The employees of Peak Group's design department are all well-known designers, and many of them have won awards at the Milan Fashion Design Show. Therefore, they are all full of confidence in this kind of event.
Lina patiently replied, "There are five spots in total."
“Only five!”
Everyone was deeply shocked.
There are fifteen employees in the entire department, but only five are shortlisted. This means that everyone has to go through a life-and-death battle before becoming the dark horse that stands out.
A colleague who started from a relatively low point said disappointedly, "Then I'm afraid I won't be able to participate in this year's Milan Fashion Design Competition."
In order not to undermine everyone's confidence, Lina added, "So for this event, it's all about your ability. But colleagues who didn't make the finals shouldn't be discouraged. You can keep trying next time."
That’s right, in Peak Group, having no strength means having no chance.
What you need here is not only rich qualifications and excellent talents, but of course most of the time you also need to have outstanding strength.
"It's not just you. I'm afraid some people without achievements will have no chance at all."
The person who said this was Lily.
Lily has been at Peak Group for a year. Although she is ambitious, she has made many achievements. In addition, she not only has a good academic background, but also studied in Milan for a period of time, which makes her leaders very happy.
So when Manager Lan was still there, he particularly valued Lily and was willing to spend time helping Lily create opportunities.
Xia Zhichu naturally knew that Lily was referring to herself, but she didn't care. She had the lowest starting point and was not afraid of what others said.
However, her silence made Lily even more aggravated, and she started to say all kinds of harsh words.
"I'd like to advise some people not to try too hard if they know they won't make the finals, lest they end up losing miserably."
Zhao Sichun, who was sitting silently on the side, looked at his colleagues' hostility towards Xia Zhichu, with a smug smile on his face.
But now was not the time for her to perform, so she just watched the show quietly without making any sound.
Just when everyone was about to laugh at Xia Zhichu's joke, Lina looked at Xia Zhichu and gave her a comforting look.
Then she clapped her hands to signal everyone to be quiet, "In addition to what I just said, I have some good news to announce."
Zhao Sichun thought Lina was about to introduce herself, so she proudly lifted her hair and showed a smug expression.
Unexpectedly, Lina stood up, projected the certificate of honor from her computer onto the screen, and proudly announced, "Congratulations to our colleague Xia Zhichu. She has been selected for the Milan Fashion Show. Her design, 'Derailment,' will be displayed at the Milan Fashion Show."
When these words were spoken, the whole audience was stunned.
no……
Is there any chance to participate in the Milan Fashion Show? Don’t you have to go through the quarterly show screening?
But why did Xia Zhichu directly skip over the level and seize the opportunity?
Lily looked at the nomination certificate on the screen with an incredible expression in her eyes.
Even Zhao Sichun was quite surprised. She knew a little about the rules of Peak Group's quarterly show.
Of course, the activities of the Milan Fashion Show are also very clear.
Even if some designers work hard all their lives, their designs will never appear at the Milan Exhibition. However, Xia Zhichu, a newcomer, designed works that were recognized by the Milan Exhibition.
This is simply shocking.
Lina saw through everyone's thoughts and smiled confidently. "Please take a look at Xia Zhichu's work and then decide whether she is qualified to be shortlisted for the Milan Fashion Show."
After saying that, Lina projected Xia Zhichu's work "Derailment".
So far, Lina is the only one who has seen this work.
I thought Xia Zhichu’s last work was her peak, but I didn’t expect that she was so talented and could design even more amazing works.
This painting "Infidelity" incorporates elements of modern clothing, but boldly uses bright red to highlight the theme. The key is the hollow design on the back, which is embroidered with a proud peacock, highlighting the personality traits of the cheater.
It can be said that if the total score is 100, Xia Zhichu's work can get a high score of 95 points.
Not only was Lina attracted at first sight, but even Lily was unwilling to believe that a newcomer like Xia Zhichu could design such an excellent work.
At that moment, she felt as if her design was as unbearable to look at as garbage.
Seeing that no one was saying anything, Lina smiled and said to everyone, "Being a newbie doesn't mean you're inferior. As long as you're willing to work hard and have ambition, you can still shine."
Although it was her idea that Xia Zhichu's work was shortlisted for the Milan Fashion Show, Si Mochen also used some of his connections to ensure Xia Zhichu's successful selection.
But it is undeniable that Xia Zhichu is good enough and she is fully qualified to win this honor.
Of course, a big reason why Lina chose to announce the news today was because of Zhao Sichun's arrival.
Si Mochen contacted her last night, briefly explained the situation, and told her to protect Xia Zhichu.
The president has spoken, so as a subordinate and his lover, how could she dare to disobey?
Knowing that the three of them had a good relationship, and guessing that Zhao Sichun would embarrass Xia Zhichu as soon as she arrived, Lina contacted Milan's friends and specially issued an honorary certificate for Xia Zhichu.
On the one hand, it is to affirm Xia Zhichu's ability, and on the other hand, it is also to protect Xia Zhichu. Of course, the biggest purpose is to tell all colleagues in the design department that although Xia Zhichu is a newcomer, her ability is not inferior to any professional designer.
Lily was very unwilling to accept this. She was the best person in the design department and the most respected one before. Now all the limelight was snatched away by Xia Zhichu.
Of course, the most jealous person is Zhao Sichun. She thought she was the protagonist of today's meeting, but since the meeting started, Lina has been focusing on Xia Zhichu's work.
She obviously lost her patience and was about to remind Lina of her existence when Lina turned her eyes to her.
Zhao Sichun indicated with her eyes that she was the president's wife.
But Lina turned a blind eye and continued to talk about some irrelevant topics. Only five minutes before the end of the meeting did she formally introduce her to everyone.
Of course, the title she used was 'new colleague in the design department' instead of 'President's wife', which made Zhao Sichun even more dissatisfied.
"Lina, watch your words, I'm from the president's office!"
"I'm sorry, this is the Design Department. If Miss Zhao feels that my address is inappropriate, please go back to the President's Office. Our Design Department speaks based on strength, regardless of who the person is!"
“You…”
Zhao Sichun didn't expect that Lina would give her a cold shoulder on the first day, and she was so angry that her eyebrows raised.
