Chapter 61 White Moonlight Substitute 27

After the rain, the sky cleared up. Yao Shiyun came under the kapok tree and looked up at the flowers on the branches.

She didn't know why, but since she saw the flowers blooming, she felt a little distracted, as if... as if from the flowers blooming, she saw a huge turn in her life trajectory at a certain time point, and from then on, she would be immune to wind and rain and go straight up.

There were footsteps behind Yao Shiyun, and the person who came gently put his palm on the trunk, as if feeling the vitality of the tree.

Yao Shiyun imitated Yao Rong's movements.

On the branch, a pretty kapok flower trembled in the wind, swayed a few times, and finally fell from the branch as if it couldn't bear it anymore, hitting Yao Shiyun's head directly.

She was startled and subconsciously reached out to catch the black shadow that flashed by.

Looking at the kapok flower lying quietly in Yao Shiyun's palm, Yao Rong laughed out loud.

The next day, Yao Shiyun returned to University A.

She first went to visit the vice dean.

The vice dean was very happy to see her. He patted her on the shoulder several times and praised her as the president of the school.

As soon as she said goodbye to the vice dean, Yao Shiyun was called by the counselor.

The counselor looked at her with an especially gentle look: "The college has decided to recommend you as an outstanding graduate. Also, I wonder if you are interested in staying in school? The college has several good positions this year."

Everything that Lu Xinghua once struggled to get is now easily available to Yao Shiyun.

But Yao Shiyun declined the invitation to stay in school: "Teacher, I plan to create a personal brand."

A few years ago, when Yao Rong asked her if she wanted to create a personal brand, Yao Shiyun denied herself again and again.

Now, she can finally speak out this goal honestly and firmly.

Because from now on, she will realize this goal.

Former roommate Zhou Miaomiao was the first to know the news.

Zhou Miaomiao held her chin with both hands: "Xiaoyun, you are about to start your own business, and I haven't found a job I like yet."

Yao Shiyun held the business plan in both hands and stuffed it into Zhou Miaomiao's arms: "Do you want to take a look?"

"What is this?"

Yao Shiyun stretched out her right hand to Zhou Miaomiao and invited her: "Classmate Zhou Miaomiao, don't look for a job, come and start a business with me."

Her studio will not be very large at the beginning, but it will have all the necessary staff. Zhou Miaomiao's talent in clothing design is average, but she is very good at taking care of various affairs, which is just right for secretary-type work.

Zhou Miaomiao was stunned by the surprise that came out of nowhere.

Yao Shiyun said seriously: "My family will not give any financial support. The studio is starting from scratch. In the short term, your investment may be far greater than the return, and you will face countless difficulties and risks in the future. But I promise you that our studio will get better and better."

Zhou Miaomiao thought for only half a second: "I'll join."

"Don't you want to take a look at my plan first?"

"I don't know whether you are reliable or not?" Zhou Miaomiao raised her eyebrows and shook Yao Shiyun's hand tightly.

...

Café.

Bo Shan sat on the sofa, holding up the coffee she had just served and was about to take a sip -

Yao Shiyun pushed open the door of the cafe against the light and came straight to the seat opposite Bo Shan: "Senior Bo, sorry for the long wait."

"I just arrived too." Bo Shan still had her long hair draped over her shoulders, "I ordered a glass of milk for you."

It has been exactly two years since they parted at the buffet.

In these two years, the two have never contacted each other. Occasionally, they passed by each other in school, and they just smiled at each other.

Until yesterday morning, Yao Shiyun sent Bo Shan a business plan.

Yao Shiyun drank a sip of milk: "Senior, have you thought it through?"

Bo Shan has been thinking about this question for the past two days. She has already made a decision in her heart, but there are some things she still needs to ask in advance: "I am now a second-year graduate student in the Department of Finance. I don't have much work experience. Are you sure you want me to join you?"

Yao Shiyun was very sure: "I plan to get the studio on the right track within two years. By then, you will just graduate, so you don't have to worry about being too busy."

She knew Bo Shan's grades. Whether it was during undergraduate or graduate studies, she always remained in the top five in her major.

As for Bo Shan's character, she already knew it two years ago.

