Chapter 420 Pride and Prejudice 21



After the meeting, all shareholders and senior executives stood up and applauded Lin Dan. It was not until this moment that they realized why this woman could stand here and preside over the meeting and why she could win the favor of the president. What she relies on is not her beauty and figure, but her strong strength.

Lin Dan bowed repeatedly to express his gratitude, and was not proud that his plan had been recognized by everyone. She understood that this was just the beginning and there were more difficult tasks ahead.

Lei Jin walked up to the stage and shook hands with Lin Dan. He said in a warm voice, "Let's go have a meal together after the meeting. Invite everyone to come together. We can discuss various matters at the table."

"No, Mr. Lei, actually I have another project proposal to submit to you, so please give me two hours, I need to revise it. Also, since my proposal has been approved, the entire design department should operate at high speed. The R&D speed of the design department determines whether our products can fully enter the Chinese market on Double Eleven Day. It is necessary for us to hold another R&D meeting to re-determine the design ideas. And I think we still have too few designers, please recruit some outstanding talents as soon as possible to expand our lineup. You know, this new production model requires designers to constantly design new products in order to operate normally, and we need fresh blood. In addition, in order to promote the company's reputation, I also have a few immature opinions on advertising and publicity that I would like to discuss with you." Lin Dan took out a notebook and kept marking the various tasks to be carried out with a pen.

What else can Lei Jin do except nod? He knew what kind of person Lin Dan was better than anyone else. Her life is almost entirely focused on work, and she has no personal hobbies other than cooking, dressing herself up and taking care of her pets. She is a very self-disciplined person, which is completely opposite to her charming appearance.

Ming Guanghan stared at Lin Dan's notebook filled with words and couldn't help feeling a little ashamed. He originally thought that she was just a vase, but in fact, she was much better than him and could do much more. He could even be certain that if Lin Dan had not been transferred to the design department by the president, sooner or later, his position as special assistant would be replaced by her. Gold will shine wherever it goes, and this sentence is very appropriate in the workplace.

"Okay, it's 11:43 now. I'll go have lunch with the shareholders and senior executives first, and wait for you in the office at 2:30 pm. We'll go to the Design and R&D Department for a meeting later, and you'll preside over it as usual. Is this arrangement okay?" Lei Jin asked for Lin Dan's opinion while looking at his watch. He had not noticed at all that in the face of this person, his pride and arbitrariness had disappeared, and he was willing to give her the utmost respect.

Lin Dan took out his phone and looked at it, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll come to you on time at 2:30 to report my work. In addition, these are my requirements for new designers. Please recruit according to these conditions, okay?"

Lei Jin took the form and said carefully, "Okay, I'll notify HR and ask them to post the recruitment information immediately. In addition, if you have any particular candidates you like, you can also make a list and I'll ask the headhunter to negotiate with them."

"That's great. I'll make the list when I get back. Thank you, Mr. Lei." Lin Dan bowed to express his gratitude and also had a changed opinion of Lei Jin. When it comes to business, he has a strong sense of cooperation and is very good at listening to others, which is completely different from his attitude towards women. So his attribute is actually a workaholic, right? When it comes to work, everything has to give way.

Lin Dan had to admit that she liked this kind of leader.

However, Lei Jin, a workaholic, stared at her empty wrist and said something that had nothing to do with work: "You should wear a watch, which is both fashionable and convenient."

"Ah?" Lin Dan's thoughts failed to keep up with the boss's rhythm. She was stunned, and her charming face actually looked a little cute.

Lei Jin suddenly laughed softly and waved his hand, "No, I didn't say anything. Let's go, I'll take you down."

"Okay." Lin Dan immediately put away her dazed expression and followed him towards the elevator. Several major shareholders shouted with a smile: "Xiao Lin, where are you going? Lunch time is almost here. Come on, let's have a meal together. There are still many issues that we haven't discussed clearly. Let's sit down and continue talking."

Lei Jin knew too well what kind of people these people were like at the dinner table. As the focal person, Lin Dan would inevitably be forced to drink some wine even though her strength had been recognized by everyone.

Thinking of that scene, Lei Jin felt uncomfortable and immediately helped Lin Dan to refuse: "She has a project proposal to perfect and doesn't have time. Let's go, I'll go to dinner with you. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. I know this project proposal very well."

Lei Jin's methods in the business world are quite ruthless, and he is an extremely domineering person. R&R is a company he invested in independently, and even the Lei family cannot get involved. No matter what he says, these shareholders dare not refute it and just agree with a smile.

Lin Dan looked at Lei Jin with gratitude, then followed him and a group of senior executives into the elevator. The air vent of the elevator's air conditioner was facing where she was standing, continuously blowing cold air onto her head. Her face was not visible, she was naked. Goose bumps appeared on Lu's back. She was about to move to the side to avoid the cold wind, but a cedar-scented suit jacket suddenly fell on her shoulders. The slight warmth immediately penetrated her skin, relaxing every pore of her body.

Lin Dan looked at Lei Jin in surprise, having never expected that he would have such a gentlemanly side. No, maybe he was always such a gentleman, but he was just extra cold towards women who intended to pester him.

