"Principal Xiao, the thing is, I make custom clothes. Here are my design drawings. The clothes I design are quite popular in City A. I came here today to ask if your school's students and faculty have any idea of having custom clothes uniformly made for them?"
Xiao Zifeng took the clothing design drawings handed to him by Zhang Yaoyao. Without saying anything, he took a careful look at the drawings in his hand. He had to admit that the designs Zhang Yaoyao gave him looked very novel and comfortable.
After reading all the design drawings, Xiao Zifeng had a rough idea in his mind. He looked at Zhang Yaoyao without the same contempt as before and said seriously.
"Zhang Yaoyao, you're a fashion designer, right? I have to admit, the clothing designs you gave me, the plans, and the styles are all quite suitable for our school. Not only the designs for student clothing, but also the designs for faculty and staff clothing give people a very rigorous and dedicated feeling."
Having said that, Xiao Zifeng raised his head, and Zhang Yaoyao took advantage of this opportunity to quickly make way.
"Principal Xiao, do you have any ideas for my clothing designs? Or do you want me to design the uniforms for your school's faculty, staff, and students?"
Xiao Zifeng raised his hand, waved it to signal Zhang Yaoyao to calm down, and continued.
"Regarding the issue of having students wear uniforms, our school hasn't implemented it yet, and neither have the staff's uniforms. I've had this idea before, and your coming today gives me the opportunity to unify the students' uniforms with the staff's uniforms. But I can't decide this alone. How about this, Zhang Yaoyao, you leave me your address, and we'll have a staff meeting this afternoon. I'll ask for everyone's opinions at the meeting, and if everyone agrees, I'll contact you later. Is that okay with you?"
At this point, Zhang Yaoyao roughly understood what Xiao Zifeng meant. He wanted to ask other teachers for their opinions at the meeting, which was also natural.
As a school principal, you cannot act arbitrarily in anything, let alone make decisions on behalf of others. You must hold a meeting to decide whether to unify the school uniforms of students and faculty and staff.
Zhang Yaoyao immediately nodded to show her understanding, took out a notebook from her pocket, quickly wrote down the location and house number of the New Vision Clothing Store on Fushou Street, handed it to Xiao Zifeng, and suggested.
"Principal Xiao, how about this? I'll leave you my address and wait for your good news. I actually have an idea. I wonder if you'd like to try it?"
Since the principal agreed to give it a try at the meeting, Zhang Yaoyao had a bold idea. Instead of letting Xiao Zifeng bring up this matter at the meeting, it would be better to let her stay and attend the meeting.
At the meeting, she briefly talked about the design concept and importance of student uniforms, the design concept of school teachers' uniforms, and the rigor of the uniformity of faculty and staff uniforms.
Xiao Zifeng took the address written by Zhang Yaoyao, and after hearing what Zhang Yaoyao said, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, subconsciously looked at Zhang Yaoyao, and said meaningfully.
"Oh, you have an idea. What's your idea? Tell me about it."
He had always been a very open-minded principal. Since someone had come to him for custom clothing, and he also had the idea of having uniforms for all teachers and students in the school, he was willing to listen to Zhang Yaoyao's ideas.
Yaoyao was still sitting there elegantly, looking straight at him, her eyes filled with determination and persistence that Xiao Zifeng couldn't understand, and she said directly.
"If Principal Xiao wants to decide whether to unify the uniforms for all teachers and students in the school through the meeting later, then I would like to stay and tell you about my views on the concept and necessity of your school's development of clothing design for staff and students, as well as its rigor."
She wants everyone to understand the meaning and essence of the clothes she designs. However, if someone else tells her, they may just mention it briefly, and no one can understand the meaning and effort a designer has put into this dress.
Therefore, Zhang Yaoyao wanted to stay and personally explain the clothing concept she designed and the importance of clothing unity.
Xiao Zifeng hadn't expected Zhang Yaoyao to make such a decision. The look in his eyes suddenly changed, several shades darker than before. The man's gaze was deep, looking at the girl across from him through thick lenses. He was shocked to find that besides being beautiful, this girl exuded a sense of confidence, especially her clear, bright eyes, which were filled with a kind of persistence that made people look up to her.
For a moment, Xiao Zifeng was suddenly moved by Zhang Yaoyao's professionalism and perseverance, and nodded subconsciously.
"Okay, Zhang Yaoyao, let's have a meeting at three o'clock this afternoon. As long as you have the patience, I'll give you the opportunity to present your design concept and convince the entire school staff."
Zhang Yaoyao didn't expect Xiao Zifeng to be so easy to talk to and agreed to her request to attend the meeting. A hint of joy flashed across her face. She stood up and thanked him sincerely.
"Thank you, Principal Xiao, for giving me this opportunity to attend the conference and to showcase my fashion design ideas!"
Xiao Zifeng stood up, looked at Zhang Yaoyao with admiration in his eyes, and waved his hand.
"Don't thank me, Zhang Yaoyao. I should thank you. I saw in you the perseverance and pursuit of an entrepreneur. I'm giving you this opportunity to showcase your design concept. I hope you can seize it firmly."
He'd given the opportunity, so whether or not she could succeed depended on Zhang Yaoyao. Since the uniforms for all teachers and students in the school were to be standardized, it didn't matter which supplier they chose. He hoped that Zhang Yaoyao's clothing design concept would make all the teachers and students in the school feel that wearing the uniforms was a sense of belonging and honor.
In response to him, Zhang Yaoyao had a firm expression with a clenched fist and a voice that sounded like a vow, sonorous and powerful.
"Thank you, Principal Xiao. I will definitely work hard!"
Xiao Zifeng raised his eyebrows and curled the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Okay, then I'll wait and see!"
In the following time, Zhang Yaoyao did not delay and did not return to the New Vision store. Instead, she found a remote place in the A City Central School and began to perfect her design draft and write her speech.
Everyone’s life is a gamble. As long as you can seize every opportunity to move forward, you will be the king.
At three o'clock in the afternoon of that day, the reception hall of City A Central School was crowded with people. More than one hundred faculty and staff members of the school gathered together to prepare for the regular staff meeting held once every semester.
After everyone was in place, Zhang Yaoyao also entered the venue and sat down in the inconspicuous corner arranged for her by Principal Xiao, waiting for the opportunity.