At the moment, she couldn't find a more suitable candidate for financial management than Bo Shan.

Bo Shan put down the coffee cup: "It seems that I can't call you Yao Junior Sister in the future."

"Huh?"

"What I want to say is, hello, boss."

...

City A, a clothing company.

Ling Bai has been having a very frustrating time recently.

After graduation, he accepted the invitation of a relative and went to work in his relative's company.

Before he joined the company, the relative drew cakes for Ling Bai like crazy. After he joined the company, Ling Bai realized how uncomfortable it was to work in his relative's job. If he performed a little badly, all his relatives would hear about it the next day.

And the most important point is that he is good at women's clothing, but his relative's company sells men's clothing.

But when he proposed the idea of ​​changing jobs to his parents, his parents strongly opposed it.

Firstly, they didn't want to hurt the relationship between relatives, and secondly, they felt that the recent employment situation was not good. If Ling Bai changed jobs, it would be difficult to find a better job than this one in a short time.

At this moment, his mobile phone suddenly popped up a notification sound.

After reading the message sent by the other party, Ling Bai's tiredness was swept away.

He was too lazy to even eat, so he pulled out his office chair and sat back in front of his computer to receive the proposal from the other party.

About half an hour later, Ling Bai sent a message to Yao Shiyun: [I am very interested, but I wonder if I can talk to you in person?]

Yao Shiyun replied almost immediately: [No problem, I will meet you near your company after work]

At 6:30 pm, Yao Shiyun and Ling Bai sat face to face in the restaurant.

Compared to Zhou Miaomiao and Bo Shan who don't have much work experience, Ling Bai, who has been working for two years, has considered more. He asked questions about some of the contents in the plan. No matter what he asked, Yao Shiyun answered calmly, obviously well-informed, and not just playing around on a whim.

"I know you have concerns. If you have any more questions, just ask. I will do my best to eliminate your worries." Yao Shiyun said sincerely.

Ling Bai's mind heated up.

When he first entered college, during night talks with his brothers, he also happily thought about whether he could start his own brand company one day in the future. But in his senior year, he put away his naivety and chose a more stable path.

But now, a great opportunity is right in front of him...

"Boss, I'm going to fight you from now on!"

Ling Bai raised his fist and said with a beaming face.

Yao Shiyun imitated his movements and raised his fist to hit each other.

...

Cen Jinge's regularization is a done deal.

As long as the internship is over, she will be able to stay in this internationally renowned clothing company and become a formal designer.

At first, Cen Jinge was happy.

However, her senior brother who did not pass the preliminary round of the National Fashion Design Competition became more and more sarcastic to her, and repeatedly squeezed her out of the intern team.

The master who taught her was still partial to her senior brother, and every time he talked to her, he looked like he had run out of patience.

And the assembly line design of the bottom-level designers made her feel boring.

Cen Jinge had to face a problem.

At first she tried her best to squeeze into this company, but is this really what she wants now?

What she likes is the atmosphere with other players during the competition, and the relatively relaxed and free creative environment.

But... she can't be willful.

The salary offered by this company is very generous. Grandpa's treatment costs a lot of money every month. She needs this job to reduce the burden on her parents.

Cen Jinge turned her head and looked at the city outside the window, which was already brightly lit, relaxed her eyes, and lowered her head to draw again.

Just after she drew a few lines on it with a liner pen, her mobile phone suddenly emitted a faint light.

[Shiyun: Jinge, I will fly to City B to find you tomorrow. Are you free to meet me at noon? ]

Cen Jinge was surprised: [Yes! 】

The next day, Cen Jinge finished her morning work early. When the lunch break came, she got up with her bag and went to eat.

The senior brother at the next table said in a gloomy tone: "Some people have been eyeing this break time early."

Cen Jinge had endured it for several days, and this time she finally got annoyed: "It's better than some people working twelve hours a day and slacking off for ten hours."

After saying this, Cen Jinge left directly.

Ten minutes later, Cen Jinge met Yao Shiyun in the Western restaurant.

When Cen Jinge asked Yao Shiyun why she suddenly came to City B, Yao Shiyun directly stated her purpose: "I want to create my own personal brand and want to invite you to join my team."

Cen Jinge was surprised and asked for details.