"Thank you, Mr. Lei." She moved closer to him and thanked him in a low voice.

"It's just a small favor." Lei Jin's voice was very low and gentle, totally different from the arrogance he had when they first met.

Lin Dan felt the remaining warmth of his suit jacket, and his impression of Lei Jin improved a little.

Several senior executives observed the president's unusually considerate behavior through the elevator door and couldn't help but exchange a knowing look. Who wouldn’t be tempted by such a beauty?

The elevator went down to the sixth floor. Lin Dan returned the coat to Lei Jin. After getting out of the elevator, she stood at the door, bowed slightly and watched them leave. Her manners have always been impeccable, and her every move is always graceful and elegant, which completely makes up for the shocking feeling brought by her overly gorgeous face.

Lei Jin stared at her without blinking until the elevator door closed completely.

After returning to his seat, Lin Dan turned on his computer to write a new business plan, trying to introduce the new concept of big data into the company's management mechanism. Only with the support of big data can the plan she proposed earlier be implemented smoothly.

The people in Group 2 felt extremely complicated when they heard the sound of Lin Dan typing on the keyboard. They really wanted to know why Lin Dan went in and out of the top floor twice, but they didn't dare to ask in person. Also, Zhu K'er has been fired. Who will replace the position of chief designer? It's impossible to let Lin Dan do it, right? Her design plan is indeed great, but she is just a newcomer in the workplace. Her resume is not impressive enough and her qualifications are not deep enough. The promotion from assistant designer to chief designer is a triple jump. The president will never make such a decision that cannot convince the public, right?

Everyone was thinking about this and that, and their mood was in turmoil. At this moment, Ding Ning walked in and said to Lin Dan in a cold voice: "Shall we go out and talk?"

"There's nothing to talk about. Everything is the company's decision. You and I no longer have the final say." Lin Dan replied without even raising his head.

Ding Ning was so angry that his face was distorted. He said word by word: "What do you think you are doing? You are stifling your own talent and the talent of others! Your mind is full of disgusting smell of money! You are not worthy of being a designer!" After saying that, he turned and left.

Lin Dan then raised her head, looked at his back and sighed. She certainly knew what she was doing. Although the so-called fast fashion is not plagiarism, it is not far off, so it can be called imitation. Nowadays. Whatever is popular, designers will design similar products as quickly as possible and then immediately launch them into the market. Although this can make a lot of money in a short period of time, it also limits the designer's creativity and imagination. Their thoughts are confined in boxes and cannot run freely. They have been reduced from artists to laborers, and this kind of imitative creation is bound to be criticized or even attacked by the fashion industry.

Ding Ning has high pursuit of fashion art and he hopes to become a leader and ruler of fashion. He originally thought that he could rise to the top of R&R like all the top designers. Make great achievements on the platform of point. But Lin Dan's plan ruined his ambitions. On this basis, the conflict between him and her is simply irreconcilable.

Realizing that he had made a new enemy, Lin Dan was not worried at all. She believes that the identities of artist and businessman are compatible. Who says imitation can’t create classics and lead trends? As long as the work is good enough, the designer can stand at the top of the fashion circle. The fashion industry is very complex, yet pure at the same time. As long as something is beautiful, they will tolerate it, and Lin Dan is confident that she can design wonderful works.

She lowered her head and continued to write the business plan. At this moment, Lei Jin walked in, holding a thermos bucket in one hand and an exquisite paper bag in the other. The bag was printed with the logo of one of LEI's most famous blue-blood brands.

"Boss, why are you here?" Lin Dan looked surprised.

The entire design and development department was in an uproar, but no one dared to step forward to say hello. Ding Ning saw Lei Jin coming to visit in person through the glass wall, and his expression suddenly became even uglier. He understood that Lin Dan's project proposal was worth tens of billions, so it was understandable that Lei Jin valued her more. Her say in the design department might have surpassed that of the design director.

"Boss Liu and I are having dinner at the restaurant downstairs. I packed a few dishes for you. You can eat before you work to avoid hurting your stomach." Lei Jin put the thermos bucket and paper bag on Lin Dan's desk, looked up at the air conditioner blowing towards her, and said gently, "I'm afraid you'll be cold, so I bought you a shawl."

"Thank you, Mr. Lei..." Lin Dan's tone was quite hesitant. She could accept the lunch, but the shawl was too expensive. As we all know, the products of this brand are ridiculously expensive. A pure cashmere shawl costs at least 10,000 or 20,000 yuan.

She was considering how to refuse, Lei Jin said gently: "You should know how much your project proposal is worth. The things I give you now are completely incomparable to it. If everything goes well, I will give you the reward you deserve after Double Eleven. Okay," he looked at his watch and chuckled, "Just work with peace of mind. I have to go downstairs. I'll wait for you at 2:30 pm."

"Okay, thank you, President." Since Lei Jin had said this, Lin Dan naturally could not refuse. She watched the tall and handsome man leave the office, then sat down and opened her lunch box. Behind her were people's whispers and jealous, suspicious and scrutinizing eyes, but she didn't care at all.

She has always been aware that if someone is not hated by others, he is a mediocre person.
