Chapter 189: Advancing and Retreating Together
Xia Meng returned to Boss Chu's company. γFull text reading.γThis time. She really got to know Boss Chu. In constant contact. I also got to know him better and better. The company is already in a state of decay. Now in addition to finance, there is also Xia Meng. Boss Chu can be described as a real commander of the light pole.
In the past, the size of the company was not large. But there are at least two design departments for men's and women's clothing. Right now. The other designers are gone. Only Xia Meng is advancing and retreating with Boss Chu.
"Xia Meng. You see you're back. I ...... this," Chu Yunxuan always felt ashamed of her.
"It's fine. Say okay wow. In the future, the company will make a comeback. I'm a shareholder. Don't try to send me away with a small salary. She smiled mischievously. Deliberately joking with him.
Chu Yunxuan smiled bitterly. How could such a situation be repeated? Immediately, even the rent of the office building was almost unaffordable. And he was reluctant to reach out to his family. So it's really struggling at the moment.
Since Xia Meng returned. Since she has just won the top eight in the Shanghai Fashion Festival Design Competition. With this aura. The company has just received a small business. Although the amount is not large. But it's still okay to maintain operations for a while. But the rent of an office building is a lot of money. Chu Yunxuan was so anxious that he was furious.
Xia Meng worked part-time in two departments: men's and women's clothing. Chu Yunxuan is also from a design background. Two people work overtime together. Let's discuss. This is perhaps this time. He's the happiest thing.
"Xia Meng. Finalists after being shortlisted. Are your creations ready? Chu Yunxuan asked. She has already got her shortlisted letter. The time for the final is always set.
"Hmm. Finals. I'm going to give up. Xia Meng held the drawing pen. Still nervously busy.
Chu Yunxuan was taken aback. "Why. How did you give up? "You know. Such a great opportunity. How many people can't ask for it.
Xia Meng didn't say anything. She was afraid that Chu Yunxuan would feel uncomfortable again. In fact, she has been preparing for it some time ago. But that's the case with his company. Xia Meng was worried that he had some busy work again. So she couldn't calm down and prepare at all.
"Alas. That is, I feel that my strength is not enough. This time I was shortlisted a bit of a lucky feeling. So. Just give up. She pretended not to care. Very relaxed tone.
"Yes. Chu Yunxuan looked at her with suspicious eyes. After all, he felt uncomfortable in his heart. She felt that her condition was holding her down.
"Alright. All right. Boss Chu. Don't ask. I still have a couple of lists that haven't been designed. You bother me again. Then I guess we don't even have money for food. Xia Meng teased him. Chu Yunxuan couldn't continue to ask.
The two of them revised and revised. The design draft was rushed out before two o'clock in the afternoon.
"It's still too late. Or we'll send it over first. Now the customer's request is God's will. If they have an opinion. It can be modified as soon as possible. Xia Meng cleaned up. Urging Chu Yunxuan to hurry up.
"But you've been busy all morning. I didn't eat lunch either. Chu Yunxuan frowned. Said with concern.
"Didn't you eat it too? Always on the side. All right. We do the design. Eating irregularly. That's a common thing. Wait for the list to be completed. You treat me to a big meal. "The relationship between the two has become very harmonious. Chu Yunxuan couldn't say anything about her. I had to go with her to the client.
It is a medium-sized clothing store. There are two storefronts near the shopping street.
The boss is a middle-aged woman in her forties. Very amiable but also very shrewd.
Xia Meng and Chu Yunxuan walked in. Found her in the boss's office.
"Boss Li. Here's the blueprint you're looking for. Our summer designers worked overtime to help you design it. Chu Yunxuan politely handed over the design drawings to her.
Boss Li had the usual smile on his face. "Okay. You sit down first. I'm going to talk to the pattern maker. β
"Thank you, Boss Li. If there are any comments. I can change it right away. Xia Meng's attitude was very sincere. Boss Li nodded and went upstairs.
Take advantage of their discussions. Xia Meng casually strolled around the store. The shop is mainly women's clothing. The clothes are nicely done. The design and cut are all superb. She picked up a cashmere coat that hung in the window. I touched the feel. Flip the inside open. I took a good look at the sign.
"Xinyun. She looked. I think this brand is very familiar. "I think I've seen it somewhere. She was a little confused. Like they do in the clothing industry. They are very sensitive to brand design.
"What's wrong. What are you thinking. Chu Yunxuan walked over. Asked with concern.
Xia Meng pondered. "I'm a little impressed with this brand. I've heard anyone mention it before. β
"Yes. Cloud Heart. Chu Yunxuan picked it up and looked at it. "It seems to be all this brand of clothes here. Is it a specialty store? The proprietress also asked us to design clothes for something. I thought she was a ready-to-wear store. Chu Yunxuan was also a little puzzled.
"This is the clothing brand I run. Have been doing this for a few years now. "Boss Li came down from upstairs. Said with a smile.
"You're still running your own clothes. Xia Meng was surprised. "Isn't this shop your main business? β
Boss Li smiled. "This store is physical. I have my own brand. The main business is online. Otherwise, in this golden mile. I can't afford the rent. "She's humble. Xia Meng smiled slightly when he heard this.
