"Huh? Enough! Enough! Thank you, Mr. Lu. We will definitely do our best to improve the plan."
The planning director snapped out of his daze, wiped the sweat from his brow, and nodded in agreement.
Because of Lu Shen's good mood, the entire meeting went very smoothly.
Lu Shen placed Jian Ruoxi's photo on his desk.
Looking at her beautiful face, he smiled warmly again.
The secretary entered the room and, seeing this scene, hurriedly ran out with her head down, completely infatuated.
Oh my god! Young Master Lu actually smiled, and he looks so handsome when he smiles!
Jian Ruoxi also strolled around the newly opened shop.
She poured a lot of effort into this shop.
She collected rare and wonderful items from all over the world, and she personally selected each and every one of them.
She picked up a vintage bracelet and gently placed it in her palm to examine it closely.
"Isn't it beautiful? I designed this one."
Yu Qi leaned against the display case with a smug look on his face, grinning with pride.
"Thank you. Without your design, this shop wouldn't have opened so smoothly."
She thanked him sincerely, expressing her immense gratitude to Yu Qi.
“Lu Shen and I have been buddies for many years, and I’ve never seen him so interested in any girl. This guy has finally made a good choice this time. I really don’t like that Li Anran.”
Yu Qi's nonchalant attitude made Jian Ruoxi laugh out loud.
Was he Lu Shen's good friend? Was Lu Shen still secretly helping him?
Thinking of this, Jian Ruoxi felt a warmth in her heart.
"You know Li Anran?"
She looked at the roguish boy in front of her with curiosity.
"I've met him a few times. Lu Shen introduced him to us twice. He was very aloof and we didn't get along at all."
He waved his hand dismissively, unwilling to mention Li Anran any further.
"It's been a long time since anyone has appreciated my designs so quietly. I'm in a good mood today, so I'll show you my designs."
Yu Qi spoke enthusiastically about his design philosophy.
The light in his eyes when he talks about design is captivating.
When he talked about work, he put away his unruly attitude and became more solemn.
She admires people who are fully committed to their work and often discusses various design details with him.
After a discussion, Yu Qi was as excited as if he had discovered a rough gem.
Although Jian Ruoxi had not studied design systematically, her suggestions always gave him a fresh perspective.
What was originally intended as a simple act of helping out has now turned into a feeling of admiration for talent.
"Let me register my name with you. I can put any designs I come up with here for sale. Come and discuss them with me whenever you have time, and we can work together to develop those concepts."
Yu Qi casually decided to stay, which delighted Jian Ruoxi.
After all, good ideas and designs are the pillars that keep streetwear stores going.
Yu Qi's decision to stay has delighted the designers of the streetwear brand. With a renowned designer in the industry willing to stay, their progress under his influence will be enormous.
"You don't have what I need here?!"
A roar echoed through the quiet hall, drawing the attention of many.
A plump, wealthy woman was angrily banging on the counter.
"I'm really sorry, we don't have the bag you're looking for in our store. How about you take a look at our other products? Let me introduce them to you."
The saleswoman smiled obsequiously and bowed in apology.
The good service did not calm the lady down; instead, it made her even more irritable.
"I don't find many of these junk items appealing. Your shop isn't anything special either, supposedly run by a celebrity. Tsk tsk, what a poor and shabby place."
Just as Jian Ruoxi was about to step forward to resolve the situation, Yu Qi stopped her.
"Watch out, I'm a heartthrob for young women."
Yu Qi tossed his hair triumphantly and walked forward gracefully.
"Hey! Isn't this Sister Li? Why are you so angry? Go away, all of you, go downstairs. Sister Li definitely won't like this kind of bag. I just designed a few bags, each one a unique piece, and I've reserved them just for you. Let me take you to see them."
Yu Qi walked up to the wealthy woman familiarly, patted her on the shoulder, led her to the VIP room, and personally handed her several expensive handbags.
"Look at this, there aren't many people who can match the style of my bags except you. You know, I haven't designed anything myself in a long time. I finally managed to design a few, so if you don't take a few, it won't be enough to take care of your little brother."
Yu Qi draped one arm over the display case and picked out several accessories while leaning down.
The lady couldn't stop smiling.
"Xiao Yu, you're in this store. Oh, no need to try them on, your designs are absolutely the best, I'll take them all. I'll also take all the accessories you paired with them. If you have any good designs, be sure to ask them to reserve them for me first."
Upon hearing this, Yu Qi called over the shop assistant who had just been criticized.
"This is Sister Li. If I have any new designs, give Sister Li a call first. She has the best taste. I don't usually sell to her because not everyone is worthy of my designs. Sister Li is different. From now on, she'll give you a 20% discount on everything when she comes. Put it on my tab."
After such flattery, the lady could no longer lose her temper.
"No need for a discount, you know I'm not short of money. I just don't like having the same things as everyone else, you know? If I take your bag back this time, they'll be so envious of me. Okay, I didn't mean to make things difficult for that young lady. I'll just patronize her business more often next time I come."
The wealthy woman held the several bags she had just bought with obvious delight, paid for them, and left with a satisfied expression.
"I admire you, I admire you."
Jian Ruoxi cupped her hands in a fist salute.
"Your store needs to set up a few VIP rooms and stock some unique items. These wealthy ladies may not have very high taste, but they must have expensive, rare, and one-of-a-kind items. What they want when they shop is an experience, to satisfy their sense of prestige."
Yu Qi offered his suggestions, pointing out the shortcomings of Jian Ruoxi's shop.
That same day, Jian Ruoxi summoned the renovation team and requested the addition of several VIP zones. She also wanted the display cases to be categorized into different tiers.
After a busy day, Jian Ruoxi felt sore all over.
"It turns out that opening a shop is not as easy as I thought."
She treated the team to dinner, and everyone sat together excitedly to share the day's achievements.
"You've been too pampered and haven't experienced the harsh realities of society."
Yu Qi smiled and shook his head.
He started working in his teens and gradually made a name for himself in the design industry thanks to his talent.
He doesn't have the arrogance of those designers; he has worked his way up in various circles to achieve his current status.
He meticulously recorded the names and interests of everyone in the Beijing social circle who had purchased his designs, and could recall the names of all those he had met.
