Chapter 421 Establishing a Jewelry Design Studio

With so many orders at once, Lu Changxiao discussed with Sister Lan and decided to open a jewelry design studio.

Lu Changxiao has a lot of work experience, so opening a studio is a piece of cake for her.

Sister Lan started looking for a house, recruiting designers, and purchasing equipment.

For a newly opened studio like this, Lu Changxiao didn't think she could recruit experienced designers, so she planned to find two or three senior students in school to help her complete the work.

When she came back from school, she heard Sister Lan say that two designers had been recruited, and they still had two years of work experience. Lu Changxiao went to meet the two curiously.

...

Katie and William were cleaning the office when they saw Sister Lan leading Lu Changxiao over. They guessed that they were their bosses and greeted them politely.

Lu Changxiao asked them to stop what they were doing and asked them why they chose a small studio like hers when they had work experience.

Katie said, "I used to work in a jewelry company, and I was never given the chance to design something. I did odd jobs for a year.

One time, a customer liked the bracelet on my hand and asked me to design one. After I made it, the customer liked it very much, but my supervisor said the bracelet was his and I was just helping.

After that, my supervisor gave me a lot of orders, but none of the works were signed by me after they were completed.

In order to gain more practice, I worked under my supervisor for a year, and then I saw that your studio was recruiting, so I came.

Will you let me complete the work independently?"

Lu Chang smiled and said, "As long as the customer designates you, you are the main person in charge."

William's situation is similar to Katie's. He has talent, but is not valued, and his credit is taken away from him.

Lu Changxiao said, "Since you have chosen my studio, I will try my best to take more orders. I have to go to school and will not have much time in the studio, so I will trouble you two a lot."

Katie said, "The studio has just been established and needs to be promoted vigorously. I suggest designing an attractive poster and distributing it at the intersection."

Lu Changxiao said, "We will do this later. Let's finish the orders on hand first."

William wondered, "The studio hasn't opened yet, but we have received orders?"

Lu Changxiao nodded, "Not only have we received orders, but there are quite a lot of them."

Katie was overjoyed when she heard this, "I feel like I've found a treasure!"

William grinned, "Is this a dream?"

Lu Changxiao took out a document from her bag. It was the information provided to her by Winnie, which recorded the customized jewelry and their requirements and ideas.

Katie saw that there were more than a dozen orders, and excitedly asked with the documents in her hand: "Can I pick my favorite jewelry to start designing?"

Lu Changxiao nodded: "You study it first, design a sketch, and then contact the customer. If the customer is satisfied with your design concept, we can start working."

...

Ellie heard senior students discussing Lu Changxiao's recruitment.

When she heard that Lu Changxiao opened a jewelry design studio, she thought it was a rumor.

Seeing that some seniors were discussing about signing up, Ellie stepped forward to stop them: "She is a freshman, how can she have the ability to open a studio? Don't be fooled by her."

After Winnie said that at school, Ellie had become famous in the design circle, but it was just a bad reputation.

The senior student glanced at her and said, "You want to trick us not to go, then go and sign up yourself."

"Good intentions don't go well, you'll know when you get fooled."

When he arrived at the classroom door, Ai Li saw many senior students surrounding Lu Chang Xiao to sign up.

Lu Chang Xiao apologized, "Thank you for your trust in me, but the studio has already recruited two employees. Because it has just been established, the workload is not large, and there is no need to recruit too many people."

Ai Li said disdainfully, "You really opened a studio, but I advise everyone not to go to a newly opened studio. It may not receive an order in a year. If you go, she will still pay you. Isn't it a loss of money?"

Lu Chang Xiao said, "No matter how much I lose, I will not be unable to pay the assistant's salary."

"You..." Ai Li was so angry that he couldn't speak after being poked in the sore spot by Lu Chang Xiao.

Lisa came over and asked Ellie for money when she saw her: "Ellie, you always say you'll pay me tomorrow. It's been so long. Are you going to default on me?"

Ellie said unhappily: "Who owes you that little money? I'm just not in a convenient position. I'll definitely give it to you tomorrow."

Lisa didn't believe it: "How many times have you said this? Can you change it?"

The students who entered the classroom looked at Ellie.

Ellie felt so embarrassed that she glared at Lisa and walked into the classroom angrily.

Lisa asked Lu Changxiao if she also wanted to apply for a job in the studio.

Lu Changxiao said the same thing again, the staff had been fully recruited.

...

On the weekend, Ellie went to work at a fast food restaurant and saw Katie and William come in for dinner.

She had paid attention to Lu Changxiao's studio and knew that these two were employees of the studio, so she deliberately walked up to the two and asked them if they were busy at work.

Katie was eating fried chicken and answered, "Of course I'm busy. Even though we just opened a studio, business is good. I have to study customer information when I go home at night."

Ellie said, "Your boss is squeezing your time after work like this, you should sue her."

Katie looked up at Ellie and said, "Why should I sue our boss? She gave the order to me to complete. I just want to design better works to satisfy the customers. These are all my own will and have nothing to do with our boss."

"I just kindly remind you not to work overtime for a long time. It's not good for your health."

William said, "Thank you for your concern, but we enjoy it."

"Is it because your boss has very high requirements for the work, so you need to work overtime?"

William said, "It's normal to have high requirements. Besides, it's not the boss who requires us to do so. We work so hard because we want to present better works to our customers. How come you say that the boss is exploiting us? You

can't understand how happy it is when the customers are satisfied with the jewelry we design."

"Of course I understand. I'm also a student majoring in jewelry design."

Hearing that it was the same major as theirs, the two talked to Elido for a few words.

...

After completing the orders from the clients introduced by Winnie, Lu Changxiao was ready to start the business.

After communicating with Winnie, Lu Changxiao wanted to invite the clients to pick up the jewelry on the opening day to build momentum for the studio.

Winnie readily agreed and said that she would also attend the opening day.

Lu Changxiao simply invited Winnie to be the ribbon-cutting guest.

Winnie said she was happy to do so.
