Chapter 77 Get the Competition Invitation
As soon as the design director said this, the conference room fell silent. Everyone held their breath, wanting to know the final result, especially Yao Yizhou and Mu Nanyan.
Mu Nanyan's palms were sweating. She had wanted to participate in this competition for a long time, but she didn't know if she could go this time.
"The total sales volume of clothes designed by Yizhou is 46,824 pieces, and the total sales volume of clothes designed by Nanyan is 50,360 pieces, so it is Mu Nanyan who will participate in this fashion design competition."
Everyone was a little surprised when they heard the result. After all, Yao Yizhou was a senior designer, and they didn't expect that he would lose to an intern. Everyone looked at Yao Yizhou with sympathy, but Yao Yizhou didn't have any big reaction. He said to Mu Nanyan:
"Nan Yan, congratulations, you are really talented in design. I hope you can help our company win good results in this competition."
Mu Nanyan didn't expect that Yao Yizhou was not angry, but congratulated her. It should be said that Yao Yizhou's vision is really big. Mu Nanyan smiled and said:
"Thank you, Designer Yao. I'm still a newcomer in the design world and still need to learn from you. I will definitely do my best in this competition."
"Come on, I'm rooting for you."
"Thanks."
The two men shook hands politely, and the other employees in the design department quietly shut up when they saw how harmoniously they got along. After all, the two competitors didn't care, so they, who were just watching, cared even less.
Seeing that no one was talking, Liu Dahai continued:
"This matter has come to an end for now. Winter is coming soon, and we need to start preparing new winter products. Let's keep up the good work and strive to achieve even better results."
"good!"
Everyone answered in unison.
"Okay, let's adjourn the meeting. Let's go back to work. Nan Yan, come with me to the office."
After Liu Dahai finished speaking, he left the meeting room. Mu Nanyan followed him, and the others also left the meeting room and returned to their workstations to continue working.
Design Director's Office
Mu Nanyan followed Liu Dahai into the office. Liu Dahai walked to his desk and took out a document from the drawer. He saw Mu Nanyan still standing at the door and greeted her:
"Come sit over there, I'll talk to you about the game."
"Okay, Director."
Mu Nanyan walked to the sofa in the reception area and sat down. Liu Dahai also came over with documents, sat down on the sofa opposite Mu Nanyan, and handed the documents in his hand to her.
"This is the invitation to the fashion design competition. Take it. The competition starts on the 15th of this month and lasts for a month, ending around the 15th of next month."
Mu Nanyan took the invitation and placed it on the coffee table in front of the sofa. Liu Dahai continued:
"I don't know if you've heard of this competition, but let me give you a brief introduction. The competition is divided into preliminary, semi-final, and final rounds. The preliminary round requires you to design a series of clothes, no less than three sets. The preliminary round is like the submission stage, and only after passing the preliminary round can you enter the semi-final. For the semi-final, you need to go to the competition site and design corresponding clothes according to the topic given by the organizer. It's like improvisation, and the judges will give you the scores. For the final, you need to bring models to the competition and design your own clothes. There will be a catwalk show, and the models will walk the runway wearing your designs. In the end, the public will give the scores, with the judges' scores accounting for 40% and the audience's scores accounting for 60%."
"I know all this. I've seen the announcement on their official website before."
"Okay, since you already know all this, I won't say much. You won't be participating in the design competition for our company's new winter products for now. Instead, focus on preparing for this competition. This competition is extremely important to our company, and it's also a great opportunity for you to increase your fame, so you must seize it."
"Don't worry, Director. I will definitely try my best this time. I really wanted to participate in this competition when I was in school, but students were not eligible. Now that I have finally got this opportunity, I will definitely cherish it."
"Very good. By the way, we said before that the winner of the competition would be promoted. Since you haven't received your diploma yet, the company can't make you a full-time employee. However, your professional title will be evaluated as an intermediate designer, and your salary will be increased from the previous base salary of 7,000 to 10,000. Your autumn clothing sales are good, so the company will give you an additional commission. It should be deposited into your account today, so please check it."
"Okay, thank you Director."
Mu Nanyan didn't expect the company to treat her so well this time. She chose this company just to participate in that competition. Now she has the opportunity to participate in the competition, her salary has increased, and she has been promoted. It really is a three-pronged approach.
"Keep doing your best. I'm still very optimistic about you. If you can win a place in this competition, your status in the design circle will rise rapidly. You might even be able to become our company's chief designer."
Mu Nanyan just smiled and said nothing. She was actually still very unsure about this competition. After all, there were so many excellent designers in the country, and she was just a newcomer with many shortcomings. She participated in this competition to see the gap between herself and those people, and to learn more from her predecessors.
Mu Nanyan could only listen to the director's empty promises as soon as he arrived. She didn't care whether she could become the chief designer or not. After all, she had her own plan. After getting her diploma, she would create her own brand.
Seeing that she didn't respond, the director had to change the subject and talk about other things:
"By the way, it will be inconvenient for you to participate in the competition alone. I will arrange a designer assistant for you. If you have a suitable candidate, you can also propose one yourself."
A face immediately appeared in Mu Nanyan's mind, and she replied:
"Zhou Ruxuan's workstation is closer to mine, so it will be convenient for us to discuss work later. Why not choose her?"
"Okay, then when you go back later, ask her to come over. I'll tell her that she'll be your personal assistant designer from now on. You can assign her to do anything you need."
"Thank you, Director."
"I've said everything I need to say. Go prepare for the next game."
"good."
Mu Nanyan responded, picked up the invitation letter on the table and left the director's office.
When she returned to the design department's office, she saw Zhou Ruxuan working diligently. She still had a good impression of this girl. Moreover, since that incident, basically no one else in the company liked her very much. Only Zhou Ruxuan was willing to talk to her.
