Chapter 136: It is really "Father's love is like a mountain... landslide"
After having lunch with his father, Su Nian took the opportunity to ask for advice on a few key points that he had not fully understood from the morning meeting.
As expected, the older the better. With just a few words from her father, she solved the confusion that had been bothering her for a long time. After the conversation, Su Nian felt that her thoughts were suddenly enlightened and she benefited a lot.
——It turns out that it’s better to compete with “dad’s brain” than with your dad!
She secretly sighed that she still had a lot to learn, and couldn't help but cheer herself up in her heart: Come on, Su Nian!
Back in the design department downstairs, Su Nian had just sat back down at his workstation when Li Yue, who sat next to him, immediately came over and teased with a hint of curiosity, "Su Nian, you've been gone all morning. Tell me the truth, where have you been slacking off?"
Su Nian raised his eyes and smiled at her, deliberately lowering his voice and acting mysterious: "Keep it a secret! I'm going to carry out a special mission."
"Tsk, you?" Li Yue deliberately looked up and down at her slightly bulging belly, and laughed, "You're a pregnant mother, can you really save the earth?"
"Hey, don't disbelieve it." Su Nian joked with Li Yue while thinking in his heart - perhaps, it's time to reveal my life story to this good friend.
She paused, leaned forward slightly, leaned close to Li Yue's ear, and whispered something in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
As soon as the words fell from his mouth, Li Yue's eyes widened instantly, and the next second he jumped up from the chair, as if a mushroom cloud had exploded above his head, and his face was full of shock, "What earth-shattering news have I heard?"
Li Yue jumped so hard she almost did a flying coffee cup trick, spilling a few drops of scalding coffee onto the corner of the table. She was oblivious to the situation and simply pointed at Su Nian, her voice trembling. "What did you say?! Really? Director Chen... is he really your father? A real one? The kind you get for free when you top up your phone bill doesn't count!"
Colleagues at the surrounding workstations were attracted by the commotion here and all looked over, asking, "What gossip do you have? Tell us quickly."
Su Nian quickly reached out and tugged at Li Yue's sleeve, signaling her to lower her voice: "Keep your voice down, are you afraid others won't know? Do you want me to be on the company's headlines tomorrow?"
Li Yue finally realized it and covered her mouth, as if she was manually zipping herself up.
She leaned closer to Su Nian again, the shock still in her eyes. She lowered her voice and exclaimed, "Did I hear correctly? The big boss of our company is your biological father? Then you've been eating in the cafeteria with us and chatting about gossip for the past two months. So you're a 'runaway princess' who came to experience the suffering of the people?"
Is the 'Return of the King' about to happen next?
Su Nian smiled helplessly, her fingertips gently stroking her lower abdomen, and her tone was a little frank, "It's true."
What she actually wanted to say was: I didn’t know at first, sister! I only got the “Rich Family Recognizes Relatives” script not long ago!
"Oh my god..." Li Yue patted her chest, took a deep breath, and immediately switched to "clinging to someone" mode. "Miss... Miss, no, Su Nian, I'm going to follow you from now on! Please lead me! Please support me!"
Su Nian smiled and pushed Li Yue's arm: "Stop joking!" She thought to herself, is this guy possessed by a drama spirit?
At this time, Lan Ting called over here, "Su Nian, come here."
Su Nian responded and quickly stood up and walked towards the director's office.
"Sit down," Lan Ting pointed to the chair across from the desk and said straight to the point, "Your speech this morning was great!"
"Director, you didn't tell me in advance. I was confused at the time and just said something casually. I don't know if what I said was right?" Su Nian touched his head and said embarrassedly.
"It was your father's idea," Lan Ting said, "He also had good intentions." The old father's actions can be called "hardcore child promotion."
I knew it was his idea, and he even blamed it on Director Lan. It was truly a case of "fatherly love is like a mountain... a landslide." He nearly knocked her unconscious, and she landed with a 360-degree spin.
"Well, thank you, Director Lan!"
"Come, take a look at this." Lan Ting handed over a stack of design drafts.
Su Nian took it and looked at it. They were designs submitted by several groups in the department. She was a little confused about Director Lan's intention.
"You take a look first, and then we'll discuss it." Lan Ting said.
Oh, this is to let me be the "review assistant"!
As his fingertips stroked the slightly cool paper, Su Nian instantly regained the relaxation he had just had while joking with Li Yue, frowned slightly, and entered work mode.
She flipped through the design draft page by page. The lines printed with ink shone faintly in the sunlight. She first looked at the overall layout page by page. Her fingertips occasionally paused at the key points, and her fingernails gently scratched the markings on the fabric texture. This was what she learned from her father: look at the overall tone first, and then work out the logic of the details.
The first two stacks of manuscripts are quite standard. They are the commuter series often promoted by the marketing department. The color matching is safe and the tailoring is in line with the brand's consistent minimalist style.
But when she flipped to the third page, Su Nian's brow furrowed. This design, titled "Spring Whispers," featured a vibrant palette of vibrant pink and purple, contrasting with bright yellow. The hem of the skirt featured three layers of lace. Next to the sketch was a note: "Target audience: women aged 25-30."
This color combination is said to be the whisper of spring, but no matter how you look at it, it looks like spring has been punched hard and is seeing stars.
Her fingertips paused on the lines of lace, and she remembered that when she met with the marketing department last week, they clearly mentioned that "contemporary young women prefer light and unburdened designs." This full-page complicated decoration seemed like a replica of a retro style from ten years ago.
What concerned her even more was the fabric labeling - the lining said "100% polyester", but the outer layer was made of silk chiffon.
Su Nian let out a light click of her tongue. The drape of silk combined with the stiff polyester lining not only wrinkles easily when worn, but also makes the skin itchy, which is especially unfriendly to sensitive skin.
If you put this on, it's not spring whispers, it's spring torture, right?
She casually pulled out a highlighter from the pen holder, drew a striking question mark next to the line of annotation, circled the lace at the hem of the skirt, and wrote in small words: "It is recommended to reduce it to one layer to retain the drape."
Inner OS: This design may have some misunderstanding about "girlish heart"?
When he turned to the last page, Su Nian's fingers paused.
The design draft is signed by "Zhang Yue" and shows a champagne-colored evening gown with the brand logo made of diamonds on the bodice and an absurdly high slit on the skirt.
But she remembered that during the department meeting last week, Lanting had specifically emphasized that "the evening series must balance elegance and practicality, and avoid excessive exposure", and that the process cost of splicing diamonds was extremely high, and it would be impossible to make a profit according to the brand's pricing strategy.
Su Nian stared at the silver-shining diamond pattern on the drawing, and suddenly remembered her usual exclusion from herself. Now, looking at this obviously perfunctory design, she felt a complicated feeling in her heart.
This girl, after learning that the person she secretly loved was no longer single, probably gave up all thoughts of him and became so disheartened that she just gave up and didn't even bother to draw the design draft seriously?
"Have you finished reading it?" Lan Ting's voice brought her back to her senses.
