Compared to Nan Zhi, Bai Xiaolian was only a relative, while Nan Zhi was her own daughter. Bai Yarou was not stupid; on the contrary, she had her own set of ideas.
Nan Zhi wanted to help Bai Xiaolian, "Cousin, if you need any help, just tell me."
Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaolian smiled and shook her head, "No need, no need. I'm doing very well at my job now, and I'm very satisfied. Zhizhi, after a while, I'll be able to find a suitable place to live."
Rent in the capital is very expensive, and Bai Xiaolian has no money to afford it. She can only wait until she receives her salary for the next month before she can move out.
"Cousin, my place is quite big, so you can stay here for now, there's no rush."
Bai Xiaolian glanced around. During this time, she had come to understand Nanzhi's life, and she had to admit that this kind of life was something she had never dared to imagine before.
Nan Zhi showed her the true life of the rich. Such a big villa, with many empty rooms. But Bai Xiaolian knew that none of these belonged to her. If she wanted such a life, she had to pay the price.
"No, I'm already troubling you all by living here. I will work hard and one day I will be able to live such a life with my own hands."
As she said these words, Bai Xiaolian's eyes shone brightly.
Nanzhi couldn't help but smile, nodding and firmly believing:
"I believe in you, cousin. That day will definitely come."
Hearing this, Bai Xiaolian was moved. As long as someone believed in her, she had the motivation to continue.
There was no problem with Nanzhi, but Shen Xingmian had some objections.
The reason is that Bai Xiaolian always looks at him timidly, making it seem as if Shen Xingmian is bullying her. Because of this, she and Nan Zhi occasionally have unpleasant arguments.
During this period, both Nan Zhi and Shen Xingmian were quite busy. Nan Zhi was first introduced to the association's staff by the association's president, Lu Chao. At Nan Zhi's request to keep everything simple, Nan Zhi was formally introduced to everyone by the association's president, Lu Chao, in the presence of the association's staff.
"This is the successor I have chosen. In the future, she will become the new president of our Beijing Fashion Design Association."
Lu Chao's wrinkled face was all smiles. Standing beside him was Nan Zhi, dressed in a red dress, standing upright on the stage.
His expression was calm, without the slightest hint of fear.
"President, there has never been a case where a woman has taken over the position."
"Yes, Chairman Lu, besides, she's so young, it's hard for her to be competent for this position."
"President, please think it over. We have many excellent candidates here. Why can't we consider internal personnel?"
........
Many elderly people were talking about this, while the young people kept their heads down and remained silent, clearly not very happy about it either.
The vice president looked at the president with a troubled expression. They had actually guessed this situation long ago. Although Nan Zhi was the first place winner in a world-class competition, some of the association's senior members had long been eyeing the president.
Those people are too old to serve as presidents, but they find their grandchildren or sons to take the position.
It's as clear as day that he's plotting something; everyone knows it.
When Lu Chao first chose Nan Zhi, it was partly because of her abilities, but more importantly because of her demeanor. Lu Chao had a feeling that Nan Zhi was capable of taking on this position.
These people, relying on their seniority, wanted to obstruct things and gain some benefits.
He glanced at Nanzhi with slight concern. If she couldn't handle these people, she would encounter a lot of trouble even after she officially took office.
Suddenly, Lu Chao paused, then smiled. That's right, how could Nan Zhi possibly suffer a loss? Since she was the one he had his eye on, she must have something special about her.
Chairman Lu was temporarily worried.
But the crowd below remained relentless.
"President Lu, under your leadership, we have nothing to say. But if you want to run for a new president, I think you should at least consult with us. Wouldn't it be better if everyone voted?"
"That's right. We're all veterans in the association, so how could we not want to see it get better and better? It's just that this young lady is young and impetuous, so it's inevitable that she won't handle many things properly."
........
Despite the questions raised by these people, Nan Zhi remained unmoved, glancing indifferently at the few who were arguing the loudest.
He then crossed his arms, a faint smile on his lips, and spoke his first words.
"Since I dared to take on the position of president, I have made full preparations. Your doubts about me are simply because I am too young."
At this point, Nanzhi paused for a moment, then solemnly said:
"Here's what I'll do: I will train a group of outstanding players who can go abroad and go global in the shortest possible time. If I can't do it within three years, I will voluntarily resign from my position as president."
As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell silent. Everyone looked at each other, speechless for a moment, shocked. Everyone present understood what it meant to go global.
That's a designer recognized worldwide, someone you can be proud to show off anywhere.
Today, only Nam Gyi is remembered and deeply impressed by the world because he broke the previous rules and became the first recipient of the Grand Prize.
"Hiss, what does she mean by that?"
"Don't you understand? What she means is to make Chinese fashion design occupy a certain position in the world."
"That's... quite a bold statement. It's not that easy."
While everyone was incredulous, Chairman Lu only paused for a moment before his face lit up with joy and trust.
He was the first to raise his hand and applaud for Namgyal.
Then, the others were also encouraged and applauded for Nam Gyi.
No one present, including Chairman Lu, dared to say such a thing, because it was an extremely difficult thing to do.
Nan Zhi had just come up with this idea. Since she had become the president, she would definitely do it seriously and would not just be a hands-off manager for the sake of leisure.
Otherwise, how could these people be convinced?
"Are you telling the truth?"
Nanzhi nodded and said to the man:
"I think you can afford to wait three years."
Those who were in a difficult position were immediately embarrassed. It must be said that Nan Zhi was courageous. At the very least, she dared to say these words and make a promise to everyone.
Naturally, everyone here is shrewd and won't continue to make things difficult or mock them.
And so, Nanzhi shared her new idea.
She first glanced at Chairman Lu and asked:
"I have a suggestion, but I don't know if I can say it."
Lu Chao smiled broadly, looking just like Maitreya Buddha, and said with a kind expression:
"You're the president now, so just say whatever suggestions you have. There's no need to ask me."
When Nan Zhi made that promise, Lu Chao was completely relieved. Since Nan Zhi was willing to take charge of the association, it was a pleasant surprise.
Nanzhi nodded slightly, then turned to everyone and said:
“A world-class design competition is held every four years. Let’s not talk about that competition for now. But every year, at different times, there are some competitions of all sizes. So, I have an idea. What do you all think?”
