Chapter 418 Su Fenxi Embroidery
"The fair and selfless Industrial and Commercial Bureau~~~~Haha, thank you President Su for the honor!" Zhou Shi said after reading it.
Because the Supervisory Commission was investigating Lu Aoxiong's case, the content of the meeting held by Su Mei that day had not yet been circulated, and no one knew that Su Mei had resigned.
In the eyes of outsiders, she is still the person who will become the director of the institute in the future, and she is still the candidate for the director of the institute.
The Supervisory Commission requested that the matter be kept confidential because they still needed to dig deeper into the fish behind Lu Aoxiong and could not alert the enemy.
So when she was called Dean Su, Su Mei remained calm. She just smiled and took a sip of the tea in front of her. After she finished drinking, she asked Zhou Shi: "Do you think this business license is OK or not, Director Zhou?"
"Okay, it couldn't be better. Not only have you completed the design, but you have also written the content very clearly. I will call a meeting this afternoon to finalize it, and the finished product will be printed in two days at most.
You leave your materials to me, and come back in two days to get China's first epoch-making individual industry business license." Zhou Shi said, and then he looked at Su Mei Design's business license with satisfaction.
This business license was copied by Su Mei based on the modern business license.
She didn't know what was so good about this thing, but since it was recognized by the government in later generations, there must be a reason for its recognition.
It would definitely take time to finalize this matter, and Su Mei understood that. She was satisfied with the positive response she received this time, so she stood up and prepared to say goodbye and go back.
But before she left, someone knocked on Zhou Shi's office door from outside.
Zhou Shi's secretary said at the door: "Director, a student from the Yenching Academy of Fine Arts is here. She said her teacher introduced her to do the design for our business license."
"Oh!" Zhou Shi nodded. He looked at the business license in his hand and thought it would be good to have more designs to choose from, so he said, "Please come in!"
"Hello, Director Zhou, I'm Liang Shizheng." Before the secretary could answer, a young man with short naturally curly hair walked in.
The young man held a piece of paper in his hand. After he entered the room, he handed the paper directly to Zhou Shi and said, "My teacher is Ms. Sang Yu from the Yenching Academy of Fine Arts. She told me that you have commissioned the school to help design the business license.
Teacher Sang assigned me this task. I worked on it for several days and have finally finished it. I brought it here today to show you guys!"
"Have you finished the design?" Zhou Shi took the paper with a smile, thinking that the art academy was quite efficient.
After getting the design draft, Zhou Shi naturally overlapped Liang Shizheng's design draft on Su Mei's design draft. After seeing the content of the draft clearly, Zhou Shi couldn't help but frowned.
Su Mei also saw Liang Shizheng's manuscript. She didn't mean to peek. It was mainly because she and Zhou Shi were talking on a small coffee table and their seats were not far away, so she could see it at a glance.
This draft by Liang Shizheng is very good as a drawing. He drew the Great Wall as a frame around it and the five-star red flag in the middle.
The Great Wall stretches across the entire painting.
There is blank space on the gate of the Great Wall. His design is to use the blank space of the Great Wall to write the names of individual businesses.
There is a flagpole under the five-star red flag, and on the flagpole it is written - Business License.
As a painting, this draft can be said to be a masterpiece among masterpieces. The Great Wall of China comes alive under Liang Shizheng's pen.
But if this is regarded as a business license, Su Meijian feels that it is a bit too fancy.
Obviously Zhou Shi’s idea was the same as Su Mei’s. After reading the manuscript, Zhou Shi glanced at the design plan written by Su Mei. The design plan said that the design style should be concise and clear, highlighting key information.
This point is very correct, so after thinking about it, Zhou Shi said to Liang Shizheng:
"Your manuscript is well drawn, but the pictures take up too much space and there is too little space for information. It's a bit distracting. The focus of our license is to clearly state the information of the operator."
“I have my own design concept. The Great Wall is not only a symbol of our culture, but also represents the image of our country. The right to individual management is given to the people by the state.
Those who have obtained an individual business license should remember the mountains and rivers of China, remember to promote our culture, and seize this opportunity to promote the development of socialism in China." Liang Shizheng spoke excitedly, as if he was giving a speech on the award podium.
Zhou Shi understood the young man's enthusiasm and nodded: "Of course the concept is very good, but our design cannot only focus on the concept but also on practicality, right?"
"You think it's not practical? Then I'll change it." Liang Shizheng walked in front of Su Mei and said, "Lady, please move aside. I want to sit here."