Half an hour later, Cen Jinge hesitated for a long time, but still refused with a wry smile: "Shiyun, I won't hide it from you, I am very tempted, but the early stage of starting a business is not stable enough, but my grandfather's treatment cannot be stopped..." She also hopes that she can be willful, but this is the reality.

"Don't worry. I have already considered this matter before coming to you. Don't worry, the salary offered by the studio will definitely be much higher than the salary of your current job. And I promise you that even if the studio is really stretched in the future, your salary will definitely not be reduced."

The company where Cen Jinge works treats Cen Jinge as an ordinary intern designer, but Yao Shiyun invites Cen Jinge to go there in the hope that Cen Jinge can become one of the pillars of the studio.

The two sides have different positioning of Cen Jinge, so the treatment they give is naturally different.

Cen Jinge was stunned: "You...what did you say..."

"I think your design style and design concept are very consistent with our studio. You are the most compatible partner I have been looking for. Maybe now we can't be compared with the chief designer of your company, but we will grow with the studio."

Yao Shiyun raised his right hand: "Now, without any worries, are you willing to join us?"

Cen Jinge's eyes became firmer.

She and Yao Shiyun clapped their hands in the air, and the applause was crisp.

"From today on, I am a member of the studio."

...

Half a month later, the five people in the studio had their first formal meeting.

At first, Cen Jinge was a little reserved, but Zhou Miaomiao recognized her immediately and pulled her aside to chat, praising her performance in the competition.

Bo Shan and Ling Bai were both good-tempered people, and soon, Cen Jinge put aside her unfamiliarity.

The first topic they discussed was the name of the studio.

"I plan to name the studio Kapok, what do you think?"

"No problem." Everyone unanimously approved the name.

Yao Shiyun continued to introduce the situation.

"A University has support for college students to start businesses. I applied to the college and the college approved a classroom for me to use as an office. Our studio will be located there in the next year. The network cables and other things have been laid out and can be used directly."

For a studio, the location of the office is not really important. What is really important is to have a mature clothing production line.

"At this point, I plan to first rent the production line of the clothing company under the Yao Group, and then gradually establish our own production line... Well, this matter will be left to you, Miaomiao, and I will assist you behind the scenes."

Then, Yao Shiyun talked about the issue of sales.

"Although our brand has just started, we need to keep up with the necessary scale. My initial plan is to open an offline store and an online store. The online store will focus on light luxury products to expand the user base and visibility, while the offline store will focus on finished products, mainly hand-made customization and private customization. Later on, I will hire someone to be in charge of this matter."

Of course, if you want to sell something, you must have goods.

Yao Shiyun pushed a thick folder of design drafts in front of Lingbai: "Lingbai, these design drafts are given to you for screening. You pick out 50 works and then make a second refinement. These 50 sets of clothes will become the first batch of products in our online store."

These design drafts were all design drafts that Yao Shiyun, Cen Jinge and Lingbai had never published before.

Lingbai flipped through them one by one and made an OK gesture.

Yao Shiyun handed another relatively thin stack of design drafts to Cen Jinge: "I'm going to trouble you with the works for the offline store."

Everyone went through the tasks one by one, reached a consensus smoothly, and further clarified the individual division of labor.

"It's early April now. We will try to sort out these things before June, and then put them into production. The online store will be officially launched in August. What do you think?"

"No problem." The other four said in unison.

Yao Shiyun returned home, and Yao Rong was holding a video conference in the living room.

After a year, Yao Group finally mass-produced 50,000 Fengchi. During this time, Yao Shiyun was busy with the affairs of the studio, and Yao Rong was also busy with the launch of Fengchi.

In a few days, it will be the 50th anniversary of the establishment of Yao Group, and Yao Rong decided to start selling Fengchi on that day.

During this time, advertisements related to Fengchi have been fully launched online.

Since the day the advertisement was launched, the stock price of Yao Group has begun to rise steadily.

Many competitors could not sit still, and negative searches about the Yao Group continued to emerge. Yao Rong handled this game between capitals with ease. She also took time to visit Jian Jia, the grandson of Chairman Jian, in the hospital.

After a long wait, Jian Jia finally matched a suitable heart source.

