponents!

Even if you can't get BESTDRESSED, at least you can get some face in China.Many netizens who watched the live broadcast commented: If He Yurong in a blue and white embroidered dress is suitable for representing classical beauty, then Fu Yao in red arowana is suitable for representing vegetable oil!

But at this time, the supermodel Feifei appeared wearing a pure black dress, the whole body was as black as a crow's feather, the skirt was blown in the wind, revealing the inner lining full of gold and jade embroidery, and a pair of thin feet wearing red soles, Sexy and charming, the priceless and gorgeous embroidery is hidden in the black gauze, which is inadvertently raised in the breeze, like the warmth of the window, and the first spring, revealing a kind of effortless and leisurely charm, which is never Deliberately revealing luxury and sexiness.

Cheng Jin was stunned, and said for a while, "This must be 'Shangyuanchun'."

If there's one thing that makes Lewis better suited to this line of work than anyone else, it's that he never compromises.

Cheng Jin said: "If it was Lewis, he would definitely not settle for the second best because of cost and time."

Jin Lanshu was furious when he heard the word "Lewis", "That's because he is rich!"

Cheng Jin was a little dazed, questioning and confused: "Are you short of money?"

Jin Lanshu smiled coldly, turned and left.

Friends, the meeting road is narrow.

Jin Lanshu left the VIP room, went to the terrace, and met Lewis.

Wearing a steel gray suit, Lewis looked more like a businessman than an artist.

Jin Lan smiled subtly: "What a coincidence?"

"Well," Lewis smiled, "I saw your dresses, very good, very good."

Jin Lanshu said, "Your ones are not bad either."

Lewis replied with a smile: "Better than yours."

Jin Lanshu didn't expect Lewis to be so choking when he spoke.However, Jin Lan was not to be outdone: "Oh? Let's see each other. I think ours is better."

"It's fine," Lewis said, "but there's something wrong with the undertone. A shade lighter."

Jin Lanshu was stunned.The color that is one degree lighter is the color that Cheng Jin strives for.

Jin Lanshu was bored for a while, then suddenly asked: "If it's a degree shallower, will it cost hundreds of thousands more?"

"Huh?" Lewis was a little surprised, "Is it only a few hundred thousand?"

Jin Lanshu was also surprised: "You...I don't even know if you have bad ears or bad arithmetic. Hundreds of thousands, not dozens of mosquitoes!"

Lewis laughed and said, "If you're going to do this, you really can't save that little money."

Indeed, Jin Lanshu did not treat money as money when doing business, and he himself taught Song Fengshi to treat money as a number.However, numbers are counted.Jin Lanshu calculated the risks and benefits, and also considered the issues of time and construction period. On the whole, it is a more sensible choice to "make do" than "exquisite".

"If you don't save money, neither will I." Jin Lanshu said, "Is it okay to talk about benefits and efficiency?"

"No." Lewis shook his head. "I never talk about that."

Jin Lanshu smiled: "This is also the reason why your 'Shangyuanchun' has been operating for five years and is still losing money."

"That's why I've been operating 'Shangyuanchun' for five years." Lewis replied with a smile.

Jin Lan smiled disdainfully: "The reason why you have been in business for five years is not because your surname is Liu?"

"I know, you think I'm lying when I said that I welcome new brands to the market and hope your brand can do well." Lewis changed the subject, but said, "But I really mean it. If you want to continue Do it, listen to me, marketing is very important, but if you want to do it for a long time, design is the core.”

"Speak lightly!" Jin Lanshu sneered, "Who doesn't know that mother is a woman?"

How to balance business and art is a difficult problem for any brand to consider.

Shang Yuanchun didn't think about it, it must be his unique advantage in Lewis.

Jin Lanshu doesn't have this advantage.

Soon, an authoritative magazine announced BESTDRESSED, and the black gauze inner show skirt of "Shangyuanchun" was selected without any suspense.But He Yurong's splendid cheongsam was rejected.

They also flew back to China to handle follow-up publicity matters.

Cao Datou didn't care about this: "Actually, it's impossible for a new brand to get BESTDRESSED for the first time! Our young brand's ability to be listed on 'Korang' has already been cultivated in our previous life."

Cheng Jin didn't say a word.

Jin Lanshu didn't take another look at Cheng Jin, but only asked Cao Datou, "Then what's your plan?"

"Then just think about PLANB, and publish an article to praise He Yurong's 'Yunxiang Clothes and Flower Xiangrong'." Cao Datou worked out the "unselected plan" early in the morning, so he was naturally prepared.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you." Jin Lanshu nodded and said.

In China, there is also a lot of publicity that "Shangyuanchun" skirts have won BESTDRESSED, but this does not hinder the promotion of the "Yunxiang" brand.

