The designer and the president swapped places?
The employees of Jianyi Company gradually discovered that the office style of the female president Jian Qing had undergone earth-shaking changes.
As a young urban elite, Jian Qing's original office was full of a modern business office atmosphere. The simple and bright office was decorated in a Nordic style. When reading business information in the afternoon, Jian Qing would also make a pot of coffee, and the area around the president's office would be filled with the aroma of coffee.
Since when did the president's office lose the smell of coffee?
It should have been after Jian Qing had a car accident.
On a quiet working day, a lively discussion began in the employee group.
A: "Dear ones, did you see that? Mr. Jian changed his desk!"
B: "See, see, it's a big dark red solid wood table!"
A: "Yeah, that's called red wood. The transporter said it was a whole piece of African red sandalwood! When did Mr. Jian's taste become so retro?"
B: "I saw that Ms. Jian gave her coffee machine worth over 10,000 yuan to Assistant Lin yesterday."
C: "Assistant Lin asked the office to buy tea yesterday. West Lake Longjing, Dongting Biluochun, Huangshan Maofeng... He said that President Jian wanted to taste tea."
B: "Wow, when did Mr. Jian's taste become so classical?"
C: "Just recently. Look at what Ms. Jian is wearing today. It's a new Chinese style and looks really nice."
…
In the president's office, Jingdezhen porcelain is neatly arranged on the golden nanmu shelves, and the elegant fragrance of tea permeates the office. Next to the floor-to-ceiling window of the office, Jian Qing is reading a book with great interest, holding a dictionary in his hand.
It was at this time that Qin Shi knocked on Jian Qing's office door.
"Shishi!" Jian Qing showed joy when he saw Qin Shi coming in.
Qin Shi glanced around the CEO's office and said, "I feel like I've stepped onto the set of a costume drama."
"A costume drama filming site." Jian Qing said word by word, "Great! I learned a new term today. When I'm free, I want to go see what it's like."
"You can search online. With our Qingqing's temperament, if she goes to a film and television base, she will definitely be discovered by a scout and be cast in one or two costume dramas." Qin Shidao couldn't help but sigh when she saw Jian Qing in a Hanfu costume, like an orchid blooming in a downtown area.
"Now that you mention it, I want to go and see it even more."
Qin Shi took out a fabric sample and handed it to Jian Qing: "Okay, okay, before Mr. Jian goes on a spontaneous trip, take a look at this first."
Jian Qing took the soft cloth and said, "This cloth feels very good. It must be very popular. But looking at the pattern, the black one is a bit abrupt and lacks a sense of beauty."
Qin Shi nodded. The sample she was holding was the one that had been destroyed by Chen Cheng's cousin the day before. Although Jian Qing had handed over full control of Jianyi Company to Qin Shi and no longer handled the group's affairs, Qin Shi still felt that the production line problem was a serious matter. Moreover, it was related to Chen Cheng, so she needed to tell Jian Qing.
After Qin Shi finished explaining the whole story, Jian Qing was so angry that he wanted to curse.
"How could they be so shameless? Such a huge amount of fabric was wasted. In my hometown, it would have provided hundreds of people with enough clothes to get through the winter and save them from the cold. It's such a shame to waste it like this."
Qin Shi just felt that Jian Qing's way of cherishing things was a bit like her own grandmother. The old lady was very thrifty, and when she saw the younger generations wasting things, she would frown and recall the good times.
The old man had experienced very hard times. When he was a child, many people were hungry and cold, so he was very thrifty with food, clothing, and daily necessities. Jian Qing was born in ancient times, when it was still an agricultural era. Clothes and fabrics were all woven by hand. It was heartbreaking for Jian Qing to have thick fabrics become useless because of a single pattern.
"It's okay, Qingqing. The suspect has been taken into custody by the police. He confessed to his actions and is fully responsible for the losses of Jianyi Company. We just need to ask the production department and the finance department to calculate the specific losses, and then let Chen Cheng's cousin make full compensation." Qin Shi comforted.
Jian Qing shook his head: "Where will these fabrics go?"
Qin Shi: "The pattern on the fabric has been completely destroyed and it can no longer be used. Considering our brand, the best solution is to destroy it."
Jian Qing kept shaking his head. "Don't destroy them! These fabrics are of good quality. It would be a shame to destroy them. By the way, Shishi, you're the creative director. Think of a way. If you can revise and draw on the original design, maybe you can reuse it."
Qin Shi shook her head. "Qingqing, I understand your compassion for the item, but a design draft can't be altered simply by changing it. Besides, once the fabric is on the production line, there are specific procedures for how to color it and how to cut it. The current situation is that if we go through the coloring process again after the cutting is done, the result won't be very good, and it might even be a waste of effort."