"Oh, okay." Su Mei touched her nose and stood up. She felt that she had nothing to do here, so she stood up and whispered to Zhou Shi, "Director Zhou, you two can chat! I'll write my message and put it on your desk, and then I'll go back first."
"Okay." Zhou Shi nodded to Su Mei apologetically.
As soon as Su Mei stood up, Liang Shizheng sat down in her seat. Liang Shizheng took out a bunch of pens and said:
"Director Zhou, tell me what the problem is and I'll fix it."
"Otherwise, don't change it!" Zhou Shi thought Su Mei's design was very good, so he could just use hers.
Unexpectedly, he didn't make his words clear, and Liang Shizheng misunderstood him. Liang Shizheng immediately laughed and said, "Really, you don't need to change it? That's great, I think it's good this way too.
Director Zhou, Teacher Sang Yu's design fee this time is 20 yuan. Could you please approve it for me as soon as possible?"
"No..." Zhou Shi was a little embarrassed, "I said there is no need to change it because I don't plan to use your manuscript. I already have a manuscript here that I think is more suitable."
Su Mei had just finished filling in her information and was about to go out.
Hearing the conversation between the two people, Su Mei felt that her manuscript would be handed out in the next moment.
As expected, as soon as she popped her head out of the door, she heard Zhou Shi pulling out some paper. He pulled out Su Mei's manuscript and handed it to Liang Shizheng, saying, "Okay, we plan to use her design, the one that..."
Just as Zhou Shi was about to point at Su Mei, he saw Su Mei quickly running out of the door.
The reason she ran so fast was because Su Mei felt guilty.
She felt guilty that she had deprived others of the opportunity to make money with just a few simple strokes of her pen and the fruits of her labor.
If Su Mei had known that this thing could make others earn twenty dollars, she would definitely not care about this trivial matter.
Although Liang Shizheng's draft is indeed not suitable for business license, the value of his painting is definitely worth twenty dollars.
According to him, that painting took him several days to complete.
If he found out that his fancy painting for so long was not as good as Su Mei's casual stroke, he would be very angry.
It would be better for her to leave quickly to avoid embarrassing the other child.
After going out, Su Mei rode her bike to Wangfujing Street.
The official document came down yesterday, and she came here today specifically to tell Li Shufen the good news.
The yard was quiet and Su Mei could only hear the sound of the sewing machine.
Su Mei didn't shout, but went straight to the room where Li Shufen was making clothes.
This is the room with the best lighting in the yard. Su Mei was afraid that Li Shufen would make clothes every day and the poor lighting would damage her eyes.
There were several pieces of blue material on the sewing machine, and it looked like they were making men's clothes.
The light from the door was blocked, and Li Shufen said, "Are you here?"
She raised her head only after she finished speaking.
When she saw that the person at the door was Su Mei, Li Shufen was surprised and asked naturally, "Oh, Su Mei, why is it you?"
"Who else could it be if not me? Is my sister-in-law waiting for someone?" Su Mei asked as she stepped into the house.
After hearing this question, Li Shufen put down her work, stood up and said, "No, I didn't sleep."
She answered in a panic, and the blush on her face betrayed her emotions.
"Are you waiting for Brother Qiang?" Su Mei subconsciously thought of Zeng Shengqiang. She was the kind of person who would say whatever she thought of, so she asked directly.
Seeing Su Mei asking so directly, Li Shufen looked at Su Mei awkwardly, then nodded calmly: "It's him!"
"Really? You two...are so shy. Is there something going on?" Su Mei asked, not hiding her gossip at all.
Li Shufen rolled her eyes and nodded imperceptibly: "Yes, a little bit!"
"What do you mean by a little? How far has it progressed? Holding hands or kissing?" Su Mei asked. She smiled as she watched Li Shufen's face turn as red as a camellia.
As if she had not expected Su Mei to speak so boldly, Li Shufen quickly stepped forward and covered Su Mei's mouth, then quickly let go. She lowered her head and looked at her feet and said, "Don't talk nonsense!"
"Then tell me what happened in detail?" Su Mei asked.
Seeing that Su Mei was determined to get to the bottom of the matter, Li Shufen thought about it carefully and told Su Mei: "Didn't you ask Jianguo to find out last time and he said that he was really not good in that aspect?
The next day I took the initiative to go to the Public Security Bureau to find him and brought him lunch.
Then the next day he returned the lunch box to me, and also gave me a box of vanishing cream, and a rabbit to Qiuqiu.