This time, he no longer had to worry about his body being unable to support the rejection reaction. The whole operation was very smooth and he recovered very quickly after the operation.

When Yao Rong came to visit him with flowers, the desolate and decadent air he once had had had been replaced by vigorous vigor. Except for his paler complexion than ordinary people, he was no different from other people of the same age.

Three days later, Fengchi went on sale, and the stock price of the Yao Group soared.

Half a month later, Fengchi's data report appeared on Yao Rong's desk.

In just half a month, Fengchi sold more than 50,000 units in China, and the first 50,000 units were all sold out.

Fengchi's overseas sales are also very encouraging.

Yao Group has been committed to opening up overseas markets in recent years, but the results have not been great. Now, with Fengchi as a stepping stone, Yao Group has finally completely made its overseas reputation.

***

At the end of May, Yao Shiyun completed her graduation defense.

Her graduation work was also rated as an excellent graduation design.

So far, all her thoughts have been put on the preparation and establishment of the studio.

Ling Bai picked out 52 design drafts, and Cen Jinge picked out 24 design drafts.

A few people gathered together to discuss again, make the final confirmation and adjustment, and then went to the clothing company under the Yao Group, visited the production workshop, and discussed the production needs in detail with the workshop director.

As the sample clothes were produced one after another, the time for taking graduation photos was approaching.

Yao Shiyun sat cross-legged on the sofa and ate a chilled lychee: "Mom, are you free to come over tomorrow?"

"Yes, I will be your photographer tomorrow."

Yao Rong lowered his head and sent a message to the secretary, asking the secretary to postpone tomorrow's meeting and to send a camera over immediately.

"Have you told Zijin about this?"

Yao Shiyun wiped the juice from her fingertips, hiding the slight disappointment in her voice: "Yes, but he has an operation tomorrow and may not have time to come."

However, Tao Zijin did not show up, but the flowers were there.

Yao Shiyun held the bouquet, posed, and took a photo with the statue in front of the library.

Yao Rong held the camera, found the right angle of light and shadow, and photographed Yao Shiyun.

"Okay."

Hearing Yao Rong's words, Yao Shiyun trotted to her side.

Yao Rong pulled up the photo for her to see.

Looking at this original photo, Yao Shiyun's eyes flashed with surprise.

This photo does not need to be retouched, and even does not need any additional filters.

In her mother's lens, she is exquisite and beautiful in every way.

Even the most professional photographers find it difficult to achieve such an effect.

Yao Shiyun looked at the photos again.

It turns out that this is what she looks like in her mother's eyes.

Yao Rong said, "Let's go take pictures somewhere else. It's too sunny here."

The two went to the coffee shop, library, teaching building and other places to take pictures. In the afternoon, Bo Shan, Ling Bai and Cen Jinge all came over to take pictures with Yao Shiyun and Zhou Miaomiao.

Yao Rong fulfilled his duties as a photographer.

Everyone took pictures until after five in the afternoon, and almost took pictures of all the more distinctive places in the school.

Yao Shiyun was surrounded by her good friends, smiling brightly.

"Mom, you must be tired." Yao Shiyun handed over a bottle of green tea with the cap screwed on.

"No. Let's go eat."

Yao Shiyun nodded and turned around to check her phone. Not seeing any message, she put the phone down again.

But just when she was disappointed, her phone rang.

Seeing the familiar name on the caller ID, Yao Shiyun picked up the phone: "Brother Zijin, have you finished the surgery?"

Tao Zijin on the other end of the phone was a little breathless: "Guess where I am now?" "Where

?" Yao Shiyun joked, "It can't be at A University."

"Yes, I'm at A University."

The voice in the phone overlapped with the voice in reality for a moment, and someone patted her shoulder.

Yao Shiyun turned her head suddenly and looked at Tao Zijin who suddenly appeared.

Tao Zijin calmed down and said with a smile: "I asked Aunt Yao where you were, and fortunately I caught up."

Yao Shiyun held up the phone blankly, and after a few seconds, she smiled: "I'm late, so I have to treat you to dinner."

Tao Zijin lowered his eyes and smiled back: "I am very happy."

Yao Rong pressed the shutter to record this moment of midsummer for them.
