"General Manager Luo, Qingyun is getting more and more perfunctory these days. Not only did you send over a woman who just graduated, but now you're making us a bunch of people play house with her. What, do you think everyone's got nothing better to do?"
Jiang Yu handed the manuscript to Principal Han. The woman glanced at it with disdain, raised her delicate hand, and was about to start cursing.
Seeing her temper flare up, Luo Zewen nervously broke out in a cold sweat and looked to Jiang Yu for help.
"Principal Han, don't be in such a hurry, let's take a look first."
Jiang Yu narrowed her eyes, looking at the other woman with unwavering confidence. Although the woman was skeptical of her abilities, she couldn't resist the woman's claim that she was a recent college graduate, which was a veiled compliment on her youth.
"What are you looking at? Your homework from school? If word gets out, what will the students' parents and our partners think of us? What will become of our school's reputation?"
The woman was furious and slammed her hand on the table, about to leave. Seeing this, Luo Zewen quickly got up and went to calm her down, while also giving Jiang Yu a meaningful look.
Sitting at the very back, Su Jinshi watched this absurd scene and couldn't help but roll her eyes. She thought this woman was so capable, but she still managed to make such a mess of the place.
I really don't know how my brother could be so bewitched as to believe her.
"Ms. Han, you might as well take a look at the work, whether it's good or bad. If you really think we're playing you for a fool, then I'll ask Mr. Gong Sheng's most outstanding student to come and design it for you, how about that?"
Su Jinshi sat in a swivel chair, tapping the table with his pen, and spoke slowly and deliberately.
It must be said that although she was the most favored child in the Su family, she was still very useful at crucial moments. This was because she didn't just cause trouble for the higher-ups at the company; she also made efforts to understand the preferences of her clients.
"Mr. Miyazaki? You can invite him over?"
Upon hearing the name, Principal Han's arrogance subsided considerably. He stared at Su Jinshi with a mixture of belief and doubt, wondering if she could produce any compelling evidence.
Not only Principal Han, but everyone present was filled with anticipation. This was because Mr. Gong Sheng had studied in Germany in his early years, and later moved to England, where he was hailed by the nobility as the royal designer.
He eventually returned to China after completing his studies. He is fluent in eight languages and possesses a certain talent for design.
For those in the design world, Mr. Miyazaki is a rare and highly sought-after genius. Many people want to meet him but are turned away, let alone design his work.
Even in the 21st century, her Beijing headquarters leaders, despite having connections with a powerful figure, couldn't persuade him to come.
However, it was twenty years later that the leader finally made a name for himself in the design world. The old gentleman passed away due to his advanced age, a regret he could never erase from his heart.
What no one knew was that Mr. Gong had once been a tutor at a design college in the capital, a field with few students due to its unpopularity. Jiang Yu happened to choose his topic by chance, and their relationship became one of mentor and father figure. Every year on his birthday, Jiang Yu would fly to Beijing to celebrate with her mentor and his wife.
“He is his student.”
Su Jinshi emphasized that she dared not even dream of having an old gentleman design a tattered school uniform for her.
Principal Han pondered for a long time before nodding in agreement. Mr. Gong's students were certainly no ordinary individuals.
Jiang Yu knew that, apart from herself, Mr. Gong didn't have any so-called most outstanding student. The reason she was able to become the old master's last disciple was because he noticed her rich imagination by chance.
However, in order to keep this difficult customer in check, she didn't expose her and watched Miss Su's performance for the whole time.
"Then let's put it on the agenda and arrange a meeting as soon as possible."
Principal Han had her own agenda. If she could obtain works by Gong Sheng's students, her school would be practically gilded. Not only would schools in the city look up to them, but even schools outside the province would have to give them a second glance. She couldn't even bear to think about the prospect of building a reputation and receiving a steady stream of students.
"No problem. Before that, please take a look at our CEO Jiang's design draft."
While negotiating with Principal Han, Su Jinshi didn't forget to give Jiang Yu a shout-out. Whether it would work out or not was another matter, but at least Qingyun's face had to be saved.
"Let me take a look."
The woman reluctantly extended her hand, waiting for the manuscript to be handed over. Jiang Yu gestured to her assistant beside her and passed it over.
Principal Han was quite surprised when she saw the picture; it was surprisingly eye-catching. Ignoring the paper, the white blouse featured patterns on the arms and cuffs, and the bottom was designed as a skirt for girls and trousers for boys.
The skirt and trousers also had subtle patterns, and with a row of neat buttons on the top, her desire for novelty and aristocratic feel was fulfilled at the same time.
Although satisfied, she retained her earlier arrogance. She tried to conceal the gleam in her eyes and offered a perfunctory, albeit somewhat acceptable, response.
"It's alright, just enough to meet our requirements. But compared to Mr. Gong Sheng's students, it's probably not even close. Madam, I've seen your CEO Jiang's work. When would you like to schedule a time?"
Principal Han asked again impatiently, and Su Jinshi slowly replied:
"Next week, you know, even as your student, it's not so easy to meet. Let's arrange a time then and contact each other by phone."
"Just to be on the safe side, we'll accept Mr. Jiang's design draft for now. You should make a sample as soon as possible this week, and then we can make a selection based on the designer's work."
On the surface, it seems like Principal Han is being very thorough, making preparations for both possibilities. In reality, she has already set her sights on Jiang Yu's design and doesn't want to give away such a good piece of work.
"We also need to have a serious talk about the contract."
Jiang Yu saw through her thoughts and didn't back down at all. Leveraging their superior advantages, they ultimately signed the contract with a three-point increase in their demands.
After seeing the group off, Luo Zewen couldn't help but give Su Jinshi a thumbs up. He had to admit, this young lady was indeed quite capable; he had underestimated her before.
Back in her office, Jiang Yu revised her work, and during this time, she had her assistant deliver the materials she needed.
While Luo Zewen was busy dealing with the follow-up contracts, Su Jinshi began to use her connections to contact friends she hadn't seen for many years.
While everyone else was busy with their own tasks, Lu Yi was in the workshop, holding onto a female worker tightly.
He has now been promoted to team leader by Su Jinshi, and relying on his connection with the young lady, he acts arrogantly in the workshop.
He secretly met with Jiang Meier a couple of days ago. It was Lu Yi who instigated him to report Jiang Chun, with the aim of bringing down Jiang Yu.
Now, they are trying every means to arrange for Jiang Meier to join Qingyun.
