Chapter 1060: Winners Take All (Part 9)
"Ye Yao, we have all seen the news, so your problem is solved, right?"
Ye Yao, Wei Feng and Cheng Xia sat together, Ruan Kai was there too, but there was no sign of Wang Song and Qi Zhen.
She nodded. "Yes, it's over. Are the two masters adapting well in Fengcheng? Why don't you see Master Wang?"
"We have adapted to it. We have also been to Fengcheng for a few days. Although the city here is not big, the local customs, architecture and houses are quite unique.
As for Lao Wang, he went to repay the favor."
Wei Feng made a joke at the end.
Ye Yao looked confused and didn't understand at all.
At this time, Ruan Kai took the initiative to explain to her, "The boss of Mu Jin Clothing came to visit Uncle Wang a few days ago and gave him a set of priceless antique tea sets.
Uncle Wang agreed to go over there and give her some advice."
"So he took Qi Zhen with him, but he didn't know you would come today, otherwise he would definitely not have left." Wei Feng added.
"Are you talking about Guo Suya?"
When Ye Yao heard that Mu Jin was making clothes, his eyes suddenly became deeper.
"Yes, that's her. She said she's a good friend of yours. Is that true?"
Since this person was mentioned, Wei Feng couldn't help but ask more questions.
Ye Yao smiled and said, "We only met once, and it wasn't a pleasant experience."
Wei Feng and Cheng Xia looked at each other and naturally understood everything.
"You can't blame Lao Wang. Guo Suya is really good at pleasing others and her tactics are extraordinary."
Cheng Xia explained for Wang Song that if Guo Suya and Ye Yao did not have a good relationship, then it would be inappropriate for Wang Song to go there now.
Ye Yao didn't care at all, "Well, Guo Suya is indeed extraordinary."
"You mean..." Ruan Kai doesn't like to guess, so when he encounters such questions, he will ask clearly.
"Of course it's her social skills, but that has nothing to do with us."
Ye Yao didn't take Guo Suya seriously at all. If Mu Jin Garment only relied on "gimmicks" to develop, how far could it go?
"Ye Yao, I heard from Master Wang that President Mu gave you all his design manuscripts?"
After chatting, Wei Feng got down to business.
Speaking of this, even he was envious.
Chairman Mu's manuscript is priceless to them.
"Yes."
There is nothing to hide about this.
"Ye Yao, I have a suggestion for you. You must study President Mu's manuscript carefully. Or after you get married and before you participate in the international designer competition, you can go to President Mu to learn from him and study for a while."
Wei Feng's expression was more serious than ever before, and when he mentioned the international designer competition, there was an obvious hint of helplessness in his tone.
Ye Yao understood what he meant, but didn't understand what he meant.
"Master Wei, is there any problem with the International Designer Competition?"
This was the first time she saw him look like this.
"Didn't you understand?"
Wei Feng was a little surprised to hear her ask this. He thought she already knew a lot about this competition.
Ye Yao was a little embarrassed. Ever since she came back from Beijing, she had been busy with various things. Until now, she really hadn't taken the International Designer Competition too seriously.
Since it is a competition, the process must be similar.
But now hearing Wei Feng ask this, she really didn't know how to tell the truth.
"I've been so busy lately..."
Wei Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. If it were someone else, they would have been eager to do their homework a long time ago. But this girl...
I'm afraid if he hadn't specifically mentioned it today, no one would take it seriously when the game is approaching.
Cheng Xia and Ruan Kai were in the same situation, looking helpless.
"This international designer competition is really important to China because for four consecutive years, none of our participating designers have made it to the finals."
Wei Feng's expression became serious. This was really not the situation they wanted to see.
Nowadays, the international status of Chinese designers has almost reached the bottom level.
Ye Yao was obviously stunned for a moment, extremely surprised.
She had never thought that it would be so bad? ! "You don't have to look like that. It's true. Ever since President Mu and your Uncle Cheng, China's design circle has begun to show a decadent situation, and it has even been getting worse year by year.
No matter how our Designers Association selects, our country's outstanding designers still perform unsatisfactorily on the international stage.
It wasn't until this year that you, Qi Zhen, and Ruan Kai finally gave us old guys a glimmer of hope.
If you fail to advance to the finals this year, we in China may not even be qualified to participate next year.
If that happens, it will be a devastating blow to China’s design industry.”
Wei Feng sighed heavily at the end.
It's not that I want to put too much pressure on them, but the burden they shoulder is indeed heavier than ever before.
"How could this happen? Could it be that in the past four years, the capabilities of domestic designers have become so poor?"
Ye Yao found it a little unbelievable.
She didn't dare to say anything about others, but she was very clear about the strength of her master and the other three.
"In fact, we can't blame them entirely. The design style and concept in China are different from those in Western countries. Add to that the cultural differences, including the understanding of the topic, and it is inevitable that this problem will arise."
As Cheng Xia has participated in the competition herself, she has a lot to say on this matter.
Ye Yao frowned slightly. She could understand all of this. After all, she was also a top figure in this field before.
“The judges of the international design competition are all Westerners, and all the topics given to participating designers are in the same language. They do not allow designers to bring their own translators.
All responsible translations are provided by the competition.
So even the slightest deviation in communication can make a huge difference.”
"So that's how it is."
Ye Yao now fully understands why Chinese designers are in their current predicament.
If we go back a few years, there were very few designers in our country. At that time, most of them were probably called tailors or clothing makers.
And these are usually skills passed down from ancestors, or everyone starts out as an apprentice.
Those who are truly educated will not choose such an industry. In addition, the international designer competition seems to have a clear age limit.
As a fashion designer, I have a narrow vision and my thinking is not in line with international standards. In addition, I don’t speak the language when participating in the competition. This is my biggest disadvantage. It would be a miracle if I could get good results.
