Ye Qing was certainly not naive, but she didn't quite understand what Liu Wei was trying to say either. So, without hiding her confusion, she blinked and asked Liu Wei, "What do you mean?"
The words Liu Wei just spoke to Ye Qing were taught to her by Ye Shuang. Deep down, she was a little unsure of herself when she said them, because in her repeated confrontations with Ye Qing, Liu Wei was always the one who couldn't gain the upper hand.
Unexpectedly, Ye Qing didn't understand her meaning, which suddenly gave Liu Wei a sense of arrogance. She raised her head slightly and sneered, "Heh."
Ye Qing wasn't too angry about Liu Wei's obviously smug look, but he didn't press her for more details. He waited for Liu Wei to continue. In Ye Qing's opinion, since Liu Wei had started talking, she certainly wouldn't let go of such an opportunity to "humiliate" him.
Liu Wei certainly didn't let this opportunity pass. She said, "Since you don't know, I'll reluctantly tell you."
Ye Qing, you're not the kind of person who would risk your own future just to scheme against me, are you? You showed me your drafts for the Taizi Fashion competition, which you didn't have time to submit, to tempt me into submitting my work before the deadline. What about yours? You must have submitted it a long time ago, right?
"What would you do if, and I mean if, your work was selected by Attitude Fashion?"
Ye Qing scoffed: "If Zitai Fashion takes a liking to my work, I should be happy."
"Glad, you should be glad if you don't know fashion master David. But do you know what David is doing back in China this time? He's going to compete with Zz1tai Fashion. He's planning to build a design studio in China. If you're chosen by Zz1tai Fashion, it means you'll be competing with Master David. In that case, what's the point of knowing David? Do you hope to sow discord between David and Ye Shuang? David and Ye Shuang are blood relatives!"
"That's it?" Ye Qing wasn't feigning disappointment; he was genuinely disappointed.
She had thought Liu Wei would have something to say, but that was all she got.
With class about to start, Ye Qing really didn't want to waste any more time with Liu Wei, so she grabbed her books and left in a hurry.
"Sigh..." Liu Wei watched Ye Qing's departing figure, shivering with resentment, and felt even more uneasy.
Although Ye Qing felt that what Liu Wei said was not a big deal and was disappointing, Ye Qing was not without any thoughts.
Today's class was a basic lesson, covering the history of clothing evolution, etc. Ye Qing didn't pay attention and her mind wandered a bit.
If what Liu Wei said is true, and David's return is indeed to compete with the current leading company, Zitai Fashion, then Ye Qing, who originally didn't have much hope that Zitai Fashion would select her work, is now starting to have some ideas.
She especially wanted to be selected so she could compete against David.
But thinking about it is one thing, it all depends on the attitude of the fashion industry, so there's no point in thinking about it too much now.
However, perhaps because Ye Qing had suffered too much before, Heaven wanted to make it up to her in this life after her rebirth.
After class, Ye Qing was called away by the teacher. People from Zitai Fashion came to find Ye Qing, saying they were very interested in her work.
Ye Qing was incredibly excited, even a little incredulous. With the thought that it wouldn't matter if the other party didn't like her work in the end, she went to the department office with her teacher.
Upon meeting the people from Zitai Fashion and hearing their first words after the initial greeting, Ye Qing knew his opportunity had arrived.
She clenched her fist, determined to seize this opportunity.
"Tell us about your design concept. Although we at Taizi Fashion are a clothing factory, we mainly focus on women's wear. We have made men's wear before, but your design still seems a bit unconventional to us."
Faced with this question, Ye Qing remained calm and composed: "I designed couple outfits to test the market reaction first. If the market reaction is good, then why can't your Zitai Fashion also make menswear in the future? The big international brands that are well-known, those brands that are considered luxury brands abroad, all make both menswear and womenswear. There's no reason for Zitai Fashion to give up the menswear market. Of course, that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that you're a bit more eager now."
"How so?"
"David, also a designer, is quite famous. I heard he's going back to China to open a design studio and is also planning to build a factory. Apparently, although he positions himself in the high-end market abroad, this time he's coming back to compete in the mid-range market with you, and he makes both menswear and womenswear..."
As Ye Qing finished speaking, the school teacher, who had been coughing, glanced at them. Ye Qing didn't continue; she understood what the school meant—the school and David's company also had a cooperative relationship.
It was obvious that the fashion company was aware of the school's predicament, so they didn't ask Ye Qing any more questions and left with her. The school couldn't stop them.
In fact, Ye Qing had said almost everything she needed to say. She didn't say much more after leaving the department office, and she could tell that although the other party was interested in her ideas, she was still a little hesitant. In order to get the other party to make up their minds, Ye Qing said, "I am still a student, and many of my ideas may be a little naive. However, if you choose my work, it won't be a big loss for you. You just need to make a sample set and show it at your fashion show after the Spring Festival."
"You're right, this is indeed a competition. For you, if we select you, you'll get a prize. But for us, we have to consider many things, like mass production. If it sells well after mass production, that's great, but what if it sells poorly and doesn't even cover the costs?"
"Find someone to advertise it, and produce in limited quantities," Ye Qing said, revealing his final idea.
The person from Taizi Fashion was taken aback, but then their eyes lit up: "Your idea is very forward-thinking. Limited editions are something that some big brands do."
"It's actually just a sales tactic." Ye Qing didn't stop at her major. In her spare time, besides drawing design drafts, she would also read books on various topics in the library, including business management and sales.
"Who should we hire for the ads? Ordinary models?"
When Ye Qing heard this question, she didn't express her own thoughts, but simply said, "This is something you guys are considering, but I think we should at least have someone that everyone knows."
"Who do you think you should choose? Among the well-known figures around us, who do you think can best bring out the essence of your designs when wearing them?"
Ye Qing didn't answer, letting the people from Zitai Fashion consider it. She only spoke about things she was certain of, and wouldn't blindly answer about things she wasn't sure about.