Cao Datou is familiar with Internet marketing, and soon promoted the new brand "Yunxiang" to a new level.Thanks to the two-pronged efforts of the "Korrah" Film Festival and actress He Yurong, the brand has finally gained popularity.Song Fengshi also personally does public relations, and cooperates with some celebrities to let them wear "Yunxiang" clothing for publicity and promotion, which is bound to promote this brand as a "star product".

Although "Shangyuanchun" got the BESTDRESSED, the brand that quickly became popular was "Yunxiang".Through big data analysis, Cao Datou found that many potential customers like the blue silk and silver-white hydrangea embroidery elements of He Yurong's clothes, while the most popular items in the clothing retail industry recently are trench coats and dresses.

"So, we can take advantage of the momentum to launch light blue silk trench coats and dresses, embellished with the core elements of silver and white hydrangea embroidery." Cao Datou said in the report, "The data will not lie."

Jin Lanshu nodded in agreement, and after letting Cao Datou leave, he asked someone to call Cheng Jin into the office.

When Cheng Jin arrived at the office, his face was still listless.

Jin Lanshu has always ignored the small emotions of the employees, so he took out Cao Datou's plan and handed it to Cheng Jin: "You are responsible for designing the 'light blue silk' and 'silver white hydrangea embroidery'. Trench coats and dresses."

Jin Lanshu's condescending tone became the last straw that broke the camel's back—Cheng Jin finally expressed his dissatisfaction on his face: "I can't do it."

"What?" Jin Lanshu suspected that he heard it wrong, "All the core elements are entrusted to you, but you still can't do it? Aren't you not as hot as Huang Laojiao?"

Cheng Jin gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, I may really be inferior to him in this respect!"

"What do you mean?" Jin Lanshu's impression of Cheng Jin was always a compromise, and he seldom spoke out like this.Although Jin Lanshu noticed that Cheng Jin had always been preoccupied since "Corner", he didn't take it too seriously.After all, in his opinion, this dress is a commercial success, even if it doesn't get BESTDRESSED, it can't be regarded as a "lost defeat", why is it so frustrated?

Cheng Jin finally expressed the frustration accumulated in his heart: "I may not be suitable for this position."

"What?" Jin Lanshu was taken aback, "Are you telling the truth, or playing your temper?"

Cheng Jin smiled wryly, and said, "I've always regretted that I didn't stick to my embroidered cheongsam at first, and then I didn't stick to the color of silk..."

"I asked you to change it." Jin Lanshu said, "I made the decision."

"Yes, this is the biggest problem!" Cheng Jin said bitterly.

Jin Lan was puzzled, but sneered: "So you blame me for making a wrong decision? So you can't get BESTDRESSED?"

"No, that's not what I meant." Cheng Jin said, "If I want to blame, I blame myself for not insisting on myself."

Jin Lanshu waved her hand and said, "Okay, there's no need to talk about it, the past is over..."

"I can't pass!" Cheng Jin was extremely disappointed, "Perhaps someone like Lewis is more suitable..."

The word "Lewis" really hurt Jin Lan like a needle.

Jin Lanshu couldn't hear these three words at first, but now she is even more irritable: "You like Lewis so much, why did you come to 'Yun Xiang'? Isn't it because Lewis doesn't like you? If it weren't for me, you would still be a tailor! Still want to do design?"

To Cheng Jin, these words were also a heart-piercing poison - this has always been Jin Lanshu's talking style.If someone's speech pierced Jin Lanshu's heart—whether it was intentional or unintentional, Jin Lanshu must repay it twice, and Jin Lanshu will not give up until the other party's heart is full of swords.

Cheng Jin's psychological endurance is quite weak. Hearing this, his lips trembled: "If you ask me to make gauze skirts, I will be gauze skirts, and I will be sewing windbreakers. Is it not the same as asking me to be a tailor? Where is the design? When I get here, I still work as a tailor!"

As he said that, Cheng Jin almost burst into tears.

Seeing a grown man about to cry, Jin Lanshu couldn't feel any sympathy.What's more, now Jin Lanshu is still angry.He smiled coldly and said, "Yes, maybe you are suitable for tailoring."

You're only fit to be a tailor--

Cheng Jin had heard this sentence many times.

It was said before when I was in Shangyuanchun, and it was also said when I came to Yunxiang.

But no one said it as harshly as what Jin Lanshu said.

Because, it was Jin Lanshu who personally sent him to do the design.

It was Jin Lanshu who personally gave him hope and made him feel that he could do design...

Cheng Jin couldn't hold back his tears, so he burst down the embankment: "Okay... Then I... I will resign."

