Chapter 151 Zhihao Group is officially established
"Based on this core idea, I have preliminarily planned the team's work flow and personnel arrangements." The scene on the screen switched, and a clear Gantt chart and personnel division of labor table appeared.
Liu Zhihao continued, "In the early stages, Su Nian will lead the concept and creative direction. You will need to deepen the core concept of the French team and produce at least three different creative design proposals, along with preliminary aesthetic references. I will provide international market trend analysis and technical support to ensure the creative ideas are implemented."
In the mid-term, we will work together to develop and refine the selected concept. This phase requires intense brainstorming and iteration. I will be responsible for ensuring both technical feasibility and compatibility with international market aesthetics.
This stage is commonly known as the 'mutual harm period'," Liu Zhihao joked.
The later stage is the presentation and coordination of the plan, which I will be primarily responsible for." He then switched to a PowerPoint presentation, showcasing the communication plan with the French side.
“This includes the integration of the final plan, the marking of technical details, and direct communication with the LDR studio. Of course, Su Nian needs to be involved throughout the entire process to ensure that the original creative intentions are accurately conveyed.”
This division of labor clearly gave Su Nian great creative autonomy, while at the same time using Liu Zhihao's experience to back her up, fully realizing Chen Ran's expectation of "letting Su Nian participate deeply and speak boldly."
Lan Ting nodded frequently as she listened, and couldn't help but interject, "This model is great! Zhihao has thought it through very carefully. Su Nian, what support do you need?"
Su Nian had clearly thought this through. Although her voice was soft, it was clear and organized. "I need a design assistant to help me collect and organize a large amount of images and information on traditional patterns and embroidery techniques. In addition, it would be more efficient if I could have a colleague who is very sensitive to color and fabric trends to help with the details."
"Okay." Liu Zhihao nodded, then quickly made a note in his notebook. He looked up at Lan Ting and said, "Director Lan, please arrange for a design assistant who is careful, patient, and good at researching information for Su Nian. Regarding color and fabric..." He paused for a moment, "Ask Zhao Yan from Fang Xia's team to join the early stage support. She is strong in this area."
Finally, he concluded, "For now, the core members of the team will be the two of us. Zhao Yan and another assistant will serve as temporary support personnel. In addition, I will directly liaise with the French side and report progress regularly to Director Lan and Chairman Chen."
He then looked at Lan Ting and Chen Ran and said, "In terms of hardware, we may need to allocate a higher-configuration rendering workstation to facilitate Su Nian's complex pattern simulation."
"No problem!" Lan Ting agreed. "How about we use our department's reception room as your 'creative base' for now? The equipment will be in place tomorrow, so it won't delay your 'creativity'!"
He looked at Chen Ran and Lan Ting: "Mr. Chen, Director Lan, do you have any additional comments regarding this arrangement?"
Chen Ran couldn't hide his admiration on his face. He waved his hand and said, "Leave professional matters to professionals. Zhihao, you've arranged it very well. We have no objection. Su Nian, go ahead and do it. The company is your and Zhihao's strongest backing."
Lan Ting also smiled and added: "Yes, if you need any resources, please feel free to ask."
The atmosphere at the launch event was even more harmonious and professional than expected, and filled with positive creative energy. This newly formed group seemed to have truly found its ideal direction.
Chen Ran and Lan Ting exchanged glances and saw the relief and relaxation in each other's eyes.
After the meeting, Liu Zhihao did not leave immediately. Instead, he walked naturally to Su Nian and pointed to a branch of the mind map on the screen.
"Regarding the color system, I've collected some of the French side's recent preferred tones and sent them to your email. They might be helpful for your concept. If this afternoon is convenient, we can have a quick meeting to further refine your specific ideas for the embroidery elements and the required supporting materials."
"Okay, thank you Teacher Zhihao. I'll take a look at it when I get back. We'll discuss it this afternoon." Su Nian responded, his tone less reserved and more focused on work.
Chen's company's HR is recruiting at the fastest speed.
In addition to a designer and Su Nian's design assistant, due to the increase in the design department's business volume, the company decided to recruit four intern positions, one for each of the four design teams.
"This is great," the HR director muttered to himself as he looked at the recruitment plan. "This company is about to become the Whampoa Military Academy of the design industry."
Su Nian immediately thought of her classmate Zhang Qiuyan, and secretly thought to herself, "If I don't tell Qiuyan about this opportunity, I'll be letting down our friendship of working together for several years!"
The most "depressed" people in the design department are Wen Xiaoqiao and Li Ruoyi. Their proud team leader Liu Zhihao has been transferred to a new team, which means they will have a new team leader.
"It's over, it's over," Wen Xiaoqiao wailed as he lay on his workstation.
Li Ruoyi patted her heavily and said, "Look at the bright side. What if the new team leader is a guy with a bad appearance?"
Friday is the time when Si Yan holds regular project meetings, and it is common for them to stay past the appointed time.
After get off work, Su Nian followed her father Chen Ran home for dinner.
"How's it been getting along with Zhihao these past two days?" Chen Ran asked his daughter, who was sitting in the passenger seat. "Is your body handling it? I have to remind you that you need to take it easy now."
"Yeah, we're getting along pretty well. Teacher Zhihao is responsible for rational analysis, and I'm responsible for imaginative thinking," Su Nian said honestly. "My health is also fine. When I'm working, I almost forget about the baby—until it kicks me to remind me it's time to eat, and then I remember, 'Oh, I'm pregnant with a little ancestor!'"
Chen Ran immediately became serious: "That won't do. You're an expectant mother, and you have to keep an eye on the baby in your belly." Chen Ran said seriously, "You're two people now."
Baby - Grandpa is right to remind me. By the way, my mother hasn’t interacted with me for a long time. Fortunately, I have a reliable father!
"I know, I know!" Su Nian gently rubbed her belly. "I promise not to let your precious grandson go hungry or cold, okay?"
Baby - Mom, I've written it down in my little notebook, so you have to keep your word!
When they arrived at Wanjing International, Su Hong had already prepared dinner and was waiting for the father and daughter to come home.
"Mom, how's your driving lesson going?" Su Nian hasn't forgotten to care about her mother's driving lessons recently.
"The coaches all praised me!" Su Hong said proudly, "They said my learning ability is better than that of young people!" He passed the first and second subjects in one go, which was a bit arrogant.
"Don't mention it, your mom is a quick learner, so smart!" Chen Ran now praised his wife's skills to the fullest. "I guess she'll be able to take us for a drive in a while."
"That's right, don't you see whose mother she is!" Su Nian smiled and put his arm around his mother's shoulders.
At this time, Su Nian suddenly remembered Zhang Qiuyan's internship. Since she was her good friend, she decided to "go through the back door" - after all, her father's requirement for her mother was basically "green light for all".
While her father was changing clothes, she quickly informed Su Hong: "Mom, what do you think of Qiuyan? Our company is recruiting interns, and I want her to try."
"Okay, leave it to me," Su Hong understood immediately and glanced towards the bedroom. "I'll take care of your dad's side."
