In the department head's office.
The conversation continued.
Although the department head liked Meng Zhen, he had to consider Teacher Judy's face.
So he no longer insisted on recommending Meng Zhen.
Secretary Li said, "That's it. Teacher Zhu, please select a few students with outstanding academic performance to serve as your assistants. Form a team and strive to come up with two outfit designs within this week. Then we can show them to the Prime Minister's wife."
There are only two months left before my visit to the United States.
If all six outfits are designed and produced originally, the time will be very tight.
"Don't worry, Secretary Li, we will definitely do our best." Judy was very confident. With her many years of experience in the American fashion industry, designing several dresses was no problem at all.
And tomorrow, her favorite student in the United States will come to China to study on exchange.
Joining this team at that time will be like adding wings to a tiger!
Outside the door.
Hearing that the matter was basically settled, Meng Zhen thought for a moment and did not rush to knock on the door and fight for himself.
Since Secretary Li asked for two sets of designs within this week, he probably didn't know Judy's ability and wanted to test her.
It would be better for me to come up with two sets of designs within this time, and then let my strength speak for itself.
Having made up his mind, Meng Zhen turned and left.
the next day.
Judy began to have one-on-one conversations with several classmates in the class.
Meng Zhen was also among them.
She didn't understand. He had clearly denied her in front of Secretary Li yesterday, so why did he suddenly come to her again?
She wanted to see what Judy was up to!
At this moment, there were only two people left in the classroom.
Zhu Di first briefly introduced the background of the visit project to Meng Zhen.
Then, her tone suddenly became heavy:
"Mr. Meng, I admire you very much, but——"
"Even though I strongly recommended you to Secretary Li, she still felt you were inexperienced and doubted your ability to handle such an important project."
“So, you have to prove yourself!
Three days, I'll give you three days to design two outfits for the Prime Minister's wife. Let your strength speak for itself!
I hope you will live up to my expectations of you.”
Judy patted Meng Zhen's shoulder, still speaking in a mixture of Chinese and English, with an intimidating expression.
Meng Zhen looked nervous. "Thank you, Teacher Zhu, for your affirmation of me. But, but in three days, I'm afraid I won't be able to complete the task and disappoint you. How about you find another student..."
If she hadn't happened to overhear the conversation in the dean's office yesterday,
I'm afraid I really have to be grateful to Judy at this moment.
Then try your best to come up with your own design within three days.
What a pity... She is not a fool.
Unexpectedly, Meng Zhen would refuse. Judy was surprised and said, "This is a great opportunity for practice! I'm very optimistic about you!"
"I know three days is a bit tight. Let me ask Secretary Li to get five days."
Judy did not give up lobbying.
From three days to five days? Why is it earlier than the time Secretary Li set?
unless……
After thinking about it carefully, Meng Zhen understood.
She still looked like she was about to refuse:
"I, I...I'm sorry, teacher. Let's give this opportunity to other students."
Seeing that she still refused to agree, Judy finally gave in:
"One week! I'm going to give you one week, no longer."
Meng Zhen thought about it and agreed hesitantly.
"Okay, go back and create. The teacher is looking forward to your work!"
Judy looked at Meng Zhen's back as he left, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
She knew that the department head admired Meng Zhen very much and would definitely find an opportunity to recommend him to Secretary Li.
Humph, a director of an art department knows what design is?
Not to mention that Meng Zhen is just a freshman and has never even left the country. What international works can he design?
Because of this, she deliberately asked Meng Zhen to complete the design draft alone within a week.
When the time comes, I will put it together with my own work and the difference will be obvious.
He can slap the department head in the face without making any noise!
On the other hand, even if Meng Zhen could produce good work, he would hand it over to himself first.
When the time comes, I will just take down the work and copy the essential parts.
Meng Zhen can’t even get anything out of it, and he still wants to participate in the project? He’s dreaming!
At the same time, Capital Airport.
A plane coming from the United States is slowly landing.
Xu Lina herself could not have imagined that a while ago she had wished she would never set foot in China again.
This time I came back willingly.
The last time she returned to China, she and her elder brother were involved in a spy incident.
It was only later when I read the newspaper that I realized that I had been used by a woman named Li Jia.
And the man she saved was not her son, but a victim like her.
Fortunately, I have a US citizenship, and with the help of the embassy, I explained everything to the National Security Bureau.
Only then did he return to the United States smoothly.
After returning home, Xu Lina found that she was still thinking about the man she had saved.
She asked someone she knew in China and found out that the other person was from the capital and worked in a geological unit.
It just so happened that the university I attended had an exchange opportunity in China.
My former mentor was also hired back to China by a Chinese school with a high salary.
So, Xu Lina signed up for the school's exchange program.
The teachers at Capital University were also a little surprised when they received the exchange list. It would be understandable if some foreign students applied for other majors.
But as we all know, China's fashion industry is just getting started.
The school's fashion design major is not well-known internationally.
************************
Judy was waiting in the arrival hall of Capital Airport early.
Seeing a familiar face, she quickly waved to him: "Lina! Lina!"
"Aunt Judy!" Xu Lina came out pushing the luggage, and the two of them gave each other an affectionate American kiss on the cheek.
Judy and Xu's mother are good friends. When Xu Lina was in high school, she began to learn fashion knowledge from Judy.
The university I applied to is also the school where Judy teaches.
"Lina, you came at the perfect time. I've just taken on a very special project. If you participate, it will definitely add color to your resume in the future!"
On the way, Judy informed Xu Lina in detail about the task of designing outfits for the Prime Minister's wife for her visit.
After listening to it, Xu Lina was very excited.
Although she looked down on China, she was, after all, the wife of the Prime Minister of a country.
Having experience designing clothes for such important people will be a great help to your future job application resume.
"Aunt Judy, I have an idea now! Since this is an international occasion, the lady's attire must reflect Chinese culture."
"The cheongsam best represents Chinese clothing. We can incorporate Chinese elements into the fabric pattern, such as the national flower peony and blue and white porcelain..."
Xu Lina shared her inspiration incessantly.
Judy nodded repeatedly with an appreciative look on her face.
The other two team members she chose were only destined to do odd jobs for them.
