Chapter 427 Pride and Prejudice 28



Lin Dan was hugging the boss and talking on the phone. Li Tiantian had already opened the gift box and exclaimed, "Oh my God, Sister Lin, come and have a look. Isn't this the skirt you tried on yesterday? Oh, and these shoes too. I said at the time that this outfit suits you very well!"

When the deliverymen saw that the goods were delivered correctly, they left one after another. Lin Dan closed the door and went back to the living room. She was surprised to find that these skirts were all the ones she had tried on yesterday. She had also matched the accessories and shoes. Now they were delivered to her in sets. Was it a coincidence?

A hint of doubt flashed across Lin Dan's eyes, but he quickly dismissed the thought. It was impossible for Mr. Lei to monitor her every move, not to mention that the clothes she tried on were all new. If Mr. Lei wanted to give her a gift, it would definitely be a new product, so they would naturally run into each other.

After thinking about it, she calmed down and slowly looked through the clothes while holding the little boss.

Li Tiantian took out a skirt and urged: "Sister, go change into it and let me feast my eyes! Only you can wear this skirt tastefully!"

Lin Dan lowered her head to look at the frightened little boss. The little boss meowed, then jumped out of her arms on his own initiative, and returned to normal in just one second.

Lin Dan didn't feel like she was being fooled. Instead, she laughed out loud, rubbed Scheming Cat's head helplessly, and then entered the bedroom carrying a pile of skirts. Her aesthetic taste has always been very high, and the clothes she matches are very consistent with her temperament and figure. Whether it is a high-slit silk tight-fitting suspender dress or neutral-style wide-leg pants with a small suit, she wears them in a different style. The last skirt was a pure black starry sky skirt inlaid with diamonds. The skirt was elegant and flowing like a fairy, making Lin Dan look like a high-end dress that cost millions.

Li Tiantian and the little boss were both stunned, one with his mouth open and the other with eyes wide open, and they couldn't recover for a long time.

When Lin Dan changed back into casual clothes, Li Tiantian sighed sincerely: "Sister, it's a pity that you don't become a model!"

Lin Dan smiled without saying anything. The little tyrant immediately jumped into her arms and returned to his frightened and unable-to-take-care-alone appearance. It seemed to have Lin Dan in its grasp, and Lin Dan was indeed a cat slave, so reluctant to expose it that she pampered it instead, wishing she could pluck the stars and the moon from the sky for it.

Li Tiantian glared at the little boss sourly, but she didn't dare to provoke it again and could only go back to her room to work.

Lin Dan moved a pile of clothes back to the bedroom, matched them into sets, hung them up, and took pictures to avoid confusion. After the program team finalizes the shooting process, she arranges the order of wearing each set of clothes according to the shooting theme, making sure that she does not wear the same clothes for each recording. As long as it is related to work, she will arrange everything carefully and meticulously to eliminate the chance of making mistakes.

Looking at her busy figure, the little boss's eyes flashed with an extremely complicated light.

…………

The next day, Lin Dan was the first one to get up. She was stunned when she passed the living room, because the rose that her senior gave her had lost all its petals for some reason, leaving only a bare stem.

She picked up a petal and looked at it. She found traces of cat's claws on it and couldn't help laughing. Well, since it was the little boss who did the bad thing, she would just pretend that she didn't see it. She swept the petals, poured them into the garbage bag, and threw them downstairs.

When Li Tiantian got up, she didn't notice that something was missing from the house. The little boss secretly glanced at Lin Dan a few times, and when he found out that she was playing dumb, he rubbed her face in a sticky manner, and his voice was as proud as could be.

From that day on, Lin Dan began to run between the TV station and the company, but she never missed the design seminar at 9 o'clock every morning, and the design drafts she submitted were always refined and beautiful. Even so, Ding Ning never selected her work and even criticized her harshly at regular meetings.

He couldn't find any design flaws in Lin Dan's work, so he brought up the colors and lines. But everyone knows that every designer has his or her own personal style and aesthetics in the use of colors and the treatment of lines, and aesthetic issues are related to ideas, but have nothing to do with the quality of the work. Ding Ning is deliberately looking for trouble, to put it bluntly, she is picking stones from eggs.

Everyone understood this, but no one spoke up for Lin Dan. She and Ding Ning are the chief designer and lead designer respectively. The fight between them is like a fight between gods. It is better for little ghosts not to get involved, so as not to be implicated.

Li Tiantian was not afraid of being implicated. She almost stood up several times and scolded Ding Ning in front of everyone, but was held down by Lin Dan every time. She listened to Ding Ning's criticism of her very calmly, then revised the design draft, submitted it again, and listened to his criticisms again.

Lin Dan knew that he was seeking revenge for personal gain, but given his authority and status, she had to endure it.

After three days of forbearance, Lin Dan handed a stack of design drafts to Li Tiantian before leaving home, and reminded her: "Tiantian, mix these drafts with yours and hand them in. Do you dare?"

Li Tiantian was a little confused at first, but after reading the manuscript clearly, she felt dizzy. She knew that Sister Lin was very talented, but she didn't know she could achieve this level in fashion design. She changed her previous elegant, luxurious, high-end and exquisite style and designed five sets of cute and girlish dresses. The colors and accessories she used were the ones Li Tiantian usually liked, but the brushstrokes were more delicate and the designs were more exquisite. It was as if Li Tiantian had suddenly become enlightened overnight and upgraded her work in all aspects.

