Shen Jie's tone was full of helplessness, but it's true. Most positions with strong professional skills, such as fashion design, require a master's degree, and a bachelor's degree really doesn't offer much of an advantage.
"How's it working here?" Fang Yang asked with concern. The two had been deskmates for a year and had a decent relationship. Shen Jie was also one of the few classmates Fang Yang could talk to during high school.
"Overall it's alright. There aren't many people coming to look at clothes at this Loro Piana menswear store, so it's a relatively easy job. However, the loyalty of customers who buy this kind of clothing is very high. You basically don't need to waste too much persuasion. As long as you have a group of old customers, you almost don't have to worry about income."
"That's great. I'll introduce you to more clients when I have the chance. You know, I may not be that great at other things, but I do know a few celebrities."
"Alright, then I'll take your word for it. I'll be relying on my old classmate to take care of my meals every day from now on."
Chen Jie's clear and melodious laughter attracted the attention of several saleswomen, but they didn't come over to disturb her. After all, there were two customers, a man and a woman, and perhaps it was just a natural reaction because they were happy.
After exchanging a few words, the initial awkwardness faded, and Shen Jie became bolder in her speech, "Fang Yang, are you two dating? You two are such a perfect match."
Fang Yang was still not used to exposing their relationship in front of outsiders. Upon hearing this, he just chuckled twice, neither admitting nor denying it, which prompted Zhou Xin to kick Fang Yang twice under the table. Fang Yang grimaced in pain, but still managed to smile and say, "Yes, yes, I hope my old classmate won't talk about it outside."
Shen Jie chuckled, "I never thought that my old classmate, who used to blush whenever she talked to a girl, would be in a relationship now. Congratulations on your long and happy marriage. But if you want me to keep quiet, you'll have to support my business."
Relatively speaking, Zhou Xin was more generous. She picked up the picture book on the table and started flipping through it. "This time, I mainly want to prepare an outfit for him to wear to the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony in Xiamen. Do you have any suggestions?"
Shen Jie thought for a moment, "At this time of year, the weather in Xiamen is not very cold, and it is even a bit warm. Generally speaking, a casual suit is more suitable, but for this occasion, I suggest that you buy a spring or autumn suit. We just received a batch of newly launched autumn clothes, but the price is relatively high. If it is in a while, the price may be cheaper."
Seeing that Shen Jie was considerate of Fang Yang in every way, Zhou Xin was quite satisfied. "There is no problem with the price. The main thing is whether the clothes fit well. I know that your suits are mainly made to order, so the finished product depends on luck."
"Yes, I didn't expect Miss Zhou to know so much about our brand. But for Fang Yang's figure, it's actually very easy to find clothes that fit him. He's practically a walking clothes hanger. Wait a minute, I'll go get him a set to try on."
Shen Jie glanced at Fang Yang briefly, but didn't even ask about his clothing size before turning around and walking towards the display area.
Seeing Shen Jie walk away, Zhou Xin asked in a low voice, "She's the inspiration for your song 'My Deskmate,' right? I didn't expect you to still be hung up on her!"
Fang Yang felt his whole body stiffen, and quickly laughed, "No, there's no prototype. It's just something I wrote randomly back then."
"Really? I remember you saying that art comes from life, isn't this just living life?"
Fang Yang looked distressed. "No, it's not true. We were deskmates for a year, back in our senior year of high school. Back then, we were always doing problems and listening to the teacher explain them. We really didn't have time to think about anything else."
Just as Zhou Xin was about to speak, she saw Shen Jie walking over with several pieces of clothing, so she had no choice but to give her a temporary reproach. "These clothes are mainly for the younger generation and are designed for formal occasions. They have a bit of a dress style, but of course, they can also be worn to parties. Fang Yang, try them on and see if they fit."
Zhou Xin stood up, took the dress from Shen Jie, unfolded it, and saw that the style was quite good, not flashy, but rather very dignified. Only some details showed that it was a dress with a design that was very suitable for attending an awards ceremony.
"It looks great, Fang Yang. You should try it on. This outfit suits your status as a big boss."
There were three pieces of clothing in total, ranging in color from light to dark, suitable for people of all ages. Since Chen Jie didn't know Fang Yang's personal preferences, she simply took them all.
Trying on just the outer garments was relatively simple. Fang Yang took off his outer garments in the negotiation area and tried them on. There were only three pieces, so it was quite quick.
While watching Fang Yang change clothes, Zhou Xin and Shen Jie whispered to each other about which outfit was suitable. After all, Fang Yang was just a clothes hanger and had no say in the matter.
"I think the one in the lightest color looks the best on him. He looks handsome and stylish, and has a lot of masculine charm!"
Shen Jie expressed her opinion directly: Fang Yang is not old, so there is no need for him to dress so old-fashioned. The bright colors match his temperament well.
"The key is that he's going to attend an awards ceremony this time. It would be fine if he were just on a TV show, but it would look too young for an awards ceremony. That neutral outfit would be better; it would make him look more mature without being too old. What do you think, Shen Jie?"
Based on the actual situation, Zhou Xin put forward different opinions.
"That's true. I almost forgot he's a boss. If he's too green, he'll seem impulsive. Your suggestion is good. People always say that someone who's young and inexperienced is unreliable. Being a little more mature and composed will also show the boss's authority!"
"Hehe, you don't know how old-fashioned he is. I was worried that he was dressed too old-fashioned and didn't look like a young person at all!"
Shen Jie covered her mouth and chuckled, "I don't know that. Back then, he would blush whenever he talked to female classmates. The girls in our school liked to tease him, and they would often come to our class, but unfortunately, none of them succeeded!"
Zhou Xin also found it amusing. Seeing Fang Yang's face as black as the bottom of a pot, she consciously stopped the discussion. "Then let's go with this neutral color. Get a complete set of pants, shirt, and tie. The specific matching is up to you, the expert!"
Shen Jie stood up to get the others, saying, "What kind of expert am I? I'll just take a couple more sets and see how they match."
Watching Shen Jie walk out of the negotiation area, Zhou Xin remembered Fang Yang's scandalous behavior and couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, "Can I interview you? How many love letters did you receive back then?"
"Listen to her, how come I didn't know about this!"
Seeing Fang Yang's stubbornness, Zhou Xin couldn't help but chuckle. "It's not surprising that you received a love letter. On the contrary, your nervousness makes you seem a bit guilty."
"No way! Someone as outstanding as me wouldn't just accept someone else's love letter so easily."
"You're so glib. I'll just ask Zhao Liang next time. I don't believe you didn't receive love letters from other people when you were in college."
Fang Yang shook his head. Why is he getting hung up on love letters?
