183. Chapter 183 Design Invitation

Joshua was very satisfied with his trip to Country Z. During the two-week trip, he had a lot of inspiration. When he returned home, his suitcase was filled with a thick stack of design drafts, including clothing and show set design.

Wenxi not only has to deal with studio affairs here, but also has to cooperate with Joshua to modify the clothing designs. She is so busy every day that she is dizzy. The final design was only finalized some time ago.

Joshua spent most of his energy on the show's set. He revised the design again and again, and then asked someone to make a sand table model of the draft that he was most satisfied with.

I don’t know if it was due to misunderstanding, but several designers made this model several times, but none of them satisfied him, so he felt that his own design drafts were a piece of garbage.

When Zerlina came to see him on the weekend, she compared his design draft with the sand table model for a long time and said, "Joshua, I roughly know what you are not satisfied with."

Joshua motioned for her to speak.

Zerlina placed the design draft upright in the gap of the model and said, “These versions of the model are all made according to your design draft, with flowers, birds, fish, insects, plants, trees, pavilions and towers, everything is available.

But they only created the ‘form’ but not the ‘spirit’; the biggest drawback of these models is that they have form but no spirit.”

This is what bothered Joshua. After the model was made, he scolded those people again: "It's fine if you can't come up with the design drawings. I gave you the drawings and asked you to follow them, but you still made a bunch of garbage. You are not signed by Porcelain for free. If you can't do this, hand in your resignation as soon as possible."

He said to Zerlina, "What should I do? I can't pack them all up and send them to Country Z for further studies."

Zerlina joked, "That's easy. Why not invite a designer who was born and raised in Z country? Just invite the one Xi recommended to you, the one called Little Carp."

Joshua frowned: "But he is just a college student who hasn't graduated yet. He has no experience..."

Zerlina's smiling face showed some confusion: "Joshua, dear, what made you start to judge talent by experience?"

She leaned against the table where the sand table model was placed, raised her head slightly, looked into Joshua's blue eyes, and seemed to change the subject: "You know, I encountered a problem when I was translating the ancient notebook you gave me recently.

The information in our library is limited, so I sent emails to some experts for consultation, but received no response, so I contacted Xi and asked for her help.

Xi directly recommended Little Carp to me.

Joshua, my goodness, and this may be a little exaggerated - I think you must have experienced it during the two weeks you spent with him in Country Z - he is like a library.

Regarding landscape architecture, his knowledge in this area is very rich and can really be compared with some experts.”

"Indeed." Joshua had to agree.

Zerlina took the design out of the model and handed it to Joshua, saying, "I remember you said that you wanted to change the show's setting to a Jiangnan garden. The inspiration came from a video of a miniature garden that Xi sent you. And the designer and maker of that miniature garden was Xiaoliyu, right?"

Joshua took the design, stared at it for a few seconds, then crumpled it up and threw it into the trash can.

The next day, Wenxi received an email from Joshua's assistant Garrett, hoping that Wenxi could help ask "Little Carp" if he was willing to come to Country Y to serve as the special designer for Porcelain's spring and summer fashion show.

Wenxi couldn't believe it for a moment, and asked the reason very tactfully when replying the email.

Joshua looked down on the work done by his own designer, but Garrett naturally wouldn't say that. He just expressed his appreciation for Li Yu on behalf of the Boss.

At that time, Wenxi and her team had already submitted their visa applications, so she did not delay for a moment. As soon as Garrett's email came back, she immediately contacted Li Yu.

But Li Yu refused, on the grounds that he was already working part-time as a PC game scene designer for Du Yunkai.

Wenxi called and said, "It's just a part-time job, not a formal contract worker. Do you need to be on call 24 hours a day?"

Li Yu replied slowly: "No need..."

Wenxi asked again: "Does that require you to provide him with design drawings 24 hours a day?"

Li Yu still answered slowly: "No need..."

"Then why are you still hesitating?" Wenxi was puzzled.

Li Yu still spoke slowly and told her about his recent part-time job status. However, he did not think Du Yunkai was nitpicking at all, but rather thought that there was a problem with his ability.

Wenxi did not interrupt and listened quietly to what Li Liyu said.

She was so angry that the more she listened, the angrier she got.

When Li Yu was invited to be Joshua's tour guide, everyone had to spend a lot of time and effort to persuade him to let go of his worries and accept the "challenge".

During those two weeks, Wenxi praised Li Yu whenever he got the chance. He also gained a sense of accomplishment from Joshua's positive feedback, and thus gained a new and correct understanding of himself.

How long had it been? How long had she worked for Du Yunkai? It seemed that her little fish had retreated back into its self-denying tortoise shell.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Wen Xi suppressed his anger and comforted Li Yu with a few words. After hanging up the phone, he immediately called Du Yunkai to ask him why he treated Li Yu like that.

Du Yunkai didn't understand at first and was confused. He was still wondering what kind of evil thing he had done to Li Yu.

After several rounds of conversation, he finally understood, and explained to Wenxi with a helpless smile.

Wenxi tried to hold back but couldn't help cursing, "Bullshit workplace frustration education, is your frustration education necessary? So many people around him worked so hard to build up his self-confidence, and you destroyed it all by doing this, how can you be responsible?"

"Is it that serious?" Du Yunkai didn't believe it. "He is an adult, not a child who knows nothing. Don't be too..."

"You think I'm too self-righteous?"

"No, I haven't."

Wenxi calmed down and asked him, "Does Xiaoyu have a lot of work to do here?"

"It's okay, not too big." Du Yunkai said.

"Then I'll ask for two or three months of leave for him," Wenxi said. "Porcelain has invited him to do the set design for the show."

This is a great opportunity that anyone with a discerning eye would know should not be missed. After hearing this, Du Yunkai couldn't help but start to make fun of him: "Why doesn't he come to me to ask for leave himself, but has to go through you?"

"He rejected me." Wenxi couldn't help getting angry again, "It's all because of you!"

Du Yunkai laughed loudly on the other end of the phone: "You can ask me to release him, but since you are the one coming forward, you have to show some sincerity."
