Days passed by, and soon the time for the new company's opening arrived. After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, the new company was officially established, and as time went by, it gradually got on track.

Xu Xinchen was holed up in her own office, buried in drawing design drafts, her pen dancing across the paper as she thought.

Before long, a necklace design prototype appeared on the paper. Xu Xinchen held up the design draft and examined it carefully against the light, her brow furrowing slightly.

It's not enough. This design is still not good enough. Although it looks gorgeous at first glance, it becomes aesthetically tiring after a while. This style is too common. Even in this era, it cannot be called an excellent design.

Feeling that the design draft didn't suit her taste, Xu Xinchen didn't hesitate any longer and simply tore it up and threw it into the trash can.

Just as the design draft was being thrown into the trash can, there was a knock on the office door. Xu Xinchen looked up at the person standing outside and smiled, "Aunt Fang, come in."

Aunt Fang pushed open the door, a smile on her face, and glanced at the trash can that had just received a design draft: "What's wrong? Still haven't decided on a theme for the next quarter?"

Xu Xinchen nodded silently. The door to her office was not the kind of wooden door that companies often use nowadays, but a glass door.

What she did in the office was obvious to anyone outside, so Aunt Fang knew.

It's quite normal for her to lose the design draft.

Pulling her mind away from the design draft, Xu Xinchen scratched her hair in frustration and said to Aunt Fang with a pained expression, "Aunt Fang, I find this so difficult. It's really hard to come up with a theme for this season."

Aunt Fang walked slowly toward Xu Xinchen with a smile on her face, patted Xu Xinchen's shoulder, and said in a very gentle tone, "You don't need to be so nervous. There's still plenty of time. You can think about it slowly."

Xu Xinchen shook her head dejectedly and, for the first time, mentioned her plan to Aunt Fang: "Aunt Fang, I want to take this design draft to participate in an international design competition."

Aunt Fang's smile vanished instantly, and a look of understanding crossed her eyes as she stared at Xu Xinchen. So that's how it is. No wonder Xu Xinchen seemed so irritable lately, if he wanted to participate in international competitions.

We definitely need to come up with a design draft as soon as possible. The competition is in a month, and if we don't come up with one soon, we might miss the deadline.

As Aunt Fang patted Xu Xinchen's shoulder to comfort her, the restlessness in her heart finally subsided a bit. She raised her head and stared again at the blank sheet of paper, her eyes filled with disappointment.

"Aunt Fang, do you think I'm particularly stupid? Why is it that I haven't been able to draw a design even though it's just a simple sketch, even after spending so much time on it?"

Aunt Fang's calm expression was instantly shattered, and she burst into laughter. She reached out and tapped Xu Xinchen's forehead with her finger: "Look at what you've been thinking about all day long! If you can be called stupid, then are there any smart people left in the world?"

Xu Xinchen was extremely frustrated: "If I'm not stupid, why did it take so long to draw a single design draft?"

between? "

There's only one month left until the overseas competition, and we don't even have a single sketch yet. If this drags on any longer, it will be really difficult to participate.

Even if a design is hastily created, it certainly won't meet the standards for the competition, and it might be eliminated in the preliminary rounds.

Aunt Fang listened to Xu Xinchen express her worries and helplessly reached out to rub Xu Xinchen's hair: "You're putting too much pressure on yourself. Although great pressure can motivate people, it can also easily disrupt one's mind, causing you to do things twice as hard and half as hard."

Xu Xinchen could understand this principle, but she couldn't help but worry that she wouldn't make it to the competition, or that her drawing wouldn't be good enough and she would be eliminated in the preliminary rounds.

Aunt Fang was young once too. When she first entered the design industry, she was in almost the same situation as Xu Xinchen now. When she encountered larger competitions or presentations, she would get so nervous that her hands would shake. This is something that you have to go through and gradually overcome through experience.

After thinking it over and over, Aunt Fang couldn't think of a way to help Xu Xinchen resolve her current situation, so she could only sigh helplessly and change the subject.

"How about this: you take two days off to go out and have some fun, relax and unwind, and then focus all your attention back on work when you come back. Releasing your stress during these two days might help you feel better."

Xu Xinchen was in no mood for playing around. She was eager to finish drawing the design drafts and then make revisions. She didn't even have the slightest thought of going out to play.

When Aunt Fang saw that Xu Xinchen didn't respond, she understood what Xu Xinchen was thinking. She could only shake her head helplessly and pat Xu Xinchen's shoulder: "Alright, I won't force you if you don't want to go out. Just stay here and think it over."

Xu Xinchen nodded slightly, then picked up her pen and drew an arc on the clean white paper. Aunt Fang looked at Xu Xinchen's seemingly obsessed expression, shook her head secretly, turned around and left the office, heading directly towards Chen Ningsheng's company, which wasn't far away.

Chen Ningsheng was in his office sorting out things that needed to be considered for the new company when he heard his assistant say that Aunt Fang was coming. He thought something had happened to the new company, so he immediately stood up and rushed outside.

When Aunt Fang saw Chen Ningsheng's nervous appearance, she figured out what he was worried about and chuckled, saying with great emotion, "You two are really exactly the same."

Chen Ningsheng was a little puzzled. Looking at Aunt Fang's appearance, it didn't seem like there was anything going on at the new company. Moreover, listening to what Aunt Fang was saying, it seemed that she had come here for Xu Xinchen? Chen Ningsheng asked her whatever he was thinking.
