The problem is that Tang Hu's output is still too small to support a fashion show.
If we just fill in the numbers, the quality will inevitably suffer. If we add works by other designers, it will be a bit of a dilemma. The only one who can work well with Tang Hu is Xu Jingye.
Xu Jingye's personality is too distinctive; he might very well turn the show from a supporting role into a main one, ousting Tang Hu. Then the fashion show would be meaningless.
“I think we can take the works of the design class students and present them to the world as a new generation. Also, the two who won awards last time are growing very quickly in the design studio.” Xu Xiaoqing’s suggestion to cultivate new talents from the rear gave Qin Xiaoyu a direction.
The works in the design class have a very scattered style. The students have just passed the beginner stage. They have a lot of inspiration, but they lack self-control and experience.
However, there is one novel point: among these people, in a year or two, there is a high possibility that a second Tang Hu will emerge, and it is just the right time to give him a push.
Of the three people discovered during the last Grand Prix, only Xu Jingye has developed the best; the other two have never left their hometown.
Xu Jingye once joked that if that plane crashed, he would wipe out the entire design studio of Riyue Apparel. This was a joke, but also a warning.
The current designers are becoming increasingly skilled and have all stepped onto the international stage. However, it is essential to cultivate successors and ensure continuity for the company's continued development.
The most terrifying thing is the discontinuity in fashion brand design.
Entering the 1990s, an era of rapid information development, if these top designers cannot keep up with the trends or hit a bottleneck, Sun Moon Apparel cannot afford to wait.
Only with a constant stream of talented individuals can the vitality of Riyue Apparel be infinitely strengthened.
Qin Xiaoyu asked Master Liang and Xu Xiaoqing to collaborate on compiling a portion of the new designer's work and submitting it to the factory for prototyping in preparation for their trip to Hong Kong.
She has now made arrangements for things back in her hometown in Northeast China and is preparing to return home.
With all this busyness, New Year's Day is just around the corner. This time, Qin Xiaoyu has stayed at home the longest. Her cousin-in-law is very reluctant to let her go, but she can't stop her from leaving.
Sister-in-law Ge wished she could bring all her family's wealth, packing it up in big and small bags.
He gave Zhou Xing's mother instructions one by one, but A Lei, worried that she would be tired, simply said to take less.
"Take these, they're all good stuff, the kids will need them." Zhou Xing's mother couldn't bear to part with any of them, always feeling that things from her hometown were better, the flavors of the dishes were much richer, so she brought them all.
This family reunion dinner was a rare treat, and since there's no guarantee when the next one will be, everyone was present. Brother Chen and Yao Mei were also invited.
Uncle somehow persuaded her to bring Xiaoyu's maternal grandmother along. Out of respect for Xiaoyu's mother, Zhou Xing's mother was exceptionally hospitable.
Grandma Xiaoyu was still a little awkward. These were all enemies before, and now they were only superficially on good terms, not really close.
She sat on the sofa with a stern face, not saying much. Now, her sister-in-law had honed her emotional intelligence in the business world. She took Xiao Jiajia from Zhou Xing's mother's arms, pressed her into her grandmother's arms, and said, "Call her Madam."
“Oh, right, Mom’s a lady now,” Auntie exclaimed in surprise.
When Hanhan was born, Xiaoyu's maternal grandmother had already become a wife, but at that time she ignored Xiaoyu completely. She acted as if the two children never existed.
Now, Jiajia's situation is different; she seems to be enjoying the novelty.
Grandma Xiaoyu was also somewhat moved when she looked at the chubby little boy.
"I heard you almost lost the child a few days ago? You must have suffered a lot, the child has lost some weight." Grandma Xiaoyu's nitpicking instincts resurfaced.
These elderly people all have a quirk: they pick on other people's children because they're thin. This makes them seem like they know how to take care of children, and it also serves to put down the mother's sharp edge.
"It's all my fault for not keeping a close eye on things," my cousin's wife said with a face full of guilt. "Xiaoyu and his wife don't blame me, but I'm so ashamed that I wish I could just disappear into a hole in the ground and never come out again."
"How can we blame you? Sister-in-law, what are you saying! We lost our child ourselves, and you're blaming others? Are you crazy?" Qin Xiaoyu pushed her sister-in-law and scolded her.
"Our grandson is so lucky. Didn't that crazy woman kill one of them? He fell into her hands unharmed. We're just lucky. Once we get through this ordeal, everything will be fine from now on." Grandma Xiaoyu knew quite a lot.
“During the time when Xiaojia was missing, my mother couldn’t eat or sleep. She kept asking me to find out if the child had been found. She would urge me several times a day. If I didn’t go out and ask, she would get angry with me. She was so anxious that she got several blisters on her lips…” My aunt was saying this when she was glared at by Grandma Xiaoyu and stopped.
Qin Xiaoyu felt a warmth in her heart. It seemed that this lady had put her heart into it, but was just too proud to show it.
"Aunt, I have to go back now, and Uncle also has to go out often. If you need anything, just come and ask my sister-in-law, she can handle it." Qin Xiaoyu gave her aunt a few more instructions.
"Don't worry, we get along very well. I'm retired now, and I often go to the mall when I have free time. She always invites me to her office for a chat."
“I told you I’d let my aunt be my office manager, she’s just sitting at home doing nothing anyway.”
My cousin's wife chimed in, saying that my aunt used to be the office director at the factory. She was very capable, with excellent writing skills and was good at writing reports, but she was too honest and never got promoted.
"Look, give me a leisurely job, I'll go to work too," Grandma Xiaoyu said, making everyone laugh.
"Uncle, I'm leaving the industrial park to you." Qin Xiaoyu had secured the land; what she did with it was now up to her uncle.
"Okay, don't worry, all my men are highly skilled." The uncle assured him.
"Haha, that's right. I've learned a lot from my uncle. They say old ginger is spicier." Captain Chen is now his uncle's capable assistant.
"Besides the industrial park, there's another big project next year. The development of the south of the city is basically finalized." My uncle's business is getting bigger and bigger.
"Let your eldest brother work with Uncle too. The collection points for mountain products are all set up now, so we don't have to worry about it for a single day," said Sister-in-law Ge.
"It's no big deal, come on over, we need a driver." Captain Chen readily agreed.
“Great, I can drive a construction vehicle.” Brother Ge was delighted to hear this.
"We've got you here to drive the construction vehicle. The company just got two new BMWs. We don't trust young people. You come here; your family will trust you."
"I'm driving a BMW right off the bat? Haha!" Brother Ge, a lifelong car enthusiast, couldn't stop laughing when he heard this.
Qin Xiaoyu listened to their conversation silently, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Character is character.
Given the relationship between the Ge family and her, if she wanted to go to her uncle's place, most people without much influence would probably demand an official position and wouldn't take it if the salary wasn't high enough. Look at Brother Ge, how humble he is. If he does a good job, do you think her uncle would mistreat him?
Everyone enjoyed the meal and chatted until midnight before parting ways.