Yes, anyone who sees them will firmly believe that these are Li Tiantian's works. They are all tinged with her strong girlish style, but there is not a trace of Lin Dan. This shows how profound Lin Dan's design skills are, she can easily control any style of clothing!

"Sister, you are so awesome, aren't you? I almost thought I drew these works while sleepwalking last night! What I want is this kind of skirt that is both cute and high-end, but my skills are not deep enough, and I can't draw this feeling! Sister, are you trying to play tricks on Ding Ning? Okay, watch me!" Li Tiantian immediately mixed several manuscripts into her own works.

Lin Dan said slowly, "People's patience is limited. It's been three days. If I don't fight back, Ding Ning will think I'm a coward. He knew that my works were excellent, but he rejected them out of his own selfishness. His actions damaged the interests of the company. He is a qualified artist, but not a qualified employee. Tiantian, don't be afraid of his revenge. I have submitted an application to President Lei, and I will transfer you to Group 2 today."

Li Tiantian was not afraid of being retaliated by Ding Ning. She and Ming Guanghan were good friends, so who was she afraid of? However, being transferred to Group 2 was an unexpected surprise, causing her to scream repeatedly.

The little boss, who had been so angry at Ding Ning that he couldn't eat for several days, also snored with satisfaction. It knew that Lin Dan would always find a way, and she was never the kind of woman who would sit and wait for others to protect her.

…………

The regular meeting was held on time at nine o'clock as usual. After everyone sat down, they looked at Ding Ning and then at Lin Dan. Although they tried their best to hide it, they couldn't help but reveal some joy in anticipation of a good show. These two people have been fighting for three days, and Ding Ning has always maintained an overwhelming advantage. Who can blame him for being the head of the design and development department who has the final say?

Today was no exception. As soon as Lin Dan handed in the design draft, he was criticized from all aspects and said bluntly: "...If I were you, I would resign from R&R, go abroad to study for a few more years and then come back. With all due respect, your work is not up to par at all."

"If my works are not up to standard, then whose works can be up to standard? Director Ding, are you deliberately suppressing newcomers?" Lin Dan asked back.

"I never suppress newcomers. As long as the works are good enough, I will always give everyone an equal opportunity. It's just that your skills are not as good as others." To prove his words, Ding Ning flipped through the works of several newcomers, selected five manuscripts, and praised: "Look at them, these works are very smart and the designs are very clever. They have a chance to become the best sellers this year. My vision is always accurate. If I say it will work, it will definitely work." He looked at the name on the folder and pondered, "Li Tiantian, right? You are very good. These works have passed. Later, you can make a table of process requirements and cost accounting and give it to me. This production line will be your responsibility from now on."

All the designers took turns to appreciate the design drafts and expressed their sincere admiration.

Li Tiantian raised her hand and said timidly, "Um, Director Ding, I'm sorry, these manuscripts actually belong to Sister Lin. We are roommates and share a desk. We seem to have mixed up when we were packing up this morning. Look at the lower left corner of the manuscript. Is there a line of English? That's Sister Lin's English name."

Ding Ning's smug expression froze in an instant. The other designers were all stunned, and the sound of slapping people in the face seemed to linger in their ears.

"This is impossible! These manuscripts are obviously in your style!" After a few seconds, Ding Ning slammed the table hard.

Li Tiantian shrank her neck with an apologetic expression. At the same time, Lin Dan casually picked up a piece of white paper and drew a design on the spot. The style was exactly the same as the previous five, but the details were more exquisite. The strong girlish style and bright and cheerful color scheme made people fall in love with it at first sight.

She threw the manuscript in front of Ding Ning and said slowly: "Thank you for your appreciation, Mr. Ding. I will make the plate-making drawings, production process sheets and cost accounting sheets later." She didn't say a single sarcastic word, but it was enough to tear off Ding Ning's face and throw it on the ground to step on it. There is nothing more embarrassing than saying you are unfair and taking revenge one moment, and then praising your enemy's work to the sky the next.

Ding Ning pressed his hands hard on the table, with veins popping out on the back of his hands, which showed how turbulent the situation was in his heart. After a long silence, he turned to look at Li Tiantian with a sinister look in his eyes: "You guys teamed up to trick me? You..."

Before he could finish his words, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and Lei Jin walked in first, carrying a trolley case, followed by an old Caucasian woman with gray hair, a high nose and broad eyebrows. She muttered in French: "Oh my God, Lei, do you want to tire me to death? You brought me to the company right after I got off the plane. Aren't you afraid that you will break my old bones? Well, well, I also want to see the level of your new employees."

As a designer, eight out of ten people present knew French and naturally knew what the old woman was talking about. Even if they didn't understand, just seeing her familiar face was enough to terrify everyone. The visitor was Fiona Young, LEI's lifelong designer, who had served as chief designer for four blue-blood brands and was hailed as the queen of the fashion circle. Mr. Lei invited her here to guide everyone and test everyone's level. However, Ding Ning, an internationally renowned designer, is no match for her!