Jian Qing lowered his head sadly and kept stroking the samples brought by Qin Shi, as if he was reluctant to say goodbye.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up.
"Shishi, I have an idea. Give me all these fabrics!"
Qin Shi understood that Jian Qing was still reluctant to part with the fabrics and wanted to reuse them. "You are kind-hearted, but the knowledge of design software and production line processes is too complicated for you."
Jian Qing shook her head. "I have another idea. I see you busy at the group every day, dealing with all kinds of people, and I can't help you much. Let me tell you in secret, my female workers are actually quite good. The fabrics are only affected by a large black spot that affects their beauty. I'll embroider some other patterns on them, and you can take a look."
Qin Shi looked at the large area of black on the fabric, thought about it, and felt that what Jian Qing said made sense, so she nodded.
She picked up her phone and asked Brother Haohao to take people to move all the wrong-print fabrics to the president's office.
In the office building, employees saw several people carrying a piece of cloth as tall as a person and carefully entering the president's office.
The employee chat group became lively again.
A: "Mr. Jian replaced the desk with a larger one. He originally wanted to use it as a workbench."
B: "Hey everyone out there, I'm too far away from the CEO's office to see clearly. What's going on?"
C: "It seems that the production line workers carried a pile of semi-finished products into the president's office. I looked at those semi-finished products and they looked like misprinted waste."
B: "I remember, Brother Haohao came to see our supervisor yesterday. It seems there was a minor problem on the production line, and Boss Qin even gave the workers half a day off."
C: "I remember that too. So, after lying dormant for a few months, President Jian has started to operate the production line?"
B: "Amitabha, no, the vigorous and decisive President Jian is back again..."
A: "Let's pray for Haohao. @Be a good person here."
"Be a Good Person" is the WeChat name of Zhang Haoran, deputy director of the production line.
Be a good person: "Ancestors and sisters, please let me go..."
Jian Qing looked at the stack of cloth that was as tall as himself and fell into deep thought.
"I may have underestimated the amount of fabric and overestimated my sewing speed." After Zhang Haoran took the workers away, Jian Qing sighed softly.
"Now that you mention it, I have an inspiration. Fortunately, the damaged shapes and positions of each piece of cloth are similar. We can redesign it, just like patching it, and add the right pattern here." Qin Shi looked at the cloth, gestured with his hands, and pondered.
Jian Qing immediately understood what Qin Shi meant: "Modern production lines can mass-produce beautiful patterns, and my skills allow me to hand-sew patterns onto fabrics. This is what we call a match, and the work is not tiring."
Qin Shi opened the design draft of this batch of fabrics, and took photos of the wrong fabrics and scanned them into the computer. She looked at the abrupt black spots, thinking about how to turn decay into magic.
Seeing Qin Shi frowning in thought, Jian Qing found a piece of newspaper and sketched his own ideas based on the black spots on the fabric.
When Qin Shi still had no idea, Jian Qing seemed to remember something and said to Qin Shi happily, "Xiangyun, Shishi, look at the outline of this spot. Doesn't it look like a pattern of auspicious clouds?"
Qin Shi's mind was filled with various compositions of Western aesthetics. When Jian Qing mentioned "auspicious clouds", cloud patterns of Chinese aesthetics gradually emerged in her mind.
The soft geometric lines, paired with a slightly fashionable illustration on the side, if changed to a pattern of auspicious clouds, the overall color will be light and bright, and it will seem like a dialogue between ancient and modern times. It is bolder and more exciting than the original design.
Inspired by Jian Qing, Qin Shi immediately picked up the mouse and began to modify the design draft.
"How does this effect look?" After referring to a large number of auspicious cloud compositions on the Internet, Qin Shi finally drew up a design draft and gave it to Jian Qing for reference.
"It completely covers most of the area, and at the same time, to express the outline of the auspicious clouds, a little black is left exposed at the bottom. Shishi, you are amazing."
"Design is my job, and inspiration is your gift. Qingqing, you are the best." Qin Shi looked at the design draft with emotion.
"Modern people like handicrafts. Leave the task of embroidering auspicious clouds on the fabric to me. I am good at embroidery," Jian Qing suggested.
Indeed, large-scale machine production has replaced the original manual manufacturing. In the clothing industry, no matter how sophisticated the machine is, the embroidery effect during production will never be as exquisite as handmade. If Jian Qing can add a process to the production of fabrics by hand, the effect will be very different.
Similarly, the market value of the product will be raised to a new level.
Qin Shi hugged Jian Qing excitedly: "Qingqing, you are such a treasure girl. I can't even imagine how many hidden skills you have that I don't know about!"
"You know what? My best friend Qingqing used to be an out-and-out entrepreneur, and I was just doing the design behind the scenes. Now, I feel like you're a natural designer. I have a feeling your inspiration will bring Jianyi Company to new heights!"