"I, Jin Lanshu, will not keep anyone back." Jin Lanshu replied coldly.

Cheng Jin covered his face and walked out of the CEO's office. Owen and others didn't dare to ask what happened when they saw it.Cheng Jin told Owen, "I want to resign."

Owen was shocked, thought for a while, and said, "Well, if you want to resign, you have to go through the process." After speaking, Owen took Cheng Jin to a small reception room and asked him to sit down.After a while, Owen came again with Song Fengshi.

Cheng Jin had mixed feelings when he remembered that it was Song Feng who recommended him.Song Fengshi sat down in the reception room, and said to Cheng Jin: "What's going on? Okay, how do you resign?"

Cheng Jin told Song Fengshi exactly what happened just now.

Song Fengshi frowned, shook his head and sighed.When Cheng Jin finished speaking, Cheng Jin's tears stopped, and it was embarrassing to think of himself as a grown man crying in the office.Song Fengshi comforted him and said, "Do you really want to think clearly about giving up your dream like this?"

"But... but Boss Jin..."

"Boss Jin is an asshole." Song Feng patted Cheng Jin on the shoulder, "Why do you listen to him? He scolded Owen hundreds of times a day, isn't Owen smiling?"

Cheng Jin shook his head: "I can't do what Owen did."

"You don't have to." Song Fengshi thought for a while and said, "Well, don't you still have your annual leave? If you want to resign, you should take all your annual leave first."

"But……"

"No need." Song Fengshi took out a form, "I've printed out the leave form for you, and you just need to sign it. I'm the one who decides to let you take one month's paid leave. When you finish your leave Now, let's talk about resignation."

Cheng Jin is a temperless person, who has always been the kind of person who "remembers eating but not beating".He thought of Song Fengshi who had always been so friendly to him, so naturally he couldn't say a word "no".

Song Fengshi comforted Cheng Jin here, and when he looked up, it was time to get off work.He had to drive his own CEO back to the bungalow.

Cheng Jin's resignation obviously also had an impact on Jin Lanshu's mood.Jin Lanshu was also depressed on the way home.Song Fengshi said while driving the car: "I comforted Cheng Jin and asked him to take paid leave."

"I know, Owen said it." Jin Lanshu didn't know that Cheng Jin's resignation would actually have a great impact on the company.But it was impossible for Jin Lanshu to persuade him to stay, so he pretended to say, "Just give him a leave of absence and let him reflect on it! When he comes back, I can let the past go."

As soon as Song Fengshi heard Jin Lanshu's tone, he understood in his heart—in his heart, Jin Lanshu regretted that his slip of the tongue had hurt Cheng Jin, but Jin Lanshu couldn't admit his mistake, so he could only speak in such an arrogant tone.

Song Fengshi sighed silently.When the two finally returned home, they saw the helper sweeping the tiles on the floor.Song Fengshi asked what was the matter, and the servant replied, "I accidentally broke the vase by the window." Jin Lanshu was in a bad mood at first, but when he saw the vase was broken, he became even more angry: "This is celadon!"

The helper didn't know anything about "celadon", but he knew it was expensive, so he immediately changed his words: "It wasn't me...in fact, it was Ms. Zheng who broke it! She asked me to recognize it!"

Zheng Qiushu sat on the sofa, and when she heard this, she immediately became displeased, and muttered, "I was just careless when I drew the curtains."

Jin Lanshu said, "Accidental? That vase is worth 8 yuan!"

Zheng Qiushu said casually: "[-] to buy a celadon? Are you buying a high imitation?"

Jin Lan smiled angrily: "Are you losing money? Or apologizing?"

Zheng Qiushu suddenly became angry: "Now you are rich, so handsome. I raised you to such an age, and taught you with books. I asked you if you lost money?"

Jin Lanshu didn't want to talk about it, so she turned her head and said, "Forget it, I know that making you admit your mistakes and apologize is simply worse than death."

Zheng Qiushu said: "Nervous, how can a mother apologize to her son?"

Jin Lanshu sneered and left.

At night, Song Fengshi saw Cheng Jin's SNS and saw Cheng Jin write "I am not so sure about myself" on the space.Song Fengshi sighed, and said to Jin Lanshu: "Cheng Jin is a very sensitive and fragile person, your words will hurt him a lot."

Jin Lanshu was also troubled, but said in a nonchalant tone: "Then... I don't think I've heard of his resignation. If he behaves obediently, I will give him a salary increase. I will also let him be the design director. "

Song Feng was startled, and said, "Haven't you considered apologizing to him?"

Jin Lanshu looked away: "Nervous! How can a boss apologize to his subordinates?"

The author has something to say: dozens of mosquitoes = dozens of yuan.