After that, he often came over for meals, and sometimes I cooked and sent meals to him.
Since the day we moved in, we’ve seen each other almost every day for the past month.”
After saying this, Li Shufen looked at Su Mei shyly.
Su Mei was listening with an auntie smile on her face when she suddenly noticed that Li Shufen had stopped talking.
"That's it, that's all?" Su Mei put away the smile on her face.
Seeing Su Meidao's smile disappear, Li Shufen was no longer shy. She asked Su Mei anxiously, "What's wrong? Is there something... wrong?"
"No, it's absolutely wrong. Just holding hands, confessing to him, kissing him, pushing him down... Oh, no, you can't push him down. He can't do it either. Why push him down?" Su Mei stopped talking at the end.
She was very confused: "Yes, I told you that he was not good enough and asked you to stay away from him, why did you stick to him instead?"
"It's better not to!" Li Shufen said seriously, "That thing makes me sick to my stomach. I think men's things have a disgusting stench. The thought of doing that with a man makes me sick.
I would think it would be great if I could find a man with whom I don't have to do that kind of thing, but with whom we can just talk, do things together, care about each other, and be considerate of each other's well-being. So I think Zeng Shengqiang is a good fit.
The key is that he has such good conditions. If he were a good person, I would not be worthy of him. Now I am quite satisfied with the situation. "
"Sister Shufen, how can I say hello to you?" Su Mei wanted to understand Li Shufen, but she really couldn't.
If it were Su Mei, she would definitely not be able to accept a man with impaired male function.
In the past, when I didn't have a man, I had to rely on my hands to do everything. Now that I have found a man and he continues to rely on me, then what's the point of having a man?
Su Mei felt that everyone has desires, and women can love themselves and please themselves. She asked Li Shufen, "Don't you feel empty, lonely, and cold? Don't you feel overwhelmed when it's late at night and everyone is asleep?"
"Oh my, you are so shameless. Why do you ask everything?" Li Shufen's cheeks were flushed by Su Mei's bold words. She subconsciously covered her face with her hands.
People at that time were too innocent. Li Shufen felt that the questions Su Mei asked her were the kind that could be pulled out and shot if others heard them.
Seeing that Li Shufen's face was about to bleed, Su Mei temporarily let her go and changed the subject: "Is Brother Qiang coming to see you today?"
"Well, I bought a few pieces of blue cloth and planned to make a set of clothes for Shengxue, Qiangge, and Jianguo, so that they can be warm when winter comes. I asked Qiangge to come over today to measure their sizes." Li Shufen said while pointing at the cloth.
When she entered the room, Su Mei saw Bu. She nodded and asked, "Where's Sister Su Hua? Why isn't she here either?"
"She went to the department store next door. A new batch of cloth arrived. I asked her to pick out two pieces of new patterns. I've been making the finished clothes bit by bit. I've made a lot so far. The display racks you arranged are almost full... It's costing a lot of money, and I don't know when we can open the shop!" Speaking of this, Li Shufen's face showed worry.
She earned enough money, but it wasn't much either. She invested all the money in the shop, and she kept investing more and more. She could see herself struggling to make ends meet.
Although she believed Su Mei, she was still panicked in her heart.
Seeing Li Shufen's depressed look, Su Mei quickly told her the main purpose of her visit today: "I came here today just to tell you the good news. The official document was officially issued yesterday.
In three or four days we will get the license and we can officially open for business."
"Really?" Li Shufen's face was filled with visible surprise: "That's great!"
Su Mei nodded: "Really, I have submitted the information of our store today. I will provide the money for this store and you will provide the technology and daily management. It is a joint venture between the two of us, and we will still split the profits of the store 70% as usual.
Our store combines Western designs with Chinese embroidery techniques, so I named it "Su Fen Western Embroidery."
sewfinewest: A direct combination of “sew”, “fine” and “west”, the pronunciation is close to the original Chinese name.
I didn’t mention my English name, Su Mei, because it doesn’t matter now anyway.
"That's great, Su Fen Xi Xiu, although I don't understand it, but you are a cultured person, so you must have chosen a good name!" After saying this, Li Shufen repeated the name several times.
She didn't expect that Su Mei would think of her when naming the child, and she was very happy.
This name is actually quite ordinary.
Su Mei's name was "Wai". After thinking for several days, she couldn't come up with anything good, so she just kept it simple.
This choice also makes sense.
As long as the quality and design are good, and it is well promoted in the future, it won’t matter what it’s called.
Work hard and make luxury products for Chinese people.
