Chapter 374: Hundred Steps to Shoot the Target
The person who spoke stiffened and turned around to see Zhao Mingyue looking at her coldly, with ice in her eyes.
"Zhao... Zhao Design, I'm sorry..."
Zhao Mingyue sneered and raised her eyebrows. "Pack your things and get out. If anyone else wants to talk about me behind my back, you can get out with her now!"
The designer was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Zhao Mingyue, you're just a designer. What qualifications do you have to fire me?! Do you think you're the company's HR manager?! I won't leave!"
Zhao Mingyue paused as she was about to leave, and her cold gaze fell on the designer's face, as if she was looking at something.
Frightened by her gaze, the other person unconsciously looked away.
Zhao Mingyue scoffed and spoke slowly, "If I remember correctly, you have an elderly mother and a younger brother who's still in high school at home. If you don't want anything to happen to them, it's better for you to leave."
The designer's body trembled violently, and then he fell into the chair, shaking all over.
She finally understood why her former colleagues resigned and left so soon after they got in trouble with Zhao Mingyue. It turned out that they were threatened.
Zhao Mingyue is simply a devil!
Seeing her pale face, Zhao Mingyue turned away indifferently and walked towards the bathroom while saying, "I don't want to see you here tomorrow."
Several minutes after Zhao Mingyue left, the designer finally couldn't help but lay down on the table and cried.
Everyone around looked at her with sympathy, but they didn't dare to step forward to comfort her because they were afraid that Zhao Mingyue would ask them to leave as well.
As soon as Xiao Muzhen arrived at the company, the HR department came towards her with a girl who was about one month old and about twenty years old.
"Xiao Sheji, this is Ding Yue, a senior who just graduated from the Imperial Capital Academy of Fine Arts. She'll be your assistant from now on."
Xiao Muzhen glanced at Ding Yue. She had a pretty face and knew how to dress herself up. She looked like a wildly blooming rose, bright and juicy.
She nodded, "Okay, thank you Sister Wu."
Sister Wu waved her hand and said, "No need. I'll leave the person to you. I'm going back to work."
"good."
After Sister Wu left, Xiao Muzhen said calmly, "Sit down. Did you bring your previous works?"
Ding Yue originally thought that her boss would be a woman in her forties or fifties, but she didn't expect her to be so young. She looked about the same age as herself. She couldn't help but wonder in her heart, could the design drawings drawn by this person be better than hers?
"I brought it."
Xiao Muzhen took the design drawings she handed over, flipped through a few of them, and nodded. "Your design drawings are not bad, but there is still a lot of room for improvement. By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Xiao Muzhen, you can just call me Xiao Sheji from now on."
Ding Yue was silent for a few seconds, but couldn't help but say, "Designer Xiao, I've won the gold medal in the National Design Competition and was even shortlisted in the top 50 in the World Competition, so I hope my boss is better than me, or at least more experienced."
Xiao Muzhen raised his eyebrows. Is he doubting his own ability?
She smiled and said slowly, "You'll know my level after working for a while. Your workstation is outside my office. Go out and familiarize yourself with the work first."
Seeing her calm expression, Ding Yue couldn't help but frown, but still got up and left.
After the door closed, Xiao Muzhen lowered his head and continued to read the documents.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Yan Nan called a meeting of designers from the design department.
"The feedback on the clothes I designed last season wasn't very good. I asked my assistant to organize the styles of clothes that sold well and those that didn't. Everyone can take a look at them first, and then we can discuss the design direction of new products for next season in ten minutes."
Ding Yue was sitting behind Xiao Muzhen. Seeing Xiao Muzhen casually flipping through a few pages and then putting it down, she couldn't help but frown.
Is she so casual at work?
Ten minutes passed quickly, and Yan Nan said, "Everyone should know that the designs of the clothes that sold well last quarter haven't changed much... ahem... but the saturation of the clothes will be stronger than before."
After a pause, he continued, "I've done market research... ahem... some people call this kind of highly saturated clothing dopamine wear. We can design in this direction next season... ahem... what do you think... ahem..."
Xiao Muzhen frowned and said to Ding Yue behind him, "Go pour a cup of hot water for Manager Yan."
Ding Yue was reluctant, but still got up and went to the tea room to pour a cup of hot water.
"Manager Yan, please drink some hot water."
Yan Nan raised his eyes and glanced at her, his voice a little hoarse, "Thank you."
When she came into close contact with Yan Nan, Ding Yue's eyes flashed with surprise. She didn't expect that Manager Yan looked much better up close than from a distance, and he had a mature and gentle temperament. He was a completely different type from the boys in the school.
Just as she was in a daze, she suddenly felt a cold gaze falling on her.
She subconsciously turned around and saw the female designer sitting opposite Xiao Muzhen looking at her viciously with cold eyes.
Ding Yue felt a chill all over her body. She pursed her lips and turned back to her seat.
However, the female designer refused to let her go. She sneered and said, "Xiao Muzhen, you're such a considerate assistant. You poured water for Manager Yan when you saw him coughing. Are you worried that he won't sign her application for permanent employment?"
After what happened last night, Xiao Muzhen and Zhao Mingyue had completely broken off relations, so he naturally wouldn't tolerate her sarcasm.
"I asked her to pour water for Manager Yan. Do you have any objection?"
Zhao Mingyue didn't expect her to say that. She immediately gnashed with hatred and said coldly, "Of course I have no objection, but it's useless to try to please Manager Yan. You should focus on the design!"
Xiao Muzhen smiled and said calmly, "Seeing that a colleague is not feeling well, asking the assistant to pour a glass of water for the colleague means that he is not focusing on the design? Then Designer Zhao should just not eat. After all, eating is a waste of time."
"you!"
Zhao Mingyue glared at Xiao Muzhen and was about to scold her when Yan Nan interrupted her coldly, "Enough, this meeting is to discuss the design direction for the next quarter, not for you to quarrel here."
"Haha, Manager Yan is quite kind to women."
Yan Nan pretended not to hear her and said coldly, "Continue the meeting."
In the following meeting, no matter what Yan Nan said, Zhao Mingyue kept mocking him in a sarcastic tone. Everyone could see that she was going against Yan Nan.
However, thinking of the colleague who was forced away by Zhao Mingyue in the morning, no one dared to watch the show.
The meeting ended two hours later. Finally, the design style for the next quarter was divided into three directions. Xiao Muzhen and Zhao Mingyue were responsible for one direction each, and another designer, Wang, who had been in the company for five or six years, was responsible for one direction.
After Yan Nan left, Zhao Mingyue looked at Xiao Muzhen coldly and said, "I will definitely not lose to you this time. This company can only be between you and me!"