Boss Li laughed. We know your strength. Chu Yunxuan said with a smile.
Xia Meng was very interested in this topic. "Say so. You're an online brand. No wonder. I think this brand is very familiar. I remembered. You are one of the top 10 brands of *Bao women's clothing. It's amazing. "Xia Meng used to like to shop online. No wonder I have an impression of this brand.
Boss Li invited them to sit down. "Online sales are an important channel now. My boutique women's clothing. It has always been the first choice for urban female white-collar workers. Traditional sales model. It's already very competitive. Develop business channels in many aspects. It's a great choice. β
Xia Meng listened. I agree with her. Don't look at her as just a small clothing store. In fact. She's really strong.
"That. Boss Li. Do you have any comments on our design. Chu Yunxuan asked.
"I've seen it with the pattern maker. He was satisfied. The design of Boss Chu's company is really top-notch. Boss Li nodded. "I want to work with your company for a long time. Later, he will be responsible for the special design of the cloud heart. "Strength is everything. Boss Li is very courageous. The cooperation was immediately finalized.
"Really. Chu Yunxuan was very excited. This is the smoothest business in recent times. "That's really thank you Boss Li for your trust. You see. When it's convenient. Let's sign a contract. Maintain a long-term relationship. β
"Hmm. I'm in a hurry today. I'm going to go to the foundry in a moment to explain. Or tomorrow. Come here tomorrow. "Boss Li is very refreshing. "The specific amount. We can finalize it tomorrow. I hope Boss Chu can give me a discounted price. "Of course. She's still always shrewd. The true nature of a businessman. Eat everything. I don't eat it.
"Okay, okay. Tomorrow at ten o'clock in the morning. I came with the contract. Such. Here we go. Boss Li, you're busy. "A look of joy on the face. A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance. Chu Yunxuan's face finally had a smile again.
"Hmm. Boss Chu. Summer designer. Good bye. "Very polite. She got up to say goodbye to them.
"Goodbye. "Goodbye. "After the negotiation. Xia Meng and Chu Yunxuan went out.
The two got into the car. Xia Meng was silent as if he was thinking about something.
Chu Yunxuan was very happy. "Xia Meng. You really are my lucky star. You really can't make this business without you. That's right. Aren't you going to have a big meal? Where do you want to go. Tell me. β
Xia Meng has been pondering something. They didn't notice that he was questioning.
"Xia Meng. Summer Dream. Chu Yunxuan called her softly. "What's wrong with you. It's always weird. β
"Ugh. Oh. She came back to her senses. "Boss Chu. You said. Isn't it time for our company to transform? β
Chu Yunxuan started the car. "What do you say. Transformation. β
"That's right. Xia Meng said seriously. "Actually, I've been paying attention to this cloud heart for a long time. The quality of the costumes is good. The design is also novel. But their style is always changing. So it restricts her development. β
Chu Yunxuan listened carefully. "Hmm. Maybe it's because there is no fixed designer and a fixed design team. β
"That's exactly what our company is good at. I think. Diversification. Abandon the traditional business thinking. This may be a good idea. β
Xia Meng was originally thinking about the company's development.
Chu Yunxuan didn't say anything. Listen silently. "Hmm. There is a coffee shop there. Let's have a bite to eat and have a good chat. β
"Okay. Let's go over there. "The car turned into the parking lot. Came to the Uejima coffee shop.
Found a soft seat in the business area. Xia Meng and Chu Yunxuan ordered a simple meal. Chu Yunxuan ordered another glass of freshly squeezed apple juice for Xia Meng. "Let's keep it simple. I'll make it up to you in the evening. He laughed. Carefully handed the juice to her.
"Hmm. Thank you. "Xia Meng is really a little hungry. Talk while eating. The two of them had a really lively conversation.
"Boss Chu. Didn't we have many garment factories that we had cooperated with before? I also have a good understanding of the situation of each factory. We can find reputable factories with good cost, quality and delivery time. We design it ourselves. Also set up your own brand online. β
Chu Yunxuan nodded when he heard this. "Take the boutique route. Combined with popular needs. Womenswear is our forte. That's a good idea. β
"We can divide clothes into three grades: high, medium and low. It's like a shopping mall. Costumes are also available in multiple grades. β
Xia Meng said while eating. It looks serious. Maybe it's because you're too focused. A grain of millet was on her lips. But she was still talking intently. Didn't notice it in the slightest.
Chu Yunxuan was attracted by her focused and serious expression. That kind of love in the eyes. You can't hide it.
"Xia Meng. Don't move. He looked at her affectionately. Cute and beautiful summer dream. His eternal favorite.
"What's wrong. Xia Meng was stunned.
Chu Yunxuan stretched out his hand. Gently and gently take the grains of rice from her face. Gentle touch of fingers. The moment he touched Xia Meng's cheek. Her face flushed.
Then. Wu Qing and the customer happened to walk into the cafΓ©. He looked up for a comfortable seat. I happened to see this scene.
"Hmph. This pair of dogs for men and women. He cursed under his mouth. "Phew. "Yes. Changed his face. The group sat not far from them.
